The trendy guy sang a ballad, the old man listened attentively, the young man sang to the end, and the boss even moved a small wooden bench for the old man to sit aside and enjoy it.

Judging from the appearance, the old man is not here to dine, and he is serious about listening to the song.

The atmosphere around the food stalls suddenly became a little unusual because of the music.

With the collision of music and wine bottles, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

As soon as the dishes on Gu Chen's table were ready, Lu Weiwei asked the boss curiously: "This old man likes music?"

The boss turned his head and said with a smile: "What do you say about him? People used to sing dramas, and there are no villages around Jiangnan City that he hasn't been to, but now he is retired at home, and the people in the opera troupe have also been disbanded. ”

"After all, times are different. ”

"So, he used to be a singer too?" Mr. Liu said.

The boss smiled and nodded: "Almost, when this old man was young, he was a famous handsome student in the village, singing dramas, and that person was a corner." ”

"But as I said earlier, times are different, young people don't like theater, they like pop music. ”

Glancing at the trendy guy singing folk songs, the boss suddenly lowered his tone and said, "There are not many people who like folk songs, and folk songs are too wasteful." ”

"In that case, the two of them can be regarded as sympathetic to each other?" Looking at the trendy guy who sang folk songs and the opera old man sitting on the side, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but joke.

As the boss said, when the times eliminate you, you won't even say hello.

During the next meal, in order to send Liu Jiaju and Chen Huimei back to Hong Kong City, Gu Chen specially ordered a few Cantonese songs from the trendy guys.

But it's a pity that the trendy guy can't speak Cantonese, so he can only offer to be accompanied.

Therefore, Liu Jiaju, who is good at singing, and his partner Chen Huimei have taken the stage successively, and the two sang familiar Cantonese songs to everyone with the musical accompaniment of trendy guys.

As soon as the two Hong Kong City policemen sang, they immediately stirred up the surrounding atmosphere.

Every time it is sung to the brim, it will attract cheers from everyone.

The whole dinner also ended in a concordant and convivial atmosphere.

Liu Jiaju, who returned to the dining table, suddenly drank a glass of wine and patted Gu Chen on the shoulder excitedly: "Gu Chen, this time I came to your Furong Branch to exchange and study, it can be said that I have gained a lot of knowledge, and it is my honor to know you, the captain of the criminal investigation team." ”

"It's also an honor to meet you. Gu Chen felt it, Liu Jiaju was very excited tonight.

Especially after a hard week, it is rare for everyone to get together for dinner, which makes Liu Jiaju very relaxed.

He patted Officer Wang on the shoulder again and said teasingly: "Do you know? In Hong Kong City, we also like to come to the food stalls to eat, which has the taste of Temple Street." ”

"Coming here to eat, although there is no enjoyment of high-end restaurants, and even a little noisy, but this is the fireworks in the world, which is what a city should be, and to be honest, I like it here. ”

"Then don't you thank me? Lu Weiwei couldn't help but say as she ate the dishes.

Liu Jiaju suddenly raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Officer Lu, thank you for taking care of me and Chen Huimei during this time, next time you come to Hong Kong City, remember to contact me, I will definitely take you to eat the best food in Hong Kong City." ”

"That's settled, I'll make a note of it. Seeing Liu Jiaju being so polite, Lu Weiwei was also happy in her heart.

When you go to an unfamiliar area, the most important thing is to find a few local friends who will take you to eat the best food and visit the most interesting places.

Lu Weiwei admits that she is good at this, but she also enjoys it.

After the meal, everyone did not leave immediately, but took a group photo of many people at the table, with the street and diners as the background.

Everyone should record these important moments.

8 p.m.

Everyone basically finished their meal and sat at the table chatting.

And today's singers seem to be doing well, and many customers have some songs.

There are those who go up to sing by themselves, and there are those who let the trendy guys sing.

Gu Chen has been eating here for as long as he has been singing, and he basically hasn't stopped much.

Just when Gu Chen proposed that everyone leave, the trendy guy was also packing up his singing equipment.

