Chapter 303: Qi Kuo
After everyone gathered, they greeted each other and got close, and then walked towards the station. This group of people is a family of three, plus Qian Peibin, who went to Yanjing to send his daughter because he had to go on a mission, brought a guard, and Xu Jingran had to talk about cooperation after sending his daughter, yes, he was also an assistant. In this way, the four families are a family of three, plus these casual people, together, there are nearly twenty people, rushing into the station, before and after, which is quite attention-grabbing.
However, when the passengers and station staff saw the four-year-old girls in the group, as well as the parents of the husband and wife, they were carrying delicate suitcases that were obviously used by little girls. The start of the university is close to the city, and this should be the parents sending the newly admitted students to the school. Judging by the situation, these little girls should have done well in the exam, which is really enviable. If you have a child and have to face the college entrance examination in the future, you can't help but imagine in your heart that if they can send their children on a trip with such pride the day after tomorrow, it will be a great thing.
The train does not wait for anyone, and there is a specified time to stop at the station, so the time for a group of people to come is relatively early. After the security check, there is still nearly half an hour before the train arrives at the station, and this time period coincides with the start of school, and the waiting room is also full, and there is almost no open space to put your feet on. The group originally planned to find a free place to stand and wait on the side, but the time was quite close anyway, but they were a group of passengers with outstanding temperament and were very different from ordinary people, and they were obviously noticed by some people. As soon as they stood still, one of them stepped forward to greet them.
"Gentlemen and ladies. If you don't want to be crowded with others, we have a VIP waiting room. There is a TV, coffee and tea, a sofa, and you can also take the special channel, check in in advance, and enjoy VIP service, without crowding with so many people. It only costs 20 yuan for one person to enter! Naturally, the visitor was a VIP room broker at the train station, and looking at this group of people, he immediately knew that business was coming. And it's big business.
In the train station, there are still many brokers like him. There are a lot of seats in the train station itself plus the train lounges purchased by third-party companies, but most of the time, there are almost few people who use them. People with status have already gone by plane. It is obviously not the best choice for them to take the train as a means of transportation, unless they can't catch the plane and don't want to wait until the next day to take the train secondly.
Therefore, after the station waiting room is overcrowded, but the train VIP room is empty, find some customers in need to pay money into the VIP room, and it also came into being. In the beginning, it was just a few people doing it on the sly. Later, the people who came to see the station did not check, so the business became more and more prosperous. There are always people in need at the train station, and people who can do it with a little status, they don't care about the ten yuan and twenty yuan, even if they have a seat to be able to check in advance and enter the station, these conveniences also make many people rush to it. There is a large flow of people at the station, so that people come and go every day, and one person is ten or twenty yuan is inconspicuous, but there are so many people who come and go, and the interests of them are great, and it also feeds them for a group of brokers who work for such a livelihood.
How can a broker be clumsy? He is very clever to briefly name the various benefits of the VIP room, this line of people at a glance is not bad for money, he focused on having seats to check tickets in advance, and sure enough, attracted the attention of this line.
"Lead the way, lead us there! Brother Su, Brother Qian, Brother Liu, several sisters-in-law, and children, let's follow him! Xu Jingran smiled and beckoned everyone to follow the broker's lead, he had to travel all the year round because of work, and there was always a time when he couldn't catch the plane, so he couldn't delay the next day's other flights, so he would naturally choose to take the compromise train. Nowadays, the speed of the train is just longer, and it is faster than waiting for the next day's departure. He has taken the train many times, and he also knows the inside story of the VIP room at the station, and when he entered the waiting room just now, he was paying attention to whether there were any brokers in the VIP room of the train nearby, and he was not in a hurry, because the goal of their group was obvious, so that those brokers came to them. It was easier for him to find them.
Ten yuan can buy such a convenience, a group of people are also willing, yes, no one objected, and they successively followed the broker's lead, into the so-called VIP room, in which to talk softly, men's topics, women's maintenance, children's closeness, after waiting for more than 20 minutes, the train from Jincheng to Yanjing is about to enter the station reminder sounded, the VIP waiting room of the people who want to take this train under the guidance of the attendant's ticket checking, take the special channel in advance to the platform, the train docked, A group of people also got into their own carriages in an orderly manner.
The tickets that Liu Qijun wanted to get for everyone were considered a large amount, so his friend directly reserved twenty soft sleepers for him from the unsold train tickets in the back. The ticket for the group belongs to the last car of the 13 cars of the official soft sleeper, and the last twenty seats of the carriage. When Su Li and his entourage got on the bus, Zhang Mengqing's family of three, and Sun Hongmei's family of three, who got on the bus from their respective counties in advance, were waiting in front of the carriage.
A few children have not seen each other for more than a month, and they have endless words, occupying a private room, sitting under the bed and talking and laughing, six pairs of parents have not seen each other for a while, a box for men, a box for women, and eagerly say this. The rest of Han Qing and the others are free to arrange, if they want to chat and talk freely, and if they want to rest, it naturally doesn't matter. It's just that, obviously, it is impossible for them to rest at this time, and it just so happens that this time Xu Jingran brought the assistant and bodyguard, and the guards brought by Qian Peibin are veterans and active soldiers, plus Han Qing, who is also a veteran, they also have a common language.
During the night, the children rested in two boxes, one box had four beds, one of which was used by Han Qing and An Binhong to protect the safety of these children at night. On the train, whether it is completely safe or not, there are professional people watching, and they are also relieved. The remaining adults arranged a box for the two couples, the Su family and the Qian family shared a box, the Xu family and the Liu family had a box, and the Sun family and the Zhang family used a box when they got on the bus in advance, so they naturally continued to use it, so they didn't let them move.
