I am a super cop

Chapter 1184 The person disappeared on the spot
Inside the room.

The atmosphere of everyone's chatting was homely, and there were not many polite words, which made Gu Chen feel very comfortable.

The same is true for Zhang Wenle.

This is why Zhang Wenle chose to come to his uncle's restaurant after returning to Jiangnan City from the capital.

Here, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha took a group photo with Zhang Wenle, while Police Officer Wang over there couldn't save face, so he picked up his phone and took a few random photos of Zhang Wenle.

Seeing the harmonious atmosphere, Zhang Lei greeted everyone to eat and asked Zhang Wenle: "Wenle, when you go home, will you live in the city or in the country?"

"It might be in the countryside." Zhang Wenle said helplessly after drinking a glass of wine, "I bought a house in the city and just got the keys, but it hasn't been renovated yet, so I can't live in it for the time being, I can only live in the countryside."

Having said this, Zhang Wenle sighed.

Gu Chen, who noticed the abnormality, also asked him curiously: "You don't want to live in the country?"

"No, I just don't want people to know that I'm going home." Zhang Wenle frowned, and explained to Gu Chen:
"After returning home last year, to tell you the truth, all kinds of people invited me to dinner, those who have never met, those who have met, including former classmates."

"Even classmates who haven't seen each other for several years, sent text messages, made phone calls, and said that they must treat me to dinner."

Shaking his head, Zhang Wenle also said helplessly: "What's even more exasperating is that someone I have never met, he insists on inviting me to dinner."

"To be honest, Officer Gu, I really don't want to go."

It can be seen that Zhang Wenle has social phobia, and Gu Chen also nodded silently: "There are a lot of entertainment during the Chinese New Year. Now that you are famous, people who know you and those who don't know you will definitely come to you for dinner. This is normal."

"It's not normal." Zhang Wenle shook his head, and sighed helplessly, "At that time last year, I was only slightly famous."

"But this year is different. If I didn't wear a hat and sunglasses when I went out and wrapped myself up tightly, I might be recognized on the street."

"So the scene last year was embarrassing enough for me. This year I really don't want too many people to know that I'm going home, so..."

"So don't go, you can also live in Uncle Lei's house. Although the house is not big, it's okay to give you a room."

Zhang Lei couldn't help saying after drinking a glass of fruit juice.

But Zhang Wenle shook his head and sighed: "But my mother said, I still have to go, otherwise, after drinking, call me and say oops, you see you have changed now, you are not the same person you used to be."

"So this made me very...very embarrassing, you know? My mother has always been proud of me. In the past two years in the village, I have gained more face. The main reason is my embarrassment."

"I don't know what to do. To be honest, I was in my hometown for a few days last year, which made me very uncomfortable."

"In the past, those people who knew or didn't know you well, people who were close or not very close, they would often talk about me, and they would talk about me, you know? But they hardly said good things."

"Haha." Hearing that Zhang Wenle was distressed, Lu Weiwei also smiled lightly and said, "I really can't imagine that you, a big star, have so much distress?"

"Isn't that right? Who made me suddenly famous?" Zhang Wenle was also lying on the seat, and couldn't help complaining: "I have a psychological shadow when I go home now."

"Because this is... a very normal phenomenon." Zhang Lei took a sip of his drink and said lightly:

"You said those people mentioned you, that's right, they will definitely tell people, do you know XX? It turned out to be from our village, hey, that grandson, let me tell you, I don't even like to look at him."

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhang Wenle nodded silently: "That's right, it's very annoying."

Zhang Lei smiled lightly, and said again: "So they will say that Zhang Wenle is popular now."

"Back then, from now on, whether it's true or not, many things will be said one after another. This is a very normal phenomenon, let me tell you."

After a pause, Zhang Lei suddenly looked up and thought: "What is there a word called... what is it?"

"There are a lot of people who are popular." Gu Chen added.

Zhang Lei flicked his fingers: "Yes, it makes people popular."

"Let me tell you, Wen Le, you have to grit your teeth and remember, no one will praise you, and people who can't reach you will definitely not say hello."

