Chapter 440 My buddy is a thief
The fat boss...the memory of being imprisoned in a nursing home was brought out.
"Let's go, we must go and see it." Gu Lu said immediately.
The two of them went to No. 37 Middle School, a kilometer or two away, had dinner and then took a walk.
The fat boss’s shop is located in the alley behind the junior high school of No. 37 Middle School (now the high school). Gu Lu’s face is complicated. It’s not that he is timid about being close to home, but he is mainly worried that the shop will be closed. After all, who will go there in 2019? PS game store.
"Look, that big balloon." Fan Xiaotian said, pointing to the landmark in the distance.
Gu Lu looked back and saw that the thing was the planet B375, which represented the little prince's hometown.
"My cousin works for Didi, and he calls that big balloon the sun in Dukou District." Fan Xiaotian said, "Because he has a house in a nearby community. In the past year or so, many tourists have come here to check in, and there are many places to drive. For big stores, housing prices have increased a lot, and they are basically the highest housing prices in Dukou District.”
Gu Lu was still a little confused in the first half of the sentence, but he understood the second half, which was very true.
The closer you get to the "Ferry Sun", the stronger the grunt smell becomes, and even the crosswalks at traffic lights have star patterns.
About half an hour later, we arrived at our destination - my heart dropped. The former PS game store became a rookie station.
Standing at the door, Gu Lu looked around. The once slanted wire poles and the very grainy buildings had also been demolished and turned into a building that was only completed in 2017. The exterior wall tiles were much smoother.
Only now do I know that the "grainy" texture is made using dry-bonded stone technology, which is made of a variety of colored fine stones and toned cement. It was a popular technology in the 1980s and 1990s. Currently, one building with this type of building will definitely have to be demolished one by one.
"It must be open somewhere else. I'll go and ask." Fan Xiaotian ran to ask. Unexpectedly, he got an unexpected result. He called Gu Lu inside, and the latter came to his senses.
Walking in, I saw the fat boss. The appearance - I don't remember much, but the fleshy waves on my belly are familiar waves.
It's a bit of a reversal. The store has changed, but the people haven't.
"Fat Boss, do you still remember us?" Fan Xiaotian looked at the other party with a confused look on his face and said immediately, "This is Gu Lu, a great writer. His first novel was published on your computer.
His face was full of confusion at first, but the words that followed seemed to trigger a key word, and the fat boss suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, yes, we are a great writer here."
"The older you get, the more handsome you become. I've always seen you as a promising person." The fat boss said and sighed, "It's such a pity that I was sick and hospitalized the year before last and was not at home. My mother came over to pack up my things and sold them as scraps. It was really too bad. Wasted.”
"Oh! Originally, I wanted to keep it as a souvenir." The fat boss didn't know at the moment that he had missed something. Therefore, I only feel a little depressed.
"Fat boss, why are you doing express delivery?" Fan Xiaotian asked.
There are not many people in Cainiao Station usually. Like the vegetable market, it is especially crowded during off-duty hours. Gu and Fan came at a time when there was no one around, so the fat boss didn't need to greet them.
Even if there are people who pick up packages sporadically, the fat boss doesn’t have to worry about it. After all, the staff don’t get paid for nothing.
"As time goes by, there are fewer people playing game consoles. They all go to Internet cafes. There are also those brats who play Dragon Ball and destroy the handles." The fat boss said, "This store is here, don't do anything I felt like I was losing money on everything, so I first worked in convenience stores and then switched to express delivery.”
According to the fat boss, the situation is not bad and he can make ends meet.
The three of them chatted, and the fat boss was very eager to talk, and even wanted to treat the two of them to dinner in the afternoon.
But, "Look, it's almost five o'clock in the pick-up period, and I don't have enough people to walk around. If it's late, I'll treat you to a meal!"
"It's okay! Busy first, work is important." Gu Lu responded with a smile.
It's a bit strange. Fan Xiaotian looked at his former friend. Ever since he found out that the PS store had disappeared, he had been lacking interest. Just now the fat boss said he wouldn't go to dinner, but Gu showed a happy smile. Why?
Others may be happy to save money, but Gu Lu is definitely not that happy. With such success, he must not be short of money...
In fact, Gu Lu's lack of interest was because the place in his memory could no longer be found. But I feel happy that even though the place is gone, the fat boss is still the same.
As expected, it is not the place that carries the memory, but the people.
Then let Gu Lu and Xiaotian have dinner together.
I didn’t know what to eat, so I finally chose the latter between Erzong Hotpot and Commander Hotpot.
"I have to pay for this meal. It's the rule of the people in Wudu. This is also my territory (living here), how can I ask you to pay for it!" Fan Xiaotian stopped Gu Lu with one hand and took out his mobile phone with the other, feeling quite excited.
