12:40 p.m.

at home.

Ms. Xiao Xiaofang specially delayed the cooking time.

When Gu Chen drove to the house, he was just in time to have a hot meal.

"Son, have you worked hard in the Furong Branch? I haven't seen you for so long, and you've lost weight. After Ms. Xiao Xiaofang brought the last plate of braised fish to the table, she took off her apron and threw it aside.

Holding the dishes and chopsticks, he also began to sit down......

"Huh. Gu Chen ate the food in the bowl, and couldn't help complaining: "I just weighed myself yesterday, and I am 3 kilograms heavier than when I went home last time, where do you see that I have lost weight?"

"Anyway, I think my son is thin when he's thin, so what's the reason. Xiao Xiaofang said, then used chopsticks to pick up a piece of braised pork and put it directly in Gu Chen's bowl: "Eat more, this is your favorite braised pork." ”

"Thank you, Mom. Gu Chen smiled and took a few bites of food.

At this time, Comrade Gu Baichuan, who had calculated the meal, also returned home, he put a plastic bag on the shoe cabinet, changed his shoes and walked into the house.

"Yo, son, is the food at home delicious?" Gu Baichuan asked.

Gu Chen suddenly remembered the dark cuisine in the canteen of the Furong Branch, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Compared to the canteen of our Furong Branch, the food at home is the most delicious, because it is made by my mother!"

"Haha, it's still my son who can talk, and his mouth has become sweeter. Ms. Xiao Xiaofang listened very happily.

has a few catties and taels of her cooking skills, Xiao Xiaofang is too numerous.

I can't talk about growth, but at least it's not going backwards.

Watching his son gobble up, I really don't understand the food in the Furong Branch, how unpalatable is this?

"Eat slowly, it's almost 1 o'clock now, we'll have dinner at 5 o'clock later, there's too much time in between, don't eat too much, just fill your stomach." ”

Listening to Xiao Xiaofang's inexplicable words, Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "Mom, what are you doing so early for dinner?" Are you going to participate in dance training or what? Could it be that which bank is going to hold a dance competition?"

After all, Xiao Xiaofang has deposits in several big banks in Jiangnan City, and the dance competitions sponsored by major banks are one after another, which is quite disturbing.

Gu Chen has received many voting links from Xiao Xiaofang in a row, all of which are popular canvassing for dance competitions sponsored by the bank.

"Haha, it's not. Xiao Xiaofang denied: "It's a general distributor of our non-staple food supermarket, they have a training meeting, which can be regarded as an exchange meeting, and invite us, the old dealers, to participate." ”

"Going to participate in the evening?" Gu Chen originally wanted to accompany his parents to the supermarket or something, but his mother was going to attend the training meeting?

"I'll go too. Gu Baichuan put a red invitation letter in the plastic bag in Gu Chen's hand, washed his hands and went to eat.

Gu Chen put down the dishes and chopsticks and flipped through them casually.

To be honest, the invitation is made of flowers, but it looks very high-end.

Presumably, this training meeting should not be too low-grade, right?

"That means you're all going to the training meeting tonight, and then leaving me alone at home?" Gu Chen asked.

Xiao Xiaofang smiled and said: "Silly boy, how could I leave you behind? The general distributor invited a well-known trainer in China, this time it was held in our Jiangnan City, and many dealers from surrounding counties and cities will come over, it is very lively." ”

"However, the training meeting does not stipulate how many people a dealer will bring to the past, but in principle, it is no more than 5 people, and our family will go over, which is just within the scope of the regulations and reasonable. ”

Gu Chen took a few bites of rice, and then said, "I know, let's talk about it in the evening." ”

"That's right. Xiao Xiaofang thought of something again, and said busily: "Wait for the dress I rented, it may be delivered in the afternoon, and I also rented a set for you." ”

"What?" Gu Chen was stunned again, and said, "Rent a dress, what kind of training does this have to be so formal?"

