He Lijie seemed to have listened, at least he became silent and began to think.
When Gu Chen drove to the gate of a dilapidated residential area, he asked him for sure: "Mr. He, this is your home?"
"Yes, to be precise, I rented this house, mainly because it is cheap." When He Lijie said these words, he seemed to no longer care about face.
Mainly communicating with Gu Chen, He Lijie felt more comfortable than ever before.
At least in He Lijie's opinion, Gu Chen is trustworthy.
Gu Chen nodded silently, and also urged: "Go back quickly, don't let your family worry, there are no obstacles in life."
"Yes." He Lijie smiled slightly, then opened the door and left the police car.
Gu Chen didn't turn the car around until He Lijie disappeared at the intersection of the alley, and returned to the Furong branch.
...
...
The next day, the work of Furong Branch was as busy as usual.
Since Gu Chen assumed the position of acting deputy director of the Furong Branch, in addition to the work of the criminal investigation team, he also had to deal with many daily affairs of other departments.
In order to make Gu Chen adapt to this leadership role as soon as possible, Zhao Guozhi also gave a lot of guidance during his work.
Like going to a city bureau meeting, Zhao Guozhi would usually bring Gu Chen with him, and also let Gu Chen show his face in front of other leaders.
As for Gu Chen, following Zhao Guozhi to the City Bureau for a meeting was a different experience every time.
When I first joined the police, I was still a fledgling trainee policeman at that time, and I just sat behind Zhao Guozhi and expressed some personal opinions.
But now, Gu Chen can sit side by side with Zhao Guozhi and discuss issues with other seniors.
At first, this seemed unimaginable.
And because of Gu Chen's reputation, many department leaders began to be extra polite to Gu Chen.
The main reason is that Gu Chen is the youngest acting deputy director of the Furong branch ever.
Qin Gang intends to promote young police officers, especially young police officers with outstanding abilities like Gu Chen, which is actually an exceptional promotion.
This means that Gu Chen's future official career may have an unlimited future.
Now that I have a good relationship with you, Gu Chen, maybe I can get a good cooperation in work in the future.
Therefore, many leaders of the police station now not only flatter Qin Gang, but also sometimes chat with Gu Chen about work issues.
Why is it called work? Because Gu Chen only has work in his eyes, but if he talks about other topics, he can't communicate with Gu Chen normally.
Over time, leaders will naturally reach a tacit understanding.
"Okay, today's meeting ends here, I didn't prepare lunch for you here, everyone can go back."
In the meeting room, Qin Gang paused for a while with the documents in his hand, and also announced the end of the meeting.
Everyone stood up immediately, ready to go home.
Qin Gang's meeting is very interesting. The morning meeting usually ends in the early 11 o'clock, so that the problem of entertaining the leaders of these sub-bureaus for lunch can be saved.
Let these leaders go back to their respective homes to implement the spirit of the meeting.
In the afternoon, the meeting usually ends before five o'clock.
Therefore, there is no excuse for many leaders wanting to grab Qin Gang's wool.
But everyone has long been accustomed to the old leader's work habits and doesn't care about it.
It's just that some leaders have other matters in private, so they will find Qin Gang and go to Qin Gang's conference room to discuss issues.
Naturally, Gu Chen didn't have so many questions. He stuffed the information into his briefcase, glanced at Zhao Guozhi beside him, and said, "Zhao Bureau, let's go back."
"En." Zhao Guozhi didn't seem to be wasting time at the city bureau, so he turned around and prepared to go back to the Furong branch with Gu Chen.
At this time, Qin Gang, who was surrounded by Zhang Wenbin and several other bureau chiefs, also suddenly stopped Gu Chen and Zhao Guozhi: "Then what? Xiao Zhao, Gu Chen, wait a minute, follow me to the office."
Gu Chen and Zhao Guozhi looked at each other, not knowing why.
And Qin Gang had already left the conference room.
Helpless, Gu Chen had no choice but to follow Zhao Guozhi through the crowd to Qin Gang's office.
Along the way, Gu Chen has been receiving the blessings of other leaders. For the position of acting deputy director of the Furong Branch, Gu Chen created a precedent.
This is unprecedented in the Jiangnan Police Force, so it is normal for Gu Chen to receive more attention.
