Chapter 495: 491. Imminent (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)

Zhang Ran was not exactly idle at home; although he did not interfere with the affairs of Fengli Group, the matter at hand was of great importance, and Zhao Lifeng would frequently ask for his opinion.

Not only that, but Yaotian Pharmaceutical, Maikai Supermarket, and others also sought him out from time to time regarding various matters.

Although Zhang Ran had never requested them to do so, neither Feng Hui nor Jiao Zhen were the type of people who did not know how to conduct themselves.

Zhang Ran had given them this authority, but how to use it was also a skill.

Zhang Ran said he had washed his hands of it, but they could not truly consider themselves local despots; some key decisions and information still had to pass through Zhang Ran.

Now that the Double Eleven battle was imminent, Maikai Supermarket had also made preparations, and they needed to coordinate their actions.

As for Yaotian Pharmaceutical, they had begun to recover some funds, preparing to support Zhang Ran's actions at any time.

As for the other shareholders, they had no objections to this; doing a favor for Zhang Ran was quite good.

It was the same for Kangshilan; this was the company matter Huo Zhiyuan had mentioned before.

Kangshilan had also begun to tighten its funds, and this time Huo Zhiyuan did not hide it from the other shareholders, making it clear that she intended to fully support Zhang Ran.

This also caused dissatisfaction among some shareholders; after all, this was their money, and they were naturally unhappy about preparing to support Zhang Ran for free.

After all, Zhang Ran had not said he was taking back Kangshilan, and the shares still belonged to Huo Zhiyuan.

Moreover, many people did not know that Kangshilan also belonged to Zhang Ran; they only knew that their Chairman was very close to Zhang Ran.

But that did not mean they could take their money and give it to Zhang Ran to use for free; in any case, the commotion at the time was not small.

However, Huo Zhiyuan's attitude was even tougher; having managed Kangshilan for so many years, Huo Zhiyuan was not someone to be trifled with.

Under Huo Zhiyuan's forceful demand, although these people were dissatisfied in their hearts, they all passed the proposal in the end.

It could be said that everything was ready, and all that was missing was the east wind!

At this time, there were others who felt worried about this; it was none other than Huang Lin's son, Huang Xunceng.

By now, if he still did not know that the person who had been causing trouble for his family was Meng Mingxuan's uncle, Zhang Ran, then he was truly a fool.

But Huang Xunceng also knew that his family's business was not actually their own, so morally, his family had no ground to stand on.

That is to say, no matter what happened in the future, he had no way to blame Zhang Ran.

Huang Xunceng was very clear about this point, so he had been very anxious lately, and he also knew that Zhang Ran was truly not to be trifled with.

Moreover, he could be considered caught in the middle, but he had absolutely no way out.

"Dad." Huang Xunceng called his father.

Huang Lin seemed to understand what he was going to say and said with a smile, "You don't need to worry about anything; this matter has nothing to do with you."

"But..."

"There are no 'buts.' You just need to take care of yourself, and your father is not a pushover. Don't you trust your own father?" Huang Lin interrupted with a laugh.

He had originally wanted to appear confident in front of his son, but who would have thought that Huang Xunceng would honestly say, "Mm."

"What did you say?" Huang Lin's voice suddenly grew louder.

"Dad, can't you and he negotiate? Uncle Zhuo and Uncle Tian have already gone in, I'm worried..." This was what Huang Xunceng was most worried about.

He was not afraid of his father failing; to be honest, their family had enough money, and Huang Xunceng was not a person who liked to indulge in pleasure; he had his own goals to strive for.

He believed that no matter what, even if his father did not earn a single cent in the future, he could still let the family live in abundance.

But he was afraid that Zhang Ran would eventually send Huang Lin in as well; judging from the cases of Tian Yaohui and Zhuo Fan, Zhang Ran definitely had the confidence and the ruthlessness to do so.

Huang Lin fell silent; although he had already 'agreed' with Zhang Ran, he was not sure if Zhang Ran would send him in if Zhang Ran won in the end.

Because in the past, he was the entirety of Huamei, and Zhang Ran had no other people to use; he, Huang Lin, was Zhang Ran's best choice and also his only choice.

But it was different now; Zhang Ran's reputation was growing, and with such a massive force, wanting to find someone to replace him, while not exactly simple, would not be too difficult either.

"You unfilial son, how can you curse your own father like that? Rest assured, I will be fine, and remember this: no matter what, don't you dare harbor any other thoughts." Huang Lin warned at the end.

The affairs of Tian Yaohui and Zhuo Fan had happened right before his eyes; he could not let his son follow in their footsteps.

Huang Xunceng honestly said, "I don't have thoughts in that regard, because from the very beginning, you, Dad, were the one in the wrong."

Huang Lin was instantly choked into silence and hung up the phone angrily.

After Huang Xunceng hung up the phone, the look of worry on his face grew even deeper, but he was helpless.

"Xunzeng, let's go eat." Meng Mingxuan pushed the door open and said, then immediately saw the look of worry on Huang Xunceng's face and knew what he was thinking about.

"Ming Xuan, do you think Uncle Zhang will send my dad to prison too?" Huang Xunceng looked up at Meng Mingxuan.

Meng Mingxuan knew much more about Zhang Ran than he did, so he hoped Meng Mingxuan could give him some hope.

Meng Mingxuan was silent for a moment, then smiled, "Don't worry, it'll be fine. As long as Uncle Huang doesn't do anything too excessive when the time comes, I believe Uncle Zhang won't make things difficult for Uncle Huang."

"Besides, instead of worrying about these things, you'd be better off caring more about company matters; we can now be considered people of the Zhang Ran System."

"Once the company gets on the right track and has great potential, your say in front of Uncle Zhang will increase, and when the time comes, Zhang Ran will value you and consider your opinions more," Meng Mingxuan comforted him.

Huang Xunceng sighed and said, "That's all I can do."

"If it really comes to that point, I beg you to put in a word for my dad." Huang Xunceng pleaded.

Meng Mingxuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll say it again: as long as Uncle Huang hasn't truly angered Uncle Zhang, then I will request it of Uncle Zhang. Don't worry."

With these words from Meng Mingxuan, Huang Xunceng felt slightly more at ease; he knew that Zhang Ran thought highly of Meng Mingxuan, and that Meng Mingxuan's words carried some weight with Zhang Ran.

He then took a deep breath, stood up, went out to eat, and then prepared to devote all his energy to the company.

Just as Meng Mingxuan said, only when his own company showed improvement and had great potential would his own words carry more weight in front of Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran had originally planned to go on the 10th, but being urged by Zhang Sicheng, he had no choice but to go a day early.
