Reborn since 2005

Chapter 770 Adopted Child

The first stop of their group tour this time is the United States.

The person who picked them up at the airport was Gu Ru. She drove a seven-seater commercial vehicle, which was just enough for them to sit.

Sitting in the passenger seat was Bai Xiaoling. It was her first time in the United States and she was a little excited. After the car started, she started taking pictures with her cell phone.

The United States is the most powerful country on the planet and the only superpower.

For her, it is a very exciting thing to be able to travel here.

While taking pictures, I was already thinking about how to post those photos on QQ space and how to write the copy.

Many of her QQ friends are high school classmates, and some are friends from the same village. Those people especially like to play QQ space, and she also likes to share her current life with them.

I have some business friends, but they basically don’t use QQ space much, so there is no need to worry that they will be embarrassed when seeing these contents.

——Even if she saw it, it’s not a big problem. After all, she is just a girl in her early twenties. It’s understandable that she has some childish thoughts.

The rest of the people didn't share her idea.

After sitting on the plane for such a long time, everyone was very tired. After getting on the car, no one talked much. They just sat back and closed their eyes to rest.

Bai Xiaoling, the youngest, was the most excited. She didn't even look tired and was taking pictures with her iPhone.

From time to time, he would chat with Gu Ru, asking her where this place was, where that place was, and where everyone was going.

Gu Ru also answered her questions one by one with a smile.

Last year she bought a large piece of land in another state in the United States. Her father is running the business, mainly growing crops, which are then exported domestically.

For this purpose, a company was specially registered and a Chinese American was appointed as the general manager.

The farm also hired some people to help run it. Gu Ru's father was one of the supervisors, but he had a bit of a farming addiction and sometimes he would go to the fields to plant crops himself. He didn't use any machinery, but did it by hand, and he also used farmyard manure.

I didn't make much money, but I did satisfy my passion for farming.

Her family ran a factory, which they sold a few years ago, leaving them with some savings. This time, she invested most of her parents' money in purchasing the farm.

Gu Ru also invested tens of millions in this.

Now she doesn’t have much balance in her account and she almost lives on the rent of the house in China.

——Now the dividends the company gives her from the ringback tone business are getting smaller and smaller, and are not even as much as the rent.

The Starlight Group is developing quite well, but at this stage Yan Xin has no plans to distribute dividends to shareholders. Instead, she wants to continue investing the profits in development. She has no other source of income.

However, her monthly rental income, after offsetting the mortgage, is more than 100,000 RMB, plus the ringtone dividends, converted into US dollars, it is also 20,000 to 30,000 US dollars a month.

We couldn't say we lived a luxurious life, but we had enough money to get by.

She invested so much money to set up an agricultural company and bought a farm. In addition to satisfying her father's wish to farm, it also had another purpose, which was to obtain investment immigration qualifications for her parents, allowing her parents to obtain citizenship here more quickly.

As for herself, she did not apply for American citizenship.

It’s not that she didn’t have such an idea, but Yan Xin strongly advised her not to do so.

Just get a green card, immigration is not necessary.

One reason for this is that Yan Xin himself doesn’t like this country very much, and he also knows that this country doesn’t like Chinese people very much.

The problem is not serious now, but it will become more serious in the future.

Another reason is that Gu Ru is a star. If she wants to return to the public eye in the future, the issue of nationality will be a big problem.

If the public knew that she had become an American, she would lose a lot of favor and support.

Nationality is not a big problem now, but in a few years, it will become a big problem.

The more intense the competition between the two major powers, the more prominent this issue becomes.

For the sake of Gu Ru's future, she cannot change her nationality.

Although Gu Ru didn't quite understand, she also believed that Yan Xin would not make such suggestions without reason, so she still listened to his advice.

——She is a person who is involved in the art circle. In that circle, people do not have much patriotism. Some even think that practitioners who have patriotism are funny. They are either putting on a show or are idiots. After so many years in that circle, her thoughts have been assimilated. She is more yearning for the West, so after she quit the entertainment industry, her first choice was to come to the United States.

If Yan Xin had not advised her to do so, she would have obtained American citizenship long ago.

A star who performed at the closing ceremony of the Olympics and has a net worth of billions, the US Immigration Service welcomes such people.

The current situation is that her parents have obtained U.S. citizenship, and her daughter has also obtained U.S. citizenship. She alone still has Chinese citizenship.

The farm has sold some of the crops it grew this year and earned some cash.

After they had sufficient funds, in addition to purchasing some advanced agricultural machinery, they built a manor and found a place to build some houses there to house the workers they hired and themselves.

Her father stayed there for a long time, planting flowers, grass, crops, fruits and trees, and was very busy.

Her mother would come over sometimes.

Sometimes she would help her take care of the children at the estate she had just purchased.

Now her mother is on that farm with her father, and she didn't take the child over, so she leaves the child with her.

She has a nanny here, so she doesn't really need her mother's help.

This time, they were taken to the manor that she had bought in the beginning.

Although the area is not large, she prefers living here.

Because the houses here are more beautiful.

As for the land area, she doesn't have much interest in farming now, nor does she have such a deep affection for the land. She thinks the area is enough to give her a private and relatively free space.

She kept the manor like a garden. It didn't produce much, but it was pleasing to the eye.

Letting her mother go to her father's place was not because she was afraid that her father would be lonely, because her father was now immersed in the joy of farming. He felt that the door to a new world had been opened and he did not feel lonely at all.

The main reason is that I feel her mother is a bit of an eyesore here.

——Because the life ahead will be a bit eye-irritating.

The nanny is not that important. If she saw it, she saw it. If she discovered it, she discovered it. What else can she say?
I picked them up at the airport and drove back, which took more than an hour to get to her manor.

