Chapter 278: 274. Preparing to Depart (Seeking subscriptions, seeking monthly tickets!)

Meng Mingxuan and Meng Zixuan both stared blankly at Zhang Ran. In the past, Meng Mingxuan thought his old man was devoted to Zhang Ran because of Zhang Ran's abilities, and because there was always a feeling of doing big things when following Zhang Ran.

But now, Meng Mingxuan realized that Zhang Ran's true personal charisma did not come from his visionary foresight, nor from the glorious achievements he had made back in the day, but from the person that Zhang Ran was.

Following such a person is truly reassuring and relaxing, because even if you don't consider things for yourself, he is considering them for you. How could one not feel at ease following such a person?

After staying for dinner, Meng He and the others left to start preparing for Zhang Ran's upcoming plan. In fact, as early as when Zhang Ran returned and they were talking in the hotel, Meng He had already done quite a few things according to Zhang Ran's instructions.

It was just that the impact of this matter was now truly too great—so great that once it succeeded, it would immediately cause a sensation throughout the entire business world.

Meanwhile, Zhang Ran seemed to have returned to his daily state of having nothing to do, picking up and dropping off the two children at school, and taking them to places like amusement parks to play from time to time.

He also chatted about relaxing topics with Sicheng and the others every day, and the days just passed by like that.

"Taotao, how did the test go? Did you run into any difficult problems?" Zhang Ran held Susu's little hand while waiting at the elementary school gate, and went over to ask when he saw Zhang Xiaotao come out.

At this moment, Zhang Ran was just like an ordinary parent, concerned about his child's academic performance.

Zhang Xiaotao said with great confidence, "Grandpa, I knew how to do everything. This time, it's definitely first place!"

"Brother is so amazing!" Susu said, giving him face.

Praised by his younger sister, Zhang Xiaotao immediately lifted his little head. Zhang Ran smiled and patted his little head, "Grandpa knows Taotao is very amazing, but don't be arrogant; you must remain humble."

"Mm, I won't be arrogant. The teacher said that arrogance makes people regress," Zhang Xiaotao said earnestly.

In fact, he still didn't quite understand the true meaning of the word "arrogant"; he was just able to remember some of the things his teachers and parents said.

To celebrate Zhang Xiaotao finishing his exams, Zhang Ran took the two little ones to have a proper "big meal." This kind of "big meal" was what children liked most, but it was also the kind of thing parents were unwilling to let their children eat too much of.

Kangshilan Company.

After finishing the company's business, Huo Zhiyuan stretched and called Zhao Jingyu in.

Seeing Huo Zhiyuan, whose complexion was becoming increasingly rosy and whose skin had even improved, Zhao Jingyu said with some envy, "Sister, your skin is really getting better and better."

Upon hearing this, Huo Zhiyuan said happily, "Really?"

"Of course it's true," Zhao Jingyu said very earnestly.

Huo Zhiyuan then pretended not to care and said, "I'm getting old; my skin has long been unable to compare to you young people."

"Who says you're old, Sister? Based on your current condition, if you went out and said you were twenty, no one would object," said Zhao Jingyu.

Huo Zhiyuan appeared not to care much, but her eyes, which had curved into crescents, betrayed her.

In fact, she also felt that her skin had improved a lot recently, but sometimes she just wasn't sure.

"Alright, stop buttering me up. I have something for you to do this time," said Huo Zhiyuan.

Zhao Jingyu immediately became serious, "Boss Huo, please tell me."

Huo Zhiyuan said, "I am going to be away for a while. During this time, all matters within the company will be temporarily handed over to you to handle. If you encounter anything you cannot handle, call me again."

Zhao Jingyu did not expect Huo Zhiyuan to make such a decision. Her mouth hung open in surprise, and when she finally came to her senses, she hurriedly said, "Boss Huo, I can't do it; I don't have that ability."

Although Zhao Jingyu was very tempted, she felt even more nervous and apprehensive.

Huo Zhiyuan waved her hand and said, "How do you know you can't if you haven't tried? I know your ability; it is completely sufficient to handle some matters. For big issues, you can just come to me directly."

"Also, how has your relationship with Siyan been recently?" Huo Zhiyuan asked.

Zhao Jingyu said, "I get along quite well with Miss Zhang. Miss Zhang is very easy to talk to and has a good personality."

"Compared to Qian Li?" Huo Zhiyuan asked again.

"Uh..." Zhao Jingyu didn't know how to answer. This didn't even need to be asked; in Zhang Siyan's heart, the gap in status between her and Qian Li was not small at all.

Huo Zhiyuan also knew this would be the result, but she sighed slightly in her heart.

Compared to Qian Li, she naturally hoped that Zhao Jingyu could follow by Zhang Siyan's side, but judging from the current results, there was no way Zhao Jingyu could replace Qian Li's position.

"Alright, that's it. Go and prepare," said Huo Zhiyuan.

Zhao Jingyu bowed deeply to Huo Zhiyuan and said, "Thank you, Sister!"

She now understood that Huo Zhiyuan was completely paving the way for her. The company would be handed over to Zhang Siyan in the future, and compared to Qian Li, her relationship with Zhang Siyan was far inferior, so Huo Zhiyuan could only add points for her in terms of ability.

"No need to thank me; this is what you deserve. Come to think of it, it's also a strange habit of their Zhang Family—business is business, yet they insist on linking it with emotions. Truly, if they aren't of the same family, they don't enter the same door," Huo Zhiyuan complained.

The touched emotion Zhao Jingyu originally felt suddenly dissipated, and she looked at Huo Zhiyuan with a wry smile. You talk about the Zhang family like this, but aren't you the same way?

A massive company, just because of your personal feelings, you said you'd give it back and you did. And it's actually the same for her, Zhao Jingyu; it is precisely because Huo Zhiyuan treats Zhao Jingyu like her own younger sister that she has done so much paving for her.

"Sister, what are you going to do?" Zhao Jingyu asked.

Upon hearing this, a smile immediately appeared on Huo Zhiyuan's face, "Nothing much, it's just that the Yuanran Charity Foundation is sponsoring an event, and I'm going to take a look and keep an eye on things."

As she spoke, she pretended to be indifferent.

Zhao Jingyu was speechless and said nothing. Is a small event worth you, the Big Boss, going in person?

She had also guessed some of the situation; it must be related to Zhang Ran.

"Right, when we get off work later, come back with me to pick out a few suitable outfits," said Huo Zhiyuan.

Zhao Jingyu nodded, "Sister, you still have quite a few clothes at the villa, right? Should we go to the villa and take a look first?"

Now Zhao Jingyu had also truly moved into the villa. Originally, she didn't really want to go; although she wanted to experience the feeling of living in a luxury villa, she always felt a bit uncomfortable.

However, at Huo Zhiyuan's request, she still moved in.

"No need, no need to wear those clothes. Just find some ordinary ones," said Huo Zhiyuan.
