He couldn't wait to get out of the house.
The next day, Gu Wei left home, and as he walked down the street, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
Since we have no choice but to go, we might as well let nature take its course.
In short, those relatives who came up to us were simply looking to get something in return.
If only they had been a little nicer to their grandparents back then.
He doesn't mind giving something or an opportunity in return.
Unfortunately, there wasn't a single good person among them.
In addition, he always suspected that his grandmother's death might be related to his awful relatives.
After returning to the modern world, Gu Xiu tidied himself up and then booked a plane ticket.
Before leaving, Gu Wei went to a private restaurant.
Zhou Wenyi has returned to work.
The two happened to meet on the stairs.
Gu Wei noticed that Zhou Wenyi had lost even more weight, and her jawline was more defined, making her eyes appear even larger.
Its nose is also red, probably from blowing its nose too much.
Upon seeing Gu Wei, Zhou Wenyi's eyes lit up with surprise.
Then, realizing what was happening, he covered his mouth and nose somewhat embarrassedly and called out in a muffled voice, "Brother Gu."
First of all, Zhou Wenyi didn't want to pass on her cold to him.
I was also annoyed because my nose was not only red but also peeling because I had used up two packs of tissues.
She wanted to be at her best and most beautiful in front of the person she liked, but Gu Wei kept seeing her in a disheveled state.
Gu Wei was amused by Zhou Wenyi's series of little actions and asked with concern, "Is your cold getting better?"
Actually, he was a bit conflicted when Jian Fei told him that Zhou Wenyi's cold seemed quite serious and her voice was hoarse.
I want to ask what's going on, but I'm worried that this might make me seem like a jerk. He confessed his feelings to her and she didn't accept, but he's still flirting with her for no reason.
"It's much better, but not completely better yet. This is when it's most contagious. So, Brother Gu, please don't get too close to me, or you might get infected and it would be terrible."
After listening to her brother's suggestion, Zhou Wenyi hesitated for only a moment before deciding it was unreliable.
Because she knew that although Gu Wei seemed easy to talk to, he wasn't someone who could truly get close to her.
"It's okay, I have a strong immune system. But you don't need to rush to work."
Gu Wei deeply understands that a cold may seem like a minor illness, but it is prone to recurrence, and when you feel unwell, it is best to drink more water and then sleep and rest.
"If I don't go to work, I'll recover more slowly at home. It's better to go to work..."
Zhou Wenyi stopped halfway through her sentence, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart, as if her illness wasn't entirely a bad thing.
At least, she received attention and care from the person she loved.
Actually, she and Song Daming had a good relationship, and she had also subtly inquired about it. She found out that Gu Wei might have a girl he liked, but there hadn't been much progress yet. Now, she felt even more confident about their relationship.
Gu Wei had no idea what was going through Zhou Wenyi's little head.
He just came over to take a look and have a meal.
So, I quickly returned to my office.
Not long after, Song Daming heard the news coming up from the kitchen.
"Boss, it's been a few days since I've seen you."
"I'm the boss now, do you think I can let you see me every day? I'm not like Da Bao."
Both of them knew the advertising slogan and burst into laughter.
After that, without talking much about work, the conversation veered off-topic and I even shared a few short videos.
After finishing his meal, as he was leaving, Gu Wei brushed past a fierce-looking man outside the shop.
The other person had a hideous scar on their brow bone, and their skin was somewhat dark, with orange peel-like skin and acne marks.
They are probably customers who came to the restaurant to eat.
Gu Wei glanced at it casually and then looked away, striding towards the parking spot.
The scarred man stopped and stared at Gu Wei's retreating figure, a crooked smile playing on his lips, carrying a meaningful undertone.
...
Night falls.
A jewelry market in Licheng was bustling with activity.
A bustling crowd, a dazzling array of finished jade products and raw jade stones.
Shouts and bargaining filled the air.
Most vendors set up a small stall.
However, the goods sold at the stalls are not to be underestimated; some stones cost hundreds or thousands of dollars, while others are priced in the tens of thousands.
About half of the stone sellers in the market are from Mian Dian; their features are quite distinctive, and you can tell them at a glance.
Moreover, because they often interact with Chinese people, they can speak some Chinese.
However, it was very dark here, with not many lights.
There was only the light from many small flashlights.
People were looking at one stone after another, examining them closely.
Gu Wei was also holding a small flashlight specifically for jewelry, casually selecting items.
As soon as he entered the night market, he saw a sign that read, "One cut makes you poor, one cut makes you rich, one cut leads you to the road of the tycoon."
It is said that gambling on stones is like gambling with one's life.
If you win the bet, you become a millionaire overnight.
He gambled away everything, losing everything.
However, Gu Wei is not a gambler.
As for whether the price will rise or fall after the cut, I don't care.
Therefore, they only chose stones that were not expensive.
Moreover, the stone is not cut on the spot.
The next day, Gu Wei first went to the legendary inn.
Although it's called a hostel, it's no longer a place that provides accommodation in the traditional sense, but rather a market for transactions and buying and selling.
The hostel retains its original appearance from when it was first built in the 1990s.
It looks old and worn out.
However, locals say that the transfer fee for such a private room is over 50,000 yuan.
