Chapter 238 If you come here again, I’ll call the police [Please vote for me]

“Eh? Suo Zhao, why are you here?” Officer Wang turned innocent and looked at Zhao Guozhi suspiciously.

“Where would I be if I wasn’t here?” Zhao Guozhi also stared at Officer Wang angrily and said, “Shouldn’t this old guy like me be here?”

“Zhao Suo has a lot to do every day, and he has to come to the information room without taking a break at noon. Our Furong Police Station is blessed to have a good leader like you for eight lifetimes. Zhao Suo, please sit down first, and I will get you a glass of water.”

Officer Wang was full of desire to survive and got up to pour water.

Zhao Guozhi also waved his hands angrily and said, “Don’t mess with these useless things. If you have time, learn more from Gu Chen. These flattering things won’t work here.”

Gu Chen also smiled and said: “Suo Zhao, Senior Brother Wang and I are sorting out the information files. Do you have any instructions?”

“No, I’m just passing by to take a look. If I have nothing to do, I’ll leave first.” Zhao Guozhi just stepped out of the data room, but turned around again and said: “By the way, you can take a break during non-working hours at noon. The data will be compiled today. If it’s not finished, then tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow will do.”

“Understood.” Gu Chen immediately understood Zhao Guozhi’s good intentions.

Organizing the information could originally be completed in a day and a half, but Zhao Guozhi gave Gu Chen a few days because he wanted Gu Chen to have more learning opportunities during the organization process.

Watching Zhao Guozhi leave, Officer Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Gu Chen, you already knew where Zhao was outside the door, right?”

“I know.” Gu Chen said.

“Then why didn’t you tell me?”

“I blinked to give you a hint, but it’s a pity that you didn’t notice it yourself.”

Officer Wang: “…”

“Forget it, forget it, I won’t argue with you.” Officer Wang sat on the stool with a straight face, suddenly remembered something, and said: “By the way, the Wuming Restaurant in the old street will be renovated tomorrow, so why don’t we go there another day?” Today, Lu Weiwei, I, Lao Ding, Lao Li, and some old comrades from the third group have discussed that we will have a dinner there tonight, AA system, will you go?”

“Uncle Lei’s restaurant needs to be renovated?” Gu Chen was also stunned for a moment and said, “Then I have to go. I guess I won’t be able to taste Uncle Lei’s craftsmanship for a long time.”

“Then it’s settled. After get off work, we’ll gather in the third group and go together.”

“No problem.” Gu Chen answered cheerfully.

Recently, news has spread like wildfire that many new branch offices in Jiangnan City are about to be opened.

Therefore, throughout the city, many new and old comrades from police stations have begun to use their off-duty time to have dinner parties to enhance their working friendships.

Everyone knows.

After the establishment of new branches and new police stations, many people’s jobs will also begin to be reclassified and adjusted.

The friendship between young police officers and old comrades is an existence that is difficult to break up.

Young police officers are keen to have dinner together, and old comrades will put aside their chores at home to join in.

It can be said that the business of major restaurants in Jiangnan City has been booming recently, and the police dinner has also helped increase their performance to a certain extent.

Gu Chen didn’t have much information to sort out today, so he quickly agreed.

Time passed quickly, and it was already time to get off work in a blink of an eye.

After get off work, the entire Furong Police Station police officers were also in groups, forming several small dinner groups.

Everyone gathered at different places, but they all went to the restaurant.

After sorting out the information, Gu Chen returned to the office of Group Three, where the old comrades who were going to have a dinner were already chatting and waiting.

In addition to the people appointed by Officer Wang, the other three groups also had their own small gatherings.

Like the three groups of trainee police officers, they chose to have dinner alone, and some had cross-department dinners.

Lots and lots of them.

Therefore, in the Furong Police Station compound, you can always see police officers in civilian clothes walking out of the gate in groups.

The taxi drivers outside the Furong Police Station seemed to have keenly grasped the business opportunities and began lining up at the intersection to get on the taxi.

“Old Wang, hurry up and stop dawdling.” Lu Weiwei followed Gu Chen and kept urging Officer Wang.

“I know, let me go to the toilet first.”

“It’s better to hold it in for now, otherwise there will be no more seats in the restaurant.”

“Okay, let’s go.”

Getting into the taxi driven by Liu Shui, many people drove towards their respective goals.

Gu Chen followed everyone to the old street.

