Chapter 716: 711. You Carry On (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)
Gu Bo was truly trembling inside; there was no helping it, as the legends surrounding Zhang Ran in the business world were simply too terrifying.
The most critical point was that many people did not recognize Zhang Ran, which led them to offend him or those around him.
The fates of these people were generally not very good.
Therefore, in the Huaxia business world, many people began to subconsciously keep a low profile, especially some of the spoiled brats in their families.
Indeed, most second-generation rich kids are actually relatively high-quality in terms of character and other aspects.
But among them, there are also some who are quite arrogant in personality, and because they have some influence, when facing issues, their first thought is not to avoid them, but to push back hard.
Gu Bo could also be considered a wealthy person, though not exceptionally so, but he knew some inside information, so he had tried every possible way to memorize Zhang Ran's appearance, especially his true appearance.
He hadn't thought of it before, but now, hearing Zhang Ran say these things, he finally remembered who Zhang Ran was.
And now that Gu Bo suddenly heard his wife say she wanted to crush Zhang Ran with money, how could he not tremble inside?
At the same time, he also understood that what Zhang Ran said earlier—that they might not necessarily look favorably upon their son—was not a lie.
This was Zhang Ran's sister-in-law, and now that Zhang Ran was taking the initiative to stand up for her, their relationship must be quite good.
If Zhang Ran really helped Yu Qingyu find a boyfriend according to high standards, there would be a whole crowd of people with better conditions than their family, only that at that time, those people would be going after Zhang Ran's connections and money.
"Are... are you Mr. Zhang?" Gu Bo's tone was trembling slightly.
Zhang Ran was stunned for a moment; he really hadn't expected to be recognized by someone here.
He looked at Gu Bo and said, "I am Zhang Ran."
"Apologies, apologies, Mr. Zhang, we didn't know it was you, truly sorry." After confirming, Gu Bo hurriedly began to apologize.
He really had no guts to go head-to-head with Zhang Ran, even if they still looked down on Yu Qingyu in their hearts—though, of course, mainly due to the age issue—they didn't dare to say much.
To put it bluntly, saying Zhang Ran could make them go bankrupt with one word might be an exaggeration, but if Zhang Ran wanted to do it, then just by relying on normal business means, making them go bankrupt would be easy.
Because Zhang Ran's influence was truly immense, and his network of connections was something many people could not see through.
No one knew if Zhang Ran had other hidden assets.
It might seem like Zhang Ran had nothing to do with real estate now, but what if he did?
And the most important point was that Zhang Ran now had an excellent relationship with the banks; the current Zhang Ran was a hot commodity in the eyes of many banks.
What were they, who worked in real estate, most afraid of?
Of course, it was banks calling in loans!
The debt ratio of real estate is not usually high; if a bank wanted to mess with them, it would be very simple, and the assets of the Gu Family wouldn't be able to influence anything at all.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Haifang saw her husband's cowardly appearance and was instantly enraged.
Gu Bo pulled his wife's arm and whispered, "This is the Richest Person in China."
Zhang Haifang didn't react at first, "Who cares, what is the Richest Person in China..."
After she finished speaking, Zhang Haifang finally realized, and then she met Zhang Ran's half-smiling gaze.
At this moment, the people around here had all heard her voice, and they were all stunned as well.
The person in front of them was the Richest Person in China?
Then that wasn't...
For a moment, everyone's eyes changed.
Although Zhang Haifang was also trembling inside, she had long stopped managing company affairs in recent years, having become a full-time housewife.
It was mainly because her ability couldn't keep up, and plus she trusted Gu Bo, so she didn't care about business matters at all.
This also led to her not having much 'cognition' of Zhang Ran's character, "Even if you are richer than us, matters of the heart cannot be solved by having more or less money." Zhang Haifang's attitude remained very firm.
Zhang Ran said indifferently, "Of course, I think so too. If matters of the heart could be solved with money, do you think your family would have a chance?"
As soon as Zhang Ran said this, Zhang Haifang was instantly speechless.
Before, she had looked down on Zhang Ran in every way; their family was wealthy, and not just anyone could marry into it.
Especially this woman who was about the same age as her.
But now, facing Zhang Ran, their family's money could only be called a drizzle; it was completely not on the same level.
"Hmph, that won't do either, her age is too old, our family does not agree." Zhang Haifang snorted coldly.
Gu Bo stopped talking; although he was also trembling inside, he also didn't want to agree.
Zhang Ran didn't bother with the two of them, but looked at Gu Rui and said, "What are your thoughts?"
Gu Rui was also quite shocked at this time; although he had seen that Zhang Ran's family were not ordinary people, he hadn't expected them to be the Richest Person in China.
And looking at Yu Qingyu's expression, she seemed to be aware of it.
Hearing Zhang Ran's question, Gu Rui hurriedly regained his senses and said loudly and firmly, "I love Qingyu. Regardless of whether she has money or whether she is your family member, I love Qingyu. No one can sway me on this point."
Zhang Ran nodded with satisfaction; this was right, this was the attitude he wanted from Gu Rui.
"That's fine, you two continue holding the wedding; you don't need to worry about other matters." Zhang Ran's tone was very calm, but within that calmness lay an unquestionable aura.
How could Zhang Haifang possibly agree? She was about to shout immediately, but then Zhang Ran said, "You can disrupt this wedding, but I guarantee that next time, you will absolutely not be able to find the place where they are holding the wedding.
And even if they are married, as my sister-in-law's mother-in-law, you wouldn't dare to make things difficult for her; don't really think that we, as the bride's family, are just sitting around doing nothing."
Finally, Zhang Ran said softly, "No matter what conflicts the young couple has, even if they get divorced, we family members shouldn't interfere; that is a matter between husband and wife.
But if they are bullied by others, then I will not stand by and watch."
"Also, if you really fall out, don't think about using any economic means to blockade them; that little bit of money you have is just a joke." Zhang Ran was also not polite at all.
At this moment, he just had to show a tough attitude; he would be the one to play the villain.
As long as Gu Rui treats Yu Qingyu well, then all problems are not problems.
This was also his responsibility as a brother-in-law, after all, he was now the only person Yu Qingyu could rely on.
"You..." Zhang Haifang was furious, but she didn't know how to retort.
Before, she could have chosen to disrupt this wedding and then forcibly take Gu Rui back, but now?
Taking him back was already an impossible thing.
