I am a super cop

Chapter 2943 Cultural Feast

As a foodie, Lu Weiwei brought everyone to a specialty restaurant. The restaurant was not big and the decoration was not luxurious. It was one of those old-fashioned stores.

The boss was also very happy to see Lu Weiwei, and quickly greeted Lu Weiwei: "Hey, isn't this Officer Lu? Bring your friends to dinner?"

"Yes, boss. Is there any room left?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"Yes, yes, yes, how about that?" The boss quickly pointed to an empty seat on one side.

"Sure." Lu Weiwei turned to look at Liu Fei and said with a smile, "How about sitting there?"

"Uh, okay." Liu Fei was obviously a little reluctant about this kind of low-end restaurant, but for the sake of face, she could only reluctantly agree.

At this time, the boss noticed Gu Chen and came over excitedly to say hello: "Hey, Officer Gu, I didn't see you just now. Are you here to eat with Officer Lu?"

"Yeah." Gu Chen smiled slightly.

At this time, the boss's wife came out from the kitchen and teased her husband: "You are stupid. Officer Gu always eats with Officer Lu."

"When you see Officer Lu, you should remember that Officer Gu is also there. They are always inseparable."

"Yes, yes, yes." The boss smiled awkwardly after being scolded by his wife, and then quickly greeted Gu Chen:

"Officer Gu, please sit down. I'll pour you a glass of water."

"Thank you." Gu Chen thanked him and walked to the empty seat.

At this time, the boss saw Liu Fei and her female assistant, so he asked again: "Are you all together?"

"Yes." Liu Fei also nodded silently.

"Then take a seat. This is the only empty seat left," said the boss.

"Okay." Liu Fei nodded silently and sat next to Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei with her assistant.

Seeing some water stains on the table, Liu Fei pulled out the napkin from the table with a look of disgust, wiped the table, and then threw it into the trash can beside her.

Looking around, there was a lot of noise all around, and Liu Fei asked curiously:
“Is this restaurant clean?”

"It's quite clean." Lu Weiwei seemed to understand Liu Fei's concerns and said with a smile:
"All small restaurants are like this. This one is a long-established store and the food is delicious."

"It's just that the environment is a little worse. It's an old store, so they only focus on the taste and don't pay much attention to the environment and decoration."

"And the people who come here to eat are all regular customers, and they all approve of the taste of the food."

"Yes." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Gu Chen also said:

“Many of the old streets here are full of time-honored stores. If the taste is not up to standard, it will be difficult for them to survive.”

"Usually, most of the locals come here to eat. With the development of the tourism industry in recent years, more and more people from other places have discovered this place."

“So the business here is getting better every year, so you might as well give it a try.”

"Okay, Officer Gu." Upon hearing this, the female assistant also smiled and said:

"It's mainly because our sister Fei rarely comes to eat at this kind of small restaurant, so she is not used to the environment."

"What's the big deal? Their place is quite clean, except that the furniture is a little broken." Lu Weiwei also said jokingly.

The boss also hurried over at this moment and asked Gu Chen: "Officer Gu, what would you like to eat today?"

"You make the arrangements. Bring two friends from Beijing here today. Let the boss make the arrangements and recommendations." After all, Gu Chen was quite familiar with this place, so he gave the choice to the boss.

The boss also smiled and said, "Okay, let me recommend a few special dishes in our restaurant."

"Okay." Gu Chen also nodded slightly.

Then the boss left and went into the kitchen.

At this time, inside the restaurant, there were many diners around who greeted Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei.

After all, the two of them are receiving a lot of attention here, and Liu Fei seems to be more embarrassed.

Seeing how popular Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were, Liu Fei smiled and said, "You guys are quite popular here, right?"

"It's okay, just a bit more well-known." Lu Weiwei also said jokingly.

"Haha." Liu Fei smiled awkwardly and continued, "Do you usually eat in places like this?"

"That's not the case. We usually eat in the police station cafeteria and occasionally come to the restaurant to eat. But the places we eat are all those old restaurants."

