Chapter 1202: Chapter 1204
Gong Ruini didn’t care about Zhao Guangran’s various unhappiness over such a trivial matter.
She was thinking of shopping for some things, as she would be going back soon, and wanted to buy a brand-name bag for Zhan Jing.
Having bought one for Zhan Jing, wouldn’t she also get one for Cai Meina and Wan Qiweng?
With a nice bag, at least the clothes should be changed, and then there are shoes too.
Fortunately, Zhan Jing and the others don’t wear jewelry, or if they do, they use something to cover it up and won’t blatantly wear nice items out.
As soon as Gong Ruini entered the mall, she got into the shopping rhythm actively, and despite Cai Meina being right there, she couldn’t stop her.
Just watching Gong Ruini shopping non-stop.
"Dear, there are a bit too many bags," Cai Meina casually glanced at the prices of the bags.
Although a bit expensive, it’s alright, but isn’t this bag a bit old-fashioned?
Cai Meina glanced at Zhao Xuran, signaling him to come out and persuade a little, or else a girl carrying so many things back will be gossip fodder.
Even if they are wealthy, shouldn’t be so extravagant.
"It’s fine." Although Ni Zi didn’t say who it was for, from the similar prices of the three bags, he knew what it was for.
"Mom, which one do you like?" Gong Ruini didn’t feel the need for any surprise; buying is to let mom know sooner.
Ah, it’s for her? Surprised, "Mine?"
Gong Ruini nodded, "Whichever you like, we’ll go check out clothes and shoes next."
Since they’re already here, just shop more.
Ah, clothes and shoes too? It’s so expensive here, Cai Meina really feels reluctant.
"How about not buying them, they’re expensive." Though quite liked, spending so much on clothes and bags, Cai Meina felt all sorts of reluctance.
Oh, the thrifty old lady, of course, Gong Ruini had her reasons for buying them things, "We plan to do business in this, but talking alone won’t do, we’ve got to let them know."
Their parents don’t mingle with poor folks, selling to them is sure to make a profit.
Originally, Gong Ruzhi proposed the purchasing business, and Gong Ruini thought it was good, but facing kids, it was somewhat inadequate.
Kids are treasures at home; parents with money certainly spare no expense for them, and rich adults also spend on themselves.
Comparatively, selling to wealthy adults is definitely more profitable, and in this aspect, they have models and sales representatives, like having Gong Tao and others wear these clothes for social events.
Given the high-quality clothing and meticulous craftsmanship, especially the excellent fit, Gong Ruini has no worries about lacking customers, the only worry is whether someone might get overly excited and place too many orders, making it impossible to fulfill them.
Ah, purchasing business? What kind of business is this, and why invest so much before even starting?
She knows the business definitely makes money, but is it really that profitable?
"It’s probably to make us happy." Cai Meina thought more and more that this must be the case.
"Not useless, mom, think of wearing these clothes out, drawing people’s attention, they would ask where they came from, you can briefly mention."
Even if people might say how shameless they are using family in business, what does it matter, as long as they make money.
Though a bit tacky and overly profit-driven, it’s to make a strong advertisement, otherwise, even though people know Gong Ruini went to the United States, would they think of them doing this business?
They absolutely wouldn’t think that, hence it should be a bit tacky.
Going out to advertise, Cai Meina really doesn’t know how their kids think, with idea after idea, "Can it make money?"
Can it make money or not? Gong Ruini laughed, "Definitely profitable." Right now, earning wouldn’t be too much, but in the future, it might be a massive effort in making money.
Making money is enough, this matter is led by Gong Ruzhi, which relieved Cai Meina, concerning the eldest grandson and youngest son, indeed she worried about the youngest.
Even though later Gong Ruwen ventured into politics, merely because of favoritism causing the eldest to yield a bit.
Although Gong Tao never discussed the issue, Cai Meina herself once gathered courage to ask her husband, his reply was not to overthink.
If her husband sat down for a good discussion on this, she would’ve thought less, but none, neither husband, son, nor daughter discussed this matter with her.
Today she happened upon this topic, she really didn’t want to miss out, otherwise finding another chance would be uncertain.
"I wish to talk about your brother and your younger brother." Cai Meina seizes Zhao Xuran’s checkout moment to pull Gong Ruini aside.
Talk about Gong Ruwen and the others? First reaction is what’s there to talk about, everyone’s future paths are almost set, even though Gong Ruzhi isn’t too old now, he’s long had his aspirations.
Wait, wouldn’t she be unaware though? But this sort of thing probably shouldn’t be discussed with her; observing herself should have clued her in.
"Mom, are you worried elder brother has ideas." Gong Ruini didn’t beat around the bush with Cai Meina.
That’s what she asked, though the daughter’s too straightforward, saying it like that, Cai Meina lowered her head, really lacking the face to look at her daughter.
Afraid that her daughter would show a disdainful expression.
"Elder brother truly isn’t interested, plus brother and sister-in-law have their investments and as long as these businesses are intact, their life won’t be bad." Not to brag, but Gong Tao and his wife have many business holdings, though aren’t Gong Ruwen’s investments few?
"As for Xiao Zhi, he has his ideas." Ever since young, he’s been a proud child, upon seeing siblings venture out, he too has thoughts.
"This business is actually Xiao Zhi’s starting point." Couldn’t help recalling once they returned to the Northeast for summer break, the family’s book rental business led by Gong Ruzhi and Wan Yihui went really well.
How young he was, really astonishing.
That business, indeed Cai Meina remembers, and back then, Wan Qiweng had some thoughts, "The business was so minor."
"Xiao Zhi back then was so young. Through it, we made money too." Without book rental income, even with subsequent ideas, there’d have been no way to execute.
"Yes yes yes." Being told by her daughter, Cai Meina felt immense pressure, though she muttered inwardly, she couldn’t refute.
Looking at the unwilling to lift head Cai Meina, Gong Ruini was completely helpless, precisely what pressure could have caused an elder to become so scared.
"Mom, don’t overthink, we’ll strive ourselves." Cai Meina’s little thoughts, everyone truly lacked the time and energy, better to use such time to earn money by trying hard.
Trying hard themselves, indeed, the statement, many envy her wise children, saying their kids were mischievous.
Yet don’t know her as a mom under such repression, knowing the children’s dealings, nearly only at a result stage.
Rebuffing or supporting, no matter the matter, devoid of opportunities, truly making a mother so unfulfilled.
