Chapter 1002: 997. Beyond Saving (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Zhao Hu never imagined that Zhang Ran would actually be able to find this place, and that he would run into him so coincidentally.

Furthermore, although Zhang Ran's tone was calm, Zhao Hu knew that Zhang Ran was somewhat displeased.

The few people on the side saw Zhao Hu's appearance and were all surprised.

One must know that this Boss Zhao Hu is no small fry.

It is said that he was doing quite well in the past, but back then it was just so-so, and nobody paid him any mind.

However, in the last few years, he could be said to have soared to the skies.

He is on good terms with many big shots in the business world, and many matters that they felt were difficult seemed to become very simple in his hands.

Although the necessary price still had to be paid, and what needed to be given might even be more, as long as the matter could be accomplished, they did not care about this little expenditure.

Moreover, this Boss Zhao Hu is also on good terms with some second-generation elites in Shanghai, and it is said that quite a few of them have shares here.

Zhao Hu is merely a small boss.

These things are not groundless; at the very least, Zhao Hu has helped accomplish many things and has also helped introduce some people.

This influence is quite significant; at least, that is how they see it.

Boss Guo only learned of this place through an introduction this time, and after paying an "entrance fee" of nearly a million, he also felt that this money was not spent in vain.

Moreover, this money was still his; he could still enjoy what he was supposed to enjoy, it just didn't exist in his own hands.

Therefore, Boss Guo had no complaints about this.

But to see a figure who he thought had eyes and ears everywhere get so scared just because of a few words from the person in front of him, Boss Guo could not help but feel shocked.

However, he seemed to think of something immediately; Boss Guo had also heard from the person who introduced him that this Boss Zhao seemed to have some connection with the world's richest man, who is currently in the limelight.

It is precisely because of this that this Boss Zhao has what he has today.

One must never underestimate the world's richest man, especially a world's richest man like Zhang Ran; sometimes, a title is not just a title, but also brings more things due to changing circumstances.

Furthermore, Zhang Ran has very deep connections with quite a few people above, it is just that Zhang Ran does not want to get involved, which is why everyone does not know.

Most people in the business world do not know, but some second-generation elites might have heard some rumors, especially here in Shanghai.

Most second-generation elites are actually quite good and have a strong spirit of enterprise, but also because of some reasons, although most of these people are excellent, they also have a pride hidden deep in their hearts.

Therefore, it is possible that some people will deliberately look after their juniors and say a little more.

After all, Zhang Ran is very low-key, and being low-key means he seems easy to bully.

Boss Guo thought of this, which is why his heart was startled at this moment.

However, Zhang Ran did not know what he was thinking, nor did he care to know.

"Is this place yours?" Zhang Ran asked while holding the little hands of the two little ones.

At this moment, the two little ones were also looking at Zhao Hu with full curiosity; they also recognized him, after all, Zhao Hu had been here before.

But at this moment, neither of the two little ones spoke.

Sweat had broken out on Zhao Hu's forehead, "It... it is mine, no, it is not mine."

He was almost unable to speak properly.

This is because Zhao Hu understood that everything he currently possessed was based on Zhang Ran.

Although he had never explicitly stated his relationship with Zhang Ran, those rumors outside were also spread by him intentionally or unintentionally.

Plus, it was not very difficult for some people to verify, which is why the situation today came to be.

But Zhao Hu knew even better what Zhang Ran tabooed, so he was so scared that his legs went soft.

"Speak properly." Zhang Ran was somewhat dissatisfied; this guy was a bit embarrassing.

Actually, under normal circumstances, it would not have come to this, but Zhao Hu had become accustomed to smooth sailing these past few years, and plus he seemed to have touched Zhang Ran's taboo, which is why he was like this.

Scolded by Zhang Ran, Zhao Hu recovered slightly and hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhang, I only hold a very small portion of the shares, helping a friend manage it."

Zhang Ran did not show any reaction upon hearing this, "I just heard that you seem to have quite a lot of connections, can you tell me about them?"

Zhao Hu's face turned pale upon hearing this, and he stammered, not knowing what to say.

Zhang Ran looked at him deeply, looked at the room that had been opened, took the room card, and prepared to walk away.

Just at this moment, Zhao Hu seemed to have made a decision, "Mr. Zhang, I know I was wrong, I will return the shares tomorrow."

Zhang Ran said indifferently: "There are some things you shouldn't touch. If you really touched them with your own ability, then it would be none of my business no matter what.

But if you did something you shouldn't have done and involved others, then it won't be settled so simply when the time comes."

After saying this, Zhang Ran left directly.

He really hadn't paid much attention to Zhao Hu during this period; after all, his attention had always been on a higher level.

In the past, he had also cautioned Zhao Hu about some matters, and they were all handled quite well.

This was actually a chance he gave Zhao Hu, or rather, it was because of the care from He Yong's side.

But now it seems that Zhao Hu did not grasp this opportunity well, or perhaps he grasped it too well.

He Yong has not been by Zhang Ran's side recently because of some matters regarding He Qing, but Zhang Ran will have He Yong properly investigate Zhao Hu later.

Although Zhang Ran did not know the specific situation here, nor did he know what kind of situation this holiday villa was, he knew what kind of person Zhao Hu was.

With Zhao Hu's own ability, it was impossible for him to possess such a large family business, let alone be on good terms with those people.

After all, for so many years, he had only been hanging around places like bars; Zhang Ran absolutely did not believe that he suddenly became enlightened and started doing so well.

Then many things became simple, and Zhang Ran did not need to think too much about it.

After Zhang Ran left, Zhao Hu stood there in a daze; he knew that he was likely finished this time, but he dared not resist.

Because these things were only possessed by him using Zhang Ran's reputation; otherwise, why would those people think highly of him, and why would they hand over many matters for him to handle?

Boss Guo said cautiously: "Boss Zhao, who is this..."

Zhao Hu smiled reluctantly: "You shouldn't ask about this."

After saying this, he hurriedly gave an instruction, "Boss Guo, your matter will likely have to be put on hold for now; I will give you an explanation later."

After saying this, he left in a hurry; he had to go find He Yong. Now, only He Yong could speak for him in front of Zhang Ran; otherwise, he was truly beyond saving.
