Chapter 544
Wang Dewen was also very happy.

The main reason why police officer Wang was called over and invited him to dinner was because of the connections behind Comrade Old Wang.

It should be said that although Police Officer Wang has been in the criminal investigation team [-] for many years, his network management is all over the entire Jiangnan City.

Wang Dewen also knew this very well, and Police Officer Wang's character was naturally worth mentioning, so he invited him to dinner for the first time.

At this time, Police Officer Wang probably understood what Wang Dewen meant.

A fireman with a severed finger and a member of the Municipal Disabled Persons' Federation, he couldn't help him with this job.

Police Officer Wang immediately patted the table: "I said, Lao Wang, I'll leave the publicity and promotion to me. We have our own official account, and with Gu Chen's popularity, it's no problem to promote a soft article for you. "

"So it's settled then?"

"That's a deal!"

"Hahaha."

The two patted each other, and then quickly sat down to drink tea.

At this time, the middle-aged woman who was serving a big bowl of noodles to the customers outside came over and asked, "Old Wang, have you thought about what to eat tonight? I will arrange for the chef to cook for you first, and I am a bit busy outside." gone."

"How about it..." Wang Dewen handed the order book to the middle-aged woman, and then said: "You can order a set meal in the way I treated guests before."

"Okay then, I'll go and notify the backstage first. When it's ready, I'll call Room No. [-], and then you can come and get it."

"can."

After a brief exchange between the two, the middle-aged woman left again.

Gu Chen was also curious, so he asked Wang Dewen, "Senior Brother Wang, do you divide your treats into batches?"

"That's right." Wang Dewen took a sip of his tea, and then said with a smile: "To tell the truth, you are the third batch I'm treating guests to. There were quite a lot of people in the past two days, but they are not as good as Lao Wang's connections."

"I invited Lao Wang on a special trip today, so that I can reach their connections over the past two days."

"Haha, I just like the way you tell the truth." It was rare for Police Officer Wang to see someone praising him, and he felt extremely happy.

Wang De asked again: "Don't underestimate this Wusheng noodle restaurant. This family opened a shop from Jin Province and went all the way south until they opened Wusheng noodle restaurant on the territory of Jiangnan City."

"In the future, their family will continue to open noodle restaurants in other cities to help these disabled people find employment and enable them to master survival skills."

"This eldest sister is really caring. Could it be for her family?" Lu Weiwei asked.

Wang Dewen nodded silently, lost the relaxation just now, and sighed instead: "The younger sister of the proprietress was congenitally deaf since she was a child. She and her younger sister opened a knife-cut noodle restaurant in Jin Province very early."

"This business has been going on for many years, and many of them are old customers, who are very familiar with them. Moreover, the two sisters are in the local area, and they have been making noodles for three generations, and their craftsmanship is not to mention."

"But one day, a deaf-mute suddenly saw the proprietress communicating with his younger sister in sign language. Out of curiosity, the deaf-mute summoned up his courage and went to the shop to ask the proprietress if he was hiring. He surprised the proprietress. Living."

"So since then, the business of the two sisters has been getting better and better. In the first store, besides the two sisters, there are also seven cooks and waiters, all of whom are deaf and aged from their twenties to their fifties. Mute."

"It's amazing." Lu Weiwei couldn't believe it. She felt that she was ignorant before, so she asked again: "Then what happened later? Has the store started to be a national chain?"

"Almost." Wang Dewen drank his tea and said slowly, "During a trip, the two sisters found another storefront in Jiangbei for rent, so they came up with the idea of ​​opening another store in Jiangbei City, and only for deaf-mute people. .”

"Actually, there's no reason, it's just that they can understand the difficulties of deaf-mute people and want to provide them with a way to make a living. It's as simple as that."

"Because my younger sister is deaf-mute, the proprietress didn't dare to bring her classmates to play at home since she was a child, because she was afraid that they would laugh at her when they knew that my sister was deaf-mute."

"However, she has always kept in mind her mother's teachings, that is, she must take good care of her younger sister."

"Later, after the Wusheng noodle restaurant in Jiangbei opened, the business was stable, so the proprietress considered opening another one in Jiangnan City."

"Because I contacted the Jiangnan City Disabled Persons' Federation before, I was also the one to connect, so helping the two sisters open this store is also part of my job, because they have insisted on recruiting deaf-mute people for 10 years."

"The restaurant waiters you see are only a small part of the applicants. Most of them are still looking forward to opening new restaurants so that they can have a decent job."

"Because this circle is very small, many deaf-mute people and their whole families joined the battle to promote it. Since there are deaf-mute people in the family, there are also a lot of deaf-mute friends who come to eat."

Officer Wang nodded: "I just saw that these waiters are proficient in their work, don't they need to receive certain training?"

"Training is definitely necessary." Wang Dewen also smiled and said, "Pre-job training is the most important link. These deaf-mute people know that it is not easy for them to find a job, and the proprietress can communicate effectively with them because she knows sign language."

"It was difficult to communicate with customers at the beginning, but it was all thanks to the lady boss who was busy in the middle. Slowly, there were more and more customers, and many of them were repeat customers."

