Chapter 415: 411. Pulling an All-Nighter to Do Homework (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)
Zhang Ran's maneuver can be said to have completely put Huang Lin and those people on high alert; if it weren't for the problems that arose within Maikai Supermarket this time, it is very likely that Zhuo Fan would only have realized it after Zhang Ran suddenly launched his attack.
However, although he has realized it now, who knows if Zhang Ran still has other similar situations?
Therefore, those who were originally prepared to support Huang Lin no longer spoke of it; they began to silently investigate the situations within their own industries to see if anything similar to the Maikai Supermarket situation had appeared.
But Zhang Ran did not care about their thoughts at this moment; he was already rushing home overnight.
He left the matters here to Jiao Zhen, completely letting go; the reason he left He Qing here was not to monitor Jiao Zhen, but to deter those old employees.
Jiao Zhen understood this point, and those like Geng Yichang who had been reminded by Jiao Zhen also understood.
Zhang Ran gave Jiao Zhen and the others half a month; this half a month was for them to reorganize the company and to be able to barely manage the company.
As long as this was completed, Zhang Ran's next plan would be implemented immediately, and at the same time, Fengli Group and Dahe Express were also prepared.
On the road, Zhang Ran picked up some materials that He Qing had organized to look through; these were all content regarding Biaoxue Company.
Zhang Sicheng had not been idle these past few days; ever since returning to Shanghai, his entire state had changed.
In the past, unless Meng Mingxuan invited him, Zhang Sicheng would not take the initiative to find Ning Qing and those people to hang out.
But it was different now; since returning, Zhang Sicheng had already taken the initiative several times to invite Ning Qing and those people to come out and gather.
Although in most cases they were discussing game matters, which counted as work content, this was still a good change.
Biaoxue Company and Weiteng had already begun to vigorously promote the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds finals and the new game.
The hype had already risen, but it was currently being suppressed by Zhang Ran's own hype; such a situation was estimated to last for a few more days.
After taking a brief look, Zhang Ran put these aside; the main reason he was in such a hurry to rush back was not these, but that the two little ones were starting school tomorrow.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening when Zhang Ran returned home.
"Dad, you haven't eaten yet, right? I'll go make you something," Liu Lu asked as she stood up.
Zhang Ran said, "Just heat up what you have left over."
"I'll make something fresh; it won't take much effort, everything is already prepared," Liu Lu said before heading to the kitchen.
"Grandpa."
"Grandpa."
The two little ones immediately clung to Zhang Ran's side; it seemed they still missed their grandfather very much.
However, when Zhang Ran saw the pen in Zhang Xiaotao's hand, he froze for a moment, "Taotao, don't tell me your summer homework isn't finished yet?"
Zhang Xiaotao's originally happy little face immediately turned dejected; he really hadn't finished it.
Recently he had been playing too wildly; not to mention the Summer Camp, where the teachers basically helped teach some courses in advance, and although he did some homework, it wasn't much.
Afterward, he went to Russia, and he played even more wildly; it was perfectly normal that his summer homework wasn't finished.
"Grandpa, there is so, so much homework, I can't finish it," Zhang Xiaotao began to act spoiled.
Seeing him in this state, Zhang Ran immediately felt a headache; he felt more and more that he needed to give Zhang Xiaotao some training, otherwise such a weak character was indeed not very good.
However, Zhang Ran did not show it on his face, and instead said somewhat sternly, "You cannot leave your homework undone; this is a task assigned by your teacher, and it must be completed."
Seeing his grandfather speak this way, Zhang Xiaotao knew that acting spoiled was useless, so he went back to do his homework in low spirits.
Susu sat by her grandfather's side and began whispering to him.
Zhang Siyan and Qian Li also chatted with Zhang Ran for a while before leaving; although they had also seen the Maikai Supermarket matter online, they did not ask too much.
Asking was useless; they couldn't help Zhang Ran with anything right now, and it would only add to their own troubles.
After eating a little, Zhang Ran accompanied Zhang Xiaotao to start doing his homework.
The amount of homework Zhang Xiaotao hadn't done exceeded Zhang Ran's expectations; originally Zhang Ran thought there wouldn't be much left, but even when it reached twelve o'clock, Zhang Xiaotao was still plugging away at his homework.
"Has he not been doing his homework these past few days?" Zhang Ran asked Liu Lu, who had come over to take a look.
Upon hearing this, Liu Lu said with a wry smile, "Uncle Nikolayev sent their cars over, and the two little ones have been playing with the cars these past two days; where would they have time to do homework?"
"I said a few words, but Taotao was always absent-minded, and he had no spirit when doing his homework; when I prepared to confiscate them, he kept crying and making a scene with me..."
After listening to what Liu Lu said, Zhang Ran nodded and said, "Then don't worry about him, just let him write."
Originally Zhang Ran had felt some pity for Zhang Xiaotao, but now, no matter how much he pitied him, he couldn't let him do whatever he wanted; he had to be disciplined.
"Dad, you go to sleep first; I'll watch him here," Liu Lu said softly.
Zhang Ran looked at Zhang Xiaotao, then shook his head and said, "I don't have anything to do tomorrow; you go to sleep, I'll accompany him."
This time, Zhang Ran was determined to let Zhang Xiaotao learn a lesson.
He also needed to reflect on himself; his education of Zhang Xiaotao and Susu could not be relaxed because of doting.
After Liu Lu tried to persuade him a couple of times, she didn't say anything more; she prepared some snacks and water for Zhang Ran and Zhang Xiaotao before going back to sleep.
Zhang Ran read a book on the side, while Zhang Xiaotao silently wrote his homework.
What surprised Zhang Ran the most was that during this time, other than saying a few words to him, Zhang Xiaotao never complained once, just kept his head down and wrote.
Even though he was already sleepy, he didn't say he wanted to go to sleep.
Just like that, he wrote until seven o'clock the next morning; Zhang Ran was already feeling dazed when he suddenly heard a shout from Zhang Xiaotao, "Ah, I'm done!"
Instantly, Zhang Ran woke up completely; looking at the relieved Zhang Xiaotao, Zhang Ran opened his mouth and finally could only say, "Once you're done, go wash your face, eat something, and then go to school."
Zhang Xiaotao grunted in acknowledgment, then quickly ran to the bathroom to wash up.
Zhang Ran also yawned and washed up, feeling slightly more energetic; after finishing breakfast, Zhang Siyan said, "Dad, why don't you go get some rest; I'll take them to school."
Today was Susu's first day of school; no matter how busy Zhang Siyan was, she would make time for it.
Zhang Ran waved his hand and said, "No need, it won't take long; I'll go take a look, and I can sleep when I get back."