"Because the food in those luxuriously decorated new restaurants is really hard to describe. As someone who has some requirements for food, I definitely can't take you to those places."

“Follow us locals and we guarantee you’ll get the best local food.”

"Haha." After hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Liu Fei smiled awkwardly and continued:

"Then you're not from the capital? How did you become a local?"

"Yes." Lu Weiwei sipped her tea and said:

"My dad works in this province, so I came here to work too. I've lived in Jiangnan for many years, so I can be considered a local."

"The capital can only be considered my hometown."

"Oh, so what does your father do? He's living well in Beijing, why did he come to another province?" Liu Fei continued to ask indirectly.

Lu Weiwei grinned: "Servant of the people."

"Okay." Hearing this, Liu Fei roughly guessed that he was probably a small leader or something.

Looking at Gu Chen, Liu Fei asked Gu Chen again if there were any entertainment activities nearby.

Gu Chen also told Liu Fei everything about the entertainment venues here based on his own understanding.

Everyone was just chatting casually, waiting for the boss to serve the food. Only then did Liu Fei realize what Lu Weiwei had said.

"Well, the food here is really delicious. The taste feels completely different." Liu Fei couldn't help but sigh after tasting the food here.

Lu Weiwei smiled proudly: "I didn't lie to you, did I? In this place, if you want to find delicious food, then I, Lu Weiwei, am the best."

"And let me tell you, there are many delicious snacks on this street. After we finish our meal, I will take you to try those snacks."

"it is good."

Through more communication with Lu Weiwei, Liu Fei gradually found many topics to talk about with Lu Weiwei.

After all, both of them are from Beijing, so they naturally have a lot of communication topics.

And during her communication with Lu Weiwei, Liu Fei gradually discovered that Lu Weiwei was actually a very loyal person.

If I were a man, I would definitely like to be friends with someone like Lu Weiwei.

Amidst all the laughter and joy, after everyone finished their dinner, Lu Weiwei immediately took Liu Fei to visit several food stalls in the alleys of the old street, which made Liu Fei very happy.

After playing in the old street, everyone went for a walk by the river. At 8 o'clock in the evening, Liu Fei's female assistant looked at the time and reminded Liu Fei: "Sister Fei, it's getting late. Should we go back to the hotel?"

"Really?" Liu Fei took out his cell phone and checked the time. He nodded silently and said:
"Well, we have to go back to the hotel. Thank you for today."

"You're welcome. You're guests, and you're here to promote our Jiangnan City exhibition." Lu Weiwei also grinned. After a simple farewell, the others dispersed.

The female assistant drove Liu Fei back to the hotel, while Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei chose to take a taxi at the old street intersection to return to Furong Branch.

……

……

The next morning.

Gu Chen received a call from Qin Gang in the office and quickly answered the call: "Director Qin."

"Gu Chen, how was the filming yesterday?" Qin Gang was also particularly concerned.

Gu Chen quickly reported: "Very good, the filming went smoothly, and they should be doing post-production now."

"That's good. Also, Mr. Hu Weiwen's exhibits will be transported here one after another today. They have hired a professional security company to escort them to the exhibition hall. You need to go and make the connection. After all, we are more familiar with this place."

"I understand." After hearing Qin Gang's words, Gu Chen knew that he would need to go to the exhibition hall to coordinate the exhibits.

Qin Gang added: "Also, these exhibits are quite expensive, so we can't be careless. Losing any one of them would be a huge loss."

"So here, no accidents can happen."

"I understand." Gu Chen continued to agree.

"Okay, then I'll leave the work at the exhibition to you these days. They will deliver the goods around 9 am."

"I'll leave now." said Gu Chen.

After repeatedly communicating with Qin Gang and confirming some details, Gu Chen hung up the phone.

Looking at the time, Gu Chen immediately stood up and started walking towards the general office.

After arranging work for everyone, he took Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha to the scene to check the situation.

As for the other police officers, they were arranged yesterday and are now deployed near the exhibition.

