Chapter 85: 84. Preparing to Buy Cars (Seeking collections, seeking recommendation votes!)

The day after Qian Zhengkun and his friend Zheng Ming showed off, Lao Zheng came knocking again.

This time it wasn't just Lao Zheng, but also some other friends; at first, everyone didn't pay much attention, but then one of their friends unexpectedly fell asleep at Qian Zhengkun's house.

This friend of theirs had suffered from long-term insomnia, and often had headaches and mental lethargy due to the lack of sleep, which had forced him to retire early.

Such an ailment had accompanied him for nearly ten years; he had taken many medicines and seen many doctors, but none could cure it, at most only providing slight relief.

However, while smelling the fragrance of the Fragrant Orchid, he felt his mind was extremely relaxed and slowly fell asleep, sleeping for nearly ten hours; upon waking, he felt exceptionally refreshed, completely free of the discomfort he had experienced in the past.

After Lao Zheng swept through the Shanghai market and found that he couldn't find any Fragrant Orchids at all, he thought about his own pot that he had originally wanted to give to that friend, but firstly, because this was a gift Zhang Ran had given them, it wouldn't be right for them to turn around and give it to someone else.

Secondly, the price was too valuable, and that friend wouldn't accept it; if they wanted to buy one, it would again involve the first point—Qian Zhengkun and his wife couldn't bring themselves to sell a gift that Zhang Ran had kindly given them as a commodity.

This was the reason Qian Zhengkun wanted to buy another pot from Zhang Ran this time; he also wanted to help his old friend.

"Brother Zhang, you... are really generous." In the end, Qian Zhengkun could only say this.

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "These flowers and plants are actually just something hyped up; in reality, they aren't worth much."

Qian Zhengkun just listened to these words; he didn't truly believe that this Fragrant Orchid was worthless as Zhang Ran claimed.

Moreover, he knew that this Fragrant Orchid should belong to something very precious, otherwise, given Lao Zheng's influence in the circle, he wouldn't have been unable to even get news of it.

"Uncle Zhang, why don't you take back the pot of Fragrant Orchid in Siyan's and my rental apartment? It's like having five hundred thousand just sitting in the room, and I feel a bit uneasy," Qian Li suddenly said.

Siyan also nodded in agreement; now that she knew the price of the Fragrant Orchid, she didn't dare to leave it so blatantly in the rental apartment anymore.

Previously, she and Qian Li both thought it was just an ordinary plant, so they didn't care at all and left it carelessly on the balcony every day; now that she thought about it, if it were accidentally broken, it would truly be heartbreaking.

Zhang Ran smiled: "It's fine, just keep it with peace of mind. You've been tired lately, and while this Fragrant Orchid has no other uses, it can at least help you get a good night's sleep."

Once these words were spoken, Siyan and Qian Li subconsciously looked at each other; originally, they had also found it strange, as they had been busy until midnight recently.

But whenever they thought they would be exhausted the next day, they found that upon waking up, they were full of energy and rarely dreamed.

This matter was settled just like that; in a few days, Zhang Ran would send the Fragrant Orchid over, and the price would be five hundred thousand.

Zhang Ran didn't really want to use the Fragrant Orchid to make money; if he really wanted to make money, this five hundred thousand wouldn't be enough.

Liu Lu had been quiet on the side, but she now discovered some changes in herself.

Five hundred thousand—to her, this was a large sum of money; if it were in the past, if she possessed something worth five hundred thousand, she would definitely have kept an eye on it every day.

But now she discovered that, apart from being a little surprised at first, she found that she had actually calmed down very quickly.

In the afternoon, Sicheng went back to work to slack off; at the very least, he had to secure his perfect attendance, and at this moment, he also needed to show himself off a little.

What if that rich second generation who acquired the company sent people to observe them these few days? Whoever performed poorly would be the one made an example of, and he didn't want to be that bird that sticks its head out.

Because Liu Lu had already taken a half-day leave, she didn't go to work, but instead went to the new house to supervise the renovation.

The speed of the renovation was very fast, and every time Liu Lu went over, she found big changes.

As for Qian Li and Siyan, they continued to be busy; their careers had just gotten on the right track, and they couldn't slack off at this time.

Zhang Ran, meanwhile, had come to see Ming Xuan.

"How is it? Any progress?" Zhang Ran asked, sitting in Ming Xuan's boss chair.

Ming Xuan said: "It's almost done; thirty million can definitely secure it, and I estimate it will take about a week."

Zhang Ran nodded and asked again: "What about the Game Club matter? How are they preparing over there?"

"They have already started preparations; some people have already established a company and have also poached a few people in the industry." Ming Xuan had some understanding of these things.

"Do you want to get involved? Don't underestimate this Game Club; if it's run well, the profits inside won't be small," Zhang Ran said.

Ming Xuan shook his head and said: "I won't get involved; firstly, I have no interest, and secondly, I estimate I won't have time to manage it in the future."

He was very clear-headed now, knowing that in the future, Zhang Ran would definitely have more and more things for him to handle; he needed to constantly learn and improve to keep up with Zhang Ran's pace.

Two days ago, his mother had specifically called him to talk about this matter; although Lin Meizhi didn't say much, the implication was that if possible, he should keep following Zhang Ran and not fall behind halfway.

"By the way, Uncle Zhang, Wang Tao's intention is that he doesn't want to continue staying in the company, especially as a deputy; for someone like him who was originally the company boss, this is a very uncomfortable thing, so he plans to rest for a period of time after selling the company," Ming Xuan said.

Wang Tao was Sicheng's boss.

Zhang Ran said: "Then tell him, if he doesn't agree to this condition, then this acquisition will be called off; I believe there is no one else willing to pay so much money to acquire his company now, right?"

Ming Xuan nodded and said: "Yes, although our price isn't high, there aren't many people interested in his company; many are prepared to buy some things from his company piecemeal, not like us who are acquiring the whole thing."

"That's fine then, tell him directly; this is the final condition, and at most it only requires one year of his time; after one year, he can do whatever he wants," Zhang Ran said.

Ming Xuan nodded: "I understand."

"Do you know anyone at a 4S dealership? I'm planning to buy a few cars, preferably ones I can take delivery of on the same day," Zhang Ran asked suddenly.

"That little fatty Pang Bo's family runs a 4S dealership. When are you buying the cars? I'll have a word with him, and the license plates can also be handled for you."

"Three days from now; I'll go buy the cars in three days," Zhang Ran said.

After finishing his business with Ming Xuan, Zhang Ran tidied up and prepared to go pick up the two little ones from school.
