I am a super cop
Chapter 1746 Furong Photo Studio [Happy Police Chapter]
Chapter 1746 Furong Photo Studio 【Happy Police Day】
(two in one chapter)
"Old Wang, when did you become a roundworm in my stomach?" Lu Weiwei felt that what Comrade Wang said was correct.
The end of the year is approaching, and I have indeed begun to slack off at work, and procrastination has also begun to attack.
If it wasn't for following Gu Chen's work rhythm, I'm afraid I'd have to get up again.
Police Officer Wang snorted twice, also jokingly: "I won't tell you what's going on with you, Lu Weiwei. Anyway, if you are under the influence of procrastination, then everything is difficult at the beginning, and it has already expired."
"Because even if you have already started to do it, you will be distracted immediately. After a few minutes of work, you pick up your phone to see what time you leave work, right?"
Glancing at other people in the office, Officer Wang asked again, "Is that right?"
When everyone heard the words, they all bowed their heads in embarrassment.
Many new comrades feel that it is exactly what they want.
It can be seen that Lao Wang still understands everyone.
Seeing this, Police Officer Wang also grinned: "So in the end, I was fishing with my mobile phone for two hours, and I didn't do anything serious."
"Afterwards, I suddenly realized and blamed myself, and if there are more than two things to do at the same time, you are usually doing this thing, thinking about that thing, doing that thing, but thinking about it this matter."
Glancing at Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang also called the name and said: "It's you, Lu Weiwei, who want to play with your mobile phone while doing things, and want to do things while playing with your mobile phone."
"You seem to have everything in your head, but you don't know what you're thinking about at all."
"Superficially busy, but actually dizzy."
"It seems that I have worked hard all day, only to find out in the evening, and it seems that I have not done anything. I procrastinate with my mobile phone at night, and adjust the alarm clock many times in the morning. I am procrastinating."
"But I always think in my heart, wait a little longer, wait a little longer, it's too late, until it's really too late, I just jumped up, and then I realized that it's too bad, there's no time..."
"Old Wang, stop talking." Feeling that Comrade Wang knew her too well, Lu Weiwei quickly covered Officer Wang's mouth, feeling like she had told all the embarrassing things about herself.
Officer Ding also smiled when he saw this: "It's not just you, Lu Weiwei. The Spring Festival is coming soon, and how many people's catchphrase has become 'let's talk about it after the New Year'."
"It's normal to be slack at work a year ago. After all, you've been working for a whole year. By this time, you've almost used up all your prehistoric power."
"If the elders come home and ask, how did you find your girlfriend? You will definitely say, I found it, let's talk about it after the Chinese New Year."
"For those who celebrate the New Year, what else can't we talk about after the New Year? But what if the New Year is really over? Just after the New Year, let's wait until the New Year is over."
Picking up the thermos cup and taking a sip of wolfberry tea, Police Officer Ding also grinned: "This is really tomorrow after tomorrow. There are so many tomorrows. Since there are so many, you might as well procrastinate."
"And you procrastinate and procrastinate, the more you procrastinate, the more lazy you become. Don't bother me if you have nothing to do. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Eh? Old Ding, your doggerel is pretty good, who did you learn it from? Old Wang?" Lu Weiwei also said jokingly.
Police Officer Ding laughed a few times, and joked, "I'm familiar with the group of propaganda, so I can say a few words."
"Their year-end promotional slogans are all this kind of doggerel."
It seems to have thought of something?Officer Ding immediately said: "Oh, by the way, you didn't go to work yesterday, so I forgot to tell you about something."
"What's the matter?" Gu Chen looked up at Lao Ding and asked him curiously.
Officer Ding turned around and came to Gu Chen's side, reminding him, "Yesterday, a police officer from the City Bureau came over and said he wanted me to tell you that this afternoon, go to the Furong Photo Studio to take the promotional photos of the desk calendar of the Jiangnan City Police Force this year. Take a picture."
"Is it another portrait photo?" Gu Chen asked.
Officer Ding nodded silently: "That's right, it's the same as last year."
"Won't the Municipal Bureau change people? It's me every year, isn't that good?" Gu Chen felt that he had shown his face in the police force system enough times.
No matter what, you have to give others a chance to show your face, right?
Officer Dante waved his hands, and said with a smile, "You, Gu Chen, don't shirk, you are appointed by the city bureau, and Lu Weiwei, Lao Wang, oh yes, this time Xiao Yuan will also go."
"The main reason is that the overall image of your group is good. Qin Bureau has also discussed with the leaders of the city bureau, but after choosing and choosing, I feel that the image does not meet the expected requirements."
"So, you have to continue to show your face. As for other things, let's talk about it next year."
"Hey." As soon as Officer Ding finished speaking, Officer Wang walked up to Gu Chen proudly, patted Gu Chen on the shoulder and said:
"Gu Chen, when it's time to perform, you must perform actively so that more people can get to know you every year."
Picking up the wedding candy on Gu Chen's table, Police Officer Wang peeled off one and put it in his mouth, also jokingly said, "What an honor it is to shoot a poster for the police force's calendar?"
"Many people work hard all their lives in the police force in Jiangnan City, and they may not have the opportunity to show their faces. If there is such a good thing, don't shirk it. My Xiaobei is still waiting to show off to the children in the neighborhood with my stationery and wall calendar."
"Yeah, Junior Brother Gu, this is a good thing. At least everyone in the Jiangnan Police Force can see you, and every year, that's good."
Lu Weiwei felt that Gu Chen was just too modest.
Many people want to show their faces, but Gu Chen doesn't care.
This kind of aloof character made Lu Weiwei look anxious.
Fortunately, Gu Chen's strength is here, so he is easily seen by the superiors. If he were to be replaced by other mediocre police officers, he would probably be squeezed out by others.
In fact, there will be "involvement" within the police force, which is normal. Only competition can have work motivation.
At least Lu Weiwei felt that the desk calendar on her desk was not very satisfied with the photos taken last year.
This year, I have this opportunity again, just to have a good communication with the photographers of Furong Photo Studio.
Feeling that everyone is very enthusiastic, Gu Chen also agreed naturally: "That's fine, we will go to Furong Photo Studio in the afternoon."
"That's right." Hearing that Gu Chen finally agreed, Police Officer Wang snapped his fingers and said, "Gu Chen, show your face when you should."
"You're like Xiao Yang and Master Xi, you are so outstanding, you only took one promotional photo on the stage and on the calendar, and you were still standing in the crowd."
"The four of us all have personal portrait photos. When visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year, bang, send a desk calendar and a wall calendar. Isn't it embarrassing for Bel?"
Police officer Wang is not like Gu Chen. Comrade Wang has been a fisherman for many years, so he naturally knows that this kind of opportunity is hard to come by.
I had just joined the police force for the first year, and I had a chance to be photographed, mainly because of my good image.
At that time, standing behind many big shots as the background, it was different now, and he was the proper protagonist.
Of course, Comrade Wang also knew that it was all thanks to Gu Chen.
Every year, Jiangnan City recruits many new policemen. Who knows if there will be new policemen who surpass Gu Chen in appearance and potential?
These days, everyone is familiar with the old faces, and the police system's desk calendar also has an unwritten rule, that is, among the new police officers every year, select some police officers with good images as poster characters.
Officer Wang took advantage of this back then.
But if there is no suitable candidate among the new police officers, then the old faces with good temperament still have a great chance.
In recent years, Qin Gang, Zhao Guozhi, Xiao Yang, Master Xi and Old Wang have all been on desk and wall calendars, but not many times.
But ever since Gu Chen came to the Jiangnan police system, it seems that such good things have been chasing after him.
After several years in the police force, almost every year the beautiful job of shooting the police system calendar would fall on Gu Chen.
Therefore, it is normal for Gu Chen to feel numb, but Police Officer Wang seems to never tire of it.