As everyone knows, when tourists from other places come to Wudu to eat hot pot, they don’t have to go to any big restaurant, they can just find one on the street. More than 80 yuan per person.
And Erzong is relatively expensive. Without drinking water, the per capita price is 145. Xiaotian ran a takeout business and didn't work hard. He only paid four to five thousand a month, so Gu Lu felt there was no need to pay for it.
"I'm just going to Sijiucheng to study. I'm still from Wudu, okay?" Gu Lu said.
"If you really treat me as a friend, don't fight with me for this money." Fan Xiaotian's words became more serious.
This——Gu Lu didn't argue anymore. Let Fan Xiaotian pay, 286 yuan. The boss wiped out the change and charged 285. After all, the two of them drank half a box of beer.
The two separated at the intersection. Gu Lu took a taxi back to the hotel, while Fan Xiaotian decided to walk back to sober up.
After turning a corner, Fan Xiaotian took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to his brothers. "Brothers, please give me two hundred yuan, so you can cover your living expenses quickly." Lepao Weekly Closing, I still have a few days until my salary is paid. ]
[Be economical, the rooster will run as hard as he can when he has no money. ] The brothers said something, but there was no doubt that the small money was coming.
After receiving the WeChat red envelope, Fan Xiaotian felt a sense of alcohol welling up from his throat, and he burped, suffocating himself.
It proves that Fan Xiaotian is not drunk, and he cannot smoke himself when he is drunk.
On the way, Fan Xiaotian walked past a bus stop with two stop signs advertising it, which could protect him from the sun and rain.
On one side is the xx loan that can be settled and withdrawn at any time, and on the other side is [Genius writer Gu Lu invites you to participate in the Little Prince Day on December 28th].
The small print below is about Gu Lu's life and what achievements he has made in terms of books. The articles are as precious as the national treasure giant panda.
This allows passers-by who have never read related works and who are not familiar with Gu Lu to quickly understand what kind of level the writer is.
Awesome...
Feeling that the gap between him and him was too big, Fan Xiaotian called his father the next second.
"Hey dad, do you still remember that my best friend before was Gu Lu. He was really good at writing novels."
"How about it, I'm awesome!"
"What does it mean to have a good friend, but it doesn't mean that I am good? Those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black. To be able to make such powerful friends, doesn't it mean that I am very capable? We also had a hot pot together today. He came back from Sijiu City, It must be my treat.”
Fan Xiaotian screamed, and the smile on his face came from the bottom of his heart.
How do you say something? Girls who love to laugh will not have bad luck.
That's right, there is something he can't refuse.
First of all, we need to know one thing for sure... Gu Lu didn't know this and didn't pay attention to it. The "Little Prince Activity Organization Temporary Headquarters" is not a permanent department. If the first activity fails, there will be no second Little Prince Day, so the department candidates are elites transferred from various units.
In front of Gu Lu, the person in charge, Li Minghai, had no problem calling him the director of the temporary headquarters office, but outside he was the third-in-command of the district, in charge of cultural tourism in Dukou District.
Let’s talk about Lao Xing, the leader of the event logistics team and the leader of the security department of the former police branch. Even Xiaolu, an intern, is not an ordinary person.
So the above situation shows that Section Chief Hu of the Dukou District Detachment is in trouble.
Captain Tang found Section Chief Hu.
Li Minghai expressed his gratitude to Section Chief Hu and asked the detachment leader to strictly handle violations of law enforcement.
At the same time, all the staff in the temporary headquarters office are paying attention to this matter. After all, Section Chief Hu is a "lone seedling" and must be paid close attention to.
Section Chief Hu is also a veteran. He was called to the office by his immediate superior, and his attitude was very good. "Captain Tang, is there something that needs to be handled by our Traffic Order Management Department?"
Look, the stool is only half-full, and Section Chief Hu is sitting upright, he must be up to something.
To be honest, even Captain Tang himself is not so capable of attracting so many people's attention.
You should be content with your knowledge. Captain Tang's inner activities are like this.
"Xiao Hu, how is your work lately?" Captain Tang's opening statement was relatively ordinary and contained murderous intent.
The latest chapter of this book
Take a look at the 16-9 book bar!
Section Chief Hu immediately started reporting.
Even if it requires strict treatment, Hu's approach is too harsh. To be precise, there is something wrong with the way we work. If "no one reports", everything will be fine, but you can report...
Got transferred.
At the same time, the same group of people who violated the rules changed to an education-based approach.
The detachment is moving very quickly, and the Little Prince's Day is imminent!
