Zhang Ran also received a call from Wang Chen that evening.
"Mr. Zhang, I have handled everything according to your requirements," Wang Chen said with a smile.
At this moment, his mood was also incredibly complex; in the afternoon, he had received a call from Zhang Ran saying that Qiu Qianyang and Mu Jinyuan would come to see him that night, telling him to ask for as many benefits as possible and then agree to the other party.
At that time, Wang Chen still felt some confusion in his heart; although he had some guesses, he dared not believe his guesses were true.
But when Qiu Qianyang and the others really came and offered conditions according to the requirements, at that moment, Wang Chen was deeply shocked in his heart.
He didn't even dare to look at Qiu Qianyang much, only occasionally unable to help but take a glance, terrified that he might accidentally reveal some flaw.
It was easy to guess how Zhang Ran had obtained the information, and yet he had still asked him to do this.
Zhang Ran said, "Thank you, Elder Wang. You have done me a great favor this time; I am very grateful."
"It is just something within my power, it is nothing. And even without me, I believe Mr. Zhang would still have been certain of success," Wang Chen said sincerely.
After guessing the situation regarding Qiu Qianyang, Wang Chen actually understood that Mu Jinyuan had always been under Zhang Ran's control, or perhaps it was more accurate to say, under the Zhang Ran System.
After saying this, Wang Chen tentatively said, "Mr. Zhang, after this is over, I will return those four casinos to Boss Qiu."
Zhang Ran smiled and said, "No need to return them; consider these as compensation for Elder Wang."
Zhang Ran was never stingy toward those willing to help him; for those who helped him, Zhang Ran would absolutely never let them suffer a loss.
However, Wang Chen felt a sense of shock in his heart, not because of Zhang Ran's grand gesture, but because Zhang Ran could agree to this matter directly without going through Qiu Qianyang.
This could prove many things.
Zhang Ran had disappeared for twenty-eight years, yet there were still people willing to charge into battle for him after his return!
Meng He was like this, and Qiu Qianyang was even more so!
One must know that these were not just two simple people; which one of them did not have a net worth of hundreds of millions!
Taking this step was equivalent to handing over half or even more of their net worth to Zhang Ran; was this something anyone could do?
Although Wang Chen did not know Qiu Qianyang's identity now, he knew that Qiu Qianyang must have been a person of the Zhang Ran System back then.
So even though Zhang Ran had disappeared, the Zhang Ran System still existed and still possessed enormous influence.
It was just that there had been no leader before, so it appeared disorganized.
"I really envy Mr. Zhang," Wang Chen remarked with a sigh.
Zhang Ran said softly, "I also envy myself."
How could he not envy himself?
He could accept and guess the choices of people like Tian Yaohui, but the choices of Meng He and Qiu Qianyang were what actually surprised and moved Zhang Ran.
Having said that, Zhang Ran turned the topic back.
"Elder Wang, I have another favor I would like to ask of you," Zhang Ran said.
Wang Chen immediately said, "Mr. Zhang, please feel free to say whatever favor you need."
At this moment, he actually didn't even want those four casinos anymore, because he needed to build a good relationship with Zhang Ran for his sons.
He also believed that as long as the sentiment with Zhang Ran remained, then no matter what happened to Qiu Qianyang in the future, they would not choose to move against his Wang Family.
Unless his sons actively courted death and exhausted this sentiment; if they were truly stupid enough to do that, then keeping the family business would only harm them.
It was not that he didn't think highly of his sons, but that the facts were just so.
In the past, these juniors combined were not enough to be a match for Qiu Qianyang alone, and now Zhang Ran was standing behind Qiu Qianyang.
If Qiu Qianyang really set his mind to it and persuaded Zhang Ran, then Wang Chen truly had no confidence at all; he knew exactly what his sons were like.
The only one who was halfway decent was Wang Yicheng, but in reality, he was just so-so; he really couldn't compare to people like Qiu Qianyang who had climbed to this height from the bottom, whether in terms of methods or ruthlessness.
Just like himself, he had also climbed to this position from the bottom; he knew what kind of hardships he had experienced, and being able to walk through those hardships meant many things.
"Elder Wang, do you know any media?" Zhang Ran said.
"I do. We have good relationships with the media. Mr. Zhang, you should know that in our line of work, our reputation cannot be ruined, otherwise we are finished."
"And the media are the people we cannot offend the most, so we have good relationships with all the major media in Hong Kong and Macau." Wang Chen was quite confident about this point.
"Furthermore, no matter what, the vast majority of them dare not offend us. They can decide our reputation, but we can also decide their future; after so many years, few of them are clean."
Saying this was laying his cards on the table for Zhang Ran, and it also showed his sincerity.
Zhang Ran felt his sincerity and smiled, saying, "Then thank you, Elder Wang. If there is time, I will invite the young masters of the Wang Family to dinner."
"It would be an honor," Wang Chen felt a surge of joy; his goal had been achieved.
Subsequently, Zhang Ran stated his request, which was also very simple: he wanted Wang Chen to personally speak about the events of that year, especially regarding Galaxy Capital.
"Mu Jinyuan wants to raise funds from the public, and the preparatory work has already been completed," Zhang Ran said simply at the end.
Wang Chen also understood Zhang Ran's goal, and in his heart, he felt a bit of pity for Mu Jinyuan.
All of his cards were clearly understood by Zhang Ran, and even one of his trump cards was actually on the other side's team; what did Mu Jinyuan have to fight Zhang Ran with?
After chatting a little more, Zhang Ran finally said, "Elder Wang, I wasn't very clear about Qiu Qianyang's situation before, so I apologize for what happened last time."
Wang Chen knew what he was referring to; it was the gambling incident last time.
"Mr. Zhang is too polite. That time, I participated of my own accord, and I also gained quite a bit," Wang Chen said.
Zhang Ran didn't say much more; it was enough to explain the matter, as saying too much would be counterproductive.
After chatting for a few more sentences, Zhang Ran hung up the phone and immediately started a video call with the two little ones; the two little ones wanted to video chat with him every day and were very clingy to him.
Zhang Ran also liked to chat with them more before going to sleep every day; his spirit, exhausted from the day, became a bit more relaxed.
Listening to Zhang Xiaotao whispering his complaints, Zhang Ran listened with a faint smile on his face; the little one's complaining was quite interesting.
Susu, on the other hand, was telling her grandfather about some happy things, and finally, she very considerately asked if her grandfather was tired.
It is no wonder people often say that a daughter is a little padded jacket; not only are daughters like that, but granddaughters are too.