But there are also people who are dissatisfied, and Zhang Wenbin from the Xicheng branch is one of them.
For a small follower under Zhao Guozhi, a trainee police officer, he has now served as the acting deputy director of the Furong Branch in a short period of time.
The rapid promotion of this kind of position made Zhang Wenbin feel that his hard work of flattery and flattery for so many years was really in vain.
In the end, Gu Chen almost chased him to a level, which is hard for normal people to accept.
When they came to Qin Gang's office, Gu Chen and Zhao Guozhi sat down on the sofa, and Zhang Wenbin sat on the other side of the sofa.
At this moment, Qin Gang was making tea for several people.
Zhao Guozhi frowned, and asked Zhang Wenbin: "Old Zhang, what are you doing here? Is there anything important to report to Bureau Qin?"
"Hehe, it's nothing? It's just some work problems. I want to ask Bureau Qin for instructions."
Zhang Wenbin said with a smile on his face.
But Gu Chen and Zhao Guozhi had known for a long time that Zhang Wenbin would use various reasons to come to Qin Gang's office to talk about work every time after the leader's recall in the Municipal Bureau.
He said he was talking about work, but he actually wanted to get in touch with Qin Gang more. After all, Zhang Wenbin came out of the agency, and he was able to handle many people with sophistication.
But Qin Gang also has some headaches, but since this guy speaks nicely, he always gives you reasons you can't refuse.
As time goes by, just follow him.
"Have a cup of tea." While speaking, Qin Gang had already brewed tea and brought it to several people.
"Thank you Bureau Qin." Gu Chen thanked him first, followed by Zhao Guozhi.
When Zhang Wenbin received the cup of tea from Bureau Qin, Zhang Wenbin frowned, and said with a bitter face:
"Qin Bureau, your tea seems to be quite long?"
"Yeah, it was given by my niece last year. It has been kept in the corner of the office. I don't remember taking it out."
"Let me tell you, this tea box looks familiar." Zhang Wenbin was at a loss for words.
Hearing this, Zhao Guozhi also snorted and said, "This Qin Bureau's office is really your Zhang Wenbin's home. You are so impressed with the tea leaves in Qin Bureau's office last year."
"Bad, the main reason is that there are a lot of jobs that need to be discussed with Bureau Qin, so I am a regular visitor here." Zhang Wenbin used a panacea-style answer to perfunctory Zhao Guozhi, then turned to look at Qin Gang and said:
"Qin Bureau, your tea is mediocre. I have a box of high-quality tea at home. It was also brought back by my father-in-law when he was traveling. It feels very good. I will bring it to you when I come to the Municipal Bureau for a meeting another day."
"It was given to you by your father-in-law. You can keep it for yourself, as long as you have the heart." Qin Gang also smiled slightly, and sat back in his seat.
When Zhao Guozhi heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Then what? Zhang Wenbin, do you have anything else to report to Bureau Qin?"
"Uh!" Zhang Wenbin was taken aback, glanced at Qin Gang, and after thinking for a few seconds, he said again:
"Oh, it's the meeting just now. In fact, I have already made a summary of the issues discussed in the meeting, and I have also given some ideas and methods. I want Director Qin to help me refer to it."
As soon as Zhang Wenbin finished speaking, Qin Gang picked up the documents on the table, glanced at them, and said with a smile:
"It's not bad. It can be implemented according to these plans. I need to see the effect."
"Thank you, Bureau Qin. With Bureau Qin's wise guidance, our Xicheng branch will definitely implement the work in real terms, so as not to embarrass Bureau Qin."
"Haha, that's good. Now, do you have anything else to do?" Qin Gang continued to ask Zhang Wenbin while praising him.
Zhang Wenbin was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Zhao Guozhi and Gu Chen beside him, knowing that Qin Gang wanted to discuss something with them.
So what I said just now was an order to evict guests.
It has always been Zhang Wenbin's style to accept as soon as it is good.
So Zhang Wenbin quickly stood up, smiled at Qin Gang and said, "No, then I will implement these plans according to Bureau Qin's wishes."
"Okay, I'll wait to see your result." Qin Gang also said casually.
Afterwards, under Zhang Wenbin's compliments, everyone watched him leave.
