Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten

Chapter 1094 - 1096: Brothers in Adversity

After Zhao Xuran arrived at the border, he began to inquire about things, even though some pioneers wanted to keep it a secret.

But could they really keep this a secret?

Zhao Xuran, with money paving the way and enough combat power, quickly gathered all the information he needed.

"Ni Zi, I have a feeling that we’re going to make a big profit here."

Zhao Xuran couldn’t believe even such useless things could be sold. So, wouldn’t it be even easier to sell good things?

Gong Ruini knew that with Zhao Xuran on the job, he could absolutely handle this smoothly. Just look at how quickly he found out all these things. He’s definitely impressive.

If Zhao Xuran were right next to her, she would definitely reward him well.

"Is there no reward?" Zhao Xuran waited for a long time, yet he didn’t receive any praise or reward from his wife, leaving him feeling quite wronged.

He rolled his eyes. A reward depends on location too. One of them is at the northeast border, while the other is in Beijing. The distance isn’t a small gap.

"I don’t care." Of course, if Zhao Xuran were right in front of Gong Ruini, he wouldn’t act so coy, feeling like it would ruin his image.

Unfortunately, he’s in the Northeast now, and even if his words sound a bit odd, they can’t drag him back.

Gong Ruini was stunned. Is this the Zhao Xuran she knows? Or is Zhao Guangran possessing him?

Gong Ruini was puzzled in many ways, although she wanted to hear Zhao Xuran acting coy a bit more. But then, she thought better of it.

She shouldn’t provoke Zhao Xuran. Seeing a live version would be even better, with the sounds and movements, it would be even more exciting.

Thinking of this, Gong Ruini decided she should properly praise Zhao Xuran, encouraging him to do even better in the future.

Gong Ruini repeatedly kissed her hand, saying, "Here’s your reward."

Kisses, although just from the sound you can tell how hard his wife is kissing, still, no matter how hard, it’s not kissing him.

Even worse, Zhao Xuran could feel a certain part of his body reacting. After taking several deep breaths, he managed to calm that unruly part.

Zhao Xuran thought that he was far away in the Northeast, so Gong Ruini wouldn’t notice his odd behavior.

Unfortunately for him, who is Gong Ruini? How could she not notice? When she heard Zhao Xuran taking cold breaths frequently, she knew someone must not be behaving.

Gong Ruini wanted to tease him with a few words but decided against it, not worried about it backfiring but concerned about what if someone gets impulsive.

Impulsiveness is a devil; she mustn’t disrupt her own man.

So, one kept reciting the Heart Sutra while the other was determined not to give anyone an opportunity, and finally, they wrapped up the call.

Gong Ruini put down the receiver and laughed, and it was a hearty laugh.

You know it’s rare to see Zhao Xuran in such an awkward state, unfortunately, they can’t see it.

Gong Ruwen was in a great mood today, came in to share good news with Ni Zi, only to hear his sister laughing happily.

There aren’t many people or things that can make his sister laugh, and noticing the receiver in her hand.

It seems Zhao Xuran must have called.

"What did Xuran say?" Since it’s good news, it should be shared.

Turning to see it was Gong Ruwen, Gong Ruini didn’t hold back her smile and recounted the call from Zhao Xuran with a beaming face.

Ah, no way, he’s already found out all this so smoothly, truly worthy of Zhao Xuran.

Gong Ruwen gave a thumbs up to Gong Ruini, indicating it’s impressive.

"Just normal, when Brother Xuran takes the lead, success is guaranteed." Otherwise, why make such a big fuss and get disappointed.

Gong Ruini also noticed the previous expression on Gong Ruwen’s face was happy, it seems something joyful happened.

"What’s up?" Gong Ruini asked happily. Judging by the time, it seems the admission scores should be out by now.

Chu Ling’s grades are good, and based on last year’s score line, going to the Foreign Language University shouldn’t be a problem, but until the notice arrives, the anxiety is real.

Oh, Gong Ruwen opened his mouth wide. He had indeed been busy with various things recently, and hadn’t really paid attention to whether Chu Ling had received an admission notice.

No way, did his own big brother really not ask?

If it were her boyfriend, Gong Ruini wouldn’t mind kicking him far away and finding a new one.

And he didn’t even consider how many times in a lifetime someone goes through college entrance exams and how often they receive a university admission letter.

Gong Ruwen, being stared down by Gong Ruini, also realized he had done something wrong, but when it came to Chu Ling, he felt guilty for not sorting things out.

But towards his own sister, Gong Ruwen wanted to say that he didn’t do anything wrong; he absolutely did right by her.

Now Gong Ruini felt somewhat embarrassed about doing something foolish, "Bro, no matter how important my matters are, you have to think about how for Chu Ling, this is a major life event too."

Although Gong Ruini had previously worried whether her big brother would forget her once he has a wife, from his current reaction, it seems that hasn’t been the case yet.

Gong Ruini was quite satisfied, "Bro, go call Chu Ling, and ask about the status."

Gong Ruini had thought it through. Nothing major happened recently, else she definitely wouldn’t have said it like that.

Oh no, this needs to be pointed out, what if he forgets?

"Bro, remember to take Chu Ling out to dinner."

"I think the movie currently playing is good; remember to take Chu Ling to see it." Gong Ruini recalled that last time while shopping, Chu Ling mentioned a movie was good.

It seems it’s still showing, so they should contribute to the box office.

"Also, remember to buy clothes for Chu Ling." Gong Ruini instructed Gong Ruwen one by one.

Rolling eyes, he used to have low emotional intelligence and didn’t know how to get along with a girl, but now he’s really not a rookie, really not clueless.

But looking at how tense his sister was, Gong Ruwen quietly listened to his sister’s instructions one after another.

As for the things he had been obsessing over, he had long forgotten them.

"Alright, off you go."

"Also, remember to invite Chu Ling back home for a meal." Gong Tao and his wife are quite satisfied with Chu Ling as their daughter-in-law, appreciating her for being considerate and sensible.

More importantly, both their son and daughter are satisfied, which is more than enough for Gong Tao and his wife.

"Got it, got it." Back then, he felt Aunt Zhan and the others were exceedingly good to Ni Zi, even pushing their own son Zhao Xuran aside. At that time, Gong Ruwen felt quite sorry for Zhao Xuran.

But looking at his parents’ attitude toward Chu Ling now, Gong Ruwen wouldn’t dare laugh at Zhao Xuran, because his own position is not higher than his, and his situation is worse.

After sending off Gong Ruwen, Gong Ruini continued to tackle problems. Ever since a couple of her competent assistants went abroad, she truly felt the shortage of manpower.

To make up for the lack of manpower, Gong Ruini called in Zhan Banxia and the others. Regardless of their grumbles, Gong Ruini didn’t care.

As a shareholder, you can’t just wait for dividends and do nothing else, that’s too much, and everyone must work hard together.

As for not traveling this holiday, Gong Ruini said to ask Zhao Xuran, it’s because of him that the whole group didn’t have a holiday.
