Chapter 1252 - 1254
Gong Ruini angrily stuffed a French fry into her mouth and took a sip of plum juice.
"Don’t you think he’s going too far?" Gong Ruini complained to Chu Ling.
"Too far, definitely too far." As her sister-in-law, Chu Ling was definitely supportive of Gong Ruini.
"It’d be understandable if he didn’t know, but clearly he knows, why wouldn’t he say something?" Chu Ling was also puzzled why the Dai Family hasn’t been heard to have any business investments in their circle.
Many families might not have fully ventured into business, but some people would invest a portion; the Dai Family doesn’t even have investments, which is really strange.
See, even Chu Ling said so, but it seems like she doesn’t know much about it. How could this be?
Could it be that the things happening in the Dai Family are too concealed? Gong Ruini was very curious, since even Chu Ling doesn’t know, there was no need to waste more time on this.
"Sis, did my brother ever mention it to you?" Gong Ruini hadn’t actually considered immigration before, but her father encouraged it, and she was really not opposed to the idea.
However, her brother had no thoughts on her immigrating; he just hoped his sister would live well.
But the matter couldn’t be considered resolved just because her brother didn’t oppose.
The key was to ask Chu Ling, Gong Ruini had a good relationship with Chu Ling because many family matters were directly discussed with Gong Ruini or Gong Ruwen rather than Chu Ling hearing from outsiders.
Things Gong Ruwen mentioned to her? Recently, so many things were brought up by him, what is it he wants to ask about?
Chu Ling’s face showed confusion, making Gong Ruini hesitate; she truly didn’t understand why her brother hadn’t mentioned it to Chu Ling. Was he worried she might oppose?
"What’s happened?" Chu Ling saw Gong Ruini’s face become tangled and wondered if they weren’t encountering something difficult.
Well, forget it; better to ask again, acting as if she didn’t know whether her brother brought it up.
"Aren’t you about to go abroad? I was thinking if possible, I’d like to get married and have kids in the United States." Zhan Jing never mentioned the matter of having children.
Even though Gong Ruini is an independent woman, she doesn’t have much opposition to having children; Zhao Xuran really delayed his marriage age for her.
So sometimes people can’t just be capricious, focusing on her contributions, completely forgetting Zhao Xuran’s efforts.
What does this mean? Chu Ling didn’t understand, are they trying to say their sister’s wedding will happen before Gong Ruwen’s?
Many people pay attention to the order of elders, but even when Chu Ling’s brother got married, this was not strictly followed, so the Chu Family truly doesn’t care about such matters.
Listening to Chu Ling, Gong Ruini realized she hadn’t actively thought about it.
"Sis, if possible, I think maybe I could just switch to immigration when the time comes." Gong Ruini said in a very low voice by the end.
Ah, Gong Ruini wants to immigrate? Her words surprised Chu Ling.
Though surprised, soon she found it quite normal, "How could you suddenly think of immigrating?"
Having already planned to study abroad, Gong Ruini never mentioned immigration before, even though Zhao Xuran was already studying in the United States and was thriving there, she never said she wanted to immigrate.
Why this sudden thought, Chu Ling doesn’t believe Gong Ruini would deceive her endlessly; surely something has happened.
Also, the situation must be quite significant; otherwise, Gong Ruini wouldn’t say such things.
"It’s not sudden, but the result of much consideration."
"Sometimes having a foreign status is really important, like potential tax reductions." More profit, with less tax burden, would be better.
"People often come to audit."
"It’s not that the company is evading taxes; we pay all due taxes. However, we’ve been audited countless times already; I refuse to believe my family’s reputation is so poor that they pick us every time."
"Clearly, our factory doesn’t have such issues, so there’s really no need for constant monitoring, yet authorities keep checking us."
Originally, as per Zhao Xuran’s opinion, since the incident already happened and no one would stand up as a witness, there was no need to mention it.
But thinking about it made Gong Ruini quite frustrated, "If we were foreign capital, I think it wouldn’t be so troublesome."
Although preparing a lot of materials and modifying documents is necessary, it’s better than constant harassment.
Ah, being randomly audited? This can be finessed, but fooling knowledgeable individuals, are they genuinely brainless?
"Also, the ointment formula almost got stolen; luckily, our initial design was pretty good."
What, the ointment formula almost got stolen? Chu Ling was shocked by what Gong Ruini told her, "Why would anyone steal this?"
Stealing money, she could understand since it can be spent, but stealing this—why?
See, even Chu Ling thinks it’s not significant, why would she think so; wouldn’t their elders consider it not a big deal? Otherwise, how could anyone think it’s not serious?
"Yes, many people would wonder, what’s the point of stealing?" Gong Ruini could only patiently explain to Chu Ling.
"If someone steals the formula and processes it slightly, they can manufacture Black Ointment identical to Shiyu Hall."
"Then they can mass-produce it and profit immensely."
"Maybe in a few days, they’ll sell the stolen items to China and earn our money."
If some higher-ups don’t take matters seriously, then let’s analyze it properly for them.
Mr. Chu once participated in arduous resistance, and countless good Chinese sons and daughters sacrificed a lot to drive them away.
Now knowing the expelled people from R Country have such intentions, how could they not be excited?
No way, Chu Ling stood up abruptly, "How could they be so outrageous."
Outrageous? "Compared to their outrageousness, some people’s backstabbing is far more egregious."
Since the matter has already been exposed, Gong Ruini didn’t mind stepping on them more.
Even if the Zhang Family finds out, so what; we’ve long been at odds.
Did someone contribute to this matter? "Do you have evidence?"
"I don’t have evidence, but someone without money suddenly turning wealthy, if not due to such acts, I truly don’t understand how they could become so rich."
Though Chu Ling felt Gong Ruini seemed overly speculative about this, it warranted investigation; otherwise, if the formula got stolen and replicated for domestic sales, such audacious acts might truly occur.
