~7 min read 1,315 words

Zhang Ran's words made Nakamura Chitian feel the ruthlessness of society; clearly, Zhang Ran was not going to indulge him.

"Mr. Zhang, please, you must forgive Young Master Nakamura; he is still young..." Nakamura Chitian began to kowtow vigorously, which made Huo Zhiyuan, standing to the side, unable to resist taking a few more bites of her apple—mm, crunchy!

Zhang Ran looked at him expressionlessly and said, "You didn't hear what I said."

"Mr. Zhang, everything was my own doing; please, you are a magnanimous person." Nakamura Chitian kept kowtowing to apologize.

Seeing him in this state, Zhang Ran couldn't be bothered to pay him any mind; if he liked to kowtow, let him, it made no difference to him anyway.

"Little guy, from now on, just honestly be an ordinary person. Don't spend every day plotting schemes; it's not good for your growth. Look at your stature now; it's all being stunted by your devious mind," Zhang Ran said to Nakamura Chitian.

Nakamura Chitian stared blankly at Zhang Ran. He knew Zhang Ran would not easily forgive him, so after a moment of silence, he said, "Grandpa Chitian, let's go."

In truth, he had prepared other tricks, but seeing Zhang Ran's attitude, he knew those tricks would be useless.

Nakamura Chitian was still kowtowing, but Nakamura Chitian had already left without looking back.

Seeing that Zhang Ran truly had no intention of relenting, Nakamura Chitian finally had no choice but to stand up helplessly.

He had done everything he could, and at the same time, a sense of despair arose in his heart. Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, he knew that he would definitely not have a good ending upon returning.

Nakamura Chitian left Huaxia that very day. If nothing unexpected happened after he returned, his ambitions for this lifetime would likely end here.

Nakamura Chitian probably never expected that just one moment of greed would lead to such an outcome. If he had known earlier, he probably would have stayed far away from Zhang Xiaotao.

However, none of this was Zhang Ran's concern. He didn't care about a child like Nakamura Chitian at all; the reason he made such a big scene was because of the Wuhe Group.

At this moment, he didn't have much energy or capital to confront the Wuhe Group. Once he recovered from everything, he would see if the Wuhe Group still dared to harbor any crooked thoughts.

"The little ones these days really don't know how they grow up; each one is devious to the extreme," Huo Zhiyuan complained.

Although she wasn't at the scene yesterday, she had heard a bit about it from Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "They come into contact with more information, so they naturally grow up much faster and think more."

"Yeah, compared to them, I feel like I was a fool when I was their age," Huo Zhiyuan said, finishing the last bite of her apple and clapping her hands.

Zhang Ran teased, "You really were silly back then. I truly never imagined you would change so much."

"Hmph, that's because I had less exposure to things, okay? I've always been very smart," Huo Zhiyuan said with a haughty air.

Zhang Ran chuckled twice, then asked, "How is the situation with Siyan?"

"She is very good. Siyan is quite talented in business, and with how hard she has been working lately, she is already doing quite well. It's just that she is a bit too sentimental," Huo Zhiyuan said, calling it as she saw it.

Zhang Ran asked, "What exactly is going on?"

"I won't say much about Xiao Li, after all, Xiao Li has been nothing but good to Siyan. But there is also a college roommate of Siyan's in the company who has been promoted several levels in just a few months. Many people have reported this to me, and I don't know how to talk to Siyan about it," Huo Zhiyuan said.

She also knew that Zhang Ran was very sentimental, but Zhang Ran did not participate in the company's daily operations.

Although he would arrange positions for others in the company, when it came to the overall operation and planning of the company, one still had to listen to the CEO.

This was different from Zhang Siyan's positioning. Zhang Siyan was to control a company in the future, and in Huo Zhiyuan's view, being this sentimental regarding company matters was not good.

Then there was the issue of Qian Li, which was actually a relatively big problem. Currently, Zhang Siyan had handed over almost all the channels in Su Province and Shanghai to Qian Li.

This was not like the previous situation with Huo Li, where the company still maintained a certain level of control over those channels.

But Zhang Siyan trusted Qian Li completely and had handed everything over to her to manage. It could be said that the Kangshilan Company's channels in Su Province and Shanghai were already controlled by Qian Li.

However, Huo Zhiyuan also knew about the relationship between Qian Li and Zhang Siyan, so although she was worried about this, she had never mentioned a word of it in front of Zhang Siyan.

Hearing this, Zhang Ran thought for a moment and said, "Let it be for now. When it comes time to assemble the real core team, you can help screen them again."

"Fine, it's your own family's business anyway, I don't care," Huo Zhiyuan said.

Seeing her put on that act, Zhang Ran found it funny and said, "Then you really won't care? Don't feel bad when it gets run into the ground by Siyan later."

"Hmph, why would I feel bad?" Huo Zhiyuan huffed.

Even though she said that, Huo Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel a bit worried. She kept saying she didn't care about Kangshilan, but Kangshilan was, after all, led by her from the start, and it was something Zhang Ran had entrusted to her; how could she not care?

"Brother Zhang, you only know how to bully me," Huo Zhiyuan said with annoyance when she saw the smile on Zhang Ran's face, knowing he was saying it on purpose.

Liu Lu's foot, which had just stepped into the house, paused again. She always felt that she seemed to return at the wrong time quite often.

"Xiao Lu, what's for dinner?" Zhang Ran smiled and changed the subject.

Liu Lu cast an apologetic look at Huo Zhiyuan and replied, "Braised pork ribs and braised pork belly."

"Why so greasy today? Not on a diet anymore?" Zhang Ran joked.

It wasn't really a joke; the women basically discussed these things every day, and Liu Lu was currently very strict about managing her figure.

Before, it was because she had neither the energy nor the money; now that she had both, women would naturally care about these things.

"Taotao and Susu are having their autumn sports meet, so I'm nourishing them a bit these few days," Liu Lu said.

Zhang Ran slapped his forehead; he had almost forgotten about this.

"I'll take them to buy some sportswear when I go to pick them up later. You can cook a bit later," Zhang Ran said hurriedly.

After saying this, he got up and walked out; he had to go pick up the two children from school.

When he reached the door, Zhang Ran suddenly turned his head and said, "By the way, call Siyan and Xiao Li over for dinner later. It's been so many days since I've seen Xiao Li. Didn't you say she was seeing someone? I haven't seen her bring him over to take a look."

"Alright, I'll tell her right now," Liu Lu replied.

Watching Zhang Ran go out to pick up the children, Liu Lu felt a bit helpless. Why was her own super-wealthy father-in-law so different from other wealthy people?
