Chapter 1237 - 1239
Gong Ruwen is organizing and recording the tasks that haven’t been dealt with in the past few days.
At this moment, Gong Ruwen especially envies Gong Ruini and Zhao Xuran, jealous of their incredible memory and intelligence.
"Without a good mind, just note it down." After the envy and jealousy, what else can he do? Other than diligently recording everything, he can only rely on himself.
Gong Ruwen went to the coffee pot nearby and brewed a cup of coffee. Although he hadn’t been to the United States, under the serious guidance of his sister, his coffee brewing skills have genuinely improved a lot.
Smelling the delightful aroma of coffee, Gong Ruwen instantly perked up, "Smells good."
"It really smells nice."
"Too bad the office doesn’t allow brewing coffee."
If there were any grudges against coffee, it would be that brewing coffee is not allowed in the office, or rather, there’s no way to have a coffee machine there, unable to enjoy this wonderful aroma anytime and anywhere.
"I can get you a coffee machine, big brother." Gong Ruini walked in and saw her brother muttering to himself over a cup of coffee.
Gong Ruini couldn’t help but laugh, realizing that while she might spend on bags, beautiful clothes, and jewelry, her brother was quite thrifty.
Apart from buying a few good suits each year, his spending was minimal.
Oh, of course, when it comes to good watches, he would splurge, especially after hearing from Zhao Guangran that watches have the potential to appreciate in value, he became interested.
When it comes to investing in watches, he never hesitates, leaving Gong Ruini to wonder what good comes from buying so many watches.
It’s not the early days when wearing a luxury watch barely draws attention, but now, after years of reform and opening up, there is a pursuit of this at certain levels.
If Gong Ruwen ever flaunted a watch worth tens of thousands of Grandpa Mao, it would undoubtedly attract a lot of gossip.
Though people know his background, those who wish to attack him certainly won’t reveal his family history.
Gong Ruini was surprised to see that he was even reluctant about a coffee machine.
Gong Ruwen didn’t expect his subtle grumbling to be heard by Gong Ruini, who then offered to get him one for the office.
"No need, I don’t spend much time in the office."
"Not much, but you still need to be in the office." Gong Ruini looked at Gong Ruwen, worried, "Brother, you should take care, you’ve lost quite a bit of weight."
"I’m feeling good." Gong Ruwen knows well recently he’s been running around a lot and inevitably losing weight.
Talking about weight loss with Mom and sister was a losing topic, better to admit to it openly.
Since Gong Ruwen admitted it, Gong Ruini stopped dwelling on it.
Discussing this issue with Gong Ruwen wastes time, better to leave it to Cai Meina to handle.
In this matter, Ms. Cai Meina is undoubtedly adept, and Gong Ruwen will surely comply.
"Aren’t you busy? Why come to see me?" Gong Ruwen changed the topic swiftly, as the topic of his weight loss has been raised repeatedly by Mom.
The topic switch wasn’t forceful, but from his earlier awkwardness, it’s clear his mom often brings it up.
Indeed, his mom wants to discuss this thoroughly; wanting to be ambitious is good, but not excessively so since it’s not about making money for the family business.
"Actually, I want to talk about your wife." Ha, I don’t believe you won’t get anxious.
Something regarding Chu Ling? Gong Ruwen tensed up, "What’s the matter?"
Gong Ruwen suddenly remembered his brother mentioned Ni Zi went to see Cao Na and Chu Ling today; did she find out something?
He suddenly realized that he had been so busy lately that he hadn’t had time for dates with Chu Ling, which was something he needed to review thoroughly.
"I’ve been busy lately, I know I shouldn’t have gone so long without seeing Chu Ling, I’ll meet her tomorrow, no, the day after."
But upon reconsidering, the day after seems tightly scheduled too, sigh, which day will be available? Gong Ruwen pulled out his work diary.
No way; my brother hasn’t taken Chu Ling out for a date in ages, oh my God, Gong Ruini thought, considering how patient she was when Zhao Xuran was away for a while; little did she expect her brother fell into this mess.
The worst part is knowing exactly what the problem is and how to fix it, yet being unable to arrange a date.
That’s my dear brother; if he were my man, Gong Ruini would definitely lose her temper a bit, "I really think Chu Ling’s wonderful."
"She didn’t bring it up today, nor get mad at me."
"If it were me, and Zhao Guangran asked Zhao Xuran to talk to me about something wanting my help, I’d definitely be enraged."
"Brother, you shouldn’t worry about so many things; does a large company need you to avoid bankruptcy?" Gong Ruini genuinely dislikes seeing her brother acting like the company can’t operate without him.
With such a large company already losing money for years, they can afford this brief inflexibility.
Gong Ruwen, displeased with his sister’s impatient tone, shook his head, signaling that she shouldn’t think like this.
Gong Ruini doesn’t care what Gong Ruwen thinks, "If you keep not seeing Chu Ling, how do you think she’d feel?"
"Chu Ling is still quite sought after these days."
"And brother, you’re very sought after too now."
Ah, he’s sought after? Gong Ruwen knew about his fiancée being popular, and back when they got together, many were jealous of him.
As for those who secretly sought to provoke him, quite a number do.
"How am I sought after?" Gong Ruwen was confused.
Just knew my brother isn’t aware of these things, impatiently remarked, "Don’t you notice you’ve stumbled upon certain females more frequently lately?"
Gong Ruwen looked at Gong Ruini, surprised she knew about this.
"That’s various people wanting to see, check out the supposed promising son-in-law everyone’s talking about."
No way; Gong Ruwen was stunned, "My relationship with Chu Ling isn’t widely known?"
Gong Ruwen hadn’t actively sought out this information, but he couldn’t avoid hearing rumors like "toad eating swan meat" and whatnot.
"That was before; now it’s different. You have the support of the Dai Family, and your own capabilities." Although Gong Ruwen’s academic performance was excellent, in this era, being a nerd with good grades isn’t rare.
But as Gong Ruwen progressed, he truly amazed many, nearly being hailed as a genius.
Humph, each thinking of getting something for nothing, "Treating me as if I’d easily change my heart?"
"These days, countless people are seeking to climb high branches." Gong Ruini knows her brother wouldn’t compromise his principles for such gain.
But nowadays, those discarding principles for economic interest are countless.
"I myself am the high branch; why should I climb others?" Gong Ruwen snorted coldly.
"I said that to the Chu Family before, and I’ll say that to anyone else."
