The next day.
When Gu Wei woke up, it was already past seven o'clock.
He opened the curtains and saw that the sun was shining brightly outside and the snow had stopped.
The snow left its mark; a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the rooftops, firewood stacks, dog kennels, and other places, resembling a cream cake.
In the courtyard, Gu Hongjie and Liang Weibing were clearing snow with tools.
Judging from the height of the accumulated snowdrifts, this snowfall was quite heavy; the snow may have reached above knee level.
Gu Wei rubbed his face to clear his head, then began to put on his clothes.
Perhaps seeing that Gu Wei's curtains were drawn back, she realized he had already gotten up.
Gu Hongjie and Liang Weibing, carrying wide-mouthed shovels, quickly arrived at the door of the house.
Gu Wei put on his shoes, got out of bed, and quickly washed up.
Then he put on his down jacket before pushing open the door and going out.
You don't feel it when you're in a warm room.
I didn't realize how cold it was outside until I came out.
No wonder people say it's not cold when it snows, but it's cold when the snow melts.
When Liang Weibing saw Gu Wei, he immediately said with a smile, "Brother Gu, get up."
"Hmm. How did you sleep last night?" Gu Wei asked, his voice still a little hoarse.
Liang Weibing quickly smiled and said, "I slept very well. I just don't know if my snoring disturbed Xiao Jie?"
Gu Hongjie smiled and shook his head at their gazes, "I'm a dead sleeper, I didn't hear anything."
Seeing that Gu Hongjie's face was flushed and Liang Weibing's cheeks were also a little red, Gu Wei said, "Stop doing that for now, let's all go inside and warm up."
"good."
"OK."
After agreeing in unison, the two put down their tools by the wall.
Gu Hongjie often came to Gu Wei's new house, so after entering the house, he took off his hat and cotton gauze and went to warm his hands on the radiator in the living room.
Liang Weibing, on the other hand, seemed a bit awkward and curious.
While Gu Wei was pouring water from the thermos, she quietly observed the situation inside the room.
Gu Wei poured two glasses of water and handed them to them.
"Soldier, are you busy today?"
Liang Weibing immediately sat up straight. "It's nothing. Brother Gu, just tell me if there's anything you want me to do for you."
"Okay." Gu Weiwen instructed, "Go to the city and deliver a message to Binzi and the others. If anyone goes to the store to investigate, there are only four permanent employees: three sales clerks and one store manager. If they ask about Dafei and Dakai, just say that they are friends who came to help."
Liang Weibing nodded hurriedly, "Okay, I will definitely pass on the message."
Gu Wei continued, "Also, tell them not to be nervous or afraid. If the Industry and Commerce Bureau really goes, tell them to come to the Forestry Bureau to find me."
"Okay." Seeing Gu Wei's calm demeanor, Liang Weibing pressed on, "Brother Gu, what are the plans on this side?"
Gu Wei smiled slightly, "There are only two sales clerks here. My young master and young mistress are helping out. Together, they completely comply with the 'seven up, eight down' policy."
"But you have to be prepared for anything, and you'll need to ask your relatives to help smooth things over. It would be even better if you could find out who reported it..."
Liang Weibing readily agreed, "No problem."
Soon, Gu Jianguo from next door came out and called them to dinner.
The three of them immediately got up and went over.
Breakfast was prepared in a very generous manner.
In addition to yesterday's leftovers, the table was also filled with stewed tofu with pickled mustard greens, scrambled eggs with scallions, and steamed pork belly.
The food at home was good, which Gu Wei and his family had long been accustomed to.
Liang Weibing, however, felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Because his family was relatively well-off, they only ate something simple for breakfast.
After the meal.
After Liang Weibing left, Gu Jianguo revealed a worried expression and couldn't help but ask Gu Wei, "Can this matter really be resolved?"
He and his wife didn't sleep well for most of last night, worried that something might have happened to the shop or Gu Wei.
"Grandpa, don't worry about it." Gu Wei then explained his arrangements, "...So, all things considered, we are completely in compliance with the policy."
Gu Jianguo immediately felt much relieved. "Yes, yes, your great-grandmother and I aren't exactly hired people, we're just helping out at most."
After that, Gu
Jianguo hurriedly went to the front and gave some instructions to Li Guizhi and Zhao Zhengying, who had come to work.
...
Gu Wei waited patiently at home.
As a result, the business administration officials never arrived.
Li Bin and Liang Weibing arrived in a hurry.
"Brother Gu."
“Brother Gu, Binzi insisted on coming back with me,” Liang Weibing explained.
Gu Wei waved his hand, "It's alright. It's quite cold outside, you should drink some hot tea to warm up."
Li Bin has now turned the clothing store into his own business, so naturally he couldn't sit still after hearing about this.
"Brother Gu, do you think it could be that the other side reported it? Otherwise, why would they report it now, right after they've opened? And some customers have said that the couple is quite hostile towards us..."
Gu Wei took a sip of warm tea. "Very likely. However, everything requires evidence. Let's wait and see if the city's industry and commerce bureau can identify the person who made the report before making a decision."
Li Bin nodded vigorously, "Good! When it's confirmed that they really did it, we must teach them a lesson! We must let them know how many eyes Lord Ma has."
Liang Weibing's family did not eat meat at every meal.
Therefore, after eating two oily meals at the Gu family's house, my stomach couldn't adapt for a while. After chatting with them for a while, I hurriedly ran to the toilet.
Only two people remained in the room.
Li Bin quickly seized the opportunity to hand over the revenue.
Gu Wei nodded casually and then put it aside.
