Chapter 1562

Cao Na hooked her arm around Gong Ruini’s, admiring Gong Ruini’s ability to enjoy shopping here just as much as she did elsewhere.

"I thought you really wouldn’t shop at domestic malls."

"I went to Hong Kong, and then coming back to see the domestic malls, it’s really just..." Even though they were strolling through one of the top malls in Beijing, Cao Na felt many things were hard to admire.

They say New York is better and more prosperous than Hong Kong, isn’t Gong Ruini supposed to have even higher standards?

She only said this in front of Cao Na; otherwise, she would never be so honest with someone else. They would think Gong Ruini was just showing off.

"To be honest, I haven’t shopped much. You know, I got pregnant shortly after I arrived, juggling classes and pregnancy, it was overwhelming." Even with all the preparation and confidence in her English speaking and listening skills, she almost couldn’t keep up at the beginning.

"By the time I got used to it, the child’s condition wasn’t good, so there was no time to shop, and after having the child, even if I shopped, it was for children’s items."

Thinking about it, Gong Ruini did feel a bit pitiful. Clearly going to New York, in many people’s eyes, she should have been shopping non-stop, buying non-stop, but in reality, she was truly misunderstood.

"When I get back to New York, I’m going to shop till I drop." Gong Ruini declared vigorously, especially since she wasn’t alone; she had company.

"I’m so envious." Cao Na was genuinely full of envy, "Oh, by the way, I bought another courtyard house this time. What do you think about me renovating it and turning it into a club?"

Cao Na remembered there was something serious she hadn’t discussed with Gong Ruini yet.

A club? Ever since Zhao Xuran opened a club, the business was booming, it could be called a cash cow. Many people followed the trend, but not many could persist.

It’s not just about investing in hardware, you also need software, which many people overlook.

"What made you think of this?" Gong Ruini was very curious. Clubs are profitable, but when they lose, they can make you cry.

"I just wanted to create a place where female friends can chat without constraints. You know that a lot of clubs in Beijing are male-dominated now."

"Not that it’s bad, but sometimes women need a more private space."

"Especially since you mentioned before about doing shaping or beauty services, I wanted to get into that field." Cao Na was a little embarrassed because this meant competing with Gong Ruini for business.

So, wanting to do this, Gong Ruini wasn’t that petty. Even though they were in the same industry, they had different focuses.

After all, their main product was developed by Zhan Jing and the twins, and its effect was absolutely fantastic; otherwise, people wouldn’t be willing to join at such a high price.

"High-end?" Gong Ruini asked curiously.

"Mid-to-high-end, using foreign products. I tried them in Hong Kong last time, and they were effective. I’m thinking of getting an agency."

"You know the country is open for reform, but many people are still hesitant to enter. I’m thinking of taking this opportunity to make more money from women." As it turns out, while it’s not easy to make money from women, it’s at least not difficult.

No matter how much money is spent for beauty, it doesn’t matter.

"I think it’s feasible. A lot of people trust foreign products, and if the product quality is really good, the price shouldn’t be low." After all, for the wealthy, expensive things are certainly good.

If you set a low price, they won’t believe in it. As long as the items are good, money is not an issue.

Cao Na had already done market analysis, and asking for Gong Ruini’s opinion was just for confirmation, "The investment this time is quite large, and I don’t have much money on hand."

"Are you asking me to invest?" Regardless of whether or not Cao Na had money, at least Gong Ruini understood she hoped she would invest.

Gong Ruini thought for a moment; she felt the plan was good, "Do you have an analysis report?"

Cao Na was accustomed to making such reports, not only to attract investors but also to give herself a final opportunity to decide whether to invest.

"Yes, next time I visit your home to see Pingping and An An, I’ll show you."

"By the way, are you planning to hold a banquet?" Remembering the rumors outside, Cao Na asked with concern.

Hold a banquet? Gong Ruini shook her head, "No plans."

Holding a banquet was to announce the child’s birth, and Gong Ruini didn’t think it was necessary to announce her child’s birth to the world.

Besides, if things aren’t thoroughly resolved, hosting a banquet might lead to the child’s photos being spread around. Even though it’s not the age of smartphones where a click can take photos and send them out, Gong Ruini really didn’t want to take that risk.

"No, we’re only back for a few days, mainly to let the grandparents see them, then leave after New Year’s." Gong Ruini was not lying; they really needed to rush back for classes.

Cao Na breathed a sigh of relief, cautiously looking around, "No matter how those people cause a scene, just ignore them."

"Things are chaotic out there now." Cao Na couldn’t say much, especially since she didn’t know specific details,

she just knew recently there had been a lot of scheming, "Didn’t your husband tell you anything?"

Gong Ruini nodded, "I’m aware of it, which is also why I’m worried coming back this time."

"But grandmother hasn’t seen Pingping and An An yet."

"By the way, we might go to Europe during the summer vacation, are you going?" Gong Ruini recalled they definitely wouldn’t return home in the summer; they wanted to go out and broaden their horizons.

Especially because things might get more disorderly then, what if someone gets desperate?

Although leaving the children at home isn’t particularly unsafe, instead of spending time dealing with those people, it’s better to take a trip to Europe.

Going to Europe? "Will you take Pingping and them?"

"How old is Pingping?" Cao Na was surprised, you know adults going to Europe is normal, but what about if the children fall ill?

And An An’s health wasn’t good; what if they felt unwell in Europe?

"No worries, they’re quite fine this time." Gong Ruini had great faith in Space Water.

This time? Wasn’t it just for a flight back home, not a trip? Cao Na realized that Gong Ruini, in fact, didn’t consider her opinions.

Gong Ruini knew this idea would indeed scare many people; adults going out, that’s a normal activity, at most it’s just a matter of getting used to different environments.

But when it comes to babies, this isn’t a joke, especially with An An, but Gong Ruini was confident.

Actually, the main reason was she wanted to take the opportunity while they had time to travel; she didn’t know when next they’d get such a long break.

Cao Na really didn’t understand how such young children could know what traveling meant? All she could say was that wealthy people really don’t care about such small amounts of money.

"By the way, don’t tell anyone about this." Gong Ruini suddenly remembered this had to be kept a secret, and it absolutely couldn’t get out, or she’d be in big trouble.

Others’ advice, Gong Ruini could ignore, but Gong Tao and others would absolutely not agree to let Pingping and An An travel abroad at such a young age; for them, it was an extremely risky thing to do.
