Before leaving, Hou Yongxian gave Lin Yu some instructions privately.
"The Lin family has been dealt with, so they shouldn't dare to cause you any more trouble. But there's always a chance of something going wrong. Once we leave, our return date is uncertain. Gu Wei and the Gu family are trustworthy people, and I've already spoken to him about it."
"Grandpa, don't worry. We'll help out at the shop during the day and rest when we get back at night. Even if those people try to cause trouble, I won't let them get away with it. Also, please be careful while you're away and take good care of yourselves."
Lin Yu was both afraid and respectful of Hou Yong. Now that they had finally become somewhat familiar, he suddenly had to leave. She felt reluctant and worried, but not so much afraid or hesitant.
Before their maternal grandfather appeared, the siblings grew up like weeds in the cracks of the earth.
What's more, I've now gotten to know Gu Wei and his family.
Hou Yongxian smiled with relief: "Good child, don't worry. We've weathered many storms, this little ripple is nothing. Grandpa is still thinking about making a comeback someday!"
...
The next day, Zhao Dajiang and Tang Jiamei arrived at the house early.
Also present were Zhao Zhengying and her husband, as well as Jin Hongda's younger brother, Jin Hongfei.
Last time, Jin Hongfei brought a lot of fish and shrimp to Gu Wei's family, and they ate for a long time. Gu Wei had a particularly deep impression of them.
After exchanging a few pleasantries...
Jin Hongda nervously asked, "Brother Gu, do you think my brother could help out at the shop? This kid isn't good at anything else, but he's a good fighter. He once took on three people at once with a bicycle chain and still won. He went to a wedding in a neighboring county with his buddies a couple of days ago to help out, and he just got back last night."
Otherwise, he would have brought this up earlier.
"A true master doesn't reveal their abilities."
Gu Wei looked Jin Hongfei up and down in surprise. He was not tall and was slightly thin.
However, when it comes to fighting, it's not about height or physique, but about brains and skills.
Jin Hongfei deeply respected and admired Gu Wei, and was grateful that he had given his brother and sister-in-law so many opportunities to make money. He chuckled somewhat sheepishly, "Brother Gu, I'm not some kind of saint, just ruthless and willing to go to any lengths. If you trust me, try me for two days, I definitely won't let you down!"
Gu Wei found this kid quite interesting, and since things had already gone this far, there was no reason for him to refuse.
"Okay, then come over tonight."
Jin Hongfei was overjoyed and said loudly, "Okay!"
Jin Hongda was overjoyed.
Finally, I managed to get a job opportunity for my younger brother as well.
When I get home, my parents will definitely be happy to hear the news.
None of them discussed the issue of salary, because they knew that Gu Wei was not someone who was short of money or work.
Afterwards, Gu Wei went with them to see those two places.
One is located near the train station, and the other is on the street near the shops.
After reading it, Gu Wei thought the latter was good.
The house isn't large, but it's in a better location; someone with a knack for business and daring has already opened a watch repair shop next door.
Several shops have also altered their doors and windows, suggesting that this area will likely be developed into a commercial street in the future.
Zhao Dajiang and his group trusted Gu Wei's judgment and naturally had no objections, so they immediately rented the house.
As the group was chatting at the door, a group of people came out from the alley next door.
Gu Wei glanced over casually and noticed that there were both men and women.
The waitress from the state-run restaurant, her sister, and the two college classmates were also among them.
When Qin Zhiman saw Gu Wei, her eyes lit up at first, but then she subconsciously clenched her fingers and lowered her head, not daring to look into his eyes, afraid of seeing something that would make her sad.
She still feels incredibly ashamed whenever she thinks about what happened at the photo studio yesterday.
I don't know what got into me, but I actually came up with such a stupid way to start a conversation.
Gu Wei saw Qin Zhiman's series of reactions and felt a little guilty.
After all, girls are easily embarrassed, and her face and ears turned red with shyness.
Looking back, there could have been a more appropriate way to handle it.
Of all these people, only Pang Wenjing knew about what happened yesterday. She moved closer to Qin Zhiman and deliberately talked about school as they walked, so as not to make her feel embarrassed or uncomfortable.
Xu Qiuyue had mixed feelings about Gu Wei, this self-employed individual. She bit her lower lip and joined the conversation.
Xu Qiuhe, however, stepped forward with a beaming smile and greeted Gu Wei, "Brother, what are you doing here?"
Gu Wei smiled and pointed to Zhao Dajiang and the others: "I came here with my uncle and the others to rent a house. Sister Xu, so you live around here."
"This isn't my home, it's my parents' home. Are you going to start a business here too?" Xu Qiuhe said, while secretly glancing at the people standing next to Gu Wei.
Gu Wei knew this woman knew many people, so he smiled and nodded, "Yes. I'm planning to open a tailor shop."
Xu Qiuhe clapped her hands: "The tailor shop is ready! It will be very convenient for those living nearby when it opens. Although we have our own sewing machine, it's fine for doing small odd jobs, but to make clothes, you need professionals. The state-owned one next to the store is too slow."
Although Zhao Dajiang and Tang Jiamei could only go to the state-run restaurant of the Forestry Bureau a few times a year.
However, Gu Wei had seen this tough waiter before, and he was surprised that Gu Wei was chatting with him so enthusiastically, which deepened his admiration for him.
After exchanging a few polite and straightforward words, Gu Wei casually asked, "Sister Xu, where are you headed?"
"My younger sister's college classmate is here. There's not much here except for the mountains. The weather is nice today, so I thought the whole family could go fishing and have a picnic in the river."
