Chapter 1295 - 1297
After Gong Ruwen talked with Chu Ling for a while, he turned his head and saw Gong Ruini and Gong Ruzhi play-fighting.
As the older brother, the first thought was that his sister might not start scolding Xiao Zhi again.
But this time, it seemed Ni Zi was indeed quite angry, otherwise, she wouldn’t have hit so hard.
Gong Ruwen felt a chill down his spine, "Luckily, I didn’t agree to sit with Ni Zi back then, otherwise..."
Otherwise, he would be the one bearing what Gong Ruzhi was enduring now, "From now on I should treat Xiao Zhi better."
"When I get to the United States, I’ll make sure to treat him to a good meal."
Chu Ling glanced and didn’t look much more, it’s not that she didn’t want to intervene, didn’t she see Zhao Xuran just standing by without intervening either?
Even her own man pretended not to see it, so as the sister-in-law, she felt there was no need to step in.
"You’re going to the United States to look for projects this time." Chu Ling didn’t believe that Gong Ruwen was really going to the U.S. just to attend Zhao Guangran’s graduation ceremony.
Of course, that’s one reason, but more importantly, she thought he must have his own ideas.
Although everyone said that after Gong Ruwen resigned, he could take over his father’s job.
Chu Ling knew that Gong Ruwen wasn’t someone who wanted to take over, at least it wasn’t the time for him to think about it.
So the biggest possibility was that Gong Ruwen wanted to find a business that suited him.
Gong Ruwen wasn’t surprised that Chu Ling would know what he was thinking, "Yeah, you see there are no surprises that Xiao Zhi is going to develop in the computing field in the future."
His younger brother was still so young, he’d been exposed to computers for a few years, but most of the time he studied by himself, and yet he could learn quite well.
Gong Ruwen didn’t dare to imagine what great achievements Xiao Zhi would have once he received systematic education in the United States.
Gong Ruini had always moved forward according to her own pace, and she didn’t have to worry about her career.
Instead, it was him, the big brother, "I used to think about serving as an official to benefit the local people."
"Now that I’ve resigned, of course, I don’t have that idea anymore. I’m thinking about how to make money well."
"In the future, supporting the family is my responsibility."
"Look at Brother Xu Ran, he’s not much older than me, yet look at his achievements." Recalling the many compliments others gave him, Gong Ruwen felt envy.
"I don’t expect to be better than Brother Xu Ran, I just hope to have my own career."
"I don’t want people to see me in the future and say I’m someone’s son, someone’s brother, someone’s brother-in-law."
"And you don’t want to say that you’re relying on the Chu Family, right?" Although Gong Ruwen didn’t say it, Chu Ling knew that compared to what he said, he was more anxious to rely on something else.
Gong Ruwen actually wanted to say it, but could he admit it so bluntly in front of Chu Ling?
"I know what you’re thinking." Not saying it was as good as admitting it, "You really are just like my grandpa said."
Chu Ling said she was not sad, but that wasn’t true, though she wasn’t very angry either.
Ah, Grandpa Chu’s evaluation of him? Gong Ruwen was really curious, although he had heard Old Sir Chu’s guidance, he had never heard Old Sir Chu’s comments about him personally.
"My grandpa said that circle isn’t suitable for you, you’re more suited for business."
Ha, Old Sir Chu actually felt that he was suited for business, was that implying he was materialistic, all about money?
"My grandpa said it’s not that you don’t know the rules of the circle, but that you’re unwilling to follow them."
Uh, Old Sir Chu guessed right at this point. It’s not that he didn’t know that a little flattery to the boss could make the boss very satisfied with him, but he really wasn’t willing to do that.
"I feel it’s tiring if every time I have to do this, I wonder what the boss likes every day, how can I handle things."
"I think with this energy, it’s better to do things better, but later I found out this path wasn’t suitable for me."
No matter how well things were done, how much more praise he got, it would still make the leaders think he wanted to rise in position.
"Then you should follow your heart, actually my grandpa said that if you make a lot of money, you’d actually give back more." Chu Ling knew how powerless Gong Ruwen had felt before.
Chu Ling thought that was because Gong Ruwen was young, his leaders might not have trusted him, but now it seemed that grandpa knew him better.
"Ah, how did grandpa know?" Gong Ruwen didn’t understand why Mr. Chu’s evaluation of him was so high at this time.
Listening to this, it seemed like once he made money, he would somehow give back to society.
The problem was he didn’t know when he could make big money, even if he did, whether he would actually spend that money to give back to society was still a question.
Is that even a question? "My grandpa once mentioned you donated a school in the western region, didn’t you?"
"It was you and Ni Zi and the others." If it weren’t for grandpa keeping an eye on it, just because they didn’t seek any publicity whatsoever, no one would have found out.
Ahhh, how did Old Sir Chu find out about this, Gong Ruwen was stunned, "How, how did he know."
They hardly made any appearances from start to finish, "This isn’t even a big deal."
Obviously, he’s an extremely busy person, how could he care about such trivial matters?
Gong Ruwen was stunned, of course, he thought more, having someone constantly watching you, that feeling really wasn’t just terrifying.
"Don’t worry, my grandpa won’t pay attention to your business dealings." Chu Ling thought for a moment.
"It’s fine, there are already many people watching." For ordinary people, it’s hard to find out about such things, but for higher-ups, it’s really not a big deal.
"In fact, having more people watching is a good thing, if someone really stretches out their hands, it would be easy to discover who."
The more Gong Ruwen thought about it, the more he felt that having people watch over them was a good thing. "I don’t believe we’re only being watched by one family."
With more people, there are going to be factions, there’s bound to be friends and foes, "The more people watching, the better."
Chu Ling had actually been worried that Gong Ruwen might resent being watched, didn’t expect he’d come to this realization so quickly.
Of course, she didn’t know whether this was his true feeling or just words.
"Don’t worry, I really think this way, I’m even thinking that charity work like donating schools shouldn’t be kept under wraps."
"Yes, that’s how it should be." Gong Ruwen suddenly asked Chu Ling, "Isn’t it true that the Chu Family’s inaction is to make me resign voluntarily."
Previously, Gong Ruwen was curious, Old Sir Chu appeared to not care, but everything in the Chu Family was under his control, there was no way he wouldn’t know about such a big matter.
Even if he wasn’t favored by Old Sir Chu, the Chu Family wouldn’t allow anyone to make moves against their people.
Even if he wasn’t married to Chu Ling, who was he, anyway? The son-in-law personally recognized by Old Sir Chu as the Chu Family’s grandson.
And now he understood, he understood everything, "Don’t worry, I got it."
Since Old Sir Chu hadn’t spoken out, he knew that even if it wasn’t Old Sir Chu who proposed this plan initially, at least he agreed with it.
Since Old Sir Chu agreed, what could he do, then he would just comply.
No way, he actually guessed it, Chu Ling covered her mouth, apparently, the one who understood Gong Ruwen the best was grandpa.
But that’s fine, better than Gong Ruwen always bottling this up, these days though he hadn’t said anything negative about the Chu Family, he still had dissatisfaction in his heart.
"Grandpa also didn’t want too much power." Although Gong Ruwen wasn’t part of the Chu Family, everyone saw his relationship with them.
Gong Ruwen understood, if it were him, he would do the same, but when it was his own sacrifice, his whole person became uncomfortable in various ways.
