Chapter 564: 560. It's Getting More and More Interesting (Please Subscribe and Vote for Monthly Tickets)

In the more than a year that has passed, Zhang Siyan has not just been a mascot; she has truly grown a great deal.

She has experienced countless negotiations, and when she speaks, she is articulate and her tone is quite firm.

It has only just begun, yet everyone is already arguing over the position of team leader; they seem like a pile of loose sand.

However, Zhang Ran is not angry; on the contrary, he is somewhat pleased.

It is better to resolve certain issues beforehand than to have conflicts arise during the execution process.

Zhang Ran gives a dry cough at this moment, interrupting the crowd's bickering, and everyone looks toward him.

A smile appears on Zhang Ran's face as he says, "The choice of team leader this time will be decided by you yourselves; I will not be participating."

"However, I must say something ugly upfront: once the team leader is determined, there must be no feigned compliance in any subsequent actions. This is the bottom line, do you understand?"

Hearing these words from Zhang Ran, Liu Qingyan and the others are all somewhat surprised; they had assumed Zhang Ran would forcefully announce Zhang Sicheng as the team leader, but they did not expect him to stay out of it entirely.

After finishing, Zhang Ran sits in his seat, takes out his phone, and starts playing with it, appearing as if he truly does not care at all.

The gazes of the group meet once again; no one is going to give up on this battle for team leader.

But clearly, Zhang Sicheng's side still holds the absolute advantage for now.

This is simply because they have more people; on Zhang Sicheng's side, there are Zhang Siyan, Bert, Meng Mingxuan, and Qian Li.

They are all of one mind.

The people on Liu Qingyan's side appear to have one more person than Zhang Sicheng's group, but their hearts are not united; six people have six different agendas.

However, these people are also elites; with a mere glance, they understand in their hearts that they need to unite, at the very least to eliminate Zhang Sicheng first.

"Miss Zhang Siyan, I believe you also know that the matters this time are of great importance. We certainly need someone with the ability and courage to lead us. From this perspective, I have not seen any resume of Mr. Zhang Sicheng that is worth boasting about." Liu Qingyan directly seizes upon Zhang Sicheng's weakness.

Zhang Sicheng is actually already quite good, but by comparison, his resume is much lacking.

And to be honest, compared to these people, Zhang Sicheng's ability still has a gap; the time has been too short.

Those who have been able to reach this position, aside from already having some status and standing, certainly do not lack personal ability; it would not be an exaggeration to say they are all geniuses.

Zhang Ran quietly moves his phone away a bit at this moment, wanting to see how Zhang Sicheng handles it.

Meng Mingxuan wants to speak first, but Zhang Sicheng taps the table and says with a calm expression, "I am clear on this point, and I also know that compared to practical experience, I might be a bit lacking. I do not deny this."

Liu Qingyan and the others are somewhat surprised; is he admitting defeat so quickly?

But then Zhang Sicheng says, "However, this time we have a large number of professionals. Although it is said they are operating for us, we actually only need to grasp the direction; the specific tasks do not require us to do them by hand."

"I won't say much about other things, but I have experienced quite a lot, especially the commercial battles of Yaotian Pharmaceutical, Maikai Supermarket, and Fengli Group; I have experienced them all. Moreover, I have thoroughly studied the internal data of these, so by comparison, I should have an advantage in this regard."

Zhang Ran is somewhat surprised; is his own son actually lying?

He has not truly participated in a single one of the things mentioned above; of course, Zhang Ran did have some data organized and handed to him to study afterward.

However, Zhang Ran is quite pleased by this; regarding such matters, Zhang Ran very much appreciates this move by Zhang Sicheng.

Hearing Zhang Sicheng say this, Liu Qingyan and the others are momentarily speechless; Zhang Ran knows the inside story, but they do not.

However, they are not going to give up just like that, and they begin their war of words once again.

Watching the group argue incessantly, Zhang Ran is very happy to watch the show; truth be told, it really is quite interesting.

Zhang Sicheng and Zhang Siyan, the brother and sister, are also revealing their growth in front of Zhang Ran for the first time; if nothing else, this calm debate is something they did not possess before.

Two hours pass without them noticing, and Zhang Ran does not even perceive the passage of time. Watching these people argue incessantly over the position of team leader, while they appear to be divided into only two camps, the situation is slowly changing as time progresses.

Zhang Sicheng is also beginning to intentionally or unintentionally offer some conditions to get some of Liu Qingyan's people to support him.

And Liu Qingyan and these people are also beginning to offer Zhang Sicheng some conditions, or simply trying to sow discord between Zhang Sicheng and Zhang Siyan.

From this perspective, these people really are the elites among elites; to achieve their goals, they truly dare to say anything.

It is just that they underestimate the relationship between these two siblings; never mind that Zhang Ran has never favored anyone, even if he did, he would favor Zhang Siyan more.

Even without that, judging by the life the two siblings have led since childhood, they would not be easily swayed.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, it's time to eat." Zhang Ran's phone rings, but it is on silent mode and does not disturb the group's argument.

Zhang Ran nods toward He Qing and then says in a low voice, "You just watch from here. If there is no result this time, don't let them sleep. Have the hotel send dinner over directly."

He Qing nods to show she understands.

However, at eight o'clock, Zhang Ran receives calls from Liu Yiguo, Xin Youmin, and the others.

They have also learned of the development of the situation, so they call one after another to inquire, while also having a common request.

That is to reduce the voting power in the hands of Zhang Sicheng and his group; it turns out that during the time Zhang Ran was away, Zhang Sicheng and the others had already begun to form a relatively reasonable voting mechanism.

However, this is reasonable for Zhang Sicheng, but unreasonable for the others, so they have started calling to ask for help.

Zhang Ran thinks for a moment and does not object, only saying, "That is fine, but Zhang Sicheng and Zhang Siyan each have one vote; the others don't count."

And this makes the situation in the conference room interesting once again; at the beginning, Zhang Sicheng held an absolute advantage, and Liu Qingyan and the others could still unite.

But now, Zhang Sicheng no longer holds such a large advantage; at most, he has one more vote than them, which is Zhang Siyan's.

Therefore, this temporarily formed group instantly falls apart, and they begin to fight for themselves.

Bert, Meng Mingxuan, and the others turn into Zhang Sicheng's support group, beginning to devise strategies for him.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Zhang Ran goes to the conference room; things have quieted down inside, but it is not over—it has only just begun.
