Chapter 910: 906. Roasted Sweet Potatoes Are Truly Fragrant (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Aosituo stopped speaking; Zhang Ran's meaning was also very clear: if it wasn't sent over, there would be nothing to discuss.

In fact, from beginning to end, the rhythm of the negotiation had always been held in Zhang Ran's hands.

Aosituo wanted to refuse with righteous indignation, but unfortunately, he could not do so.

Because if he could truly strike a good deal with Zhang Ran, then for him personally, it would also be a good thing.

And the same logic applied to Swiss Bank.

Zhang Ran's investment vision, as well as his grasp of future developments, had long since spread within their circle.

In the past, everyone might have harbored some doubts, and with Zhang Ran's disappearance, many people were also unwilling to mention Zhang Ran.

Even if they did mention him, it was only in private.

But with Zhang Ran's return, these situations from Zhang Ran's past and present were all dug up once again.

Therefore, cooperating with Zhang Ran was what Aosituo wanted.

Moreover, as long as Zhang Ran agreed to the cooperation, then the previous conflict with Swiss Bank, and the matter of forcing Swiss Bank to make such a choice, would just be left unsettled.

This was also a matter of trade-offs, and it was the best choice for now.

Finally, Aosituo took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Zhang, I can only say that I will do my best."

"Rest assured, I believe this will not be a problem for your Swiss Bank," Zhang Ran said with certainty.

Aosituo stopped talking, feeling that speaking with Zhang Ran really meant every sentence stabbed at his heart.

The most critical thing was that Zhang Ran could always find their weak points, or rather, could always throw out enough bait.

If there was no bait, then there was leverage held by Zhang Ran.

Anyway, ever since Aosituo started dealing with Zhang Ran, he had never once taken advantage; the only time might have been when Zhang Ran first visited him on his own initiative.

But he had also paid a rather painful price for that.

Now, it had reached the point where Aosituo didn't even want to talk to Zhang Ran; he felt that speaking with Zhang Ran now required him to be on pins and needles.

So, after saying just a few more words, he hurriedly hung up the phone.

Zhang Ran looked at his phone, shook his head, and said, "Why is this guy so impolite? It seems like I'm about to eat him."

Huo Zhiyuan stood by, smiling without a word; although she hadn't participated in the whole process, she knew the gist of the matter.

If this Aosituo, having suffered losses so many times, still didn't learn a lesson, then he would have truly lived all those years in vain.

"Are we going straight home now?" Huo Zhiyuan asked.

Zhang Ran checked the time and said, "Let's go to the school to pick up the two children after class first."

There was still over an hour until school let out, so it was just right to go back and pick them up.

Zhang Siyan and Zhang Sicheng were both busy; because Zhang Ran had now completely let go, he did not interfere at all with the businesses he had handed over to them.

So now the two of them were busy; they wouldn't say they were busy until midnight every day, but they didn't have much time to rest or play either.

Although Zhang Ran had said in the past that he was handing these matters over to them to handle, Zhang Siyan and the others were all clear that Zhang Ran was watching from the sidelines.

If they made mistakes, took the wrong path, or had lapses, then Zhang Ran would not ignore it and would definitely help them deal with it.

But it wasn't like that anymore; now, even if these industries were run into bankruptcy by them, Zhang Ran would not interfere, just treating it as a lesson for them to remember.

Having deep capital had this kind of advantage.

Therefore, Zhang Siyan and the others were even more nervous now, especially Zhang Siyan; she not only had to handle company affairs but also had to deal with the conflicts between various shareholders and departments within the company.

The shareholder side was easier to talk to; with Zhang Ran pressing down on them, no one dared to cause trouble over this.

But the problems between the various departments were somewhat difficult to handle; Kangshilan was not founded by her, nor was it grown by her, she was just the successor now.

And she was such a young successor; being looked down upon or being fooled was all normal.

Zhang Ran knew all of this, but he would not interfere; if she couldn't even solve these minor problems, then it just proved that Zhang Siyan was lacking too much in this regard.

So, the current Zhang Siyan had to spend a lot of time and energy every day just to deal with the problems of various departments.

Previously, there was still Huo Zhiyuan helping to keep things under control, but now that Huo Zhiyuan had completely stopped caring, some conflicts began to manifest.

Moreover, it was even more chaotic for her now than it was during Huo Zhiyuan's time, because in the past, generally speaking, there was still Huo Zhiyuan's core faction as the main body.

But now, Huo Zhiyuan's core faction could be considered a faction of its own; although they generally supported Zhang Siyan, on the whole, they also had their own interests to pursue.

The interior of a large company was also quite complex and not as simple as one might imagine.

Arriving at the entrance of Fuyuan Primary School, Zhang Ran checked the time; there were about ten minutes left until school let out.

He got out of the car and walked to the school gate, where he happened to see roasted sweet potatoes; for some reason, he suddenly felt a craving.

Without any nonsense, he went straight to buy a few, and incidentally brought one for Huo Zhiyuan and He Yong each.

Smelling the fragrance of the roasted sweet potatoes, Zhang Ran felt a sense of hunger coming from his stomach, and his appetite seemed to have been opened up.

"Eat quickly, it's been a long time since I've had roasted sweet potatoes, taste and see how it is?" Zhang Ran said while blowing on it.

The sweet potato kept switching back and forth between his left and right hands.

Huo Zhiyuan was the same; compared to the two of them, He Yong was much simpler and more direct, switching hands slightly, and then directly started eating.

"Dayong, isn't yours hot?" Zhang Ran asked.

"My skin is thick and my flesh is tough, I don't feel much, and roasted sweet potatoes are best eaten when they are piping hot; if they get cold, they don't have that flavor," He Yong said while eating.

Zhang Ran saw him eating with such relish and could no longer hold back, starting to eat immediately.

"Mmm, huff huff huff, not bad, the taste is not bad, very fragrant and sweet, no wonder business is so good." Zhang Ran was busy for a moment, eating while blowing on it and having to talk at the same time.

Seeing the two of them like this, Huo Zhiyuan couldn't help but start eating too, though she appeared much more refined.

Quite a few parents who hadn't been hungry originally seemed to have their cravings stirred up after seeing the three of them eating so happily.

"But it's still not as good as the ones roasted in a bonfire; that flavor is what you call fragrant." Zhang Ran began to critique it, but it didn't affect his eating speed in the slightest.

"I also feel that way is better, it's just that there's nowhere to roast them now; nowadays every household has gas, and no one burns fires anymore." Huo Zhiyuan nodded in agreement.

When she was a child, she had also often gone to wreak havoc on other people's sweet potatoes.

"When we have time, we'll find a place to roast some; I don't know why, but I suddenly really want to eat these," Zhang Ran said.

"How about this Sunday? I'm afraid if we put it off for another two days, we probably won't be able to go," Huo Zhiyuan said.