"It may be related to everyone's love. Many customers see that there are deaf people in the store, but they are willing to eat here often."

"I was afraid that the noodles made by these people were not good, so I ate here for several days. I found that their noodles were delicious. I never felt that there was any problem communicating with them. I even learned a little bit. Sign Language."

"Haha." Hearing what Wang Dewen said, Police Officer Wang laughed and said, "I never thought that the first time the iron rooster plucked its feathers was from helping the disabled in a noodle restaurant. Old Wang, it seems that I misunderstood you."

"You must think that I want to borrow money from you, right?" Wang Dewen raised his brows and said with a smile, "It's okay, those guys thought so too."

"For me, I used to be a bit stingy, but now I help Wusheng noodle shop, I can put all the debts I owed you in Wusheng noodle shop."

"Old Wang, it's serious." Police officer Wang waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Although my old Wang has handed in his salary, he is not as stingy as you said. I knew we had a dinner together before, but you didn't want to Go, we forced you to pass, these are past tense, don’t mention it.”

"Does that require us to do something?" Gu Chen asked.

Wang Dewen thought about it, and then he snapped his fingers and said, "Don't mention it, there is something that needs your help."

Gu Chen smiled: "Senior Brother Wang, you are welcome, you can impress Senior Brother Wang, so of course we juniors have to do our best."

"Little brother, I feel at ease with your words, so you might as well just say it." After thinking about it, Wang Dewen took out a record sheet from his pocket, and spread it out on the table.

"Well, with the help of the Jiangnan City Disabled Persons' Federation, this Wusheng noodle restaurant will definitely open a chain. To open a chain, we need to recruit deaf-mute employees, but there is a problem."

"These deaf-mute people who come to apply for jobs don't live in the same place, and some are in remote rural areas."

"So, our disabled people's federation discussed with the proprietress, and decided to rent a house for them nearby, install air-conditioning, and take care of food and housing."

"In this way, more and more deaf-mute people who already have low self-esteem will come here attracted by the name."

"When the time comes, we will try our best to help them and provide them with a decent job."

"When each of them first came, they might not know anything, but we, the Disabled Persons' Federation and the proprietress, can teach them some basic dumb language and Chinese characters while teaching them how to cut noodles and mix cold dishes."

Lu Weiwei chuckled: "Aren't these people amazing, they can master a survival skill just like ordinary people?"

"That's not true." Hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Wang Dewen was still quite proud and said: "I heard from the proprietress that there used to be an orphan in her store, who was also a deaf-mute, and came to learn to work in the proprietress's shop."

"After I left, I often communicated with her. Now I heard from the proprietress that the man opened a noodle shop in the Northeast, and he is quite famous."

"So I think, what this silent noodle shop provides them is not only a platform for part-time jobs, but also hopes that they can learn some skills so that they can support themselves."

"And all deaf-mute people come here, we treat each other sincerely, treat them as our own family members, and give them the skill of making noodles for free. Even if they leave in the future, they can still rely on this skill to survive."

"In the past 10 years, the deaf-mute people who have learned their crafts from the proprietress can earn a living after leaving. I haven't counted the exact number of them, but I am happy for them that they can live on this."

After Gu Chen finished listening, he nodded frequently, and then said: "Brother Wang, I know some friends from TV stations and newspapers, and I think it's right for you Disabled Persons' Federation to help Silent Noodle Restaurant."

"However, relying on the resources in our hands and the spread of contacts is still very limited, it is better to let the media report more, and let the citizens of the entire Jiangnan City know."

"In this way, more and more deaf people will join you, and more and more customers will come to visit here."

"Do you really know people from the TV station and newspaper?" Wang Dewen was still quite surprised.

Gu Chen nodded: "Not only do we know each other, but we also have a good relationship."

"Then that's great." Wang Dewen said gratefully: "Little brother, someday you ask them out, and I'll treat them to a meal."

"No, I'll tell them directly, just let them publish the manuscript, and there's no need to eat, and I won't bother you."

Gu Chen also considered Wang Dewen's financial problems.

After all, in order to help Silent Noodle Shop, it is not an easy task to pluck the iron cock.

Public welfare can be done, but sometimes you have to do what you can.

What's more, Wang Dewen himself is also disabled.

On the way to the noodle shop, Police Officer Wang told Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha about Wang Dewen's deeds.

Wang Dewen, who became a firefighter in his teens, rescued three children from the fire scene in his first mission.

When handing over his ventilator to these children, Wang Dewen didn't even think about it, and he almost couldn't get up again during that operation.

So, in fact, there are no fighters, just a child who changed his clothes, fought in the team, and learned to be brave like his predecessors.

Wang Dewen proved himself with strength...

"Box No. [-]."

Just as everyone was communicating with each other on how to help Silent Noodle Shop, a call came from the front desk.

"It seems that our noodles are ready, I'll get them." Wang Dewen also smiled, and hurriedly prepared to stand up.

Gu Chen pushed him back to his original position: "Brother Wang, let me help you."