At this moment, the flow of people in the old street is obviously more than before.

Many citizens walked out of the streets and started walking around the outskirts of the old street.

Many restaurants are also doing booming business.

Gu Chen touched his growling stomach and felt a little puzzled: “Uncle Lei’s store should be renovated in the summer. How much sales will be lost if it is renovated now?”

“I heard that Uncle Lei’s mother in the countryside was sick and he had to go take care of her for some time, so I handed it over to a friend’s decoration company to upgrade the store decoration.” Lu Weiwei was well aware of these gossips.

“That’s right.” Officer Wang also said: “I only found out by looking at the circle of friends, so I called you all together. Let’s increase Zhang Lei’s sales while we have time.”

Gu Chen nodded, indicating that he understood.

Everyone got out of the car and rushed directly to the Wuming Restaurant.

Seeing that there was only one empty table left outside the door, Lu Weiwei quickened her pace and locked her target in advance.

“Eh? Lu Weiwei? Why are you here?” Wu Meixi at the next table was stunned for a moment and looked at Lu Weiwei curiously.

“Master Xi, are you here too?” Lu Weiwei was also surprised and curiously walked over to say hello.

“It’s not just us, Xiao Yang from the second team is also here.” Wu Meixi raised her chin. Xiao Yang in the store was greeting him with a group of old comrades.

“It seems that everyone has seen Zhang Lei’s circle of friends.” Officer Wang was not surprised at all and went up to say hello to a few people.

A small shop, three criminal investigation teams, and nearly twenty people gathered here for dinner.

The whole store suddenly became lively.

The boss Zhang Lei greeted everyone while busy going to the kitchen to cook.

The only aunt serving food in the store was also in a hurry.

The bustling old street is now crowded with people, and the popularity of Wuming Restaurant is obviously more lively than other restaurants.

The people who dine here are not that particular. Many people wear slippers, and this is the case in the streets and alleys.

Some of them just got off work and didn’t have time to eat, so they had a simple dinner here.

There are also some people who come specially for dinner. These people are often in groups of seven or eight, and there is at least a box of beer around.

In the noisy streets, diners chatted and discussed their families’ shortcomings.

Zhang Lei picked up the iron pot, poured the food into several plates, and signaled the dish aunt to serve it to several tables of guests.

Now Zhang Lei basically cooks on the basis of three portions and is very busy.

Compared with other owners of the restaurant next door, as a descendant of the imperial chef, Zhang Lei’s cooking skills are obviously superior.

Fortunately, Lu Weiwei got a seat early. If she had come a little later, she would probably have to move to another place.

“Uncle Lei’s cooking is getting more and more heavy.” Lu Weiwei, who often visits Wuming Restaurant with her best friends, obviously found something different today.

“Last time I came to eat, there didn’t seem to be so many dishes, but this time Zhang Lei used a big pot to cook, so it’s understandable that the portions were large.” Officer Wang, a senior diner, also had a different understanding of the sudden increase in the portions of the dishes. .

“Isn’t it going to be renovated tomorrow? Uncle Lei probably fired up the remaining dishes until they are finished.”

Gu Chen also discovered that there were very few dishes in the fresh-keeping cabinet where Zhang Lei kept his dishes.

“Uncle Lei’s most classic dish is the stir-fried beef, which is unique. The portions of his dishes are generous and the prices are the same as other restaurants.”

Lu Weiwei, who has become a senior diner here, couldn’t help but share her dining experience with Master Xi and Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang took a sip of water and said with a mysterious smile: “We came here to eat because Lao Wang introduced us. In the past, it was really not easy to find a suitable restaurant. If we weren’t busy with work, we would have dinner together.” Basically I will choose.”

“That’s not because it’s delicious.” Officer Wang smiled with a sense of accomplishment.

“Do you still need to say this? The boss is a mine-sweeping hero. We should take care of his business.” Xiao Yang disagreed and continued: “Besides, we old colleagues may have less time to have dinner together in the future. It’s not about eating one meal and skipping one meal.”

“It would be nice if Uncle Lei’s restaurant was closer to the police station, and ordering takeout would be convenient.” Gu Chen just thought about it, but was immediately rejected by Lu Weiwei.

“Junior brother Gu, how can this be done? Comrade Nie will be sad. Do you still want FL mustard?”

“Haha.” Everyone burst into laughter.

