Chapter 638: 634. Hospital Opening (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)
Zhang Ran was also chatting in a group with Wang Chao and the others; these few were all his childhood friends, so the conversation felt quite casual and relaxed.
"By the way, Little Chao, how old is your daughter?" Zhang Ran asked curiously.
He knew Wang Chao had a daughter, but he didn't know the specific details.
"She just graduated from university this year and started working; she's currently interning at Pusi Capital." Mentioning his daughter, Wang Chao felt a little proud.
"Interning? Didn't you study all the way to a doctorate? How is your daughter already this old?" Zhang Ran was a bit puzzled.
Wang Chao was silent for a moment, then smiled: "I got married when I was in university, and my daughter was born right after I graduated."
Zhang Ran realized: "So that's how it is. By the way, what does your niece like? I should prepare a gift for our first meeting."
"She's like her mother, a career woman type; she doesn't have any special preferences. Just buy her something random when the time comes, or if all else fails, just buy a couple of stuffed dolls," Wang Chao said.
He didn't refuse the offer of a gift for his daughter, as it was their first meeting after all.
"By the way, Brother Ran, are your son and daughter coming over this time?" Wang Chao asked.
These old friends basically knew the basic situation of Zhang Ran; although they didn't know his true status, Zhang Ran hadn't hidden his family situation from them.
"They have some things to take care of at home, so they won't be coming for now. I'll bring them over when I have time," Zhang Ran said.
Zhang Sicheng and Zhang Siyan both had many things to do recently and couldn't get away.
Wang Chao didn't mind and said casually: "That's fine, I'll prepare some gifts for my niece and nephew then. By the way, Xiaonan, what does your daughter like?"
"Her? She just likes to play," Gong Nan said.
"Then I'll take you all out for some fun when she comes over," Wang Chao said.
Time slipped by just like that. Zhang Ran seemed very leisurely at home, but in reality, he had many things to do.
Fortunately, Zhang Sicheng and Zhang Siyan were both slowly growing up now; although they couldn't help with major matters, they were already able to help handle some small tasks.
The matter of the South Africa Development Bank was still in preparation; it was of great importance, and even Zhang Ran, who always liked a fast pace, had to slow down.
Yin Long had been staying in South Africa for some time recently, so busy he couldn't even touch the ground.
Time arrived in May, and Liu Lu's private hospital was finally about to open.
On this day, Zhang Ran also helped prepare a gift.
Meilu Plastic Surgery Hospital.
Sun Lin, Wang Jiajia, and the others felt a bit uneasy; with the opening imminent, they were all feeling nervous.
Although they were just employees, they had resigned from their original jobs, and now they were relying on this hospital for their livelihood.
For Liu Lu, this hospital might just be a way to pass the time, but for them, it was their future career.
If the hospital business was good, their income would increase accordingly; if the business was bad, who knew when Liu Lu might just close the hospital—it was impossible to keep subsidizing it forever.
"Do you think we will succeed?" Sun Lin said nervously.
Although she had felt that working for the daughter-in-law of the richest man would definitely be good, now that it was happening, she couldn't help but feel nervous.
Her family had just bought a house, and the monthly mortgage alone was 15,000; her husband's salary was indeed not low, but there wasn't much left after paying the mortgage.
If her job here fell through, her husband's pressure would be even greater.
"Don't worry, it'll be absolutely fine. Don't forget who Liu Jie is," Wang Jiajia said, full of confidence.
"Right, it'll definitely be fine," Sun Lin said, cheering herself up.
The hospital's luxurious renovation and equipment were not lacking in the slightest, and as for all the medicines, regardless of anything else, there was not a single problem regarding safety.
Zhang Ran had specifically found people to manage this and had not let Liu Lu intervene.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Liu Lu, but he was afraid that Liu Lu lacked experience and trusted people like Wang Jiajia too much, leading to problems in the end.
Zhang Ran didn't care about losing money, but if a problem occurred, it would be a lifelong issue for the victim, and that was something Zhang Ran would not allow.
Soon, the place opened. Promotion had started long ago, and some promotional flyers had been distributed for a while.
The discounts at the time of opening were quite large; it was truly operating at a loss.
This also attracted some people.
At the opening, Zhang Ran and his whole family arrived, but they didn't make a big scene; they just prepared some flower baskets and the like.
Seeing Zhang Ran come in person, Sun Lin and the others felt a little relieved. This proved that the richest man still valued this hospital; at the very least, it hadn't reached the point of being ignored, which was also a guarantee.
Zhang Ran treated these people with a smile and occasionally chatted with them for a few sentences.
"This beautiful lady, please come this way," Sun Lin said, greeting guests with a face full of smiles.
The opening ceremony was still being held, but some people had already come early with flyers.
In a short while, nearly a dozen guests had gathered, clearly attracted by the discount.
However, many of these people were actually suspicious in their hearts because the discount was too large, so they were just planning to come and see the situation first today.
"Do you think this hospital is actually any good? The discount is so big, don't tell me they're all inferior products?" a beautiful woman said suspiciously.
"I don't know, let's take a look first. I've had this done so many times, I still have some experience; we'll know once we see it," someone said.
"Right, let's look first, and if it's no good, we'll just leave."
Just as they were chatting, some banners and flower baskets shocked them so much their jaws dropped.
"Madam Liu, wishing you a prosperous business!" This was a fruit basket sent by a representative of Fengli Group.
If these words were said at the opening of other hospitals, they would probably be cursed to death, but for a plastic surgery hospital, it didn't matter; after all, this wasn't an illness, but a gathering place for people who love beauty, and coming or not didn't affect one's personal health.
"General Manager Liu, this is a flower basket sent by our General Manager Feng. General Manager Feng has been a bit busy recently and couldn't come in person, so please forgive him." This was a representative from Yaotian Pharmaceutical.
"General Manager Liu.........."
The heads of all the industries under Zhang Ran had sent representatives to deliver flower baskets. This wasn't because Zhang Ran had asked them to prepare them, but because they had prepared them themselves.
After all, this was their Big Boss's daughter-in-law; sending a gift for the business opening was the bare minimum.
Not to mention showing their faces in front of the Big Boss, at the very least, they shouldn't let the Big Boss's daughter-in-law hold a grudge. They didn't know Liu Lu's personality, but doing this was definitely the right thing to do.
Not only that, but some other bosses who heard the news also sent gifts, such as Weiteng Group.