"I was in the same class as you, even if I was three grades behind you, even the people who watched the gate when you were in elementary school would use you as an excuse."

"For example, that guy Zhang Wenle went to the capital to join the entertainment industry. That's something to talk about, even me."

"And after that, maybe you don't even know them. The students in Jiangnan City have to say that they still wet the bed in our dormitory."

"puff!"

Hearing Zhang Lei's words, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha couldn't help laughing out loud.

When Zhang Wenle heard it, he felt embarrassed immediately, and quickly clarified: "Uncle, when did I wet the bed? Don't talk nonsense, okay?"

"Isn't this an analogy?" Zhang Lei also complained.

Zhang Wenle was displeased, and retorted: "There is no need to talk about such rumors."

"But I won't say it, others will." Zhang Lei took the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, and he couldn't help talking: "They won't say hello to things like this."

"Yes." Zhang Wenle also nodded in agreement: "They really don't speak well of me, they just talk about me anyway."

"Isn't that right?" Police Officer Wang also interjected when he heard the words: "You are famous now, but those people will definitely say that you are not good, and they will tell the other party, look, Zhang Wenle, whom you admire so much, was in our school back then. Well, I won't take him seriously."

"And these people will say when bragging, now that he is like this, I don't like to watch him."

"Yes." Feeling that everyone was on point, Zhang Wenle also nodded silently, admitting, "That's how those people are."

"Sometimes, when I was filming and working in the capital, they would still tease me, and call me out of the blue during dinner."

"If this call is connected, they will say you saw it? Answer it as soon as you call."

"And if I don't pick it up, they will say, what is this grandson doing, this is a human thing."

Speaking of this, Zhang Wenle also let out a long sigh, unable to complain: "This is also the reason why I don't want to go back to the countryside, I just want to stay in the city for a while."

"Because after returning home, the whole village will start the live broadcast, using me as a drainage tool, saying that I am an old classmate, a childhood playmate, and so on."

"Of course, they're right, they just over-consume me and make me feel uncomfortable."

"Take another artist who also came back to our Jiangnan City last year as an example. He is quite well-known in the entertainment industry."

"But after returning to Jiangnan City, do you know what he is doing?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, expressing their ignorance.

"He goes to and from the wedding banquets of the relatives of the seven aunts and eight aunts every day, and acts as the best man for those cousins. Every time he comes back, he is the best man. I feel that these relatives set the wedding day for him when he comes home. No. 'Best man little prince'."

"Pfft." Hearing Zhang Wenle's remarks, Lu Weiwei couldn't help holding back her laughter: "I used to think that being an artist was very beautiful, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult to go home as an artist?"

"That's right, so these people don't want to go home to celebrate the New Year. The main reason is that they are afraid of being dominated by their relatives. After all, celebrities and entertainers also want to pay New Year's greetings." Gu Chen also understood Zhang Wenle's difficulties deeply.

It can be seen that if you don’t go home for the New Year, you miss your hometown.

But when I went home for the New Year, all kinds of trivial things came one after another.

Although it can make the family look good, embarrassing things happen one after another.

Zhang Lei covered his mouth and snickered, and gave a suggestion: "I said Wenle, I suggest you don't go back, and stay at your Uncle Lei's house."

"Wait a few days before the Chinese New Year and then go back to pay New Year's greetings. In this way, your friends who want to find you for dinner will not know your specific whereabouts."

"If you go back to the countryside now, you might be broadcast live by the whole village 24 hours a day. Those people can really do it."

"I know, I wanted to stay in a hotel and didn't want to disturb Uncle Lei."

"Ham, why bother or not? They are all from my own family. Don't talk about two families. Your Uncle Lei is not the kind of person who consumes you."

"You, just live at Uncle Lei's house with peace of mind. Don't tell her about your mother for now, just say that you are still in the capital."

"Otherwise, I can imagine now that your mother is telling people about your return home."

"If that's the case, shouldn't those who get married and those who serve wine grab you to perform?"

"That's right, Wen Le, I'll just listen to Uncle Lei." Zheng Kewen, who sat silent for a long time, also suggested.

