Because of the prior promotion and opening specials, a lot of people came to the store.
Around 10 a.m., Zhong Xiang not only sent flower baskets and a huge treasure bowl ornament in advance, but also brought four friends to show their support.
"Brother, I didn't expect your shop to be so successful. I'm sure your business will flourish and your wealth will increase in the future."
"Thank you, Brother Zhong, I appreciate your kind words."
Gu Wei and Zhong Xiang kept their private dealings a secret, neither wanting others to know about them.
So, after a few simple pleasantries, Zhong Xiang and his group were led to a private room on the second floor by the waiter.
Gu Wei beckoned Jian Fei over and instructed her on how to deliver the food and waive the bill.
Afterwards, he looked around the lobby and, seeing that everything was in order, he went outside.
Gu Wei deliberately walked a little further away before stopping.
Turning around to look at the storefront sign, I let out a soft sigh.
Regardless of the process, the day has finally come for us to open for business.
As for how the business will turn out in the future, time will tell.
Anyway, even if he loses money, he can afford it.
This is a consequence of my impulsive decision to act on a whim.
Just as Gu Wei was pondering that renting a warehouse in the modern city wasn't enough, he also needed to find a place in the city near 84, Zhou Wenyi, dressed in a black business suit, came out of the store.
They headed straight for where Gu Wei was standing.
Gu Wei raised an eyebrow, and as she drew closer, asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Wenyi looked at Gu Wei, who had recently gotten a tan but seemed even more masculine and charming, with a complicated expression. "Brother Gu, there's something I want to tell you."
"What is it?" Gu Wei appeared calm on the surface, but many guesses were running through his mind.
"I...I lied to you."
Zhou Wenyi knew that the truth would eventually come out, and if she didn't take the initiative to confess, things would get really serious once Gu Wei and her brother, who were kept in the dark, contacted each other.
Moreover, she has recently developed a sense of crisis. Gu Wei travels around, and who knows if he is accompanied by a beautiful girl? She might as well take the opportunity to make things clear.
"You lied to me?" Gu Wei frowned and gestured for her to continue.
Zhou Wenyi pursed her lips. "Well, actually my brother doesn't know I work for you."
Gu Wei suddenly realized, "No wonder you were so nervous last time I asked your brother if he knew anyone at the advertising company... But why did you do that? Is it shameful to work for me?"
Zhou Wenyi excitedly denied it: "No! That's not true!"
Then, mustering up his courage, he said, "It's because... because I like you! I want to pursue you!"
Gu Wei was stunned.
Even after hearing Song Daming's analysis, and knowing that Zhou Wenyi seemed to like him.
He was truly taken aback by the sudden confession.
"Um... thank you for liking me, but I've always thought of you as a little sister."
Zhou Wenyi felt as if she had been doused with a bucket of ice-cold water, her whole body chilled to the bone.
Even though Gu Wei didn't say those words, she could guess from his reaction and expression.
But still unwilling to give up, she murmured, "Do I have absolutely no chance?"
Gu Wei didn't want to play games or keep the other person hanging, so he had to tell a lie: "I'm sorry, I already have someone in my heart."
Zhou Wenyi's tears fell like beads from a broken string.
If before it was just a feeling of coldness, now it's like my heart is being torn apart.
And there is also deep regret.
If he had confessed earlier, would he have had a chance? After all, Gu Wei didn't seem to have anyone he liked before.
"Hey, don't cry." Gu Wei panicked a little and hurriedly reached into his pocket for tissues.
Zhou Wenyi took the tissue, wiping her tears as she apologized, "I'm sorry, Brother Gu, I shouldn't have said that on your grand opening day..."
“It’s okay, you don’t need to apologize. You…” Gu Wei looked around and realized that many people had already noticed the two of them.
He had no choice but to take the person to his car first.
After a long period of comforting, Zhou Wenyi finally stopped crying.
Gu Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
He felt that the saying "women are made of water" was so true; they could cry on cue, as if a tap had been turned on.
Perhaps because Gu Wei had seen her embarrassing and awkward side, Zhou Wenyi became much more relaxed.
"Brother Gu, may I ask if I may? Does the person you like like you back?"
For some reason, Gu Wei suddenly saw a beautiful face in a yellow dress with rosy cheeks, and a pair of large, shy eyes looking at him.
"You should like it."
When Gu Wei said this, a hint of tenderness flashed in his deep eyes, and Zhou Wenyi could no longer deceive herself.
"Then... I wish you happiness."
Gu Wei doesn't even know the other person's name; he's probably a long way from happiness.
He suppressed his emotions and said thank you without changing his expression.
Then, he sincerely said, "You will also find your own happiness."
Zhou Wenyi's eyes were red from crying, and she couldn't recover for a while.
After consulting her, Gu Wei drove her home.
Gu Wei knew before that the two lived in the same neighborhood, but now he realized they were very close.
Zhou Wenyi even told Gu Wei directly that she moved here because of him.
Gu Wei felt very conflicted after hearing this.
When they returned to the hotel, they encountered Jian Fei and the others who were asking where Zhou Wenyi had gone. Gu Wei had no choice but to find a reasonable explanation for Zhou Wenyi's early absence from work.
Song Daming knew the most about the relationship between Gu Wei and Zhou Wenyi, and he had just inadvertently witnessed the two getting into the car.
