Chapter 161: 158. Seeking Revenge for the Slightest Grievance (Bonus for 1000 Monthly Votes!)

Everyone suddenly felt like they were in an awkward position; this was forcing them to agree to Zhang Siyan becoming the project lead.

However, some were so angry they wanted to turn and leave; they could not endure such grievances.

But just as they stood up, Zhang Ran spoke again, "Oh right, I forgot to tell you all. From the moment you leave this room, we will cease all cooperation with you."

Zhang Ran was now blatantly threatening them, and everyone could hear it; Zhang Ran's words meant much more than just a simple end to cooperation.

It meant that if they did not agree, then Kangshilan Company would suffer commercial strikes from Prince Haiman in Europe for some time to come.

Those who had been preparing to stand up sat back down; although they were furious, they truly did not dare to leave.

It could be seen from the fact that Rahama did not show the slightest intention of stopping Zhang Ran after he said this that Zhang Ran really had the authority to make this call.

They did not dare to take that risk. It was true that they represented different interest groups within Kangshilan Company, but they shared one common goal: the development of Kangshilan Company.

Once such consequences actually occurred because they left, someone would definitely have to take the blame, and that person would most likely be the one who led the way out.

They then looked at Zhao Jingyu and found that the assistant's expression was very calm, as if she hadn't heard Zhang Ran's words at all.

Being watched by these people, Zhao Jingyu felt helpless; she knew Zhang Ran was just trying to scare them and that he wouldn't actually do such a thing.

However, Zhao Jingyu could tell that even though Zhang Ran and Huo Zhiyuan hadn't exchanged a word, they both seemed to understand what the other was about to do.

Seeing that Zhao Jingyu had no reaction, everyone turned their gazes back to Zhang Siyan.

They never imagined this young girl had such a powerful background. Although they didn't know Zhang Ran, they could tell from his demeanor since entering and the words he spoke that he was definitely not simple.

At the same time, these people felt a bit helpless: with such a formidable father, why come to our company? To steal our jobs?

Zhang Siyan was also a bit stunned at this moment; she hadn't expected her father to be so overbearing, suppressing the company executives in the room to the point where they didn't dare say another word.

Zhang Ran actually knew the downsides of doing this; it would make it difficult for Zhang Siyan to build good relationships within Kangshilan.

But there was also a benefit: after this, whenever these people wanted to cause trouble for Zhang Siyan in the future, they would have to think twice about the consequences.

As for relationships?

Zhang Ran didn't care about that at all.

Zhang Siyan didn't go there to build relationships, but to hone her abilities; that was the main point.

Although relationships were part of one's ability, those could come slowly later; once Zhang Siyan achieved results, the relationships would naturally follow.

"Siyan, didn't you have some things left to explain? Continue," Zhang Ran said to Zhang Siyan.

Zhang Siyan hadn't fully recovered yet, but she subconsciously followed Zhang Ran's arrangement and began her presentation.

This time, everyone listened half-heartedly, but no one dared to interrupt.

After Zhang Siyan finished, Zhang Ran looked at the group again and said, "Alright, does anyone have any objections to the project arrangements for Zhang Siyan?"

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

No one spoke; they just looked at Zhang Ran quietly, wanting to express their dissatisfaction in this way.

"Since there are none, then it is decided. Assistant Zhao, inform President Huo," Zhang Ran said.

Zhao Jingyu hurriedly said, "Understood."

She immediately made a phone call and confirmed Zhang Siyan's status as the project lead on the spot.

Less than half an hour had passed since Zhang Ran entered, and the matter had been resolved with such swift, decisive action.

Although many were unconvinced, they had no choice but to accept it now.

"Since the matter is settled, everyone can disperse," Zhang Ran said with a wave of his hand.

Only then did everyone dare to stand up and leave, though their expressions were all quite stifled.

But the next moment, they heard Zhang Ran's voice again, "As for those two from earlier, I hope your Kangshilan can fire them. After all, such people are like a piece of rat dung in the company—no, two pieces of rat dung."

Zhang Ran was not a magnanimous person; since they dared to speak of his daughter that way, they had to endure his retaliation.

He, Zhang Ran, hadn't even been able to bring himself to say a harsh word to his daughter!

Upon hearing Zhang Ran's words, the two men's faces turned extremely ugly; they hadn't expected that just two malicious jokes would bring them such great trouble.

"Mr. Zhang, this is an internal company matter; we have no authority to make that decision," someone said, unable to hold back any longer, their voice filled with anger.

Ever since Zhang Ran entered the room, they had felt terrible, a sense of extreme stifling.

Zhang Ran glanced at him indifferently and said, "Of course, I didn't expect you to make the decision. Go back and tell all the shareholders of Kangshilan: as long as those two are in the company for one day, our cooperation will be suspended for one day, until they leave Kangshilan."

Once these words were out, the others fell silent. They realized now that this man had a character that would seek revenge for the slightest grievance, and no one wanted to invite trouble upon themselves.

However, some were secretly happy; those two were the henchmen of a shareholder and often bullied others, with no filter on their mouths. Having such an end was what they deserved.

As for refusing Zhang Ran?

They hadn't even considered it; the interests involved were simply too great. Even if those two were the biological sons of that shareholder, they had to go at this time.

After they had all left, Qian Li jumped up excitedly, "Zhang Shu, you were so cool!"

"Is that so? Haha, I also felt I was quite cool just now!" Zhang Ran said with a smile, completely losing his previous serious and stern demeanor.

After chatting with them for a while longer, Zhang Ran prepared to leave. He had already set the stage for Zhang Siyan; the rest depended on her own efforts.

However, as he walked past Zhao Jingyu, Zhang Ran suddenly said, "The little girl from back then has grown up; she can even scheme against me now."

How could he not see now that this entire situation was orchestrated by Huo Zhiyuan?

Hearing this, Zhao Jingyu felt a sudden rush of anxiety and wanted to explain, but she immediately noticed that Zhang Ran's face didn't show anger; instead, there was a faint smile, appearing somewhat satisfied yet helpless.

In any case, it was not the feeling of resentment one would have after being schemed against.
