Chapter 436: 432. Zhang Ran's Overt Plot (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)

Huang Lin looked at the screen in silence, speechless for a long time.

Cheng Mei, standing to the side, frowned and said, "Why didn't you tell them about our difficulties? If you do this, you will cause the team, which is already not of one mind, to have internal strife again."

Huang Lin said with an expressionless face, "Tell them what? What difficulties do we have?"

"It's not that we haven't taken action, nor have we just been watching from the sidelines; we were simply warned by Zhang Ran's side. If you don't say anything, it will make them misunderstand you," Cheng Mei said, her expression somewhat anxious.

Huang Lin stared at her blankly, then finally sighed, "Do you think they would believe me if I told them? Even if they believed me, would they understand?

Especially Zhuo Fan; at this point, he doesn't care whether we have difficulties or not. As long as I don't agree, he will resent us all the same. There is no difference."

Yes, they had indeed taken some actions before, but these actions were quickly detected by Zhang Ran, who then directly had Zhao Lifeng start taking action.

Zhao Lifeng didn't do anything else; he simply sent notification letters to all the major appliance merchants. The meaning was very clear: he was starting to prepare for the upcoming competition.

Regarding this, whether it was Huamei or other appliance merchants, they were already mentally prepared.

Because of this, Huang Lin really didn't dare to act rashly, because they were also preparing at this time, and they were even less prepared.

Knowing Zhang Ran's moves, Huang Lin naturally couldn't just sit and wait for death, so he also contacted some other e-commerce platforms to cooperate.

Although doing so meant being at the mercy of others, at the very least there was still room for maneuver. If it fell into Zhang Ran's hands, there would truly be no chance at all.

Therefore, because of these circumstances, Huang Lin had no way to move at all.

He believed that as long as he dared to take any action, Zhang Ran would definitely start a two-front war; he understood this point.

And Huamei was not yet prepared at the moment. At the same time, Huang Lin was secretly rejoicing in his heart, rejoicing that Zhang Ran had chosen Fengchao first instead of Huamei.

"Then are we just going to leave it like this? If we do this, it will basically be impossible for us to borrow money from them in the future. This..." Cheng Mei was somewhat unable to understand how things had suddenly turned out this way.

Clearly, their common enemy was Zhang Ran; this was very clear, everyone knew it, and Zhang Ran's threat was obvious to all. Everyone had also seen Zhang Ran's ruthlessness with their own eyes.

But even so, even after seeing the miserable state of Tian Yaohui, they still hadn't joined forces, and internal suspicion had even emerged.

Seeing his wife's somewhat bewildered expression, Huang Lin suddenly smiled, "Don't think of human nature as too simple, and don't think of it as too complex. What you have thought of, everyone else has also thought of. Likewise, Zhang Ran has also thought of it.

Does everyone not know that this contract was actually intentionally handed to us by Zhang Ran?

Everyone must know, but why is it that even now, no one has chosen to help Zhuo Fan?"

"Why?" Cheng Mei truly did not understand. Since they all understood Zhang Ran's intentions, why would they still follow his wishes?

Huang Lin's gaze gradually became deep, "Because this is Zhang Ran's overt plot."

"If we all lent money to Zhuo Fan now, or even gave up some of our own channels to him to let him fight Zhang Ran, it would indeed delay things for a long time. It might even be possible to drag Zhang Ran down, just as Zhuo Fan said."

"But have you thought about it? Once we really did that, even helping Zhuo Fan without reservation, and Zhang Ran suddenly signed this contract, what choice do you think Zhuo Fan would make?"

"At that time, would he choose to continue to fight Zhang Ran head-on, or would he choose to compromise and turn around to deal with us? And when that time comes, we would truly be in trouble."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Mei also fell silent. She actually understood it, but it was just hard for her to accept for the moment.

They clearly all knew that the biggest threat was Zhang Ran, and they clearly knew that if Zhuo Fan was dealt with this time, Zhang Ran's strength would increase once again.

But now they seemed to have no choice but to watch from the sidelines, not daring to intervene. Because since Zhuo Fan had already done it once, no one would believe him a second time; even he himself dared not believe that he could withstand such temptation.

So, these were all Zhang Ran's overt plots. Likewise, it was also Zhuo Fan who had personally cut off his own path.

At this moment, Zhang Ran was gambling with their human nature: Do you dare to entrust your future to Zhuo Fan?

Very clearly, Huang Lin and these people did not dare!

They would rather fail in the face of Zhang Ran than entrust their future to someone like Zhuo Fan.

Zhuo Fan, in a rage, threw his computer down and gasped for air. At this moment, he had already lost his composure.

He had not expected that Zhang Ran would hand this contract to Huang Lin and the others. This was equivalent to him cutting off his own path for help.

"No, I cannot be like Tian Yaohui. I absolutely will not agree," Zhuo Fan muttered to himself.

He did not believe that Zhang Ran had absolute evidence to do anything to him, but he did not want to end up with nothing.

If things continued like this, even if Zhang Ran had absolutely no evidence, as long as it kept going on, he would be beaten back to his original state.

Slowly, an idea emerged in Zhuo Fan's heart. He did not want to be buried along with Fengchao, so the only way was to abandon Fengchao and take the money and leave.

The world was so big; as long as he was not in Huaxia, Zhuo Fan did not believe that Zhang Ran could do anything to him.

Moreover, he was now considered a wealthy man; no matter which country he went to, he would have the necessary guarantees.

But he could not be in a hurry, because the others were not fools either. As long as he made any obvious moves, what awaited him might be a different situation.

At this moment, Zhuo Fan still needed these people to help him withstand Zhang Ran's pressure, at least until he had finished handling some things.

Zhang Ran looked at the somewhat dazed Liu Kai and said with a smile, "Xiao Kai, I heard that you and Panpan are getting married?"

Liu Kai and Gu Panpan had also come to Beijing for the National Day holiday. Originally, he didn't know that his sister's family had also come. As it happened, they met while climbing the Great Wall.

Hearing Zhang Ran's words, Liu Kai finally snapped out of his shock at this Huamei Courtyard and hurriedly replied, "Yes, we are getting married in November. Uncle Zhang, will you have time?"

Liu Kai's face showed a look of anticipation. The more he learned about his sister's father-in-law, the more shocked he became.

Now that his sister's family even had such a Siheyuan, it had refreshed his perception once again.

Gu Panpan was also full of anticipation.

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Sure, if I'm free then, I will definitely go to attend."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang, thank you." Liu Kai was immediately overjoyed. If Zhang Ran could attend his wedding, he felt that the entire wedding would become much more prestigious.
