Chapter 1273 - 1275
As the graduation day approaches, everyone’s mood is heightened.
Although graduation is something they have long been looking forward to, graduating means they can start working, which means getting paid.
They can buy the things they want.
But before that, they have to deal with final exams, especially King Yama’s subject.
"Did you know, Luo Zijun left school yesterday." Qiao Yanran was really puzzled.
After all, Luo Zijun had been staying at school all this time, seeming determined to wait until the graduation ceremony to leave, so how could she leave now?
Qiao Yanran felt that Gong Ruini should know something about Luo Zijun’s departure.
Ah, Luo Zijun left? Gong Ruini was surprised, "How did she leave?"
Ah, how come Gong Ruini didn’t know? Qiao Yanran was shocked.
"You don’t know?"
Gong Ruini really didn’t know, "How would I know."
Gong Ruini hadn’t asked about this matter for a long time. Zhao Xuran said he would handle it, and since it had become such a big issue, Gong Ruini stopped thinking about the ins and outs of it.
Has this matter been resolved? Gong Ruini was truly curious, as it was said to be a huge deal, how could it be settled so quickly.
Gong Ruini’s expression was somewhat off. In her heart, Qiao Yanran thought Gong Ruini should know something, otherwise, her expression wouldn’t be that strange.
But if Gong Ruini didn’t want to talk, she couldn’t keep pestering her.
Gong Ruini knew Qiao Yanran was skeptical of her words, and there was nothing she could do about it. She also didn’t know how the situation was progressing.
When she got home, Gong Ruini, of course, asked Zhao Xuran. She was very curious whether Luo Zijun left alone or with Zhang Yan Yang.
If the two of them left, does that mean they’re no longer needed here?
"Now the game no longer requires Zhang Yan Yang, and if he continues to stay in Beijing, life might not be easy for them."
Gong Ruini understood, it seemed Zhang Yan Yang had hidden a lot of evidence about the Zhang Family, "Now the Zhang Family can’t recover."
Could it be, is it really that terrifying? Gong Ruini thought about the Zhang Family’s complete collapse, otherwise, when they went to the United States, managing such a huge operation, they’d be short-handed.
Now it’s settled, the biggest trouble in front has been totally resolved, a relief indeed.
"Are there still any problems?" But Zhao Xuran’s expression wasn’t relaxed at all.
Gong Ruini’s heart was raised high again, could something happen, or could there be something scarier than the Zhang Family’s revenge?
What could it be, "Could it be we’ve been too conspicuous." Oh my, Gong Ruini’s face turned pale immediately.
All these years they’ve been keeping a low profile, just so as not to attract attention, and now it’s happening.
Being too conspicuous, "What if we don’t take this seriously this time, who knows how they would scheme against us next time." Zhao Xuran was a bit worried, but if he had to choose, he’d still choose to act this way.
Exactly, you can’t back down, kindness is taken advantage of, "So what do you plan to do?"
"Just feeling a bit pressured." Zhao Xuran hesitated, there were things he really didn’t know how to say.
There’s an issue, otherwise, why would he be like this, "Is this going to cost us a lot this time?"
"Possibly."
Zhang Xuran didn’t want to say, but would anything happen if he kept silent?
"We’re now a target, and this time we’ve really offended a lot of people."
Offended people? Haven’t they offended fewer people? Ever since doing business till now, they don’t even know how many people they have made envious and spiteful.
"Is there a problem with the pharmacy?" Gong Ruini was only concerned about this.
As long as the pharmacy is still there, the rest shouldn’t be a worry, it’s just about keeping a low profile.
"There won’t be any issues." Shiyu Hall will certainly be fine, having just been emphasized, in other words, it’s a highly protected entity.
Even if someone wants to target the factory, it will be a few years away, at least for the next two years they absolutely can’t make a move.
"Looks like we need to expand our base in Japan sooner."
"And you mentioned considering joint ventures, should we set up some Sino-foreign ones?"
They hadn’t thought about forming joint ventures before, thinking it was unnecessary. Despite tax incentives, they were earning a lot, considering it as contributing to the nation’s development.
Now, the change isn’t about tax incentives, it’s about wanting more security.
All need to become foreign-funded enterprises. Although Zhao Xuran deliberately downplayed it, Gong Ruini felt something was off.
"Didn’t you say last time that being foreign-funded could get incentives, I disagreed before because we never thought about foreign investment."
"Of course, we won’t pretend to be foreign-funded." In Beijing, the practice isn’t as rampant, but in Yangcheng, quite a few people were pulling strings to turn their firms into Hong Kong-funded entities.
"You see, Guang Ran is getting their green card soon, we won’t be fake investors, what do you think?"
Gong Ruini certainly didn’t mind, paying taxes honestly is fine, but since there’s a chance to save some costs, she has no objections.
"Do you think if we open a factory in the United States, it would make immigration easier for us later?"
Although the United States also covets talent, if you’re both skilled and can bring investments, you’re absolutely welcome.
"It should be easier." Right now, Zhao Xuran really didn’t have the energy to think about such distant matters, he just thought about how to build connections before leaving.
Though dismissive, Gong Ruini was quite dissatisfied with his words. But no matter how dissatisfied, she couldn’t vent.
Because Gong Ruini noticed Zhao Xuran wasn’t in a good mood, considering he mentioned getting foreign status, could this matter be particularly tricky?
Gong Ruini’s fear grew inside, what to do, what to do.
Before, Gong Ruini always thought she was competent, but now, the more she thought about it, the more she felt useless.
Faced with such a major issue, not allowed to know would make her unhappy, but even if she knew, she could only watch from the sidelines.
This feeling of helplessness, she truly hated it.
Gong Ruini gloomily returned to her room, she needed to think things through.
"What to do." Gong Ruini lay dejectedly on the couch, just looking at the view outside.
She lay there for quite a while, completely unable to think of what to do.
This feeling of powerlessness really made Gong Ruini very uncomfortable.
Gong Ruwen walked into Gong Ruini’s study, looking for a couple of books, and planned to withdraw after finding them.
"So annoying." The more Gong Ruini thought, the more uncomfortable she felt.
Someone? Gong Ruwen was really surprised, "What are you doing here?" This time, shouldn’t little sister be nestled with Zhao Xuran, how come she’s here?
And having been here for so long, really didn’t hear any movements from anyone.
Looking again at little sister’s expression, something was wrong.
