Chapter 565: 561. Distinguishing Friend from Foe (Please Subscribe and Vote)

Zhang Sicheng and his group formed an interesting solution; since neither side could convince the other, they would use their respective plans to convince the other party.

Therefore, they began preparing their own plans and viewpoints, wanting to persuade some people.

From this, it seems these people's efficiency is truly quite good; if one direction doesn't work, they immediately switch to another.

So, even if Zhang Sicheng fails this time, he will undoubtedly learn many things from this experience.

This is exactly what Zhang Ran wants to see.

However, in this matter, Zhang Sicheng undoubtedly occupies the advantage again, because he has more people on his side.

And Siyan has clearly given up on competing for the position of team leader, so she is also helping her brother with all her might.

The others are fighting their own battles; no one wants to give up this position.

After seeing this scene, Zhang Ran thought for a moment and said, "Each of you can invite one outside helper, with the exception of Zhang Sicheng and Siyan."

Liu Qingyan's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she immediately said, "Mr. Zhang, this is a bit unfair, isn't it? Zhang Sicheng still holds a great advantage here; this is unfair to us."

Hou Xinming and the others all nodded in succession.

Zhang Ran revealed a look that was half-smile and half-not, saying, "My dear niece, don't play mind games with me here. This is actually to your advantage this time; it's not good to push your luck."

Liu Qingyan's eyes flickered upon hearing this, and she immediately said, "Thank you, Uncle Zhang."

Alright, in an instant, even the form of address changed.

Immediately after, she stopped mentioning this matter and instead made phone calls to have people come over, while Zhang Ran also had the hotel prepare separate rooms.

"This is a test of your abilities, and it is also a solution you all negotiated yourselves, so don't use any underhanded tactics," Zhang Ran reminded them.

The underhanded tactics he spoke of meant not to go and find other people to get involved; otherwise, Zhang Ran could help Zhang Sicheng find hundreds of professional teams in a minute.

"Uncle Zhang, we understand," Liu Qingyan said hurriedly.

Having resolved the matter, Zhang Ran stopped worrying about them and let them solve it themselves.

To be honest, Zhang Sicheng really gave him a surprise this time; he hadn't expected Zhang Sicheng to take the initiative to stand up and fight for this team leader position.

The reason Meng Mingxuan stood up and said those things at the time was also because he understood Zhang Ran's thoughts very clearly, which is why he spoke that way.

And the fact that Zhang Sicheng stood up immediately without a hint of hesitation was also beyond Zhang Ran's expectations.

Zhang Ran had actually always known that whether it was Zhang Sicheng or Siyan, neither of them really had much ambition.

In many matters, if they could choose to avoid conflict, they wouldn't fight for it.

But now, Zhang Sicheng has learned to take the initiative to fight for things; this is a good thing!

From this point on, Zhang Sicheng's team can be considered basically formed; regardless of whether Zhang Sicheng wins or loses, he has learned a lot and gained a lot.

However, the development of events once again exceeded Zhang Ran's expectations, especially Zhang Sicheng's choice.

The next morning, Zhang Ran arrived at the conference room, and at this time, the conference room was somewhat quiet.

The expressions of Liu Qingyan and several others were somewhat unpleasant.

At this time, there was a blackboard in the conference room; the voting on it had just ended, and the results showed: Zhang Sicheng three votes, Liu Qingyan two votes, Feng Liumin zero votes, Wang Haijun zero votes, Siyan zero votes, and the rest of the people one vote each.

This means that if Zhang Sicheng gets two more votes, he will immediately become the team leader.

Liu Qingyan didn't expect that she was still a step behind; she had originally thought that she had caught up in the advantage, but she didn't expect that Zhang Sicheng had actually gained a vote overnight.

Feng Liumin chose to give her vote to Zhang Sicheng, and this was not work done by Zhang Ran; it was clearly the result of Zhang Sicheng's own efforts.

"Interesting," Zhang Ran laughed in his heart, then left the place, continuing to let them solve it themselves.

However, after leaving the conference room, Zhang Ran called He Qing out and asked about the situation.

He Qing's expression was somewhat strange, "That vote for Brother Sicheng was from early yesterday morning; he entered Feng Liumin's room, and I don't know what they talked about, but he ultimately got her vote."

Zhang Ran was stunned; what was the situation?

However, he didn't overthink it; Zhang Sicheng wouldn't do such a thing, nor would he dare!

"Forget it, you just keep watching; I'll ask after this is over," Zhang Ran said.

At noon, Lin Mei, Liu Lu, and Gu Panpan went shopping, preparing to buy some things.

Especially some clothes needed for the banquet they were attending tonight.

They hadn't brought these things when they came, but none of them lacked money—well, Gu Panpan lacked money, but she had an older sister who didn't.

Zhang Ran, on the other hand, stayed in the hotel with Prince Haiman, drinking and chatting; they were too lazy to go out.

If Prince Haiman went out, he would be surrounded in a minute, and Zhang Ran was too lazy to go shopping.

"How did it turn out?" Prince Haiman asked, bored.

Zhang Ran told him the results, and Prince Haiman was suddenly surprised, "Sicheng's ability is quite something, he already got a vote in one night?"

"I don't know the specific situation either; I'll ask about it later. By the way, don't follow me to the banquet tonight," Zhang Ran said.

Prince Haiman said indignantly, "What? I haven't even disliked you yet, and you're already starting to dislike me?"

"What are you thinking? I need to go and distinguish friend from foe tonight; this is also one of the main purposes of coming here. If you are by my side, it might bring you some unnecessary trouble," Zhang Ran said.

Although the banquet this time stated that the main invited guest on the surface was Prince Haiman, those in the know actually understood that this was not the case.

For the wealthy in Hong Kong, Zhang Ran's purpose in coming to Hong Kong was actually very clear.

Back when Galaxy Capital was founded, Zhang Ran had greeted quite a few of them.

And back then, Zhang Ran had also stirred up quite a storm in Hong Kong, it's just that as time passed, many people had forgotten.

Now, Zhang Ran seems to have resolved most of the situations on the Mainland; perhaps in Zhang Ran's heart, it is also time to resolve the matter of Galaxy Capital.

But Galaxy Capital is no longer the Galaxy Capital of the past; the interest groups it represents are also different from before.

The reason why Zhang Ran sought out people like Liu Yiguo also included this aspect; otherwise, even if he took back Galaxy Capital, he wouldn't have real control at that time.

Moreover, the difficulty of managing it would increase greatly, and who knows when he might be backstabbed, so Zhang Ran needs to introduce new capital to help him.

Furthermore, it will be much simpler to clean things up when the time comes.

Prince Haiman nodded and said, "Alright, then I won't add to your trouble."

"Hehe, you certainly know how to talk; this is clearly me looking out for you, yet in your mouth, it turns into helping me?" Zhang Ran said with disdain.
