Chapter 2208 Extra 1
Chapter 2208 Extra 1
Zhang Ran took Er Ya to visit famous cities and attractions around the world, and along the way, they met various handsome men from different countries.
Er Ya and Xie Wei held their wedding abroad, but Er Ya still lingered around Zhang Ran just like before.
Xie Wei always felt that Zhang Ran had stolen his wife, so he dared not complain and dutifully stayed by their side to protect them, acting as a free bodyguard.
After Er Ya became pregnant, she had no choice but to return to China with Xie Wei to settle down.
Zhang Ran continued to live a carefree life abroad. During this time, Gu Jinxi informed her that her grandfather had passed away and that she could return to China, but she did not go back.
When Shu Baozhu and her friends have free time, they often fly abroad to meet with Zhang Ran for a few days.
The headmistress couldn't bear to leave the children at the orphanage, so she stayed there and never left. Until she grew old and no longer had the energy, she handed over the position to Gao Yunfeng and lived in the manor waiting for Zhang Ran to return to China. Fortunately, Yang Tao was there to keep her company.
At first, Yang Tao often flew abroad to accompany Zhang Ran, but she also didn't have the energy to follow Zhang Ran around. So she took the old Wangcai back to the manor and waited for Zhang Ran to have enough fun and come home.
It wasn't until Wangcai died of old age ten years later that Zhang Ran decided to return to China.
The manor, the living room.
Fu Qin looked at Yang Tao sitting on the sofa like a wronged woman, "Is she really coming back?"
Yang Tao nodded to her for the third time to assure her, "She has already boarded the plane."
“Then I’ll go pick her up at the airport later.” Fu Qin’s face showed even more resentment. “When I see her, I’ll ask her if her heart is black.” Ten years ago, Zhang Ran suddenly went abroad, leaving behind a huge mess in China. She had no choice but to take over everything. At first, she worked hard without complaint and was full of gratitude.
After Zhang Ran went abroad, Luo Youdi and the others transferred the shares back to Zhang Ran's name and entrusted them to Fu Qin for management.
Fu Qin, who managed the finances of all the companies under Zhang Ran's name, felt like an octopus, her initial gratitude turning into resentment. Although Zhang Ran told her she wouldn't be paid a salary and could spend her money as she pleased, how could she possibly have time to do so?!
Zhang Ran owns tens of thousands of properties, so she can have a villa to live in no matter which city she goes to.
She has bodyguards to pick her up and provide close protection when she goes out, so she doesn't need to buy a car.
Yang Tao had arranged everything for her, from food and clothing to daily necessities, so she didn't have to worry about anything.
Shu Baozhu sends a lot of jewelry to the manor every month; she could wear it on every single toe and still not finish it all.
LY is already a top luxury brand, and every quarter they send a batch of the latest clothes to the manor. She can't wear them all, and her wardrobe is full of new clothes with the tags still on.
Even after going abroad, Zhang Ran didn't stop investing, with businesses scattered all over the world.
In addition to managing domestic businesses, she now has to travel abroad every month.
Even an octopus wouldn't be enough for her; she had to hire dozens of finance staff to help share the workload before she could finally catch her breath.
Looking at Zhang Ran's WeChat Moments, it's always her going to this tourist attraction or taking photos with handsome guys at that attraction, living a carefree life.
Fu Qin's resentment grew stronger with each thought, almost turning her into a vengeful ghost. "If only I had never studied accounting back then!" If she hadn't studied accounting, she wouldn't have been framed and imprisoned; if she hadn't studied accounting, she wouldn't have owed Zhang Ran such a huge debt, and now she's selling herself to pay it off.
"You only complain a few times in front of me," Yang Tao teased her with a smile. "But when you see Xiaoyue, you'll just smile like an idiot and won't say a word."
Fu Qin kept checking her phone for the time, stubbornly saying, "When I see her this time, I'll definitely tell her I'm resigning."
