Chapter 1344 - 1346
Zhao Xuran happily rushed upstairs, "You’re not awake, are you?"
If she wasn’t up, then he could give her a wake-up kiss.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xuran, full of excitement, dashed upstairs only to find Gong Ruini already awake.
"You’re awake." Zhao Xuran said with indescribable disappointment.
After doing a set of yoga moves, Gong Ruini at least started to feel a bit hungry.
"Yes, I’m up."
"Did you sort out Guang Ran’s stuff?"
Gong Ruini turned her head to see that Zhao Xuran didn’t look too good, "How did you do today?"
"Not bad." Zhao Xuran didn’t want to complain, after all, saying it out loud would really ruin his image.
But Gong Ruini’s smiling face made Zhao Xuran realize that even if he didn’t say something, it didn’t mean Gong Ruini didn’t know.
"Not bad, but Guang Ran’s temper isn’t great, he even got Dai Limin talking."
Zhao Xuran didn’t expect Dai Limin to be so consistently firm, "Why do you think Dai Limin is so determined?"
"Is he thinking of going back to speculate in the domestic stock market?" After going back this time, Zhao Xuran kept hearing more and more about the market opening up.
If there weren’t a significant chance of it happening, why would such rumors spread so widely?
Considering how long Zhao Xuran and the others have been out of the country, it’s normal for them not to know these things, but the Dai Family has people back home, they should have heard by now.
"I don’t know." Gong Ruini certainly wouldn’t discuss this topic with Dai Limin.
Or rather, she wouldn’t even know how to discuss it, how could she bluntly ask Dai Limin if he plans to trade stocks when he returns home?
"Dai Limin may look like he talks a lot, but his mouth is actually pretty tight, he won’t say what he doesn’t want to."
Anyway, after working with Dai Limin for so long, Gong Ruini hasn’t learned much from him, instead, she’s heard plenty about his life of leisure and adventure back home.
"That’s true." Given the Dai Family’s current status, if they really wanted to trade stocks, they’d have to keep it under wraps.
Even if news spreads among the higher circles, it wouldn’t leak to other levels.
Moreover, Zhao Xuran doesn’t want to know too much, "Knowing too much wouldn’t benefit us anyway."
Gong Ruini wholeheartedly agrees, "Exactly, why would we need to know all that?"
"Dai Limin has probably brought over all the money he can access back home, do you think if he’s going to trade stocks, how much he could have?"
With their relationship, if Dai Limin really wants to trade stocks, it’s a question whether he’d ask to borrow money or not.
If they don’t lend it, outside people might assume the two families aren’t close enough.
If they do lend it, and Dai Limin makes a nice profit in stocks, rumors will abound that he profited from insider information.
And this fire will definitely spread to them, saying they agreed to lend money just to get insider info from Dai Limin.
"Forget it, let’s not think so much about it." Zhao Xuran also decided not to ponder future uncertainties, "Alright, stop doing yoga now."
His wife persistently doing yoga, Zhao Xuran has occasionally seen her do some really challenging poses, wondering if some difficult partner poses could also be pulled off.
This got Zhao Xuran itching with excitement. Even though he’s inexperienced, having a more experienced younger brother certainly offered some education.
Such books, Zhao Guangran provided quite a few, but of course, these were only handed over after Zhao Xuran arrived in the United States.
If they were mailed back home, everything would be opened by the whole family, and if Xiao Zhi saw them, Zhao Guangran could only imagine how badly he’d fare.
Not to mention getting chased to the United States, at the least, in the future, they’d keep an eye on him, continuously nagging.
He thought of asking Gong Ruzhi, who visits the U.S. yearly, to take them back, but considered how curious Gong Ruzhi could be about what needs special delivery for Zhao Xuran.
In case he sneakily opened them on the way, this rendered the major shareholder who needed such education, Zhao Guangran, helpless.
Especially after finding out Zhao Xuran hadn’t crossed the line before coming to the U.S., it scared Zhao Guangran.
Had he not known his elder brother always treated Ni Zi well, Zhao Guangran would really worry about whether his big brother might be indifferent or even gay.
Not worth considering, otherwise, remembering Zhao Guangran slyly stuffing books at him, persistently comforting, Zhao Xuran would want to kick him flying.
Wait a minute, those books need to be hidden well, shouldn’t let Ni Zi discover them, Zhao Xuran suddenly recalled he mustn’t let Gong Ruini see them.
What if his wife gets angry? In Ni Zi’s eyes, he’s a respectable person who wouldn’t read these books.
"What’s wrong?" Didn’t you say not to think about these things? Then why the dazed look? Gong Ruini didn’t understand what happened to Zhao Xuran.
"Don’t tell me you got scolded silly by Zhao Guangran today." True, even she, who hadn’t exerted much, felt sore and achey.
It made no sense for someone who exerted themselves that much not to feel tired, though you can’t really compare male and female stamina.
"No way did Guangran scold me, I did quite well." Something so simple, how could he not manage?
"But I truly experienced the hardship of working." Zhao Xuran had never been directed by a boss before.
"Truly a fresh experience." Zhao Xuran sighed in reflection.
"But Guangran’s temper could use some work."
"True enough." See, he used to say how tough Zhao Guangran had it, but once he experienced it himself, his perspective shifted,
People tend to dismiss issues that don’t affect them directly.
"I plan to have a good talk with Guangran once he sorts everything out."
Although his time as a boss was short, Zhao Xuran feels a bit of confidence in being able to guide his younger brother.
"Otherwise, how could he lead a team like that?"
"Not everyone can be like Dai Liren and Jia Ming." Zhao Xuran often heard Zhao Guangran praising his own team over the phone.
He assumed Zhao Guangran had actually built an impressive team, though perhaps those with him were his schoolmates, yet it still counts as a TEAM, right?
He didn’t expect to find out that this ’team’ only consisted of three people, maybe with Gong Jiaxin as a half-member, just doing logistics.
"If he continues with small-time operations, that’s one thing, but for development, his fiery temper won’t help maintain staff." This trip to Japan was quite lucrative, hasn’t he thought of returning to the U.S. and striving to grow the finance sector?
Yet at this moment, the thought of Zhao Guangran flashed by, causing Gong Ruini to purse her lips, hmph, at crucial times he still thinks of his brother.
"Alright, aren’t you going to shower? I’m hungry now."