Gu Chen saw that his face was full of spring breeze, and he also smiled teasingly: "Brother, tonight's business is good." ”

"It's okay, thanks to you, there are more people ordering songs tonight. The man packed up his gear and smiled.

Gu Chen asked again: "Are you professional or part-time?"

"Part-time. The man stroked his hair and grinned: "I am usually busy with work during the day, and I go out to sing with my friends at night, and earn a little more." ”

"Come out with friends?" Lu Weiwei heard this, looked left and right, pointed to the old man who was listening to the song just now, and said, "Are you talking about him?"

"Haha, of course not. Feeling that Lu Weiwei might have some misunderstanding, the man hurriedly explained: "My friend is singing on another street, usually we are one person on the same street, and when I go back, I take his motorcycle, and it just happens that the house where the two of us are renting is just opposite the door." ”

"That's lucky, the people who live on the other side of the door are people who like music. Liu Jiaju admires these singing artists more.

In my own opinion, this is literature and art.

Just as everyone was talking, a locomotive came from a distance, and a man with a helmet and a guitar on his back parked the locomotive directly in front of the singing man.

"Hao, have you packed up your things?" said the man on the bike.

"Almost. The man named Ah Hao directly carried the portable equipment in his hand, carrying the guitar on his back and preparing to step on the locomotive.

But at this moment, the motorcycle man suddenly took off his helmet and looked at Gu Chen in surprise: "Aren't you Gu Chen?"

"Ah Lin?" Gu Chen also instantly recognized the person, wasn't this his junior high school classmate Zhao Lin?

"I didn't expect to see you here. Gu Chen looked Zhao Lin up and down, and said with a light smile: "Yes, they have all become musicians." ”

"Bad, foolish. ”

When he met an old acquaintance here, Alin suddenly felt quite embarrassed.

Turning his head and glancing at the people around him, Zhao Lin asked again: "These are your colleagues?"

"That's right. ”

"Do you have time now?"

"What's wrong?"

"There's something going on with you. Alin also had a strange expression.

Gu Chen glanced at the people behind him, then took out his car key, handed it to Officer Wang, and said, "Senior Brother Wang, why don't you go back first and take good care of Liu Jiaju and Chen Huimei, I met an old classmate here, and I'm going to go back later." ”

"Okay. Officer Wang, who knew the situation, took the key and said to the people around him: "Let's go, let's go back first." ”

I saw a group of people either driving or taking a taxi, and left the food stalls one after another.

Ah Lin also glanced at his friend Ah Hao, stepped off the locomotive directly, threw the helmet to Ah Hao and said, "You can help me drive back first." ”

"What about you?" Hao asked.

Ah Lin smiled, pointed to Gu Chen beside him and said, "Don't you see my old classmate here?" I'll talk to him about something, and you go back first." ”

"Oh well. Seeing that Alin was going to get together with his old classmates, Ah Hao didn't want to bother too much, so he rode directly over Alin's locomotive and turned around and drove away from the street.

Seeing that everyone was leaving, Gu Chen asked him with a smile, "Have you had dinner?"

"Not yet. Zhao Lin put his hands in his trouser pockets and said with a light smile.

Gu Chen glanced at the food stalls: "Why don't I eat with you again?"

"Don't bother. Zhao Lin walked directly to the barbecue restaurant next to the food stall and said to the boss: "Boss, ten skewers of big kidneys, twenty skewers of barbecue ......."

Ordering a lot of things from the barbecue restaurant, Zhao Lin carried the bag, and asked for a few bottles of beer by the way, and walked towards the river with Gu Chen.

The two chatted about their daily life together, and unconsciously came to the steps by the river and found a place to sit down.

"Come on?" Zhao Lin handed Gu Chen a beer.

Gu Chen hesitated.

Zhao Lin smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, this alcohol content is very low, it won't affect your work the next day, and you won't have enough alcohol to be a policeman, right?"

Gu Chen thought about it, but still took it, opened the can and asked him: "I remember that you were admitted to the civil service, why do you have time to come out to perform at night now?"

