Gu Ziling paused, wondering how she should answer the question about being from a "small family" (a term used to describe someone who is not wealthy). And, was she really that rich?
After all, I am not poor, but if we're talking about being very rich, there are plenty of richer people in the world.
"Well, it's alright, enough for you to buy toys and treats."
Tuanzi blinked in confusion: "But I heard that remote-controlled airplanes are super expensive, and you have to spend a lot of money to buy one."
Gu Ziling wanted to laugh: "Who told you it would cost a lot of money?"
"Yes, that's what the older boys in the courtyard said."
"Let's assume that Second Uncle is rich for now."
Pfft, what a remark...
Tuanzi immediately looked up at the person and asked, "Really? How rich are you? Can you buy lots and lots of remote-controlled airplanes?"
"Yes, you can, if you want."
Regardless of where Minister Gu's salary is, although it is higher than that of ordinary people, it is not by much. His monthly salary is probably only enough to buy one meal.
But Minister Gu owns shares in several companies, and he receives dividends on time every year. No one dares to ask Minister Gu for money; they even have to politely round up the fractional amount to a whole number.
Besides company shares, there are also some benefits from elders in the family, such as storefronts and houses. Aren't they all money if they are rented out?
Moreover, in Kyoto, the rent for these shops and houses is not cheap.
This is why the Gu family doesn't take shortcuts; otherwise, they would have much more wealth and influence. In contrast, in nouveau riche families like the Su family, everyone's clothes must be Chanel, Givenchy, or Versace ordered from overseas, and their bags must be LV or GG. From the patriarch to the younger generation, almost every household lives in a large villa and has a car at their doorstep.
Minister Gu's meager background is really no match for the nouveau riche Su family.
But the Su family wouldn't dare to provoke the Gu family even if they had a hundred and twenty times the courage. Money has never meant anything; in the face of absolute power, money is just paper.
If the higher-ups want you to go down, you have to go down immediately. Dare to disobey? Believe me, they'll all be arrested and locked up for ten or twenty years before being released!
Quanzi had no idea that his second uncle had thought so much, but he understood that his second uncle was not poor and was actually quite wealthy.
The uncle and nephew got along very well. Tuanzi chattered incessantly, while Minister Gu's face showed a rare gentleness and patience.
When they passed by the administration building, both the uncle and nephew saw the old man and his group.
At this moment, the old man was seeing off his old comrade-in-arms, with Commander Gu following behind him.
Gu Ziling was one of them before, but fortunately the little guy suddenly appeared and helped his second uncle out of the predicament.
As they passed by, Commander Gu called them back.
"Wait a moment."
"Uncle, is something the matter?"
Tuanzi looked at Commander Gu with a question mark on her face.
Gu Beiwang glanced at the old man talking to someone else out of the corner of his eye, then lowered his voice and said to Gu Ziling, "You can go and call Xiao Dan and his wife now. The hospital arrangements are all set."
Gu Ziling knew that the old man had health problems, which is why she rushed over.
After hearing Gu Beiwang's words, he nodded: "Okay, I'll go right away, but... should we inform Xiaojin?" After all, he is the old man's own grandson.
Gu Beiwang remained silent for a while before nodding: "Call them."
"Okay, I'm going now. Little one, come with your uncle."
"Oh, here it comes."