"It's not a formal question. Gu Baichuan interrupted the topic and said directly: "The main thing is that this regional dealer training meeting is actually an image display. ”

"This time it was originally to hold a regional customer appreciation meeting, but simply to engage in a thank you meeting, it would be a bit too monotonous, so the regional general distribution specially invited a famous domestic training teacher to teach us, which also reduced the trouble of two consecutive meetings of major dealers. ”

"So, everyone who went to the training meeting this time had to dress like a person, right?" Gu Chen asked again.

This time it was Xiao Xiaofang who answered, but she said lightly: "Isn't it? Every time this kind of thank-you meeting, or training meeting, directly becomes a variety of show-off wealth meetings." ”

"The general distributor who came to the scene not only had to fight for financial resources, but also had to fight for the clothes of each family and all kinds of bags. ”

"I don't care about your dad, I don't have to buy clothes deliberately, just rent a few decent clothes and deal with it. ”

Gu Chen probably understood what his parents meant.

Co-authoring is nominally a thank-you meeting or a training meeting, but in fact it is a place for comparison.

Since it is a comparison, the major dealers will be very particular about their dress and dress.

Gu Chen knew that his parents were not people who liked to waste, and it was unnecessary to buy clothes for comparison.

From this point of view, Gu Chen is quite in favor of his parents' idea of renting dresses.

"How is it, son, do you want to go at night?" Xiao Xiaofang asked.

"Go. Gu Chen nodded.

Xiao Xiaofang was immediately happy: "I knew that my son would go, with our son by his side, that is the greatest support for your parents and me, hurry up and eat, otherwise the food will be cold." ”

There was another nagging on the table......

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

The person who gave the dress really arrived, and after Gu Chen signed and accepted it downstairs, he returned home and threw the three sets of dresses on the sofa in turn.

"The clothes have arrived, do you want to try them on?" Gu Chen asked.

Gu Baichuan waved his hand: "No need to try, I have tried it several times with your mother in the store, but you should hurry up and try whether it fits or not." ”

"I'm on the thin side, so I should be fine. According to Gu Baichuan's guidance, Gu Chen picked up a set of dresses and entered the room.

It didn't take long for Gu Chen to put on a dress with starry diamonds on his shoulders and come to Gu Baichuan and Xiao Xiaofang.

"Oh my God. Xiao Xiaofang couldn't help but be surprised: "This ...... Is this still my son? It's so handsome, Yuki?"

"Our son is already very handsome. Gu Baichuan was also quite satisfied with the dress he chose, and when he saw Gu Chen wearing it on his body, he said: "Wearing this dress, you are the most beautiful boy in the audience, haha." ”

Gu Chen tugged at the bow on his neck and said depressedly: "The clothes are not bad, but this bow is too angry, right?"

"Your mother picked it. Gu Baichuan hurriedly threw the pot to Xiao Xiaofang.

Xiao Xiaofang suddenly smiled and said, "If you don't choose such a sassy bow, how can you match my son's appearance?"

"Anyway, just wear it for one night, and besides, this time they are all dealers, many people will bring their children to participate, and no one may recognize you, so it's right to dress yourself better. ”

I have to say that Xiao Xiaofang's reason is still tenable.

Gu Chen couldn't refuse, so he reluctantly agreed.

......

......

6:30 p.m.

Gu Chen's family, who had dinner early, drove to Huarong Hotel in the High-tech Zone.

The mobile LED display above the hotel gate has already let everyone know that the training will be held in the general hall on the fifth floor.

"May I ask if you're here to attend the training meeting?" A waitress at the door took the initiative to come over to say hello when she saw Gu Chen accompanying her parents up the steps.

"Yes. Gu Chen said.

The waitress smiled sweetly: "Then do you have an invitation?"

Gu Chen casually took it out of his pocket.

"Okay. The waitress looked at Gu Chen, then at Gu Baichuan and Xiao Xiaofang behind her, smiled and said, "You are the three, right?"

"Yes. Gu Baichuan responded.