……
……
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, after finishing the work at hand, Gu Chen drove to the entrance of Furong Photo Studio with Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha.
This is the cooperation unit for each image photo taken by everyone.
Furong Photo Studio is also one of the earliest photo studios in Jiangnan City.
It belonged to the state-run photo studio at the time, but after the reform of private ownership, it was contracted out by the photography team of the year, and it has continued to this day.
But after years of baptism, the shooting style of Furong Photo Studio has not changed much, and sometimes it can't even keep up with the shooting standards of some Internet celebrity photographers.
However, as an old-fashioned photo studio, relying on the long-term cooperative relationship with many enterprises and institutions, it can still receive many orders.
Many of the promotional posters and promotional materials of the Jiangnan Public Security Bureau are in cooperation with Furong Photo Studio.
In addition to the photo studio, there is a Furong advertising company next door, which belongs to the same company as the photo studio.
Relying on orders from enterprises and institutions, I have been living happily ever after.
After Gu Chen parked his private car, he picked up his police cap, got out of the car with everyone, and walked directly towards Furong Photo Studio.
The photo studio is located near an intersection in Chengnan Old Street.
You need to follow the stairs on the first floor to the second floor.
At this moment, the photographers and makeup artists of Furong Photo Studio are taking pictures of some children for New Year greetings.
When a middle-aged female photographer saw Gu Chen and the others, she hurried over to say hello.
"Officer Gu, we meet again." Since Furong Photo Studio is responsible for Gu Chen's image promotion photos every year, the female photographer is quite familiar with Gu Chen and the others.
"Photographer Liu, are you busy?" Gu Chen knew that this person was Liu Ying, so he said it casually and grinned.
"Yeah, it's the end of the new year, and many units are coming to shoot. Isn't there a youth group that wants to shoot a group of New Year's greetings photos, so the time is quite rushed."
Seeing that Gu Chen and the others just came over, but they couldn't shoot right away, Liu Ying couldn't help but apologized and said, "It may take a while, can you wait here?"
"Sure." Lu Weiwei didn't care.
After all, Zhao Guozhi gave everyone approval to hand over the matter at hand to Furong Photo Studio in the afternoon.
Therefore, everyone has only one task in the afternoon, which is to take pictures of their images, and then ask Furong Photo Studio to take the photos of several people to the Furong Advertising Company next door to make them into desk calendars and wall calendars ordered by the police force, and then send them To the major branch units, as the New Year's goods of the police force.
"That's great, thank you for your understanding." Liu Ying put her hands together and bowed to several people a few times, she was also very grateful.
Then let a photography assistant take everyone to rest.
I returned to the studio to instruct apprentice photographers how to shoot.
In the studio, the children were dressed in costumes of the God of Wealth, standing behind the green cloth, posing in various poses.
Afterwards, these image videos will be made into various New Year greeting videos and promotional photos.
"It seems that we came at the wrong time." Sitting on the narrow row of chairs, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but sigh:
"This place is too small. How many years has the Furong photo studio been? Compared with other photo studios, this place is so simple that it doesn't even have decoration. I guess it hasn't been renovated in more than ten years, right? Other photo studios have been renovated in two or three years. once."
"Can this be compared?" Erlang crossed his legs and looked at Police Officer Wang who was filming in the studio, and couldn't help jokingly said:
"This Furong photo studio should be regarded as an ancient business card of Jiangnan City. I can say that, but any citizen of Jiangnan City must have taken photos here."
"Whether it's a passport photo or an image photo of a family portrait, I've been there at least a few times."
"That's right." Hearing Officer Wang's words, Gu Chen also explained with a light smile: "My primary and secondary school ID photos are all taken here."
"During middle school, the photo studio sent people to the school to help take pictures. At that time, Photographer Liu was just an assistant apprentice, and the curator was always with him."
"Haha, so, this photo studio does not rely on any fancy decoration, but relies on the reputation accumulated over the years." Officer Wang also echoed.
When Lu Weiwei heard what the two said, she couldn't help but clicked her tongue and said: "From what you said, I feel that this photo studio is indeed very powerful. Anyway, they seem to be in charge of my high school graduation photos."
"The general feeling is that the level of photography is average, and there is nothing special about it, that is, it is better to take this kind of corporate image photos, and group photos."
"Hush!" Feeling that Lu Weiwei was a little unscrupulous, Police Officer Wang hurriedly covered Lu Weiwei's mouth and reminded:
"Can you keep your voice down? They are still taking pictures in the studio? You say that their skills are not good. If people hear this, they probably won't give you a photo after the shooting is completed."
"Hehe." Hearing Officer Wang's words, Lu Weiwei said indifferently, "How nice it is not to see them every time? I basically don't have any pictures of Lu Weiwei in Jiangnan, neither does Junior Brother Gu, and neither does Xiao Yuan."
Looking Comrade Lao Wang up and down, Lu Weiwei also teased: "It's just you, Lao Wang, who made you a little face, even paler than me."
"Haha." Hearing Lu Weiwei's remarks, Yuan Shasha also agreed: "It's true, it feels whiter than Senior Sister Lu, which is a bit too much."
"Hey, hey, don't bring such hurtful things." Feeling a little embarrassed, Officer Wang quickly interrupted: "Let them help me be more white and better, after all, I look young."
"This image photo is also a face-saving photo. Can't you take a better photo when giving gifts during the New Year? Do you think everyone is like you, with 360-degree looks without dead ends? Don't you know that time is not forgiving?"
"But when you reach my age, you probably have more demands than me."
"Haha."
Seeing that Lao Wang was still impatient, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha also laughed from ear to ear.
The studio over there feels very busy, and it probably won't be over in a while.
Especially for the dozen or so children, they felt that they were all dressed in fashion, with average looks, and looked like child models.
Especially when the photographer mentioned the youth group just now, I think it should be the children's model dance team.
In the past few years, more and more child stars have been produced, and many parents with good family conditions will send their children to the teenage model team for training to improve their children's temperament.
In fact, Gu Chen met an elder sister with a good family background in the early years. At that time, children's models were just emerging.
Therefore, this eldest sister, with her son who is a few years old, shines on the stage of children's models all over the country, and has also participated in many film and television shootings.
In recent years, the cold winter of film and television has caused many film and television practitioners to start to find their own way out.
Therefore, children's model training came into being, and the brokerage companies of many youth groups also began to bloom everywhere.
Just look at the children's models in Furong Photo Studio, at least from two units.
So the progress of this shooting is worrying.
Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha leaned together, sitting on the bench and playing with their mobile phones, killing the boring time.
Officer Wang squinted his eyes to rest, to catch up on a good night's sleep.
Gu Chen was bored in every possible way, so he could only stand on the side of the studio and watch the shooting progress of the youth group.
"Who ordered the milk tea?"
At this moment, a delivery guy walked up to the second floor with a big bag of milk tea, and also yelled at the studio.
"I ordered it." Upon hearing this, a middle-aged fat woman turned around and walked out of the studio.
"Here." The takeaway boy panted, and also handed the milk tea to the woman.
After a few brief exchanges, the delivery boy turned and left.
At this moment, the middle-aged fat woman also began to distribute the milk tea in her hand to several members of the youth group around her.
This youth group is waiting for the previous group's filming, so Gu Chen concluded that his own filming may be after this youth group.
Thinking about the long wait, Gu Chen couldn't help shaking his head, feeling that he should communicate with Furong Photo Studio in advance.
However, the city bureau arranged for everyone to shoot this afternoon. I feel that Furong Photo Studio did not arrange it properly and squeezed all the shooting time together.
Bored in every possible way, Gu Chen then walked out of the photo studio, followed the stairs to the first floor, and was going to a nearby convenience store to buy some bottles of water for everyone.
When passing by a convenience store, Gu Chen found a delivery boy standing at the door, who was the one who delivered the milk tea before.
At this moment, the takeaway guy was holding a bowl of instant noodles and was still on the phone, exchanging greetings on the other end of the phone from time to time.