Since this exhibition is not just an oil painting exhibition, many exhibition areas have been expanded around it. The city wants to turn this place into a city consumption carnival during the holidays.

Not only should we meet the spiritual needs of the citizens, but also their material needs.

When Gu Chen drove to the scene, the staff were still building guardrails.

Due to the large flow of people during holidays, it is necessary to set up diversion guardrails near the entrance in advance.

At this moment, some police cars were parked nearby and police officers began patrolling the area.

Gu Chen arrived at the entrance of the exhibition center and saw a security guard, so he quickly asked, "Have the people who transported the paintings arrived?"

"Not yet, but it should be soon," said the security guard.

As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, he saw several trucks, escorted by several small cars, parked in front of the exhibition hall.

After getting off the bus, there were some men in security uniforms standing guard around.

This is an escort convoy, and these trucks are loaded with works for the exhibition.

Gu Chen quickly called Officer Wang and others to go over and check out the situation.

"Hello, are you the convoy escorting the exhibits?" Gu Chen asked.

A middle-aged man in charge of the command quickly responded, "Yes, we are the escort team hired by Mr. Hu. His exhibitions are usually escorted by us."

"Are all the things here?" asked Officer Wang.

"We're all here." The middle-aged man smiled and pointed at the trucks behind him.

“Everything is loaded into the truck and we are now preparing to unload it, but before unloading, we need to go to the exhibition site to check the situation.”

"Okay, let's go together." Gu Chen said.

Everyone walked towards the central area of ​​the exhibition.

Due to the early planning, this place has already been transformed into an exhibition site.

Many places are cleaned up, just waiting for the exhibits to be brought in and hung on these walls.

After checking all the exhibition areas, the middle-aged man took out his phone and started communicating in a foreign dialect.

It is obvious that the team escorting the exhibits all have accents from other places, and it seems that these people are all fellow villagers.

After the conversation, the middle-aged man put down his phone, smiled at Gu Chen and said, "We can move our things up now."

"Okay." Gu Chen nodded slightly to show that he understood.

Afterwards, everyone stood aside and watched these valuable exhibits being carried into the exhibition area one by one by the workers.

Everyone moved skillfully and quickly hung the exhibits on the wall according to their previous numbers.

It took a whole morning to set up the exhibition area, and all the exhibits were not set up until 12 noon.

The middle-aged man let out a long sigh and looked at Gu Chen and said, "Officer Gu, the exhibits here are almost ready."

"Thank you for your hard work. Will you be responsible for the security of the exhibition area in the next few days?"

"No, no, we are only responsible for escorting." Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man hurriedly explained:
"The contract we signed with Mr. Hu only provides escort services for the exhibits, safely transporting them here, and then safely sending them back after the exhibition."

"As for the security of the exhibition during these few days, it is the responsibility of the security guards at the exhibition center. We will not be involved in this matter."

"Okay." After understanding the situation, Gu Chen nodded silently and said without hesitation:

"The security work in the next few days will be handled by the security guards of the exhibition center and our Furong branch, so you can rest assured."

"Okay." The middle-aged man smiled and explained quickly:

"I'm going to take everyone out for dinner later, and then go back. We'll come again after the exhibition is over."

"Okay." Gu Chen also nodded silently.

After a brief communication, the middle-aged man left, and Hu Weiwen, accompanied by several assistants, came to the exhibition site.

When he saw Gu Chen, Hu Weiwen also smiled and quickly stepped forward to greet him: "Officer Gu, we meet again."

"Mr. Hu, you're here on time. The setup has just been completed." Gu Chen said with a smile.

"I know that the decoration will be finished at noon, so I came to see the effect. After all, the city leaders will come on the day of the exhibition, and I have to see how the decoration here is going."

"So what do you feel now?" Lu Weiwei asked curiously.

Hu Weiwen was also very satisfied and quickly said: "The exhibition is very beautiful, the space is very large, and the lighting effects are just right."

"I am very satisfied with this arrangement. I hope this exhibition can bring a cultural feast to the citizens of Jiangnan City."
