Chapter Ninety-Seven



Before Gu Wei could even ask, Li Bin took the initiative to tell her the story.

It turned out that after robbing Li Bin, the two boys, feeling guilty, ran to a friend's house in a ravine in the mountains to hide.

I spent the 23.56 yuan I managed to grab.

The three watches, however, did not dare to make a move easily for the time being.

After two days, feeling that everything was calm and peaceful, the two thought that nothing had happened, so they quietly returned to the foot of the mountain.

As a result, they were caught by Li Bin's friends who were lying in wait near one of their homes.

Afterwards, in addition to being severely beaten, he also had to pay two hundred yuan in compensation.

After listening, Gu Wei felt that this approach was flawed and not very satisfying.

Li Bin wasn't entirely satisfied, but this was the only option given the current situation.

"...Brother Gu, my mom has hidden all my watches. She said she'll transfer them all to Lao Xu when he comes from the provincial capital. She absolutely forbids me from selling watches anymore! She only gave me two choices: either find a job or set up a stall in a greenhouse."

“Your accident really scared Aunt Li. I noticed her hands were trembling at the hospital that day.”

Gu Wei could understand Li's mother's actions; after all, making money was less important than her son's safety.

Moreover, Li Bin's mother wasn't very supportive of his previous business of reselling goods, but her attitude gradually changed later.

"I know. But to be honest, I don't really want to set up a stall in a greenhouse. It's not only physically exhausting, but it's also incredibly hot in the summer and freezing cold in the winter!"

Li Bin had his own ideas and principles, but unfortunately, he encountered an unexpected situation and was caught in a dilemma.

Gu Wei chuckled, "You can hire someone; you don't necessarily have to watch the stall yourself."

As Li Bin suddenly understood, he also blushed with embarrassment.

"Brother Gu, I think I've been knocked senseless; I just can't wrap my head around it. But selling clothes still doesn't make as much profit as selling watches..."

Gu Wei had no intention of mocking Li Bin. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Actually, of the basic necessities of life, clothing comes first. It may seem insignificant, but the profit margin is very high, and it's more sustainable than selling watches. I'm even planning to buy or rent a larger place in the city to open another clothing store."

Gu Wei had seriously considered his career development in the 84 area.

Before the 1990s, the main business was dealing in clothing, daily necessities, electronic products, etc.

Factories and similar businesses would not easily venture into such areas without sufficient strength and backing.

Otherwise, once the pig is grown up, whether it's butchered or slaughtered is beyond his control.

At best, they'll be doing odd jobs; at worst, they'll be eating in jail.

Li Bin hadn't expected the God of Wealth to have such a plan. His eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "Brother Gu, why should I bother setting up a stall in the greenhouse? I might as well work with you! Then I can resell some watches when I have free time, and I'll be able to explain it to my mother!"

Gu Wei still trusted Li Bin, and it was true that people were needed to set up the business.

"Sure, if you're willing, you can help manage it when it's opened."

"I do! Brother Gu, I really do!"

Li Bin had long coveted Zhao Zhengyuan and his group's relationship with the God of Wealth.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard I try, it always seems like I'm just one step short.

Now I finally have the chance to work with them.

Liang Weibing, who had been listening silently, couldn't help but volunteer when the two had finished their conversation: "Brother Gu, I happen to have relatives and know quite a few people in the city. Can you leave the finding of a place to me?"

Even if Li Bin wanted to, he wouldn't be able to travel around now.

If you can help me get it done, not only will my friend Curly get a lot of benefits, but I'll also get credit for it.

He looked at Gu Wei expectantly.

Isn't it good to have someone run errands for you?

How could Gu Wei possibly refuse?

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

Liang Weibing felt this was a test from the God of Wealth, and waved his hand, saying, "No trouble at all, Brother Gu, I'll come find you when I have some leads."

Gu Wei smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for your news."

Gu Wei originally intended for them to stay for dinner.

However, Li Bin's ribs haven't healed yet, so he can't sit for long periods of time.

The two quickly said goodbye and left.

Shortly after they left, Zhao Dajiang and his group arrived.

Jin's parents and Zhao Zhengyuan, who came from another forest farm, also came along.

They also brought some food in large and small bags.

Recently, Zhao Zhengyuan has traveled to many places and sold quite a few watches.

After Gu Wei put the money away, the two of them didn't rush to leave the room, but chatted together for a long time.

Since becoming a father, Zhao Zhengyuan has been working even harder to earn money, as if he's on steroids.

They desperately wanted to earn more money before their child was born, so they could buy a house down the mountain.

Then, they asked someone to transfer Yao Shulan's job to a school at the foot of the mountain.

Gu Wei listened patiently to Zhao Zhengyuan's plans one by one.

Knowing this, none of these things are difficult to achieve.

Moreover, infected by this positive and uplifting mood, he also began to yearn for a life of comfort and warmth with his wife and children.

After that, two tables were set up at home.

Everyone ate and drank to their hearts' content, and the lively gathering didn't end until very late.

I slept soundly through the night.

Gu Wei also had a beautiful dream.

He didn't wake up until the sun was high in the sky, and he lingered for a long time before slowly getting out of bed.

After finishing their meal, Gu Wei didn't see Gu Jianguo and didn't think much of it.

I thought Grandpa had gone shopping.

As a result, around noon, Gu Jianguo also bought a 14-inch Panda brand black and white television.

"Grandpa, why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

Gu Wei was speechless.