"Mom, don't worry, I'm doing well here. Well, I've transferred this month's money to you. It's cold, so let's buy a new padded jacket."
After a pause, the takeaway boy said again: "Yes, I eat here and wear warm clothes. I have a big meal at noon today. My friend treats guests. Yes, don't worry. Remember to buy a new cotton jacket. Okay, then I have a little I'll hang up first, okay, Mom, you also pay attention to your body..."
After a burst of kind "lies", the delivery boy hung up the phone, picked up the instant noodles in his hand again, and started to gobble it up.
Gu Chen walked to the counter, put 5 bottles of mineral water on the counter, and asked, "Boss, how much is it?"
"10 yuan!" said the boss.
"Give me a bag." Gu Chen turned on his phone and scanned the QR code to pay.
The boss took out a red bag from the counter and handed it to Gu Chen.
After packing the mineral water, Gu Chen walked to the door of the convenience store, and handed a bottle of mineral water to the takeaway boy who was squatting on the ground eating instant noodles.
The takeaway boy couldn't help being stunned, and looked up at Gu Chen in front of him.
Gu Chen smiled slightly, handed it to him and said, "Take it."
"Thank you." The delivery boy also recognized Gu Chen, who was the policeman who was in the Furong photo studio next door just now.
Gu Chen blew a few times on the steps at the entrance of the convenience store, and sat directly next to the delivery boy.
Seeing this, the delivery guy changed from squatting on the ground to sitting on the steps beside Gu Chen, and asked, "Did the police comrades come here to take pictures?"
"Yes." Gu Chen nodded slightly, and also grinned: "The Municipal Bureau asked us to come and take pictures, and then use the photos to make desk calendars and wall calendars."
"Then you may have to wait for a long time." The takeaway boy seemed to know the current situation of Furong Photo Studio very well, so he couldn't help sharing and said:
"Their business has been very good recently, and many enterprises and institutions are looking for them to take pictures."
"Like their photo studio, many photographers are sent out to take pictures, and the store is also very busy. It feels like there are fewer people this afternoon, but at least you have to wait for an hour, or even longer."
"You seem to know this very well?" Gu Chen also has free time now, so he simply chatted with this delivery guy.
The delivery guy grinned, and while eating the instant noodles, he said jokingly, "I often deliver food in this area, and I am familiar with the situation here, especially the merchants on this street."
Seeing that Gu Chen and the delivery guy were sitting on the steps of the convenience store, the elderly boss quickly moved two small wooden stools and politely brought them to him: "Comrade police, it's cold on the ground, you sit here Bar."
"Thank you, boss." After taking the small wooden stools from the warm-hearted boss, Gu Chen handed one of them to the delivery boy.
The two sat down side by side again.
Gu Chen asked the delivery guy, "Are you from outside?"
"Yeah." The delivery guy nodded silently, and said with a smile: "My family is in the northwest, I study here, and after graduation, I will stay and work here."
"Then what major do you study?" Gu Chen was not surprised when he heard what the delivery boy said.
After all, there are many college students who deliver food now, and even many graduate students join in. These are all supported by data.
The delivery guy also grinned, and echoed, "I'm majoring in civil engineering. Because the last work unit has already been completed, I have nothing to do."
"So in the past two months, I haven't found a suitable next job, so I want to wait until next year to find another new company."
"A few years ago, I just delivered food, and I felt like I could earn some money for the New Year."
"So that's the case?" Hearing what the delivery guy said, Gu Chen nodded silently.
I feel like this is a thoughtful worker.
Especially the conversation between the delivery boy and his mother just now, Gu Chen also heard it all.
This made Gu Chen suddenly feel that there seem to be two kinds of people in this world, one kind of people think eating instant noodles is very happy, while the other kind of people think they are very depressed.
And the takeaway boy next to him seems to be the first type of person, and eating instant noodles seems to be a kind of enjoyment for him.
This spicy noodle soup, in the mouth of the delivery boy, feels like the most delicious delicacy in the world.
Gu Chen tried to communicate with him: "Have you had lunch yet?"
The takeaway boy shook his head: "There are a lot of orders recently. In order to grab more orders, I usually miss the time for lunch."
"Usually I have to be busy until two or three o'clock, then eat something casually, replenish, and then rest, and wait for the peak meal time in the evening, and I have to stagger the meal time, otherwise I won't be able to grab the order."
"After all, years ago everyone hoped to make more money."
"Then are you going home for the New Year?" Gu Chen asked him.
The takeaway boy nodded silently: "Yes, I guess I can earn a little more when I go home two days before the New Year's Eve."
"I feel that college students' employment is too serious now. If I don't hold multiple jobs, I don't think I can save much money at all."
After the words fell, the takeaway boy poured the remaining noodle soup into his mouth, there was almost no noodle soup left.
After gulping down two gulps, the delivery boy realized that Gu Chen had handed the tissue to him.
After thanking Gu Chen, the delivery boy threw the garbage into the trash can beside him, took a short rest, and started talking with Gu Chen:
"Comrade police, you must be very busy during Chinese New Year, right?"
"Yes, there are almost no holidays." Gu Chen said.
"Then you work harder than me. I at least do what I want, and I don't if I don't want to. What I do now is deliver food, but there are other jobs that I'm paying close attention to."
"If the income was okay before the year, maybe I won't go back for a while during the Chinese New Year. Making money is the top priority now."
"So hard?" Gu Chen couldn't help being taken aback because he felt that this delivery boy seemed to be a bit of a workaholic.
But looking back, it's a bit similar to myself.
The delivery guy hiccupped, and also smiled at Gu Chen and said, "You can't work hard, the family conditions are poor, so you can only work harder than others."
"Every time I'm in a bad mood, I choose to sleep to escape reality."
Hearing the takeaway brother's remarks, Gu Chen also smiled and said: "From a biological point of view, this should be an act of self-cultivation, but from a psychological point of view, it is a means of isolating from the outside world and sealing oneself off. "
"Hehe, it's about the same." Feeling that it is rare to have free time, chatting with the police, the delivery boy also opened his heart and said:
"Actually, I don't regret being born in a poor family, and I don't complain about being born badly like many people do."
"What can I say? I don't want to come to this world, let alone stay here forever."
"I have seen many so-called 'great gods', the kind of young people who lie flat. They always feel that with the help of sleep, they can return to the state in the mother's womb before birth. It is warm, dark, without pressure, and without pain."
"Isn't this self-paralysis?" Gu Chen felt a little interesting.
The takeaway boy grinned: "It's a little bit, but I'm different. I don't want to stay up late, but I just can't bear to sleep. After all, only that time is free. I just want to do something I like, and keep silent and sleep. It's also my way of escaping everything."
After rubbing his dry, bloody hands, the delivery boy said again: "When I was young, I only did things that I liked, and when I grow up, I only do things that are useful."
"Sometimes I will doubt over and over again what I used to believe deeply, and then overthrow myself in the previous stage."
"With the unknown and confusion, move firmly to the next stage."
After the words fell, the takeaway boy glanced at Gu Chen who was silent beside him.
Gu Chen snorted and echoed, "So the reason why we think growing up is a bad thing is probably because the essence of growing up is self-betrayal. Maybe none of us have become what we like."
"You're so right." The red-nosed takeaway boy also snotted his nose and said:
"I think I will still have many detours to go, and I will be disappointed and regretful because of countless people or things, but everything must wait until the end, and these things will tell me the meaning of life."
Sucking his nose, the delivery boy said again: "The so-called growth, isn't it just to use time to slowly polish your eyes? When you are young, you value it, but when you grow up, you despise it. .”
"You don't have any friends?" Gu Chen felt that he could hear some loneliness and sadness from the delivery guy's words.
The delivery guy shook his head: "I don't know if the migrant workers who share the rent with me count? If they count, then yes, if they don't, then I'm alone."
