Chapter 1010: 1005. Settling the Grudge

The arrival of Iron Fir Capital was indeed somewhat unexpected for Zhang Ran, but in reality, Zhang Ran had not thought they would do this.

However, since Iron Fir Capital wanted to get involved at this time, and in a direction that was favorable to him, he was of course very willing.

Zhang Ran chatted with Wang Yiming of Iron Fir Capital for a long time; when they began chatting, Taylor found an opportunity to return.

It was not appropriate for him to get involved in such an occasion.

The reason he had followed along before was, first, that he happened to be there at the time, and second, he wanted to see what Iron Fir Capital intended to do.

Now, Taylor felt even more confident.

In fact, any discerning person could see that the Rhode Family's days were numbered; Zhang Ran had set things up too tightly, leaving almost no gaps at all.

Zhang Ran had not spent so much time doing only this; in many aspects, Zhang Ran had made arrangements.

And once these arrangements were set in motion, it was not something one or two people could stop.

The reason Zhang Ran had been hiding before, besides the fact that the arrangements were not yet complete, was primarily because of the United States government.

Others could not stop him, but they could.

They could even block Zhang Ran entirely with just a single decree, so Zhang Ran needed to be prepared.

Now it was fine; the biggest obstacle was gone, and the Rhode Family's business partners had all been pulled in by Zhang Ran.

Let alone seeking help, it would be a good thing if the Rhode Family didn't have to guard against them now.

And most importantly, all of this by Zhang Ran was an open conspiracy, upright and honorable; no matter who saw it, they could not say a bad word about it.

Therefore, neither Taylor nor Iron Fir Capital chose to oppose Zhang Ran at this time.

They had their own considerations; knowing it was impossible to succeed, they would not go against the general trend.

Opposing Zhang Ran at this time meant opposing more than just Zhang Ran alone.

"I wish us a pleasant cooperation," Zhang Ran said, shaking hands with Wang Yiming.

Wang Yiming smiled and said, "Pleasant cooperation."

After chatting for a few moments, Wang Yiming left; he still needed to rush back to report the situation.

Although he could make decisions on many matters himself, regarding this particular affair, some things still needed to be discussed by everyone together.

The benefits that could be gained this time were not very large; after all, things had reached this point, and no matter what, Zhang Ran would not give away too much profit.

But this time, it had allowed them to open up a path through Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran's influence in Asia was still very significant, especially in Huaxia, where Zhang Ran held a unique status in the business world.

If they were to develop in Huaxia, it was very important to maintain a good relationship with Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran sent Wang Yiming off, and not long after, he welcomed some other people; the purpose of these people was the same as Wang Yiming's.

Among them were several who had previously had some conflicts with Zhang Ran, but this time they still placed their chips on Zhang Ran's side.

And Zhang Ran did not refuse; the conflicts with these people were all commercial, and since they were commercial, there was nothing that could not be reconciled.

This was not like the Rhode Family; at this time, even if the Rhode Family paid a huge price, Zhang Ran would not choose to compromise.

For several consecutive days, Zhang Ran was busy receiving and sending off guests.

After handling all of this, Zhang Ran took He Yong to a certain place.

This was the Zhou Family Restaurant.

Since the last incident, the Zhou family's life had become much easier; for Zhou Laotaitai, Zhang Ran had also arranged for good medical care.

Although Zhang Ran had said he wouldn't worry about Zhou Gang, he had actually arranged some things to put him on the right path and give him a legitimate profession.

Xu Meijuan now felt that life was getting better every day; her son had a girlfriend, and she was also Chinese.

She was now pregnant, and they were just waiting for the right time to get married.

When she saw Zhang Ran and the others arrive, Xu Meijuan was stunned for a moment, then immediately greeted them very warmly.

"Mr. Zhang, what would you like to eat? I will go make it now," Xu Meijuan said happily.

Zhang Ran shook his head and said, "We aren't hungry; we came here this time because there are some things I want to tell you."

Seeing that Zhang Ran spoke solemnly, Xu Meijuan seemed to sense something and asked, "Mr. Zhang, what is it you want to say?"

"I already told you most of what there was to say about Zhou Fei's matter last time, so I won't go into the details again.

And that was a matter between Zhou Fei and me, but regardless, Zhou Fei was my brother in the past, and in the end, he could be considered to have helped me.

The family that plotted against me, bribed Zhou Fei, and eventually killed Zhou Fei is already about to be finished.

I came here just to ask one thing: do you want to go and take a look?" Zhang Ran said with a calm expression.

This was the purpose of Zhang Ran's visit; now the Rhode Family had absolutely no ability to make a comeback.

Regardless, in this incident, Zhou Fei was actually a very important reason, and all in all, Zhou Fei had died at the hands of the Rhode Family.

So Zhang Ran came to ask.

He did not force them; if Xu Meijuan chose not to go, he would have no objections.

In any case, this grudge would be completely resolved in the near future.

Xu Meijuan fell completely silent; she did not doubt Zhang Ran's words at all. What kind of status did Zhang Ran have now?

He was the richest man in the world!

If Zhang Ran said it was resolved, then it was resolved.

Now that Zhang Ran was asking her if she wanted to go take one last look at the family that harmed her husband, Xu Meijuan didn't know how to choose for a moment.

But very quickly, Xu Meijuan nodded firmly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, I am willing to go."

That was the person who caused her husband's death; if she didn't go take a look, she wouldn't be able to rest in peace even in death!

This could also be considered avenging her husband.

"Here is the address; you can come within half a month," Zhang Ran said, and then he left with his people.

Xu Meijuan put the address away and fell silent again; she didn't even notice when her son, Zhou Gang, returned.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Gang looked at his mother with some surprise; what had happened?

Xu Meijuan looked at her son, then looked at the note, and as if she had made up her mind, she handed the note over while relaying Zhang Ran's words.

In fact, Xu Meijuan knew clearly that there was always a flame burning in Zhou Gang's heart, and that was for the Rhode Family.

After learning the specific details last time, Zhou Gang had always wanted to avenge his father; perhaps this was the responsibility of a son.

But Zhou Gang also knew clearly that the gap between him and the Rhode Family was far, far too great.

Now was also just the right opportunity to let Zhou Gang completely put down this resentment, to truly be able to let go of the past, and to go live a life that belonged entirely to himself.

Zhou Gang gripped his hands tightly; Xu Meijuan did not need to ask to know his choice.
