Chapter 971 - 973: Withdrawal
Chapter 971: Chapter 973: Withdrawal Zhao Guangran felt helpless seeing his brother casually working in Gong Ruini’s study, discussing matters in front of Ni Zi.
"Brother, I never expected things to turn out this way." Zhao Guangran was actually stunned; he didn’t know how to handle the situation.
Zhao Guangran was waiting for his brother to respond, hoping he’d say how to deal with it, and then he would go to Cao Na to discuss the approach.
Seeing Zhao Guangran eagerly looking at him, Zhao Xuran was infuriated, "You should know what to do."
"Do I need to teach you?" Zhao Xuran really just wanted to know Zhao Guangran’s attitude.
But this time, looking at his attitude towards his brother, Zhao Xuran was really not satisfied.
"Cao Na’s parents don’t know about this, do they?" If Cao Na’s parents knew, they definitely wouldn’t agree to her proposing this.
"That, that... I don’t know." Zhao Guangran wanted to say he didn’t know, but his brother’s gaze was terrifying.
Zhao Guangran truly regretted it; he shouldn’t have agreed when Cao Na begged him, acting impulsively.
"Brother, this shouldn’t be a big deal, you know Nana’s brother-in-law over there, he has no backing."
"If he goes up, it’s beneficial for us too." Zhao Guangran knew what he did was quite shady.
But there was truly no way around it, "The Wang Family is great, but if her brother-in-law rises, it actually makes it easier for us to handle things in Yangcheng."
Yes, Cao Na’s brother-in-law can be promoted this time, but this naive guy didn’t think it through.
Gong Ruini knew people in love become stupid, but why does it seem only Zhao Guangran is dumb?
"You say he gets promoted, then he won’t want to get promoted anymore?" Gong Ruini didn’t know if it was Cao Na or her sister saying this, but they were surely misleading Zhao Guangran.
"If he always wants to stay in Yangcheng, he won’t be able to avoid the Wang Family; this time they can block him, won’t they do it later?"
"Besides, isn’t he quite capable?" Gong Ruini remembered Cao Na mentioning her brother-in-law as very capable, a man who’s been on the battlefield.
Gong Ruini hadn’t met him, but the person could come off the battlefield and get promoted, indicating he was capable.
The problem is why would such a capable person take this path; it’s really odd.
"Is it Cao Li’s own idea?" Maybe, in the past, Cao Li was simple and honest, treating them well, remembering Zhuge Zhi and Zhan Jing’s kindness helping her recover.
But after mixing in that big dyeing vat for so many years, hasn’t she changed at all?
Gong Ruini didn’t know how to think about this matter, feeling really annoyed.
"Moreover, isn’t he Old Sir Wang’s grandson? Even if the Wang Family can’t help him, there’s no reason his uncle could block his normal promotion."
No matter if it’s Cao Li or her husband, Gong Ruini spoke a bit harshly about this.
Zhao Guangran wasn’t stupid; he hadn’t considered much before, but after Gong Ruini’s reprimanding words, he was stunned.
Feeling helpless, he looked to Zhao Xuran, hoping he could offer some comfort.
"You promised Cao Na, so we bear the loss from the concessions." Zhao Xuran knew without showing some stance, the Wan Family might not be happy.
More importantly, starting this might make the Wang Family taste blood, digging deeper in all sorts of ways.
"Ah, no way." Though Zhao Guangran hadn’t handled it, knowing there was much profit here.
As for the income given to the Wang Family, he knew; if Zhao Guangran didn’t feel the pain, it’s impossible, but he hadn’t thought the whole family would bear it.
Zhao Guangran moved his mouth, wanting to speak, but, with Gong Ruini present, he stayed silent.
Zhao Guangran stayed silent, but Gong Ruini knew what he’d say; wasn’t it just that they felt they were being a bit excessive?
At this moment, whatever Gong Ruini might say, Zhao Guangran perhaps wouldn’t listen, better to stay quiet and await further words.
Zhao Xuran pinched his nose, "It’s Mom and Dad’s decision; this isn’t over. They think us working with Wang Yuzhe and not his side is dissatisfying."
"So Dad has already arranged for Wang Yuzhe and his team to discuss this." Since the topic was already brought up, it made sense to continue discussing it through.
Ah, letting Wang Yuzhe and his team come over, it’s not to talk about this to him, is it? The matter’s really serious; Zhao Guangran turned pale, "Brother..."
"This matter won’t be discussed with Wang Yuzhe, but Dad has already decided; initially agreed was to cooperate with them, now it’s like working with both sides, giving too much to the Wang Family, so they’re planning to withdraw."
Ah, no way, this is terrifying, "Brother, how can we withdraw."
"That’s very profitable." Zhao Guangran was so agitated he yelled at Zhao Xuran.
"If it wasn’t profitable, why would so many people from the Wang Family get excited?" Zhao Xuran’s eyes coldly looked at Zhao Guangran, "You being with Cao Na, I don’t oppose, but you must consider the family’s interests."
"Think further: if you marry Cao Na, she must have ambition, how much help can the Cao Family offer?"
"How much boost will the family give her? Know that it’s not necessary to help Cao Na; we have other choices."
"She hasn’t entered the family yet and already calculating, what about after marriage?" Zhao Xuran originally didn’t want to say this but seeing Zhao Guangran so agitated.
Zhao Xuran really didn’t want to hold back; if not spoken now, the younger brother might truly think it’s the Gong Family or Wan Family being unfair to him.
Extracting something from the bottom, tossing it to Zhao Guangran, "Take a good look and share your thoughts."
Thoughts? Can something so slim record anything? Zhao Guangran didn’t understand, neither did Gong Ruini know what’s written.
Full of curiosity, Gong Ruini really wanted to peek, but before she could act, she was halted by Zhao Xuran’s glare.
Fine, not looking then, truly stingy; though curious, Gong Ruini knew the men are not so easy to mess with, sigh, better to stay put.
"Brother, is it true?" Zhao Guangran’s expression was bewildered, looking at Zhao Xuran incredulously.
Is it true, "Do you think we need to fake anything?"
"Originally it didn’t matter, but now thinking about it, it can’t be ignored."
"Otherwise Dad wouldn’t talk about withdrawing; you look at each figure, they are increasing more and more." Zhao Xuran knew these were quite a blow to Zhao Guangran,
but there’s no choice; if not said, Zhao Guangran would never know, and the other side would never reveal it.
"Brother, I understand now." Zhao Guangran, like a defeated rooster, hung his head down.
Figures, increasing, probably isn’t Yangcheng over there; perhaps Cao Na, unlike certain individuals in the Wang Family, had already started earlier.
Gong Ruini was stunned; how long has it been, not even two years, if it were longer, wouldn’t it be worse?
Not sure if it’s an illusion, Gong Ruini suddenly felt Zhao Guangran looked older, she just wanted to go over and comfort him a bit.