After Lu Weiwei said this, some diners who didn’t know why also turned around and took a few secret glances, feeling that it was very lively here.

“The food is here, the food is here.”

Zhang Lei saw that the aunt serving dishes was too busy, so he came out wearing an apron and placed several pots of vegetables on the dining table.

“Uncle Lei, how about I help you? You can’t do it alone.” Gu Chen said.

Zhang Lei immediately waved his hand and said: “Gu Chen, as for you, just sit here and eat and drink. Leave the cooking and washing to me. You’re so busy.”

“Auntie serving dishes must be very busy. We have so many people here at once. It’s her fault to wash and serve the dishes alone. It’s better for me and Gu Chen to help you.” Lu Weiwei rolled up her sleeves and was about to come. help.

“This…” Zhang Lei hesitated.

“Uncle Lei, we’re all on our own, don’t be so polite. I’m going to help auntie wash the dishes now, and you just cook.” Gu Chen didn’t pay too much attention to Zhang Lei and walked directly into the kitchen.

Lu Weiwei also patted Zhang Lei on the shoulder: “Uncle Lei, hurry up and cook.”

Zhang Lei also didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “This customer comes to eat, how can I ask the customer to help wash the vegetables? You two are really interesting.”

But thinking about the relationship between Gu Chen and himself, this kid has often come to the store to help out since elementary school, and now that Lu Weiwei is added to the list, he feels that he has made a profit.

The customer on the side turned his head and said: “Boss, how long will the food here be served? Can you hurry up?”

When he said this, Zhang Lei was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: “Please wait a moment, I’ll be here soon.”

7:30 pm.

Many previous diners had already checked out and left.

The aunt serving the dishes cleaned the table and refurbished a few more tables.

While the customers in the store were chatting and chatting, a customer suddenly slammed the table, startling the surrounding crowd.

“No… Isn’t it because I didn’t bring any money? The same goes for the next checkout. It’s not the first time I’ve come here to eat.”

“I’m sorry, sir, we run a small business here and we don’t accept credit.” The aunt serving the dishes also explained seriously.

But the man tugged on his collar and said disdainfully: “I eat on the old street, and no one says I can’t pay on credit. Ask Zhang Laizi from your shop to come over.”

Zhang Lei heard the noise and poked his head out of the kitchen. He frowned when he saw the man.

“Uncle Lei, do you need help?” Gu Chen put down the edamame, stood up, clapped his hands and asked.

“No, Gu Chen. This guy just drinks too much and likes to pay on credit. It’s okay. I’ll go talk to him.” Zhang Lei took off his scarf, picked up the rag next to him and wiped his hands, preparing to negotiate.

At this time, Lu Weiwei also stood up and stood side by side with Gu Chen, curiously watching what was going on in the restaurant.

“It turns out to be Brother Biao.” Zhang Lei limped up to a tough man and said with a smile, “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong?”

The aunt serving the dishes came to Zhang Lei’s side and whispered: “Boss, he wants to pay on credit again, but he hasn’t given the money for the first two times.”

“I understand, you go down first.” Zhang Lei also nodded to show that he understood.

The aunt serving the dishes looked at the man named Brother Biao with disdain and left a little unhappy.

“Brother Biao, is the food delicious?”

“It’s delicious. Your food is really good. It’s much better than other restaurants.” The man leaned on the seat, patted his beer belly, and looked comfortable after enjoying it.

“Do you want to pay the bill? You have spent a total of two hundred and eighteen yuan here. Do you think this is okay? I will help you erase the change. How about you give me two hundred?” Zhang Lei also controlled his emotions well and was polite. He said sternly.

“Brother Biao, I didn’t bring any money today.” The man continued to pat his beer belly and said, “Let’s get married next time.”

“Haha.” Zhang Lei chuckled twice and said: “You said the same thing the first two times. The total of the first two times was 500 yuan, and this time the total is 700 yuan. It is a small business and no credit is allowed. , please help Brother Biao.”

“Zhang Laizi, Brother Biao came to your restaurant to eat because he thinks highly of you. So what if I get a credit without bringing any money? It’s not like I won’t give it.” A man who came with A Biao suddenly felt unhappy and said: “Besides, Well, there are many stores in this old street that give Brother Biao credit. Although Brother Biao has a lot of credit, he always pays it back. “

“Yes.” Another man who was dining with Brother Biao immediately said, “It’s because we take care of your Zhang Zizi’s business that we come here to eat. It’s normal not to bring a wallet when you go out.”

