Chapter 45: 45. Zhang Siyan's Concern (Seeking collections, seeking recommendation votes!)

"Little Qian, Little Zhang, look, that's the person who did the hitting. I have to say, the young man is quite handsome," Liu Jie suddenly said.

Qian Li and Zhang Siyan looked up and discovered that Zhang Ran and Meng Mingxuan were walking toward them.

Once they walked closer, Qian Li truly saw Zhang Ran's appearance and seemed to guess Zhang Ran's identity.

Zhang Ran stopped at the entrance of their shop, looked up at the Kangshilan sign, and was somewhat lost in thought.

This cosmetics brand was a gift he had bought years ago intending to give to Yu Qingwan; it was only temporarily registered under his name. Once he proposed, he would transfer those 95% of the shares to Yu Qingwan's name, and at that time, Zhang Ran would also tell Yu Qingwan everything about himself, except for his transmigration and his golden finger.

He wanted her to know that the man she liked wasn't just someone who fantasized about the future, nor was he just the "braggart" in her eyes, but that he truly had ability.

But he never expected this wait would last twenty-eight years; by the time he returned again, things had changed and people were no longer the same!

The reason Zhang Ran gave those 5% of shares to Huo Zhiyuan, besides it being a gift from an older brother to a younger sister,

was also because he knew that Yu Qingwan was simply not cut out for business.

And as for that little girl who seemed somewhat insecure, Zhang Ran could tell that deep down inside, she was actually very strong-willed.

Furthermore, after the incident of being sold by her family, Zhang Ran believed that Huo Zhiyuan would be more trustworthy than many people he had around him at the time.

Therefore, Huo Zhiyuan was the professional manager Zhang Ran chose back then to help Yu Qingwan manage the company.

Meng Mingxuan did not stand there foolishly with Zhang Ran, but instead entered the shop and greeted with a smile, "Sister Siyan."

"You two know each other?" Liu Jie asked.

Zhang Siyan said, "A friend."

Liu Jie seemed to notice that they appeared to have some matters to attend to, so she did not continue to disturb them and smilingly prepared to leave.

However, before leaving, she still gave a thumbs-up to Meng Mingxuan, "Young man, that hit just now was good; your moves were quite agile."

"Haha, thank you for the compliment, Sister. I still need to work harder," Meng Mingxuan said with a grin.

"This little fellow knows how to talk. Next time you come to Sister's shop to buy clothes, I'll give you a ninety percent discount." Liu Jie was instantly overjoyed upon hearing how sweet Meng Mingxuan's mouth was.

After Liu Jie left, Zhang Ran then walked into the shop.

In fact, the reason he had stared at the sign for so long just now was, first, that he was indeed feeling a bit sentimental, and second, he was afraid that if he came in, it would make Zhang Siyan not know how to introduce him, causing her embarrassment.

"Uncle Zhang? You must be Uncle Zhang, right?" Qian Li had a personality quite similar to Meng Mingxuan's, being more outgoing.

Seeing Zhang Ran's appearance, combined with Zhang Siyan's somewhat complex gaze, how could Qian Li not guess Zhang Ran's identity?

Zhang Ran smiled at Qian Li and said, "You must be Qian Li. Thank you for taking care of our Siyan for so many years."

"Hey, Uncle Zhang, what are you saying? Siyan and I are best friends; these things are what I should do," Qian Li said with an indifferent expression.

"By the way, Uncle Zhang, do you know him?" Qian Li pointed at Meng Mingxuan.

After seeing Zhang Ran nod, Qian Li seemed to understand, "Was it you who told him to go beat up that Sun Gaixin just now?"

Zhang Siyan also spoke up at this moment, "You shouldn't do things like that in the future. Things are different now than they used to be; fighting now means going to the police station."

Zhang Siyan said this subconsciously; she didn't know if this was her caring for Zhang Ran, but seeing him stand up for her, a surge of emotion suddenly welled up in her heart.

Zhang Ran, however, heard her concern, and his face instantly blossomed into a smile, "Haha, don't worry, I know. That was a conflict that happened between the two of them; what does it have to do with me?

Besides, I wasn't the one who made the move; if they want to arrest someone, they should arrest this guy Meng Mingxuan."

Meng Mingxuan on the side immediately said with a bitter face, "Uncle Zhang, you can't be like this. You're discarding the millstone after the donkey has finished grinding."

With him saying that, the atmosphere in the room immediately became much more relaxed.

"How is the business here?" Zhang Ran asked while looking around.

Qian Li said with a smile, "Business is actually quite good. And you don't know, just a moment ago, Siyan and I were already selected as candidate agents by Kangshilan Company. If we really pass, we can make big money in the future."

Watching Qian Li's happy expression, Zhang Ran was slightly stunned for a moment.

Just at this moment, Zhao Jingyu hurried over again. As soon as she reached the door, she said, "Ms. Qian, Ms. Zhang, remember to bring your ID cards tomorrow; we need to help you process your access passes."

As she spoke, she subconsciously stopped, looking at that face she found somewhat familiar yet very strange.

She had long been familiar with this face of Zhang Ran's from the photos Huo Zhiyuan often stared at in a daze. Apart from a fleeting glance at the gymnasium, this was the first time she had seen this face up close.

Zhao Jingyu had also forgotten to mention this matter earlier because she had run into Tian Ya and the others and heard about Zhang Siyan and Sun Gaixin; she only remembered halfway there.

"Okay, we will definitely bring them tomorrow," Qian Li said immediately.

However, at this moment, Meng Mingxuan spoke up, "Assistant Zhao? What is this about?"

Zhao Jingyu had been a bit nervous when she first saw Zhang Ran; after all, if one were to be truly pedantic, the person in front of her was the true boss behind their company.

And according to Huo Zhiyuan's intentions, this company was clearly meant to be returned.

But after hearing Meng Mingxuan's words, Zhao Jingyu collected herself slightly and explained, "It's an arrangement by the company. The company plans to replace some agents and, incidentally, cultivate its own agents. Ms. Qian and Ms. Zhang are the people selected after the company's evaluation."

The reason she said so much was not for Meng Mingxuan to hear, but for Zhang Ran on the side.

Based on what she knew of the current situation, Zhang Ran seemed to be unaware of Huo Zhiyuan's intentions, and even less aware that Huo Zhiyuan was actually prepared to return the company's shares.

Zhao Jingyu didn't know what Zhang Ran would think, but if such a thing happened to her, she would definitely think the worst of it; after all, this wasn't just a small amount of money.

Zhao Jingyu knew exactly what feelings Huo Zhiyuan had for Zhang Ran, which was why she was worried that Zhang Ran would think poorly of Huo Zhiyuan.

But she didn't dare to say too much; if something like this were to become awkward because of her loose lips, she wouldn't know what to do.

Zhang Ran nodded thoughtfully without speaking. After Zhao Jingyu finished saying this, she also hurried away.

Zhang Siyan frowned as she watched Zhao Jingyu's departing back; why did she feel like Zhao Jingyu was trying to run away?