The meaning of Gu Lu helping to carry the ferry area is Sima Zhao's heart... Wait, this adjective seems to be derogatory. Another word, it means Conan without glasses. Not even a blind person can see that.
He posted relevant updates on Weibo and Bilibili. Gu Lu paused. Anyway, "The Great Duel" was being serialized on Dangdang.com, and the promotion was going smoothly.
The content of time, place and activity links has basically remained unchanged, so I won’t repeat them.
This matter is not just about external motivation, you also need to strive for your own success.
In Dukou District, the occasion was so big that Li Minghai also went there to "make trouble" and got a lot of publicity resources.
It's "making trouble", which is very accurate.
Publicity and distribution was carried out on Wudu Daily, Yilong.com, Wulu Official WeChat account, and other official media channels.
[The "2019 New Year's Eve Little Prince Memorial Day" theme tourism activity officially kicked off, and the activity will last from December 28 to January 3, 2020.
During the event, Ferry Ward will break the "dimension wall" and invite famous manga artists Tadoshi Fujimaki (representative work "Kuroko's Basketball"), Yuuto Tsukuda (representative work "Shoji no Shokuri"), and famous voice actor Nakamura Yuichi (representative work Guests such as Umetaro Nozaki in "Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun"), Satomi Sato (Ritsu Taai Naka in "Shoujo Shoujo") and others.
And we have reached a cooperation with Gu Lu, the writer of "The Little Prince", "Icy Fruit" and "Flatland", and will also be at the event day!
……
We combine work signings, dimensional roaming, cultural performances and other activity scenarios to launch multiple themed activities to invite friends to join us in a wonderful New Year. ]
Gu Lu's link was to the official account of Wudu Tourism. It was a long list, which was not conducive to dissemination.
But fortunately, the heat is still quite high.
"I happen to have a plan to travel to the foggy city, great!"
"It's forbidden, because I can't go, and there's no holiday on New Year's Day."
"Why is there no Kafka Asagiri? Gu Lu was originally a supporting character in Stray Dogs, but his popularity in the voting was so high that he almost joined the protagonist group. Logically speaking, Asagiri should also come, right? In addition, does Kiri want to compete with Rongcheng? Compete for the title of Southwest Two-dimensional Center, hahaha~"
"Gu Lu should be the most respected writer in Neon, right? I remember that there seems to be an association dedicated to studying Gu Lu's works. There are many writers. I heard it is bigger than the Su Shi Research Association."
"Just talk, what are you trying to do? Gu Lu is very good, but he is only a best-selling author. It is impossible for an association to specialize in research, let alone to surpass Su Shi. You have to use your brain and don't follow what others say."
Wait, the public account and Weibo comments are roughly excerpted here, anyway, there are crooked stories at the end.
There is actually a disadvantage to this kind of event, that is, it is impossible to estimate how many people will come, and there are no tickets for sale.
As for estimating from air tickets, not to mention that Fog City is a top five tourist city all year round, it is impossible to tell the difference. Even if it can be sorted out, the ferry district cannot get the aviation data.
Li Minghai handled it directly according to the specifications of the Liberation Monument.
"We mobilized troops and mobilized the police force from Ba District and Po District to maintain order. How big of a battle is this?" Just as Director Qian spoke, another call came to urge him.
The call was from the ferry side. Director Qian answered the call with a very steady attitude because he had seen big scenes.
As the person in charge of the Hongyadong Folk Customs Area, Director Qian felt that asking him to come here to provide guidance would be a bit of a cannonball to swat mosquitoes.
Where did he manage before? The first tens of billions business district!
"How strong can a writer's appeal be?" Director Qian also invited top celebrities on the Internet to Hongyadong to promote.
It’s really top-notch, that’s when just posting a post will get more than 200,000 comments.
The effect is average.
Fortunately, the man himself was from Wudu, so he was working hard for his hometown, and the official said that he was a prostitute in vain.
"Some comrades have good intentions, but they are prone to do bad things with good intentions. No matter whether they are writers or celebrities, one person cannot have much influence on the regional economy." Director Qian knows very well that he writes in Xiaohongshu and Dou every month Publicity on platforms such as music and public accounts is extremely exaggerated.
Tourists must exchange real money!
After the fourth call to urge me, Director Qian also left. I have to say that he was very professional and made changes to the inadequate arrangements in the Dukou area.
Finally, the first Little Prince Day was successfully held under the intensive preparations of Dukou District.
Director Qian is right when he says that a writer’s impression is limited, and few readers will travel because of a book.
But Gu Lu is not an ordinary writer!
On the 28th, my dear, the scene was spectacular.
There were loud gongs and drums, firecrackers blasting, red flags waving, and huge crowds of people.
