Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 951 - 953: Not Enough Time for the Project
Soaking in the hot spring, Cai Meina couldn’t help but sigh.
"Ni Zi, in the future, our hot spring house should be like this."
This is a must; otherwise, it’s not interesting. Gong Ruini thought that this time it’s really nice for the parents to come along.
Originally, Cai Meina had various dissatisfactions with the hot spring villa they designed and kept voicing her opinions.
But Gong Ruini didn’t want to talk anymore, she was almost saying that Cai Meina’s ideas were outdated, yet she had to tolerate them unhappily.
If she had known earlier that they’d be able to correct their ideas so quickly, actually coming to holiday during New Year’s Day would be better.
However, Gong Ruini just thought about it, Cai Meina and the others would definitely disagree, not only might they have business matters to attend to, but also because they don’t have holidays for New Year’s Day.
Actually, Gong Ruini could take a leave, but everyone considers this end-of-term exam too important, and Gong Ruini still has to tutor those kids, so she can only think about it.
"Yes, soaking in the hot spring and eating fruits is quite nice, and it’s good for the skin." Zhan Jing, being a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, with Gong Ruini’s guidance, also dabbles in making masks and skincare products.
Of course, because Zhan Jing devotes herself wholeheartedly to traditional Chinese medicine, she doesn’t invest much in skincare, only making products suitable for the family’s use and then stopping.
Even so, the formula Zhan Jing created and the skincare products Ban Xia and the others made are very popular, even without any approval numbers, they are great gifts.
Every time during the Spring Festival, Cai Ming would send some skincare products to clients, and they were very well-received.
Gong Ruini has thought about this, but Zhan Jing dispelled the idea because she researches items suitable for handmade production, and the current quantity is already enough for everyone to mess with.
If they were to scale up, Zhan Jing worries that the results wouldn’t be as good, which is unacceptable to her, given her high standards.
"Alright, don’t look at me. Once the Shiyu Hall brand is established, I’ll focus on this." Zhan Jing was really annoyed by them.
"I also want to make money, but I can’t forget my primary job." Money isn’t what Zhan Jing lacks; she just wants to fulfill her father’s unfulfilled wish.
Wan Qiweng and the others know the significance of Shiyu Hall to Zhan Jing, especially Hua Miaozhu and Zhuge Zhi are watching the outcome, even Gong Ruini who jokes with the elders dare not ask Zhan Jing to prioritize this matter.
"Sister Zhan, you know it well, but it’s not urgent. Let’s first promote Auntie’s work." Wan Qiweng isn’t in a hurry now.
She initially thought about whether she could do some business, which led her to keep an eye on Zhan Jing, but now she has a new goal, so she must handle what’s at hand first.
"Then we also need to find sales channels." Growing up with the factory, Wan Qiweng is quite familiar with many things; she’s articulate.
Gong Ruini soaked in the hot spring, feeling a bit dizzy, really wanting to return to bed for a warm sleep.
Gong Jiaxin listened quietly to their conversation, although what they said was a bit scattered, completely a ’wherever the conversation goes’ style, she did learn a lot.
Not to mention Gong Jiaxin, even Miao Cuihua was stunned. The amount of information was overwhelming, completely outdoing chats about kids, husbands, family troubles, and worries about poor factory benefits, few jobs, and high prices.
Following them to learn many good things, Miao Cuihua couldn’t help but consider what her husband mentioned before, about developing in Beijing.
This way, their career could advance further and they can be with their children.
Gong Ruini yawned, slowly walking out of the hot spring pool, preparing to return to the room to sleep. Upon leaving the warm spring, she felt a chill, her warm body experiencing a stark contrast.
She tightly held onto her clothes and hurried back to the room.
Gong Ruzhi kept an eye on the movement in the neighboring women’s pool, seeing Gong Ruini getting up, he signaled at Zhao Guangran and the others causing a ruckus in the pool.
Zhao Xuran was the first to get up, went over to rinse with warm water, then dried himself and left.
Zhao Guangran looked at his elder brother, who moved quickly without saying a word, pouting, "See, I told you, he’s the worst. No reaction, but his actions are quick."
One by one, everyone hurriedly followed Zhao Xuran’s lead, not wanting to hear Zhao Guangran’s complaints.
The problem is, if he continues complaining about the eldest, would there be consequences?
Though the eldest hasn’t reacted yet, once he has time, there’s no telling how Zhao Guangran might be disciplined, so these sidekicks prefer not to provoke and just watch quietly.
Moreover, they have serious matters to attend to; what if the eldest has discussed enough with Ni Zi (Sister Ni), they can hear the most authentic answers? 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Furthermore, the elder brother hasn’t commented, but seeing Gong Ruzhi watching Ni Zi without raising objections shows his stance; it’s just that Zhao Guangran the fool hasn’t realized.
The lively pool suddenly went quiet, making those drinking in the hot spring feel uneasy, "Why did everyone leave?"
"Leaving isn’t bad, otherwise it’s too noisy."
"They’re probably going to find Ni Zi? Honestly, I think Ni Zi must be making a move." Zhao Gang said slurredly after drinking.
"Certainly, considering making money." If Zhao Gang and the others didn’t rush for a share, Cai Ming might still help cover it a bit; no point in covering up now.
"Can’t you consider Ni Zi might want to do something good?" Gong Tao, even though he thinks alike, will stand by his daughter no matter what when she’s the topic.
"Definitely Ni Zi would do good,"
"We didn’t say she’d do otherwise." The three men stopped debating, since no conclusion was forthcoming, enjoying drinks seemed better.
They were on vacation, after all, they couldn’t waste time discussing business matters.
"Xuran chose a good location." In front of Zhao Xuran, Zhao Gang and the others definitely won’t admit it was a bad choice.
"I’m really looking forward to when our Hot Spring Villa will be completed." Although this place is nice, it’s far from Beijing, and living here costs money, hence developing their own place.
Not only can they soak whenever they want, but they can also entertain guests, save money, and earn money.
The more Zhao Gang thought about it, the happier he became, until, "Oh, the villa, we’re not included." Regret slowly crept in.
He wanted to grab the kids and lecture them, "Never seen kids who don’t bring their parents into money-making."
"Humph, they say kids are debt collectors; I didn’t believe it, but now it seems right, none of them consider their parents’ struggles." Though Zhao Gang was upset, it was decided, "Humph, lucky we have some land at the foot of the mountain, otherwise..." a blessing amidst misfortune.
"Humph, if there are guests, don’t let them earn money." Zhao Gang said furiously.
Gong Tao and Cai Ming exchanged glances, knowing that despite Zhao Gang’s anger, a few kind words from Zhao Xuran or the others would quickly extinguish his fury.
