Chapter 1299 - 1301
Gong Tao sat in the car, greedily looking at the scenery outside the window, "So many cars."
"But not many high buildings."
"Uncle Gong, there aren’t many people here in the United States, but there are a lot of cars. Basically every household has a car."
Every household has a car, my god, Gong Tao was about to say that Americans are really wealthy, but then remembered the wages here and kept his mouth shut.
If we also earned these wages domestically, having a car for every household wouldn’t be that difficult.
"Cars aren’t expensive, especially used ones. Here, if you don’t have a car, going out is really inconvenient."
Zhao Guangran could tell that Gong Tao wanted to learn more about the situation here, so although he didn’t slow down, he continued telling them about America.
Gong Tao listened, nodding repeatedly, "We still have a lot to catch up on."
"More than just catching up." Zhao Guangran wanted to say that it would be better to change people’s mindset first, but swallowed the words before speaking.
Some things are beyond saying— even his own parents couldn’t change a thing.
"Oh, has Brother Ruiwen really resigned?" Zhao Guangran still couldn’t believe that Gong Ruwen would resign, "Wasn’t he doing well?"
"Doing well, so what? Doing well without happiness, even the promised salary wasn’t given." Cai Meina felt angry thinking about it.
"Not only withholding pay, they even tried to smear Ruiwen, saying he left because he wanted a raise." Watching her son work so hard as a mother was painful.
Cai Meina didn’t speak up because her son said that it’s his career; she could overlook his hardships, but those people went too far.
Not paying him and badmouthing him everywhere— how can people be like this?
Zhao Guangran just knew Gong Ruwen’s resignation had to be due to something happening, but he didn’t expect it to be for this reason.
"Too much, those people really went too far. Here in the United States, they wouldn’t hesitate to take them to court, don’t expect to find any good jobs after that."
"But isn’t there a union?" Zhao Guangran remembered about unions, "Isn’t it a large state enterprise? There must be a union."
Not mentioning the union is better, as soon as it’s mentioned, Gong Tao grunted angrily, frustrated at its previous inaction, before it suddenly emerged to advise Gong Ruwen when things escalated.
"Shameless, don’t let them off." Zhao Guangran was really angry.
While Zhao Guangran’s car was filled with complaints, Gong Ruini’s car was like a curious baby constantly asking questions.
"Brother Liren, I worked on a program last time..." Don’t doubt, as soon as they got in the car, busy asking such professional questions, it could only be Gong Ruzhi.
Ban Xia and the others were asking, "How much longer until we get there?"
"We’ve been driving for so long already." Ban Xia, not having showered in a long time, especially in summer, felt his outfit was giving off a sour smell.
"Wait." The car has indeed been driving a while, but why haven’t they considered the traffic jam issue, "This time is rush hour."
"Oh." Dai Liren looked at the queue of cars outside and felt utterly helpless.
So he said the thing he hated most about New York City was precisely this.
"So it’s still traffic jammed." Chu Ling didn’t expect that even in the United States, traffic jams could be this terrifying.
Zhuge Zisu, curious as ever, pressed down the window to look around, "Wow, you can’t see the end of it."
"There’s food and drinks in the car, so you can eat a bit." Dai Liren said, then lowered his head to discuss the program with Gong Ruzhi.
"Apple recently launched a laptop, and its performance looks decent." In Dai Liren’s eyes, while food and drink can be compromised, computer matters cannot be.
"Really?" This piqued Gong Ruzhi’s interest greatly, "Is it expensive?"
The second thought for Gong Ruzhi was money; if it’s too expensive, he’d reluctantly have to give it up.
"Don’t worry, the money from selling your last program is enough to replace the computer."
"I tell you, when it runs, it’s smooth as butter."
While Gong Ruzhi heard this, he felt a bit reluctant, but after hearing Dai Liren say it like that, "I’ll give it a try, if it’s good, I’ll buy it."
Brother Liren is right, he can develop more small programs and sell them to manufacturers in need; having an effective tool enables better achievements.
What’s going on with Dai Liren, thought Gong Ruini, admitting that a good computer allows Gong Ruzhi’s research to produce faster results, but he shouldn’t be misleading him.
"You’ll know your decision was correct." After praising, Dai Liren continued discussing more topics with Gong Ruzhi.
Listening to the front seats’ seemingly alien-language conversation, Gong Ruini’s face couldn’t have looked more unpleasant.
"I hate him."
"I hate Dai Liren," Gong Ruini could no longer hold herself from speaking in Zhao Xuran’s ear.
"Actually, Little Zhi learns a lot from him," Zhao Xuran has observed the changes in Gong Ruzhi these days.
Zhao Xuran feels Dai Liren provides Gong Ruzhi with things they can’t give Xiao Zhi.
Even though the little guy always acts outgoing, he still feels pressured at times.
Gong Ruini knows this guy taught Gong Ruzhi a lot of things, "Otherwise, even if he is part of the Dai Family, I wouldn’t let him near Xiao Zhi."
His brother, raised with so much effort; she initially worried more women would steal him in a few years, but it turns out her brother was already snatched away by a villain.
"Alright, think of Guangran." Seeing Gong Ruini like this brought memories of past Zhao Guangran.
"Why bring up Guangran." When she’s in a bad mood, why mention him?
True, if it wasn’t for Zhao Guangran, how could her brother be taken so easily?
"Yes, it’s all Guangran’s fault, I want to settle accounts with him." Gong Ruini said angrily, though she was restraining herself.
What if Dai Liren heard? She feared upsetting her brother.
Settle accounts with Zhao Guangran? Zhao Xuran didn’t want to speak for her brother, but, "Do you really think discussing why Xiao Zhi got snatched by Guangran is wise?"
Zhao Xuran already imagined Zhao Guangran looking arrogantly smug at that moment.
Indeed, it can’t be said, Gong Ruini wanted to proudly say Zhao Guangran would surely mock her, but then realized it wouldn’t be right.
Back when Zhao Guangran cried about Gong Ruzhi being taken away by her, how did she respond? Saying that Zhao Guangran lacked charisma, right?
If Zhao Guangran knew her thoughts now, who knows how smug he’d be internally.
This kid’s smugness would surface immediately.
Already feeling sorrowful, she couldn’t give Zhao Guangran an opportunity to mock her.
How she feels doesn’t matter anymore; what’s important is not making herself feel even worse.
