Chapter 853: 847. Innate Skill (Please Subscribe and Vote for Monthly Tickets)
Zhang Sicheng and Liu Lu, this couple, could be considered one playing the bad cop and the other the good cop; they had thoroughly figured out Liu Ming's thoughts and also clarified many matters.
For instance, Zhang Ran had given Liu Ming hope, but everything still depended on Zhang Siyan's feelings; of course, there was one more point that no one could avoid.
That was Susu's opinion.
It was just that the little one was very sensible, so everyone subconsciously forgot about it, but it was also because Liu Ming left a very good impression on Susu that things were this way.
And these were all unknowns, so no matter how infatuated Liu Ming was, or what else, the final result remained unknown.
However, at the same time, the authority Zhang Ran gave him was also a form of compensation.
If the final result didn't work out, Zhang Ran wouldn't take these things back, and he would certainly have a perfect resume because of them, making it very simple to find a job in the future.
When it came down to it, Zhang Ran still couldn't be sure of Zhang Siyan's feelings, but he didn't want her to truly spend her whole life alone like this.
Especially as Qian Li now had plans to get married, she would no longer have a best friend who could stay by her side at all times.
Once Qian Li got married, her focus would definitely be on her family; this point was beyond doubt.
So Zhang Ran could only take precautions!
But at this moment, Liu Ming didn't care about any of this at all; he could actually think of it all, but he didn't care, really didn't care.
Originally, upon learning that Zhang Siyan had divorced, he transferred directly from Beijing to Shanghai, giving up a chance for a promotion.
At that time, he felt his opportunity had come.
But when he returned and suddenly learned that the Zhang Family had struck it rich, and in a way that was truly massive, he felt that he might be in trouble.
Especially as more and more things about Zhang Ran were exposed, he felt the gap between himself and Zhang Siyan growing wider and wider.
Never mind that Zhang Siyan was now divorced; even if she were fifty or sixty, as long as she was the daughter of the richest man, and a very doted-upon daughter at that, she would never lack suitors, especially those elites!
The kind who had both looks and talent.
There were no shortage of people who wanted to struggle for a few decades less; if one married Zhang Siyan, coupled with Zhang Ran's doting on her, it wouldn't just be struggling for a few decades less, it would be struggling for a whole lifetime less.
Especially now that the matter of Kangshilan was no longer a secret; everyone knew that Kangshilan was actually an industry of the Zhang Family.
Now Zhang Siyan had directly taken over Kangshilan, and at the same time, Huo Zhiyuan was unmarried, had no heirs, and had completely relinquished power.
The meaning was already very obvious: from now on, Kangshilan would be completely handed over to Zhang Siyan.
At the same time, according to how much Zhang Ran doted on his daughter, there would likely be other industrial shares and the like.
Isn't this just struggling for a lifetime less?
So it could be said that there was no shortage of suitors around Zhang Siyan now, and every single one of them was an elite talent!
Those who weren't elite talents really didn't have the confidence to pursue Zhang Siyan.
Of course, without reaching that status, it was also very difficult to even come into contact with Zhang Siyan; after all, she basically frequented high-end venues now.
It was just that Zhang Siyan hadn't taken a fancy to anyone, nor did she have the heart for it; of course, coupled with some of Zhang Ran's warnings, everyone pursued her, but they didn't dare to go too far.
As for things like blocking the door, no one really dared to do that.
However, things like sending flowers were quite common; they arrived every day, and the first thing the receptionists at Kangshilan did when they started work every day was to organize these flowers.
Then, some employees of the company, when getting off work, if they had girlfriends, could directly take some flowers from the front desk to give to them.
Female employees could also take some flowers home to keep.
Liu Ming knew all these situations, and he also knew that in his current situation, he had absolutely no competitive edge among these suitors.
Plus, he had truly come into contact with Zhang Ran, and he had a natural sense of trepidation toward him.
There was no helping it; it was the same for anyone. The father of the girl one liked was the richest man—anyone would overthink it, and anyone would feel insecure.
Fortunately, things were different now; he learned from a good friend today that Zhang Ran had actually agreed to let him pursue Zhang Siyan, which meant he didn't oppose it—this was actually the greatest support.
Not to mention that he was specifically provided with a higher and better platform for development, which made him feel Zhang Ran's sincerity.
Of course, he also knew that all of this still depended on Zhang Siyan's situation.
And when Liu Ming was leaving, Zhang Sicheng also mentioned that he could pursue Zhang Siyan, but he couldn't be thick-skinned about it.
Actually, Zhang Ran didn't need to worry about this at all; if Liu Ming were capable of being thick-skinned, he wouldn't have let go back then when he heard Zhang Siyan had a boyfriend.
In Liu Ming's heart, his first thought was still to wish for Zhang Siyan to find someone she liked and live a happy life.
Perhaps this was love!
Returning home, Liu Ming directly started packing his clothes; in the middle of the night, he woke his parents up.
Originally, Liu Ming wasn't living at his parents' house, but he really couldn't withstand his mother's tears and had to move back home.
This wasn't that Liu Ming wasn't filial, but living with his parents really tested one's patience.
Especially for an older, unmarried young man like him!
This wasn't nagging every few days, but three meals a day, every single meal without fail, and he couldn't get angry at his parents; after all, they were old.
So he could only endure it, which was an extreme test of patience!
"Da Ming, what are you doing so late? Why are you packing clothes?" his mother asked, walking over in a daze.
Only then did Liu Ming wake up a bit; he was truly too excited, to the point where he couldn't suppress it.
"It's nothing, Mom, I'm just tidying up, you go back to sleep," Liu Ming said.
His mother had also shaken off her sleepiness by now; she could tell at a glance that her son's state was off, and she knew something must be up.
Coupled with him packing clothes in the middle of the night, it gave her some bad thoughts, and tears welled up instantly: "Are you annoyed by Mom's nagging? But Mom is doing it all for your own good! Look at how old you are; what will you become if you don't get married now?"
Seeing his mom pull this routine again, Liu Ming was completely speechless; he was truly impressed by his mom's act.
"Mom, it's not like that, I'm preparing to go to work, really, I'm absolutely not lying to you," Liu Ming said helplessly.
Seeing that her son didn't seem to be lying, Liu Ma immediately stopped her tears and said with an indifferent expression: "Oh, so that's it? You found a new job? What job?"
This was Liu Ma's specialty: she could cry on command and stop just as easily; the key was that you couldn't even tell if it was real or fake.
It was as if this were her innate skill!
