Chapter 1328 - 1330
Watching Dai Liren fidgeting, unsure of where to put his hands and feet, Gong Ruini really wanted to laugh.
If she hadn’t seen Dai Liren exuding confidence while discussing matters with his partners a few days ago, she would definitely have assumed he was an introverted guy, not good at speaking.
"What’s so funny?" Zhao Xuran felt unease seeing Gong Ruini constantly staring at Dai Liren.
Even though he knew Gong Ruini wouldn’t fall for Dai Liren, seeing his woman gaze fixedly at another man was not something he could tolerate.
"Don’t you think Dai Liren is really pulling off a ’playing dumb to catch the tiger’ act?"
"Clearly he has the aura of a super-rich, powerful person, yet in front of mom and others, he acts as introverted as possible."
"The contrast is just too much." Gong Ruini shared the scene she saw a few days ago.
Zhao Xuran didn’t think there was anything wrong with Dai Liren acting like that, "People from the Dai Family can’t possibly be harmless."
"Even the supposedly most useless Dai Limin isn’t one to be underestimated." Remembering the last project they worked on together, Dai Limin’s serious demeanor would surely surprise anyone who underestimated him.
Dai Limin, that guy is talented too. Gong Ruini initially thought he’d just invest money, either staying out of operations or constantly meddling from the sidelines.
She didn’t expect him to be fully involved, though he made quite a few blunders at first due to his lack of knowledge.
Those days really worried Gong Tao, but thankfully later he learned a lot, and though he wasn’t ready for a full debut, he could at least handle many things.
Yet, this guy maintained his facade of aimless idleness in public, making Gong Ruini truly pity Dai Limin for a bit.
This kid is just too dedicated, "When do you think Dai Limin will stop pretending?"
Thinking about Dai Limin led Gong Ruini to wonder about the other members of the Dai Family she hadn’t met.
Are the rumors about them real, how much is exaggerated or watered down?
"He’ll probably keep pretending all the way." Seeing his wife stand up for Dai Limin, Zhao Xuran felt discontented with the Dai Family brothers, both adept at acting.
"Don’t feel sorry for Dai Limin. He just likes it this way."
"Pay attention, he’ll definitely invest in this project with Dai Liren. Dai Limin’s ambitions are hidden well."
If he hadn’t hinted at it deliberately, Zhao Xuran was sure no one could tell, except for the Dai Family members.
What does that mean, is it saying Dai Limin is acting? Gong Ruini was stunned.
She couldn’t see it, but even her dad and Cai Ming couldn’t see it either.
"All of them are drama kings." Such talents could seriously become film emperors if they acted.
"Not just drama kings, like Dai Liren, who is talented abroad as well as pursuing a graduate position domestically."
Seeing talents from the Dai Family really made Zhao Xuran feel overwhelmed; sometimes, having too much talent in the family isn’t a good thing.
Because that really sparks envy, "Besides, Dai Limin’s future domestic ventures must involve heavy investments from us."
"Or he’ll just foolishly get swindled, investing in projects randomly, squandering resources." Being a good actor isn’t easy.
The clubhouse hasn’t been open for many years, but thanks to Dai Limin’s connections, it’s gaining fame in Beijing.
This is why Zhao Xuran witnessed Dai Limin mingling with those playboy friends multiple times.
"I truly admire this kid, Dai Limin; I could never achieve this level myself." Compared to Dai Liren, Zhao Xuran felt he could converse more with Dai Limin.
"You think highly of Dai Limin." Gong Ruini felt this wasn’t a good trend.
Though she now knew Dai Limin was acting and knew it wasn’t easy for him, Dai Limin was just too good at fooling around.
You could say he’s experienced all the fun spots in Beijing and surrounding areas, a true expert.
Although there’s no bad news about him, nor does he do anything outrageous, precautions are necessary to prevent him from negatively influencing her man.
"Yes, I think he’s better at concealing than me."
"There are too many old foxes in business, and my skills are too shallow; they easily see through me." Zhao Xuran often finds himself outsmarted by these old sly businessmen.
He tries to comfort himself, thinking he’s still young, and with more experience, he won’t be like this.
Yet, Zhao Xuran is really not reconciled; does he have to keep learning from losses to grow?
Before, there was no choice but to take it slow, step by step, but now with a good mentor, he’s determined to follow the mentor’s lead.
"He can actually be considered my mentor." Although admitting a mischievous younger man as a mentor could be embarrassing, Zhao Xuran calmly acknowledged it.
Dai Limin can be counted as Zhao Xuran’s mentor; oh my, this news shocked Gong Ruini.
If this news gets out, Gong Ruini could only imagine the stir it’d cause in Beijing’s social circles.
Gong Ruini could foresee people saying all sorts of things, accusing Zhao Xuran of trying hard to align himself with the Dai Family for a powerful backing.
Some might wait to see the drama, betting on Zhao Xuran’s fall from grace.
For years, countless parents have referenced him as the role model, making many envy Zhao Xuran.
Previously, they had no choice but to listen to parental advice because Zhao Xuran had no faults to criticize.
Regarding Gong Ruini’s concerns, Zhao Xuran said, "Why should I care about them?"
"If they say I’ve fallen, then so be it."
"I always remember the phrase ’public opinion is terrifying’." He never reviews those who have too much idle time away from work.
"By the way, I heard Dai Limin plans to visit the United States soon." Zhao Xuran recalled Dai Limin excitedly calling him about his upcoming trip.
Oh, the drama king is coming to the United States? What’s going on?
"Taking his entourage with him?" Knowing Dai Limin is acting, Gong Ruini could somewhat relax her vigilance toward him.
However, she really didn’t want to engage with Dai Limin’s entourage, who were all superficial flatterers and deceivers, not serious people.
Gong Ruini didn’t want much contact with them; although they could ignore them, they couldn’t ignore hosting Dai Limin when he’s in the United States.
