Chapter 676: 672. Meeting Again (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Wang Ya was already being watched by many people at this moment; looking at Zhang Ran's attitude, it was just like how one would face a younger member of their own family.

"So you are Mr. Zhang Ran. I was wondering why you didn't look like an ordinary employee to me; so that's why," Ai Wei exclaimed in 'surprise'.

She had actually been stunned at first, but she quickly regained her composure; Ai Wei had never really believed from the start that Zhang Ran was an ordinary employee.

Therefore, she accepted it quite quickly. Of course, the main reason was that Zhang Ran had nothing to do with her, so it was easy to accept the change in identity.

Distracted by Ai Wei, Wang Ya also came back to her senses, looked at Zhang Ran, and said, "Zhang Shu, I really didn't expect that you were actually Mr. Zhang Ran."

"Didn't expect what? Do you think I have three heads and six arms?" Zhang Ran joked.

"No, no, it's just that... it doesn't match some of the things on the internet," Wang Ya said.

The information about Zhang Ran on the internet was all of Zhang Ran in makeup, and it was difficult for the average person to connect the two.

Zhang Ran explained a little, then pointed at Liao Wei over there and asked, "What is the situation with your mother?"

Although he had already heard some things from Wang Chao yesterday, he hadn't expected that Liao Wei seemed to have already found a new partner, or rather, had found one long ago.

Wang Ya looked at Liao Wei over there, and her expression instantly turned unpleasant.

"I'm not very clear; she has nothing to do with me," Wang Ya said, her voice sounding somewhat strained.

Zhang Ran could tell she didn't really want to talk about these things, so he didn't ask any more; he would wait to discuss the details later.

While they were still talking, people from Pusi Capital arrived, and Philip said with a smile, "Mr. Zhang, long time no see."

Zhang Ran looked at Philip and also said with a smile, "Philip, long time no see. It seems you finally gave up on your dream."

A bitter smile immediately appeared on Philip's face as he said, "You were right back then. Yes, I have given up on my dream."

Zhang Ran and Philip had known each other for a long time. Back then, Zhang Ran had been optimistic about Philip's talent, at a time when Philip had just started university.

Zhang Ran had offered an olive branch to Philip at that time, but it was clearly rejected.

Philip was young and vigorous back then, and also a super genius, especially with an innate, sharp intuition for financial capital.

Yet, Philip himself liked extreme sports, and his dream was to become an extreme athlete.

At that time, Zhang Ran did not try to persuade Philip too much; although Philip was a genius, Zhang Ran was not lacking in such geniuses.

In the end, Zhang Ran just chatted with him a little and jokingly predicted that he wouldn't continue his extreme sports, because extreme sports were very expensive, and Philip didn't have much money.

Of course, the main thing was that extreme sports were even more destructive to one's body; one slip-up and a person was finished.

Philip had indeed given it up because of an injury from extreme sports. He had only suffered a minor injury, but his companion had lost their life because of it.

So Philip chose to give up.

"What is your relationship with... Kaili?" Philip changed the subject, as he didn't really want to recall the past.

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "She is my niece, the daughter of my good brother."

Upon hearing this, Philip's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "I didn't expect your niece to be in our company. We didn't know before; if I had known, I should have taken good care of her."

Zhang Ran said, "It's not too late to take care of her now."

"You aren't letting her go to Galaxy Capital?" Philip asked.

Zhang Ran did not reply, but instead looked at Wang Ya and said, "Xiaoya, what are your thoughts? If you want to go to Galaxy Capital, I won't say much else, but you can have as much power as you have the ability to wield; I can guarantee that."

"And even at the very worst, you can just slack off at Galaxy Capital."

Upon hearing Zhang Ran's words at first, Wang Ya was indeed somewhat tempted. After all, with such an uncle covering for her, she could fully spread her wings at Galaxy Capital without being affected by trivial matters or other aspects.

But hearing the end, although she could tell Zhang Ran was joking, it still made her dismiss the idea.

Wang Ya knew how much her father valued his friendship with Zhang Ran. This could be seen from the fact that Wang Chao had started making all kinds of preparations a month before Zhang Ran was to arrive, and had even delayed his divorce plans so as not to make Zhang Ran worry too much.

And if she went to Galaxy Capital, it would indeed give her a better and larger platform for development, but relatively speaking, her father might not be able to face Zhang Ran with the same peace of mind as before.

Even though Wang Chao now knew Zhang Ran's true status, as long as Wang Chao had no desires or demands and did not want to ask Zhang Ran for help, their relationship would never change, and Wang Chao could still joke with Zhang Ran freely.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang, but I'll pass. I still want to stay at Pusi Capital," Wang Ya said with a smile.

This time, everyone was a bit surprised. They could tell Wang Ya was serious, and that she wasn't saying this just because Philip was there.

Zhang Ran could guess some of Wang Ya's thoughts, and the smile on his face became even brighter. At the same time, he sighed slightly and said, "You are a good girl. Your dad is truly lucky to have a daughter like you."

He then looked at Philip and said, "For this Fengli Finance project, let Xiaoya participate. Under the same conditions, I will give you priority."

This was a promise given by Zhang Ran. Although this promise was actually not important at all—under the same conditions, who wouldn't choose one over the other?

But in fact, it was also very important, because it could completely reduce a lot of pressure on their side.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang." Philip was overjoyed. He really hadn't expected that a small employee could play such a role.

Wang Ya wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhang Ran.

And just at this moment, a group of people had just arrived, and it happened to be when Zhao Lifeng's speech ended.

Seeing the people who arrived, some had rather strange expressions, especially some of the old-school financial groups.

They knew some of the situation; even if they weren't entirely clear, they could guess a thing or two from the attitudes of Zhang Ran and the Rhode Family.

Yes, the people who arrived were the brother and sister from the Rhode Family, and of course, their respective partners.

At the same time, the looks directed at Qiaosilin's husband were even stranger, because they knew that this world-renowned powerful woman had once been a pursuer of Zhang Ran, and a crazy one at that, making no secret of it to anyone.

Even the people of the Rhode Family had fully supported her back then, but they were rejected by Zhang Ran time and time again.

Now the two of them were reunited, and even at this moment, the look in Qiaosilin's eyes when she first looked at Zhang Ran still carried a hint of excitement and heat.
