Chapter 298: 294. What kind of thing are you? (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)
Upon hearing Zhang Ran's conditions, Xin Man was completely stunned, then said with a trembling body, "You... are you saying this is true?"
"I can guarantee that there is absolutely no false component to it. If you don't believe me, I will write you a guarantee right now." Huo Zhiyuan had been following behind the whole time, just without disturbing Zhang Ran, and stood out at this moment to speak.
In the eyes of people like Xin Man, Huo Zhiyuan's reputation and credibility were completely incomparable to Zhang Ran's.
Hearing these words from Huo Zhiyuan, Xin Man's eyes turned red, "Mr. Zhang, tell us what you want us to do; even if you want this old life of mine, it's yours."
What did these words from Zhang Ran represent?
They represented that the fate of their entire village would change from this moment on!
Previously, a Hope Primary School alone could make them incredibly excited, and now Zhang Ran had added the best teaching staff and a profit of ten million.
What Xin Man said was not just a slogan; at this moment, he truly thought so.
Just as Zhang Ran was about to speak, He Yong said first, "Trouble Village Chief Xin to find some young and strong men to come with me. Remember, they must be able to fight and dare to fight."
He Yong knew that he could not let Zhang Ran leave behind any handle at any time; he had always been very sensitive in this regard.
"No problem, I'll go call people right now." Xin Man did not have any hesitation.
Xin Man actually also knew that since Zhang Ran had offered such conditions, the matter would certainly not be too simple, but he went to do it without hesitation, because for them, this was a chance to turn their lives around.
The speed here was very fast, but most of those who went were middle-aged men; there were very few youths. Firstly, there were not many youths at home, and secondly, Xin Man intentionally did not let them go.
Zhang Ran did not say anything either; he was only making some preparations this time.
Twenty-five minutes later, Zhang Ran arrived at the gate of Tianjiashan, and from afar, he saw Liu Lu surrounded in the middle.
Looking at the panicked expression on Liu Lu's face, Zhang Ran's expression became increasingly gloomy.
Seeing a group of people following behind Zhang Ran, Xiaoyuan was stunned at first, but after seeing that they were all people from Ligou Village, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Zhang Ran come over, Liu Lu didn't know why, but she felt less nervous.
"Dad, I've caused you trouble," Liu Lu said with her head lowered.
A smile appeared on Zhang Ran's face as he comforted her, "No trouble, we are all one family, why talk about two families? It's a small matter, it's fine, don't be afraid."
As he spoke, Zhang Ran also walked toward that side. A person beside Xiaoyuan subconsciously reached out to stop him, but Zhang Ran didn't even look at him.
Immediately, a scream was heard, along with a 'Crack!', and this person began to wail while clutching his arm.
At that very instant, He Yong swung his iron fist directly and smashed down fiercely, breaking the person's arm straight away.
He recognized this person as the one who had threatened Zhang Ran at the beginning; he could not possibly show mercy.
Xiaoyuan's expression changed, and he said angrily, "Zhang Ran, you..."
Zhang Ran was not polite either and slapped him directly. Xiaoyuan did not expect Zhang Ran to act as soon as he said he would, and before he could react, he felt a burning pain on his face.
Seeing Zhang Ran take action, the people around Xiaoyuan immediately wanted to swarm up, and when Xin Man's side saw this, they also surged over.
Seeing that a large-scale brawl was about to happen, Zhang Ran looked at these people indifferently and said, "Come on, let me see who gave you the guts to make a move."
Although Xiaoyuan was very angry in his heart, he still had some reason left. Others did not know Zhang Ran's situation, but Xiaoyuan had indeed learned of Zhang Ran's identity from Xia Zhangqing.
So he really did not dare to make a move against Zhang Ran.
"Stop," Xiaoyuan hurriedly shouted to stop them.
Zhang Ran ignored these people; he looked at Liu Lu with a smile and said, "Xiao Lu, tell me what the situation is? Dad will vent your anger for you."
Seeing Zhang Ran's smile, Liu Lu's heart, which had been slightly worried, was completely put at ease, and she whispered the story out.
After listening, Zhang Ran did not show any reaction, just nodded indifferently. In fact, this time, no matter where Liu Lu was wrong, as long as it was not something that violated the law or caused public outrage, Zhang Ran would not say anything.
This was a result that had already been destined when Mu Yuan said he wanted Zhang Ran to kneel and apologize.
Zhang Ran smiled and said to Liu Lu, "Xiao Lu, why don't you go back first?"
"No, Dad, I..." Liu Lu subconsciously shook her head. In her view, this matter was caused by her; how could she let Zhang Ran bear it alone while she ran away?
Seeing her say this, Zhang Ran did not try to persuade her anymore and just stood there quietly waiting for the person who had asked him to kneel and plead guilty to appear.
It didn't take long to wait; very soon, Mu Yuan and his group appeared. Not only Mu Yuan, but people like Miao Lao also followed along, and even most of the people in the entire village had come out.
Miao Lao had received the report from Xiaoyuan, while the other people in the village came out to build momentum and, by the way, see how this Mr. Xiao Mu would throw a tantrum.
They now trusted this Mr. Xiao Mu very much.
And when they saw that the person on the opposite side was actually Zhang Ran, some people even had a playful smile on their faces.
They wanted to see what would happen when Zhang Ran faced Mu Yuan.
Some people's hearts had even begun to look forward to the scene of Zhang Ran begging for mercy next.
It was just that they didn't see that Zhang Ran was slightly stunned when he saw the appearance of Mu Yuan walking at the very front, and then his eyes became increasingly cold.
"Are you her life-saving straw? Tsk tsk tsk, I don't think you're much either. What do you want to do by bringing so many mud-legged peasants? Want to beat me? You guys try it; whoever dares to move an inch, I'll make sure they can't afford the consequences for the rest of their lives." Mu Yuan had finished washing up and changed into new clothes, and he was very arrogant when facing Zhang Ran.
When Xin Man and the others heard Mu Yuan's words, they were all a bit hesitant. After all, they were just ordinary people, and seeing Mu Yuan's arrogant appearance, it was inevitable that they would lack confidence.
Zhang Ran did not let them do anything either; the reason he found them this time was just to be on the safe side.
Now that he saw Mu Yuan, Zhang Ran knew he wouldn't need them.
Zhang Ran ignored Mu Yuan, looked at people like Miao Lao, then looked at Mu Yuan and suddenly laughed, though the smile was somewhat cold.
"Mu Yuan, is it? Did your dad, Mu Jinyuan, tell you to do this?" Zhang Ran asked.
"Huh?" Mu Yuan was slightly stunned. Zhang Ran knew him? And knew his dad?
However, he didn't know Zhang Ran. Although Mu Yuan had not yet entered the family business to manage it, Mu Jinyuan had long since started preparing some connections for him.
He had never seen Zhang Ran and didn't know Zhang Ran, so he sneered upon hearing this, "My dad? You think too highly of yourself, don't you? What kind of thing are you, to need my dad to speak up?"
