Zhang Ran could only sigh inwardly; to this day, he had not yet straightened out the relationships here in the Huaxia internet sector, which was the area that had changed the most over these years.

Just as Zhang Ran was thinking about this, Sicheng finished recounting his understanding of the Weiteng Group and then looked at Zhang Ran with an expectant expression.

What could Zhang Ran do? He could only praise him: "Not bad, this proves that you have indeed done very well during this period. What are your own thoughts? Sell or not sell?"

Zhang Ran looked at Sicheng very seriously at the end; this would determine whether Sicheng would head toward a path of management or become a wealthy man of leisure in the future.

Sicheng did not know this; he rubbed his head, chuckled twice, and said: "I'm not stupid. It's only just getting started now, so I won't sell."

"Besides, I really like the gaming industry, so I don't plan to sell for the time being. I'm just talking with Weiteng and the others to understand our current value and also to give the employees some confidence."

Hearing him say this, Zhang Ran nodded and said: "Since you have already decided, then proceed according to your own ideas."

"The reason I told you all this is actually because I wanted you to help me ask for Ming Xuan's opinion; after all, he also has shares in our company," Sicheng said.

"You can just ask him that yourself. If he wants to sell, you can pay to buy him out. If you don't have the money, I have some here," Zhang Ran said nonchalantly.

In fact, Zhang Ran knew that Meng Mingxuan would not sell; he just wanted Sicheng and Meng Mingxuan to communicate more.

"By the way, how is He Qing doing at your company?" Zhang Ran suddenly asked.

Sicheng said: "Very well. She is very hardworking, and she should have a pretty good grasp of the company's financial status by now."

"Hmm, you should evaluate her in a while to see what her current level is," Zhang Ran said.

Although Sicheng did not know what Zhang Ran meant by this, he still agreed. He also knew that He Qing was He Yong's daughter, so he usually took good care of her.

After chatting and finishing their meal, Zhang Ran was pulled away to play by the two little ones. The two little ones really missed him and didn't want to leave his side for even a moment now.

"Grandpa, look at how I perform this Drunken Fist. Is it cool?" Zhang Xiaotao asked, panting for breath.

Just now, the little guy Taotao had performed a set of "Drunken Fist" he created himself in front of Zhang Ran, which made Zhang Ran beam with joy.

"Very good, Taotao is truly amazing!" Zhang Ran was very supportive.

"Haha, I knew it, I am the most amazing." Upon hearing his grandfather say this, Zhang Xiaotao immediately put his hands on his hips and laughed.

Susu was also very supportive: "Brother Taotao is the most amazing."

Zhang Ran pretended to be unhappy and said to Susu: "Then what about Grandpa?"

"Grandpa is even more amazing than Brother Taotao." The little girl Susu immediately switched sides.

Watching Zhang Ran playing with the two little ones, Liu Lu, who was not working today, also watched with a smile from the side.

"Xiao Lu, do you have any thoughts about your current job? I don't mean anything else, just asking," Zhang Ran said to Liu Lu.

Now that Sicheng and Siyan both had jobs, if Liu Lu also wanted to become a career woman, Zhang Ran was willing to support her.

This was also the promise Zhang Ran had made to Liu Lu back then; their Zhang Family would absolutely not let Liu Lu down.

Liu Lu hadn't thought that much; she just pondered for a moment and said: "I feel that working at the hospital is quite good, and I'm not tired right now. If I didn't work, I wouldn't know what to do."

"My meaning is, do you want to change to a different job, just like Sicheng and Siyan?" Zhang Ran had to remind her; he realized that Liu Lu hadn't thought in that direction at all.

Hearing Zhang Ran's words, Liu Lu didn't react immediately. What did this mean?

"What do you mean?" Liu Lu asked hesitantly.

"If you are willing, I can also help you open a company. You can also start a business and do some things you like to do," Zhang Ran spelled it out.

After Liu Lu understood Zhang Ran's meaning, she quickly waved her hands and said: "No, no, I can't start a business. I can't even do my own job well, so how could I start a business?"

"Thank you, Dad, but I really like my current job. And I don't know how to manage a company. If you let me start a business, it would be nothing more than throwing money into the water; it wouldn't have any other effect."

Zhang Ran said: "Management can be learned; that's not a problem. Didn't Sicheng also know nothing before? Now he manages a company quite well."

Liu Lu still refused: "Dad, it's really different. I know you are doing this for my own good, but I am still used to my current job and life."

Seeing Liu Lu refuse repeatedly, Zhang Ran didn't say anything more, but he still said one last thing: "If you have any thoughts in the future, just tell me directly."

"Thank you, Dad."

Seeing that Zhang Ran was free, He Yong walked over.

"Brother Zhang, Huzi said that he hasn't been in contact with those people from back then either. Do you think I should go look for them?" He Yong asked with some hesitation.

Zhang Ran took a light sip of tea and said: "Why look for them? Although what they did back then wasn't very honorable, doing so could be considered self-preservation. There's no need to pursue it after the fact; let's consider it as honoring the past relationship."

"But they betrayed you in the end. If we don't pursue it, I'm afraid others will harbor such thoughts in the future," He Yong said, a flash of murderous intent appearing in his eyes.

In fact, the person who cared most about this matter was not Zhang Ran, but He Yong. These people could be said to have been his subordinates back then, yet such a thing happened. He Yong had actually always blamed himself, and it was also a thorn in his heart.

It was just that he had been following Zhang Ran during this time, and since Zhang Ran didn't say anything, he had been enduring it.

It wasn't until he saw Zhao Hu that He Yong remembered this matter again.

In fact, it was fortunate that Zhao Hu and those people ran fast back then, and afterwards, they all disappeared without a trace. Otherwise, He Yong would likely have hunted them down one by one. Given He Yong's mood at the time, it would have been hard to say what the outcome would have been.

Zhang Ran looked at He Yong, feeling a bit of emotion in his heart. Many people said that He Yong was lucky to have met him, Zhang Ran, and He Yong himself thought so too.

But wasn't it also a stroke of luck for Zhang Ran to have met someone like He Yong?

"Dayong, the times are different now. Fighting and killing can no longer solve problems. Besides, you are a father now; you need to consider He Qing more," Zhang Ran said.

"But..." He Yong was still somewhat unwilling; in his heart, anyone who betrayed Zhang Ran deserved to die.

Zhang Ran waved his hand and said with a smile: "I also know your concerns, but aren't you still here? With you by my side keeping watch, what do I have to fear?"

"But Brother Zhang, I am already old. I suppose some things will need new people to do in the future," He Yong said in a low voice. This was his worry: he was old, but Zhang Ran was not. He was afraid that when he was no longer around, similar things would happen around Zhang Ran again.

Zhang Ran said with a smile: "Who says you're old? Don't worry, you're not old. And with you watching by my side, there's nothing I'm worried about."

"By the way, regarding finding those people, I do actually need to find them. I need to find out who tipped you off back then; that needs to be uncovered, and then we'll see if we can repay them. But let's just let this matter take its course for now; after these things pass, we'll look for them slowly," Zhang Ran said at last.
