Chapter 881: 877. Letting Go of Kangshilan (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

This time, Zhang Ran was not just letting Hanjing Group admit defeat; after all, having paid so much, it was time to take back some benefits.

Zhang Ran did not like to make losing deals, especially under these circumstances.

Listening to Zhang Ran's words, Han Minxiu felt somewhat angry, "Mr. Zhang, you are taking advantage of someone's misfortune."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ran laughed, "That's right, I am indeed taking advantage of someone's misfortune."

Once these words were out, Han Minxiu didn't know what to say; had Zhang Ran actually just admitted it like that?

But then he saw Zhang Ran's expression turn cold, "But weren't you all doing the same thing before? If I didn't still have a few tricks up my sleeve, the person who should be truly angry right now would be me, wouldn't it?"

What Han Minxiu and his people did before was what you would call truly taking advantage of someone's misfortune; now, he was simply giving them a taste of their own medicine.

Han Minxiu took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Zhang, we were also helpless before. Under those circumstances, they were the ones forcing us to do it, and besides, this matter..."

Before he could finish, Zhang Ran interrupted, "Was it me who forced you?"

"Since it wasn't me who forced you to do it, what are you coming to me to say? It's as if you're acting like you're very innocent."

"Stop acting in front of me. Do you really think I would soften my heart? If that is truly what you think, then I'll tell you, you're overthinking it."

Zhang Ran's words completely dispelled Han Minxiu's thoughts, leaving him feeling both angry and helpless.

Had they known the situation would turn out like this, they would have preferred not to get involved in the first place.

But to be honest, when they agreed to those people's conditions back then, it was actually because they saw profit to be made.

Who could have imagined that Zhang Ran would be so resolute, expending such great effort just to beat them into submission?

Now, Han Minxiu truly had no choice but to submit.

He had no other options left.

Although he thought this, Han Minxiu still couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Zhang, what if we don't agree?"

Zhang Ran narrowed his eyes and said, "What else can you do? Of course, I'll look for others to cooperate with. After all, you are considered a big piece of fat meat now, enough for quite a few people to get their fill."

Zhang Ran's words completely dispelled Han Minxiu's intentions; he took a deep breath and said, "Fine, I agree."

After saying this, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth; who could have imagined that things would change so quickly?

Now, not only had they already paid such a painful price in advance, but they also had to share some of their own interests with Zhang Ran.

This was simply losing both the lady and the soldiers!

The key was that in the current situation, he had no choice but to agree.

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

After sending off Han Minxiu and his group, Zhang Ran also let out a long sigh of relief; fortunately, Han Minxiu didn't really fight him to the bitter end, otherwise, he wouldn't have had an easy time either.

There wasn't much time left on the South Africa side; if things dragged on any longer, it would be hard to say what might happen.

Therefore, it had to be resolved as quickly as possible.

Now that Han Minxiu had finally admitted defeat, it allowed his side to free up their hands to deal with the matters below.

However, no matter how urgent, it wasn't urgent to the point of needing every single second, so Zhang Ran decided to return to Shanghai first; having been away from home for so long, he really missed it.

"Dad." Zhang Sicheng met Zhang Ran at the airport.

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Didn't I say you didn't need to come pick me up? It's only a short distance."

As he spoke, he quickly squatted down to hug the two little ones who had run over.

Zhang Sicheng said, "I didn't want to come either, but the two little ones insisted, what could I do?"

Zhang Ran glanced at him and said, "I knew you didn't have the heart for it; my two little treasures are still the best."

As he spoke, he kissed each of the two little ones on the face.

Zhang Sicheng was instantly helpless; what was wrong with him again? It was he himself who said he didn't need to be picked up.

The family chatted and laughed, and soon they returned home.

By the time Zhang Ran arrived home, Liu Lu had already prepared the meal, a full table, very sumptuous.

However, He Yong and He Qing had already gone back; they had also bought a house in this residential complex, and now they were not short of money.

Even when asked to come over to eat, He Yong wouldn't come; he didn't want to disturb the time Zhang Ran's family spent together.

At the dinner table, Siyan whispered some secrets to Liu Lu, while Sicheng reported some of his work achievements from this period to Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran mostly just listened and didn't offer any opinions.

When Sicheng had said enough, Zhang Ran finally said, "You can make your own decisions on these matters. You have grown enough now; you don't need to ask for my opinion on many things. No matter the result, it is a good thing for you, as long as you can learn lessons from it."

Zhang Ran was now prepared to let go; Sicheng and Siyan already had that kind of self-confidence, which was something Zhang Ran had cultivated.

It wasn't like at the beginning, when Zhang Ran didn't dare let them experience any setbacks for fear they wouldn't be able to handle it.

Moreover, they were no longer young; they had a spirit that refused to admit defeat.

At that time, they were all people with families and dependents, not like before, so a very small setback could very likely make them give up completely.

Although Zhang Ran would support whatever choice they made, if possible, he still wanted them to see different scenery and have a broader life and world.

This was also the responsibility of a parent.

Now Zhang Ran felt that this was enough, so he was prepared to let go completely.

After saying this, he also said to Huo Zhiyuan, "Zhiyuan, you should also prepare on your end to hand over Kangshilan completely to Siyan."

If it were before, he wouldn't have said these words, because although Kangshilan was bought by Zhang Ran, in reality, its ability to develop and grow was entirely the result of Huo Zhiyuan's efforts.

It wasn't that Zhang Ran couldn't bear to part with such a company, but rather that Huo Zhiyuan really didn't have much interest in Kangshilan anymore.

And during this period, Huo Zhiyuan didn't want to participate in management either, basically just idling at home.

Huo Zhiyuan smiled upon hearing this, "Alright, I will prepare during this time."

"Mm, you will come with me to South Africa tomorrow; they are short of manpower there, come and help me," Zhang Ran said.

At this, Huo Zhiyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and her tone became much lighter, like a young girl.

"Alright, alright, I'll go pack up now," Huo Zhiyuan said happily.

Siyan had originally wanted to say something, but seeing Huo Zhiyuan's appearance, she immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out.

If she were to say she didn't accept it at this moment, it was likely that even Huo Zhiyuan would be unhappy.

However, at the same time, her pressure had also increased significantly; this was a Fortune Global 500 company, and now it rested entirely upon her shoulders.