The brilliant lawyer Song Song trained Si Ni to be her successor, and all cases involving Zhang Ran's company were handled by Si Ni.
Song Song retired gracefully after achieving his goal and settled in another city, fearing that he would run into Zhang Ran.
Qi Hongyan fled abroad, and Zhang Ran also fled abroad, but their escape attempt failed.
Yang Tao didn't take Fu Qin's words seriously at all. Whenever she was tired, she would complain about quitting her job, but over the years she had never really complained to Zhang Ran and had managed Zhang Ran's domestic and foreign businesses in an orderly manner.
Footsteps approached, and Wu Ni, dressed in a butler's uniform, walked up to the two of them. "The Dean is asleep."
With a large number of people at the manor, Yang Tao is finding it difficult to keep up and would like to hire a butler to manage the household.
After a public recruitment process, Wu Ni was selected and has now become the new housekeeper of the manor.
Despite her young age, she always had a stern face, which made people afraid to act rashly.
As for Principal Zhang, he is getting old and his health is deteriorating, so he often has to rest in bed.
At Zhang Ran's request, Fu Qin hired a family doctor at a high price to take meticulous care of Principal Zhang's health. Normally, there wouldn't be any problems, but Wangcai's passing saddened her and caused her to fall ill.
“By the time we see Xiaoyue, she will be cured.” Yang Tao glanced at the time after saying this, then stood up. “Let’s go pick her up at the airport together.”
The airport was packed with people, fans were shouting and shoving, and all security personnel were deployed to maintain order.
The VIP passage was quiet, with dozens of men in black standing on both sides, their backs ramrod straight, but their heads down, not daring to look at the person in the middle.
Ten years have passed, and Zhang Ran's appearance has not changed at all.
Money and power are the best tonics for life; she lives a carefree and happy life every day, so naturally she doesn't age.
She walked briskly, eager to return to the manor to see Wangcai one last time.
Initially, Zhang Ran took Wangcai with her when she went abroad. However, as the years passed, Wangcai grew old, lost its teeth, and became unable to walk. Zhang Ran had no choice but to have it sent back to China to live out its old age.
Wangcai was already dead, but as per Zhang Ran's request, Yang Tao froze the body in a freezer until Zhang Ran returned and buried it.
At the end of the passage stood a woman, none other than Qiu Yu, whom she hadn't seen for many years.
In order to manage Zhongxia Security Company and train more excellent bodyguards, she has been tied down by the company in recent years and unable to leave the country.
"Boss, you're finally back in the country." Qiu Yu looked Zhang Ran up and down. After not seeing her for many years, her appearance hadn't changed at all.
Zhang Ran was also looking Qiu Yu up and down, and noticed that she had lost a lot of weight.
Before meeting Zhang Ran, Qiu Yu spent years fighting in underground boxing matches, and when he wasn't fighting, he lived a life of debauchery. Now that he's older, all the aftereffects have appeared. He suffers from pain on rainy days, often experiencing insomnia and losing a lot of weight.
Zhang Ran raised an eyebrow and teased, "You've lost a lot of weight. What's wrong? Can't you eat because you've been missing me?"
"Who would want a bastard like you?" Qiu Yu feigned a sneer, her gaze falling on the short-haired girl behind Zhang Ran.
The little girl who followed Zhang Ran to practice martial arts back then is still following Zhang Ran now, but she has become her personal bodyguard.
Following Qiu Yu's gaze to Xinghua, Zhang Ran casually explained, "Dongchan took her in as her goddaughter, and now she's responsible for protecting me."
Back then, Xinghua went to live in Anle Orphanage with her mother, Xing'er. She studied during the week and on Saturdays and Sundays, she would go with other children to Zhongxia Security to learn martial arts to protect themselves.
Many orphans complained about the hardship and exhaustion, and some even gave up halfway. Only Xinghua showed amazing talent in martial arts, which caught Dongchan's attention. Dongchan secretly gave Xinghua a few pointers.
Over time, Xinghua became Dongchan's apprentice.
