Chapter 682: 678. Liu Lu Wants to Come and Inspect the Market (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Wang Ya pointed at Huo Zhiyuan and Qiaosilin and said, "Although you are indeed younger than them, looking at it from the surface, they aren't much older than you."

"Besides, Chinese people have a certain trait: they age slowly, at the very least slower than you people from Europe and America."

"Plus, with their wealth and status, what do you have to compete with them?"

For every word Wang Ya said, Ai Wei's expression dimmed a little more, and finally, she sighed and said, "Kaili, can't you encourage me a little? Do you have to strike me down like this?"

Listening to Ai Wei's mournful voice, Wang Ya said calmly, "I'm not striking you down, I'm being realistic. I'm also helping you, helping you get rid of such unrealistic fantasies sooner."

"What if it comes true?" Ai Wei said, unconvinced.

"There is no 'what if'!"

When Wang Ya returned home, her heart still couldn't calm down; the impact was simply too great.

The moment she saw her father, Wang Ya couldn't help but say, "Dad, do you know who I saw today?"

Wang Chao was sitting on the sofa watching TV at the time; hearing this, he looked up and said, "Who?"

Before Wang Ya could answer, he continued on his own, "Right, have you eaten your fill? I'll go make you something. You definitely haven't eaten enough; how could you possibly get full at a banquet?"

As he spoke, he got up, intending to go cook.

"Dad, aren't you even a little curious? Also, I'm really not hungry; I need to lose weight," Wang Ya said.

Wang Chao said casually, "What would I be curious about? You aren't even fat, why lose weight?"

Wang Ya was speechless at her own father; why did he always answer with things unrelated to the questions she asked?

Wang Ya simply stopped playing coy and said directly, "Dad, do you know Uncle Zhang's identity?"

Wang Chao nodded and said, "I know."

Wang Ya was stunned. He knew?

"I'm talking about his other identity, his real identity," Wang Ya thought Wang Chao was talking about other aspects of Zhang Ran.

"Isn't he just the boss of Galaxy Capital?" Wang Chao said casually.

Wang Ya was truly stunned. Her father really knew?

"Then you previously..." Wang Ya couldn't help but say.

Wang Chao's eyes revealed a hint of smugness at this moment; he was actually just putting on an act earlier, wanting to show his daughter that he was a well-informed father.

"What did I do previously?" Wang Chao said, feigning composure.

"Aren't you even a little surprised or nervous? This is one of the top ten richest people in the world, the kind whose wealth rivals a nation!" Wang Ya's voice grew louder.

Wang Chao laughed, "No matter how much his wealth rivals a nation, he is still my brother, and I don't ask him for anything."

"Alright then," Wang Ya had nothing more to say.

However, she immediately recounted what happened today. After listening, Wang Chao said, "This is your Uncle Zhang intentionally looking out for you, but you must not cause your Uncle Zhang any trouble because of it, understand?"

"I understand," Wang Ya answered very earnestly.

"Also, that... Uncle Zhang seemed to give my mom a cold shoulder, this..." Wang Ya hesitated before saying it.

Wang Chao fell silent upon hearing this, then said with a smile, "It's fine. In a while, I'll be divorced from your mother. You're grown up now anyway, so you probably have an idea of things in your heart."

Wang Ya said, "Dad, you've worked hard all these years."

"It's not hard work. Dad only has you as a daughter; no matter how hard it is, it's fine."

After Zhang Ran returned, he played with the four little ones. The four little ones didn't show any signs of being homesick at all.

Last night, when Zhang Sicheng video-called, he asked if they missed him. Although all four little ones said they did, it was obvious their attitude was very perfunctory.

This made Zhang Sicheng's heart feel a bit sour.

"Why are you video-calling again?" Zhang Ran said, looking at Zhang Sicheng on the screen, sounding annoyed.

Zhang Sicheng felt very aggrieved.

"That, Dad, Liu Lu and Siyan want to go to the United States tomorrow. Do you think that's appropriate?" Zhang Sicheng said.

Zhang Ran was stunned, "Why are they coming over? Is there something going on?"

"Didn't Liu Lu open a plastic surgery hospital? The hospital's business is exceptionally good now, and she has expanded into some other services. Some medical equipment needs to be imported from Europe and America, so Liu Lu wants to go and inspect things."

"Siyan is going along to keep her company; after all, she hasn't been abroad before," Zhang Sicheng explained.

Zhang Sicheng knew Zhang Ran had affairs in Europe and America, so he had to ask for Zhang Ran's opinion on everything he did beforehand.

Zhang Ran thought for a moment and said, "They can come. Let me know when they arrive, and I'll go pick them up at the airport."

"Alright, then I'll tell Liu Lu when I get back tonight," Zhang Sicheng said. He was still at work at the time.

Liu Lu had this idea and had mentioned it to Zhang Sicheng, but she only mentioned it; she didn't want to cause her father-in-law any trouble.

"Right, how are you handling things with Li Yiting?" Zhang Ran asked.

Mentioning business, Zhang Sicheng became serious, "Dad, we have been jointly suppressing Youjia Grain and Oil Group recently, and the results are quite good. But Youjia hasn't made any moves, which makes me very suspicious."

"Also, Li Yiting has started transferring assets abroad, but I haven't figured out the specifics yet."

"Additionally, Youjia has increased its occupation of some foreign markets..."

Zhang Sicheng stated the situation he had grasped. Zhang Ran had many things on his plate and couldn't spare the attention for Li Yiting right now.

Moreover, Zhang Ran didn't take Li Yiting seriously, so it was a good opportunity to let Zhang Sicheng get some practice.

After listening to Zhang Sicheng, Zhang Ran didn't say much, nor did he offer any advice, just saying faintly, "Just make your own decisions."

Although he said that, the corners of Zhang Ran's mouth curled into a smile. What Zhang Sicheng did wasn't exactly stunning, nor were there any bright spots.

After all, Zhang Ran had left him too many trump cards. As the crown prince of the Zhang Family, even if he wasn't involved in the management of the Zhang Family, some of his words still carried a lot of weight.

Everything Zhang Sicheng did was by the book, but that was exactly what made Zhang Ran very satisfied. While such a Zhang Sicheng couldn't expand the business, he was a good seedling for maintaining what was already there.

"Do you want to chat with your son for a bit?" Zhang Ran said.

Zhang Sicheng really wanted to talk to Zhang Xiaotao, but he knew it was best not to talk at this time, because it was very easy to lose face.

"No, I have things to do here. Dad, you go ahead and get busy," Zhang Sicheng said, then hung up the phone.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, come here quickly," Zhang Xiaotao's voice called out.

Zhang Ran replied while walking over; playing with the little ones could also make Zhang Ran's mood better.

They played until twelve o'clock, and only then did the four little ones get sleepy.

Unlike Zhang Xiaotao, Susu had to video chat with her mother every night, and no matter how late it was on Zhang Siyan's side, she would wait until her daughter was going to sleep, then keep the video call on to fall asleep together with Susu.
