Chapter 166 Don't Look at Me Like That



News of Gu Wei's return spread quickly, and many people came to the house one after another.

Besides familiar faces like Li Bin and Qiao Xinghai, there were also people from certain organizations.

From the 1950s when the vast forests were developed and entered into the forest area, batches of timber were harvested and produced to support the country's economic construction. However, by the mid-1980s, forestry resources were gradually facing a crisis of depletion.

Gu Wei, this renowned self-employed individual, has undoubtedly become a "capable person," a "hot commodity," and a "moving gold mine" in the eyes of many.

However, even though Gu Wei had money, he didn't want to be taken advantage of and end up working for someone else's benefit.

Therefore, after settling Zhao Dajiang's matter, he planned to leave.

Although Gu Hongjie was somewhat reluctant and unhappy, he understood that Gu Wei had many things to do and had no choice but to leave.

However, he made one request: he wanted to see someone off at the city's train station.

Faced with those sparkling eyes, Gu Wei couldn't bring himself to refuse and had no choice but to agree.

Anyway, we can get off halfway through the journey, it's just a waste of a ticket.

Before leaving, Gu Jianguo prepared a lot of delicious food for Gu Wei and packed several bottles of pickled vegetable sauce for her to take with her.

Gu Wei packed some local specialties, intending to give them to Grandpa Chu and the others when he returned.

The train was at around 3 p.m. Gu Wei and his group had lunch and rested for a while before setting off with two large bags full of food.

If they hadn't brought so much stuff, the three of them could have easily ridden their motorcycles into the city.

Now you can only take the Sengoku Railway mini-train.

To Gu Wei's surprise, after they got off the train in the city and entered the waiting room of the train station, they saw the Xu Qiuhe and Xu Qiuyue sisters sitting in a row.

Wearing a floral dress, Xu Qiuhe stood up to greet him warmly, "Little brother, where are you going?"

Gu Wei glanced at Xu Qiuyue, who had also stood up and was twisting her fingers, and said with a light smile, "Let's go to the provincial capital."

He had a decent impression of Xu Qiuhe, but his impression of Xu Qiuyue was not so good.

Xu Qiuhe clapped her hands happily, "That's great! My little sister is going back to Beijing for university, and she'll also be going to the provincial capital. It'll be good to have someone to look after her on the way."

Gu Wei didn't want to take on this responsibility and suffer a whole night for nothing, and she wasn't afraid of offending them either, "We might not even be in the same carriage."

Xu Qiuhe was taken aback, then suddenly remembered that the other person had a boyfriend, and instantly felt relieved.

"That's true. There are so many people taking the bus now, it's not easy to even squeeze on."

Gu Jianguo showed an approving expression, very satisfied with Gu Wei's attitude.

Things are different now than before. Gu Wei is in a relationship, and it would be bad if taking care of other girls caused misunderstandings.

Gu Hongjie also curled up the corners of his mouth.

He would never forget the scene when Xu Qiuyue and her female college student looked down on him during their first meeting at the state-run restaurant.

They would never want Gu Wei to get close to the other party.

Soon, Gu Wei led Gu Jianguo and the others toward the row of empty seats by the window at the back.

Watching them walk away, Xu Qiuhe finally looked away, only to catch her sister's complicated and unfathomable gaze.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she lowered her voice to ask, "What kind of expression is that?"

Xu Qiuyue curled her lip in disdain, "If you ask me, you didn't need to pay any attention to him. Now you're just offering your warm face to his cold backside, aren't you? Besides, it's not like this is my first time taking the train. Do I need him to take care of me?"

Seeing her younger sister's attitude, Xu Qiuhe felt a little relieved and said earnestly, "You are still too young. This Gu Wei is no ordinary person. He not only has shops in the Forestry Bureau and the city, but also businesses in the provincial capital. He has bought motorcycles and cars as well."

"You see him all the time, so even if you don't want to get along with him, you can't afford to offend him either. I heard that Deputy Director Zhou is on very friendly terms with him... Some leaders don't dare to do anything to him, afraid that if they push him too far, he'll just walk away..."

Xu Qiuyue listened absentmindedly, unable to describe the feeling in her heart.

Gu Wei hadn't taken a liking to Qin Zhiman, who came from a good family, and she had initially felt smug and particularly pleased with herself.

However, he didn't stay single forever; he found a college student as a partner.

Although I don't know which university she's from, her looks and qualifications are definitely no worse than Qin Zhiman's.

Gu Jianguo and Gu Hongjie escorted Gu Wei onto the train carriage, and only got off the train when they were worried that he wouldn't be able to get off later.

Gu Wei stood in the crowded aisle, waving goodbye to them through the open train window, who were still on the platform. "You guys should go back now."

"We'll leave after the car starts moving!" Gu Hongjie shouted, his eyes already a little red.

Gu Jianguo knew that his son and Gu Wei had a deep bond, so he patted his shoulder and whispered a reminder, "You're a grown man now, be strong. Besides, if Gu Wei sees you crying, he won't feel good either."

Honestly, I've been using this app to follow my favorite books lately. It has multiple reading sources, various voice options, and works on both Android and Apple devices.

Gu Hongjie didn't want Gu Wei to feel bad, so he quickly raised his head and tried to smile as he called out, "When I write to you, you have to reply in time!"

Gu Wei solemnly promised loudly, "Don't worry, I will reply to you as quickly as possible."

Gu Hongjie then said very quickly, "Also, please tell Grandpa Chu that I will write to him as well."

"good."

As soon as Gu Wei finished speaking, the train whistle sounded.

He watched helplessly as the train started moving, and Gu Hongjie even chased after it for a short distance, feeling a little lost.

Even knowing that we will meet again in the near future, parting is still a painful thing.

After that, Gu Wei got off the bus after only one stop.