At this moment, Zhao Guozhi approached Gu Chen and whispered, "Sometimes you have to learn from these characteristics of Zhang Wenbin."
Gu Chen's eyes lit up, knowing what Zhao Guozhi said was "sophisticated people", so he nodded in agreement.
Seeing Qin Gang put down his water glass, Zhao Guozhi asked, "Ju Qin, you left me here with Gu Chen, do you want to treat us to lunch?"
"Eh? Not to mention, Zhang Wenbin often stays in the cafeteria of our Municipal Bureau, sharing lunch and dinner with me, but you Lao Zhao and Gu Chen seem to have never eaten with me."
After thinking for a while, Qin Gang said again: "Well, I'll stay here for lunch at noon."
"Okay, it's just the work of the Furong branch, it may have to be delayed for some time." Zhao Guozhi also echoed when he heard this.
Gu Chen also said: "Qin Bureau, it would be as simple as having lunch to keep us here, right?"
"That's right." Qin Gang smiled slightly, looked at Gu Chen and said slowly:
"Gu Chen, when I mentioned you to the position of acting deputy director of the Furong branch, is there anything you don't feel comfortable with?"
"Not yet." Gu Chen shook his head and said truthfully, "After all, I used to work with other departments before, so everyone worked smoothly with each other."
"Now as the acting deputy director, all the seniors are very cooperative."
Glancing at Zhao Guozhi beside him, Gu Chen did not forget to praise his master, and then said:
"Ju Zhao, in particular, has taught me a lot. Of course, I still have many shortcomings. I need to keep improving and strive to improve myself."
"Haha." Hearing Gu Chen's modesty here, Qin Gang laughed dryly, and said involuntarily, "Gu Chen, letting you be the acting deputy director of the Furong branch is a test for you by the organization."
"Your ability is obvious to all. Our Jiangnan Police Force also needs young people like you, who are energetic, courageous, and capable."
"Do you know that during the period when you were promoted to the acting deputy director of the Furong Branch, the work style of the entire police force in Jiangnan City has changed a lot."
"Many police officers who are as young as you are more energetic when they work, and fewer and fewer people are lying down."
"Because it's you, Gu Chen, who let them see the possibility of their promotion, and you gave them hope."
Picking up the thermos cup and taking a sip of the tea, Qin Gang said again: "Now, you are the benchmark for young policemen in Jiangnan City, and many people will regard you as a role model because of this."
"The power of role models is infinite. Don't underestimate the role of role models. A good role model can bring them better work standards. You can continue to work hard. I will try to help you, the acting deputy director, become a full-time member as soon as possible. .”
"Yes, I will do my best." Listening to Qin Gang's words, Gu Chen knew that it was Qin Gang who encouraged him to stay here, so that he could know his current work status.
As soon as Gu Chen's voice fell, Zhao Guozhi on the side also smiled and said: "Qin Bureau, don't worry, Gu Chen's working ability and leadership in Furong branch are obvious to all."
"Not to mention anything else, even if there is something wrong with him at work, wouldn't he still be with me as a master?"
"I will train Gu Chen to be an excellent super policeman like you did when you took me back then, and live up to your expectations."
"Haha, what I want is your little Zhao's words." Seeing that Zhao Guozhi also started to express his opinion, Qin Gang shook his fingers to express his approval.
Zhao Guozhi is Qin Gang's favorite student, and Qin Gang fully trusts Zhao Guozhi.
Now, Gu Chen, brought out by Zhao Guozhi, has also begun to show more and more outstanding performances. This kind of inheritance between master and apprentice allows Qin Gang to see the infinite potential of the future super policeman of the Jiangnan City Police Force.
With his fingers crossed, Qin Gang also smiled and said, "I asked you to stay this time. In fact, it's not a big problem. I just want to know about Gu Chen's current work status."
"I want to see what thoughts and problems Gu Chen has in terms of work. After all, Gu Chen is the face of our Jiangnan police force."
"Not only the provincial department, but even many leaders in the ministry are paying attention to Gu Chen's growth."
"I hope Gu Chen can lead by example, and don't let the leaders above lower your expectations."
"Don't worry, Director Qin, I will do my best to do my job well." Seeing that he was missed by so many leaders, Gu Chen was still a little surprised.
