Free Web NovelChapter 1208: Chapter 1210
When his son and daughter-in-law returned, Gong Tao naturally arrived early at the airport to wait.
Since his daughter-in-law and son had mentioned earlier that they were constantly buying things, he specifically drove a big bus to pick them up.
Just when he was prepared to see each of them pushing three or four suitcases, he was surprised to find that each only brought at most two suitcases.
How could it be? Weren’t they on a shopping spree? Is this what they meant by a shopping spree?
Gong Tao couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief; otherwise, with his wife’s shopping spree rhythm, he really couldn’t handle it.
"Dad, you seem to be relieved." They always said you can’t see through your own dad, but looking at his relieved expression, it’s not hard to guess what he’s thinking.
I really don’t know how my dad convinces his partners and opponents, they actually say he’s deeply shrewd.
This girl really doesn’t give her dad any face. Gong Tao wanted to tap his daughter’s head and tell her that it’s not easy to tease elders.
"I’m not relieved at all."
"You don’t know styling your mom beautifully gives me face too." His wife behaved so well that many friends were envious.
If someone’s got talent, has money, has education, how could they not be jealous?
These words are pleasant to hear, but whether they’re truly generous, you have to try, "Dad, Mom did buy quite a bit. Some things have already been mailed back home."
Actually, Gong Ruini later regretted a bit, as at this time there was no express delivery. Even with postal delivery, who knew when they would deliver.
Sigh, nowadays there’s no express delivery, otherwise, it would be faster.
Many industries are reforming now, but some departments still have a southern face.
Express delivery, when will it appear, or should we start a courier company?
Gong Ruini thought of this idea, thinking that it could really make money, but later dismissed it.
You can’t help it; to start a courier company, you must have vehicles. Trucks nowadays are really in demand, and some areas aren’t very stable, getting into trouble isn’t a small affair.
Forget it, let’s wait a few years to start a courier company, no wait, invest instead, no one has the energy to manage it.
"Dad, we shipped about over a hundred pounds of stuff this time." Gong Ruzhi smilingly reported their shopping haul.
Over a hundred pounds of stuff, my goodness, Gong Tao was shocked, knowing that his wife brought back a lot of things, but he didn’t expect it to be that much.
"What are they?"
"Clothing, shoes, and stuff, all pretty expensive." Gong Ruzhi really wanted to see his dad’s change of expression.
Oh, clothes and shoes, huh? Gong Tao didn’t see a problem. How expensive can they get?
Moreover, aren’t they making money to enjoy themselves?
Gong Tao felt he had a good mindset, but even the best mindset was shocked by the reported prices by Gong Ruzhi.
The car suddenly braked hard, "What, how much did you say?"
Gong Ruini, lying down to rest, almost rolled off her seat with the abrupt stop, "What happened?"
Even though there were many cars, it wasn’t crowded enough to justify a sudden stop.
"I just reported the price of the clothes." Gong Ruzhi regretted it a bit. He merely wanted to see his dad’s expression change, not expecting such a strong reaction.
Luckily nothing happened, else he would feel guilty for a long time, "Dad, I’m sorry."
Gong Tao waved it off, and then slowly started the car again, "I just didn’t expect them to be this expensive."
"Dad, the price is high, but they’re really worth it." This time, they didn’t choose clothing with trendy elements, so although they aren’t very fashionable, at least they can be worn for a long time.
Cai Meina started to worry, concerned that her husband might feel uncomfortable. She actually regretted it too, thinking of returning the clothes, but her daughter stopped her.
"It’s not about being expensive; I really don’t find them expensive." He turned and saw his wife’s nervous expression.
"I just wasn’t prepared, dear. There’s a social gathering two days later, dress up beautifully, and we’ll go." Humph, while his wife wasn’t around these days, some people started to act boldly.
Gong Tao already had a headache. Just because his wife is away, some think they can make fun of him?
"Wear the most expensive clothes, and carry an expensive bag, overwhelm them." They really think they’re somebody; don’t they think about why he hadn’t reacted before because he didn’t want to overly express.
Since someone is daring, then let’s teach them a lesson. He’s a man with ambition, not just anyone can be his partner.
Asking Cai Meina to dress beautifully, there’s a catch. Before, when attending such gatherings, he never mentioned it like this.
Since he took it so seriously this time, something’s definitely up, and it’s not just a small issue.
Among everyone, only Gong Ruzhi and Wan Yihui seemed clueless, but Zhao Xuran and Gong Ruini both understood.
Even Cai Meina herself finally understood, realizing someone’s trying to steal her thunder.
"I’ll definitely dress beautifully, Ni Zi, help me do makeup the day after tomorrow." Although Cai Meina found makeup troublesome, she couldn’t afford to be careless this time.
She’s easy-going, but that doesn’t mean she’ll just give up her man, she isn’t stupid enough to do such a foolish thing.
That’s just the outcome they’re hoping for, "You don’t know, now when Zhao Gang goes out, he always takes Zhan Jing."
Gong Tao really didn’t understand, though gatherings with friends to discuss recent events could potentially lead to collaboration.
It was unexpected that the atmosphere recently became so different, becoming so unfamiliar and boring.
It had come to this, and Gong Ruini remembered how Gong Tao used to have a lot of gatherings, but ever since the atmosphere changed, he gradually stopped participating, except for one or two gatherings organized by close friends.
After all, living in society, one can’t live without friends and gatherings, and these gatherings were quite proper.
Unexpectedly even these changed, Gong Ruini thought her dad was being silly, "Dad, why don’t you organize activities?"
Her dad and Zhao Gang both had decent societal standing. It wasn’t impossible to call some friends to discuss business.
"Yeah, Uncle Gong, you should gather a team yourself. When the club opens, they’ll be potential customers." After all, fees aren’t cheap, and good service is one thing, but it depends if they’re willing.
Zhao Xuran also didn’t intend to rely solely on advertising to attract customers. This way you can’t discern customer quality, the best is word-of-mouth.
And the first batch of customers would be partners Zhao Gang worked with.
Organizing these isn’t impossible, but isn’t it troublesome? Gong Tao thought if someone else organized, he could just attend.
It’d be absolutely no trouble, but with such a strong request from his daughter, he decided to organize one himself and invite friends he found agreeable.
Especially important was that Gong Ruini promised to make arrangements for it, making it impossible for Gong Tao to refuse organizing a gathering for his friends.
