Shi Ran turned and looked at the teacher.
The teacher said nothing, just shook his head.
"Why?"
The milk tea shop owner slowly took off his glasses, pinched his brows, sighed, and said, "The current information is that the capital chain is broken and illegal fundraising."
"What?" Shi Ran was surprised. "What does this have to do with Tang Tang? She was taken away from class. She's only thirteen. What does the company's affairs have to do with her? Do you think a thirteen-year-old would be able to illegally raise funds?"
Even without Shi Ran's explanation, they knew the reason behind this; it wasn't that simple. Involving a thirteen-year-old child in a business matter was illogical, and certainly not a simple business war.
"Do you want me to investigate?"
"Um."
Shi Ran nodded with certainty and worry.
Normally calm, she became nervous about this matter. Shi Ran knew that Tang Tang's family had gone bankrupt in her previous life, and that Tang Tang later joined the entertainment industry and became an 18th-tier celebrity, but she had never learned the specific reason for the bankruptcy.
If nothing unexpected happens, it is very likely this incident.
The milk tea shop owner nodded and said, "The condition for exempting the rent for five years is that I help you investigate the matter first. I will collect intelligence first and give you a news as soon as possible."
"Then... can I have a cup of milk tea now?"
"Closed."
"Wasn't it okay last time?"
The boss stood up helplessly, "I saved a strawberry milkshake for you."
As he spoke, he began to prepare.
"You've done a good job investigating me. I'm very mature." Shi Ran pulled a chair for the teacher to sit down. "Guess what the teacher likes?"
"Tea!"
The next second after the boss finished speaking, the teacher nodded.
Then, Shi Ran's strawberry milkshake and a cup of tea were placed in front of them.
"Did you investigate me as well, or did you simply think I like you?"
The teacher asked.
"It suits your temperament better, Longjing. You will probably like it."
The teacher looked down at the steaming tea, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
A few days after this incident, Shi Ran still couldn't see Tang Tang. When she came to her grandfather's study to find him, she heard her grandfather talking to his secretary in the study.
The door was half-open, and I could hear the conversation.
"This kind of thing happened when Mr. Song was not at Nanhu. It was obviously an act of embezzlement of property."
The secretary's words made Shi Ran alert.
"Um."
Grandpa just responded, but his frown showed that his expression was a little heavy, as if it was something difficult to deal with.
“What do we need to do?”
"The Tang family's capital chain has long been in trouble. Even if the situation a few days ago hadn't happened, the Tang family's reckless expansion would have resulted in this. 3.1 billion in debt."
Tang family?
Debt of 3.1 billion?
Shi Ran heard these two sentences clearly.
Grandpa and his secretary were discussing the Tang family's affairs outside the study.
Grandpa is the richest man in Nanhu. It is impossible for him not to know about such a big thing happening in the Tang family. Why did he refuse to say anything when I asked him?
Shi Ran didn’t understand what had happened to the Tang family?
Shi Ran took a deep breath and approached cautiously.
"So, when Miss Shi Ran asked about the situation before, she didn't tell you the truth because she was afraid that she would have a good relationship with the young lady from the Tang family and would have to help her, so she kept silent?"
"Is this not just a simple business war? It involves the leadership. More than 20 key members of the Tang family have been arrested, and there are already insider reports that the head of the Tang family, his younger brother, committed suicide while in custody."
"What?" The secretary shook his head in surprise. "The situation is so serious, it seems the Tang family must be killed."
There was a sudden silence inside. Shi Ran clenched his hands tightly and was too nervous to breathe, fearing that he would be discovered while eavesdropping.
Fortunately, I heard my grandfather's voice soon.
"The three banks previously lent money to the Tang family without interest, but then simultaneously demanded repayment. Now they've arrested An on charges of illegal fundraising. Judging from this situation, they want to fabricate charges against An, swallow up the Tang family, and divide up their assets."
In fact, the Tang family is already in debt. Even if it is not like this, the Tang family will still go bankrupt over time.
"With Mr. Song not here, there's really nothing we can do..."
It just so happened that Mr. Song was in the south at this time, discussing food issues.
So this would be a good time.
"Let's wait and see what happens. We'll do it when we have no other choice."
"Okay." The secretary nodded. "I'll be leaving first."
When Shi Ran heard that the secretary was about to leave the study, he quickly ran away and hid in the corner. When he saw the secretary come out, he stuck his head out with a sigh of relief.
The situation of the Tang family is so serious.
3.1 billion?
To be honest, although Shi Ran's mine is developing well, he can't come up with 3.1 billion at once.
She wanted to help the Tang family, but she couldn't do it on her own. If she wanted to save the Tang family, she had to ask her grandfather for help.
Shi Ran didn't know how to convince her grandfather, so she reluctantly gave up the idea of asking her grandfather for help in helping the Tang family and left the study.
Walking outside dejectedly.
This is the second time I feel helpless since my rebirth.
The last time was when my dad was sick.
Shi Ran wanted to help Tang Tang, but didn't know how. Grandpa knew about the situation but did nothing, which meant that this was not good for the Shi family. After all, it was related to the leadership, and Grandpa didn't want to get involved.
Shi Ran sighed helplessly.
"Hello!"
Sitting in the yard, an unpleasant voice came. It was Shi Yan, I knew it without thinking.
Looking up, she saw Shi Yan standing not far away, as if he was afraid that she would scare him with bird seed like before. As if to prepare for Shi Ran's other tricks, Shi Guang stood beside him.
Lackey!
But now Shi Ran has no intention of caring about Shi Yan.
She glanced at the two of them with disgust, then turned and left.
"Hey!" Shi Yan chased after him relentlessly, seemingly not intending to let it go. "Shi Ran, I told you before not to mess with Song Yanzhe."
"What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?" Shi Ran suppressed the anger that was about to explode in her heart. She stopped, turned around, and looked at him with a frown. "I haven't seen him for a long time. If it's because of what happened at the horse farm, I advise you to stay away from me. I'm very annoyed now and don't want to see you."
"It must be because of the Tang family."
"What does it have to do with you?"
"That's why I told you not to mess with Song Yanzhe. He's capable of anything."
"What?" Shi Ran's eyes narrowed. "Shi Yan, what do you mean? What do you know?"
"Don't you know?"
Shi Yan had a victorious smile on his face.
"Everything that happened to the Tang family is because of you. Song Yanzhe asked his grandfather to deal with the Tang family. Now the Tang family is finished, and it's all your fault! You little bastard, you jinx!"
