Chapter 488: 484. A Visit to Express Gratitude (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets!)

"It's strange to say, but this storybook still has many blank spaces, and I don't even know how I was swindled by that person into buying it directly," Lin Huiqin said.

Qiu Qianyang hurriedly snatched the storybook away, which caused Dabao's dissatisfaction, but he couldn't snatch it back from his father.

After seeing the blank spaces, the smile on Qiu Qianyang's face became even more radiant.

"Son, let's write a story too, shall we? Just write it according to what's on here," Qiu Qianyang said.

Upon hearing this, Dabao immediately became interested. "Can I?" He finished speaking and looked at his father with eager eyes.

"Of course you can," Qiu Qianyang said decisively!

Zhang Ran did not stay here for long, and Wang Chen did not try to keep him, as he also knew that Zhang Ran still had many things to attend to.

Ever since that day, Wang Yicheng's attitude toward Zhang Ran had also changed a lot, becoming somewhat more respectful.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Ran couldn't help but chuckle; it was truly rare for someone of such an advanced age to force themselves to change so much.

However, on the way back, Zhang Ran experienced the feeling of taking a ship again; in any case, this sensation was very uncomfortable for him now.

He did not let Qian Li follow him, but instead had them return by plane first.

On the plane, Qian Li also whispered some things to Zhang Siyan, or rather, some of Qian Li's own requests.

"Siyan, after we go back, why don't you take back some of the authority of our company's Finance Department," Qian Li said.

Zhang Siyan was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Why are you saying this all of a sudden?"

"I'm serious. You should take some back. I know that doing this actually makes things difficult for you, so there's no need for it anymore," Qian Li said earnestly.

"You have a fever." Zhang Siyan still didn't answer, just placing her hand on Qian Li's forehead to see if she had a fever.

Qian Li said, "Siyan, do you know what I was thinking about during those few days?"

"Why bring this up again? Hasn't it already passed?" Zhang Siyan did not want to let Qian Li get caught up in that matter.

Qian Li said, "Siyan, I'm fine. I just want to tell you that, actually, during those few days, I thought about embezzling the company's public funds."

Zhang Siyan said indifferently, "Embezzle if you want to. Anyway, this is our money; isn't my money yours?"

Looking at Zhang Siyan's nonchalant attitude, Qian Li felt both touched and speechless.

"Siyan, if you do this, will you be able to manage a company as large as Kangshilan in the future?" Qian Li said.

"With your help, I definitely can," Zhang Siyan said with a smile, pinching Qian Li's cheek.

Qian Li pouted and finally sighed, "I know you trust me, but I don't trust myself anymore. If this thought could arise once, it could arise a second time."

"To tell you the truth, such great power is also equal to pressure. I'm really afraid that at some point, I might do something I could never forgive myself for."

"Really, Siyan, take the power back. That way, I can also be more at ease."

Zhang Siyan was stunned. Qian Li spoke very seriously, not a decision made on a whim. It was clear that after experiencing this incident, Qian Li truly believed that such power was a burden.

"I don't want us to end up not even being able to be friends. Siyan, you know me. If we eventually part ways, I really couldn't accept that. Siyan, just do this to help me, okay?" Qian Li said.

Zhang Siyan stopped talking and finally sighed, "Lili, do you really want to do this?"

"Yes, this way I can help you wholeheartedly without worrying that I might do something out of line," Qian Li said earnestly.

She had also thought this matter through carefully, because she had truly had that thought before; although it was fleeting, having had it meant it had happened.

She could hide it from everyone, including Zhang Ran, but she could not hide it from her own heart.

The Zhang Family had been so good to her that she truly regarded the Zhang family members as her own kin, no longer limited to just Zhang Siyan.

That was why she made such a request.

"Alright, but Lili, you must remember that we are good sisters. No matter what happens, we are good sisters and will be together for a lifetime," Zhang Siyan said sincerely.

"Yes, good sisters, for a lifetime!" Qian Li was also very serious!

By the time Zhang Ran arrived home, Qian Li had brought her parents over.

Seeing Zhang Ran, Qian Zhengkun was a bit agitated and also a bit guilty. He hadn't expected so many things to happen during this time, and that his own daughter had experienced so much.

"Brother Zhang, I'm sorry, Xiao Li has caused you trouble." Saying this, Qian Zhengkun was about to bow and apologize to Zhang Ran.

Qian Li had not hidden anything from her parents; although she knew this would cause them some worry, Qian Li did not want to hide anything.

Moreover, since she was a child, Qian Li had rarely hidden things from her parents; she said whatever was on her mind, and crucially, she couldn't hide it anyway.

Zhang Ran hurriedly stepped aside and helped Qian Zhengkun up. "Brother Qian, what are you doing?"

"I didn't expect Xiao Li to cause you such great trouble. I am truly sorry," Qian Zhengkun said, full of apology.

Zhang Ran laughed, "Brother Qian, there's no need for this. It wasn't any big trouble, and besides, Xiao Li and our relationship is like family."

"If you say it like that, you're being too much of a stranger, and I'm going to be a bit unhappy."

As he spoke, Zhang Ran put on a stern face.

Qian Zhengkun still wanted to say something, but Zhang Siyan, who was on the side, hurriedly said, "That's right, Uncle Qian. Xiao Li and I are like real sisters; there's no need to be so distant. Besides, when you helped our family back then, you helped a lot. If we put it that way, should my dad also bow and thank you?"

Qian Zhengkun hurriedly said, "How can that be the same thing? It's different. We only did some insignificant little things."

Zhang Ran laughed, "This matter wasn't a big deal to me either."

Since Zhang Ran had said it to this extent, Qian Zhengkun didn't say anything more, but he kept it all in his heart.

The Zhang Family truly treated their Qian Family well. Although they didn't meet very often afterward, every once in a while, Zhang Ran would have Zhang Siyan send things over.

Food, clothing, daily necessities—nothing was missing.

Coupled with this incident, Qian Zhengkun was truly moved in his heart. If this had happened to any other family, no one could guarantee what would have occurred.

This was one hundred million!

What a massive number, but just because Zhang Ran was worried about Qian Li's safety, he transferred it without a second thought. Such a large sum of money would be enough to make many people abandon their own biological children, let alone Qian Li, who had no blood connection at all.

Qian Zhengkun could only secretly resolve in his heart to do his utmost to help Zhang Ran.
