Gu Wei assumed it was someone from the shop.
However, Zhou Wenbo appeared with a rather unpleasant expression!
This unexpected situation surprised Gu Wei greatly.
Zhou Wenyi also hurriedly stood up in a panic: "Brother, you..."
Zhou Wenbo glanced at Zhou Wenyi with a complicated expression, then looked at Gu Wei and forced a smile, saying, "I saw your car downstairs, so you were probably here to eat too. Turns out it's your restaurant, Gu Wei. You're really not being fair, opening a restaurant without even telling me!"
Gu Wei raised an eyebrow slightly.
Zhou Wenyi hasn't told her brother yet!
"It's just an opening ceremony, I didn't tell anyone."
Seeing that Gu Wei showed no remorse, while his sister seemed on edge, Zhou Wenbo became extremely anxious: "When did you two...?"
Gu Wei was about to speak when Zhou Wenyi interrupted him, saying, "Brother, come out here, I have something to say to you!"
She deeply regretted not telling Zhou Wenbo in time, and worried that things would get worse, so she stepped forward, grabbed Zhou Wenbo's arm tightly, and forcefully pulled him outside.
Zhou Wenbo struggled angrily: "What can't be said here!"
Zhou Wenyi pleaded softly, "Brother, please give me some face." "President Gu, I'll take my brother with me first!"
"Okay." Gu Wei watched helplessly as the brother and sister left the office.
In the corridor, Jian Fei walked over with a waiter pushing a trolley.
She was slightly taken aback when she saw Zhou Wenyi walking with a plump, fair-skinned man, pulling and tugging at him.
Zhou Wenyi explained shyly, "Sister Jian, this is my brother."
Jian Fei nodded politely.
When Zhou Wenbo saw that she was a beautiful woman, he greeted her with a smile.
"Mr. Gu, your dishes are ready."
Gu Weizheng, with his hands in his pockets and looking out the window, snapped out of his reverie upon hearing this and said, "Okay, put it on the table."
Some of the dishes Gu Wei ordered had already been prepared in advance, so they were served very quickly.
Jianfei set the dishes out for the waiters and then, with practiced ease, withdrew.
Gu Wei looked at the four dishes and soup in front of him, a tempting combination of meat and vegetables, wiped his hands with a wet wipe, and began to eat...
On the other side, Zhou Wenyi only breathed a sigh of relief after getting Zhou Wenbo outside the store.
Zhou Wenbo shook his arm forcefully and walked towards his car without looking back.
Zhou Wenyi jogged to catch up, opened the car door, and nimbly sat in the passenger seat.
"Brother, don't be angry, let me explain."
Zhou Wenbo crossed his arms. "Fine, tell me. What's the situation now? Where are we? Tell me everything truthfully!"
Zhou Wenyi said dejectedly, "Our current relationship as boss and employee... I did confess my feelings to someone, but I was rejected!"
Zhou Wenbo stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "Huh? What gives him the right to refuse?"
Human psychology is just that strange.
He previously felt that his sister and Gu Wei were not a good match and that the two were not suitable for each other.
However, he is very angry now!
They felt that Gu Wei was blind to the value of a gem.
"Because he said he has someone in his heart." After saying it, Zhou Wenyi felt both sad and embarrassed. Even though she knew that he had someone he liked, she was still infatuated with him and unwilling to give up easily.
Seeing his sister like this, Zhou Wenbo felt a pang of heartache, but also a deep disappointment. "What's so great about this kid! He's just a bit handsome, that's no substitute for good looks! Besides, he already has someone he likes. You should quit your job right now!"
Zhou Wenyi's attitude was very firm: "No! If I quit, I'll never see him again, and I'll have no chance at all!"
Zhou Wenbo was so angry he almost smashed the steering wheel.
He took a deep breath: "Silly girl, you don't understand men at all! The more you pursue him, the less he cares. Listen to me, if you don't want to quit your job, take a leave of absence first, and give him some space..."
Zhou Wenyi hesitated, "Really?"
"Of course it's true!"
...
...
Gu Wei didn't stay in the shop for long; he left after finishing his meal.
In the afternoon, I visited some places to check out the market.
There's definitely not enough time to understand everything in such a short time.
Anyway, he's not in a hurry, let's take it one step at a time.
Before returning to 84, Gu Wei specially bought a lot of meat and ribs.
Now you can buy rice, flour, and cooking oil at negotiated prices, and they're not much more expensive than buying them with ration coupons.
But meat is still not easy to buy.
If you were to ask people from the 1980s what they most wanted to eat, meat would definitely be at the top of the list.
And it has to be that kind of fatty meat that's so juicy it practically drips with oil; I don't like meat that's too thin.
Seeing that Gu Wei had bought so many delicious things again, Gu Hongjie happily circled around him.
Three puppies were also running around at his trouser legs, joining in the fun.
After joking around for a while, Gu Wei smiled and grabbed Gu Hongjie's arm, "Alright, let Lin Hang go with you to invite Ke Yi over for dinner."
"Okay." Gu Hongjie readily agreed, then ran ahead.
Gu Jianguo had already set up a fire in the kitchen and was cutting a piece of pork belly into chunks on the cutting board.
Seeing Gu Wei enter the room, he asked in a low voice, "How much did that kid bring back?"
Gu Wei didn't hide anything and answered directly, "Fifty."
Gu Jianguo was astonished. "So many! Oh my, you have to go to the capital. The city has so many good things. This small place can't collect much even with all its efforts."
Gu Wei also deeply agreed: "Yes, the old items that Da Zi and the others found later were completely worthless when I went to see them. I made several wasted trips."
Gu Wei then tentatively asked, "Grandpa, what do you think about us moving there sometime in the future?"
A startling light flashed in Gu Jianguo's eyes. "Can we... move there? I've never dared to think about this before. I have thought about going on vacation, though, like visiting the Forbidden City or climbing the Great Wall."
Gu Wei saw his grandfather's longing and immediately understood. "The bolder the man, the greater the harvest. There's nothing we can't do, only things we can't imagine. Anything is possible."
When Gu Jianguo saw how confident Gu Wei was, he immediately misunderstood, thinking that Gu Wei believed his relationship with the female college student was definitely going to work out and that he would be living in Beijing in the future.
Although he, as the great-grandfather, might not be able to accompany them, he was still genuinely gratified and happy.
"Yes, yes, as long as you dare to think and act, anything is possible."
When Ke Yi arrived, Gu Jianguo had already stewed the braised pork and ribs separately in large pots.
The enticing aroma of meat filled his nostrils, causing Ke Yi to unconsciously swallow hard.
Gu Wei saw it but pretended not to, and sat with him at the doorway as usual, chatting.
Previously, the two were only focused on the transaction, and Gu Wei did not ask much about Hou Yongxian's situation.
Now that he has some free time, he wants to learn more.
Ke Yi had already been instructed by Hou Yongxian on how to deal with Gu Wei.
Therefore, except for things he couldn't talk about, he basically spoke freely and without reservation.
