Chapter 1336 - 1338
Gong Ruini walked out yawning, just about to ask everyone what to eat today, when she remembered that most of the group had already gone back.
Since this matter was truly not of minor significance, you could say there was no room for error, Zhao Gang and the others couldn’t sit still.
Of course, they went back with Zhao Xuran. When the heads of the family are returning, how could Zhan Jing and the others stay?
The men of the house had to start handling big matters like these, and someone had to stay by the factory.
Gong Jiaxin had already flown to Europe for an internship, and it’s expected that she’s extremely busy.
Several times when she called home, Gong Ruini only heard her excited and spirited voice.
Even without seeing her, it was clear she was absolutely happy with everything.
Zhao Guangran, with Gong Jiaming, had already started pondering how to execute this plan.
Dai Liren took Gong Ruzhi to the West Coast to handle company matters.
"Boring." She used to complain about having too many people at home, which gave her plenty of headaches.
Now with fewer people, she really felt lonely. Where to go? Gong Ruini was troubled.
Surely she couldn’t stay home all day or go for a run in Central Park early in the morning? Or head to the new house to check on the renovations?
Bored? Dai Limin, with hair like a bird’s nest, came out from Zhao Guangran’s study and heard Gong Ruini complaining about boredom.
Compared to his hectic schedule with barely any sleep, Dai Limin really wanted to smack this kid.
"Hey, if you’re bored, why not help?"
"No thanks." Gong Ruini wasn’t foolish; she knew with the thick stack of Franklins backing Zhao Guangran, he really was an evil boss.
These past few days, Gong Ruini hadn’t missed hearing Zhao Guangran’s roaring at people including Gong Jiaming.
Though he wasn’t talking to her, the scolding was so blunt that Gong Ruini couldn’t imagine what to do if those words were directed at her.
Gong Ruini thought about it and felt she would break down, "I’m not an economics major."
"I majored in law, and domestic law at that."
"Besides, I’m quite busy too, I need to be your strong support." Yes, she’s not exactly free.
You could say she’s even busier; managing household chores, cleaning two houses, she had to handle it all.
Cooking meals for four, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even snacks in the morning and afternoon, not to mention preparing midnight snacks for them.
It seems now, they don’t see her struggles, even though she’s doing miscellaneous work, her sweat is not insignificant.
Gong Ruini isn’t someone who does good deeds without expecting any return; she’s someone who speaks up and asks for praise.
All in all, these Gods of Wealth cannot have any dissatisfaction.
"Well then." Dai Limin realized if Gong Ruini also got busy, no one could handle these chores.
Not cleaning, that Dai Limin could tolerate, but not being full? That he could not.
After working so hard, if you can’t have satisfying meals, that really is a life’s tragedy.
"Let’s pretend I didn’t suggest that." Dai Limin, finding life dull, took some food from the kitchen and returned to the study to continue working.
"If I knew it would be this tiring, I really should’ve gone back with Xuran and the others." It would’ve been great; good food, good drinks, fun, life would’ve been so comfortable.
There would be followers behind him constantly flattering him, cheering him up, not to mention anyone pointing at his nose and calling him useless.
Dai Limin admitted that compared to Zhao Guangran, he was a bit of a failure, but he wasn’t familiar with such stuff before; isn’t it normal to make mistakes?
"Going back with Xuran and them?" Gong Ruini shook her head, "You wouldn’t."
Knowing these days were tough for Dai Limin, Zhao Guangran really scolded him a few times.
A few times, Gong Ruini noticed Limin’s fist clenching so hard that veins popped out, making her really nervous, worried that Limin would punch Zhao Guangran.
But Limin held back, "If you were going to leave, you would’ve left a thousand times by now. Staying is also hoping to show Guangran your effort."
"What does my effort matter? Many say I’m just relying on family." Dai Limin was unconvinced; he had to restrain himself domestically.
But abroad, he genuinely wanted to let people know he wasn’t a failure, "But you know what Guangran says."
"I know, do you know how Jia Ming used to be?" Even though Dai Limin was going back to the study, Gong Ruini stopped him.
Liren, when leaving, asked Gong Ruini to look after Limin a bit.
Since it was a future IT god’s request, Gong Ruini had to try her best to do it. She wanted to talk to Limin about it before but never found the chance.
Now that there was such a good opportunity, who cared about going to work? All this could be put aside.
"What about him?" Limin didn’t want to go in, get caught eating by Guangran, and then get mocked again.
"The scolding was even harsher, it was when Jia Ming first came to the United States to study."
She remembered a few times when Gong Jiaxin called her from overseas, hoping she could use some diplomacy as a wife to get Zhao Xuran to speak for him.
"Look at Jia Ming now, isn’t he doing well?" Even though he hadn’t graduated yet, even though he didn’t have outstanding grades, Guangran’s evaluation of him was really not low.
"Ah, no way." Dai Limin didn’t expect even someone as close to the Zhao family as Gong Jiaming had been scolded so harshly, "Wasn’t he young then?"
He really didn’t understand how Guangran, who entered the financial market at such a young age, managed to work so hard alone without any soft-heartedness from people.
"These people never relent when they should be calculating."
"Guangran’s strict demands on you are for your own good. If he always lets you off easily, would you progress so fast?"
Did he make progress? Limin had no confidence left after being scolded by Guangran, but hearing Gong Ruini say he improved, he was really surprised.
"I, I, really have improved." Limin was so excited.
Wait, he skeptically glanced at Gong Ruini, "You’re not just trying to make me feel better, are you?"
"Hoping I can persevere." Yes, that’s right, it must be that.
"If I’ve really improved, why does Guangran still keep scolding me?" Just thinking about how Guangran earlier questioned if he had a brain made Limin’s frustration boil over.
Is she someone who likes to deceive? Gong Ruini was speechless, occasionally being a wise and sincere sister, speaking nothing but truths, yet they didn’t believe her.
People these days, why do they seem to like being bullied?
"Hey, Dai Limin, are you taking that food back to Beijing?" Zhao Guangran waited and waited in the room, never seeing Limin.
And then that kid Jiaming kept rattling on about nothing, making Guangran so angry he came out looking for him, worried Limin really did something foolish out of frustration.
Unexpectedly, this fool was actually chatting away gleefully with someone else.
Humph, this brat actually has the energy to chat and joke around, which means his workload really isn’t heavy at all.
