Gu Wei drove around the outer ring road for a while.
Only after I felt I had had my fill did I go to the villa.
A few days ago, he had already hired a renovation company to come and measure the dimensions.
It is estimated that the drawings will be completed soon and construction will begin.
Compared to the original homeowner's extravagant style, Gu Wei prefers a more understated and cozy atmosphere.
Especially when it comes to his first house, he naturally wants to pursue perfection.
At first, it seemed like there were very few things I wanted to change, but in practice, it wasn't like that at all.
Make a few changes here and there, and together small changes become big changes.
Gu Wei drove the car into the garage and lingered for a moment.
Buying the car today was a spur-of-the-moment decision, an impulsive purchase.
But what man doesn't like a sports car?
This can be considered as him buying himself a super big toy.
On his way back to the upper floors in a taxi, Gu Wei suddenly received a call from Song Daming.
"Dude, I'm free! I'm not putting up with those bastards anymore! Do whatever you want!"
Gu Wei was somewhat surprised.
After all, during their previous phone call, Song Daming seemed to be unwilling to actually resign.
They changed their minds so quickly.
Where are you now?
Song Daming chuckled: "I'm at the mall. I'll act first and ask questions later. I need to buy my Tongtong a little gift to appease her, otherwise she'll definitely be angry with me and make me sleep on the sofa."
Gu Wei was both amused and exasperated: "Then you should try your best to appease her as soon as possible. Then you can come work at my shop, and your salary will definitely double."
"No need to double the bet, just drive normally. I've been wanting to come down and help you for a long time! This time, my wish has finally come true! Where are you? Let's meet up and chat over a meal. It's been days since we ate together."
Gu Wei glanced at the time and said, "Okay, let's meet at our usual spot for skewers."
Alright.
Song Daming quickly hung up.
Gu Wei changed his route again and headed straight for the barbecue restaurant.
Eating barbecue outdoors in the sweltering summer heat creates a better atmosphere.
After they met, they sat down directly outside the shop.
We ordered a ton of food and two pitchers of beer.
Gu Wei glanced at the brand packaging bag next to him, "Looks like they've gone all out this time."
"That's necessary. You have to give up something to gain something; otherwise, this hurdle will be difficult to overcome."
Song Daming wasn't actually afraid of his girlfriend; he just didn't want to make her angry.
And what I did was indeed wrong; I quit my job without discussing it with them first.
Gu Wei had been looking forward to meeting someone who would make her heart flutter and having a sweet romance.
Seeing Song Daming like this now, I suddenly feel that being single isn't so bad.
His girlfriend might only slow him down the speed at which he draws his sword.
"Actually, if I could still tolerate it, I definitely wouldn't have lost my temper..."
"What exactly happened?"
"I'm telling you..."
The two ate, drank, and chatted.
Perhaps it's related to my mood.
Despite having a higher alcohol tolerance than Gu Wei, Song Daming got drunk.
Gu Wei then escorted Song Daming to the building where he rented his apartment.
By the time we got back to 84, it was already past 10 p.m.
People at that time had few forms of entertainment and few owned televisions, so they usually went to bed early.
The windows of every household were dark, with only a few lights shining through, as most people were already asleep.
Apart from the occasional faint barking of dogs in the distance, it was so quiet.
Although there were no streetlights, the moon hanging in the sky shone brightly, illuminating the earth.
Gu Wei didn't use a flashlight; instead, he strolled along the street by the moonlight.
Sudden.
Gu Wei noticed a dark figure ahead.
He seemed to be loitering between his own home and Liu Damei's home, behaving somewhat suspiciously.
He immediately moved close to the side, while simultaneously pulling out his weapon for self-defense.
With such a thriving business, it's no surprise that it attracts unscrupulous individuals.
In addition, the Yuan family's attempt to reconcile yesterday was unsuccessful.
It's hard to say whether they might have bad intentions behind the scenes.
That person must have sensed someone's approaching, because they quickly left.
Gu Wei did not chase after him.
After all, to catch a thief, you need to catch him red-handed; to catch an adulterer, you need to catch them in the act.
In the back room, only Gu Jianguo was still awake.
Seeing Gu Wei return, she immediately came out and asked with concern, "Have you eaten? The food is in the big pot."
"I've already eaten, Grandpa."
Gu Wei said in a low voice, "I just saw someone acting suspiciously outside the gate."
Gu Jianguo's expression immediately changed.
Actually, he had his worries, given how well the store was doing.
Even though the effects of the crackdown are still lingering, the allure of money means that many people are willing to take risks, pull off a quick heist, and run away.
"Whether they're plotting against us or not, we need to be on guard. So, tonight I'll move a folding bed to the front to sleep. Then tomorrow I'll fix the windows and doors."
"What if two or three people come? I'll go with them!"
Just because of suspicion, they haphazardly packed away all the clothes and trinkets in the store. It would be a hassle to put them away again tomorrow, so it would be easier to just stay at the store overnight.
Furthermore, Gu Wei had prepared quite a few modern self-defense weapons.
We can act according to the circumstances at that time.
"Alright then."
Gu Jianguo understood that if he didn't agree, Gu Wei definitely wouldn't do it.
At this moment, Li Guizhi and Gu Hongjie also woke up from the noise.
"What's wrong?"
"What happened?"
Gu Wei and the others then briefly explained the situation.
The mother and son immediately became nervous and worried.
Gu Hongjie even suggested that he should go along as well.
It's impossible to get consent from them.
After making the arrangements, Gu Wei and Gu Jianguo went to the store.
The two prepared a number of tools that could be used as weapons.
For a time, no one could fall asleep.
They chatted idly, making small talk.
Gu Jianguo now treats Gu Wei like his own grandson, and is most concerned about his marriage.
"You're not getting any younger, haven't you ever thought about relationships?"
Gu Wei frankly admitted, "I've thought about it, but the key is that I haven't met the right person, and I don't want to settle."
Gu Jianguo agreed, saying, "It's right that we don't want to settle. Finding a wife is for a lifetime, so we have to be compatible, have our hearts in sync, and work together. Look at me and your great-grandmother, we're a perfect example."
Although we were poor and had a hard life before, we always had so much to talk about when we were together, and even eating coarse food made us feel sweet inside..."
Gu Wei listened intently to the words he had heard countless times before, his feelings were extremely complicated.
If Grandma hadn't passed away, the two of them would definitely have been able to grow old together in harmony.
I hope to change my fate.
Gu Wei was unaware that after Gu Jianguo spoke his mind, he was actually worried about him.
Seeing that Gu Wei was good-looking and could make money, many people came to them offering to introduce him to potential partners.
However, Gu Jianguo felt that girls of average means were not a good match for him.
Even if a girl with excellent qualities agrees, her family may not be happy about it.
It's because self-employed people are looked down upon.
The night grew deeper and deeper.
Two men riding bicycles appeared on the street.
They quickly approached the clothing store...