"I have long since stopped working as a civil servant. Zhao Lin barbecued with his left hand and beer with his right hand, and said with a light smile: "How boring is it to be a civil servant? ”

"Then what do you like?" I feel that the work of a civil servant can be left out at any time, this Zhao Lin's thinking is a bit avant-garde.

Zhao Lin smiled in fear: "Singing, you forgot, I have liked to sing since I was a child, at the school's New Year's Day party, which time was there a lack of my love song little prince Zhao Lin?"

Gu Chen thought about it for a while, indeed, in his junior high school career, Zhao Lin was indeed a male soloist at the New Year's Day party that had been contracted for three years.

This guy is a bit of a literary cell, at least in terms of music.

Thinking that Zhao Lin was majoring in finance, he suddenly asked him curiously: "Since you like music, why didn't you apply for music in the first place?" ”

In Gu Chen's impression, he only spent three years with Zhao Lin's classmates in junior high school, and in high school, because Zhao Lin's score was not up to standard, he was not admitted to the high school of Jiangnan No. 1 Middle School, and was forced to go to another school.

But I heard that I was already mixed well in school, and during the college entrance examination, I relied on a second-class college to study finance.

Hearing Gu Chen's words, Zhao Lin smiled lightly and patted Gu Chen's shoulder: "I said Gu Chen, there is a difference between liking and reality, for example, you obviously don't want to study finance, but your family insists on letting you read it, so do you say to read it or not?"

Gu Chen sneered, "Don't read it." ”

"Well, that's you, if only I could be as dashing as you. Zhao Lin shook his head, took a sip of beer, picked up a skewer of barbecue and stuffed it into his mouth.

After the stomach, Zhao Lin said: "After graduation, my family encouraged me to apply for the civil service examination, and I was indeed lucky to be admitted. ”

"But I found that the pace of work in the workplace didn't work for me, and I found that this is the case in many workplaces nowadays, where some people always have nothing to do and some things that no one does. ”

"Isn't this normal? In the final analysis, the work efficiency is not high, and reform is needed. Gu Chen's voice fell, and he took a sip of beer gently.

Zhao Lin nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "Well, that's right, people who have nothing to do are always unwilling to do things that no one does, people who have nothing to do are always nothing to do, and people who do things always have things that can't be done, tsk, it's weird." ”

"You should be the one who always can't finish things, right?" Gu Chen guessed what he wanted to say.

Zhao Lin nodded and said: "Yes, this is the basic situation of me and my leaders, people who have nothing to do, always stare at the people who do things, and criticize and find fault with the things that people do things, which leads to people who do things can't do things, and they can't do good things." ”

"And some people are dedicated to doing things, and some people have nothing to do, and they always like to have nothing to do, do you say that this kind of person is he scolded?"

"Yes. Gu Chen said with a light smile.

"That's it. Zhao Lin said this, and he was also angry: "I also rewarded those who pointed to the deer as horses, praised those who slipped their whiskers and patted horses, worked hard to be cattle and horses, and single-handedly." ”

"Some things are like looking at a watch, looking at the hour hand first, then the minute hand, and the second hand, which runs the most, without even looking at it. ”

Turning his head and glancing at Gu Chen, Zhao Lin also said aggrievedly: "Sometimes, if you are said to thank God when you first started working, it is probably not a good thing that you are here." ”

"The general unit is like this, there are fewer people who do it, more people who see more, more people who do more wrong, less people who do less, and those who don't see it wrong. ”

"People who have something to do don't have time to talk about others, and people who chew the root of their tongue don't have time to do things, what do you call it?"

"Then it's time for your unit to put things in order, it's really not good to go on like this. Gu Chen also told the truth, I feel that in these years, how can I do it without doing practical things?

Zhao Lin didn't care and said: "It's over, now don't call our unit, call my former unit, Lao Tzu won't serve for a long time, and he doesn't have to be reprimanded by the leader, he'd better find a well-behaved licking dog to work for him, buddy has a temper, and he can't serve this kind of person." ”

Hearing Zhao Lin's complaint, Gu Chen also laughed a few times, feeling how much grievance this was?