“I can pay via mobile here.” Zhang Lei held an Alipay QR code and a WeChat QR code in front of several people.

A Biao was a little unhappy, with a strong smell of alcohol obviously on his face, and said: “Zhang Laizi, you really make me lose face in front of my brothers. I’ll tell you the truth.”

Seeing that Zhang Lei refused to accept this trick, A Biao also told the truth: “Our hotel owner has asked you to be the head chef time and time again, but you haven’t given me any face. You said that you, a descendant of the imperial chef, are hiding in a place like Old Street to run this place?” Is this a small restaurant interesting? You might as well work with our boss and you can make whatever you want.”

“Haha.” After Zhang Lei heard this, he couldn’t help but chuckle twice, and said: “So you are from Guixi Hotel. Let me tell you, why do you have trouble with me, a disabled person, time and time again? You want to hear the truth? Is it right?”

“That’s right, if you agree today, I will pay you for the meal right away. If I don’t have any money, I will lend it to you.” A Biao said so confidently that his nostrils almost turned upward.

“Guixi Hotel, yes, is quite large in scale, but you are shoddy with shoddy dishes and using cheap ingredients as expensive ingredients for a day or two. The most important thing in doing business is integrity, but with your kind of operation I forgive Zhang Lei for not accepting this concept.”

Zhang Lei also made it clear that he had no intention of agreeing.

Many people around were watching the confrontation between Zhang Lei and A Biao, which made the drunk A Biao very angry.

“Zhang Laizi, you said you are a disabled person, why can’t you get along with money?” A Biao also touched his short head and turned to glare at Zhang Lei: “A lame man, opening a small restaurant, has to pay for everything inside and outside.” If you do it yourself, you can work as the head chef at Guixi Hotel, and there are plenty of people to help you, so why bother with money.”

Seeing that Zhang Lei’s expression did not change, A Biao said again: “Yes, you, Zhang Lei, were once a soldier. You are quite righteous, but can justice be a living thing? Do you believe it or not? I will ask the landlord of the store to rent it to someone else tomorrow.” ?”

“It is natural to give money for meals. You are just making trouble.” Gu Chen, who was standing in the kitchen and couldn’t stand it, walked up to A Biao and said, “Also, Uncle Lei is a mine clearance hero and lost a leg for the country. , What qualifications do you people have to make irresponsible remarks here?”

“Hey!” A Biao was also annoyed by Gu Chen’s sudden appearance.

In addition to being drunk, he stood up angrily and said: “Where did you come from, brat? I can call him whatever I want? Isn’t he lame? Why did I call him Zhang Laizi?”

“That’s right, why did my elder brother call him a cripple? Do you understand freedom of speech?” Another man asked.

Lu Weiwei crossed her arms and came to Gu Chen’s side. She frowned and said, “You guys are the only ones who have the nerve to go out to eat? Why don’t you go back and look in the mirror to see what you are all about?”

“Hey, here comes another one? There are more people, right?” Another of A Biao’s companions also stood up at this moment.

Three against three.

The team headed by A Biao is obviously more arrogant.

Zhang Lei was also afraid that things would get serious, so he persuaded him: “Brother Biao, let’s each take a step back. You can settle today’s debt first. You can also pay the previous two debts next time. Do you think that’s okay?”

“No, I said that if I didn’t bring any money today, I didn’t bring any money.” A Biao glared, looked at the two followers beside him, and said, “They didn’t bring any money either.”

Lu Weiwei smiled and said, “That means there is no need to discuss it?”

“Little girl, when I, A Biao, was hanging out in the old street, I didn’t have you, right? There are three to three more people, and you still have a cripple, so you don’t have an advantage, right? So I advise you to stay away from it. Eat when you need to. Go home, go home.”

“That means it’s better if more people talk?” Gu Chen said angrily, and then looked at the door.

At this time, Officer Wang threw away his chopsticks and walked in directly with a group of three team members.

Xiao Yang also slapped the table and followed with the members of the second group.

Master Xi burped loudly, and the team members around him immediately understood and stood up one by one.

Suddenly, a strong man numbering in his twenties appeared and instantly surrounded A Biao and the other three in a corner.

A Biao said tremblingly: “What…what are you doing? Don’t come over here. If you do, I’ll call the police!”
