Tian Yaohui listened to Hao Yuan's report, his expression shifting uncertainly, before finally snorting coldly, "That trash Huo Li!"

Hao Yuan stood by obediently; he would not express his opinions on such matters.

"So, you're saying Huo Zhiyuan has already woken up? And that Zhang Ran and Huo Zhiyuan have met?" Tian Yaohui asked, suppressing the emotions in his heart.

Hao Yuan said in a low voice, "Yes, this matter was likely resolved by Zhang Ran as well, and there is something you might not know yet: who Huo Li went to for help."

"Who?"

"Zhao Hu, one of the bodyguards who used to work for Boss Zhang back in the day," Hao Yuan said.

After hearing this, Tian Yaohui couldn't help but laugh in anger; that guy Huo Li really knew how to pick people, actually going straight to someone who used to be by Zhang Ran's side.

However, Tian Yaohui asked with some curiosity at this moment: "What was the final outcome for Zhao Hu? Did Zhang Ran take action against him?"

Hao Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I don't think so, and it seems Zhao Hu is still working for Zhang Ran now."

In truth, Hao Yuan was also a bit puzzled, puzzled that Zhang Ran could be so magnanimous, and at the same time, some strange thoughts arose in his heart, though he quickly suppressed them.

Tian Yaohui was also somewhat surprised, but he quickly thought of other things, "By the way, how is Su Yu doing now? Has she left?"

"Su Yu won't leave; no matter what I say, she won't leave. However, I have instructed her to just say she encountered Huo Li by chance and wanted to use that information to make a little money." Hao Yuan was also somewhat helpless, but at the same time, he could understand; after all, not everyone has the courage to leave their hometown.

Besides, no matter how you look at it, Su Yu only sold a piece of information. Since things had already reached this point and she couldn't get into a big company, the outcome would be the same anyway, and it was impossible for Huo Zhiyuan to go too far over such a small matter.

Tian Yaohui's eyes flickered as he looked at Hao Yuan, but in the end, he said nothing. After all, not everyone had the courage to make the same choice as Zhao Hu, especially at a time when they could already be considered successful.

When Zhao Hu made that choice back then, Zhang Ran was part of the reason, but a bigger reason was He Yong, who was watching like a tiger from the sidelines.

"Alright, let this matter end here. I want to see what kind of confidence Zhang Ran has to say such things," Tian Yaohui said, taking a deep breath.

Originally, he had thought about using the Kangshilan Group matter to stall Zhang Ran, but he hadn't expected things to go so poorly.

It seems now that these petty tricks won't have much effect.

"By the way, what does Weiteng Group say?" Tian Yaohui suddenly thought of something. He wanted to cause trouble for Zhang Ran and give him things to do so he wouldn't be staring at him, Tian Yaohui, all day long, so he had made several preparations.

"They have already begun the process of acquiring Biaoxue Company. If Biaoxue does not agree to the acquisition, they will engage in some commercial competition," Hao Yuan said.

This matter really wasn't orchestrated by Tian Yaohui; he could only be considered a catalyst. After all, Weiteng Group wasn't something he could interfere with just because he wanted to.

"Forget it, I don't expect them to succeed. Be careful during this period," Tian Yaohui finally instructed.

Matters regarding Huo Zhiyuan were proceeding rapidly following Zhang Ran's departure, with everyone involved being caught one by one and sent to prison.

With things having reached this point for Huo Li and Sun Guilan, they didn't hide anything and confessed everyone involved.

As for Kangshilan Group, aside from Huo Jiaxiong being taken away, everything else seemed unchanged.

Of course, this was only on the surface; there were actually many changes happening behind the scenes.

There were mainly two aspects: one was that everyone in the company knew that two new rising stars had appeared in Kangshilan Group!

One was Project Manager Siyan, who was in charge of a major project and reported directly to Huo Zhiyuan. The power in her hands was immense, and it was rumored that her background was even more terrifying!

Moreover, this project was single-handedly brought about by Siyan. Of course, that was the company's narrative, and in truth, it wasn't wrong; after all, Zhang Ran was Siyan's father, so Zhang Ran's contributions could also be counted as Siyan's.

In this project, Siyan not only held the power over finances but also had complete control over personnel.

Many people had actually raised objections, but they were directly ignored by Huo Zhiyuan. Now everyone understood that Huo Zhiyuan was supporting Siyan unconditionally; to go against Siyan was to go against Huo Zhiyuan.

The other matter also concerned Siyan: her best friend, Qian Li. After Huo Li was arrested, all the sales channels in his hands were taken back.

Originally, some people had harbored thoughts, but they didn't expect Huo Zhiyuan to hand these channels over to Qian Li entirely.

With the two major agency channels in Su Province and Shanghai, Qian Li leaped from being a small channel distributor to becoming the largest agent for Kangshilan Group!

Qian Li had also been somewhat dazed these past few days; she never imagined that she would reach this point without even realizing it.

It was indeed without realizing it, because she hadn't done anything at all; she had just been doing her own work honestly, and then she was notified that all the agencies in Shanghai and Su Province had been handed over to her.

Now, there was no telling how many people envied Qian Li for having such a good best friend; everyone knew that all of this for Qian Li was because of Siyan.

However, they probably hadn't thought about what Qian Li did when Siyan was at her most difficult time.

Another aspect was the internal shareholder structure. Huo Li had also confessed to some verbal agreements he had made privately with certain shareholders. Huo Zhiyuan took this opportunity to begin buying back some shares while simultaneously changing the structure of the board of directors.

As for Zhang Ran, he had returned to his normal rhythm of life, leaving other matters for people like Ming Xuan to handle.

Every day, he would pick up and drop off the children at school, drink tea, chat, and occasionally go find some old men to play chess with; he seemed to have truly become an old man.

On this day, just after Zhang Ran had finished dropping off the two children at school and returned, he saw things being moved into the house next door.

"Are there new neighbors moving in?" Zhang Ran stopped to watch with curiosity.

They had known the day before yesterday that the house next door had been sold, but he hadn't expected the new neighbors to move in so impatiently.

Zhang Ran wondered if he should go over and say hello. The previous neighbors had only nodded when they met, which made Zhang Ran, who was used to visiting neighbors from time to time, feel a bit uncomfortable. So, he thought he would take advantage of them just moving in to show some goodwill early on, so they could chat more often in the future.

However, when a person walked out of the house, Zhang Ran knew he had overthought it; there was no need for him to say hello at all.

"Brother Zhang!" Huo Zhiyuan waved and greeted him with an excited smile on her face.

Zhang Ran walked over and asked curiously: "You bought this house? What's wrong? Are you not used to living in the villa?"
