Chapter 911: 907. Zhang Ran's Reputation (Please Subscribe and Vote)

Zhang Ran thought about it; it did seem like it had been a long time since the whole family went out to have fun, and just now, he had only mentioned it in passing.

Now that Huo Zhiyuan had set the time, he was slightly stunned, then immediately smiled: "Alright, then this Sunday."

He suddenly discovered that his family seemed to be getting busier and busier.

Although it was true that whether it was Zhang Sicheng or Liu Lu, they basically came home every day as long as they weren't too busy.

But it seemed everyone had started to get busy, and the time they returned home was getting later and later.

Just as Zhang Ran was thinking about these things, the school bell rang, and the previously quiet campus instantly became noisy.

The parents on the perimeter, who had been calm at first, now became anxious, each of them craning their necks to look inside.

Very quickly, Zhang Ran saw Zhang Xiaotao holding Susu's hand as they walked out together, with a few classmates following alongside them.

Susu's eyes spotted Zhang Ran in an instant; she immediately let go of her brother's hand and ran over, happily shouting: "Grandpa, Grandpa."

Zhang Ran chuckled and squatted down, then scooped the little girl up in his arms.

"Yo, our Susu seems to have grown taller," Zhang Ran said with a smile.

"Mm, I've grown two centimeters taller," Susu said, looking quite proud, but then she added with a slightly aggrieved look: "Grandpa, where did you go? I missed you."

Although they basically video-chatted every night, Susu still missed her grandfather very much; he occupied a very important and special place in her heart.

In Susu's heart, her grandfather was a super hero who protected her mother and her; with her grandfather around, the sense of security in Susu's heart was off the charts.

But when she couldn't see her grandfather, Susu didn't have that sense of security in her heart.

When it came down to it, even though Susu had become much more cheerful over such a long time, the things from her childhood would not just disappear so easily.

Fortunately, Zhang Ran's handling of things had always been quite good, and he had deliberately let those things fade from Susu's world.

Zhang Ran remembered a saying that went: some people spend their whole lives healing their childhood.

Although Susu's experiences were not that terrible, Zhang Ran wanted Susu to forget that memory forever.

"Grandpa missed Susu too; Grandpa hasn't been eating or sleeping well lately," Zhang Ran said, rubbing Susu's head with a smile.

"That won't do, Grandpa; you have to eat your fill so you can be healthy," Susu's little face was full of seriousness.

Zhang Ran said: "Alright, then how about Susu supervises Grandpa from now on?"

"Okay, let's pinky swear," Susu was suddenly happy.

"Pinky swear, hang yourself, a hundred years no changing!" Zhang Ran acted like a child, playing this childish game with Susu.

"Grandpa." At this time, Taotao also walked over; he didn't seem as anxious.

Although he was very happy to see his grandfather, at this moment, he appeared somewhat... steady?

Zhang Ran was a little surprised, "What? Don't you miss Grandpa?"

"I do," Taotao's voice was very loud.

Then he whispered: "Grandpa, I'm the class monitor now, I have to be steady."

After saying that, he puffed out his chest with great solemnity.

Zhang Ran found it amusing and then said: "Alright, our Mr. Class Monitor."

The group chatted and laughed as they returned home; Huo Zhiyuan went back to rest first, as she was tired from being on a plane for so long.

So much so that she didn't come over when it was time for dinner in the evening.

While eating, Zhang Ran brought up the plan to go for a picnic this weekend.

"Dad, I have several meetings to attend this weekend," Zhang Siyan said immediately.

Zhang Ran said: "Then cancel them."

"The meetings are very important; many people in the company don't really respect me right now, if..." Zhang Siyan explained.

She also wanted to go on the picnic, especially since the whole family was going, but right now Kangshilan Company had many things that required her to handle them.

The internal factions of the company were numerous; she hadn't felt it before, but now she truly felt that many things could not be solved just by having authority.

Just like how there was an expatriate Supervisor Manager in the company; even though Zhang Siyan clearly knew this guy had embezzled quite a bit of the company's money, she could only endure it for the time being.

Because this guy was also involved with many people behind the scenes; once she moved against him, it was very likely that all these people would jump out at once.

It would make things even harder to handle.

Zhang Ran said indifferently: "You will never finish these things, and you must remember, you are a leader, you are their boss."

"Don't blindly let them lead you by the nose, and although I don't manage your affairs anymore, that doesn't mean you truly have no support."

"For many things, you don't need to consider so much; this is also where your advantage lies. Why would you want to throw away this advantage?"

"But..." Zhang Siyan understood her father's words, but in her heart, things were not that easy to handle.

"There are no 'buts'; I want you to become people who can stand on your own, but I want a complete and harmonious home even more."

"You must remember, money can never be earned in full; right now you are busy every day and have no time to accompany Susu. When Susu grows up, she won't need you to accompany her anymore."

"At that time, even if you want to accompany her, Susu won't have time to accompany you," Zhang Ran said earnestly.

Susu blinked her big eyes, "I won't leave Mommy; I want to be with Mommy forever."

Zhang Ran touched Susu's head and said with a smile: "That goes without saying; Grandpa was just making a hypothesis."

Zhang Siyan fell silent; she knew what her father said was the truth. Once Susu grew up and started university, the time Susu spent coming home would decrease day by day.

Beside them, Zhang Sicheng remained silently quiet; he felt a bit fortunate that he hadn't rushed to speak just now.

He actually had things going on too; the company was developing very smoothly now. With the resources Zhang Ran had given him, plus Zhang Ran's reputation, he was able to obtain the best resources for many things.

To say nothing else, just recently there was a foreign 3A masterpiece that both Weiteng and Shengcheng wanted to acquire.

But there was a problem when applying for the game license, and it got stuck. Zhang Sicheng had also taken a liking to this game at the time.

It was just that his strength was indeed a bit behind those two companies, so he had no way to compete and could only give up.

But who would have thought that neither of those two companies could get the license approved, so Zhang Sicheng thought he would give it a try, and then the license was approved directly.

Zhang Sicheng of course knew that this was because people were giving Zhang Ran face.

At that point, he only needed to make some modifications to the game's content and redesign the bloody scenes, and it would be fine.

Relying on this, Zhang Sicheng secured the agency rights for this game at very little cost.
