Chapter 1000: 995. Zhang Ran's Method of Discipline (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Zhang Ran appears leisurely, but in reality, he is quite busy. Not to mention that Headquarters finds him with matters from time to time, there are also many cooperation affairs that require negotiation with him.

Many matters now require Zhang Ran to make the decisions. Regarding cooperation, although Zhang Ran has temporarily handed over the leading role to Aili for various reasons.

That does not mean he truly ignores everything.

Regardless, that oil field is still held in his hands, and these cooperations were fundamentally pushed forward by him.

It is just that for certain reasons, he himself is unable to come forward.

However, any terms discussed within them must also be approved by him; otherwise, there is no hope of cooperation.

Of course, this is not to say that Aili truly lacks autonomy. If that were the case, someone like him probably would not have agreed to Zhang Ran.

It is just that on certain matters, he simply cannot make the final decision.

Zhang Ran is at home, while Sicheng has been sent out by him, using the name of a branch company, though in reality, it is just to go and learn.

Such negotiations are of great benefit to his growth.

Liu Lu was also sent over by Zhang Ran. Liu Lu has not had a proper rest or time to play for such a long time, so she can just take this opportunity to take a good look at the world.

However, because of this, only Zhang Ran and the two little ones are left at home.

Even Siyan is so busy every day that her feet barely touch the ground, and with Qian Li's belly getting bigger and bigger, she also frequently runs over there.

There are many things to do now, and Zhiyuan is also contributing her efforts, so there is not much time to come over.

There is no other way; matters are coming one after another now. If Zhang Ran wants to be secure in the future, he must resolve everything during this period.

With Liu Lu gone, the two little ones, Susu and Taotao, are truly like huskies off their leashes; no one can keep them in check.

Zhang Ran does not really want to manage them either; as long as the two little ones do not cause trouble, then everything is up to them.

It is actually not without reason that the two little ones rely on Zhang Ran so much; after all, there are not many times when they can play as they please like this.

However, things that need to be done must still be done, such as homework. On this matter, Zhang Ran does not allow them to be lazy.

They can be lazy, but if they are beaten or scolded afterward, Zhang Ran will not say a single word for them.

However, the two little ones also know right from wrong and know what they can do and what they cannot do.

Therefore, when it comes to doing homework, there is no need for Zhang Ran to urge them at all.

Furthermore, during this period, the two little ones have actually learned quite a few things, such as doing chores.

In the past, when Liu Lu was at home, there was no need for them to do chores at all.

Not to mention after Zhang Ran returned, even when he had not returned, the two little ones did not have to do such things.

Let us not even talk about Susu.

As for Taotao, do not look at the fact that there was not much money in the house at the time, and Sicheng and Liu Lu were both very busy.

But the two of them were both diligent people; no matter how tired or bitter it was, they would always tidy these things up.

"Have you folded your quilts?" Zhang Ran asked while eating a fried dough stick and drinking soy milk.

However, what responded to him were two slightly panicked little faces.

"Grandpa, why didn't you call me? We're already late," Susu said with some dissatisfaction while anxiously putting on her shoes.

It is already eight-thirty, and the time for school is long past.

Zhang Xiaotao is the same; at this moment, he is flustered. No matter how the two little ones are, they have never been late before.

And as students, they are always very panicked about being late.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ran said unhurriedly: "Don't blame me. I did call you, but you fell back asleep yourselves."

When Zhang Ran said this, there was a faint hint of a smile at the corners of his mouth.

In fact, this was also intentional on his part. Because there were no restrictions these past few days, the two little ones played on their phones until very late.

After Zhang Ran said something once or twice, the effect was not great; after all, he could not bring himself to beat them.

However, Zhang Ran has his own methods, so today, he only called them slightly in the morning and then left them alone.

For the first two days, the two little ones were full of energy; although they were very sleepy when they woke up in the morning, they could always force themselves to get up.

But today, it did not work.

Susu pouted and said: "But Grandpa, you could have called me again."

"Didn't Grandpa prepare breakfast for you?" Zhang Ran certainly would not say this was intentional, so he naturally found a reason for himself.

"I didn't know you would sleep for so long."

Zhang Xiaotao could not care about anything else at this moment; after putting on his shoes, he rushed straight out, "Grandpa, I'm not eating breakfast."

Zhang Ran did not stop them, nor did he bring them breakfast, letting them go hungry so they would learn a lesson.

It is fine for children to go hungry for a meal or two; Zhang Ran still has that bit of ruthlessness.

Along the way, the two little ones were full of worry, whispering to each other from time to time. Zhang Ran knew without listening that the two little ones were discussing finding an excuse.

However, Zhang Ran would not let them have their way.

So he directly dialed their homeroom teacher's phone number.

"Teacher, yes, it's me. It's like this: Susu played too late last night and overslept this morning. This is her fault; please discipline her as you see fit."

Susu looked at her grandfather with a face full of disbelief. She had just thought of an excuse, so how was she betrayed by her grandfather immediately?

Zhang Xiaotao also felt like a deflated ball at this moment, knowing that he certainly would not be able to escape either.

He thought correctly, and Zhang Ran was even more direct here, telling his homeroom teacher directly that he was playing games too late and then did not get up in the morning.

This made Zhang Xiaotao shudder all over.

Zhang Ran then acted as if nothing had happened, taking the two little ones and walking to school on his own.

He believes that after this time, they will know that doing this in the future is wrong and that they should be more restrained.

"Study hard when you get to school, and don't get distracted," Zhang Ran added a concerned instruction before they left.

But at this moment, the two little ones were in no mood to listen to him; they both walked into the school with their heads hanging low.

By the time Zhang Ran picked them up from school in the afternoon, the two little ones had recovered, but by the evening, they consciously went to bed very early.

Perhaps this could also be because they had been too tired these past two days.

However, the following few days proved that Zhang Ran's discipline was actually still useful, and because they realized their mistakes themselves, it was very easy for them to correct them.

It was not like before, when they were forced to correct themselves, and as soon as they relaxed even a little, they would return to their old ways.