Zhao Guozhi on the side smiled slightly, and said deliberately insinuating:
"Qin Bureau, anyone can verbal encouragement, can we give some practical encouragement?"
"Practical encouragement?" Qin Gang was puzzled, and asked Zhao Guozhi, "Xiao Zhao, what do you want?"
Zhao Guozhi just wanted to speak, but considering that Gu Chen's opening seemed to be more effective than himself, he threw the blame on Gu Chen and said:
"Gu Chen, tell me, it's the question I asked you before."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Guozhi winked at Gu Chen.
Gu Chen understood in an instant.
During the meeting, Qin Gang hadn't arrived in the conference room yet, and Zhang Wenbin didn't know where he got the news. He heard that his superiors had allocated some police equipment to the Jiangnan Police Force.
Many of them are newly equipped police cars.
As the number of police officers in the Furong branch is increasing, the existing equipment is very limited, which can no longer meet the current needs.
It also often happens that when police officers go out to handle cases, they scramble for the police car.
Therefore, in order to resolve conflicts, many police officers go out to handle cases in private cars, and come back to reimburse some fuel costs and vehicle damage costs.
But after all, it is sometimes difficult to settle this account.
So before the meeting, after hearing the gossip from Zhang Wenbin, Zhao Guozhi kept his eye on Gu Chen. If Qin Gang wanted to invite him after the meeting, he would definitely take this opportunity to make his appeal.
After all, anyone can shout slogans to encourage, and some practical encouragement is the most important thing.
Gu Chen grinned, also looked at Qin Gang, and said involuntarily, "Qin Bureau, the current number of police officers in our Furong branch is not directly proportional to the number of police vehicles. Look, can you allocate some new police vehicles for us? Relieve us. The problem of equipment tension.”
"Uh, this..."
Hearing what Gu Chen said, thinking about Gu Chen's new appointment, he must show everyone some new changes.
Distributing some new equipment to the Furong branch as a benefit is also a kind of support for Gu Chen's work.
After hesitating for a while, Qin Gang smiled and said, "Okay, it just so happens that the superior has sent a batch of new police cars to our city bureau, and I'll give you... drop one for you."
"Qin Bureau, there's only one car? It's going to be three anyway, and all three are just a relief." Seeing Qin Gang's stinginess, Zhao Guozhi immediately quit.
Qin Gang also turned on the miserable mode, and then the master and his disciples output a meal, and finally Qin Gang made a final decision:
"That's fine. Three cars are definitely not enough. After all, the number is limited, and they are all given to you in the Furong branch. Then the other branches will have to scream."
After a pause, Qin Gang stretched out two fingers: "Two, no more, this is all partiality to your Furong branch."
"Haha, okay, just two, no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat." Seeing that his "conspiracy" had succeeded, Zhao Guozhi felt elated, and immediately confirmed with Qin Gang:
"Then Bureau Qin, you have to approve a note for me so that I can go get the equipment."
"Okay, you Xiao Zhao, I really shouldn't have kept you for lunch. I haven't eaten this lunch yet. I paid for two cars first.
I lost a lot of money on this deal. "
Qin Gang was also joking, stood up, and found the folder of the approval note from the filing cabinet behind him.
After filling out the content on the equipment collection form, Qin Gang signed his name with a swipe of a pen at the leader's signature confirmation place below.
Then he took out the official seal and pressed it on the name, then took out the list and handed it to Zhao Guozhi:
"After lunch, find Kobayashi to pick it up."
"Alas! Thank you Bureau Qin, thank you Bureau Qin for your care for our Furong branch." Zhao Guozhi felt elated when he got the note.
For Zhao Guozhi, he has been honest and responsible for many years, and has always been conscientious, and many benefits and requirements will not be mentioned.
But now the big family of the Furong branch is growing and developing. In order to better complete the work, Zhao Guozhi sometimes pulls his face down and strives for the necessary benefits for the Furong branch.
Of course, when Qin Gang was not the leader, such things were not guaranteed.
But now, Qin Gang, who knows Zhao Guozhi best, has become the first brother of the police force. Qin Gang will give priority to making up for what he owes Zhao Guozhi for so many years.
