Chapter 256: 252. Warm Daily Life (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)
After Zhang Siyan called out that "Dad," the atmosphere at the dining table became lively once again.
Zhang Ran looked at Zhang Sicheng's somewhat conflicted expression and took the initiative to say to him, "Sicheng, do you have any thoughts regarding the pharmaceutical company?"
As soon as he said this, the others instantly understood his meaning; he was going to hand Dasheng Pharmaceutical over to Zhang Sicheng!
Zhang Sicheng was also very tempted, but he quickly shook his head and said, "No thoughts. I am a complete layman when it comes to the pharmaceutical industry, perhaps not even a layman.
Besides, I am already struggling just managing a small company like Biaoxue; I simply don't have the ability.
I also don't really like this industry; I still prefer the gaming industry."
Zhang Ran didn't actually need to guess to know Zhang Sicheng's thoughts; he asked only to keep Zhang Sicheng from overthinking.
When Zhang Ran turned his gaze toward Zhang Siyan, before he could even speak, Zhang Siyan's head began to shake like a rattle, "I don't want it either; I feel like I'm doing just fine right now."
It seemed that because Zhang Siyan had truly let go of the knot in her heart, she began to show a daughterly side in front of Zhang Ran; for instance, the head-shaking gesture just now was something the old Zhang Siyan would never have done in front of him.
Although the old Zhang Siyan was very respectful and polite to Zhang Ran, she lacked the kind of coquettish behavior a daughter shows her father.
Qian Li, standing to the side, was speechless; what kind of people were this family?
This was a hundred-billion-level group; although it didn't entirely belong to their family, if others saw them acting so "disdainful" one by one, who knows what they would think.
Seeing Zhang Siyan like this, Zhang Ran didn't say anything more. Zhang Siyan still didn't know she was already the heir to Kangshilan, and once she had the ability to manage the entire company, Huo Zhiyuan would directly abdicate to her.
Moreover, today's events would also put more pressure on both Zhang Siyan and Zhang Sicheng, after all, there was a hundred-billion-level group right here.
These were all things belonging to the Zhang Family, and they also knew that Zhang Ran wanted to leave these things to them, it was just that they lacked the ability.
After finishing the meal, Zhang Ran didn't go to rest; firstly, because he was very happy and excited, and couldn't sleep at all.
Secondly, because the two little ones, Susu and Taotao, kept pestering him, following him wherever he went.
Even when Liu Lu scolded them, it was useless; even if they were crying, they insisted on staying by Zhang Ran's side.
Zhang Siyan didn't go to work today, and instead, just like Susu and Taotao, she followed Zhang Ran around like a little tail.
"Dad, let me tell you, you don't know how funny the people in the company actually are. You know that little girl in our project team? She..."
At this moment, Zhang Siyan was like a real little girl, recounting all the interesting things she had seen to Zhang Ran.
At this time, she wished she could tell Zhang Ran every interesting thing she had ever encountered in her life, as if to make up for the parts that had been missing before.
Zhang Ran also listened happily from the side, occasionally adding a comment, which made Zhang Siyan laugh even more heartily.
Zhang Siyan suddenly walked to the edge of the garden, plucked a small flower from the bushes, wore it on her ear, and said to Zhang Ran with a grin, "Dad, look, do I look good wearing this flower?"
Seeing this rare and exotic flower plucked by his daughter, Zhang Ran didn't feel pained at all and praised her, "Of course, my daughter is a little fairy from heaven; you look the best."
Having let go of her inner knot, Zhang Siyan was now truly showing the appearance of a daughter in front of her father.
"Grandpa, what about me, what about me?" Susu, hearing Zhang Ran's words, said hurriedly; the little girl started getting jealous of her mother.
Zhang Ran laughed and picked up Susu, kissed her tender, fair little cheek, and said, "Of course our Susu is also a little fairy; one is a big fairy, and one is a little fairy."
"Then Grandpa, I want a flower too." Susu bit her little finger and looked longingly at the flower on her mother's ear.
Although Liu Lu didn't know the rarity of the flowers and plants in their home, she saw that Zhang Ran was always extremely careful whenever he took care of them.
And Liu Lu clearly remembered that the last time Prince Haiman swept their home's flowers and plants clean, Zhang Ran had scolded Prince Haiman for an entire day; Liu Lu had seen that pained look clearly.
She knew the relationship between Zhang Ran and Prince Haiman very well, and since Zhang Ran was never a stingy person, he usually strictly forbade the little ones from getting close to these flowers and plants, let alone picking them like Zhang Siyan did.
Zhang Xiaotao had intended to "commit a crime" because his sister wanted a flower, but he was discovered by Liu Lu just as he started, followed by a "beating" that had Zhang Xiaotao crying for his parents.
However, this also made the little ones afraid to have any crooked ideas about these flowers and plants. Now that Susu saw her mother had picked one, she got a little idea.
Facing the change in Susu, Zhang Ran was the happiest in his heart.
He still remembered the first time he saw the little one Susu; that seemingly cold but internally fragile and sensitive little appearance had made his heart ache terribly.
Fortunately, after such a long time, Susu had finally become a bit more cheerful because of Taotao and the two brothers, Auston.
"Of course you can. Whatever Susu wants, Grandpa will pick it for you," Zhang Ran said with a wave of his hand.
"I want this one." Susu had long been eyeing one of the flowers, and hearing Grandpa say this, she pointed with her excited little hand.
Zhang Ran didn't say a word, directly plucked the little flower Susu had set her sights on, removed the thorns and such, and gently placed it on Susu's delicate little ear.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, do I look good?" Susu hurriedly got down from Grandpa's arms and stood in front of him, asking with anticipation.
How could Zhang Ran let his precious one down? He said quickly and sincerely, "Of course, baby Susu is the cutest little fairy."
"Giggle, giggle." Susu immediately giggled, clearly very proud.
"Hmph, Mom is the best-looking one." Zhang Siyan was also very happy to see Susu like this; thinking she hadn't interacted with her daughter for a while, she felt playful and started teasing her daughter.
"No, no, Grandpa said Susu is the best-looking, Mom is lying." Susu immediately protested.
Zhang Siyan's playfulness was piqued, "Then let's ask Grandpa to say who is the best-looking."
As she said this, both the big one and the small one looked at Zhang Ran. Zhang Ran suddenly felt his head was huge; one was his daughter who had just untied her heart's knot and was working hard to improve their father-daughter relationship, and the other was his precious granddaughter. What could he do?
"Ahem, I remember I forgot something earlier; I'll go look for it." Zhang Ran pretended to be looking for something and quickly left.
Watching Zhang Ran's retreating back, Zhang Siyan laughed even more happily. Susu didn't know what her mother was laughing at, but seeing her mother happy, she was happy too.