"Alright, please come with me, sign in to the hall first, and then I'll take you in. ”

With the etiquette of a flight attendant, the waitress guided Gu Chen and the three of them into the sign-in desk on the side of the hall.

At this moment, there are also some posters of the training guests in the hall, which are lined up on both sides with X display racks, which look like stars no matter how you look at them.

Everyone wore colorful dresses, their hands were always crossed on their chests, and their hairstyles were meticulously combed.

On one side of the sign-in desk, there are also many books published by training instructors.

Gu Chen flipped through it a few times, it basically belonged to the chicken soup series, referred to as useful nonsense.

This kind of publication, in fact, Gu Chen also knows very well, it basically belongs to the publishing company under the training company for publishing, and tens of thousands of yuan can be published.

But each book sells at a huge price.

A pocket booklet of less than two hundred pages, the price tag is directly 100 yuan, Gu Chen feels that it is worth 10 yuan at most, and it can't be more.

However, it is not surprising that believers, who are training teachers, are willing to pay for books, and they buy dozens or hundreds of books at a time.

Seeing that his father and mother had already left their names in the sign-in book, Gu Chen also picked up the pen and wrote his name.

At this time, the reception lady took out three red plastic bracelets and said with a smile: "Please put this on." ”

"What is this for?" Gu Chen was a little curious.

The reception lady smiled and said: "This is the wristband, wear the bracelet, our staff can identify your identity, if you want to come out to the toilet, or call or something, it will be very convenient to enter the venue again, which is equivalent to identification." ”

"Son, it's just a bracelet, it's a disposable. Gu's mother, who has participated in this kind of meeting many times, still understands it quite well, and she quickly explained: "After participating in the training meeting, you can cut it with scissors." ”

"Okay. Gu Chen understood in an instant, and took the initiative to stretch out his right hand.

The receptionist lady was very professional, touching Gu Chen's wrist left and right, and finally clamped the buckle of the plastic bracelet firmly, and cut off the excess with scissors: "Okay." ”

"Can you go in?" Gu Chen asked.

"Yes. The waitress who was in charge of receiving Gu Chen's family just now suddenly smiled sweetly and led Gu Chen's family to the elevator on the first floor of the hall, leading directly to the conference complex on the fifth floor.

As soon as the elevators opened, they heard a shouting outside the door of the comprehensive hall on the fifth floor.

A young woman, with her graceful and luxurious posture, attracted everyone's attention.

But it wasn't because of what she was wearing, it was because she was arguing with the security guard at the door.

The young woman was very proud and proud, and insisted on ridiculing the security guard's profession in the face of the security guard's obstruction.

It was also because the other party was a woman that the security guard didn't bother with her, but he was still reluctant to let the woman enter the venue.

And a group of sisters around the woman also seem to be quite dissatisfied.

"What's the situation?" Gu Chen stepped forward and asked.

If it weren't for the black dress, Gu Chen would have almost added a sentence "I'm a policeman" in front.

After all, it's a professional habit......

The security guard glanced at the red bracelet on Gu Chen's right wrist, and immediately understood that Gu Chen was here to participate in the training meeting, so he said to him: "Our job is to be responsible for checking the wristbands of the participants, but these ladies, they don't carry red bracelets on their hands, I didn't let them in, but they insisted on going in, so ......"

"I see. Gu Chen nodded, and he also roughly understood the situation.

Then Gu Chen turned his head and asked the graceful and luxuriously dressed woman: "This lady, why don't you bring a bracelet? ”

"Yo, where did you come from?" Seeing Gu Chen's handsome appearance, the woman immediately softened her tone and said, "Isn't this in a hurry and forgot to go to the hall to sign in and wear a bracelet?"

"Anyway, it's not a particularly serious matter, why don't you let me in? Let me tell you, Mr. Wu, the guest who came to the scene today, he invited us over. ”

The woman spoke in such a loud voice that people trembled when she heard it.

