Chapter Sixty-Five: Not Steaming Buns, But Fighting for Pride



Gu Wei was stunned for a moment.

I really didn't expect her to ask such a question.

However, I then remembered that in some big cities, there were places to rent cameras since the 1960s.

He owns a shop himself, so it's not surprising that people assume he's all about business.

"Sorry, I use it myself, I don't rent it out."

Qin Zhiman's cheeks and ears instantly turned red.

She lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye, and said very softly, "It's okay."

Pang Wenjing, standing to the side, was clearly taken aback by Qin Zhiman's brilliant move and was stunned.

Gu Wei hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to take the receipt and leave.

Because that era was very feudal and conservative, unlike the openness of modern times.

Cameras are large items, comparable to televisions.

Lending money rashly to someone you barely know, especially a young woman, could easily give others cause for gossip.

Pang Wenjing looked completely bewildered. "Manman, what's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly want to rent out your camera?"

"It was just a sudden idea of ​​mine, so don't ask anymore."

Qin Zhiman covered her feverish face with both hands.

Why did I have to act impulsively of all methods...?

I feel so stupid and ashamed!

...

Gu Wei found a place to return to the modern world.

Upon seeing Song Daming, whose eyes had dark circles and bloodshot veins, Gu Wei jokingly asked, "Were you so excited you didn't sleep all night?"

Song Daming paused for a moment, then chuckled as if it were true: "The highest position I've ever held in my life is class monitor. You've suddenly given me such an important task and promoted me to manager. How can I sleep at night?"

Gu Wei knew Song Daming too well, so she immediately stopped smiling and stared seriously into his eyes: "Is it because your Tongtong doesn't want you to work in my shop?"

Under Gu Wei's sharp gaze, Song Daming dared not lie any longer.

"Yes, a little... after all, I've never run a restaurant before."

Gu Wei understood Chu Sitong's thoughts; the restaurant hadn't opened yet, and no one knew whether business would be good or bad.

The cost of trial and error is too high for ordinary people; one wrong step could lead to a series of wrong steps.

"Then let's make the restaurant famous and show her."

Perhaps Gu Wei was too confident, because Song Daming was also infected by his emotions, "Absolutely! We'll fight for our pride, not just steamed buns!"

Gu Wei continued, "From now on, learn more, listen more, and observe more. I'm leaving the shop's affairs to you."

Song Daming knew this meant complete trust, but he still found it unbelievable. "Huh? And what about you?"

Gu Wei laughed and said, "Of course I'm going to be a hands-off boss and enjoy the colorful life. Don't you know? The life of the rich is just this simple, unpretentious, and boring."

Song Daming deliberately made an angry expression: "You're so rude..."

Gu Wei's expression turned serious. "Alright, enough joking. I'll take care of the ingredients for the shop. The opening date is a bit rushed, so we can only temporarily source from people who grow their own vegetables. Otherwise, without the taste of fresh vegetables, how can we live up to the name 'Taste of Memories'..."

Song Daming wholeheartedly agreed: "That's right, it must live up to its name."

He felt he had a heavy responsibility and absolutely could not let his good friend's restaurant be in danger of losing money.

Besides, if you do a good job, your girlfriend will be proven wrong.

When the two arrived at the store, Jian Fei was giving pre-job training to the newly recruited front-of-house staff.

Jianfei quickly reported and introduced the situation to her boss.

This was the first time Gu Wei had met these people.

After looking them over one by one, he nodded secretly.

He's tall and good-looking, and with his enthusiasm and friendliness, he's particularly suited for the service industry.

However, the turnover rate of restaurant staff is very high.

It remains to be seen how many of them will ultimately stay and become long-term employees.

This was the first time these young people had ever met their boss.

No one expected him to be so young and handsome.

Several girls even stared at Gu Wei with a shy and timid expression.

Because of his good looks, Gu Wei had experienced similar things countless times since childhood, and had long since become accustomed to it.

He frowned slightly, said a few words briefly, and then led Song Daming upstairs.

Jian Fei also gave instructions to the supervisor and followed closely behind.

When Zhou Wenyi and Zuo Taiqing saw Gu Wei arrive with a stranger, they were both surprised and put down what they were doing.

Gu Wei then gave a formal introduction to everyone.

Upon hearing that he was a good friend of the boss, Jian Fei and Zuo Taiqing became even more enthusiastic.

Zhou Wenyi was also tempted to get along with Song Daming.

Afterwards, Gu Wei invited a few people to go out for dinner together.

Since they planned to drink, the five of them took two taxis and headed straight for the Qingcheng Hotel.

Gu Wei and Song Daming sat together.

The other three were in the car behind.

Song Daming already knew the situation of several managers in the store.

Naturally, he also learned that Zhou Wenyi was the colleague's younger sister who drove a Porsche.

"What's going on? Didn't you say you had no feelings for your colleague's younger sister?"

Gu Wei turned his gaze away from the car window: "I really have no idea."

Song Daming stroked his chin lightly. "I believe that. But based on my observation, just because you don't have it doesn't mean that other girls don't."

Gu Wei raised an eyebrow and glanced at Song Daming: "Really?"

“Of course,” Song Daming said logically. “In such a short time, she subtly inquired about a lot of things about you. If it were just between an employee and her boss, would that be possible? Think about it carefully!”

Gu Wei fell into deep thought.

Even though Zhou Wenyi started working at the store, the two didn't actually have much contact.

Because he only came a few times, and each time he left after explaining things.

To say I didn't notice anything would be a lie.

But one of the three great illusions in life is assuming that the other person likes you, so he really didn't think much about it before.

After waiting for a long time without any response from Gu Wei, Song Daming became increasingly anxious.

"I think this girl is really great. She's beautiful and comes from a well-off family. If you find a girlfriend like her, you'll save at least ten years of hard work!"

Song Daming was unaware that Gu Wei had already bought a villa and two cars, had tens of millions in his account, and also possessed priceless antiques, wild ginseng, and other valuables.

Otherwise, I doubt I would think that way.

Gu Wei smiled and said firmly, "I still prefer to work hard on my own."

Song Daming felt sorry for his good friend; it was such a rare opportunity.

However, everyone has their own ambitions, and he can understand that.

The driver in front was a slightly overweight middle-aged man.

I secretly glanced at the handsome guy in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

I sighed to myself, realizing how ungrateful I was when I was young.

Many famous historical figures and big bosses didn't start their businesses with their wives.

Inside the luxuriously decorated private room, Gu Wei and his group were drinking and chatting animatedly.

Gu Wei noticed that, apart from him and Zhou Wenyi, everyone else seemed to have a high tolerance for alcohol, and were probably people who had been tested by alcohol.

This meal brought everyone closer and strengthened their bond.

After the meal, as they were leaving, they unexpectedly ran into an "acquaintance" in the hallway.
