They chatted all the way, and the car soon arrived at Xu Kailin's repair shop.
The two opened the car door and got out.
The master craftsman and the young apprentice who was also selling goods in the shop came out when they heard the commotion.
Old Chen and Xiao Liu stared at Gu Wei's car with shining eyes, their curiosity and envy evident as they cautiously touched and looked at it.
Gu Wei has been coming over often lately, and everyone has gotten to know each other well. We even generously let them sit in the car and study it for a long time.
This delighted the two of them, and they quickly did as instructed.
Gu Wei followed Xu Kailin into the shop.
Despite its small size and out-of-the-way location, the store has built up some brand recognition over this period of time.
Just as Gu Weigang accepted the tea that Xu Kailin had specially brewed, a man and a woman entered the shop.
The two were probably in their thirties.
The man was wearing a cool, fuzzy shirt and dark-colored trousers.
The woman was wearing a floral dress and had her hair styled in wavy curls.
Xiao Liu was a perceptive young man. Upon seeing the visitors, he quickly got out of the car and ran into the store to greet them.
Gu Wei hadn't paid much attention to the couple who wanted to inquire about buying a used color TV until he caught the woman glancing at him again, which made him frown slightly.
Xu Kailin noticed it too.
He knew that the God of Wealth was handsome and naturally attracted the attention and favor of women.
But if it's a beautiful young woman, that's one thing, but a woman who looks like she's already married would make anyone feel a bit disgusted.
"Brother Gu, how about we..."
When the woman heard the name "Brother Gu," her eyes lit up, and she interrupted him, saying, "You're the Little Gu who lives in 322, right? I thought you looked like me as soon as I came in, but I didn't dare to recognize you."
Gu Wei was surprised to find that this person was a neighbor living in the staff quarters. Although the other person recognized him, he had no recollection of him. He could only politely reply, "Yes, I am. And you are?"
“I’m the granddaughter of the Chu family, who lives next door to you. A few days ago at my grandfather’s house, you were with my cousin Baisheng…” Chu Bailin could tell that this self-employed individual surnamed Gu really didn’t remember her. She felt a little annoyed and angry, but when she looked at the shop and the car parked in front, she suppressed all her emotions.
Gu Wei noticed the change in her expression and felt that this person might have an ulterior motive, which was why she was being so deliberately enthusiastic.
"Oh, I'm sorry, there were a lot of people that day, I didn't notice."
"Oh, it's okay, I understand."
Chu Bailin is a very goal-oriented person. Even if she looked down on Gu Wei, who was a self-employed individual, she would try her best to get close to him now that she realized she could be of use to him. "Is this your shop?"
Gu Wei was not oblivious; he instantly understood why the other party was pretending to look down on him.
"No, it's owned by a friend."
Although Chu Bailin was a little disappointed, she had just noticed that her friend respected Gu Wei.
"If we really want to buy a used color TV in the store, can you give us the most affordable price?"
Gu Wei smiled slightly, "Of course. Old Xu, for my sake, please give Sister Chu a little more."
Gu Wei gave Xu Kailin a look, implying that as long as the price was reasonable, it didn't matter, and that they weren't particularly close.
Xu Kailin followed the lead of the God of Wealth, and by observing his words and expressions, he knew what to do.
"Since Brother Gu has spoken, it must be the lowest price."
Chu Bailin smiled happily and even exchanged a smug wink with her husband. After all, it would be foolish not to take advantage of a good deal, and saving money is always the best policy.
Imported color TVs are very expensive now.
Domestically produced ones cost 1700 or 1800 yuan, and you might not even be able to buy them.
Therefore, second-hand color TVs have become a hot commodity.
Xu Kailin's shop only has two of them.
Chu Bailin and her husband finally chose one that looked about 80% new and bought it.
After they left, Xu Kailin flicked the wad of ten-yuan notes he had just collected and said, "Brother Gu, I'll treat you to a nice meal later. Order whatever you like."
Gu Wei knew that Xu Kailin had made a good profit from this deal, and said with a smile, "Then I won't be polite."
Afterwards, they went to a restaurant that wasn't too far away for a meal.
After the meal, Gu Wei returned the people and the packed food before leaving.
The car drove up to the building in front of the residential compound, attracting a large crowd of onlookers.
After all, owning a motorcycle was a very cool thing back then, and for many families, owning a car was something they couldn't even dream of.
Gu Wei had anticipated this, and calmly locked the car and went upstairs.
Because he wasn't the only one with a car nearby; there was also a self-employed individual who drove a Lada.
A few days later, once people's initial excitement wore off, Gu Wei's comings and goings became less noticeable.
However, what he didn't know was that in the eyes of many neighbors, he had suddenly become the second richest person in the neighborhood.
The annual summer vacation has arrived.
Gu Wei knew beforehand that Hou Yongxian intended for Lin Yu and her brother to stay in the capital for a while.
When he went back last time, Lin Hang mentioned that Ke Yi would take the opportunity of delivering goods to bring his siblings to Beijing during the holidays.
Therefore, after receiving Hou Yongxian's telegram, Gu Wei went to the train station to pick him up right on time.
After getting off the bus, carrying two large bags, Ke Yi quickly spotted Gu Wei, who stood out like a crane among chickens, in the bustling crowd. He greeted him with a big smile and called out, "Brother Gu!"
Gu Wei was searching for Ke Yi when he heard the noise. He looked in the direction of the sound and immediately smiled, squeezing over.
"Was the journey smooth? This train was more than 20 minutes late."
"Smoothly." Ke Yi quickly dodged Gu Wei's hand. "I can hold it, Brother Gu, it's not heavy."
