Song Daming chuckled twice: "That's for sure."
"That settles it. Everyone has their little secrets."
Gu Wei continued, "Also, you know I'm busy with opening the shop. Before I was my own boss, I really didn't realize how many things there were to worry about, how many things were involved..."
Hearing Gu Wei say this, Song Daming's playful smile disappeared: "I should have come down to help you..."
"There's no such thing as a set rule. You should just focus on your job. Whether this business of mine will be profitable in the future is still unknown. What if I lose everything one day? And then it'll be hard to find a job. How am I supposed to face your Tongtong then?"
Gu Wei may have had some desire to have his good friend work with him before, but now that he has calmed down, that desire is gone.
Song Daming also understood that doing business was a mysterious thing; no one could say for sure whether you would make a profit or a loss.
But his gut feeling was that his good friend couldn't afford to lose money.
Unfortunately, he wasn't alone; he also had to consider his girlfriend.
"Should we tell the boss and the others about you opening a shop?"
"It's better not to say anything. It's enough that only you and Tongtong know." Gu Wei couldn't forget the shock, doubt, and worry that Song Daming and the others felt after they found out, and he didn't want to experience it again.
"good."
When they arrived at the airport, the second brother, Cao Zhengqi, got off the plane first.
Everyone was excited and happy after meeting.
They hugged each other and then patted each other's shoulders.
Gu Wei exclaimed in surprise, "Good heavens, how did you get so fat?"
Cao Zhengqi is 1.75 meters tall. He used to be very thin when he was in school, but now he has gained a lot of weight, as if he has been inflated. His eyes have also become much smaller.
Cao Zhengqi wiped away imaginary tears: "It's all so heartbreaking. My girlfriend has big eyes but a small belly. When we go out to eat, we order too much, and she can't finish it. Adhering to my principle of cherishing food and resolutely not wasting it, I can only eat it with tears in my eyes. And then, you saw it..."
"Stop showing off like that!" Song Daming gestured towards Gu Wei: "Didn't you see there's a single person in front of you?"
Cao Zhengqi raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Fourth brother, with your net worth, don't you have any girls throwing themselves at you? That shouldn't be the case. I remember there used to be tons of girls chasing after you."
Song Daming exaggeratedly said, "Of course there are. Just from what I know, there are his ex-girlfriends and girls who drive Porsches. There must be quite a few others behind the scenes that I don't know about."
Cao Zhengqi knew about Gu Wei's ex-girlfriend, Lu Xue, but he had never heard of the Porsche girl before.
"Am I pretty? Hurry up and give me some lessons, I've missed some."
Song Daming beamed: "It must be very beautiful. Let me tell you..."
Gu Wei interrupted Song Daming: "What nonsense are you talking about? That's my former colleague's sister."
Cao Zhengqi winked and asked, "Fourth brother, don't you really have any ideas?"
"No." Gu Wei was telling the truth. He did long for love, but he didn't feel any spark with Zhou Wenyi.
Cao Zhengqi and Song Daming exchanged a glance, both understanding that it seemed there was really no chance.
The three of them joked and laughed together, and time seemed to fly by.
The eldest brother, Chen Wu, has also landed.
Chen Wu is 1.87 meters tall and has a cheerful personality.
When the four met, they inevitably exchanged hugs and pleasantries.
Gu Wei first took them to the hotel he had booked in advance.
After putting their things away and settling in, the group went to eat.
When it came to choosing a restaurant, Gu Wei didn't make a hasty decision but listened to everyone's opinions and finally chose a high-end seafood restaurant.
After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,
Gu Wei's alcohol tolerance is usually average, but perhaps because he's in a good mood today, he's not very drunk yet.
Chen Wu, whose face was flushed from drinking, said earnestly, "Fourth brother, listen to my advice. Even if you win the lottery, you can't stop working and not find a way to make a living."
He used to take good care of Gu Wei, the youngest in the dormitory with the most difficult background.
Now that the fourth brother's luck has finally turned around, I am genuinely happy for him.
But when he saw Gu Wei driving a luxury car and exuding confidence from the inside out, he couldn't help but feel a sense of disparity.
I originally thought he would be the most successful in the dormitory after graduation, but it turns out he has fallen behind.
Gu Wei knew that his boss was a good person, but a bit preachy, so he said ambiguously, "I will definitely find something to do, otherwise it will be boring to stay here for too long."
Seeing that Gu Wei seemed to have taken it to heart, Chen Wu felt much more at ease and continued to persuade him, "That's right. I was really afraid that you would become arrogant after suddenly having money and ruin your whole life."
Gu Wei moved his lips as if to speak, but Cao Zhengqi interrupted him: "Boss, we working-class people who live a miserable life on a salary shouldn't worry about other people's carefree lives of financial freedom. Come on, let's drink, let's drink."
Fearing he might accidentally blurt something out, Song Daming also picked up his wine glass and chimed in, "Yes, let's drink."
Chen Wu avoided their cups, frowned, and said, "Honest advice is hard to hear but beneficial. As true friends, there are some things that should be said. I'm not trying to criticize you, but third brother, fourth brother is the only one left in his family, and he's the closest to you in Qingcheng."
He took out a loan to buy a car, why didn't you try to persuade him otherwise? Buying a decent one would have been fine, why buy something so expensive? With that money, he could have taken out a loan to buy a house!
Song Daming felt extremely wronged.
Little did he know that Gu Wei would buy a luxury car without saying a word!
Gu Wei climbed onto Song Daming's shoulder and patted him twice to comfort him, before turning to Chen Wu and saying, "Boss, you've misunderstood Daming. He only found out about my car purchase later. Besides, I don't even have a girlfriend, so why am I in such a hurry to buy a house? It would just mean taking on a loan, which would be a lot of pressure."
“But houses can appreciate in value, while cars depreciate as soon as you buy them! You can’t possibly stay single and unmarried forever, can you?” Chen Wu felt he was increasingly unable to understand Lao Si.
Gu Wei said with a smile, "We'll talk about the future later. Let's live for today and enjoy ourselves. Come on, we've finally managed to get together, let's have a drink."
Song Daming immediately responded enthusiastically: "Yes, it's not easy for us to get together like this, cheers!"
Cao Zhengqi and Chen Wu also clinked glasses and downed a glass of liquor.
Opinions on this matter differ.
To avoid escalating the argument and affecting the harmony, the topic was dropped.
After they had finished their meal and were about to head to their next project, they ran into an acquaintance at the restaurant entrance.
Zhong Xiang hasn't been in contact with Gu Wei since that day when he bought the tiger penis wine.
Neither of them expected to run into each other.
Zhong Xiang immediately said warmly, "Brother, we two are really destined to be together."
Gu Wei glanced at the people around Zhong Xiang and nodded with a smile: "Yes, Brother Zhong."
Gu Wei didn't want anyone to know that he had sold wild ginseng to Zhongxiang.
Zhong Xiang also didn't want his peers to know the situation and then poach his employees.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two parted ways.
Later, when Song Daming and the others asked curiously, Gu Wei brushed it off with a few words.
