Free Web NovelChapter 1183: Chapter 1185
"Mom, Mom." Gong Ruini stood at the arrival gate, looking at the airport exit repeatedly.
Since Zhao Xuran arrived in the United States earlier, only Cai Meina and Cai Ming flew to the United States.
Although they kept saying it was fine, Gong Ruini was really worried. Even though they had already flown here, which meant there should be no problems, it’s still normal for customs officers in a bad mood to deny entry.
"It’s okay." Zhao Xuran held Gong Ruini’s hand, indicating that there was really no need to worry.
Gong Ruini took a deep breath, "I know, but I’m worried. I also don’t know how Mom is handling the things she carried along the way."
Even though Gong Ruini had Cao Na give Cai Meina several rehearsals on how to pass US customs smoothly, the atmosphere was different.
Gong Ruini’s heart was finally at ease only after seeing Cai Meina, "Mom, Mom."
Seeing Cai Meina pushing a lot of luggage, Gong Ruini called out loudly and ran over to help with the luggage.
Cai Meina let out a sigh of relief only after seeing her daughter, "Ni Zi."
Ah, finally out, "Ni Zi, people here aren’t very nice."
Uh, it sounds like there was trouble. Gong Ruini looked at Cai Ming in surprise, but she couldn’t get anything out by asking.
"Your mom was stopped by customs. Luckily, we later hired a translator." Cai Ming hadn’t expected there to be such a service.
Oh, there’s such a service? Gong Ruini didn’t understand, but overall, they passed through smoothly.
Cai Meina was actually quite happy to get through initially, but thinking about the fee they paid was painful, "Just for that short time, we paid several hundred US dollars."
Oh, that much money? Gong Ruini was stunned. If she didn’t understand by now, she’d be a fool, "Did they really ask for that much?"
"Yes." Cai Ming also looked exhausted and quite angry.
"They said it was for translation fees, but actually, it was split among their internal staff." Cai Meina said angrily.
"It’s said that foreigners aren’t that greedy, but I think they’re definitely greedy." It’s not ordinary greed.
Gong Ruini smiled wryly. This money could have been avoided, because in the end, they would most likely let Cai Meina through, but Cai Meina would have worried for a long time.
Several hundred dollars is quite a lot, but for them, it’s really not a big deal, "Mom, if money can solve it, it’s not a problem."
"We should be glad it ended this way; otherwise, we’d be worrying if you were detained inside." Gong Ruini pushed the luggage cart towards the parking lot, talking to Cai Meina about the airport customs.
Of course, some of what she said was from Zhao Guangran, and some from Gong Jiaxin. Having been in the United States for so long, they’ve inevitably heard some complaints from people.
If there were no complaints, they’d still know a lot from hearing about others’ entry experiences.
Oh my, how terrifying. Cai Meina previously hesitated over such a small amount, but now she didn’t have a single regret.
"As long as everyone’s okay, as long as everyone’s okay." Seated in the car, Cai Meina took a sip of the water Gong Ruini handed her and finally calmed down.
"I won’t come to the United States again; it’s too dangerous here." It’s still better back home where they can speak Mandarin.
This trip was really exhausting, and sitting on the plane for so long made Cai Meina dizzy.
"Sigh, I’m so tired. I’ll take a nap first." On the plane, Cai Meina was really afraid to sleep, always feeling uneasy. Only after getting off the plane did she feel rejuvenated.
Cai Ming carefully looked at his sister, already sound asleep, and signaled for Gong Ruini to cover her with a coat, "We encountered turbulence on our way here, that kind of vibration."
Recalling that scene made Cai Ming fearful, "I’ve decided, once the child’s residence is settled, we’ll go back together."
Cai Ming didn’t want his wife and child to fly back alone; not only was it hard to care for the child, but he didn’t want his wife to fly back in fear.
"I regret it. Why did I let your aunt come to the United States alone?" Even though his wife hadn’t mentioned what they encountered on the way, it couldn’t be just bad luck.
Going back with Wan Qiweng? That’s not how it was planned. You know, Cai Ming is a busy man. If he stays in the U.S. to care for the wife and child, who knows how chaotic things will get back home.
Of course, what intrigued Gong Ruini was, "Uncle, if you stay for a few months, what happens to the company."
Currently, Cai Ming’s business empire isn’t like how it initially was, with its scale and quantity being immensely large.
What if the big boss suddenly stays in America? Even though there are managers or others, without the boss overseeing major decisions, it can’t work.
Wait a minute, Uncle must have prepared something like handing over major responsibilities to Zhao Xuran.
Oh no, Gong Ruini felt like crying. You know, Zhao Xuran is already overwhelmed with many things requiring his attention.
Previously, they could watch a movie, have dinner, and shop weekly. Now, it’s down to once a month if Zhao Xuran isn’t on frequent business trips, which would stretch to two or three months.
Luckily, they’ve known each other since childhood and understand that Zhao Xuran is genuinely busy with work; otherwise, their relationship might have ended quickly.
No, even if Uncle is her own uncle, he can’t exploit her man like this. It’s prone to issues.
"Uncle, if you don’t go back, what happens to the company?" Before waiting for Cai Ming’s answer, Gong Ruini asked again.
Well, Cai Ming truly didn’t know how to respond; it was just a sudden idea on the plane, with no concrete plans on handling responsibilities or assigning roles.
Asking Brother Zhao or the guy to handle it, he dared not even mention it.
These days, they’ve been so busy they barely have time to sleep, waiting for everyone to return and take over their tasks. Dropping such a bombshell now might explode them.
"Uncle." Oh, definitely hoping Zhao Xuran picks up the slack. The more Gong Ruini thought about it, the angrier she got. Despite Zhao Xuran’s smarts and efficiency, he’s still in his twenties.
Alas, girls always prioritize others; Cai Ming sighed, not hoping for her to think much about her family, but at least not blatantly anger them.
Fine, let’s decide just like this. Cai Ming wasn’t conflicted anymore; it’s necessary for younger people to undergo some training.
If you don’t face hardships when young, will you do it when old?
The hardships they imagined at twenty involved tilling fields in the countryside, eating whatever they could, and staying busy every day.
Seeing Cai Ming’s sudden change in expression, Gong Ruini closed her mouth. When Uncle turned serious, it meant he’d made up his mind.
At such times, it’s best to stay quiet; offending Uncle would only make matters worse.