Gu Chen said righteously: "Then you can go down and sign in, and put on the bracelet, won't it take long? Why bother the security uncle here." ”

Hearing Gu Chen say this, another companion behind the woman immediately patted her on the shoulder and said, "What this little handsome guy said is reasonable, Meimei, let's just trouble it, go down and sign in, put on the bracelet and come back." ”

"Okay. The woman named Meimei also smiled at Gu Chen and said, "Since the little handsome guy has spoken, then I will reluctantly go there, originally those security guards knew me before, and they never said anything, but these new uncles really don't understand the rules." ”

"If it weren't for the face of the little handsome guy, I would definitely complain about a few of you, don't you know that we are VIP regulars in the hotel? ”

Waving her hand, the woman called Meimei suddenly said to several other women: "Let's go, sisters, go and wear bracelets." ”

A group of fashionably dressed girls walked away with catwalks.

A fat woman at the door asked, "Who are these people? Dealers? Isn't it? Dealers are they doing this kind of temper?"

"Maybe it's a friend of the guest or something. Xiao Xiaofang also said her opinion: "After all, it is impossible to be 100% full in every training meeting, and it is not impossible for guests to use the remaining vacancies to invite some friends to participate." ”

"Yes, we have been attending this kind of similar meeting before, and we often see some idle people, like our dealers, come to the conference center, but these people are often eating snacks and chatting, and what they say on the stage has nothing to do with them. ”

Comrade Gu Baichuan also confessed that he was not surprised by this situation.

"Alright, let's go inside. A tall and thin middle-aged man suddenly interjected.

So, everyone rolled up their wrists in a very orderly manner, showed their red bracelets, and walked into the comprehensive hall in turn.

At this moment, on the big screen in the hall, there are advertisements for various sales achievements of some general distribution products, as well as the identity and resume of some on-site guest lecturers.

Gu Chen followed his parents and sat in the middle of the second row, where there were several old acquaintances of his parents in business, so after everyone sat down, they chatted.

And Gu Chen is responsible for eating melon seeds and passing the boring time, and he has a mentality of accompanying the emperor and queen to watch the play.

And Gu Baichuan and Xiao Xiaofang's old acquaintances in business couldn't help but talk about Gu Chen.

"Lao Gu, is this your son?"

"yes, I've only been working for a year. ”

"Yo, all graduated and worked? My daughter is still in college. ”

"Oh, then you're getting married a little late. ”

"Haha, it's the little daughter. ”

"Oooh. ”

"By the way, Lao Gu, what does your son do?"

"He's a police officer from the Criminal Investigation Team. ”

"Yo, it's terrible, working in the criminal investigation team at a young age, it must be dangerous, right?"

Gu Chen had been listening to the various nagging of a group of elders, and nodded frequently in boredom: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

"Why do you let your son do such a dangerous job, wouldn't it be nice to let him come back and work with you?"

"Yes, yes, if you get married in the future, my wife will definitely be very worried about his safety, it's better to choose an easy job, besides, you and Sister Xiao have been in business for so many years, are you still worried about your son's salary?"

"Haha, Lao Gu, Sister Xiao, if you two let your son stop being a policeman, how about I introduce my children to you as a daughter-in-law?"

"Hehe, it's good, it's good. Xiao Xiaofang smiled vigorously.

This group of businessmen is like this, usually everyone gets together to talk about the business, as well as how everyone has been doing recently, and whether they have encountered some difficulties that are more difficult to handle.

But today is different, Gu Chen is sitting here, and everyone's topic involuntarily shifts to him.

This made Gu Chen a little embarrassed, but he was used to it.

Gu Chen had long been surprised by this situation.

It's just that the aunts and uncles are too enthusiastic, but if you don't want to be a policeman, Gu Chen will directly deny it.

In order to avoid picking up some embarrassing topics, Gu Chen simply pretended to set his eyes on the big screen on the stage.

At this moment, the screen is just introducing the resume of a well-known training teacher in the domestic training industry.

In the picture, a bald man was wearing a suit, handsome and chic, but when the picture shifted to his whole body, Gu Chen was directly stunned.

......
