Chapter 187: 184. Susu Missing Grandpa

~7 min read 1,326 words

Zhang Ran's mobile phone suddenly rang. After glancing at the caller ID, Zhang Ran immediately answered it in a hurry.

"Hello, Susu, are you missing Grandpa?" Susu and Taotao both have their own phone watches.

The people in the room looked at the smiling Zhang Ran, and for a moment, they were almost unable to snap out of it. Was this really the same imposing big shot from just a moment ago?

Susu said with a hint of grievance on the other end of the line: "Grandpa, are you not wanting me anymore?"

"How could that be? Grandpa loves Susu the most." Zhang Ran became anxious the moment he heard this.

Susu's tone remained very aggrieved, "But... but Grandpa hasn't come back for such a long, long time. I miss Grandpa."

"Grandpa is coming back right now, coming back immediately." Zhang Ran said as soon as he heard this, his face carrying a trace of urgency.

Clearly, the little one's words had an unusually high lethality for him.

Zhang Siyan, standing to the side, felt a little jealous listening to this. She hadn't gone back these past few days either; why hadn't she seen Susu call her?

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ran saw that the matter had been dealt with. He thought for a moment and said: "You just woke up, get some good rest. I'm going back first to see the two children. Also, investigate that matter regarding Su Yu clearly. You can just hand that over to Zhao Hu to do later."

"Also, for this recent period, prepare some funds as a reserve. I might need them in a while."

"Additionally, find some professional personnel. Let Meng He talk to you about this later. Hand all these people over to Ming Xuan."

Zhang Ran hurriedly gave instructions for everything. Since Huo Zhiyuan had already indicated her stance, Zhang Ran wouldn't stand on ceremony with her; whatever she needed to prepare, he would let her do it.

Hearing these words from Zhang Ran, Huo Zhiyuan revealed a smile on her face and said: "I understand. I will have these prepared as soon as possible. Brother Zhang, go ahead and get busy. I will be finished here very soon too."

Zhang Ran didn't say anything more and hurried away at a jog. Susu missed Grandpa, and Zhang Ran missed Susu too.

Especially that aggrieved little tone the child had used just now, which had struck the softest part of Zhang Ran's heart.

After Zhang Ran and Zhang Siyan left, Huo Zhiyuan began to ask Meng He about the specific matters. Meng He did not hide anything at this time and explained what Zhang Ran was going to do next.

Huo Zhiyuan didn't feel much, but Zhao Jingyu and Meng Zixuan, who were hearing this for the first time, were both a bit dazed. Tian Yaohui's Yaotian Pharmaceutical was also Zhang Ran's?

Meng Zixuan felt that the guess she had previously dismissed seemed to be true?

As for Huo Xin, she didn't understand the situation at all. After starting university, she rarely came back and didn't care about domestic affairs.

After Zhang Ran arrived outside, Zhao Hu had already handed the people over to the police. Seeing Zhang Ran and the others come out, he hurried forward.

Zhang Ran looked at him and said: "You go find Huo Zhiyuan first. Listen to her arrangements during this time."

After saying this, Zhang Ran got into the car, prepared to leave. Zhao Hu was first a bit bewildered, then looked at He Yong, who was deliberately slowing down, and asked: "Yong Ge, what does Brother Zhang mean by this? He's not holding me accountable anymore?"

He Yong said: "What do you think? Your performance just now has already made Brother Zhang forgive you. You kid are lucky. Also, remember, the old rules: just do the work, don't ask for the reasons. If I find out you're asking around blindly, don't blame me for being impolite."

Hearing this, Zhao Hu was overjoyed, and the stone in his heart finally landed. "Yong Ge, don't worry, I absolutely won't ask around blindly. Thank you, Yong Ge."

"Don't thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Brother Zhang," He Yong said.

At this time, at the Kangshilan Headquarters, Huo Jiaxiong sat in his seat, the corners of his mouth slightly raised; he was clearly in a good mood.

After learning about the situation on Huo Li's side, he had already prepared himself to become the heir to Kangshilan.

Or rather, he had been prepared for over a dozen years, because Sun Guilan and Huo Li had both been instilling this concept in him.

When he learned that Huo Li planned to do this, he was also startled, but when he found out about Huo Zhiyuan's will, he quickly made up his mind.

According to Huo Li's plan, it shouldn't take a month before they could use their status as relatives to 'help' Huo Zhiyuan manage the shares.

Of course, things weren't that simple; there was still obstruction from other shareholders, but these only required paying some benefits. They had considered this long ago.

Some of the female employees on the side looked at Huo Jiaxiong with affectionate gazes. This was Huo Zhiyuan's own nephew, so many female employees were thinking about whether they could hook up with Huo Jiaxiong.

Moreover, Huo Jiaxiong looked refined and courteous, and he was very kind to people in the company, so some female employees liked him quite a bit.

Just as Huo Jiaxiong was feeling smug and starting to fantasize about himself controlling Kangshilan, two police officers walked over.

"Are you Huo Jiaxiong?" one of the police officers asked.

When Huo Jiaxiong saw the police, his heart skipped a beat, but he quickly returned to normal. With a warm smile on his face, he said: "I am Huo Jiaxiong. May I ask what the matter is, Officer?"

Looking at Huo Jiaxiong's appearance, the two police officers were also a bit stunned in their hearts; truly, one cannot judge a book by its cover.

"Huo Jiaxiong, you are involved in a criminal case. Please come with us," one of the police officers said.

Huo Jiaxiong was instantly stunned. "Officer, have you made a mistake?" a Supervisor who had brought them over said.

"No mistake. It was your President Huo who reported the case personally," the police officer said and then stopped talking. They had been instructed when they came that this matter should not be publicized.

Huo Jiaxiong was taken away looking like a fool. He had just been dreaming about managing Kangshilan, and now he was about to become a prisoner.

When Zhang Ran returned to his home, he saw the two little ones sitting side by side at the garden gate, their chins resting on their hands, looking toward this direction.

As soon as they saw Zhang Ran return, the two little ones immediately jumped up and ran toward him at full speed.

"Grandpa, Grandpa." Without a doubt, this was Zhang Xiaotao's voice.

"Grandpa!" Susu also called out eagerly.

Zhang Ran then took two quick steps, gathered the two little ones into his arms, and kissed each of them on their cheeks.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Siyan felt a bit sour in her heart. She, the mother, had arrived, and this little ungrateful child hadn't seen her?

"Auntie."

"Mommy."

Just as Zhang Siyan was thinking these sour thoughts, the two little ones finally saw her and ran over to ask for a hug.

This immediately made Zhang Siyan cast her previous thoughts to the back of her mind, and she hugged the two little ones with a beaming smile.

Zhang Ran watched this scene happily. After they had been clingy for a while, he said: "Let's go, let's go inside. Taotao, has your mommy cooked yet?"

"It's already done, we were just waiting for Grandpa to come back to eat," Taotao said loudly.