"Where are your classmates?" Gu Chen asked again.
The takeaway boy shook his head: "After graduation, everyone is busy with work, and some continue to take the postgraduate entrance examination. Anyway, at the beginning, they would chat in various ways in the class group. Now they basically don't talk much. They should be quite busy. "
"Besides, I'm not doing very well either, so I'm too embarrassed to contact them."
Glancing at the Furong photo studio next door, the delivery guy frowned at Gu Chen: "Comrade policeman, do you know? They work as part-time photographers in the photo studio, and they earn a pretty good salary. I've already inquired about it."
"On their side, before and after the Chinese New Year, orders are simply too busy, so they will recruit some part-time photographers."
"That is, they take the order, we are responsible for completing the work of receiving the order, and then the income is divided in half, and they can provide the equipment."
"So you want to be a part-time photographer?" Gu Chen asked him.
The takeaway boy nodded, and said yes: "For now, yes, so I'm not sure if they want me. After all, when I was in school, I used to have a good time with friends from the Photography Association."
"My roommate belongs to the Photography Association. He has a SLR camera. When he was studying, he touched it a lot, so I know photography and post-production."
"Now we're waiting for their work arrangement. If a photographer needs to ask for leave before or after the Chinese New Year, I can go straight to it. Anyway, one order is one order, and the income is not bad."
"Hehe." Hearing the takeaway brother's words, Gu Chen also grinned, and said involuntarily, "You are quite well informed?"
"That's a must." The takeaway boy seemed to have chatted with Gu Chen, and said with a smile:
"These days, if you want to make money, you have to take advantage of the information gap."
"Now is the era of mobile Internet for all people. The situation of poor information back then basically no longer exists."
"However, this kind of industry information is poor, as long as you have more contact, you can take the lead."
Pointing at himself, the delivery boy said again: "Don't look at me delivering food every day until I don't have time to eat. In fact, through delivering food, I basically have a good relationship with the merchants on these streets."
"I usually have a sweeter mouth, and everyone is willing to communicate with you, such as Furong Photo Studio, I often deliver food to them, and I get acquainted with the photographers there."
"That's why I knew that they needed a part-time photographer during the Chinese New Year, so I wanted to try it. This is the opportunity."
"It's pretty amazing." Feeling that this young takeaway boy is not simple, Gu Chen couldn't help giving a thumbs up and said:
"But don't you like loneliness? So making money can eliminate loneliness?"
"It should be?" Unscrewing the bottle cap, drinking the mineral water that Gu Chen sent, the delivery boy was also thoughtful:
"Actually, I hate all festivals. This kind of strong festival atmosphere and the joy of others will only aggravate my sense of loss when I am alone."
Turning his head to look at Gu Chen, the delivery boy said again: "But even so, every New Year's Eve, I will still find a good and lively place to hide among the crowd celebrating the festival, and try to blend in with their carnival."
"After all, I still believe that there will always be a colored light on the street for me."
"When I get home, I can lie on the sofa, drink hot milk tea, and spend 17 hours re-reading the entire Harry Potter."
Seeing that he was talking to himself, Gu Chen kept staring at him again, the takeaway boy recovered from the state just now, and grinned at Gu Chen:
"Haha, just kidding, in fact, it's good for me to watch "Chain Saw" by myself."
"After all, festivals only make happy people happier and lonely people lonelier. I don't hate festivals, but I hate the strong sense of loneliness after festivals."
"Actually, I'm really afraid that after the excitement, people will be very sad if they leave the tea to cool down."
"So carnival is the loneliness of a group of people, and loneliness is the carnival of one person." Gu Chen continued.
The delivery guy grinned, nodded in agreement, and then said:
"Did you know? When I first graduated, I was filled with boundless enthusiasm and all kinds of smug ambitions. When I first joined the job, the leaders praised me and said that my hard work would definitely make great achievements."
"But when I made a mistake at work, the leader said, I can't do such a simple thing well, so what use are you for?"
"And when I encountered difficulties and asked for help, the leader said, why are you in trouble? If you don't do well, leave."
Choking up a sob, the takeaway boy also smiled wryly, and continued to tease himself:
"At that time, I felt very anxious, always afraid of making mistakes, but when I fell into anxiety because of work, the leader said, why are you the only one who has too many things? Why is it not like this?"
"Anyway, I always thought that I was not doing well enough or working hard enough, but when I broke down again in the middle of the night, I figured it out."
"The life of accepting unnecessary evaluation and judgment from others every day is just a sheep, at the mercy of others, without self at all."
"And I want to be a wolf, to be my own master. No matter how rough and difficult the road ahead is, I will transform into the wolf who controls my own destiny, because I know that my fate is beyond my control."
Gu Chen didn't know how many stories this delivery guy was hiding in his heart, but at least when he said the phrase "I know my fate is not up to me", Gu Chen felt that he was a ruthless person.
At least he was very cruel to himself, so he also smiled teasingly, and then said: "But sometimes the wolf will take his wife and children hungry, and the sheep will be full when they are obedient, so it is perfect to recognize yourself and what you should do. .”
"No one will come through the fog, you have to see the good scenery by yourself.
"Yes." The takeaway boy put the mineral water on the side, and he was stunned. He also looked at the busy traffic in front of him, and said involuntarily:
"It's like an old cat lying motionless under a tree, quietly waiting for death, there's nothing wrong with that."
"Use absolute sobriety and reason to suppress the emotions you shouldn't have. After all, loneliness is an interesting feeling. It's impossible. Don't wait, don't recall, don't look forward to it."
Turning his head to look at Gu Chen, the delivery guy opened up the chatterbox, couldn't stop at all, and also talked eloquently:
"Comrade police, in fact, everyone is very strange. They hate their own mediocrity, feel that they can't have everything, feel that they can't accept their shortcomings, and just muddle along in the life of reality and fantasy."
Sniffing, the delivery boy continued: "I remember that I used to go to a boarding school in middle school. Every time I left school, I would always meet a big brother who would often sneak out to surf the Internet."
"Once I asked my elder brother, I said, are you not afraid of the guard? What if you are stopped by the guard?"
"Then what did he say?" Gu Chen asked.
The takeaway boy grinned: "The elder brother just smiled and said, stop me, then I will go back to class, if you don't stop me, I will go out."
"At that time, my three views were suddenly opened. It has been many years, but I still think about it often."
"Actually, many things in life are like this. Some things can't just be hypothetical. They need to be acted on and have to constantly try and make mistakes."
"It's like I'm working now. Even if I do a lot of things wrong, it's not as serious as you think."
Seeing Gu Chen staring at him, the delivery boy scratched the back of his head, and said in embarrassment: "Of course, I'm not advocating pleasure and escape. Everyone knows whether it's good or bad. What I mean is that we have to make bold choices. , maybe it will succeed every time, right?"
"Even if I fail, it doesn't matter, at least I'm still making progress, and my social practice experience is constantly accumulating."
Pointing to the street in front of him, he swiped from left to right, and the delivery boy said proudly: "For example, now, I know all the merchants' information on the whole street, and I keep a notebook every day. .”
"I seem to understand my original intention. I like to travel, but I don't have friends to accompany me, but I am afraid of being alone."
"But now I understand that I can go a long way with a person and a cat. I don't need hypocritical communication. I just need to keep my original intention."
"You only need to study at the age when you should study, and make progress when you should work." Turning to look at Gu Chen beside him, he found that Gu Chen had already got up and was about to leave.
The takeaway boy suddenly returned to reality from his narcissism, stood up quickly and said, "Comrade police are leaving?"
"My colleague is urging me." Gu Chen said while holding the phone.
The takeaway boy was a little embarrassed, but also smiled and said: "I'm sorry, comrade policeman, I've been bragging with you here for a long time, and thank you for being my loyal listener."
"You're very good." Gu Chen patted the delivery guy on the shoulder, and smiled in agreement: "I believe you will become famous."