Afterwards, everyone exchanged work items in the office.
Looking down at his watch, it was also lunch time, Qin Gang said: "Okay, come with me to the cafeteria and have a light meal."
"Okay." Hearing Qin Gang's remarks, Zhao Guozhi put the thick document in his hand on the coffee table, paused, and put it back in the briefcase.
Afterwards, Zhao Guozhi walked on Qin Gang's left and right sides, chatting and laughing together and heading towards the cafeteria.
Along the way, everyone looked at Zhao Guozhi and Gu Chen beside Qin Gang with envious eyes.
Liu Forensic and Gao Chuanfeng's team, who just walked out of the testing building of the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau, also saw this warm scene.
Gao Chuanfeng couldn't help pointing forward and said, "Master, isn't this Gu Chen?"
"This guy is now the deputy director of the Furong branch. Seeing how much Bureau Qin dotes on him, tsk tsk, if I can be valued by Bureau Qin and pay more attention to me, I will be very happy."
Hearing Gao Chuanfeng's remarks, Liu Fayi gave him a white look, and said in a bad mood: "There are still two me left between you and Gu Chen, let's talk about it when we reach my level."
"Master, master." The voice of Forensic Medicine Liu here fell, and another forensic assistant stepped forward and said, "What is Gu Chen's background? It is said that he is already the acting deputy director of the Furong Branch at a young age."
"You know, when he first turned from a trainee police officer to a third-level superintendent, Brother Gao was just a trainee forensic doctor, but now, Gu Chen is already the acting deputy director of the Furong Branch, and the promotion speed is too fast. almost?"
"Hurry up?" Forensic doctor Liu, who was walking on the way to the cafeteria, glanced at the forensic assistant beside him.
The forensic assistant nodded silently: "That's right? It's like riding a rocket. Everyone is guessing, what is the relationship between Gu Chen's boss?"
Just as the forensic assistant lowered his head to think, he bumped into Forensic Doctor Liu who had stopped in his tracks.
The trainee forensic doctor let out an "Aiyou" before quickly taking two steps back.
At this time, everyone realized that Liu Fayi's eyes were surprisingly frightening.
Seeing that everyone is discussing right and wrong here, Fayi Liu is also annoyed and said: "You said that each of you thinks about these things every day?"
"Why is Gu Chen able to achieve what he is today? That's because of Gu Chen's strength. He can soar to the sky just by relying on someone's relationship? Then you are too naive."
Seeing that several apprentices bowed their heads and said nothing at the moment, Fayi Liu circled around them, and then said:
"Remember, it depends on relationships? You may have a good platform, but your strength is not up to that level. Even if you are given the best platform, you will not be able to hold me back."
Seeing He Junchao who was standing aside and giggling at the moment, Liu Fayi said again: "When Gu Chen became a third-level superintendent, he was already my apprentice."
"And his ability at that time was already at the level of an entry-level forensic doctor."
"As far as this point is concerned, the level that you can reach, he, Gu Chen, has long been able to reach, but the level that Gu Chen can reach, you can't reach at all."
"This... is the difference between you and Gu Chen, do you understand?"
"understood."
It was also scolded by forensic doctor Liu for a while, and all the new forensic doctors under him trembled.
Many of them are new forensic doctors, so they naturally don't know much about Gu Chen.
Coupled with seeing Qin Gang and Gu Chen's close relationship, many people also had some strange thoughts.
Of course, this kind of thinking is also common in the police force.
After all, who doesn't have a few capable relatives?
In the police force, many people are even from a family of police officers, so it is understandable that everyone usually inquires about each other's family details after tea and dinner.
Municipal canteen.
Qin Gang seemed to be born with a strong aura. In addition, the so-called leadership dining area had been abolished by the Municipal Bureau long ago, so the leaders and ordinary police were actually sitting in the public dining area.
However, there are usually many empty seats in the dining area around Qin Gang.
Only some high-level leaders would sit beside Qin Gang and discuss matters.
Today, as it happened, many senior leaders of the Municipal Bureau were busy outside, so Qin Gang was only surrounded by Gu Chen and Zhao Guozhi.
Therefore, the atmosphere of eating is also very strange.
While everyone was eating, their eyes would look at Qin Gang from time to time.
