Chapter 5 Misunderstanding and Inspiration
Who is here at this time?
With questions, Dukan hurried out.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw five people standing at the door of the store waiting for me.
After looking back and forth a few times, Dukan was sure that these people didn't know each other, so he asked.
"I am the owner of this store, who are you?"
At this time, a woman in her thirties among the five people took the initiative to walk out and said.
"Hello! We are community staff from the street office."
It turned out to be a staff member of the street office.
"Oh! Hello, is there anything you need to contact me?"
Dukan asked.
"Two things. First, we have received the latest notice that the epidemic is outbreak, and the densely populated business premises such as entertainment, catering, Internet cafes should be temporarily closed to avoid group gatherings. Residents should try to stay at home as much as possible from now on and reduce going out. So I hope you can understand and cooperate with your work and close the store immediately. Secondly, we need to conduct a preliminary survey of the community personnel and count your basic information. If you have any needs and help during your stay at home, you can contact our community staff as soon as possible."
Statistics are trivial matters.
Close the door soon?
Dukan was anxious when he heard this.
If the door is closed now, who will deliver lunch boxes to the hospital?
No matter what, it cannot be closed.
"No! My store cannot be closed..."
In reason, Dukan wanted to explain the reasons to these community staff, but he never thought that he would speak out. A tall and thin man on the other side stood up and interrupted him.
"Hey, I said why are you not at all ideologically enlightened? It's a special period and everyone needs to fight this epidemic together. You can't be too selfish. It's just for you to close the store! Could it be that you have made money and you don't want life?"
The man said in a scolding tone, and he was even a bit unpleasant.
When Dukan heard this, he couldn't sit still.
"No, I don't want to make money, but because..."
"No matter what your reason is, now is a special period, and you have the obligation and responsibility to cooperate with the work of the community. Today we are here to communicate with you well. If you refuse to cooperate, we will contact the industrial and commercial departments and police to take compulsory measures, and even hold you accountable for relevant legal responsibilities."
Dukan's words were once again interrupted by a tall and thin man.
Not only that, the woman who seemed to be the leader just now also spoke at this time.
"Young man, I think you are still very young and a businessman, so you should understand. Now we are in trouble in Chuzhou. In a special period, we need everyone to work together to overcome difficulties and win this tough battle. We sincerely hope that you can cooperate with your work and not cause trouble to the country or increase burden to our community."
"Yes! Young man, for your own good, I won't open business during this period."
"To be honest, I asked you to close your business, it's really for your own good. Look at the other stores on this street, they have closed their business on their own initiative, and you are the only one left..."
After the woman finished speaking, the remaining three people began to persuade each other.
In this case, Dukan had no chance to explain.
Moreover, the loud persuasion of several people in the community attracted a crowd of people bypassers. Even a few passers-by who were unreasonable even pointed the finger at Dukan after hearing this one-sided remark and began to persuade him.
"Young man! Be conscious and actively cooperate with the work of the community, and don't mess around..."
"Don't be stubborn, be obedient, close the door quickly!"
"Why is this kid so scared? Be obedient, please shut it down quickly."
For a moment, Dukan seemed to be a sinister who was unforgivable and everyone was punished.
Looking at the eyes that everyone was incomprehensible and listening to their reprimanding words, an unprecedented sense of grievance suddenly surged out of his heart, almost piercing Dukan's tear glands.
"Congratulations on your wealth, congratulations on your wealth..."
Fortunately, the phone rang at this time.
"Sorry, I'll answer the phone first."
As he said that, Dukan was not in a hurry to explain, but turned around and took out his cell phone.
"Hello!"
"Hello, Boss Du! I heard where can you deliver lunch boxes?"
The phone call was connected and the voice of a strange man came from the other end.
"Send lunch boxes? Yes! But at present, I only deliver lunch boxes to frontline medical staff. As for other units or private individuals, I have to wait a few days. If there is enough staff, I will accept orders here."
Dukan thought for a while and said.