In the new week, ask for votes, with a sincere face. ╰(‵ ′)╯
(End of this chapter)
(two in one chapter)
"Old Wang, when did you become a roundworm in my stomach?" Lu Weiwei felt that what Comrade Wang said was correct.
The end of the year is approaching, and I have indeed begun to slack off at work, and procrastination has also begun to attack.
If it wasn't for following Gu Chen's work rhythm, I'm afraid I'd have to get up again.
Police Officer Wang snorted twice, also jokingly: "I won't tell you what's going on with you, Lu Weiwei. Anyway, if you are under the influence of procrastination, then everything is difficult at the beginning, and it has already expired."
"Because even if you have already started to do it, you will be distracted immediately. After a few minutes of work, you pick up your phone to see what time you leave work, right?"
Glancing at other people in the office, Officer Wang asked again, "Is that right?"
When everyone heard the words, they all bowed their heads in embarrassment.
Many new comrades feel that it is exactly what they want.
It can be seen that Lao Wang still understands everyone.
Seeing this, Police Officer Wang also grinned: "So in the end, I was fishing with my mobile phone for two hours, and I didn't do anything serious."
"Afterwards, I suddenly realized and blamed myself, and if there are more than two things to do at the same time, you are usually doing this thing, thinking about that thing, doing that thing, but thinking about it this matter."
Glancing at Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang also called the name and said: "It's you, Lu Weiwei, who want to play with your mobile phone while doing things, and want to do things while playing with your mobile phone."
"You seem to have everything in your head, but you don't know what you're thinking about at all."
"Superficially busy, but actually dizzy."
"It seems that I have worked hard all day, only to find out in the evening, and it seems that I have not done anything. I procrastinate with my mobile phone at night, and adjust the alarm clock many times in the morning. I am procrastinating."
"But I always think in my heart, wait a little longer, wait a little longer, it's too late, until it's really too late, I just jumped up, and then I realized that it's too bad, there's no time..."
"Old Wang, stop talking." Feeling that Comrade Wang knew her too well, Lu Weiwei quickly covered Officer Wang's mouth, feeling like she had told all the embarrassing things about herself.
Officer Ding also smiled when he saw this: "It's not just you, Lu Weiwei. The Spring Festival is coming soon, and how many people's catchphrase has become 'let's talk about it after the New Year'."
"It's normal to be slack at work a year ago. After all, you've been working for a whole year. By this time, you've almost used up all your prehistoric power."
"If the elders come home and ask, how did you find your girlfriend? You will definitely say, I found it, let's talk about it after the Chinese New Year."
"For those who celebrate the New Year, what else can't we talk about after the New Year? But what if the New Year is really over? Just after the New Year, let's wait until the New Year is over."
Picking up the thermos cup and taking a sip of wolfberry tea, Police Officer Ding also grinned: "This is really tomorrow after tomorrow. There are so many tomorrows. Since there are so many, you might as well procrastinate."
"And you procrastinate and procrastinate, the more you procrastinate, the more lazy you become. Don't bother me if you have nothing to do. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Eh? Old Ding, your doggerel is pretty good, who did you learn it from? Old Wang?" Lu Weiwei also said jokingly.
Police Officer Ding laughed a few times, and joked, "I'm familiar with the group of propaganda, so I can say a few words."
"Their year-end promotional slogans are all this kind of doggerel."
It seems to have thought of something?Officer Ding immediately said: "Oh, by the way, you didn't go to work yesterday, so I forgot to tell you about something."
"What's the matter?" Gu Chen looked up at Lao Ding and asked him curiously.
Officer Ding turned around and came to Gu Chen's side, reminding him, "Yesterday, a police officer from the City Bureau came over and said he wanted me to tell you that this afternoon, go to the Furong Photo Studio to take the promotional photos of the desk calendar of the Jiangnan City Police Force this year. Take a picture."
"Is it another portrait photo?" Gu Chen asked.
Officer Ding nodded silently: "That's right, it's the same as last year."
"Won't the Municipal Bureau change people? It's me every year, isn't that good?" Gu Chen felt that he had shown his face in the police force system enough times.
No matter what, you have to give others a chance to show your face, right?
Officer Dante waved his hands, and said with a smile, "You, Gu Chen, don't shirk, you are appointed by the city bureau, and Lu Weiwei, Lao Wang, oh yes, this time Xiao Yuan will also go."
"The main reason is that the overall image of your group is good. Qin Bureau has also discussed with the leaders of the city bureau, but after choosing and choosing, I feel that the image does not meet the expected requirements."
"So, you have to continue to show your face. As for other things, let's talk about it next year."
"Hey." As soon as Officer Ding finished speaking, Officer Wang walked up to Gu Chen proudly, patted Gu Chen on the shoulder and said:
"Gu Chen, when it's time to perform, you must perform actively so that more people can get to know you every year."
Picking up the wedding candy on Gu Chen's table, Police Officer Wang peeled off one and put it in his mouth, also jokingly said, "What an honor it is to shoot a poster for the police force's calendar?"
"Many people work hard all their lives in the police force in Jiangnan City, and they may not have the opportunity to show their faces. If there is such a good thing, don't shirk it. My Xiaobei is still waiting to show off to the children in the neighborhood with my stationery and wall calendar."
"Yeah, Junior Brother Gu, this is a good thing. At least everyone in the Jiangnan Police Force can see you, and every year, that's good."
Lu Weiwei felt that Gu Chen was just too modest.
Many people want to show their faces, but Gu Chen doesn't care.
This kind of aloof character made Lu Weiwei look anxious.
Fortunately, Gu Chen's strength is here, so he is easily seen by the superiors. If he were to be replaced by other mediocre police officers, he would probably be squeezed out by others.
In fact, there will be "involvement" within the police force, which is normal. Only competition can have work motivation.
At least Lu Weiwei felt that the desk calendar on her desk was not very satisfied with the photos taken last year.
This year, I have this opportunity again, just to have a good communication with the photographers of Furong Photo Studio.
Feeling that everyone is very enthusiastic, Gu Chen also agreed naturally: "That's fine, we will go to Furong Photo Studio in the afternoon."
"That's right." Hearing that Gu Chen finally agreed, Police Officer Wang snapped his fingers and said, "Gu Chen, show your face when you should."
"You're like Xiao Yang and Master Xi, you are so outstanding, you only took one promotional photo on the stage and on the calendar, and you were still standing in the crowd."
"The four of us all have personal portrait photos. When visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year, bang, send a desk calendar and a wall calendar. Isn't it embarrassing for Bel?"
Police officer Wang is not like Gu Chen. Comrade Wang has been a fisherman for many years, so he naturally knows that this kind of opportunity is hard to come by.
I had just joined the police force for the first year, and I had a chance to be photographed, mainly because of my good image.
At that time, standing behind many big shots as the background, it was different now, and he was the proper protagonist.
Of course, Comrade Wang also knew that it was all thanks to Gu Chen.
Every year, Jiangnan City recruits many new policemen. Who knows if there will be new policemen who surpass Gu Chen in appearance and potential?
These days, everyone is familiar with the old faces, and the police system's desk calendar also has an unwritten rule, that is, among the new police officers every year, select some police officers with good images as poster characters.
Officer Wang took advantage of this back then.
But if there is no suitable candidate among the new police officers, then the old faces with good temperament still have a great chance.
In recent years, Qin Gang, Zhao Guozhi, Xiao Yang, Master Xi and Old Wang have all been on desk and wall calendars, but not many times.
But ever since Gu Chen came to the Jiangnan police system, it seems that such good things have been chasing after him.
After several years in the police force, almost every year the beautiful job of shooting the police system calendar would fall on Gu Chen.
Therefore, it is normal for Gu Chen to feel numb, but Police Officer Wang seems to never tire of it.
……
……
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, after finishing the work at hand, Gu Chen drove to the entrance of Furong Photo Studio with Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha.
