Chapter 532: 528. Zhang Ran

Kong Feifei is thirty-two years old this year, a host for CCTV's personality interview program, and has been hosting for three years.

Becoming a CCTV program host at the age of twenty-nine, Kong Feifei's success was due not only to her outstanding ability and appearance, but more crucially, her outstanding connections.

As a host, one's appearance certainly cannot be poor.

As for connections, her grandfather was the former director of CCTV.

Although she has been hosting the interview program for three years, at this moment, Kong Feifei is still somewhat excited and curious.

It is truly because the person to be interviewed today is a bit too mysterious and low-profile; this should be his first public appearance.

This mysterious Richest Person in China is finally going to show his face today, and she is also very curious.

Compared to some others, Kong Feifei knows a bit more, which she learned from the mouth of her grandfather.

Back in the day, this Zhang Ran had won the CCTV advertising bid king title for three consecutive years and was also the person who significantly increased CCTV's advertising revenue.

It added quite a lot of performance achievements for her grandfather during his tenure, so Kong Feifei's grandfather has a deep impression of Zhang Ran.

And from her grandfather's mouth, Kong Feifei learned a lot of information about Zhang Ran, but the more she knew, the more curious she became.

"Are you ready?" Kong Feifei tidied her attire and asked.

The cameraman and other staff members nodded one after another; they needed to film some exterior shots first.

"Hello everyone, I am Kong Feifei. I believe everyone is very familiar with the person we are about to interview today, yet also very much a stranger to him."

"This name has been appearing by our ears recently; the internet and newspapers are filled with this person's name."

"But many people don't know him, and haven't even seen a photo. I believe everyone is just as curious as I am about the new Richest Person, Mr. Zhang Ran."

"Today, accompany Feifei to get to know this Mr. Zhang Ran and see what kind of person Mr. Zhang Ran really is."

After a simple, articulate introduction, Kong Feifei was the first to stride out with her long legs to lead the way.

"This is an office building in Shanghai, but it is not the location of Mr. Zhang Ran's company, but rather the company of Mr. Zhang Ran's son."

Stepping into the elevator, they soon arrived at the floor where Biaoxue Company is located. Kong Feifei, being tactful, specifically had the cameraman take a close-up of the Biaoxue Game Company name.

Zhang Ran accepting the interview here already made his purpose clear, and Kong Feifei was naturally happy to give him face.

At this moment, the Biaoxue Company receptionist, Xiaoxue, is very nervous.

After just getting off work and going home last night, she received a notice from above, telling her to dress more beautifully today as reporters would be coming for an interview.

Originally, Xiaoxue thought she had already taken it seriously, but when she arrived at the company in the morning and heard that this was an interview from CCTV.

And that her boss was the son of the Richest Person, she was completely stunned, and at the same time, she knew that her outfit still wasn't good enough.

She hurriedly asked for leave, then gritted her teeth and bought a professional suit on the spot; this was something she previously couldn't bear to spend money on.

She also specifically went to a beauty salon to tidy up her hair and put on some makeup.

Seeing Kong Feifei, Xiaoxue was very nervous, but her professional conduct was good; although her calves were trembling a little, she still stood up with a smile to greet her.

After a brief conversation, seeing the camera turn away, Xiaoxue asked in a small, nervous yet expectant voice: "Can I be on TV?"

Although it was filmed, Xiaoxue didn't know if it would make the final cut; what if it got edited out? Then all that money she spent would have been wasted.

Kong Feifei knew her thoughts and said with a smile: "Of course you can. You are the first person to appear, it won't be edited out."

"Thank you, thank you," Xiaoxue said excitedly.

Xiaoxue led Kong Feifei and the others inside. At this moment, the entire office was busy; whether they were truly busy or just pretending, everyone had something to do, and it was a scene of thriving prosperity.

And having received a warning from Wang Tao, they didn't dare to look over here too much, only stealing glances with their peripheral vision.

Soon, Wang Tao came up to greet them and said politely: "Miss Kong, why didn't you say something in advance when you arrived? I could have gone down to welcome you."

"President Wang is too polite," Kong Feifei said with a smile.

After chatting for a moment, Kong Feifei asked: "May I ask if your boss is in?"

She was asking about Sicheng.

Wang Tao said with a smile on his face: "I'm sorry, President Zhang went on a business trip two days ago."

Kong Feifei was a little disappointed, but she didn't say much more. She had been mentally prepared for this; the father is so low-profile, the son probably wouldn't be high-profile either.

Kong Feifei didn't rush to see Zhang Ran, but instead had people start collecting footage here, which would be useful when it airs later.

By the time they finished, it was almost an hour later. Only then did Kong Feifei say apologetically: "Sorry to have kept you waiting."

"It's fine, please follow me," Wang Tao said nonchalantly.

This time they went directly to Sicheng's office, where Zhang Ran was already waiting inside.

After knocking on the door, Wang Tao pushed it open and said: "Mr. Zhang, Miss Kong is here."

Zhang Ran stood up with a smile and said: "Welcome, welcome."

Kong Feifei looked at Zhang Ran and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, sorry to disturb you."

At this moment, Zhang Ran's temples were slightly gray, and he looked to be about forty years old. Not only that, many areas had undergone subtle adjustments; in any case, as long as it wasn't someone familiar, at a glance, one would absolutely not connect him to his previous appearance.

"Miss Kong, please sit," Zhang Ran said with a smile.

He was brewing tea at the time. After Kong Feifei sat down, he didn't rush to talk about business and said with a smile: "Miss Kong, try this tea and see how it tastes?"

Kong Feifei wasn't in a hurry either. After thanking Zhang Ran, she took the teacup and took a sip, then her eyes lit up: "Good tea. Clear, mellow, fragrant, and rich—this is the first time I've tasted tea like this."

Seeing the way Kong Feifei drank the tea, Zhang Ran knew she was a true tea connoisseur and said: "Miss Kong also has a study of tea?"

"My grandfather likes to drink tea, and I lived with him since I was a child, so I understand a little. Of course, I can't compare to Mr. Zhang," Kong Feifei said with a smile.

"I just drink it casually as well."

"Mr. Zhang is being modest. But speaking of my grandfather, I wonder if Mr. Zhang has any impression of him? My grandfather has always kept you in his thoughts, and this time when I came, he also asked me to bring you his regards," Kong Feifei began to bridge the relationship.

Zhang Ran asked in surprise: "Your grandfather is?"

"Kong Zhenguo. I wonder if Mr. Zhang has any impression of him?" Kong Feifei said with a smile.

At first, Zhang Ran really didn't react, but after thinking about it carefully for a moment, he knew.

"So it is Director Kong's granddaughter. Back then, Director Kong took great care of me; when I have time, I will definitely go and thank your grandfather properly."
