After leaving Zhong Xiang, Gu Wei went to the shop.
Jian Fei and Zhou Wenyi, who had been notified, had already arrived.
They were chatting while standing at the bottom of the steps.
After Gu Wei got out of the car, he noticed that Jian Fei was dressed in a simple and elegant business suit.
Zhou Wenyi's clothes clearly showed signs of careful coordination, and she also wore light makeup.
"President Gu."
"Hello, Mr. Gu."
Zhou Wenyi has not seen Gu Wei since she successfully interviewed and joined the company.
This was completely different from what she had imagined—that she could use her job to get to know the people she liked better.
Therefore, upon meeting him, she couldn't help but stare at Gu Wei, her eyes filled with an indescribable sorrow.
Unfortunately, Gu Wei didn't notice.
He was listening attentively to Jian Fei's report.
"Mr. Gu, we've recently recruited some staff for the front of house, and we also have some candidates for the head chef and other positions..."
Although Jianfei sends messages regularly, her boss is often busy with other things and doesn't reply very promptly.
Gu Wei knew that the taste of the food was crucial for running a restaurant.
Even if he could get his hands on ingredients from the 1980s, if the chef's skills weren't up to par, the quality would be greatly diminished.
The head of the kitchen is also very important.
"Let's schedule an interview with the kitchen supervisor candidate on Monday first, and we'll talk about the chefs after we can have them try the dishes."
"Yes, Mr. Gu."
Jianfei then reported on some further developments.
Suddenly, music started playing on her phone.
Gu Wei gestured for her to answer the phone first.
Zhou Wenyi pursed her lips, "Brother Gu..."
"Hmm?" Gu Wei asked her with his eyes, asking what was wrong.
Zhou Wenyi actually had a lot to say, but at most, the two of them were just colleagues, like sisters, in a superior-subordinate relationship. "I wanted to ask how the car is driving?"
"I'm fine. How about you?"
Gu Wei glanced at the white car next to him and sighed, "As expected of a girl, there are several brightly colored plush toys in the car."
Zhou Wenyi could only manage an awkward laugh: "Not bad either."
Seeing that she didn't seem to have anything in particular to say and was just chatting casually, Gu Wei quickly went inside the store to check on the situation.
The renovation was completed today. After the inspection, I need to hire a cleaning company to do the cleaning.
We also need to install cold storage facilities and add some equipment; there's a lot to do.
Gu Wei used to act on impulse, doing whatever he felt like.
Now that I've entered this industry, the more I learn, the more I realize that running a restaurant isn't easy. It's hard work and you might not even break even.
Fortunately, he has many ways to make money and doesn't expect to make a fortune from this private kitchen.
Even if I lose money, I can afford to lose it.
Moreover, he idles around all day and still makes a lot of money from time to time, so it's not bad to have a business to do on the surface.
Next, Gu Wei handed the matter over to Jian Fei, and then drove away.
Zhou Wenyi stared at the disappearing taillights of the car, biting her lip in frustration.
Jian Fei looked like she suddenly understood.
Unfortunately, in her eyes, the falling flowers were willing, but the flowing water was indifferent.
Gu Wei's next stop was the wholesale market.
The goods I ordered last time have already been sold quite a bit recently.
If we open for business, we'll definitely need to make up for some of the shortfall.
And some things can be added selectively.
Whether you're herding one sheep or two, it's all the same.
When Gu Wei returned to 84, he saw that it was still early, so he went to the city again.
At that time, Weiguo Electronics was at its peak, and Sharp, Sanyo and Pioneer tape recorders were hot commodities, costing four or five hundred yuan each.
Domestically produced ones also cost one or two hundred.
Gu Wei ultimately chose the Yanwu tape recorder from among several brands, including Haicheng, Chunlei, Hongdeng, and Yanwu.
There's a well-known advertising slogan: "Swallows dance, swallows dance, a song brings a piece of affection."
It has become a hit all over the country.
Besides listening to the radio and tapes, it can also record sound, fast forward, rewind, and speed up, making it a very comprehensive device.
Although he could find cassette tapes in modern times, some songs were too advanced and it was troublesome, so it was better to buy them in 1984.
So Gu Wei went to Xinhua Bookstore to buy cassette tapes again.
A genuine soundtrack costs six yuan here. Since he wasn't short of money, he bought twenty boxes.
I also bought five blank cassette tapes.
When Gu Wei returned home carrying a large bag, he saw three unfamiliar women picking out clothes in Banjia Ni, with Li Guizhi and Zhao Zhengying introducing them to the women.
He didn't go inside; he went straight into the courtyard through the main gate.
Gu Jianguo is using his carpentry skills to make a signboard for a clothing store.
Upon seeing Gu Wei, Gu Jianguo immediately put down his brush and excitedly whispered, "It really came true! We've already sold over twenty pieces of clothing, to neighbors and customers from the hair salon next door. I reckon these three who came in will buy a few more."
Gu Wei loved seeing his grandfather's beaming face and said with a smile, "Business will be even better after the store opens."
"Yes, it will definitely be better." Gu Jianguo now completely agreed with Gu Wei's words and was full of hope for the bright future.
At this moment, Gu Hongjie, who had gone to a more distant place to practice driving, returned home.
Seeing Gu Wei return, he immediately parked the car, wiped the sweat from his head and face with his tank top, and went to Gu Wei's side, where he found a bulging bag.
He stared curiously, wondering what good things were inside.
Without waiting for Gu Hongjie to ask, Gu Wei opened the zipper and took out the newly bought tape recorder.
Gu Hongjie exclaimed with his mouth agape, "Wow! A tape recorder!"
Gu Jianguo couldn't help but ask, "Newly bought? It must have cost a lot of money?"
Gu Wei nodded: "Yes, we'll keep it in the shop during the day and take it back to the back room at night."
Gu Jianguo immediately felt that this arrangement was quite good.
