Compared to men, women tend to prefer stability and are less willing to take risks.
Therefore, Zhao Zhengyuan's idea naturally did not receive Yao Shulan's support.
And we are currently in a period of skyrocketing prices, so nobody knows what tomorrow will bring.
There's really no need to take on trouble.
The family of three stayed at the Gu family's house for another half hour before leaving.
After they left, Gu Jianguo chatted with Gu Wei for a while.
Based on his decades of experience, he also felt it was best not to get involved in this matter.
Gu Wei didn't expect that after Zhao Zhengyuan temporarily gave up the idea of taking over the contract, some people took the initiative to approach him.
The forestry resources in the forest area are now facing a crisis of depletion. Not only are timber processing plants not doing well, but plywood factories, floorboard factories, and slab factories are also in a similar situation. Many employees have not even received their wages for several months.
Under various pressures, the state-owned factory released information about contracting out its operations to the public.
Once this is announced, it means the factory is already operating at a loss and needs a capable leader to continue its development; otherwise, it will face bankruptcy.
However, the blurring of lines between government and business serves as a stark warning, as exemplified by the example of Lao Bu and his colleagues.
Gu Wei preferred to invest the money in treasury bonds, like Yang Baiwan, to make money from money, or to buy more of the five old stocks in Shenzhen, rather than accept the heavy responsibility of "saving people and factories," so he politely declined them all.
Therefore, some people feel that Gu Wei is too selfish and self-serving, and that he doesn't know how to use his wealth to benefit the community and lead everyone to common prosperity.
Hearing these rumors, Gu Wei could only chuckle twice.
Use only what you are capable of.
The process of converting state-owned enterprises into private ones is fraught with difficulties.
He insisted on doing work that wasn't his, and in the end, he'll just have to get himself done...
After returning to the modern world, Gu Wei picked up his phone and saw the message that Zhou Wenbo had invited him for drinks.
He knew that the other person was very upset lately.
Suddenly, a son appeared.
And it's already over a year old.
Based on the estimated time, she probably conceived around the Chinese New Year of 2025, and the two later broke up.
To everyone's surprise, a while ago, that ex-girlfriend came to our door with her child to claim kinship.
Although Mr. and Mrs. Zhou were angry about their son's unreliability, after the DNA test confirmed that he was their grandson, how could they not love this good-looking child who had fallen from the sky and had a sweet mouth?
The child's mother wants not only child support but also the marriage.
The Zhou family were entitled to compensation for their land expropriation and were not short of money at all, but Zhou Wenbo had no desire to get married, especially not in this way where a child was used as a bargaining chip to force him into marriage.
When Gu Wei arrived at the Left Bank Bar, he found that Zhou Wenbo was already there, sitting at the bar drinking alone.
The music playing on stage was a bit noisy, so Gu Wei didn't rush to greet him. Only when he got closer did he gently pat him on the shoulder from behind.
Zhou Wenbo immediately turned his head, and when he saw that it was Gu Wei, his whole face came to life.
"Hi, David."
Looking at Zhou Wenbo, who was originally chubby, Gu Wei noticed that he looked rather haggard and even a little thinner recently due to various things.
How long have you been here?
Zhou Wenbo forced a smile. "It hasn't been long. What would you like to drink?"
Gu Wei sat down next to him and ordered the same whiskey on the rocks as Zhou Wenbo.
Zhou Wenbo leaned closer to Gu Wei, his face contorted with misery, and said, "Why am I so unlucky! I got pecked in the eye by the hawk. We agreed to a mutually beneficial arrangement and a clean break, but damn it, I ended up with a son out of nowhere!"
Because Zhou Wenbo's breath reeked of alcohol, Gu Wei instinctively moved to the side.
He knew the other person just wanted someone to confide in and vent their frustrations, so after taking a sip of his drink, he said, "If you're intentional, you'll catch someone else off guard. Any man would fall for it."
Zhou Wenbo felt much clearer-headed and nodded in agreement, "That's right! I'm a very safety-conscious person, I've never been without an umbrella, so the fact that I still got pregnant is enough to show that there were some underhanded tactics involved."
This woman is terrifying! She actually wants me to marry her? I must be out of my mind! She even said she wants to have our child because she loves me so much! Does she think I'm stupid?! It's only because my family is rich!
After listening silently for a while, Gu Wei felt even more sympathy for Zhou Wenbo.
At the same time, he was secretly glad that he hadn't gotten pregnant when he broke up with his ex-girlfriend, otherwise he would have been heartbroken.
What are your opinions now, Uncle and Aunt?
“My parents definitely wouldn’t want a woman like that in the family. She’s so calculating even before marriage. How can we expect to have a peaceful life after we get married?” Zhou Wenbo continued, his brows furrowed. “But that girl is just too good at it. She makes the two of them feel like they’ve been apart for ages. If this continues, I’m really afraid they’ll switch sides.”
Gu Wei recalled the scene when he went to the Zhou family to see that child. He was indeed a smart and clever child. In addition, his biological mother instilled some things in him, making him a tool-like existence.
Whether or not you get married is ultimately up to you. As long as you persevere, your aunt and uncle are quite open-minded and probably won't pressure you into marriage.
Zhou Wenbo swirled the wine in his glass, the ice and liquor bobbing back and forth. "That's hard to say. By the way, you and my sister have been dating for several years now, when are you planning to get married?"
Gu Wei paused in his drinking, momentarily speechless at the sudden question.
Because he and Zhou Wenyi had an open and honest discussion about marriage before they decided to be together.
Although Gu Wei is not against marriage, he doesn't want to easily embark on marriage because of his special advantages and other reasons.
