Gu Wei, who was busy collecting money, was unaware of the situation outside the store.
Gu Jianguo, who was standing at the door, did see it.
He knew Chen's mother and knew that the old lady had come to their house before to bring money and gifts.
They chatted for quite a while, so it's impossible not to remember them well.
But she couldn't quite understand why they were staring at Gu Wei with that kind of look.
He watched the old lady walk away, somewhat puzzled.
Then I continued working on the heap.
As time went by, fewer and fewer people bought goods, and everyone was finally able to relax and take a break.
Gu Wei had someone buy soda and put it in the store beforehand, so that everyone could have a bottle to quench their thirst.
Gu Jianguo and Zhao Dajiang were both people who had witnessed the last opening, so they weren't too shocked or surprised. They were all happily drinking soda and chatting.
However, this was the first time the three sales clerks in the store had encountered such a bustling scene; they had been completely overwhelmed before.
They also clearly realized that the better the business, the higher their base salary plus commission would be.
Now, the way people look at Gu Wei is filled with admiration, awe, and caution.
They were afraid of not doing well and losing a good job that was hard to find even with a lantern.
Gu Wei saw through their little scheme and was naturally happy to see it happen.
If everyone works hard and diligently, he wouldn't easily fire them.
At this moment, Li Bin leaned closer to Gu Wei and whispered, "Brother Gu, why don't I stay at the shop tonight? Commuting back and forth takes up too much time. Besides, with so many goods in the shop and only Jin Hongfei here, I'm really worried about leaving him alone."
Gu Wei originally planned to have Jin Hongfei temporarily work as a night watchman at the new shop in the city, while Jin Hongda would go to the old shop.
Now, Li Bin has even offered to look after the store.
He thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll leave you with the hard work these few days after the opening. We'll find suitable people to take turns working shifts later."
"Brother Gu, it's not hard work at all, it's all what I should do..."
Seeing how well the store was doing, Li Bin was genuinely happy.
The fact that the God of Wealth entrusted him with managing this shop is enough to show his trust and high regard for him, so he must put in extra effort and hard work.
Later that evening, Gu Wei invited everyone to a state-run restaurant for dinner.
After the meal, Zhao Dajiang found an opportunity to present a gift again.
"Gu Wei, I wish you great success in your business. Here, take this red envelope and see what you want to buy."
Gu Wei was extremely helpless. "Uncle Zhao, you've already done me a huge favor by coming today. Besides, I already gave you a gift at the last opening. If I give you a gift every time I open a new store, what kind of order is that? Take it back right now!"
Zhao Dajiang said firmly, "No, you must accept it. This is a token of our family's appreciation. Besides, you're opening a shop, so it's only right that we give you a gift once in a while."
"There's no such thing as 'should' or 'shall' if you keep doing this, Uncle Zhao. I'm going to get angry."
Gu Wei didn't want to accept it last time, and there's no way he'll accept it this time.
The two argued about it for a long time.
Later, seeing that Gu Wei was about to turn hostile, Zhao Dajiang reluctantly took it back.
The day's sales revenue somewhat exceeded Gu Wei's expectations.
However, having already experienced it once, he wasn't particularly affected.
Gu Jianguo and the other two were even more excited than him.
I was reluctant to fall asleep for a long time.
Although I bought a new house, it's not fully furnished yet and can't be lived in for the time being.
Gu Wei was still living in the west room. He could hear the conversation and when he looked at the time, it was already past nine o'clock. He had to call out to remind them, "Xiao Jie has to go to school tomorrow, and the performance is the day after tomorrow. Everyone should go to bed early."
Gu Jianguo and Li Guizhi immediately said in unison, "Okay, let's go to sleep right away." "Right, we can talk about it tomorrow during the day."
Gu Hongjie shouted at the top of his lungs, "Can I go to your room and sleep with you?"
"Just go to sleep. What are you doing making a fuss in the middle of the night?"
Gu Wei heard his grandfather's scolding and couldn't help but chuckle.
But he didn't want to refuse his father's request.
"Okay, bring your pillow."
Gu Hongjie received permission and immediately put on his shoes and ran over.
The three puppies in the kitchen doghouse whined and tried to follow him into the house, but Gu Hongjie ruthlessly blocked them from entering.
Gu Wei had already turned on the light and laid out the bedding for Gu Hongjie next to him.
He patted the silk quilt cover and said with a smile, "Come on up."
Gu Hongjie chuckled, nimbly climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed), placed his pillow, and slipped into bed.
Gu Wei then pulled the light cord.
The room fell into darkness once again.
"Once I move next door, this room will be yours. Finally, you'll have your own room, aren't you happy?"
Gu Hongjie gave a drawn-out "hmm," and said, "I'm a little happy, and a little unhappy."
Gu Wei yawned and casually asked, "Why?"
Gu Hongjie answered very seriously, "What makes me happy is that all the classmates I know, and the neighborhood kids I play with, sleep on the same kang (a heated brick bed) with their families. Very few of them have their own rooms. I'm the first one. What makes me unhappy is that now that you've moved next door, I can't hear you at night anymore."
Gu Wei almost burst out laughing: "What noise do I make at night? Snoring, grinding my teeth, talking in my sleep?"
“No, not at all.” Gu Hongjie moved closer to Gu Wei. “I feel really at ease knowing you’re sleeping in the west room. If you’re not there, I always feel a bit empty…”
Gu Wei felt a bit complicated and subtle, and reached out to rub Gu Hongjie's head.