Hearing this, Zhang Lei nodded silently after thinking about it for a few seconds and said, "That's fine, I just need to trouble Uncle Lei these days."

"Ham, what are you talking about? This is not troublesome. Your Uncle Lei's family is small. After you go, it will be called lively."

Looking at the dishes in front of him, Zhang Lei also reminded: "Everyone, don't stop chopsticks, eat while it's hot."

"Ah."

Everyone picked up their chopsticks and started enjoying.

At Zhang Lei's suggestion, everyone toasted and drank together, and the atmosphere suddenly became active.

Zhang Lei glanced at Gu Chen, and asked for advice: "Gu Chen, you have a good eye and know a lot. Have you paid attention to the newly opened shopping mall near here?"

"Yes." Gu Chen put down his chopsticks and said involuntarily, "This newly opened shopping mall takes a high-end route."

"That's right, I want to open another branch and go to that shopping mall, what do you think?" Zhang Lei asked.

Gu Chen frowned, and quickly asked Zhang Lei: "What about the funds?"

"Not a lot, but a few partners can come up with some, but I don't know if this mall can be built."

"I advise you to speak slowly." Gu Chen took a sip of his drink and said as a reminder: "I've seen your restaurant. Generally speaking, the business is not bad."

"So, based on this store, just do a good job in the operation, and don't keep thinking about moving to the mall."

"But the shopping mall has a lot of people, and the location of our store is not particularly good." Zhang Lei expressed his anxiety.

But Gu Chen still shook his head and said: "Uncle Lei, what you see is the traffic of the shopping mall, and the rent has increased several times. Can your turnover increase so much?"

"I don't know, maybe not? But KFC, McDonald's, I think they are also settled in."

"It's not the same." Gu Chen smiled lightly and explained, "KFC? Can you compare? Like KFC, McDonald's, Starbucks, and Haidilao."

"Many malls don't charge their rent at all, and even subsidize renovation costs."

"What?" Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, Zhang Lei was a little confused: "Still not charging them rent? Still subsidizing the decoration costs?"

"That's right, I'm talking about some shopping malls, they will sign internal contracts with these big brands, why? Because the shopping malls also have to rely on these big brands to attract traffic, and then collect the rent from small households like you."

"So you think you're just stealing the traffic of the shopping mall? In fact, you may also be cut off as a leek, so you need to be cautious in controlling costs, and don't fall into it impulsively."

"That's right." Seeing that Gu Chen was right, Yuan Shasha quickly added: "This shopping mall is still in its infancy, and the traffic flow will definitely not be very large, especially the food stores, which are mostly along the street."

"If Uncle Lei wants to open a new store in the mall, I don't think it is necessary because the cost cycle is too long."

"If Uncle Lei can manage this store well and double the turnover, there is no need to worry about the impact of this mall."

In fact, Lu Weiwei had already seen Zhang Lei's thoughts.

As the nearby shopping malls have sprung up, many merchants along the street are afraid that the small shops on the street will be impacted by the shopping malls, so they follow suit and want to set up a store on the upper floor of the shopping mall.

But Zhang Lei seemed to make sense when he heard what Gu Chen and Yuan Shasha said, so he nodded in agreement:

"The main reason is that I don't have a lot of spare money on hand now. It's better to use it for business if I keep it in the bank."

"To be honest, with the little spare money in my hand, I can't buy any bigger stores in the mall, and I will put more pressure on myself."

"If this is the case, then I will not rent it for the time being."

"Uncle Lei, it's not that you won't be allowed to rent, it's just that considering your financial pressure, you can indeed slow down."

"After all, such investment capital is very long. If you have enough cash on hand, you may be able to try it."

"No need, just listen to you." Zhang Lei said with a smile.

At the wine table, Zhang Lei also interacted frequently with everyone.

Everyone chatted happily for a while, Gu Chen took Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha away with an excuse, and returned to the three groups of private rooms.

At this moment, everyone stayed for a while, until the checkout, everyone left one after another.

Since the payment is from the dinner fund of the criminal investigation team, everyone does not have to pay for it themselves.

