Chapter 189 Full of Energy
Gu Yimin was meticulous and conscientious. She had a small notebook where she wrote down important or easily forgotten things. Ye Chi's phone number was on it.
She flipped open the notebook and found Ye Chi's phone number. She picked up the phone and was about to dial when she saw Gu Siqing leaning against the door frame, smiling at her. Gu Yimin glared at her and said, "Go do what you need to do."
Gu Siqing chuckled, "Call Chief Ye? I'll just listen and I promise not to say anything."
Gu Yimin was too embarrassed to let her listen, so he took out fifty cents from his pocket and said, "Go buy something to eat."
Gu Siqing: "Sister, have you forgotten that our family owns a supermarket?"
That being said, she wasn't slow to accept the money. She was a wealthy woman with tens of thousands in savings, but she only had six yuan at her disposal. Fifty cents was still a lot for her right now.
Gu Yimin saw her put the money into her pocket and asked, "Can you walk as far as you want now?"
"Okay, I'll disappear right now." Gu Siqing said as she ran away. Gu Yimin was amused by her quirky appearance. After the call was connected, her voice was full of laughter when she spoke to Ye Chi.
"Is there anything happy?" Ye Chi asked.
Gu Yimin smiled and said, "Xiao Si insisted on listening to my phone call, but I sent him away with fifty cents."
Ye Chi thought of the quirky appearance of the Gu family's little fourth daughter and couldn't help but curl his lips, "I heard that her book made a lot of money."
"Yes, but all her money is kept by my parents. She only has six dollars in her hand now." Gu Yimin said with a smile.
Ye Chi laughed after hearing this, and then he asked: "How is the supermarket opening?"
"It was pretty good. The opening event lasted for seven days and there were a lot of people every day. I thought there would be fewer people after the event, but I didn't expect there would still be so many people. The supermarket is located in East City, and many people come from West City and South City to buy things." Gu Yimin said.
Her voice was neither hurried nor slow, and she spoke softly. Ye Chi felt as if his heart was soaked in spring water, so soft that he could not help it.
"It looks like we'll be able to open a branch soon," he said.
"Well, my dad and Erhui are discussing it." When she said this, her voice was still soft and gentle, without any other emotion.
Ye Chi couldn't help but smile even more on the other end of the line. He liked her personality. She understood her strengths and weaknesses, knew what she wanted, and worked hard for it. Gu Jianguo and Gu Erhui were clearly the leaders of the Gu family's business. Knowing she wasn't good at business, she consciously played a supporting role.
That's good.
"I was a bit busy recently, luckily I saw your letter after I was done with my work." Ye Chi said.
"My dad really likes your calligraphy and paintings. He's tidying up the study at home, and he wants to hang the calligraphy and paintings there." Gu Yimin couldn't help but laugh twice when she said this. "My dad said he's a rough guy, and it's embarrassing to have a study."
Ye Chi also laughed, "Uncle is a man of temperament."
The two chatted for about twenty minutes until Ye Chi's orderly called him to a meeting, and they ended the call. After hanging up, Gu Yimin stared at the phone in a daze. She hadn't expected that they had chatted for so long without realizing it, and without saying anything!
In the barracks, the orderly followed Ye Chi and saw that he had a smile on his face. He couldn't help but ask, "Instructor, do you have any good news?"
Ye Chi answered in a good mood: "Yes, good things are coming soon."
Zhang Zijun had been in Lizhou for a week. After finishing the opening ceremony of Gujia Supermarket, he had to go back. He had to go back to work. Gujia's business was growing bigger and bigger, and he couldn't fall behind.
The day before he left, he went to the store and saw Gu Erhui knitting a sweater. It was just the beginning, and he couldn't tell who it was for. He leaned over and asked, "Who is this sweater for?"
Gu Erhui wanted to tease him, so she asked, "Who do you think I'll knit for?"
Zhang Zijun looked carefully at the sweater he had just knitted and said confidently, "It must be for me."
But then Gu Erhui said, "You guessed wrong. This is not knitted for you."
Zhang Zijun: “”
He reached out and picked up the gray ball of wool and asked, "Is this for Uncle Gu? It doesn't look like it! It's a little small."
Gu Erhui looked at the sweater she had just knitted. The stitches were all huddled together, and it really looked quite small. She said, "Yes, I knitted it for Zhengping."
"Who?" Zhang Zijun asked, his voice a little loud. If it was knitted for Gu Jianguo, he could accept it. But why knit it for that evil-hearted brat?
Gu Erhui pretended not to hear the jealousy in his tone, suppressed a smile and said, "It's getting cold, I'll knit him a sweater and trousers."
Zhang Zijun: I have a grudge against that black-hearted kid.
"I don't have a sweater or pants either."
His voice was very sour, but Gu Erhui pretended not to hear it. She looked up at him and said, "You don't have any either? What should I do then?"
Zhang Zijun snorted childishly, looking both proud and aggrieved. Gu Erhui couldn't hold back her laughter any longer. Only then did Zhang Zijun realize he had been fooled, but he was actually very happy.
"This is knitted for me, right?" he asked happily.
Gu Erhui stopped teasing him and nodded, "I knitted it for you. Do you like this color?"
"I like it." Zhang Zijun was kneading the ball of yarn. Gu Erhui saw it and snatched the yarn from his hand, "Don't mess it up."
Zhang Zijun chuckled, sat next to her and said, "Ah, what should I do if I don't want to leave?"
"No, you have just started, you can't give up halfway." Gu Erhui said.
This guy is used to doing things casually. If she said that she couldn't bear to leave him, he would probably really give up his current business and stay in Lizhou forever.
"We both have a long way to go," Gu Erhui added. "Although we don't lack food and drink now, if we want to live a better life, we have to work hard and strive. Once your company is established and stable, you'll have a stable income. Won't that give you more freedom?"
"I know, I was just saying that." Zhang Zijun said.
He knew that if Erhui had just said she didn't want him to leave, he definitely wouldn't have left. He felt a little ashamed now. He was actually a few years older than Erhui, but he didn't do things as thoughtfully as Erhui.
"Well, I'll go to Kyoto to see you when I'm free." Gu Erhui turned her head and looked at him with a smile. That smile was like a beam of light that melted his heart.
Zhang Zijun reached out and held Gu Erhui's hand, saying seriously, "Erhui, I will work hard so that we can live a better life in the future."
"Okay, let's work together." Gu Erhui said.
When Zhang Zijun left Lizhou this time, he felt full of energy and could work without sleep.
