Volume 1 The First Arrival Chapter 2 The Long Journey

At this time, the train had entered the suburbs of the Xinhai Special Zone on the east coast, and rows of towering factory chimneys were rapidly approaching the train, and then quickly disappeared behind.

This is the industrial zone of the Xinhai Special Economic Zone.

The carriage calmed down, and Lu Li sat back in his seat, attracted by the scenery of the industrial area outside the window.

The train hunks along the viaduct and lined up with tall factory buildings, the dark and huge factory walls facing the sun, lazily reflecting the rising sun, turning the cool industrial area into a warm orange, and the exhaust fumes soften the whole factory with the sky.

Dong Hai touched his beard and carefully observed the young man who was attracted by the scenery outside the window again, and took a monk's head, wearing a black stand-up collar flight jacket, dark cargo pants, and a pair of military boots. The open jacket showed that the young man was very strong, with a strong chest and broad arms.

It was this young man who looked like he was only about twenty years old and rescued himself.

There are no tattoos, no electronic modifications, no bells and whistles on other young people.

In this era when everyone is pursuing unconventionality, the three major elements of light pollution, mechanization and electronicization prevail, which have made a qualitative change in the appearance of people in Xinhai City, especially trendy youth.

Lu Li is placed in the crowd, and ordinary people can stand out from the crowd.

No matter how you look at it, they are ordinary migrant workers from a small local place, but because it was an incident just now, Dong Hai did not easily make this conclusion.

"Thank you again for the rescue of Shaoxia just now, Dong is very grateful." Dong Hai hugged his fists and thanked.

Lu Li turned his gaze back from the window to look at Dong Hai and smiled softly.

"It's nothing, after all, my seat is occupied."

"Shaoxia's surname?"

When asked about his surname, Lu Li was slightly stunned.

"Don't have your surname Lu, you can just call me Xiao Lu."

"First time in Xinhai City?" Dong Hai moved his body to Lu Li and said.

"Yes, I'm from my homeland, and it's my first time in Fuso."

Sure enough, I guessed correctly.

Dong Hai showed a confident smile: "It's not the first time I'm not used to it, after all, the atmosphere here in Fusang is different from the local." A little more diverse, you can experience it more when you arrive in Xinhai City. ”

Lu Li's eyes were empty and said: "Yes, before I came, my master told me about the special nature of Xinhai City, which is more diverse and attracts many people from all over the world. I didn't expect that the coming of all nations in the new century would be realized in such a form haha. “

At this time, Dong Hai found that when the young man heard him say the last sentence, a coin in his left hand was actually bent by his thumb!

The boy also noticed his abnormal knee-jerk behavior, and the coin quickly retracted into his palm.

"It seems that you have a good understanding of the specific situation in Xinhai City, and you would like to hear about it in detail."

Lu Li became interested, after all, he would have to live in this completely unfamiliar city for a long time in the future.

Dong Hai, who came back to his senses, bent over and moved his arms and buttocks forward, changing to a sitting position closer to the young man, "Where did I just say?" ”

"Oh yes, the special thing about Shinkai City. This Xinhai City is the easternmost metropolis in our Dashu, although it was an inconspicuous place when it was taken from the Westerners, and in the past 30 years, the empire established the Xinhai Special Zone, providing unprecedented policy, economic and technological support. ”

"So where does that manifest itself?" Straight to the point.

"The specific performance is the relaxation of imperial power and the attraction of investment. Capital is in the first place, although this is also separated from the governance of the local area and even Fusangzhou, but it has made Xinhai City the economic center of the world, and now the imperial court has been soft in Xinhai to pay taxes, and many problems in the Ming Dynasty have been solved through the form of feedback. ”

Dong Hai made a summary: "So, as long as you don't commit a big taboo in the imperial court, in Xinhai City? Make money and you're done. ”

"Then what should I pay attention to when a newcomer like me who has no foundation comes to Xinhai City?"

"Something to watch? Kindness...... Oh yes. ”

Dong Hai said according to the need: "You have to remember, in Xinhai City, don't mess with anyone, those big company groups in Xinhai City is the world of capital, these big company groups even have their own arms, sometimes more control than the imperial court." ”

"And although Xinhai City seems to be very prosperous, there are a lot of rich people, and countless people have come to dream of making a fortune for themselves, but the class division here is unimaginable for people like you who grew up in the country. In some areas, people below the poverty line are invincible, and the various problems brought to Xinhai City are also very serious. ”

"The eldest brother is really an experience, and the younger brother remembers it." Lu Li replied with a smile.

The corners of Dong Hai's mouth rose and his arms opened, and he straightened his chest and changed his sitting posture backwards: "Where are you from?" Are you coming to Xinhai City to find your master? ”

"I grew up in the capital from a small city, and my health has always been bad, my master is in the local area, and the master has helped me take care of my body in the past few years, so let me come to Xinhai City to see the world and develop it first."

"Oh? You're also from Yanjing? I asked the company to be stationed here to do business this time, so what direction are you going to develop in Xinhai City this time? Dong Hai asked with some surprise.

"I haven't thought about it yet, let's come to Xinhai City to look around before making a decision."

"Xinhai City has nothing else, the most important thing is that it is inclusive, as long as you are hardworking and capable, everyone can find a job suitable for yourself in Xinhai City, this Xinhai City, there are everything, everyone has it."

"yes, that's good for me, haha."