The cashier also gave everyone a discount according to Zhang Lei's intention.

Bringing everyone to the door of the store, Gu Chen also arranged vehicles one by one to send everyone home safely.

It was busy for a while, and it was already 8 o'clock in the evening.

Gu Chen lent his car to Lao Ding, and asked Police Officer Ding to leave with a few colleagues who were in a hurry, while he, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha were going to walk back to the Furong branch.

On the way, Police Officer Wang also said with emotion: "It seems that Zhang Lei's family has a lot of trivial matters. There is a nephew of a comedian, and it is difficult to return home."

"I want to open a store in a high-end shopping mall, but I don't have enough funds. Do you think this person is a contradiction?"

"Having money can solve everything." Lu Weiwei saw that Police Officer Wang felt a lot tonight, so she couldn't help complaining: "In my opinion, the key is the lack of money."

"But when you give up buying a house, you will find that you have a lot of money."

"When you give up on getting married, you find yourself running out of time."

"When you give up having children, you not only find that you have a lot of money and time."

"That's right, Lu Weiwei, you are quite right." Police Officer Wang crossed his arms and said as he walked, "This person is usually old, and you always feel that there is something pressing on your chest."

"Maybe you start worrying about your marriage, about your family, about your children, about your parents, about your job."

"Anyway, there is always one thing that touches your heart."

Glancing at the people around him, Police Officer Wang said again: "Sometimes, this feeling will make you toss and turn and keep you awake at night."

"Yes." Lu Weiwei crossed her arms with both hands, and couldn't help complaining: "So the user experience is not good when you grow up, and you always want to return the product."

"And at this time, you have to choose the time and place even when you collapse."

"While wiping your tears secretly, you still have to tell your family that you are fine and you are fine."

"Maybe this is the life of an adult. It crashes 800 times a day, but as long as someone asks, it's fine. Zhang Wenle is the best example."

"Haha." Seeing that Lu Weiwei also began to sigh with emotion about life, Police Officer Wang was immediately proud.

After all, he finally made this girl realize that she was no longer young, at least not 18 years old.

Just as everyone walked past the entrance of a commercial building, a woman in a suit and uniform was standing on the side of the road trembling.

In the cold weather, she seemed to be very irritable while waiting through the glass door.

At this moment, a battery car quickly stopped on the side of the road, and a young man in takeaway clothing immediately picked up the takeaway in his hand and rushed over at a rocket-like speed.

At the same time, the woman who had been watching through the glass door also opened the door angrily, and walked forward angrily.

"Sorry for the long wait." The takeaway boy hurriedly stuffed the takeaway into the woman's hands, turning around and leaving.

Seeing this, the woman in uniform said angrily: "Hey, what's the matter with you? It's already at this point, and I have to go to work."

When mentioning the takeaway in her hand, the woman in uniform was also furious and said: "Look at this food is cold, how do you ask me to eat it?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The delivery boy seemed very anxious, and while running towards his battery car, he waved his hand to express his apology.

But this move directly annoyed the woman in uniform.

The woman in uniform also frowned slightly, and said directly angrily: "Hey, what's your attitude? Be careful I'll give you a bad review."

As soon as the voice fell, the takeaway boy was stunned on the spot, and he turned around slowly, looking at the woman in uniform with a sad face.

"What are you looking at? With your attitude, what's the matter with sending it over so late? Do you know how long I've been waiting for you here? It's enough to deliver it twice."

The woman in uniform was still furious, looking at her watch from time to time, as if she was in a hurry.

But at this moment, the delivery boy took a deep breath and said, "The last rider got into a car accident, and the person... disappeared on the spot. I re-delivered it to you."

"What?" Hearing the takeaway boy's words, the girl in uniform suddenly froze on the spot, and said with a stiff expression, "Yes...is the meal gone, or..."

"It was the person who disappeared on the spot." The takeaway brother let out a long sigh of relief, and said with a frustrated face: "The boss re-made the meal, so don't give bad reviews? Thank you."

As soon as the voice fell, the takeaway boy rode directly on his battery car and quickly disappeared into the night.