Seeing that Qin Gang would take the dishes on his plate to Gu Chen from time to time, many policewomen started talking about it.
"Look, look, Bureau Qin has brought food for Gu Chen."
"Hey, Gu Chen is really Bureau Qin's darling. At such a young age, he is already the acting deputy director of the Furong Branch."
"Oh my god, the speed at which Gu Chen puts on the white shirt should be much earlier, right?"
"Whether he wears a white shirt or not, what does it matter to you? Anyway, he is not your husband."
"Hey, I really want to, but can people take a fancy to me?"
"Pfft! Stop dreaming about your spring and autumn dreams. There is still Lu Weiwei in the Furong sub-bureau. Let's talk about it after you can provoke her."
"Hehe, besides being a vase, what other skills does Lu Weiwei have? I don't think Gu Chen is such a vulgar person, is he? He shouldn't only look at a woman's appearance, right?"
"Haha, what you said seems to have a lot of connotations."
...
While many female policemen were teasing, they also let out "giggle" laughter from time to time.
After Gao Chuanfeng finished eating, he couldn't find a seat close to Fayi Liu. Looking around, he saw these little policewomen chatting, so he walked over and asked:
"By the way, can I sit here?"
"Gao Chuanfeng, are you familiar with Gu Chen?" one of the female police officers, the second-level superintendent, asked.
"Ah?" Gao Chuanfeng was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't react.
Another first-level superintendent, a policewoman, also gave two "tsk tsk", and then said, "I just want to ask you, are you familiar with Gu Chen over there who is eating with Bureau Qin?"
According to the policewoman's gaze, Gao Chuanfeng glanced at Gu Chen in the same direction, and then said excitedly:
"Gu Chen? That's an old acquaintance. It can be said that the technical department of our city bureau is also a place Gu Chen frequents."
"Really?" The first-level superintendent policewoman heard the words, and suddenly realized: "No wonder, when I saw Gu Chen a few times, I hurried to the inspection building of your technical department, and I was looking for you together? "
"That's right?"
"Sit down, sit down."
Before Gao Chuanfeng could speak here, the little policewomen immediately moved out a vacant seat for Gao Chuanfeng to sit down and talk.
Gao Chuanfeng was also a little overwhelmed by the sudden crowd.
Usually, I want to sit with these people, but they don't give me the chance at all.
When I mentioned that I was very familiar with Gu Chen, I became a sweet bun in an instant.
"Doctor Gao, what kind of person is Gu Chen?" A policewoman who had just become a third-rank superintendent asked.
Gao Chuanfeng was stunned, and immediately put down the dinner plate, pretending to be deep and said: "A... big straight man."
"If I have to add a few words in front of "big straight man", then I hope it is a steel straight man. "
"Pfft!" Hearing Gao Chuanfeng's ridicule, many police girls suppressed their laughter.
"No way? Gu Chen is a straight steel man?" Another policewoman did not believe this statement.
When Gao Chuanfeng heard the words, he couldn't help but say, "Don't believe me, let me tell you, Gu Chen..."
Here, Gao Chuanfeng had something to talk about with the policewomen about Gu Chen, and instantly became the prettiest kid in the crowd.
On the other side, Gu Chen sneezed several times in a row, but he couldn't control it.
Seeing this, Qin Gang asked curiously, "Gu Chen, do you have a cold?"
"No." Gu Chen wiped his nose and said inexplicably, "I suddenly felt like I couldn't help sneezing."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, he heard a burst of laughter from nearby.
Gu Chen turned his head and found that forensic doctor Gao Chuanfeng was chatting and laughing with a group of policewomen.
...
...
After having lunch at the Municipal Bureau, Gu Chen took the approval slip from Qin Gang and prepared to pick up the new police car.
Since Zhao Guozhi came in a police car, Zhao Guozhi returned first in the police car.
And Gu Chen needs to go to the fixed parking lot of the police station to complete the procedures for receiving the equipment.
Since these new police cars have just arrived in Jiangnan City, Gu Chen needs to take a taxi to the parking area, and then meet with the staff at the other end.
Since Qin Gang approved two police cars, Gu Chen had already contacted Police Officer Wang and asked him to drive over with Lu Weiwei and drive the car to the branch office.
