SAG -Chapter 158 Vengeful to the Smallest Slight

This immediately left everyone feeling as though they had been forced into an awkward position with no way out. Zhang Ran was clearly pressuring them into agreeing to let Zhang Siyan become the project leader.

However, some people were so furious that they wanted to turn around and leave. They could not tolerate such humiliation.

But just as they stood up, Zhang Ran spoke again.

“Oh, right. I forgot to tell you all. From the moment you leave this room, we will stop all cooperation with you.”

Now Zhang Ran was threatening them outright.

Everyone understood what he meant. Zhang Ran’s words were not as simple as merely refusing to cooperate.

What he meant was that if they did not agree, then Kangshilan would suffer commercial suppression from Prince Haiman’s side in Europe for a period of time in the future.

For a moment, those who had been about to stand up sat back down again. Although they were furious, they truly did not dare leave now.

The fact that Rahama showed not the slightest intention of stopping Zhang Ran after he said those words proved that Zhang Ran truly had the authority to make this decision.

They did not dare take that risk.

It was true that they represented different interest groups within Kangshilan, but there was one thing they all had in common: they all wanted Kangshilan to develop.

If their departure truly led to such consequences in the future, someone would definitely have to take the blame. And the person most likely to be blamed would be whoever took the lead in leaving.

Then they looked toward Zhao Jingyu and found that this assistant’s expression was very calm, as if she had not heard Zhang Ran’s words at all.

Being watched by these people, Zhao Jingyu felt helpless inside. She knew Zhang Ran was only trying to scare them. Zhang Ran would not actually do such a thing.

However, Zhao Jingyu could also tell that although Zhang Ran and Huo Zhiyuan had not communicated at all, they seemed to understand what the other was trying to do.

Seeing that Zhao Jingyu showed no reaction, everyone turned their gazes back toward Zhang Siyan.

No matter what, they had never expected this young woman to have such a powerful background. Although they did not know Zhang Ran, from his behavior after entering and the things he had said, they could tell that Zhang Ran was definitely not simple.

At the same time, these people also felt somewhat helpless.

If you have such an impressive father, why are you coming to our company? Are you here to steal our jobs?

Zhang Siyan was also a little dazed at this moment. She had not expected her father to be so forceful, suppressing all these senior executives in the room until none of them dared say another word.

Zhang Ran actually knew the drawback of doing this.

It would make it difficult for Zhang Siyan to build good relationships within Kangshilan.

But there was also an advantage. After this incident, whenever Zhang Siyan made any request in the future, these people would have to think carefully about the consequences before trying to cause trouble for her.

As for popularity?

Zhang Ran did not care about that at all.

Zhang Siyan was not going there to make friends. She was going there to train her abilities. That was the key point.

Although interpersonal relationships were also part of one’s abilities, those could be developed slowly later on. Once Zhang Siyan produced results, good relationships would naturally follow.

“Siyan, weren’t there still some things you hadn’t finished explaining earlier? Continue,” Zhang Ran said to Zhang Siyan.

Zhang Siyan still had not fully come back to her senses, but she subconsciously followed Zhang Ran’s arrangement and began explaining again.

This time, everyone listened absentmindedly. However, no one dared interrupt her again.

After Zhang Siyan finished speaking, Zhang Ran looked at everyone again and said, “All right. Does anyone have any objections to Zhang Siyan’s project arrangements?”

At this moment, it seemed as though Zhang Ran was the true master of Kangshilan.

Everyone remained silent and merely looked at Zhang Ran quietly. They wanted to use this silence to express their dissatisfaction.

“Since there are no objections, then this matter is decided. Assistant Zhao, inform President Huo,” Zhang Ran said.

Zhao Jingyu quickly replied, “All right.”

Then she made the call and finalized Zhang Siyan’s identity as the project leader on the spot.

Less than half an hour had passed since Zhang Ran entered, yet the matter had been resolved cleanly and decisively.

Although many people were unconvinced, at this moment, they had no choice but to accept it.

“Since the matter is settled, everyone may leave,” Zhang Ran said with a wave of his hand.

Only then did everyone dare to stand up and leave. However, their eyes were filled with frustration.

But in the next moment, they heard Zhang Ran’s voice again.

“As for those two people from earlier, I hope Kangshilan can dismiss them. After all, people like that are nothing but rat droppings in the company. No, two rat droppings.”

Zhang Ran was not a magnanimous person. Since those two had dared to speak about his daughter that way, they would have to endure his retaliation.

Even now, Zhang Ran himself had never been willing to say a single harsh word to his daughter!

After hearing Zhang Ran’s words, the two people’s faces turned extremely ugly. They had never expected that just two malicious jokes would bring them such serious trouble.

“Mr. Zhang, this is an internal matter of the company. We have no authority to make such a decision,” someone finally could not endure it anymore and spoke up, his voice filled with anger.

Ever since Zhang Ran entered the room, they had felt terribly uncomfortable, as though they were being forced to swallow an unbearable grievance.

Zhang Ran glanced at him indifferently and said, “Of course. I never expected you to make the decision. Go back and tell all the shareholders of Kangshilan that as long as those two remain in the company, our cooperation will be suspended for one day. It will remain suspended until they leave Kangshilan.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone else shut their mouths.

At this moment, they finally understood. This man had a personality that would repay even the smallest slight. No one wanted to invite trouble upon themselves now.

However, some people secretly felt delighted. Those two were trusted subordinates of one shareholder. Usually, they had relied on that backing to bully others quite a bit, and they also never watched their mouths. Ending up like this was exactly what they deserved.

As for refusing Zhang Ran?

They truly had not considered that option.

The interests involved were simply too great. Even if those two were that shareholder’s biological sons, they would still have to leave at this point.

After everyone left, Qian Li immediately jumped up excitedly.

“Uncle Zhang, you were so cool!”

“Really? Haha, I also felt I was pretty cool just now!” Zhang Ran said with a laugh, completely losing the serious and stern demeanor he had shown earlier.

After chatting with them for a little while longer, Zhang Ran prepared to leave. This time, he had already supported Zhang Siyan and established her position. What came next would depend on Zhang Siyan’s own efforts.

However, when he walked past Zhao Jingyu, Zhang Ran suddenly said, “The little girl from back then has grown up. Now she can even scheme against me.”

By now, how could he possibly not see that this entire situation had been orchestrated by Huo Zhiyuan?

When Zhao Jingyu heard Zhang Ran’s words, she immediately became anxious and wanted to explain. But then she realized there was no anger on Zhang Ran’s face. Instead, there was a faint smile, as if he was somewhat satisfied and somewhat helpless.

In any case, there was none of the anger one would expect from someone who had just been schemed against.
