Chapter 849: 843. A Father's Responsibility (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Baoluo currently felt like he was about to explode, yet he had no choice but to hold it in, because he simply had no other way.

Right now, Zhang Ran occupied an absolute advantage, and he, as a professional manager, had no way to resist Zhang Ran at all.

He wanted to use some of the company's rules to make things difficult for Zhang Ran, but looking at Zhang Ran's cold, sharp gaze, he ultimately did not dare to do so.

He could indeed use some of the company's rules to delay the appointment of the position; this was very normal.

But now, he no longer had the guts to do it.

It was truly because Zhang Ran's energy had genuinely frightened him, and he also knew some things that others did not.

For instance, when Zhang Ran dealt with the Whale Shark Organization, he, who could be considered a figure of some standing in South Africa, naturally knew things others did not.

If he truly dared to make things difficult for Zhang Ran at such a time, then he feared Zhang Ran might really harbor murderous intent toward him!

Although it was said that doing so would not benefit Zhang Ran and would instead invite significant trouble, after all, his status was different from that of the Whale Shark Organization.

But who would dare to use their own life as a guarantee?

There was another point that Baoluo considered, which was that once he did this, Zhang Ran might not take action against him due to caution, but what about the Rhode Family?

As long as they could not catch him in the act, then this suspicion would fall squarely on Zhang Ran.

At that time, Baoluo believed the Rhode Family would likely not be soft-handed.

Baoluo was actually clear about all of this; he could choose to help the Rhode Family when they were confronting Zhang Ran and the others, as long as everything followed the rules and regulations, there would be no problem at all.

Because at this time, it was the Rhode Family standing at the forefront, and if what he did could not be faulted, then there would be no issue.

But if the Rhode Family did not speak up, and he instead took the initiative to step to the front, that would be looking for trouble for himself.

The logic was simple: he, Baoluo, simply did not have the qualifications to play against Zhang Ran.

Taking a few deep breaths, Baoluo completely suppressed the anger in his heart, and then began to announce the appointment.

This appointment was passed very quickly, but one point was that the appointment did not specify a person, only letting Yin Long hold the position temporarily for the record.

As for who it would specifically be, that required Zhang Ran to provide the choice.

Zhang Ran actually had a choice, but he still needed to discuss it with Zhang Sicheng.

After the appointment was finished, Zhang Ran did not show excessive pride or arrogance; this was not his personality either.

He was seen directly having people distribute some materials to those present, and then he said: "Everyone, take a look at these materials first; as for how to handle the specifics, we will continue to discuss it in the meeting tomorrow."

Everyone knew this was Zhang Ran's second move and were all somewhat curious; after reading them, their expressions were all somewhat strange.

Zhang Ran was going to use the South Africa Development Bank to directly attack the Rhode Family's main businesses.

They also knew the reason why Zhang Ran was giving them these materials now and holding the discussion tomorrow.

The first was to give them time to investigate the true situation, and the second was for them to choose sides again.

All of Zhang Ran's arrangements were confidential and had not been told to these people; now was also giving them some time.

Of course, most of the people who supported Zhang Ran would still support him, because this did not harm their interests.

And if they withdrew now, they would certainly have to return some of the benefits Zhang Ran had given them.

If this were in the past, they might have thought that no matter what, since the benefits had already been obtained, it would be impossible to make them spit them out.

But now they did not dare to do so; it was still very terrifying when Zhang Ran flew into a rage.

As for the expressions of the Luode Xiongmei, they were both quite ugly, but the things Zhang Ran provided in these materials were indeed things they had done.

If one were to be calculating, it would be very simple to find trouble.

After Zhang Ran finished speaking, he stood up and left; he did not need to start right now, as things needed to be done slowly, and he also wanted to give the Rhode Family some psychological pressure.

He had already let them know the target in advance and specifically given them time; what could they do?

If they failed to resist successfully this time, then in the future, it would not just be the Rhode Family whose mindset would have problems, but their collaborators would be the same, or even worse.

Zhang Ran had specifically given them time to prepare, yet they still could not defend against it; this had a flavor of breaking their spirits, and at that time, the hearts of the people on their side would scatter.

This was Zhang Ran's overt scheme!

Everyone watched Zhang Ran's departing back, all feeling complex emotions for a moment; at this time, they finally felt Zhang Ran's dominance and strength.

Such a scene was one they had never seen before; someone who had just entered their group seemed to have become their center in an instant.

That kind of strength and self-confidence made them feel shocked.

Zhang Ran did not care what these people were thinking; he returned home and then directly contacted Zhang Sicheng.

The candidate for the investment manager on his side was related to Zhang Sicheng, and also related to Zhang Siyan.

There was no one else; it was Liu Ming!

Last time, Zhang Sicheng proposed letting Liu Ming take over Lianhua Security, but it was rejected by Zhang Siyan, and Zhang Ran did not force it.

This time, Zhang Ran proposing to let Liu Ming come here again was actually a kind of test.

The first point was that Liu Ming's ability was indeed quite good; Zhang Ran had already investigated this, and he was originally a talent in this area.

After all, someone was pursuing his daughter; Zhang Ran might not have known at the beginning, but after such a long time, how could he not have noticed? It was just that Zhang Ran pretended not to know.

Later, because of the relationship between Zhang Sicheng and him, Zhang Ran naturally investigated all of Liu Ming's circumstances clearly.

Regarding Liu Ming as a person, Zhang Ran's impression was still quite good.

He had liked his daughter for such a long time and had never changed his heart; after so many years, he had not completely forgotten.

Moreover, he was very good to Zhang Siyan and quite good to Zhang Sicheng as well.

So this time could also be considered a test for Liu Ming.

After all, as a father, he actually hoped that his children would have a perfect home and hoped they could find the other half that suited them.

Zhang Ran was very satisfied with Zhang Sicheng's marriage and was happy for Zhang Sicheng, but things were a bit bumpy on Zhang Siyan's side.

Although Zhang Ran never mentioned these things in front of Zhang Siyan and went along with what she said, as long as Zhang Siyan did not want to get married, Zhang Ran would not force her.

However, Zhang Ran would also make some preparations; if Zhang Siyan had the thought of starting over in the future, then Liu Ming would be a very good choice.

Although this might be a bit unfair to Liu Ming, please forgive the selfishness of a father.

And this time could also be considered a form of compensation from Zhang Ran to Liu Ming.

Given Liu Ming's current situation, he could never hope to reach a position like Chalide's in this lifetime.
