Chapter 466: Chapter 466: Congratulations (Extra Monthly Ticket Chapter) Chapter 466: Chapter 466: Congratulations (Extra Monthly Ticket Chapter) Two people returned home.
As soon as they entered, they saw An Cheng sitting on the sofa, beaming with joy. He excitedly stood up upon seeing his son and patted his shoulder.
“The Chief had already called me. You did really well, son. To be at this level at the age of 25, even I didn’t have your capabilities at your age. My boy, let’s have a drink with your dad later.”
The excitement in his voice was almost uncontrollable.
“Ayuan, congratulations on now being Director An.”
Wei Shufen said with a congratulatory smile, though her heart was not at ease.
If only An Zhixiang had been the director instead.
An Zhiyuan and her were not on the same page at all.
Children at home were soaring high, and it was said that An Zhigao’s business was thriving more with each day.
Many said that An Zhigao, responding to national policies, plus the supportive policies for small and medium enterprises, and his father’s connections were so extensive that An Zhigao’s business empire had expanded to nearly every province with branch offices.
Just by looking at this wretched boy, who changed his cars often and always those expensive imported ones, one could tell he was not short of money.
But An Zhigao’s wealth had nothing to do with her; the dead knot between them was a lifetime tie, unbreakable, and even though she had made countless efforts right from the start to salvage their broken relationship, it was to no avail.
She had originally hoped that Ding Min could marry An Zhiyuan, so at least her family could ride on his coattails. Now, what had been well planned could have separated them into different places and then moved Ding Min closer to An Zhiyuan to foster affection over time.
If that didn’t work, turning the initially uncooked rice into a cooked meal would suffice, to tie An Zhiyuan to their chariot.
The Wei family was indeed in decline; otherwise, she wouldn’t need to consider these things. Her nephews were not very promising. They were good at indulging in pleasures, each one lying on the laurels of their predecessors, consuming the family’s old capital. The problem was her own elder brother didn’t hold a powerful position. After drifting through a few more years, he was about to retire.
While the person is present, the favors remain; when the person leaves, the tea goes cold.
When the time comes, if no one from the next generation steps up, their family would completely become an ordinary family.
Unfortunately, all these plans had already turned into a mirage.
This outstanding man could no longer become their family’s shelter.
Indeed, human plans can’t compete with those of heaven.
Now she could only pin her hopes on An Zhixiang. Although An Zhixiang was somewhat gentle and indecisive, he was, after all, An Cheng’s son and An Zhiyuan’s brother, which alone, with these two advantages, should be enough for him to climb to the peak.
Although An Zhixiang could not possibly become a colonel at 25, at least making captain should be within his reach.
If he could earn some more merits, he certainly could rise to a higher level, though such merits weren’t easy to acquire.
An Zhigao and An Zhixiang both came over to congratulate An Zhiyuan.
This was indeed a great joy for their family.
The youngest director had emerged from their family.
And with the status of having made significant contributions, his background absolutely crushed many others at the same level.
“Younger brother, congratulations, you’re impressive, truly worthy of being our father’s son,” said An Zhigao, genuinely happy for his brother.
Seeing his younger brother succeed made him happier than making any amount of money from business.
“Second brother, congratulations!” An Zhixiang regarded such a brother, wondering what it meant to be promising at a young age. This was a living example. He started to reflect for the first time whether he had lived too long in a greenhouse, dulling the sharp edge a man should have.
