Chapter 373: 369. A Chance Encounter with Xia Wen and Tu Yu (Seeking Monthly Votes!)
Zhang Ran said this to hint to Qian Li not to overthink things; although there were other factors involved in He Yong doing this, his goal was also to save her.
Upon hearing Zhang Ran's words, Qian Li was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said apologetically, "Uncle He, I'm sorry!"
He Yong smiled and said, "It's fine, what you're feeling is a normal reaction, don't take it to heart."
After being enlightened by Zhang Ran, although Qian Li was still a little uncomfortable afterward, she quickly adjusted herself.
As for Li Mingli and her daughter, they had already returned home by this time, as they felt they had no face left to stay with Siyan.
Siyan had come to help their family out of kindness, but their head of household had done such a thing, making them temporarily unable to accept it.
The money Siyan had previously paid on their behalf had all been returned, and Bo San had even sent people to paint all the walls in Li Mingli's home clean.
The property deed that had been mortgaged to them was also returned; now that Bo San and his group had completely admitted defeat, they didn't do things with any hesitation!
Originally, they had planned to leave the next day, but because such an incident had occurred, Zhang Ran's family rested here for two days.
In those two days, Siyan and the others had mostly recovered; after all, they were just some small-time thugs, and while there was some shock, it hadn't reached the point of being too scared to sleep.
Within these two days, the police had thoroughly investigated all the details of this case and simultaneously arrested everyone at that small restaurant.
Although the owner of the small restaurant was not considered an accomplice, they were considered to have known about it without reporting it, and had even helped provide some tools for the crime.
Added to the importance the police placed on this case, they wouldn't be able to escape spending a few years inside.
Zhang Ran didn't pay too much attention to this; he let things take their course.
Over these two days, the two little ones had also been much better behaved; although they didn't know what had happened, they could both tell that Siyan and Qian Li were feeling a bit uncomfortable.
So the two little ones were very well-behaved, and from time to time, they would deliberately try to make the two adults happy, which was also the reason why Siyan and the others recovered so quickly.
With the two little ones around, it was like having two sources of joy; looking at their cute little appearances, their moods naturally became much more pleasant—the beauty of the world is nothing more than this!
Carrying a pile of luggage, Zhang Ran's family boarded the train bound for Moscow; they had bought the ultra-luxury package, which included a luxury suite.
Zhang Ran was also thinking of taking this opportunity to travel with his family and relax.
It just so happened that Siyan's incident had occurred, so taking it slow was also fine.
"This is much more comfortable than what we used to take," Zhang Ran said to He Yong with a smile.
He Yong sighed, "It is. In the past, I never imagined that a train could be this comfortable."
When they went to Russia in the past, they had also taken the train, but the experience wasn't very good, and it was very chaotic back then.
Just as Zhang Ran and He Yong were chatting about the past, someone suddenly called out to them.
"Uncle Zhang?" Zhang Ran turned his head to look and discovered five people walking toward them; he recognized two of them.
"Xiaoyu, Xiaowen." The two people he recognized were none other than Tu Yu, whom he had met not long ago, and Xia Zhangqing's daughter, Xia Wen.
"Uncle Zhang, it really is you. I thought I had mistaken you for someone else," Tu Yu said excitedly as he came over to greet him.
During this period, he had been pestering his father and asking others to understand Zhang Ran's situation; the more he learned, the more shocked he felt, so he was a bit excited to see Zhang Ran at this moment.
"Uncle Zhang." Xia Wen also walked over and greeted him with the respect due to an elder.
Zhang Ran smiled, "Are you all going to Russia too?"
"Yes, we're going over there to have some fun; we were bored to death at home," Tu Yu said with a smile.
Zhang Ran nodded, "Xiaowen, how is your mother doing? She wasn't angry, was she?"
Last time, Zhang Ran hadn't left any face at all at the end, so he didn't know what Chang Meilan was thinking.
Xia Wen knew what Zhang Ran meant and said with a smile, "Uncle Zhang, my mother is fine. She even said she wanted to apologize to you when she has time; it was my grandfather and the others who were in the wrong."
Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Zhang Ran didn't ask any further; even if Chang Meilan were angry about this matter, Zhang Ran would still have done the same thing.
But it was best that she wasn't angry.
"Come, let me introduce you to my son and daughter," Zhang Ran said.
Zhang Ran didn't take the initiative to ask who the other three were; there was no need!
Immediately, Zhang Ran found Siyan and the others in the KTV room; this train had everything from KTV to bars.
After a brief introduction, Tu Yu and Xia Wen were both very polite in greeting Siyan and Sicheng, and since they were all young people, they quickly started hanging out together.
Although the other three didn't know Zhang Ran's situation, they weren't fools after seeing how polite Tu Yu and Xia Wen were, so they blended in very harmoniously.
Zhang Ran and He Yong didn't disturb the young people's fun too much; they stayed to have a drink with them for a little while before leaving.
"Xiaoyu, who is this? He looks very young," Lu Xuan asked in a low voice.
Tu Yu whispered, "Don't look at my Uncle Zhang and think he's young; his age is no less than my father's. As for who he is? Hehe, it would scare you to death if I told you."
"Haha." Seeing his mysterious act, Lu Xuan and the other two just chuckled twice.
"You know about the Zhang Ran System that's causing the biggest stir on the internet right now, right?" Seeing their reaction, Tu Yu's tone suddenly became urgent.
"Of course I know. By the way, isn't Fengli Group in Lin'an?" Lu Xuan said.
"Hmph, my Uncle Zhang is named Zhang Ran!" Tu Yu said proudly, as if knowing Zhang Ran was something worth being proud of.
"Uh... really?"
Following the merger of Fengli Group and Dahe Express, the discussions and speculations about the Zhang Ran System on the internet had become more and more frequent, and the curiosity about Zhang Ran had grown even deeper!
Now that such a mysterious figure had appeared right before their eyes, Lu Xuan and the others were all quite surprised.
"I wouldn't lie to you, would I? Let me also tell you, you all know about the internal situation at Fengli Group, right?" Tu Yu said, putting on a mysterious air.
"Tell us quickly, stop playing games." The three of them were made even more curious by him.
"Regarding that internal situation, my Uncle Zhang only used two days to solve it, while Zhao Lifeng hadn't been able to solve it in ten years. I heard that when he was on the scene that day, Uncle Zhang was domineering and imposing, settling the matter with a single word: those who want to stay, stay; those who don't, get out!" Tu Yu became more and more exaggerated as he spoke.
Many of the details were things Tu Yu had embellished himself; in any case, he had told the story so well that he even believed it himself.
Although Lu Xuan and the other two didn't fully believe his words, they believed at least some of it, especially since some of the circumstances were similar to what they already knew.