Seeing that Gu Chen was disapproving, Zhao Lin turned to ask him again: "I heard that you are working as a policeman in Furong?"

Gu Chen nodded silently.

"How about that? I should be a half-official now, right?" Zhao Lin was very curious.

Gu Chen still nodded silently: "No, I got mixed up with the captain of the criminal investigation team of the Furong Branch." ”

"What?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, Zhao Lin was directly stunned: "You...... You've only been on the job for a few years, and you're the captain of the criminal investigation team?"

Looking Gu Chen up and down, Zhao Lin sneered and said, "Yes, Gu Chen, you kid is really good, you are born to be a leader." ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Lin didn't forget to hammer Gu Chen's chest and tease.

Gu Chen smiled faintly and said, "The higher the position, the heavier the responsibility. ”

"Well, like someone in the system. Zhao Lin shook his fingers, feeling the smell.

Then he asked Gu Chen: "Then your unit, is there such a thing as my former unit?"

"Nope. Gu Chen shook his head and said with a light smile: "The leaders of our unit are all good, they are all good leaders who do practical things, and colleagues love each other, just like a family." ”

"As you saw tonight, those are colleagues from our department, and we all happened to have dinner together in the evening. ”

Listening to Gu Chen's narration, Zhao Lin was even a little jealous.

As soon as he heard that the beer was finished, he called another one, and said with a smile: "Then it seems that you Gu Chen is lucky, you have chosen the right unit, not all units are the same as your unit." ”

"If you say that the leaders in the unit are all practical, and the colleagues are all close to each other and love each other, then I am willing to continue to work in the civil service position, even if it is a simple compromise, I am willing to do it, but the most important thing is ......"

Glancing at Gu Chen, Zhao Lin suddenly said angrily: "The key is that my leader and I may be compatible in terms of constellations, belonging to the two extremes, harm, don't talk about this, Sang Xin." ”

"I feel like you called me out alone tonight to talk about my heart, and you came specifically to complain?" I feel that this night, Zhao Lin has a taste of pouring bitter water in it.

However, Zhao Lin was frank and took the initiative to admit: "You are really right, I am here to pour bitter water with you Gu Chen, but there is another thing to look for you." ”

"Another thing?" Gu Chen didn't understand very well.

Zhao Lin asked with a sly smile: "Do you still know Luo Wen in the class?"

"Luo Wen?" Hearing this name, which was already a little distant, Gu Chen was still a little impressed.

Luo Wen, in junior high school, should be regarded as a marginal figure.

Abnormally introverted, and the family conditions are not good, there is a father who loves Du Qian and often does not come home, and a mother who is sick all the year round.

There is also a younger brother to take care of at home.

Such a family of origin led to Rodwin's basic non-contact with people when he was in the class.

Gu Chen vaguely remembered that because of Luo Wen's introverted personality, he was often bullied by several classmates in the class who liked to make trouble.

In the class, Rodwen is synonymous with marginalized people.

However, Zhao Lin and himself are the only classmates who will take the initiative to talk to him.

In the three years of junior high school, the two helped him a lot.

It can be said that Zhao Lin and himself were Luo Wen's only friends in junior high school.

But why did Zhao Lin suddenly mention this to himself? Gu Chen didn't understand a little, so he hurriedly asked Zhao Lin: "Luo Wen, I have an impression, so what do you want to tell me?"

"Rodwin is getting married, just next week. Zhao Lin said.

When Gu Chen heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly laughed and said: "Luo Wen is getting married? Isn't it? I remember that these old classmates in our class have basically just joined the work, and it is even more impossible to talk about getting married, and Luo Wen is actually getting married?"

"How's that? Unexpected, right? I know you're going to be surprised. Seeing Gu Chen's expression, Zhao Lin also said with a light smile:

"When I just learned the news that he was going to get married from Luo Wen's phone, I was also confused, why did I say in my heart?"

"He Rodwen wants to have no figure, he wants to have no looks, his family conditions are not good, and his personality is still introverted. ”

"It turned out to be the first one of our classmates to get married, oh my God, is there any reason for this?"

......