"I'm going to help too."

"And I."

Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha also volunteered at the same time.

Wang Dewen smiled: "That's so embarrassing."

"It's okay, it should be."

Without hesitation, the three got up and left the private room.

……

……

Outside, there are still many people waiting in line to pick up meals.

After Gu Chen took the big bowl of noodles and put them on the tray, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha carried them into the private room.

And because Wang Dewen ordered a set meal with a lot of side dishes, the work of picking up the meal was also quite cumbersome.

Fortunately, Gu Chen understands some basic dumb language, and can simply use some non-standard body movements to communicate with the deaf waiters in the restaurant.

"Why aren't my noodles ready yet?" A young man standing next to Gu Chen was quite dissatisfied and said, "I've been waiting for a long time."

"What's your pick-up number, please?" The proprietress was a little flustered.

"No. 056." The man said coldly.

The proprietress looked at the receipt on the table, and then asked, "Is it the one with lung slices?"

"That's right." The man nodded.

"Okay, wait a minute. I have made a few copies just now, but they have already been given to the customer just now. You may need to wait a little longer."

The proprietress is the only member in the store who can communicate with customers in normal language, so she is also a bit busy.

However, the man seemed to be in a bad mood. He frowned and patted the desk with his right hand heavily: "Just now I said wait a moment, I've already waited twice now."

It was also because there was too much movement. In an instant, many diners and restaurant staff all turned their eyes to the man.

But the man didn't seem to mind, his eyes were still extremely indifferent.

"How many servings do you want?" Suddenly, Gu Chen walked to his side and asked, "How many servings of noodles with lung slices do you want?"

"Two copies." The man glanced at Gu Chen and said in a cold tone.

Gu Chen immediately turned around, put two servings of steaming noodles on the front desk from the tray in Yuan Shasha's hand, and said with a smile, "Then you take them first, I'll wait."

"You...give it to me?" The man was startled by Gu Chen's actions, and asked weakly.

Gu Chen nodded: "If you are in a hurry, then you can take it. We have time, so we can wait."

Speaking of this, the man suddenly blushed, lowered his head, and said in frustration: "I'm sorry, I didn't target you."

"It's okay." Gu Chen brought him the noodles at the front desk, then picked up another bowl, and asked, "Where are you sitting? I'll help you."

"Uh... over there." The man was a little embarrassed, nodded, and walked towards a window seat in the restaurant.

Gu Chen asked Yuan Shasha to take the rest of the noodles to the private room first, while he took another bowl of noodles to the man's seat.

"Your noodles." Gu Chen put the noodles on the table.

The man nodded slightly: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." After Gu Chen left, he suddenly found a young woman in a red coat entering the restaurant from the outside.

After looking around for a week, she turned her attention to the man just now.

So he walked over without saying a word and sat directly opposite the man.

Then, she took out her mobile phone and began to scroll the screen boringly.

At this moment, the proprietress walked to Gu Chen's side, and said embarrassedly: "Young man, if you give them the noodles, then you may have to wait a little longer for your share."

"It's okay." Gu Chen smiled and patted the proprietress on the shoulder: "You go and do it first, I'm going outside, there's no rush."

"Then thank you, long live the understanding." The proprietress left with a smile.

Gu Chen also knew that it would be difficult to communicate in order to run a silent noodle restaurant, and it was understandable, so he found a vacant seat closer to the man just now and sat down first, waiting boredly.

"Maybe we are really not suitable?" At this moment, Gu Chen heard the voice of the woman in the red coat just now.

Out of curiosity, Gu Chen looked up.

At this time, the woman in red was holding a big bowl of noodles and devouring it, and she was still muttering: "I found that when I was sad, you were always sadder than me, so why should I be with you? "

The man was a little silent, eating the noodles slowly, as if he was not surprised, his expression was still indifferent.

"Didn't you hear me?" The woman asked again after taking a sip of fresh soup.

"Then what do you want?" The man put down the bowl and chopsticks and looked at him coldly.

The woman frowned slightly, and said again: "You always don't know what I need."

"Then... have you thought about what I need?" The man directly snapped back.

"Hehe." The woman laughed dryly, and said again: "So, it's good for both of us to separate, let's delete each other's friends."

"Okay!" The man's expression didn't seem to change at all, and he agreed directly.

The same is true for women. In Gu Chen's eyes, she seems to have the same troubles as the man, and even their expressions are so synchronized.

At this time, the woman suddenly swiped the phone away, deleted the man's social account, then turned on the screen of the phone in front of the man, and said, "I have already deleted it, you pay for this meal, goodbye."

After finishing speaking, the woman picked up her handbag and left the restaurant without looking back, leaving only the unfinished half bowl of noodles still steaming.

The man smiled, shook his head and continued eating noodles.

At this time, the man's cell phone rang suddenly, but he didn't answer it.

A few minutes later, it was the second pass, the third pass, the fourth pass...

Maybe it was because the ringtone was too loud to affect his mood. When the phone rang to the fifth, the man finally put down his chopsticks and answered the call calmly: "Hello?"