"That's great! I am a doctor in the emergency department of the Third Hospital of the Municipal Hospital. My surname is Qin. I just heard from a colleague in the fever department that Boss Du, you can deliver lunch boxes. Can you please send twenty lunch boxes to our emergency department now? Our emergency medical staff have not had a meal since the morning, and several female colleagues almost fainted from hunger..."
"Ah? I haven't eaten until now. I'm still hungry! Okay, no problem, I'll cook for you immediately and try to get an hour. No, I'll prepare it for you within forty minutes."
"Really? Thank you so much, Boss Du. On behalf of all our colleagues in the emergency department, I would like to thank you! Thank you!"
"Doctor Qin, you are polite! Compared to you medical staff, I do this little thing, which is not worth mentioning."
"Okay, I'll trouble Boss Du! I'll go out of the emergency room right away..."
"Okay, goodbye!"
Dr. Qin's meal order phone call made all Du Kan's grievances just now disappear.
Dukan subconsciously turned around and walked towards the store. His mind was full of these twenty lunch boxes, such as how to side dishes and how to cook dishes to deliver them to the emergency department as soon as possible, and even forgot about the community staff behind him.
"Hey, boy, wait!"
In the end, the female staff member of the community called him, and he stopped and remembered that there was someone behind him.
Although he felt wronged, Dukan was not the kind of person who was unreasonable. He felt it was necessary to explain it clearly to these community workers.
After all, he really just wanted to deliver meals to front-line medical staff, that's all, not for other reasons.
"Sorry, I'm full of cooking for the hospital. I forgot you... Actually, I..."
So he hurriedly said.
"Okay, young man. You don't have to explain anything. We heard what you said just now. Sorry, we misunderstood you. I apologize to you on behalf of the staff in our community."
Dukan's words to explain were interrupted again, but after being interrupted this time, the other party actually apologized.
"I'm sorry, I apologize for what I said to you just now."
Not only the leading woman apologized, but the tall and thin man who was aggressive and misunderstood from the beginning also apologized to Dukan with a sincere look on his face.
"Young man, I'm sorry, we misunderstood you. You're a good person!"
"Sorry, I misunderstand that I misunderstood you. Now our city needs a brave person like you."
Almost everyone changed their views on him because of the phone call between him and Dr. Qin, and began to apologize to him one after another.
"Oh, we misunderstood this guy..."
"That's right, that's right. This guy is responsible and a good person..."
"Young man, I'm sorry, uncle misunderstood you, don't take it to heart."
Even the passers-by who were watching Dukan's duties just now looked for forgiveness from him.
The misunderstanding was resolved, and as everyone's apology was heard, Dukan's eyes gradually became wet.
The woman looked at Dukan's slightly red eyes and said in an apology.
"My name is Yin Hongmei, and I am the secretary of Changle Community. On behalf of the community, I would like to thank you for your contributions to the front-line medical staff, to this city and to our country during this special period. We have wronged you just now."
"Secretary Yin, can my store not be closed?"
The commission is not wronged, it is not important to Dukan. What is important is that this store cannot be closed.
"It's not close, and I can't close it. I will report your situation to my superiors to ensure that you can open business normally during the epidemic. And if you have any difficulties in delivering meals to the hospital in the later stage, you can contact our community as soon as possible."
After hearing Yin Hongmei's words, Du Kan's heart finally let go.
"Thank you Secretary Yin."
"But I have two requirements. First, don't let customers go to the store to eat, preferably boxed lunches or takeout. Second, when delivering meals to the hospital, you must pay attention to your own protection and safety."
"Okay, no problem, I promise to do these two things."
Hearing this, Dukan finally smiled and patted his chest and said.
"Old Deng, remember, please send someone some masks and disinfectant alcohol later."
After Yin Hongmei finished speaking to the people around her, she looked at Du Kan again and said with concern, "You must pay attention to safety! We won't delay you anymore, hurry up and try to send the meals to the soldiers in the hospital as soon as possible."
After saying that, Yin Hongmei left without looking back.
