Chapter 104 -104 He Overlooked One Thing
Xiao Cui knew why Bi Yuanhang had decided to move here. He had felt unwelcome at Su Meixi’s place and was worried he’d feel the same here.
She laughed and said, “Don’t worry, we only have a boss lady here, no husband.”
“The boss lady, she… isn’t married?”
“She was married, but… her husband was a martyr, he died a few years ago. She’s never really gotten over it, which is why she always stays in Wu Bian Town, and also why our place gets attention from the military.”
So that was why.
At that moment, Weina came in and saw Xiao Cui and Bi Yuanhang chatting. She casually asked, “What are you talking about? Surely not badmouthing me?”
...
Bi Yuanhang quickly responded, “No, no, just chatting casually.”
He glanced at Weina, feeling his cheeks slightly heating up.
…
Gu Wei wasn’t on duty that night, he called Su Meixi to his dormitory, but she was unwilling.
As soon as she entered the military family compound, she felt uneasy. Although she wasn’t a bad person, she just felt restrained, as she was someone who disliked being constrained.
So, Gu Wei had to come to her.
Su Meixi was very hospitable. To prepare a delicious meal, she made noodles with a noodle machine, meat sauce with a mincer, and used a small tool to shred cucumbers and carrots.
Whenever Gu Wei saw her cooking, he felt complicated.
If one talked about being elaborate, in the end, it all was just a bowl of mixed sauce noodles.
And there were tons of tools to wash.
But she reveled in it, considering it a labor of love, worth the fatigue.
However, all the small tools were slowly cleaned by Gu Wei by the faucet later.
He couldn’t let her get too tired, she might even have work to do later in the night.
After it got dark, the two lay in bed.
Since the bed had collapsed once before, they only dared to lie down, not daring to move.
Gu Wei was also restraining himself, not teasing her.
The wedding night needed a good beginning for it to be memorable. If it was terrible, he worried it could make her reluctant to do such things afterward.
After sleeping without any intimacy, Gu Wei remarked the next day, “The conditions here are too simple.”
“I couldn’t agree more,” Su Meixi also felt regretful.
Everyone had already opened up to each other, it just lacked a memorable wedding night.
Gu Wei then said, “I might have neglected something.”
“What is it?” Su Meixi sat up and then snuggled into his embrace.
Holding her close, he said, “I knew only to defend the border, but I neglected the physical infrastructure here.”
Su Meixi was still unclear about what he specifically meant, but he had already taken out his phone to call Gu Cheng.
The signal was good, so the call went through quickly.
Gu Cheng picked up soon, “What’s up? I’m in a meeting.”
Gu Wei got straight to business, “Brother, I want to invest in building a hospital in Wu Bian Town. Could you help me plan it?”
Su Meixi’s eyes widened.
Invest in a hospital?
But Gu Cheng agreed without hesitation, “Alright, leave it to me.”
Then the call ended.
Gu Wei put away his phone and looked down at Su Meixi’s astonished eyes.
Perhaps worrying she might object, he felt compelled to explain, “Being born into a wealthy family wasn’t my choice, but since I have the ability, I might as well do more for society.”
Su Meixi couldn’t help but smile. “I’m not blaming you.”
Since she had decided to be with him, she had to accept all aspects of him, including the fact that he was from a wealthy second-generation family.
As for her, maintaining her true self and spending her own money was sufficient.
Naturally, she might indirectly receive several benefits, like the vehicle approved from above, like Aunt Ma’s surgery.
As long as it was his sincerity, she would silently accept it.
“Gu Wei, I’m getting ready for work,” Su Meixi said.
Then she kissed him on the lips.
He reciprocated passionately.
…
Feng City.
After the meeting, Gu Cheng told Assistant Bai about the sponsorship for the hospital.
Assistant Bai immediately said, “Our group also has a branch there. I’ll contact them right away about the sponsorship.”
“How long will it take to build the hospital?” Gu Cheng asked.
Assistant Bai replied, “From application to project approval, to construction, to final use, it would take about six months if it’s fast.”
Gu Cheng frowned, “Could it be done in two months?”
Assistant Bai paused, then said, “It can be done!”

When the president demands, it must be done.
Assistant Bai added, “Mr. Gu, there’s also an investment conference this afternoon that you need to attend.”
“I know, I’ll be there,” Gu Cheng said.
…
The investment conference was held in a high-end hotel in Feng City, attended by investors from around the world.
Zhou Yuan also snuck in with Mr. Zhou.
Just thinking of meeting Gu Cheng later, she couldn’t contain her excitement, almost bursting at the seams.
Mr. Zhou looked at his daughter, who was infatuated, and said helplessly, “You know, you coming here is a waste of time. How could Mr. Gu ever fancy someone like you, a greenhorn?”
“I believe that sincere effort leads to success. Even if he is a stone, I can move him. Plus, I can tell Brother Cheng has a soft side within him.”
“Where did you see that?” Mr. Zhou couldn’t see it.
His impression of Gu Cheng was that of a cold, ruthless, office-automaton.
Zhou Yuan said, “You can tell by the way he treats his brother.”
Mr. Zhou continued to dampen his daughter’s spirits, “That’s his brother, of course, he’ll be nice to his brother, but it’ll be different with you. I’m afraid he wouldn’t even bother to reply to your messages.”
Zhou Yuan, not convinced, retorted, “Don’t believe me? Watch me send him a WeChat message; he will definitely reply.”
“Then send it,” Mr. Zhou challenged her.
Zhou Yuan first took a selfie, striking a cute and adorable warrior pose, then sent the photo to Gu Cheng:
Mr. Gu, I heard you are also coming today. What a coincidence, I’m also here.
After waiting ten minutes, Gu Cheng did not reply.
Mr. Zhou scoffed, “See, he doesn’t care to deal with you.”
Zhou Yuan retorted, “Well, Brother Cheng is busy, he’s a president. He definitely won’t reply so quickly. No worries, I need to tell him not to rush replying to my message, and to prioritize his work first.”
She then edited another message: Brother Cheng, if you’re busy, go ahead. I’m not in a rush.
After sending it, she realized she had been blocked again.
Mr. Zhou laughed loudly, drawing several onlookers’ attention their way.