This is the cooperation unit for each image photo taken by everyone.
Furong Photo Studio is also one of the earliest photo studios in Jiangnan City.
It belonged to the state-run photo studio at the time, but after the reform of private ownership, it was contracted out by the photography team of the year, and it has continued to this day.
But after years of baptism, the shooting style of Furong Photo Studio has not changed much, and sometimes it can't even keep up with the shooting standards of some Internet celebrity photographers.
However, as an old-fashioned photo studio, relying on the long-term cooperative relationship with many enterprises and institutions, it can still receive many orders.
Many of the promotional posters and promotional materials of the Jiangnan Public Security Bureau are in cooperation with Furong Photo Studio.
In addition to the photo studio, there is a Furong advertising company next door, which belongs to the same company as the photo studio.
Relying on orders from enterprises and institutions, I have been living happily ever after.
After Gu Chen parked his private car, he picked up his police cap, got out of the car with everyone, and walked directly towards Furong Photo Studio.
The photo studio is located near an intersection in Chengnan Old Street.
You need to follow the stairs on the first floor to the second floor.
At this moment, the photographers and makeup artists of Furong Photo Studio are taking pictures of some children for New Year greetings.
When a middle-aged female photographer saw Gu Chen and the others, she hurried over to say hello.
"Officer Gu, we meet again." Since Furong Photo Studio is responsible for Gu Chen's image promotion photos every year, the female photographer is quite familiar with Gu Chen and the others.
"Photographer Liu, are you busy?" Gu Chen knew that this person was Liu Ying, so he said it casually and grinned.
"Yeah, it's the end of the new year, and many units are coming to shoot. Isn't there a youth group that wants to shoot a group of New Year's greetings photos, so the time is quite rushed."
Seeing that Gu Chen and the others just came over, but they couldn't shoot right away, Liu Ying couldn't help but apologized and said, "It may take a while, can you wait here?"
"Sure." Lu Weiwei didn't care.
After all, Zhao Guozhi gave everyone approval to hand over the matter at hand to Furong Photo Studio in the afternoon.
Therefore, everyone has only one task in the afternoon, which is to take pictures of their images, and then ask Furong Photo Studio to take the photos of several people to the Furong Advertising Company next door to make them into desk calendars and wall calendars ordered by the police force, and then send them To the major branch units, as the New Year's goods of the police force.
"That's great, thank you for your understanding." Liu Ying put her hands together and bowed to several people a few times, she was also very grateful.
Then let a photography assistant take everyone to rest.
I returned to the studio to instruct apprentice photographers how to shoot.
In the studio, the children were dressed in costumes of the God of Wealth, standing behind the green cloth, posing in various poses.
Afterwards, these image videos will be made into various New Year greeting videos and promotional photos.
"It seems that we came at the wrong time." Sitting on the narrow row of chairs, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but sigh:
"This place is too small. How many years has the Furong photo studio been? Compared with other photo studios, this place is so simple that it doesn't even have decoration. I guess it hasn't been renovated in more than ten years, right? Other photo studios have been renovated in two or three years. once."
"Can this be compared?" Erlang crossed his legs and looked at Police Officer Wang who was filming in the studio, and couldn't help jokingly said:
"This Furong photo studio should be regarded as an ancient business card of Jiangnan City. I can say that, but any citizen of Jiangnan City must have taken photos here."
"Whether it's a passport photo or an image photo of a family portrait, I've been there at least a few times."
"That's right." Hearing Officer Wang's words, Gu Chen also explained with a light smile: "My primary and secondary school ID photos are all taken here."
"During middle school, the photo studio sent people to the school to help take pictures. At that time, Photographer Liu was just an assistant apprentice, and the curator was always with him."
"Haha, so, this photo studio does not rely on any fancy decoration, but relies on the reputation accumulated over the years." Officer Wang also echoed.
When Lu Weiwei heard what the two said, she couldn't help but clicked her tongue and said: "From what you said, I feel that this photo studio is indeed very powerful. Anyway, they seem to be in charge of my high school graduation photos."
"The general feeling is that the level of photography is average, and there is nothing special about it, that is, it is better to take this kind of corporate image photos, and group photos."
"Hush!" Feeling that Lu Weiwei was a little unscrupulous, Police Officer Wang hurriedly covered Lu Weiwei's mouth and reminded:
"Can you keep your voice down? They are still taking pictures in the studio? You say that their skills are not good. If people hear this, they probably won't give you a photo after the shooting is completed."
"Hehe." Hearing Officer Wang's words, Lu Weiwei said indifferently, "How nice it is not to see them every time? I basically don't have any pictures of Lu Weiwei in Jiangnan, neither does Junior Brother Gu, and neither does Xiao Yuan."
Looking Comrade Lao Wang up and down, Lu Weiwei also teased: "It's just you, Lao Wang, who made you a little face, even paler than me."
"Haha." Hearing Lu Weiwei's remarks, Yuan Shasha also agreed: "It's true, it feels whiter than Senior Sister Lu, which is a bit too much."
"Hey, hey, don't bring such hurtful things." Feeling a little embarrassed, Officer Wang quickly interrupted: "Let them help me be more white and better, after all, I look young."
"This image photo is also a face-saving photo. Can't you take a better photo when giving gifts during the New Year? Do you think everyone is like you, with 360-degree looks without dead ends? Don't you know that time is not forgiving?"
"But when you reach my age, you probably have more demands than me."
"Haha."
Seeing that Lao Wang was still impatient, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha also laughed from ear to ear.
The studio over there feels very busy, and it probably won't be over in a while.
Especially for the dozen or so children, they felt that they were all dressed in fashion, with average looks, and looked like child models.
Especially when the photographer mentioned the youth group just now, I think it should be the children's model dance team.
In the past few years, more and more child stars have been produced, and many parents with good family conditions will send their children to the teenage model team for training to improve their children's temperament.
In fact, Gu Chen met an elder sister with a good family background in the early years. At that time, children's models were just emerging.
Therefore, this eldest sister, with her son who is a few years old, shines on the stage of children's models all over the country, and has also participated in many film and television shootings.
In recent years, the cold winter of film and television has caused many film and television practitioners to start to find their own way out.
Therefore, children's model training came into being, and the brokerage companies of many youth groups also began to bloom everywhere.
Just look at the children's models in Furong Photo Studio, at least from two units.
So the progress of this shooting is worrying.
Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha leaned together, sitting on the bench and playing with their mobile phones, killing the boring time.
Officer Wang squinted his eyes to rest, to catch up on a good night's sleep.
Gu Chen was bored in every possible way, so he could only stand on the side of the studio and watch the shooting progress of the youth group.
"Who ordered the milk tea?"
At this moment, a delivery guy walked up to the second floor with a big bag of milk tea, and also yelled at the studio.
"I ordered it." Upon hearing this, a middle-aged fat woman turned around and walked out of the studio.
"Here." The takeaway boy panted, and also handed the milk tea to the woman.
After a few brief exchanges, the delivery boy turned and left.
At this moment, the middle-aged fat woman also began to distribute the milk tea in her hand to several members of the youth group around her.
This youth group is waiting for the previous group's filming, so Gu Chen concluded that his own filming may be after this youth group.
Thinking about the long wait, Gu Chen couldn't help shaking his head, feeling that he should communicate with Furong Photo Studio in advance.
However, the city bureau arranged for everyone to shoot this afternoon. I feel that Furong Photo Studio did not arrange it properly and squeezed all the shooting time together.
Bored in every possible way, Gu Chen then walked out of the photo studio, followed the stairs to the first floor, and was going to a nearby convenience store to buy some bottles of water for everyone.
When passing by a convenience store, Gu Chen found a delivery boy standing at the door, who was the one who delivered the milk tea before.
At this moment, the takeaway guy was holding a bowl of instant noodles and was still on the phone, exchanging greetings on the other end of the phone from time to time.
