Gu Xiangwen did not directly tell Jun Ning's age, but just replied vaguely, "Our director is about the same age as us, so it's normal for him to get engaged now."

After saying that, Gu Xiangwen stood up and prepared to go back.

"Dad, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first. When I get paid, I'll come back to give you money for your retirement."

When Father Gu heard him say that he would give them pension money after receiving their salary, he immediately smiled and waved at him, "Then you should leave first if you have something to do. Don't leave too late. It's not safe."

The seventh brother, Gu Xiangrong, was the only one in the family who spoke up to persuade him to stay, "Third brother, you should stay at our house tonight. We can squeeze in together."

Gu Xiangwen thought about the small bed that could only accommodate one person. How could two grown men squeeze on it?

He smiled at Gu Xiangrong and said, "No need. I'm leaving now and will come back next time. Ah Rong, you should study hard."

Gu Xiangrong nodded vigorously, "Third brother, I will study hard."

"Okay! I believe you!"

Gu Xiangwen gave him a look of appreciation and encouragement before turning around and walking out the door.

Gu Xiangrong followed him out again, "Brother, I'll see you off."

"good."

The two brothers chatted and in the blink of an eye they reached the street corner.

Gu Xiangwen stopped and said to Gu Xiangrong with a smile, "Seventh brother, just send it here. You go back quickly. I'm leaving first."

Gu Xiangrong looked at his brother and said, "Third brother, I'll watch you go."

Gu Xiangwen pointed to a black car parked not far away that almost blended into the darkness, and said to him with a smile: "The driver from our office is here to pick me up."

Gu Xiangrong's eyes widened instantly. "Your office's driver came specially to pick you up? Third brother, you are awesome!"

In Gu Xiangrong's understanding, in this era, only senior officials had drivers to pick them up, but his third brother actually had a driver to pick him up.

Gu Xiangwen explained to him, "The treatment and benefits in our office are good. The car pick-up is also one of the benefits. It's not that your brother is too awesome."

Jun Ning overheard them talking about how their return home was always unhappy. When they wanted to come back at night, it was too late and there was no bus, so they could not go back to Yucheng Ancient Tower.

She said to Gu Xiangwen, Xiao Yanru and Luo Dali, "If you need anything in the future, just call us and ask Jun Er and Jun San to drive over to pick you up."

During this period, Jun Ning was busy with matters in Hong Kong City.

She handed over all the matters at the Yucheng Gulou Office to the three of them.

After Jun Ning came back from Gangcheng, she used her external mental power to check the inside and outside of the ancient building in Yucheng.

She also discovered that the three of them were really capable of getting things done.

Moreover, the three of them cooperated very well and had a clear division of labor, so their work efficiency was immediately apparent.

Regarding the expansion of the ancient building in Yucheng, Jun Ning asked Luo Dali to contact Song Xin, and he quickly got the approval document back.

After obtaining the approval for the additional construction, Jun Ningshuang asked Luo Dali to invite Gong Guohua and his construction team to come and build the house.

Now the construction of Yugcheng Ancient Tower has begun.

Because it is the Mid-Autumn Festival today, he gave the construction team members half a day off, allowing them to go back home to celebrate the festival and continue working tomorrow.

Jun Er, who was acting as a driver to pick up people, after picking up Gu Xiangwen, he turned around to pick up Xiao Yanru and Luo Dali.

The three people sat in the car, looked at each other, and then smiled bitterly.

Gu Xiangwen joked, "Are the three of us the same kind of people who are stranded in this world?"

Luo Dali held Xiao Yanru's hand and flaunted it towards Gu Xiangwen, "We are different from you. Even if our family doesn't care about us, it's enough for Yanru and I to care about each other."

Gu Xiangwen looked at their clasped hands in shock.

Then, he asked Luo Dali and Xiao Yanru with a smile, "You two are really amazing. When did you reveal the secret? You even hid it from me."

Luo Dali laughed and said, "We have only been in a relationship for two days. When we went home this time, we also told our family that we were going to get married."

Gu Xiangwen asked with concern: "What do your parents say?"

Luo Dali gave a bitter smile, "What else can I say? It's just that our family has no money, so we have to prepare it ourselves!"

Xiao Yanru also said: "My mother told me that it's good to get married, so that I won't become an old maid who can't get married. However, the dowry depends on how much the man gives. In short, she won't take my money, and I don't want her to pay for it. That's it."

Gu Xiangwen said pertinently: "In this era, it is considered good if parents do not marry off their daughters to make money."

Xiao Yanru smiled and said, "Our family is not rich, but we are not poor either. We still have some financial resources. It all depends on whether my mother is willing to give me a dowry. She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She may give me the cold shoulder now, but she may surprise me later. I can't say for sure."

Gu Xiangwen smiled and said to them, "Then I would like to congratulate the two lovers on finally getting married. Love each other well in the future, get married soon, and have a few children soon, then you will be complete."

Luo Dali and Xiao Yanru laughed and said in unison: "Thank you, Lao Gu."

Gu Xiangwen thought that Fu Jingwei and Jun Ning were getting engaged, and Luo Dali and Xiao Yanru were also preparing to get married.

They are two pairs of lovers, and good things come in pairs.

Now he is the only one left, all alone.

He suddenly felt a little pitiful.

Where is his other half? Luo Dali and Xiao Yanru saw Gu Xiangwen suddenly silent, and they also thought of the things that Gu Xiangwen was thinking about.

Xiao Yanru asked him with a smile, "Awen, do you want me to introduce you to someone?"

Gu Xiangwen shook his head firmly, "No, I believe more in fate. If it's mine, it will come one day. If it's not mine, I don't want a forced marriage."

Xiao Yanru sighed, "You would rather be alone than be with someone you don't like. Ah Wen, aren't you afraid that if you continue like this, you'll end up being single forever?"

Gu Xiangwen didn't care at all. "Even if I become an old bachelor, there's nothing wrong with that. In the future, I can eat enough and the whole family will not be hungry. There will be no pressure in life."

When Luo Dali heard him say that, he also laughed, "Awen, you are quite good at comforting yourself. Your thoughts are quite profound. Most people really can't think so openly like you."

Gu Xiangwen smiled faintly, with a hint of otherworldliness in his smile, "Everyone has the right to choose how to live. For me, how to live freely and happily is the most important thing."