Before getting off the car, Bai Xiaoling was shocked:
"Wow, what a beautiful place! What a beautiful house! Sister Ru, you are so lucky!"

Gu Ru smiled and said, "If you want, you can do that. Apart from other things, there is enough land here. As long as you have money, you can build a beautiful manor." Bai Xiaoling really imagined it, and then shook her head depressedly: "No, my work focus is in the East, in the island countries and South Korea. It's too expensive to build a manor like this there. I don't have that much money."

Gu Ru glanced at Yan Xin in the back seat and said with a smile:

"With such a rich brother, are you still worried about not having enough money to enjoy life? Besides, you can also apply with your sister-in-law to develop here. There is also a huge market here, so it is not impossible to develop business."

Then he asked Feng Xi:
"Xiao Xi, don't you think so?"

Feng Xi nodded and said with a smile: "Our company does have the idea of ​​developing in this direction. As long as Xiaoling is willing, we can arrange for her to come here to expand our territory."

Bai Xiaoling still shook her head: "Forget about coming here. My ability is too limited. I just managed to finish the things over there with great difficulty. I really don't have the ability to open a new map again."

Now she is not so short of money. She cannot compare with Yan Xin’s other women, but she is much better than most people.

Now she is in charge of the Jinxi Group's business in the island country and the South Korean country, including skin care products, facial masks, clothing and some miscellaneous gadgets. The output value involved is tens of billions, and the group offers her an annual salary of several million RMB.

Including performance bonuses, the annual income exceeds 10 million.

She was already quite satisfied.

I don’t really want to develop somewhere new.

How difficult that was, she had been through it before and didn't want to go through it again.

She also knows that her abilities are limited. The reason why she can do such a good job in the area she is responsible for is not due to her personal abilities, but to an excellent team and accurate market predictions.

As for her personal abilities, she feels that her strongest point is her loyalty to the two major shareholders.

Because she is a family member and the most trustworthy person of the two major shareholders, she is given such power.

Her main role is supervision.

Apart from this, there is no ability that matches her current status.

As long as she can gain the trust of the two major shareholders, her position can be replaced by many people in the company.

If she came to the United States to develop, it would be very easy to find someone more capable than her to be the leader.

If we let her take charge, it might delay development plans.

She still has this self-awareness.

Moreover, there is a more important point - the island country is very close to China. If she wants to go home and be with Yan Xin, she can do it easily.

It's different here.

It’s so tiring to fly, and often you have to transfer, which is so exhausting.

Gu Ru just said it casually, and when she saw that she refused, she just smiled and said nothing more.

The car drove into the manor and stopped in front of the garage. After they all got out of the car, it backed into the garage and then took them to the main villa where she lived.

At the door of the villa, a nanny was standing there with a little girl who was over three years old.

The nanny is also a Chinese. She immigrated here through marriage more than ten years ago and married an American. However, they divorced within a few years of coming here. She didn’t want to go back to her home country and be laughed at, so she stayed here.

I couldn’t find a good job, so I basically looked for work in the Chinese community, either as a nanny or washing dishes.

At the beginning of this year, the nanny that Gu Ru originally hired quit her job and was replaced by her.

Now, the nanny job here with Gu Ru is the best paying job she can find.

I have received professional training and have some business capabilities.

When he saw Gu Ru coming with a group of people, he smiled professionally and greeted them.

The little girl ran towards Gu Ru, shouting, "Mom, Mom!"

Although this is the United States, she has not received any English education and speaks Mandarin at home.

When he called out "Mom", the women around Yan Xin all looked at him.

Yan Xin felt uncomfortable and blamed Gu Ru a little bit - why did she let this child appear here? Wouldn't it be better to let her go with her grandmother? Just like the last time he and Feng Xi came here.

He didn't know how to explain it, so he could only stand there with a dry smile.

Bai Xiaoling spoke first: "Sister Ru, how come you suddenly have such a big daughter?"

Gu Ru picked up her daughter, turned sideways, and explained to everyone with a smile:
"This, this is the daughter I adopted last year. I named her Gu Xin. She is already over three years old."

As soon as she said "adoption", everyone suddenly understood and said "Oh".

He didn't know whether he really believed it or not, but Yan Xin still felt that there were a few gazes lingering on his face.

The nanny also heard this and thought to herself:

"It turns out that Xiao Xin is not their biological child, but an adopted child. But they are really nice to the child, just like her own child."

Inexplicably, I envied this child: "How great would it be if I could meet such a kind adoptive mother?"

Even if you are not reborn into a good family, being adopted by a wealthy family is also a very lucky thing.

Bai Xiaoling asked curiously, "Sister Ru, why did you think of adopting a daughter? If you want a child, wouldn't it be better to give birth to one yourself?"

Gu Ru's eyes stayed on Yan Xin for a moment, then she looked away immediately and said with a smile:

"I'm already in my thirties, and having a child is too risky, so after much thought, I think it's better to adopt one."

After finishing speaking, he paused for a moment and then said with a smile:

"Besides, I'm a single woman, who can I have a baby with?"

When saying this, he couldn't help but let his eyes linger on Yan Xin again.

Yan Xin blushed and laughed dryly:
"If you have such an idea, tell me and I can help you."

Gu Ru smiled and said, "Okay, let's have a baby together if we have a chance."

Ai Lili was holding Feng Xi's child, and when she heard Gu Ru say that, she felt quite touched.

She is not young anymore and has some age anxiety.

Gu Ru is only a few years older than her, but she is afraid of the risks of having a child. How much better can she be?
I thought to myself: "Should I have a child while I'm still young?"

His eyes also fell on Yan Xin.