"Mom, don't worry, I'm doing well here. Well, I've transferred this month's money to you. It's cold, so let's buy a new padded jacket."
After a pause, the takeaway boy said again: "Yes, I eat here and wear warm clothes. I have a big meal at noon today. My friend treats guests. Yes, don't worry. Remember to buy a new cotton jacket. Okay, then I have a little I'll hang up first, okay, Mom, you also pay attention to your body..."
After a burst of kind "lies", the delivery boy hung up the phone, picked up the instant noodles in his hand again, and started to gobble it up.
Gu Chen walked to the counter, put 5 bottles of mineral water on the counter, and asked, "Boss, how much is it?"
"10 yuan!" said the boss.
"Give me a bag." Gu Chen turned on his phone and scanned the QR code to pay.
The boss took out a red bag from the counter and handed it to Gu Chen.
After packing the mineral water, Gu Chen walked to the door of the convenience store, and handed a bottle of mineral water to the takeaway boy who was squatting on the ground eating instant noodles.
The takeaway boy couldn't help being stunned, and looked up at Gu Chen in front of him.
Gu Chen smiled slightly, handed it to him and said, "Take it."
"Thank you." The delivery boy also recognized Gu Chen, who was the policeman who was in the Furong photo studio next door just now.
Gu Chen blew a few times on the steps at the entrance of the convenience store, and sat directly next to the delivery boy.
Seeing this, the delivery guy changed from squatting on the ground to sitting on the steps beside Gu Chen, and asked, "Did the police comrades come here to take pictures?"
"Yes." Gu Chen nodded slightly, and also grinned: "The Municipal Bureau asked us to come and take pictures, and then use the photos to make desk calendars and wall calendars."
"Then you may have to wait for a long time." The takeaway boy seemed to know the current situation of Furong Photo Studio very well, so he couldn't help sharing and said:
"Their business has been very good recently, and many enterprises and institutions are looking for them to take pictures."
"Like their photo studio, many photographers are sent out to take pictures, and the store is also very busy. It feels like there are fewer people this afternoon, but at least you have to wait for an hour, or even longer."
"You seem to know this very well?" Gu Chen also has free time now, so he simply chatted with this delivery guy.
The delivery guy grinned, and while eating the instant noodles, he said jokingly, "I often deliver food in this area, and I am familiar with the situation here, especially the merchants on this street."
Seeing that Gu Chen and the delivery guy were sitting on the steps of the convenience store, the elderly boss quickly moved two small wooden stools and politely brought them to him: "Comrade police, it's cold on the ground, you sit here Bar."
"Thank you, boss." After taking the small wooden stools from the warm-hearted boss, Gu Chen handed one of them to the delivery boy.
The two sat down side by side again.
Gu Chen asked the delivery guy, "Are you from outside?"
"Yeah." The delivery guy nodded silently, and said with a smile: "My family is in the northwest, I study here, and after graduation, I will stay and work here."
"Then what major do you study?" Gu Chen was not surprised when he heard what the delivery boy said.
After all, there are many college students who deliver food now, and even many graduate students join in. These are all supported by data.
The delivery guy also grinned, and echoed, "I'm majoring in civil engineering. Because the last work unit has already been completed, I have nothing to do."
"So in the past two months, I haven't found a suitable next job, so I want to wait until next year to find another new company."
"A few years ago, I just delivered food, and I felt like I could earn some money for the New Year."
"So that's the case?" Hearing what the delivery guy said, Gu Chen nodded silently.
I feel like this is a thoughtful worker.
Especially the conversation between the delivery boy and his mother just now, Gu Chen also heard it all.
This made Gu Chen suddenly feel that there seem to be two kinds of people in this world, one kind of people think eating instant noodles is very happy, while the other kind of people think they are very depressed.
And the takeaway boy next to him seems to be the first type of person, and eating instant noodles seems to be a kind of enjoyment for him.
This spicy noodle soup, in the mouth of the delivery boy, feels like the most delicious delicacy in the world.
Gu Chen tried to communicate with him: "Have you had lunch yet?"
The takeaway boy shook his head: "There are a lot of orders recently. In order to grab more orders, I usually miss the time for lunch."
"Usually I have to be busy until two or three o'clock, then eat something casually, replenish, and then rest, and wait for the peak meal time in the evening, and I have to stagger the meal time, otherwise I won't be able to grab the order."
"After all, years ago everyone hoped to make more money."
"Then are you going home for the New Year?" Gu Chen asked him.
The takeaway boy nodded silently: "Yes, I guess I can earn a little more when I go home two days before the New Year's Eve."
"I feel that college students' employment is too serious now. If I don't hold multiple jobs, I don't think I can save much money at all."
After the words fell, the takeaway boy poured the remaining noodle soup into his mouth, there was almost no noodle soup left.
After gulping down two gulps, the delivery boy realized that Gu Chen had handed the tissue to him.
After thanking Gu Chen, the delivery boy threw the garbage into the trash can beside him, took a short rest, and started talking with Gu Chen:
"Comrade police, you must be very busy during Chinese New Year, right?"
"Yes, there are almost no holidays." Gu Chen said.
"Then you work harder than me. I at least do what I want, and I don't if I don't want to. What I do now is deliver food, but there are other jobs that I'm paying close attention to."
"If the income was okay before the year, maybe I won't go back for a while during the Chinese New Year. Making money is the top priority now."
"So hard?" Gu Chen couldn't help being taken aback because he felt that this delivery boy seemed to be a bit of a workaholic.
But looking back, it's a bit similar to myself.
The delivery guy hiccupped, and also smiled at Gu Chen and said, "You can't work hard, the family conditions are poor, so you can only work harder than others."
"Every time I'm in a bad mood, I choose to sleep to escape reality."
Hearing the takeaway brother's remarks, Gu Chen also smiled and said: "From a biological point of view, this should be an act of self-cultivation, but from a psychological point of view, it is a means of isolating from the outside world and sealing oneself off. "
"Hehe, it's about the same." Feeling that it is rare to have free time, chatting with the police, the delivery boy also opened his heart and said:
"Actually, I don't regret being born in a poor family, and I don't complain about being born badly like many people do."
"What can I say? I don't want to come to this world, let alone stay here forever."
"I have seen many so-called 'great gods', the kind of young people who lie flat. They always feel that with the help of sleep, they can return to the state in the mother's womb before birth. It is warm, dark, without pressure, and without pain."
"Isn't this self-paralysis?" Gu Chen felt a little interesting.
The takeaway boy grinned: "It's a little bit, but I'm different. I don't want to stay up late, but I just can't bear to sleep. After all, only that time is free. I just want to do something I like, and keep silent and sleep. It's also my way of escaping everything."
After rubbing his dry, bloody hands, the delivery boy said again: "When I was young, I only did things that I liked, and when I grow up, I only do things that are useful."
"Sometimes I will doubt over and over again what I used to believe deeply, and then overthrow myself in the previous stage."
"With the unknown and confusion, move firmly to the next stage."
After the words fell, the takeaway boy glanced at Gu Chen who was silent beside him.
Gu Chen snorted and echoed, "So the reason why we think growing up is a bad thing is probably because the essence of growing up is self-betrayal. Maybe none of us have become what we like."
"You're so right." The red-nosed takeaway boy also snotted his nose and said:
"I think I will still have many detours to go, and I will be disappointed and regretful because of countless people or things, but everything must wait until the end, and these things will tell me the meaning of life."
Sucking his nose, the delivery boy said again: "The so-called growth, isn't it just to use time to slowly polish your eyes? When you are young, you value it, but when you grow up, you despise it. .”
"You don't have any friends?" Gu Chen felt that he could hear some loneliness and sadness from the delivery guy's words.
The delivery guy shook his head: "I don't know if the migrant workers who share the rent with me count? If they count, then yes, if they don't, then I'm alone."
