Then, he walked over to the luxurious office chair and sat down.
He tapped the table a few times with his long, slender fingers.
Gu Wei thought for a moment and then turned on the computer in front of him.
I switched to the monitoring interface and checked the situation in various locations inside and outside the store where there were cameras.
Both the front of house and the back of house were bustling with activity in an orderly manner.
Gu Wei quickly turned off the monitor and took out his phone to play games.
Actually, because I haven't played much lately, I was a bit rusty at first, but I gradually got back into the swing of things and started playing better.
Just as he was engrossed in the game, there was a knock on the office door.
"Please come in."
Gu Wei looked up and saw a waiter pushing a trolley to deliver food, with Zhou Wenyi following behind.
Once the four dishes and soup, a mix of meat and vegetables, were placed on the desk, the waiter immediately left.
Zhou Wenyi stood there, fidgeting with her fingers somewhat awkwardly.
Gu Wei had guessed some of what was going on. He didn't rush to eat, but looked at her with clear eyes and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Zhou Wenyi didn't know why, even though she had prepared her speech in her mind, her heart was pounding, her mind went blank, and her mouth was like a clam that couldn't open.
"I...I have a question."
Gu Wei gestured, "Ask away."
Zhou Wenyi licked her lips and mustered her courage to ask, "Brother Gu, you said you had someone you liked before. I want to ask, it's been so long, are you two together now?"
Gu Wei shook his head without the slightest hesitation, "No."
After weighing the options, he has given up.
After all, back in the 1980s, his identity was fake and couldn't withstand investigation.
Once you start dating and marry someone, you can hide it for a while, but not forever.
Zhou Wenyi was overjoyed, her face beaming with smiles, and her voice became even sweeter, "So you're single now?"
Gu Wei nodded with a relaxed expression. "Yes."
Zhou Wenyi got the answer she wanted, and was so excited and happy that she almost danced with joy. Her big eyes sparkled with tears as she stared intently at Gu Wei.
"Does that mean I have a chance?"
Just as Gu Wei was about to speak, the office door rang again with a "thump-thump-thump" sound.
Zhou Wenyi's smile vanished visibly from her small face, and her shoulders slumped.
Looking at her, Gu Wei felt she resembled a little squirrel, which was strangely adorable.
"Please come in."
As expected, it was Zhong Xiang standing outside the door.
When he saw that there was not only Gu Wei in the office, but also a particularly beautiful girl with red cheeks and eyes, he immediately realized that he had come at the wrong time.
"Hey bro, why don't you go ahead with your work, I'll be there later..."
"Come in, Brother Zhong."
Gu Wei first greeted Zhong Xiang, and then said to Zhou Wenyi, "Let's talk later."
Zhou Wenyi's mood brightened, and her sixth sense told her that perhaps there was still a possibility between the two of them in the future.
"Okay, Brother Gu."
Then he gave Zhong Xiang a polite smile.
Zhong Xiang returned the gesture with a nod.
After everyone left, only Gu Wei and his companion remained in the office.
Zhong Xiang glanced at the food on his desk and chuckled twice. "Brother, no wonder I didn't introduce you to a girlfriend. She's really pretty and has a great presence."
Gu Wei hadn't decided whether he and Zhou Wenyi would be together, so he just laughed it off and moved on to other topics.
Zhong Xiang isn't the type to pry into things.
The relationship between the two, in particular, was good, but it was also unequal.
"Brother, the food will get cold soon, so you can eat first and not delay your meal."
Gu Wei didn't stand on ceremony with him and first handed him a bottle of water.
Then I wiped my hands with a wet wipe, took out my chopsticks, and started eating.
Zhong Xiang sat on the guest sofa next to him, took a sip of water, and said, "I was really bored during my two months abroad. Now that I'm back, I still feel that it's better here. The food is good, and the activities are good too."
Gu Wei swallowed the food in his mouth and said leisurely, "If it's like this after two months, Brother Zhong, will you still be able to retire there?"
"Yes, I'm also considering that. Let's take it one step at a time."
The two chatted casually.
After Gu Wei put down the rice bowl, it seemed he had finished eating.
Zhong Xiangcai looked at Gu Wei and said somewhat nervously, "By the way, brother, do you still have any wild ginseng?"
Gu Wei's eyes flickered slightly as he gracefully wiped his mouth, without immediately answering.
He certainly has wild ginseng, and he has several that are 50 or 30 years old.
However, he had already sold two trees to Zhongxiang and auctioned off another one.
If it's brought out again so easily, only a fool wouldn't think twice.
Of course, Zhong Xiang must have some guesses in his mind now.
However, in business, we just turn a blind eye.
"You sold both of those trees?"
Zhong Xiang sighed and didn't hide anything, "A few months ago, someone who had cheated me before wanted to buy fifty years' worth of my services, but I couldn't agree to it."
Even if I hadn't sold the other one, I would still consider this one my prized possession and would never give it to that treacherous person.
Then, he resorted to underhanded tactics, repeatedly disrupting my business and even trying to threaten me with his son abroad. Naturally, I wouldn't sit idly by, so I used some connections and cunning to get him arrested. However, the wild ginseng also became a bargaining chip, and I sold it to someone else…”
Gu Wei listened patiently as he explained.
