Chapter 453: 449. Zhang Ran's Attitude (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)

Zhang Ran smiled as he explained the situation to Fei Lan. After listening, Fei Lan sighed and said, "Xiao Ran, you have a kind heart. Big Sister thanks you."

Zhang Ran said, "Big Sister, please don't say that; you're making me feel unworthy."

"I am thanking you on behalf of the children. Why don't you go see the children tomorrow and let them know who their great benefactor is?" Fei Lan said.

Zhang Ran immediately shook his head and said, "I won't go. They don't need to thank me; they need to thank you. Compared to what you have done, my actions are insignificant!"

Fei Lan wanted to say something more, but heard Zhang Ran say, "Alright, Big Sister, please really don't do this."

Afterward, Zhang Ran stopped talking about these topics and just chatted with Big Sister about some interesting things from the past.

From time to time, they would also mention some people from back then.

Big Sister actually knew the situation of some of these people, even their addresses, but over all these years, Big Sister had never gone to look for them.

Nor had she ever spoken to them about the reopening of the orphanage.

"Everyone has had a hard time. Since they were able to move on and have a stable life, let's not disturb them," Fei Lan said.

Zhang Ran didn't say much more. For these people, apart from him, their longing for a stable home was beyond what others could imagine.

Just like Gong Nan before.

Zhang Ran drank quite a bit that night, but the next day, he came over to take a quick look and then left, not staying for a few more days as he had initially planned.

Because he discovered that when he was at the orphanage, the children would feel a bit afraid, timid, and inferior when they saw him.

So Zhang Ran chose to leave.

This time the car didn't stop anywhere else. While driving, He Yong said, "Brother Zhang, I have some money too. Should I buy some supplies as well?"

Zhang Ran shook his head and said, "Forget it, there's no need. It's enough that you have this intention."

"However, you must keep an eye on this matter for me personally. Don't let any pests hurt the children's hearts again. If anyone dares to interfere in this, don't blame me for being heartless."

After saying this, Zhang Ran still felt a bit uneasy. If such a thing really happened, he could indeed react and teach those people a big lesson.

But the harm done to the children would be irreparable, and this was something Zhang Ran would not allow to happen.

So he called Feng Hui again.

"Boss," Feng Hui said respectfully.

Zhang Ran said calmly, "You remember what I told you last night, right?"

"I remember. I have already arranged for people to contact some hospitals," Feng Hui said immediately, though he felt a bit puzzled—was the boss doubting his ability to handle things?

Zhang Ran said, "I will have He Yong keep an eye on this, and you keep a close watch too. No matter who it is, and no matter what, I will not allow anyone to cause trouble in this matter. Otherwise, I will make them know the consequences."

Zhang Ran's tone was very heavy, and Feng Hui was also shocked; he had underestimated the importance the boss placed on this matter.

"I understand. I will definitely keep an eye on this matter personally. There will absolutely be no problems, and no one will be allowed to get their hands into it," Feng Hui said firmly.

Zhang Ran gave a hum and continued, "I'm not afraid of those things. What I'm worried about is someone acting on their own initiative, thinking it's for the good of the company, and using the children as a selling point for publicity. That is not what I want. Do you understand?"

A cold sweat broke out on Feng Hui's back. If Zhang Ran hadn't said that, he actually would have had such thoughts.

"I understand," Feng Hui said immediately.

Seeing Feng Hui's reaction, Zhang Ran knew he had fully grasped his meaning, so he didn't say anything more.

"In two years, I will consolidate the shares I hold in the company. At that time, there will be some adjustments and audits of the company. Don't slack off on your end," Zhang Ran said as a final remark.

After hearing this, Feng Hui was completely excited. He understood what Zhang Ran meant, but what excited him even more was Zhang Ran's attitude.

Was this an intention to let him advance further?

Arriving home at twelve noon, Zhang Ran had just gotten out of the car when he saw the two little ones squatting at the door playing, along with other children from the residential complex.

Now the whole complex knew about Zhang Ran's home—not because Zhang Ran's identity was exposed, but because of the flowers and plants planted at his doorway.

Basically, there was a faint fragrance all year round. This scent was very pleasant, and it was different in every season.

Some residents living upstairs felt that sleeping while smelling these flowers made their sleep much better.

There were even people who came to ask how the flowers were sold.

At first, Liu Lu would politely refuse, which even made some people unhappy, but when someone who knew their value mentioned the price, everyone shut their mouths.

It was also because of this that the prices of the houses near Zhang Ran's place were slightly more expensive than others.

Many children also liked this fragrance, so they often came over, and after coming and going, they started playing with the two little ones.

Zhang Ran was happy to see this scene. He wasn't worried that these rowdy kids would damage the flowers and plants, because the parents of these children had already warned their own rowdy kids.

Zhang Ran didn't rush inside either, but stood at the door watching the two little ones playing. He hadn't seen them for a few days, and he missed them quite a bit. Although they video-chatted every night, it wasn't as happy as seeing them in person.

Susu was the first to discover that Zhang Ran had returned.

The little one threw away the toy shovel in her hand, then shouted and ran over.

"Grandpa, Grandpa," Susu shouted loudly, as if that wasn't enough to express her happiness.

Zhang Ran didn't mind the dirt on the little one's clothes and happily picked her up.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, I missed you so much," Susu said, pressing her little face against her grandfather's big face.

Zhang Ran's eyes were full of tenderness, "Grandpa missed you too."

Originally, Zhang Ran's heart was a bit gloomy because of Big Sister's situation, but after seeing Susu, his whole heart felt as if it were being illuminated by sunshine, instantly warming up.

Zhang Xiaotao also saw his grandfather at this time, but his game seemed to be at a critical moment, so he just took a nervous look and then went back to playing his own game.

Seeing this, Zhang Ran smiled and shook his head; girls were still more heartwarming.

"Dad, you're back?" Liu Lu also heard the commotion and walked out from the house.

Zhang Ran said, "Yes, I came back after handling things."

"Have you eaten?" Liu Lu asked.

"Not yet. Have you already finished cooking?"

"No, I'm in the middle of it. It's just that there might not be enough rice, so I'll add some more," Liu Lu said.

"Grandpa, Grandpa." Just as they were talking, the game on Zhang Xiaotao's side finally ended, and he ran over.

Zhang Ran pushed against Zhang Xiaotao's little head with some disdain, "You're so dirty, go wash up quickly."

"But little sister has dirt on her too," Zhang Xiaotao said, very dissatisfied.

"Zhang Xiaotao, is your skin itching for a beating again?" Before Zhang Ran could even speak, Liu Lu glared at him, and immediately Zhang Xiaotao cowered like a mouse seeing a cat.
