After Black Lotus became a reborn person, he went completely crazy

The next morning, Xia Ran got ready to leave, leaving Sha Gou alone at the hotel, as she needed to keep her appointment with the Navy Commander.

When Xia Ran arrived, the other party was already waiting. They were all old acquaintances, so they chatted casually.

The other party also specifically told Xia Ran about the current progress of the aircraft carrier.

It's already 70% complete, so it should be officially launched soon.

Xia Ran was extremely excited; this was incredibly good news.

If she remembered correctly, at this time in later generations, this unfinished ship was still lying in the Black Sea belonging to the Russians.

Good things should indeed be paired with good land, and this thing should belong to our country.

Xia Ran asked, "Is the research and development funding tight?"

The naval commander replied, quite embarrassed, "Yes, I had no choice but to come to you with this shameless request. The higher-ups simply can't approve any more funds; we're really short of money."

Before the other party could say anything, Xia Ran took out a check and pushed it over; she had prepared it in advance.

The amount was filled in before she arrived; she wasn't short of money, so she just donated it.

The naval commander stood up in shock, looked at her several times, and then asked Xia Ran in disbelief:

"Ten billion? Are you sure you're not mistaken? This check isn't fake, is it?"

Xia Ran smiled and said, "Of course it's true. Keep it. While you're at it, clear out that place and release that nuclear-powered aircraft carrier."

"Once we finish this one, we'll start researching the nuclear-powered one. A great power should have its own powerful weapon."

"You also have the most powerful, unfinished nuclear-powered aircraft carrier from the Su family in your hands?"

"Otherwise what? Didn't you see the international news back then?"

Xia Ran did it on purpose; firstly, she genuinely wanted to help our country, and secondly, she wanted to intimidate them.

After all, her company has such a large cash flow that it's hard not to be tempted.

What she donated was her own donation; she could donate, but others couldn't try to take it from her—that's a matter of principle.

She feared that some clueless and short-sighted individuals might try to take advantage of her company, so it was time to show her strength.

"I saw them, but I never dared to think in this direction. I never imagined they were all in your hands."

Xia Ran: "Yeah, let me know when you've cleared the place or chosen a new location. And it has to be quick, I can't stay in the country for long."

"No problem, I'll arrange it as soon as I get back. By the way, what have you been busy with lately? You've been away for so long!"

"I've been keeping an eye on Old M's money and the stock market lately, hoping to earn some pocket money."

"Looks like they've found a new way to make money?"

“You could say that,” Xia Ran said without hiding anything.

The naval commander nodded to indicate that he understood. He figured that the money the girl had just donated would probably be recouped in other ways in no time.

It has to be said, he is an extremely talented genius.

Then he asked, "I heard you have a boyfriend?"

"You're very well-informed. Yes, I have one, and I don't plan to change the person."

"Okay, I got it. Don't worry, I won't introduce you to anyone else." What a pity, such a wonderful girl has ended up with someone else.

After discussing some other issues, they happily took the check and left.

This trip was very fruitful.

That evening, Xia Ran arrived at the gate of the courtyard at the address that Sha Gou had sent her, as promised.

It's a traditional, privately-run restaurant that's not open to the public.

Xia Ran was actually picked up and taken inside by her own silly dog.

As soon as she pushed open the door, she saw a sprightly old man sitting in the main seat, staring straight at Xia Ran.

Xia Ran took a closer look and, lo and behold, it was someone she knew.

Isn't this the old man who reminded her to look ahead and look less at her phone during the military parade?

Clearly, Old Master Su recognized Xia Ran before she did, and a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes.

I mentally gave my grandson countless thumbs up.

You've made something of yourself, my little grandson. Sometimes fools are just lucky.

How easy could it be for a girl to sit in front of him during the military parade? His grandson must have gotten incredibly lucky.

Interestingly, this girl looks to be just over 20 years old; she looks so young.

Xia Ran also felt that the world was so small. She smiled and stepped forward to extend her hand, saying, "Hello, Grandpa. I didn't expect that we would meet so many times."

The old man also stretched out his hand proudly and said, "Of course," what a stroke of luck!

He couldn't see the girl's face clearly yesterday because she was wearing a mask, but he remembered her clear, bright eyes.

Her calm and serene demeanor seemed to penetrate everything; my first impression was that this girl was no ordinary person.

Now that I've seen her, I realize why my grandson fell for her; she's just so beautiful.

It's not simply a matter of whether someone is pretty or not.

It was the air of nobility, the unconscious ease, and the domineering presence that she exuded—qualities that other girls her age lacked.

At this moment, he looked at Xia Ran with a face full of admiration.

Su Mingzhe was completely confused. He looked at the two of them and asked, "What do you mean? You two knew each other before?"

The old man understood the moment Xia Ran reached out her hand: why she wasn't planning to get married.

How could someone who can be on equal footing with an old man like him possibly want to go to someone else's house and become a submissive wife who is restricted in every way?

The old man laughed heartily and invited Xia Ran to sit down.

"I'll listen to the old man," Xia Ran said without any hesitation, and sat down next to the old man.

Su Mingzhe, still somewhat confused, obediently sat down next to Xia Ran and stared at the two of them.

He thought to himself, "Grandpa, which side are you standing on? Calling your own granddaughter-in-law 'little friend' is messing up the generational hierarchy."

Have you forgotten about your grandson, me?

The old man looked at his grandson's still confused expression.

What's there to not understand? Your own grandson has no idea who they really are.

Aside from the phrase "fools are lucky," he didn't know what other words to use to describe his feelings at that moment.

In his excitement, the old man even blurted out his grandson's nickname, "Zhe Zhe, go and order the food for us."

"Grandpa, we're not..." Haven't we already ordered? Looking at Grandpa's suggestive look, it seems he wants to talk to Xia Ran alone.

He then looked at Xia Ran, who chuckled and said, "Go ahead, be a good girl."

Su Mingzhe reluctantly and dawdled out of the private room.

The two clearly knew each other, and there was some secret he didn't know about.

Seeing that his simple-minded grandson had left, the old man cut to the chase and asked, "Young friend, are you serious about my grandson?"

Xia Ran laughed and said with a smile, "Otherwise, everyone is so busy, who has time to play around with other people's men?"

If I'm going to coax someone, it has to be my own man. I'm rather stingy, and I won't waste my time and energy on unrelated people.

Also, he's the father I chose for my child.

As expected, "He's honest enough, so I'm relieved." It's good that he's not just doing the work of his own grandson.

Xia Ran joked, "What, is the old man afraid I'll cheat your child out of money and sex?"