"Where are your classmates?" Gu Chen asked again.
The takeaway boy shook his head: "After graduation, everyone is busy with work, and some continue to take the postgraduate entrance examination. Anyway, at the beginning, they would chat in various ways in the class group. Now they basically don't talk much. They should be quite busy. "
"Besides, I'm not doing very well either, so I'm too embarrassed to contact them."
Glancing at the Furong photo studio next door, the delivery guy frowned at Gu Chen: "Comrade policeman, do you know? They work as part-time photographers in the photo studio, and they earn a pretty good salary. I've already inquired about it."
"On their side, before and after the Chinese New Year, orders are simply too busy, so they will recruit some part-time photographers."
"That is, they take the order, we are responsible for completing the work of receiving the order, and then the income is divided in half, and they can provide the equipment."
"So you want to be a part-time photographer?" Gu Chen asked him.
The takeaway boy nodded, and said yes: "For now, yes, so I'm not sure if they want me. After all, when I was in school, I used to have a good time with friends from the Photography Association."
"My roommate belongs to the Photography Association. He has a SLR camera. When he was studying, he touched it a lot, so I know photography and post-production."
"Now we're waiting for their work arrangement. If a photographer needs to ask for leave before or after the Chinese New Year, I can go straight to it. Anyway, one order is one order, and the income is not bad."
"Hehe." Hearing the takeaway brother's words, Gu Chen also grinned, and said involuntarily, "You are quite well informed?"
"That's a must." The takeaway boy seemed to have chatted with Gu Chen, and said with a smile:
"These days, if you want to make money, you have to take advantage of the information gap."
"Now is the era of mobile Internet for all people. The situation of poor information back then basically no longer exists."
"However, this kind of industry information is poor, as long as you have more contact, you can take the lead."
Pointing at himself, the delivery boy said again: "Don't look at me delivering food every day until I don't have time to eat. In fact, through delivering food, I basically have a good relationship with the merchants on these streets."
"I usually have a sweeter mouth, and everyone is willing to communicate with you, such as Furong Photo Studio, I often deliver food to them, and I get acquainted with the photographers there."
"That's why I knew that they needed a part-time photographer during the Chinese New Year, so I wanted to try it. This is the opportunity."
"It's pretty amazing." Feeling that this young takeaway boy is not simple, Gu Chen couldn't help giving a thumbs up and said:
"But don't you like loneliness? So making money can eliminate loneliness?"
"It should be?" Unscrewing the bottle cap, drinking the mineral water that Gu Chen sent, the delivery boy was also thoughtful:
"Actually, I hate all festivals. This kind of strong festival atmosphere and the joy of others will only aggravate my sense of loss when I am alone."
Turning his head to look at Gu Chen, the delivery boy said again: "But even so, every New Year's Eve, I will still find a good and lively place to hide among the crowd celebrating the festival, and try to blend in with their carnival."
"After all, I still believe that there will always be a colored light on the street for me."
"When I get home, I can lie on the sofa, drink hot milk tea, and spend 17 hours re-reading the entire Harry Potter."
Seeing that he was talking to himself, Gu Chen kept staring at him again, the takeaway boy recovered from the state just now, and grinned at Gu Chen:
"Haha, just kidding, in fact, it's good for me to watch "Chain Saw" by myself."
"After all, festivals only make happy people happier and lonely people lonelier. I don't hate festivals, but I hate the strong sense of loneliness after festivals."
"Actually, I'm really afraid that after the excitement, people will be very sad if they leave the tea to cool down."
"So carnival is the loneliness of a group of people, and loneliness is the carnival of one person." Gu Chen continued.
The delivery guy grinned, nodded in agreement, and then said:
"Did you know? When I first graduated, I was filled with boundless enthusiasm and all kinds of smug ambitions. When I first joined the job, the leaders praised me and said that my hard work would definitely make great achievements."
"But when I made a mistake at work, the leader said, I can't do such a simple thing well, so what use are you for?"
"And when I encountered difficulties and asked for help, the leader said, why are you in trouble? If you don't do well, leave."
Choking up a sob, the takeaway boy also smiled wryly, and continued to tease himself:
"At that time, I felt very anxious, always afraid of making mistakes, but when I fell into anxiety because of work, the leader said, why are you the only one who has too many things? Why is it not like this?"
"Anyway, I always thought that I was not doing well enough or working hard enough, but when I broke down again in the middle of the night, I figured it out."
"The life of accepting unnecessary evaluation and judgment from others every day is just a sheep, at the mercy of others, without self at all."
"And I want to be a wolf, to be my own master. No matter how rough and difficult the road ahead is, I will transform into the wolf who controls my own destiny, because I know that my fate is beyond my control."
Gu Chen didn't know how many stories this delivery guy was hiding in his heart, but at least when he said the phrase "I know my fate is not up to me", Gu Chen felt that he was a ruthless person.
At least he was very cruel to himself, so he also smiled teasingly, and then said: "But sometimes the wolf will take his wife and children hungry, and the sheep will be full when they are obedient, so it is perfect to recognize yourself and what you should do. .”
"No one will come through the fog, you have to see the good scenery by yourself.
"Yes." The takeaway boy put the mineral water on the side, and he was stunned. He also looked at the busy traffic in front of him, and said involuntarily:
"It's like an old cat lying motionless under a tree, quietly waiting for death, there's nothing wrong with that."
"Use absolute sobriety and reason to suppress the emotions you shouldn't have. After all, loneliness is an interesting feeling. It's impossible. Don't wait, don't recall, don't look forward to it."
Turning his head to look at Gu Chen, the delivery guy opened up the chatterbox, couldn't stop at all, and also talked eloquently:
"Comrade police, in fact, everyone is very strange. They hate their own mediocrity, feel that they can't have everything, feel that they can't accept their shortcomings, and just muddle along in the life of reality and fantasy."
Sniffing, the delivery boy continued: "I remember that I used to go to a boarding school in middle school. Every time I left school, I would always meet a big brother who would often sneak out to surf the Internet."
"Once I asked my elder brother, I said, are you not afraid of the guard? What if you are stopped by the guard?"
"Then what did he say?" Gu Chen asked.
The takeaway boy grinned: "The elder brother just smiled and said, stop me, then I will go back to class, if you don't stop me, I will go out."
"At that time, my three views were suddenly opened. It has been many years, but I still think about it often."
"Actually, many things in life are like this. Some things can't just be hypothetical. They need to be acted on and have to constantly try and make mistakes."
"It's like I'm working now. Even if I do a lot of things wrong, it's not as serious as you think."
Seeing Gu Chen staring at him, the delivery boy scratched the back of his head, and said in embarrassment: "Of course, I'm not advocating pleasure and escape. Everyone knows whether it's good or bad. What I mean is that we have to make bold choices. , maybe it will succeed every time, right?"
"Even if I fail, it doesn't matter, at least I'm still making progress, and my social practice experience is constantly accumulating."
Pointing to the street in front of him, he swiped from left to right, and the delivery boy said proudly: "For example, now, I know all the merchants' information on the whole street, and I keep a notebook every day. .”
"I seem to understand my original intention. I like to travel, but I don't have friends to accompany me, but I am afraid of being alone."
"But now I understand that I can go a long way with a person and a cat. I don't need hypocritical communication. I just need to keep my original intention."
"You only need to study at the age when you should study, and make progress when you should work." Turning to look at Gu Chen beside him, he found that Gu Chen had already got up and was about to leave.
The takeaway boy suddenly returned to reality from his narcissism, stood up quickly and said, "Comrade police are leaving?"
"My colleague is urging me." Gu Chen said while holding the phone.
The takeaway boy was a little embarrassed, but also smiled and said: "I'm sorry, comrade policeman, I've been bragging with you here for a long time, and thank you for being my loyal listener."
"You're very good." Gu Chen patted the delivery guy on the shoulder, and smiled in agreement: "I believe you will become famous."
