Chapter 938: 933. What are you afraid of? (Seeking subscriptions and monthly tickets)

Zhang Ran looked at the two of them and said irritably, "How come you two families came over together? Are you that free now?"

Meng He immediately laughed and said, "Well, it's just that I missed you, Brother Zhang. Don't worry, there are absolutely no problems with work; I've arranged everything."

Now is a critical moment for Zhang Ran to integrate the company, and since Meng He is someone Zhang Ran trusts immensely, Zhang Ran had no intention of inspecting Dahe Express at all.

If something went wrong on Meng He's end, it would truly be a slap in Zhang Ran's face. Meng He knew the situation, so he quickly gave his assurance.

"Alright, since you're already here, what, am I going to chase you back?" Zhang Ran said.

Then everyone took their seats. Lin Meizhi and Cheng Mei both went to help Liu Lu cook; it was more convenient for the men to talk about these things.

"Oh my, you guys really went all out, so much good liquor?" Zhang Ran saw the bottles on the table.

Meng He said with a chuckle, "It's been a long time since I've had a drink with you, Brother Zhang. I thought I'd take this opportunity to have a good drink. We won't leave until we're drunk tonight."

"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems you guys have something important today," Zhang Ran teased, then smiled and said, "But you're right, we really haven't had a drink together in a long time. I reckon you've been craving it too."

"Ahem, well, I'm just controlling myself. It's not that my wife is keeping me in check; she can't control me," Meng He argued forcefully.

Zhang Ran just looked at him with a smile and said nothing. Meng He quickly changed the subject, "Anyway, Brother Zhang, you have to taste this liquor later. It took me a lot of effort to get it."

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem." Huang Lin on the side coughed hard. How did this suddenly become yours?

Today, Huang Lin had once again witnessed the thickness of Fat Man Meng's skin.

As soon as Zhang Ran saw Huang Lin like that, he knew what was going on. "Dahe, your skin is getting thicker and thicker. It's clearly Lao Huang's liquor, yet you claim you got it yourself. You really are shameless."

Hearing Zhang Ran's form of address, Huang Lin understood in an instant: today they would only discuss private matters, not business.

Or rather, Zhang Ran had realized that Meng He and the others were asking for a favor regarding private matters, so he said that on purpose to make it easier for them to bring it up later.

Actually, it wasn't hard to guess. At this time, even if there were business matters to discuss, they should have come during the day.

Besides, Meng He wouldn't act like this. If Meng He had done something wrong, he wouldn't do this to try and reduce his punishment.

He would only obediently admit his mistake, and as long as the matter wasn't too serious, Zhang Ran would basically let it slide.

This is also the reason why many veterans of large companies have problems that the helmsman knows about, yet they don't take action, or only give a slight warning.

There's no helping it; those people basically listen to you regarding the company and have helped you a great deal. One could say they are loyal and devoted to their duties.

They only made a few small mistakes. Faced with such people, most would not deal with them severely.

This can also be considered a form of social sophistication.

The three of them chatted and laughed like this, while Zhang Siyan and Zhang Sicheng kept them company on the side.

At this moment, Huang Lin also discovered one thing: Zhang Sicheng and Zhang Siyan were extremely polite when speaking to the two of them, even carrying a sense of respect for their elders.

This was not the case when they were at the company. At that time, although Zhang Sicheng and the others were polite, it was limited to that.

This meant that Zhang Sicheng and the others now regarded him and Meng He as elders of the older generation.

It must be said that such behavior from Zhang Sicheng and the others made people feel very comfortable. Even if conflicts arose regarding company matters in the future, it would be very difficult for Huang Lin to harbor ill feelings toward such people.

This scene gave Huang Lin much to think about. Compared to Zhang Sicheng and the others, his own son, Huang Xunceng, was still lacking quite a bit.

This also made him more determined to ensure that Huang Xunceng came here to learn from Zhang Ran.

Soon the meal was ready. Zhang Ran was in no hurry to ask about the purpose of Meng He and the others' visit; they weren't in a rush, so why should he be?

So he happily drank with Meng He and the others.

Cheng Mei and Lin Meizhi glanced at each other, and then both of them joined in.

Whether it was Cheng Mei or Lin Meizhi, neither of their drinking capacities was poor, especially Cheng Mei, who had started the business with Huang Lin back in the day.

Soon, even He Yong had a few small drinks, while Zhang Sicheng, Zhang Siyan, and Liu Lu became the servers.

This was very much like having guests at home; the adults entertain the guests, and the children serve on the side.

Actually, it's about the same now; when elders' guests arrive, the elders accompany them, and the juniors serve.

When juniors' guests arrive, the adults help out on the side.

At this moment, there was no distinction between superior and subordinate, and the hearts of Huang Lin and Cheng Mei gradually relaxed.

Just as they were drinking happily, Meng He finally spoke up, "Well, Brother Zhang, what do you think of our family's Little Xuan and the old Huang family's Little Zeng?"

Zhang Ran said with a smile, "They're quite good. What's wrong? Are you still dissatisfied with these two children? If so, then I'll have to have a good talk with you."

Meng He scratched his head and said, "No, we are very satisfied with them now. It's just that in many aspects, I feel I don't really know how to guide Little Xuan."

As he spoke, he said directly, "Take managing the company, for example. You also know about the incident at their company a few days ago. It's very clear that they have problems in managing the company, and the problems aren't small either."

"But now when we speak, they don't listen, or rather, they think they have the ability and look down on us."

"They dare to?" Zhang Ran stared.

"Ahem, it's not that serious. It's also that we actually don't know how to teach them. Their company is different from ours. Although there are some similarities, we can't quite grasp it," Meng He said sheepishly.

Zhang Ran said irritably, "Say what you have to say directly. Don't beat around the bush with me here; it's uncomfortable to listen to."

"Hehe, it's just that I see how well you've taught Sicheng and Siyan, Brother Zhang. Siyan manages the massive Kangshilan in perfect order, and Sicheng's Biaoxue Company also rarely has problems."

"And in handling many matters, Sicheng and Siyan are both much stronger than Little Xuan and the other one, so I was thinking of seeing if we could take this opportunity to let them get some more training."

Zhang Ran finally knew the reason for this guy's enthusiasm today; so it was because of this.

Zhang Ran said with a half-smile, "Are you trying to send your son here as a hostage?"

"Brother Zhang, you're joking. This isn't a hostage; it's clearly a reassurance," Meng He said deeply, no longer joking.

Zhang Ran couldn't help but say, "Are you still worried that I'll kick you out?"

How is this guy talking?

No matter what, even if Meng He let Dahe Express's performance slide, as long as it wasn't on the verge of bankruptcy, Zhang Ran basically wouldn't move Meng He.

And even if he did, he would still retain all of his shares.
