Chapter Twenty: They're all thousand-year-old foxes, what are they playing at Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio?



Seeing Lu Xue speechless after being rebuked, Gu Wei sighed softly, "After all, we were in love once. Wouldn't it be better to leave each other with some dignity in the end?"

Lu Xue instantly broke down!

She cried out, "Oh no! Gu Wei, I regret breaking up with you! Really, I still love you!"

Gu Wei laughed sarcastically: "You just love my money, don't you! We're all cunning old foxes, what are we doing playing these ghost stories? You're not tired, but I am!"

He refused to talk to Lu Xue anymore, walked around her to the side of the road, and wanted to take a taxi to leave.

Lu Xue, however, was unwilling to give up and continued to pester him.

"Gu Wei! Listen to me..."

At that moment, a sleek red Porsche slowly drove up and stopped in front of Gu Wei.

"Brother Gu! Do you need a ride?"

While sitting in the car, Zhou Wenyi spoke to Gu Wei, but her gaze fell probingly on Lu Xue.

Gu Wei was slightly taken aback.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Wenyi was the one driving.

Her brother, Zhou Wenbo, drives a white Porsche.

So, does that mean each of them, brother and sister, owns a car?

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Gu Wei opened the car door and got in.

"You're too kind, Brother Gu."

Zhou Wenyi glanced discreetly at Lu Xue, whose face was filled with shock and dismay, before driving away.

Lu Xue stared intently at the stylish sports car as it merged into the flow of traffic.

Even after he disappeared from her sight, she was still in a daze.

When did Gu Wei meet the girl who drives a luxury car?

And she's so beautiful!

If she were an older woman, she could still deceive herself and guess that she hadn't won the lottery at all, and that Gu Wei had clearly been kept by a rich woman.

But now it's clearly not like that...

Inside the car.

After exchanging a few words with Zhou Wenyi, Gu Wei learned that she actually lived in the same neighborhood as him.

I couldn't help but exclaim how coincidental it was.

Zhou Wenyi bit her lip.

The wise ones refrained from asking the woman in white about her identity.

"Brother Gu, the other day at dinner, I overheard you and my brother talking about opening a private restaurant. Are you still short-staffed? What do you think of me?"

Gu Wei turned to look at Zhou Wenyi in surprise: "Even if we're short-staffed, it doesn't seem like it would be suitable for you."

"Why isn't it suitable? I studied hotel management in college and just graduated this year. I haven't found a job yet. The reason I moved out is because my mom keeps nagging me..."

Zhou Wenyi silently apologized to her mother in her heart.

"Brother Gu, please give me a job! I'm very capable and I'm not afraid of hardship or fatigue."

Gu Weizhen never expected that Zhou Wenyi was studying this, and that even though her family was so wealthy, her parents still valued work so much.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Alright. But let me make this clear first: although your brother and I are friends, we can't mix business with personal matters. I'll give you the phone number of the manager in charge of the recruitment interviews. As for whether you succeed in the interview, that's up to you."

Zhou Wenyi smiled broadly and nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, Brother Gu, no, President Gu, I will definitely pass the interview and won't let you down!"

Gu Wei was quite pleased with the little girl's cleverness.

Whether he can do a good job in the future remains to be seen.

As the car entered the underground parking garage, Gu Wei's phone kept beeping with notifications.

He saw that it was a series of voice messages from Song Daming, but he didn't rush to open them.

After getting off the bus, Gu Wei thanked Zhou Wenyi again and waved goodbye.

Zhou Wenyi lingered, watching Gu Wei's tall and imposing figure enter the elevator before finally turning her gaze away and letting out a small, joyful cheer.

However, thinking of the woman in white who was probably Gu Wei's ex-girlfriend, she couldn't quite laugh anymore.

Having lived for over twenty years, this was the first time she had fallen in love with someone. She didn't mind that he had had girlfriends before, but she wanted to be his last woman.

Inside the ever-ascending elevator, Gu Wei was listening to Song Daming's voice messages one by one.

"Hehe, Lu Xue called my Tongtong crying, and I heard the whole thing! Dude, that was great, you really slapped her in the face!"

"Who's that rich girl driving the Porsche? You've got a fling and you didn't even tell me. That's not very nice of you."

"I heard she's very pretty. When did you two meet? What stage are you at?"

"When can you bring him to meet us?"

Gu Wei only replied to him after he got home and entered the house.

"It's not what you think. She's my former colleague's sister, and we'll have a chance to meet her in the future."

Gu Wei then called Jian Fei and gave her some instructions.

After hearing about the relationship between the two, Jian Fei understood the situation and quickly reported the current work progress to him.

Gu Wei was fairly satisfied after hearing this.

He was also aware of the difficulties in recruiting waiters and the high turnover rate in the catering industry.

Anyway, there's still some time before it opens, so there's no rush.

...

Zhou Family Villa.

Zhou's parents were in the living room, one watching TV and the other scrolling through short videos.

Everyone looked at their daughter, who had returned, with strange expressions.

Zhou's mother put down the remote control and asked, "Why are you back again?"

Mr. Zhou also shifted his attention from his phone screen to his daughter, asking kindly, "Have you decided to stay home again tonight?"

As Zhou Wenyi changed her shoes, she said with a smile, "I don't live at home. I came back to pick up some things, and I'll leave as soon as I get them."

Zhou's mother laughed and said, "You child, when will you ever get rid of this forgetful habit? You ran off in such a hurry before you even finished your meal. I knew you were bound to leave something behind."

Zhou Wenyi had seen Gu Wei's post on WeChat Moments and was eager to go back to try and bump into him, but only she knew the truth.

"Mom, you've guessed wrong this time. I'm back to pick up my graduation certificate and something; I have a job interview tomorrow."

After Zhou Wenyi finished speaking, she wanted to go upstairs, but her mother stopped her.

"What kind of job are you going to? Our family doesn't need your salary."

The easygoing and portly Mr. Zhou chimed in, "That's right, daughter. If you want something to do, I can invest in opening a shop for you."

Zhou Wenyi quickly came up with her prepared explanation: "Dad, Mom, investing is risky, and opening a shop requires caution. I'm just going to learn from others and gain some experience to prepare for the future. Besides, my brother is working, why didn't you object?"

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou were both amused and exasperated.

"Your brother goes to work to show off his wealth. Do you want to do that too?"

"Your brother's meager salary isn't even enough to cover his gas money."

Zhou Wenyi deliberately said, "I think about the same thing as him! If I don't work, who will I show my new clothes and bags to? Besides, when I'm busy at work, I don't have time to spend money, so it's a way of saving money."

When Zhou's mother realized that she couldn't reason with them, she had no choice but to inquire about the company she was interviewing with.

Zhou's father was also very concerned.

Zhou Wenyi dared not reveal the truth for the time being, fearing that her brother would find out and cause her to obstruct her, so she made up a workplace.

The couple had no doubts whatsoever.

After all, it's just an interview; whether I'll get the job is still uncertain.
