Chapter 160: 157. Mr. Zhang Can Fully Represent His Highness the Prince (Bonus for 800 Monthly Votes)

Everyone was surprised that the person Zhao Jingyu said would come to explain was actually such a young man.

These people all put on an expression of waiting to see a good show; they really wanted to see what kind of flowers Zhang Ran could talk out of his mouth.

Some people had actually already started preparing to take this opportunity to attack Huo Zhiyuan; otherwise, they wouldn't have had such an attitude just now.

Each of their teams actually represented an influential shareholder, and this was also internal competition within the company.

But then, something that shocked them happened: they saw Rahama, who had been sitting quietly to the side, suddenly stand up at this moment, bow slightly to Zhang Ran, and say respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Zhang."

This scene caused many people's jaws to drop; this was Rahama, the person in charge of Prince Haiman's team.

Don't look at their aggressive appearance just now; it was actually just a facade, and they didn't dare to truly offend Rahama.

One must know that many of Prince Haiman's industries were handled by this Rahama, and Prince Haiman's main industries were concentrated in the luxury goods sector; their Kangshilan was also a member of this industry.

Added to Prince Haiman's status, Rahama actually held a very high position.

But such a person was acting so deferentially toward this "young man" who had just arrived, making them find it hard to accept for a moment, and at the same time, some people had a bad premonition in their hearts.

Zhang Ran said to Rahama, "Thank you, Mr. Rahama. You've worked hard during this time."

"Being able to help you is my honor. Before His Highness the Prince left, he personally instructed me to be sure to serve you well."

"If Mr. Zhang has any matters in the future, feel free to come to me; I will definitely do my utmost to serve you." Rahama's attitude was very low, looking exactly like a butler.

In fact, Rahama really was one of Prince Haiman's butlers, only his role as a butler was to manage industries for Prince Haiman.

Before Prince Haiman left, he had told Rahama that as long as it was something Zhang Ran requested him to handle, provided it did not involve politics, Rahama must fully comply; Zhang Ran's orders were the same as his own orders.

When Prince Haiman said this, Rahama saw Prince Haiman laugh at himself, "It is I who overthought it; that guy won't get involved in politics."

Rahama also knew just how good the relationship between Prince Haiman and this Mr. Zhang Ran was, which is why he was showing this demeanor at this moment.

Zhang Ran said, "Mr. Rahama, you are too polite. Please sit."

At this moment, it seemed as if Zhang Ran was the master here.

Because of Rahama's attitude just now, the room was now frighteningly quiet, and everyone was looking at Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran scanned the room, looked at the still-nervous Siyan, and smiled, saying, "Relax a bit, I'm here."

The simple three words "I'm here" gave Siyan a feeling of having a backer, as if there was nothing to be afraid of anymore.

Qian Li was looking at Zhang Ran with full admiration; she had known before that this Zhang Shu was not simple, but looking at it now, it seemed she had still underestimated him.

Zhang Ran turned his gaze to Zhao Jingyu, "Assistant Zhao, tell me the situation in detail."

Although Zhang Ran had listened to Qian Li talk about the general idea, he was not very clear on the specifics; at the time, Qian Li had mainly talked about what had happened previously.

Zhao Jingyu nervously used a brief and fast tone to recount the matter, after which she stopped speaking and stayed quietly to the side.

While Zhao Jingyu was speaking, no one interrupted; it was truly because Rahama's attitude just now had stunned all these people.

After listening, Zhang Ran nodded to indicate he understood, then scanned the room and said indifferently, "You think my daughter is unqualified to be the person in charge of this project?"

Once these words were out, except for those who already knew Zhang Ran's true age, the others were stunned.

No one spoke in the room for a time, and Zhang Ran did not urge them, just quietly watching them.

Having heard Zhao Jingyu's account just now, he had already guessed some of Huo Zhiyuan's thoughts, so his attitude at this moment was very tough.

At this time, someone spoke up, "This gentleman, this is our company's internal affair. Although you are Miss Siyan's father, you have no right to interfere in our company's affairs."

The others also regained their senses one after another and expressed deep agreement with this statement.

Zhang Ran nodded and said, "Indeed, this is your company's affair, so let's put that aside for now; I will speak about other matters first."

As he spoke, Zhang Ran looked at the two people he had heard maliciously slandering Siyan when he walked in.

"Does your company like to hire people like this? Gossiping behind people's backs and spewing filth—is this what you call company executives? If that's the case, then I really don't want my daughter to join your company." Zhang Ran stared tightly at those two.

"This gentleman, I don't know what they said; perhaps there was something inappropriate. I apologize to you on their behalf here, but that is not a reason for you to slander our company like this," someone stood up and said.

This was also the effect of Rahama's attitude just now; otherwise, these people probably would have lost their patience by now and likely would have directly had someone kick Zhang Ran out.

Zhang Ran heard this person's words and actually didn't say anything, just glanced indifferently at those two, then turned back to the main topic.

"I understand what you mean, too. In any case, you just don't accept my daughter being the person in charge of this project, right?" Zhang Ran said.

"It's not that we don't accept it, but that your daughter, Miss Zhang, truly does not have the ability," someone retorted stiffly. Zhang Ran's attitude made them very unhappy, and they were already being particularly restrained.

Zhang Ran didn't care about his attitude; hearing this, he smiled and said, "Alright then, my daughter won't be this person in charge anymore. That's it, you all disperse; today ends here."

"This gentleman, what do you mean by this?" Someone frowned; why did Zhang Ran seem to be shooing them away like flies?

"What else could it mean? Prince Haiman will not cooperate with your Kangshilan," Zhang Ran said flatly.

"Mr. Rahama?" Someone looked at Rahama.

Rahama stood up and said with a serious expression, "In business, Mr. Zhang can fully represent our Prince. Mr. Zhang's decision is the decision of His Highness the Prince."

Once these words were out, the crowd could no longer control their expressions; this was simply too absurd for them.

"Mr. Rahama, you must be responsible for your words!"

"Of course, I am very certain of this point," Rahama replied calmly.

At this moment, from Rahama's words, everyone fully understood: this time, as long as Siyan was not the one serving as the project lead, then Prince Haiman's side would not cooperate with them.
