Chapter 1249 - 1251
Gong Tao listened to what his daughter said and didn’t come back to his senses for a long time.
It was really because what Ni Zi brought up was something he truly had never considered before.
Cai Meina couldn’t make up her mind about this either, so she could only look at her husband and sons, wanting to hear their suggestions.
As for this proposal from his eldest sister, Gong Ruzhi absolutely supported it in every way, but seeing that his dad and big brother hadn’t spoken, he could only quietly curl up to the side.
When adults talked, there was absolutely no place for a kid like him to speak.
"I think immigration sounds pretty good." Gong Tao had never been to the United States, but from the photos his wife had brought back and the stories his younger son told about how people made money over there in the United States, he was truly tempted in all kinds of ways.
Right now they were talking about Zhao Guangran’s immigration, but once his daughter went to the United States, would she also have to consider this immigration issue?
His daughter immigrating would be a good thing; it would save her small properties from constantly being eyed by others, but would it affect his eldest son?
Even though in recent years they had been talking about attracting overseas investment and relaxing the restrictions on contact between people in the mainland and relatives overseas, nobody knew what would happen in the future.
What if someday the policy changed again?
When Gong Tao spoke, he hemmed and hawed, and kept glancing at Gong Ruwen; it was impossible that her heart wouldn’t feel a stab of sourness.
Thinking that his own little sister was very likely going to immigrate and leave, Gong Ruwen’s heart also clenched. "In the future, if I want to see you even once, it’s going to become much harder."
If his sister felt that immigration was good and wanted to settle in the United States, Gong Ruwen had no objections at all, and in fact quite a few cadres had a bit of overseas connections themselves.
Even if some people were worried that the policy might change again, the country was already developing in all kinds of ways; nobody knew how much foreign capital had entered. Even if those at the top wanted to change policy, it would be impossible.
More importantly, nowadays as long as you had money you could buy food; you simply didn’t need ration coupons anymore, and people’s living standards were shooting up. Forcing everyone back to the era of buying things with coupons would trigger a major crisis.
"Bro, even if I do immigrate to the United States, I’ll still be making money in the mainland." Gong Ruini laughed. Even though she was someone who had time-traveled, she still understood the domestic environment quite well.
"As for the market over in the United States, we’ll let Zhao Guangran go stake his claim there." That guy was really a talent. It had only been a few years since he went to the United States, and he was already doing quite well.
Of course, he would sometimes just let himself go, and it was all thanks to that guy Dai Liren constantly pushing and provoking him over there.
Speaking of Dai Liren, Gong Ruini really had to hand it to him. Clearly he majored in mathematics, and she had thought he would turn into a bookworm buried in research.
She hadn’t expected that after she casually mentioned computers a few years ago, and after Zhao Guangran did a serious analysis of the future prospects of the computer industry, this guy actually went and took computer as an elective.
Picking up computer science as an elective was quite normal; it was also a hot major over in the United States. For a latecomer like Dai Liren, he was basically just learning some things on the side.
Gong Ruini really didn’t have high expectations for Dai Liren; she just hoped he could learn more of the basics so that when they invested in the computer industry later, he wouldn’t get fooled so badly he couldn’t tell east from west.
"Seems like Dai Liren is also interested in the computer industry, planning to start a company?" Although he had never met Dai Liren, Gong Ruwen understood a lot about him.
That kid was genuinely smart, constantly putting a lot of pressure on Zhao Guangran, and this made Gong Ruwen admire this promising young man he had never even met.
"Seems like it. After all, it’s not good to just keep investing in finance." The financial sector brought in money quickly, incredibly quickly, but it didn’t fit their development goals.
Financial tycoons really didn’t have the same impact as industrial tycoons, especially since if the former slipped up even a little, they could instantly turn into paupers. That was no joke.
Gong Ruwen didn’t understand much about that, and he didn’t want to worry about it. Being able to handle all his official duties every day already consumed most of his energy.
"Remember to count me in when the time comes." It wasn’t that Gong Ruwen didn’t care about money, but in his current post, sticking his hand out for personal gain was something he absolutely couldn’t do.
Not to mention there were plenty of people watching his every move, just waiting for him to make a big mistake so they could stomp him down for good; even if no one were watching, he wouldn’t be willing to do it.
There was a lot of risk in that kind of thing; for just that bit of money, he might as well follow his own little sister’s lead—he’d earn more and it would be much easier.
"Of course." Regardless of what the future prospects were for the company that Dai Liren was starting, just for the sake of the Dai family name alone, Gong Ruini had to invest.
These past few days, Dai Limin had been extremely on edge. Why? Not because of his future prospects—he knew his own positioning very clearly: he would honestly accumulate seniority, and occasionally act shamelessly, but within limits.
No matter what he did, he could not smear the Dai Family name, and in his work unit he didn’t need to stand out too much, but he absolutely couldn’t fall behind either.
These requirements fit Dai Limin’s temperament perfectly, but to say he had no worries at all would be a lie.
As an adult, especially as someone who would soon be getting married, he inevitably had a strong desire and need for money.
But he couldn’t do anything excessive, or if his family found out, they definitely wouldn’t let him off. They wouldn’t even hesitate to send him off to some remote frontier place.
After thinking it over for a long time, Dai Limin could only go to Gong Ruini.
Gong Ruini put down the phone in a daze and couldn’t come back to herself for a long while.
"What’s wrong?" Zhao Xuran looked at her in confusion. What had happened?
"Do you know who just called?" Gong Ruini asked blankly.
How was he supposed to know that? He joked half-seriously, "Don’t tell me it was one of your admirers."
Even though nobody had done something that stupid in the past few years, it didn’t mean such people didn’t exist.
"I’d actually rather it was an admirer." If that were the case, Gong Ruini would just reject the person outright—but that was precisely the problem: it wasn’t.
If it wasn’t an admirer, then who could it be? Zhao Xuran looked at Gong Ruini, baffled.
"Dai Limin."
Huh? How could he suddenly be calling? Zhao Xuran jumped in surprise, completely baffled.
See? Even Zhao Xuran felt this was an impossible call. "You didn’t hear wrong, it really was him."
Uh... "So what did he say?" Dai Limin had a decent reputation; although he could be a bit of a slacker sometimes, at least he didn’t do anything out of line.
The problem was, this guy had called his own wife, and his wife was acting like this. How could Zhao Xuran still care about what kind of reputation the man used to have?
"Um, he asked me out to talk."
Ask his wife out to talk? That was straight-up provocation. Unhappy, Zhao Xuran said, "Tell him to come over here and talk."
Talk outside about what? Who knew what might happen. Even though Zhao Xuran knew kung fu, in this day and age you still had to be careful; otherwise if something went wrong, he’d be crying his eyes out.