Since it was noon and the staff were eating, Gu Chen had to wait patiently.
A staff member wearing a work vest also came over to greet Gu Chen: "Officer Gu, there is no problem with the formalities, you can drive the car away at any time."
"Oh, thank you, I'm waiting for my colleague." Gu Chen said.
"Okay, why don't you go in and sit down?" the staff member said.
Gu Chen waved his hand: "No, I'll just walk around casually."
"Okay, I have to go back to eat."
After a brief exchange of words with Gu Chen, the staff returned directly to their office area.
At this moment, Gu Chen found a man wearing a delivery man's costume who happened to be riding a battery scooter to deliver several deliveries to the work area.
Seeing that the back of the man looked familiar, Gu Chen took a few steps towards the work area.
When the delivery man walked out of the office in the work area, Gu Chen realized that this is Aqiang, the son of Uncle Hejiabada?
[In view of the general environment,
"Are you Aqiang? Aqiang from Hejiaba?" Gu Chen called casually.
Ah Qiang, who was wearing a helmet, was also taken aback suddenly, turned his head to look at Gu Chen behind him, and said with a confused expression: "You are..."
"I was the policeman who sent He Lijie to Uncle Da's house that night, do you remember me?"
Hearing what Gu Chen said, Ah Qiang was stunned for two seconds before suddenly realizing: "Oh, so it's you?"
"Are you still working?" Gu Chen said casually.
Ah Qiang nodded and smiled: "Yeah, after all, I have no skills, so I came here to deliver food. It happens that there are few orders at the moment, and this is also the last order."
After the words fell, Ah Qiang offered Gu Chen a cigarette, but after being politely rejected by Gu Chen, he lit it on his own, smoked the cigarette, and said casually:
"There are a lot of orders at noon and evening. It's strange to say, why don't we eat until the meal time? It would be nice to eat at the wrong peak, isn't it?"
Gu Chen nodded slightly, and said casually, "You seem quite sleepy."
"Isn't that right? I came out very early, so I don't dare to sleep too much. Some people can't sleep. I want to sleep but I don't have time. Go to sleep, it'll be fine."
"Really?" Gu Chen also smiled lightly, and said jokingly, "Then he runs takeaway for you, who gets the money?"
"Is there a need to ask?" Ah Qiang grinned and said calmly, "I gave him the opportunity to deliver food, so that he no longer suffers from insomnia."
"Isn't it only natural for him to give me the money he makes? Right?"
"Okay." Seeing Ah Qiang talking, it seemed that the anger towards He Lijie that night had disappeared, and Gu Chen asked again: "Then how much money can you earn from running around for a day?"
"This, it's hard to say." Ah Qiang looked up at the sky, thinking:
"When it's nine o'clock in the evening, I can probably earn more than 200 yuan, and when it's good, I can earn 300 yuan. After excluding expenses, I can save about 4,000 yuan a month."
"Then what is your biggest expense?" Gu Chen asked again.
Ah Qiang smiled: "The biggest expense? The biggest expense, of course, is the rent and food."
"If I can do it without sleeping or eating every day, then I can still have some left over. In the final analysis, I still blame myself for eating. I really shouldn't eat."
"Actually, I want to quit smoking and drinking, but I can't quit eating. I'm so worried."
"You really know how to joke." Gu Chen shook his head, and said slowly, "If you work so hard, the days to come will definitely get better and better."
"Yes." Ah Qiang nodded silently, and said involuntarily:
"I also always believe that hard work makes you rich. I'm not rich now, but I blame myself for being too lazy."
"I only run 15 hours a day. If I can run 24 hours a day, I'm sure I can make more money, right?"
"Who can work for 24 hours? Pay attention to rest more." Gu Chen shook his head and said.
Ah Qiang also smiled faintly: "A lot of people rely on us for food, but they dare not rest too much. If we take a break, many people may not be able to eat."
"Let the boss make more money, isn't that what we should do as workers?"
"How do you let the boss make more money? Why don't you let yourself make more money?" Gu Chen asked again.
Ah Qiang said: "Does it need to be said? Only when the boss makes money can he send it to us. If the boss can't make money, there will be no business, so we will be unemployed, right?"
...
