Chapter 937: 932. Different Status (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

What Huang Lin is thinking is truly not without foundation; are such situations rare in the business world?

Zhang Ran only provides general direction and sufficient development capital for their company.

He never interferes in their internal affairs, nor does he care what their management looks like, leaving it entirely to Meng Mingxuan and the other.

If this were placed with other investment institutions, it would basically be impossible; for those other investment institutions, it would be considered not bad if they didn't send people to seize power.

At lunch, Huang Lin made an excuse to go out for a while and called Meng He.

"Yo, Chairman Huang, how do you have time to call me?" Meng He said with a chuckle.

His current life is going quite wonderfully.

With the resources of the Fengli Group, plus the support of Zhang Ran, their Dahe Express is developing at a rapid pace.

Previously, Zhang Ran had him complete some large-scale layouts, and this time, by taking advantage of the Fengli Group, he also smoothly completed some smaller layouts.

Added to the matter of Hanjing Express, their Dahe Express is already leading the pack in the courier industry.

Zhao Lifeng also does not yet have control over their Dahe Express.

"Meng He, don't speak to me in such a sarcastic tone; I haven't offended you, and Mr. Zhang doesn't even hold the previous matters against you," Huang Lin said helplessly.

"That's because Brother Zhang is magnanimous, and also because you, kid, are sensible; you made preparations in advance and didn't think about causing trouble for Zhang Ran," Meng He said.

Huang Lin is actually satisfied with his past decision; otherwise, his own fate probably wouldn't have been much better.

However, he doesn't want to talk about these things with Meng He now and went straight to the point: "Don't drag me into this; I have serious business looking for you today."

"What is it? Don't tell me it's about company integration; I listen to Brother Zhang," Meng He said directly.

Huang Lin felt a bit helpless, but in his heart, he actually envied this kind of Meng He.

Because as long as Zhang Ran does not fall, the Meng Family will always be an important part of the Zhang Family's great ship.

"It's not about integration, and I have no opinion on that either. I'll be direct: it's like this, didn't my son and your son open a company together? Now there are some things in their management that aren't quite right," Huang Lin said.

"I know, it even made the news a couple of days ago, but what can we do? We can't interfere, right? Aren't you afraid that Brother Zhang will be unhappy if you do that?" Meng He said.

This is the key; if it were just the company of Meng Mingxuan and Huang Xunceng, Huang Lin and Meng He could really help out directly.

They could even send some people into their company to help with management, or scout for suitable candidates; their connections are still quite good.

But the largest shareholder here is Zhang Ran; if they were to do that, what would Zhang Ran think?

Huang Lin said: "It's not what you think. You know Mr. Zhang is currently inspecting our company, and he brought Zhang Sicheng and Zhang Siyan along."

Huang Lin began to recount the situation of the past two days, and finally said: "I feel this kind of education is quite good; at the very least, it allowed Sicheng and the others to absorb a lot of experience."

"And you've seen it too; logically speaking, Sicheng and the others should actually be inferior to Xunceng and the others when it comes to being bosses."

"But now? Both of them are doing much better in management than Xunceng and the others, which also proves one point: Mr. Zhang also has unique insights in terms of education."

"Does this need you to tell me?" Meng He stated his position immediately.

But he soon added: "You mean to let Brother Zhang help us educate our children?"

"That is indeed the idea; after all, herding one sheep is herding, and herding a flock is also herding," Huang Lin said.

Meng He thought for a moment and said: "This is truly a good method, and based on my understanding of Brother Zhang, he won't refuse."

"How about this, you wait for me; I'll head to Beijing right now and speak with Brother Zhang in person tonight."

"Fine, I'll wait for you." Hearing Meng He say this, Huang Lin felt a stone in his heart drop.

With Meng He stepping in, the chances of Zhang Ran agreeing are very high.

The status Meng He holds in Zhang Ran's heart is far from what Huang Lin can compare to; as long as the request Meng He makes isn't excessive, Zhang Ran won't refuse.

Huang Lin is very certain of this point.

Thinking of this, Huang Lin was suddenly a bit dazed, not knowing when Zhang Ran had given him such confidence.

This is actually a very terrifying thing; with such a thought, why worry that the people under him won't work hard?

Shaking his head, Huang Lin didn't dwell on this matter; thinking about it was useless.

"By the way, do you have good liquor over there? I want the kind that's been cellar-aged for a long time; don't give me those foreign spirits," Meng He suddenly said.

"I do, why?" Huang Lin was a bit puzzled.

"What do you mean why? You're asking for a favor, and if you don't get the person well-liquored, do you have the nerve to open your mouth? Even if this is Brother Zhang, it's no exception. This is called human relations and worldly wisdom; you don't know a damn thing!" Meng He said bluntly.

"Get lost!" Huang Lin cursed angrily, then hung up the phone.

This guy Meng He may lack great wisdom, but he has plenty of petty cleverness!

However, Huang Lin subsequently went to prepare the cellar-aged liquor Meng He mentioned; come to think of it, what Meng He said really made sense.

In fact, this is also where Meng He's cleverness lies; by doing this, he is essentially changing the relationship between himself and the others from subordinates of Zhang Ran to friends.

Asking a friend for help and making sure the friend is well-liquored—isn't that just how it should be?

Although Huang Lin wouldn't admit it out loud, after experiencing this, he also understood that he really had some gaps compared to Meng He in this regard.

By the afternoon, Huang Lin was still accompanying Sicheng and the others on their tour, answering every question asked.

At noon, Zhang Ran had taken the two little ones who had woken up out for a stroll.

Looking at the history of this Beijing, many things are also quite interesting.

The two little ones had eaten well in the morning and taken another nap, so they were very energetic all afternoon.

By seven o'clock in the evening, Zhang Ran returned home, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Meng He's big face.

"How do you have time to come here, you guy?" Zhang Ran said irritably, looking at Meng He's sly, grinning expression.

Whenever this guy smiled like that, Zhang Ran knew there was definitely something up.

"Call Grandpa Meng, Grandma Lin, Grandpa Huang, Grandma Cheng," Zhang Ran said to the two little ones.

The two little ones were quite well-behaved and called out to each one in turn; Meng He chuckled and pulled two small jade pendants from his pocket to hand to the two little ones.

Huang Lin, however, touched his pocket in some embarrassment; fortunately, Cheng Mei, who was on the side, took out two small toys.

Only then did Huang Lin know why Cheng Mei had made an excuse to leave earlier.

At this moment, Huang Lin's mood was also a bit complicated, because he felt that his being called "Grandpa Huang" was still thanks to Meng He's influence.

It can also be seen from this that the status of Meng He in Zhang Ran's heart is completely different from his own.
