Chapter 192 People strive for higher positions, water flows downhill



After the courtyard house was renovated, Gu Wei would stay here every time he came to Beijing.

Therefore, after they got off the vehicle, they simply wiped off the dust and tidied up.

Li Guizhi and Gu Hongjie had visited once before, and they still couldn't hide their excitement and envy as they stepped back in.

This is the capital city! Such a large compound, such a prime location. If we hadn't acted early, we definitely wouldn't have been able to buy it with that much money.

Gu Wei owned more than just this one courtyard house and property.

However, after learning Gu Wei's true identity, Gu Jianguo's mood and perspective on the issue changed.

He felt that having these properties provided him with a sense of security.

Even if Gu Wei's business loses money or becomes difficult in the future, he won't be afraid.

After the four of them worked together to tidy up the room where they were sleeping, Gu Wei urged Gu Jianguo and the others to go and rest quickly.

Although I bought a sleeper ticket, the train was extremely slow at that time, and it took a long time to travel from the provincial capital to Beijing. The journey was arduous and exhausting.

Li Guizhi usually seems like a good person, but she is most afraid of being tired and overworked. Her heart disease is like something she carries in her pocket, and it can strike at any time.

After settling in with his grandparents, Gu Wei planned to drive to buy some groceries and other items to fill the refrigerator.

Gu Hongjie, being full of energy, insisted on going along.

Gu Wei naturally disagreed.

The two drove out of the alley, and a music store on the street was playing "Asian Heroes".

"In Asia, mountains stand tall and proud."

In Asia, rivers flow like hot blood.

In Asia, trees are all connected by their roots.

"In Asia, even the clouds are holding hands..."

Gu Hongjie couldn't help but start singing along.

Gu Wei smiled and shook his head, then pulled out the cassette tape containing the song and put it in to play.

The Asian Games were just held last year, and this song, sung by Wei Wei and Liu Huan, is currently very popular.

Posters about the Asian Games were everywhere on the streets, and Panda Panpan remained the most familiar symbol of this period.

This Asian Games is the first time that China has hosted a large-scale comprehensive international sports event.

At the same time, it is also a landmark event for expanding opening up and exchange and cooperation with the outside world after the reform and opening up.

On the opening day, sports delegations from 37 countries and regions, all members of the Olympic Council of Asia, gathered at the Workers' Stadium. A total of 6,578 athletes participated in the Asian Games, with 636 athletes from China participating in all 27 sports and 2 demonstration sports.

During the 14 days of fierce competition, athletes from various Asian countries set a series of brilliant records, with the Chinese delegation winning the most gold medals and the highest total number of medals.

In order to host this Asian Games, starting in 1986, construction began on the Olympic Sports Center, the Asian Games Village, and other projects in just four years, which led to the northward expansion of the central axis to the vicinity of the Fourth Ring Road.

To prepare for the construction of the Olympic Sports Center and its supporting facilities, 260 hectares of farmland in Datun Township were requisitioned, 10 natural villages were abolished, 20 venues were built, and 13 existing venues were renovated or repaired.

This is another large-scale urban construction project following the "Ten Great Buildings" of the 1950s.

After the Asian Games, two wealthy neighborhoods emerged in Beijing: Fangzhuang and the Asian Games Village. Owning a mobile phone, driving a car, and living in the Asian Games Village became the standard for the wealthy in Beijing.

Gu Wei drove Gu Hongjie to the supermarket first, bought two large bags of groceries, and then went to KFC for a meal.

KFC, which entered the mainland market in 1987, sells beer daily. A hamburger costs 2.5 yuan, and other food items include Original Recipe Chicken, Mashed Potatoes with Chicken Broth, Vegetable Salad, and Bread.

It is said that when it opened, the three-story building on Qianmen Street was brightly lit, and the atmosphere was extremely lively, with long queues outside.

People of Gu Hongjie's age absolutely love this kind of fried fast food.

Gu Wei basically ordered everything he could.

The two chose a seat by the window and sat down.

Gu Hongjie happily devoured the hamburger, finishing it off in just a few bites.

Gu Wei watched him eat with a smile, "Slow down, no one's going to take it from you."

Gu Hongjie swallowed the food in his mouth and smiled so wide his eyes disappeared. "I know you won't fight me for it, but it's really too delicious. I wish there would be a branch in the forest area someday. I would definitely go there to eat every few days."

Gu Wei was amused by his words. "There's plenty to eat in the forest area. And are you crazy? Once you get into a university here, you won't have to worry about not being able to eat!"

Gu Hongjie chuckled first, then a hint of unease flashed in his eyes, "Actually, I don't know if I'll be admitted to my first choice. Isn't there always the option of being accepted through a transfer program?"

"Don't worry, as long as you do well on the exam, you should be fine," Gu Wei reassured her. "After all, there's a year of military training. Aren't there plenty of people like Xiaoyun who don't want to study for another year or think they can't handle the hardship? So, you don't have as many competitors as you might think."

Gu Wei knew that because of this incident, the student enrollment of Peking University and Fudan University was greatly affected, and there would probably be changes in two years.

Gu Hongjie felt much more at ease and resumed his hearty eating and drinking with a smile...

After resting in the capital, Gu Wei and his group went to see Hou Yongxian and the others.

Having not seen each other for a long time, it was inevitable that we would catch up and have a long chat over drinks.

In recent years, Hou Yongxian and his old partner have been running a successful antique shop, and he has become quite well-off.

After graduating from the Open University, Lin Yu found a clerical job at a company and remains unmarried to this day.

Lin Hang didn't start primary school until he was over ten years old due to health reasons. He is now a first-year high school student and is said to be doing very well in his studies.

As for Ke Yi, he was introduced to a divorced woman with a young girl, and they lived a harmonious life together.
