Chapter 647: 643. The Boss of Galaxy Capital Has the Same Name?

Qi Xiaoting herself didn't feel much about this, but she didn't want to stay at home either; her mother, Qi Lin, was simply too strict with her.

So, being able to come to the United States was not bad.

Besides, her dad now had a super-wealthy brother, so there was no shortage of money or anything else.

When the time came, she would just have to act a little spoiled, and her life would be very comfortable.

Upon hearing this, Wang Chao immediately said, "Is that so? Alright, I'll look into it. I'll definitely make sure Xiaoting has a university to attend. By the way, is Xiaoting in her second year of high school this year?"

"Yes."

"That's good, she can take the TOEFL during this year. Also, Liao Wei, don't you know the president of Stanford? Could you ask him to write a letter of recommendation?" Wang Chao turned his gaze toward Liao Wei.

Ever since she sat down, Liao Wei had spoken very little, just silently eating her food, and she had a faint sense of detachment from everyone present!

Yes, everyone—not just Zhang Ran and Gong Nan, but also Wang Chao and Wang Ya.

Hearing this, Liao Wei frowned slightly, then looked at Wang Chao's earnest expression. Not knowing what she was thinking, she hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "I can, but it's a bit troublesome. The TOEFL score can't be too low, and besides, it's not guaranteed that she'll get in."

Upon hearing this, Gong Nan hurriedly said, "Thank you, sister-in-law, but there's no need, I..."

He really wasn't lacking recommendation letters; to say nothing else, he had a big shot right by his side, and he believed Zhang Ran's recommendation letter would be more useful than most people's.

And wasn't there also Prince Haiman?

Although Gong Nan wasn't close with Prince Haiman, Zhang Ran was, and for such a small matter, Gong Nan could still bring himself to ask Zhang Ran.

Liao Wei directly interrupted Gong Nan, saying, "The Stanford president doesn't just write recommendation letters for anyone. I need to use a very large favor for this, so don't miss out just because of a matter of pride."

Liao Wei's expression was very calm, and her tone was also very calm, but it was precisely this calmness that gave people an unusually overbearing feeling, and it even made people feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Wang Chao frowned as he looked at his wife, but quickly, he took a deep breath and said, "Xiaonan, although Liao Wei's words don't sound very pleasant, this really is a very good opportunity.

We are at such an age now, isn't it all for the sake of the children? Besides, my relationship with you doesn't require us to be so calculating. If you really feel embarrassed, just treat me to a few more meals."

When Wang Chao mentioned doing it for the children, Wang Ya's expression shifted slightly; she looked at her father and fell silent.

Watching Wang Chao's sincere expression, Gong Nan naturally knew that his brother was doing this for his own good, but he just didn't know how to explain it.

In his view, there was no need to involve Zhang Ran's identity in their friendship, and Gong Nan also understood that not everyone was as laid-back as he was.

He himself truly had no ambitions, and although he had always been in a weak position at home, in reality, there were very few people who could shake his inner convictions.

Qi Lin also knew Gong Nan's bottom line. The reason they as a couple could live peacefully for so many years was not just because of Gong Nan's constant concessions, nor just because Qi Lin discovered she had fallen in love with Gong Nan; it was also because Qi Lin had never touched Gong Nan's bottom line.

If he were to reveal Zhang Ran's identity, he didn't know what Wang Chao would think, or what his family would think.

Gong Nan knew Zhang Ran's character—he was too sentimental—but precisely because of that, he wanted even less to make things difficult for Zhang Ran because of his identity.

At this moment, he didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Wang Chao hurriedly said, "Xiaonan, just listen to me. Come, let's drink."

Gong Nan felt somewhat helpless, but he didn't say anything more. Anyway, he would be staying here for a while, so he would find a time to talk to Wang Chao about it.

He could also see that Wang Chao and his wife, Liao Wei, were not very close; there seemed to be some estrangement between them.

Zhang Ran kept eating his food without speaking.

"By the way, Brother Ran, Xiaonan, how long do you plan to stay in the United States?" Wang Chao asked expectantly.

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "It will probably take some time. My coming here this time can also be considered a business trip."

"That works out perfectly. You should stay at our house; we still have quite a few empty rooms. It'll be a great chance for us to get together, and you'll be able to save quite a bit of money," Wang Chao said.

Before Zhang Ran could speak, Liao Wei frowned. This was the first time she had shown her emotions so clearly.

"Sorry, how about this instead? I'll book a hotel for you here. I'll cover the costs, and the hotel will definitely be top-notch," Liao Wei said without the slightest hesitation.

Zhang Ran looked at Liao Wei, his expression very calm.

This could be interpreted as her being a corporate elite who didn't understand social nuances, but it could also be said that Liao Wei simply looked down on them from the bottom of her heart, which was why she spoke so directly without any regard for their so-called self-esteem.

Wang Chao suppressed his anger and shouted, "Liao Wei!"

Liao Wei looked at him, her face still very calm, her eyes even calmer. It didn't look like the gaze of a wife toward her husband; there was no anger, no joy, and certainly no love!

"It's fine, it's fine, Chao'er. I'm here on a business trip this time, and the company is covering the expenses," Zhang Ran said with a smile.

Although he also felt uncomfortable inside, he didn't want to cause any more family conflict for Gong Nan because of their affairs.

Seeing that Gong Nan still wanted to speak, Zhang Ran hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I'm working at Galaxy Capital now, and the company is quite generous."

Indeed, with him, the big boss, traveling, who would dare not be generous?

Wang Ya also hurriedly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Uncle, you work at Galaxy Capital? Galaxy Capital has been very impressive lately, having already surpassed our Pusi Capital. What kind of work do you do there, Uncle?"

Wang Ya had only heard Wang Chao introduce them briefly and hadn't even remembered Zhang Ran and the others' names clearly. Perhaps in her heart, these were names not worth remembering carefully.

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "My work is relatively leisurely. I'm quite familiar with the boss, so I'm just drifting along."

Gong Nan and Qi Xiaoting silently said nothing, keeping their heads down to eat.

"Really? You are friends with Mr. Zhang Ran?" Wang Ya was startled, then said with pleasant surprise.

"Zhang Ran? Brother Ran, your boss has the same name as you?" Wang Chao asked in surprise.

Zhang Ran shrugged and said, "Maybe that's why he takes care of me."

Wang Ya worked in this industry, so she knew a bit about Zhang Ran's situation; at the very least, she knew the public information.

However, Wang Chao was a university teacher and didn't care about these things at all; he only cared about his own little world every day.

With Zhang Ran saying that, Wang Ya also lost interest. If that was the case, then there probably wasn't any real connection between Zhang Ran and Mr. Zhang. Perhaps Mr. Zhang didn't even remember this uncle of his anymore.