Dong Hai feels that this young man is quite optimistic, this Xinhai City is really a strange person, not to blame the rich everywhere, the average local people who grew up in Xinhai City come to Xinhai City for the first time to work hard, and they don't know how many hurdles they have to take and how many losses they have to suffer.

"Then which direction are you going to take when you come to Xinhai City?" Dong Hai inquired about Lu Li's employment direction.

"Hehe, you asked me like this, I don't hide that I have been in the mountains for four years, and I am not very familiar with the current society, Xinhai City is very different from the local area, and now I go to Xinhai City, I have a senior brother who opens a shop there, I first want to do business with my senior brother, and I am familiar with it first."

"When you played against those two just now, you were very skilled, dare to ask what is the origin?" Dong Hai said so much, and finally asked the question he was most curious about.

"I'm just an ordinary person from home."

Obviously, it's not like telling where you really come from.

It was already full dawn, and at this time, the carriage radio sounded: "Dear passengers, the terminal station of this train will arrive in Xinhai City in five minutes, please pack your belongings and prepare to get off." ”

The train arrived at the station soon, Dong Hai recalled the conversation just now, although this young man did not clearly state the specific purpose of his coming to Xinhai City, he was still dressed as old-fashioned as himself in his forties.

But Dong Hai saw superhuman skills, as well as confidence and open-mindedness in Lu Li, and even felt the strong aura exuded by this young man who was twenty years younger than himself.

Everyone on the train hurriedly got up to pack their luggage, and Lu Li also stood up, facing the morning light outside the window and preparing to take off his backpack, his sturdy body covering most of the light in front of him.

Maybe it was the changes in the surrounding environment, or maybe it was Lu Li's words and deeds, Dong Hai, who was sitting in the chair, inexplicably became heartbeat.

I feel that the fate of the two cannot be severed, and I am ready to exchange contact information with the young man, maybe I can use it one day.

"Lu Shaoxia, this is my business card, let's take care of each other in Xinhai City when the time comes, my name is Dong Hai, and I do international trade."

Dong Hai took out his business card.

At this point, the train begins to slow down with regular vibrations.

Lu Li put on his backpack and turned to look at Dong Hai.

"My name is Lu Li, I'm really sorry I don't have a business card, I will definitely contact you when the time comes."

Lu Li took Dong Hai's business card with both hands and put it into the inner pocket of his jacket.

The huge double-decker train stops accelerating, and the train clicks on the tracks, which is not the sound of the train running through the gap in the tracks, but the seamless steel rails are doing electromagnetic braking, and each braking point is working between the carriages, producing a clicking sound and reminding people that they are about to arrive at the station.

The train has turned off the power before entering the braking track, moving forward completely by inertia, and the closer it gets to the station, the longer the click interval and the weaker the sense of deceleration.

The inertia of the huge train was also completely offset by the moment it arrived at the booth, and the train arrived at the Xinhai Central Railway Station after a long and gentle deceleration.

Lu Li, who had been squeezed out of the carriage early, stood under the pillar and looked down at his hands, with a coin bent at ninety degrees lying on his left palm.

When Dong Hai mentioned the imperial court just now, he made himself feel empathetic, but he didn't pay attention, and pushed the coin with a force with his thumb.

Lu Li pinched one end of the coin with both hands and was about to break the coin back again, and Lu Li, who had used all his strength, blushed. When I looked down again, I saw that the coin was still 90 degrees unmoving.

Sure enough, it still doesn't work?

Because of the fight just now, my whole body was sore, and it seemed that I would have to find someone to see the injury on my forearm for a while.

Lu Li touched his stamina, and looked helplessly at the clock on the wall in the distance, the clock was twelve scales, but the corresponding scales became Arabic numerals.

At least the clock in Xinhai City is the same as the mainland, but I don't know why this hour was changed to Arabic numerals, maybe it's to take care of the elderly with bad eyes, haha.

Lu Li's mood picked up and continued to follow the flow of people to the subway station below the train station.

Lu Li, who came to the subway station hall, shifted his attention to passers-by, and the crowd in the entire station hall was mixed with people of all skin colors and dresses, including people hurrying with large bags and small bags, those who stopped to rest against the wall, and those who bought food by the vending machines.

Among them, there was a woman next to Lu Li who attracted Lu Li's attention, this person styled her hair high and upward, and she was more than three feet taller, but the hair on the side of her head was shaved and polished, and the bald head in the lower layer, the short size in the middle layer and the "cockscomb" on the top of her head were distinct.

"I'll be there right away, yes, Times Square Convergence, don't be mistaken." The three-quartered woman was making a phone call with a wireless headset, and the voice was so loud that everyone in the subway station could hear it.

Stopping his observation of the citizens of Xinhai, Lu Li's attention shifted to the subway meter in front of him.

It's about the same as the Yanjing Metro. The corners of Lu Li's mouth, who had finally found what he was good at, rose slightly, but after observing, Lu Li made another difficulty.

'It's still early, where do you go?' Find one of the most prosperous areas' Lu Li's eyes turned at high speed, and his eyes quickly swam on the huge subway map.

In a short time, Lu Li's eyes were locked on the lower middle of the subway map, a place where the subway is the most dense, and the place that can be reached by the transfer line at the same distance from all stations in Xinhai City.

"Times Square" blurted out. I feel like I've heard of this place, yes, that's it!
