Chapter 556: 552. The Galaxy Capital is Mine (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)
After receiving the message sent by Li Cheng, Zhang Ran immediately had someone make proper arrangements for his family and the family of Scorpion.
Zhang Ran did not come forward personally, but He Qing represented him.
That evening, Scorpion received news from home; maintaining contact with his family was very troublesome, and they only reached out for major events, such as his eldest sister getting married or a relative passing away.
But Scorpion had missed all of these.
"Mom, how have things been lately?" Scorpion said in a relaxed tone.
His mother smiled and said, "Very well. How about you? How have you been eating out there? Have you lost weight? When are you coming back?"
His mother asked this question every time, and every time Scorpion would only answer the first two.
"I'm eating very well, I've even gained a lot of weight," Scorpion said.
"Mom, why did you call?" After chatting for a bit, Scorpion took the initiative to ask.
"Oh, right, someone who said they were your friend came by today. The young lady is quite pretty; you should keep in touch with her," his mother urged.
Scorpion was stunned, then immediately thought of the new boss Li Cheng had mentioned, and his heart stirred. "Mom, what did she say?"
"She wants your younger brother to work at their company, saying it's a regional management position, and that it was all arranged by you," his mother said.
Scorpion immediately said, "Yes, Mom, let Little Brother take the job. Did they mention the compensation?"
His mother said, "They did, but it's a bit much. Although your brother is a university graduate, he just graduated; will this delay their work?"
"How much are they paying?" Scorpion laughed.
"They said an annual salary of one million, with one month of vacation every year." His mother's tone was still somewhat proud; this was pride for her eldest son.
Although this was only possible because of connections, the more that was the case, the prouder his mother felt.
Scorpion was stunned. So generous?
But thinking about what he was about to do, he felt relieved.
After chatting a few more sentences, he did not ask about the company's situation; there was no need to pry, as whether he could survive this time was still an unknown.
But with this arrangement, he could finally be completely at ease.
Since Li Cheng trusted the new boss so much, it meant the new boss was reliable. Regardless of whether he lived or died, his younger brother's job was secure.
An annual salary of one million was enough to support their family for a lifetime.
Over the next two days, the members of Lieqing who had families or other needs were all satisfied one after another.
Zhang Ran had Prince Haiman find people to handle it directly; Zhang Ran still had confidence in Prince Haiman.
And with Prince Haiman intervening, it would be impossible for ordinary people to investigate.
So this also left a layer of protection for their families.
From this matter, Scorpion and the others also saw the new boss's influence and generosity. Of course, at the same time, they were all prepared for death.
After Zhang Ran finished handling the matters, he stopped worrying about them; nothing could be rushed, it all needed to be done slowly.
"Thanks. By the way, when are you coming over this year?" Zhang Ran said with a smile.
Prince Haiman said grumpily, "Can't you come over instead? I invited you during the New Year, and you kept making excuses."
Zhang Ran said, "I have no choice, but I will be going out next year. If I have time then, I'll go to your place to take a look and pay a visit."
Prince Haiman had only said it casually, but he didn't expect Zhang Ran to really be coming out. He was slightly stunned and said, "Is there something going on?"
"Hmm, just some small matters," Zhang Ran said with a smile.
Prince Haiman said, "If you have time, don't stand on ceremony with me."
"I won't, don't worry," Zhang Ran said with a smile.
On the 12th, Zhang Ran arrived in Beijing and moved back into his large Siheyuan.
That same day, people from above came to find him to inform him of the meeting's agenda and to ask for his opinions.
"Mr. Zhang, do you have anything you would like to say for the second day's speech?" the visitor asked.
Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Let's skip that. Someone like me who has been out of touch with the times for so long has nothing to say; I won't waste everyone's time."
The visitor was speechless. Are you being modest or bragging?
However, he did not ask too much; the intention from above this time was also to see what Zhang Ran himself thought.
After chatting for a few sentences, the visitor left, though they were still somewhat shocked by the large courtyard when they departed.
On the morning of the 13th, after Zhang Ran put on his makeup, he went to attend the grand meeting.
When Zhang Ran arrived, many people quickly surrounded him. This was the Richest Person in China, after all; it was necessary to build a good relationship where possible.
"Mr. Zhang, you've arrived?"
"Boss Zhang."
Zhang Ran also smiled and greeted everyone, while simultaneously looking for certain people to start chatting with. He had his own goals this time; otherwise, he wouldn't have attended this event at all.
Soon the meeting began. The first day actually had nothing much to say; it was all fairly standard speeches, discussing the country's future development trends and some planning within the industry, etc.
The following days were when everyone could speak their minds, as they asked for the government's opinions on their respective industry issues and views on the industry.
Zhang Ran also said a few words at the meeting, but he didn't say too much; after all, he hadn't truly participated in managing a company himself.
Once the meeting was almost over, Zhang Ran also began preparing to invite people over as guests.
His goal this time was to find people to cooperate with, not just private enterprises, but also State-owned Enterprises.
At noon on the 17th, Zhang Ran stood at the gate of the Siheyuan to welcome his guests.
"Zhang Ran, you really have an eye for things. You secured this place back then; it really makes people envious now." Xin Youmin had arrived early, and seeing this courtyard, he felt many emotions.
Envy was a given; a courtyard like this couldn't be bought with money nowadays.
Zhang Ran laughed, "Anyway, I don't stay here for long. If Brother Xin wants to experience it, you are more than welcome to come and stay for a while."
"Forget it, I can't enjoy that kind of blessing. If I moved in on the first day, I'd be under investigation by the second. I won't go through that trouble," Xin Youmin said, waving his hand.
"By the way, what exactly is the matter that you called us here for?" Xin Youmin asked.
"A good thing."
"How big of a good thing is it?"
"Extremely big."
Xin Youmin saw that Zhang Ran still wouldn't let anything slip and was somewhat speechless, but he couldn't be bothered to say anything else, only saying: "You also know my situation; if the matter is of great importance, I cannot make the final decision."
"Understood, I believe the higher-ups won't miss out on such a good thing either," Zhang Ran laughed.
Xin Youmin did not go inside either; instead, he stood to the side and greeted guests together with Zhang Ran, but upon seeing who was arriving, Xin Youmin felt somewhat stunned in his heart—what exactly was this all about?
