After Zhang Ran finished handling the matter, he returned home and spoke with Liu Lu about it.

"With this, you can rest easy; they won't do anything to put you in a difficult position when the time comes," Zhang Ran said with a smile.

The worry that had originally been in Liu Lu's heart was swept away. "Thank you, Dad."

"Don't mention it. By the way, I won't be eating at home at noon. I'm going to prepare and then head to the airport," Zhang Ran said.

"Alright, I have already packed your luggage for you."

"Mm, you go ahead and get busy."

The moment Liu Lu arrived at the hospital, Wang Jiajia sought her out. After knocking on the door, she first apologized and explained some of her previous actions.

"It's fine, Jiajia. As long as you can correct yourself, everything will be okay. However, you won't be getting your bonus this month," Liu Lu said with a smile.

Wang Jiajia immediately said, "Master, I have no objections."

After Wang Jiajia left, the others also came over one by one to admit their mistakes.

Liu Lu indicated that she would let bygones be bygones, only penalizing everyone's bonus for that month.

This bonus was not a small amount, but everyone was able to understand and accept it.

This was an idea Zhang Ran had come up with; after all, having no punishment at all would be quite inappropriate.

As for the head nurse, Liu Lu took the initiative to go and chat with her, and the next day, she announced that she would yield some shares for the head nurse to purchase.

At this, Sun Lin and the others were truly envious, but they also felt increasingly motivated.

Sitting on the plane, Zhang Ran felt a bit drowsy, but he still had to patiently handle matters, which felt rather uncomfortable.

Rubbing his brow, Zhang Ran continued to look through the documents.

Many things required Zhang Ran to think them through and perfect them bit by bit.

Although Zhang Ran already had a very detailed plan for this matter, he still needed to deduce it over and over again to avoid mistakes.

After deducing it once more, Zhang Ran modified the document in his hand and handed it to He Qing, saying, "Send these documents to them, have them reorganize and deduce them again. I will need them by tomorrow morning."

"Understood," He Qing immediately replied.

He Yong had been quite leisurely these past few days; back in Huaxia, he had relaxed quite a bit.

However, He Yong had also sensed something: loneliness.

Although he had his daughter to keep him company, they saw each other every day, but in reality, there was no time for idle chatter.

He Qing was very busy; not only did she need to handle various matters, but she also needed to keep learning. She was still young and had many shortcomings.

Zhang Ran had given her so many opportunities, and she was unwilling to just give them up.

He Yong could understand all of this. In the past, he hadn't felt lonely, but now he really did have that feeling.

Perhaps it was because he was truly getting older; seeing the atmosphere of Zhang Ran's family, he felt some envy and longing in his heart.

After He Qing finished handling her work and took a short break, He Yong finally spoke up, "Um, Xiao Qing, have you ever thought about getting married?"

"Hm?" He Qing was stunned, her hand mid-stretch freezing in place. "Dad, why did you suddenly come up with such an idea?"

"Well, it's just that I'm getting older and will be retiring in a few years. If you get married, I can help you look after the children so you can focus on your work.

Don't worry, I'll handle everything regarding the children in the future; you don't need to worry about anything," He Yong said hurriedly.

Well, he was missing having children around.

He Qing said with a wry smile, "Dad, I'm only twenty-one this year. Are you in such a rush to marry me off?"

"No, it's not that..." He Yong wanted to explain.

But he didn't know how to explain it.

He Qing understood her father's thoughts and said with a smile, "Dad, if you feel lonely, just find someone else. You have money and status now, what are you worried about?"

As she spoke, her tone became a bit teasing. "Dad, maybe you don't know it yourself, but old men like you are very popular in society now.

Old men are great; they have social security, and if one leaves, they can find another. Plus, you have a sensible daughter like me. No matter what kind of person you find, I won't mind."

He Qing had previously wanted her parents to remarry, as she had been pestered until her heart softened.

But after testing her father a few times, she saw that he truly had no such thoughts, and she also knew her biological mother's actual intentions.

She didn't truly love He Yong; she was actually just after He Yong's connections and money.

So He Qing slowly gave up on that idea; it would be better to just let her father find someone himself.

Hearing his daughter's teasing, He Yong said huffily, "What nonsense are you spouting? You're just making fun of your dad."

Huo Zhiyuan, who had been sleeping with her head buried nearby, suddenly spoke up, "Yong Ge, you really shouldn't say that; Xiao Qing's words actually make a lot of sense."

As soon as Huo Zhiyuan spoke, it gave He Yong a start; he had assumed Huo Zhiyuan was asleep.

"Haha, Huo Yi, you think so too, right? I just feel that my dad is no worse than anyone else. Besides, if you want to give him a child, you can just have one. I really don't mind," He Qing said with a chuckle, though there was some sincerity in her tone.

She truly didn't mind her father remarrying or having more children. Perhaps she might have cared in the past, as it would mean someone to split the family assets with—and they were a family with some modest assets now—but not anymore.

As she spent more time by Zhang Ran's side, she cared less and less about these things, because He Qing understood that no matter what, she would be able to build a career with her own two hands in the future.

At the very least, she would be able to hold important positions within the Zhang Group; she certainly wouldn't be short of money.

"Yong Ge, look, Xiao Qing is so open-minded now; you really can consider it," Huo Zhiyuan said with a smile.

He Yong immediately said huffily, "I'm at such an age, what would it look like to get married again? I just wanted to hold a grandchild."

"If you want a grandchild, you'll have to keep waiting. I don't plan on getting married or having children within the next ten years," He Qing said.

"You..." He Yong glared at her.

"Dad, don't look at me like that. This is a fact. I have to work hard and study every day now. If I get married and have children, that would surely delay me for a year or two, right?

After a year or two, who would even remember me? Would I still be able to keep up with my current learning progress?" He Qing said truthfully.

He Yong had originally been quite anxious, but after hearing He Qing's analysis, it seemed that was indeed the case.

Even if Zhang Ran were still willing to let He Qing serve as his secretary after a year or two, would He Qing be able to keep up by then? Would she still have the heart to learn?

These were all problems. Thinking about it, He Yong stopped speaking.
