Chapter 704: A Chance Encounter in a Small City
A section of the road is so congested that it really makes people doubt their lives, everyone used to squeeze the train and squeeze the bus to go home for the New Year, and at that time the train and bus were overcrowded.
With the country's strength and people's wealth, private cars have become a commodity that everyone can buy as long as they want to buy.
As long as there is a small friction, a small accident, then it is necessary to cause at least an hour of traffic jam to the car behind, as well as the diversion under the toll station, this period is also paid in cash, if someone at the toll gate is looking for change, or a little quarrel with the staff, it may be added to the back of the car for an hour of traffic jam time.
At this time, it is the beginning of the 13th year, and it is the eve of the Lunar New Year, and the National Day of the 12th year implements the high-speed free of charge on important holidays.
The first high-speed free Spring Festival, everyone thinks about getting on the highway now, it will be free after zero, and you don't have to pay for getting off the highway when the time comes.
Zhao Mingyang just wanted to hurry down from the next intersection to take the national highway at this time, and he couldn't continue to stay on it, so he didn't go far out of Shencheng, according to this speed, he might still be blocked on the road tomorrow morning.
Finally arrived at a toll gate, Zhao Mingyang paid the toll directly, got off the highway, and couldn't continue to drive on the highway.
Get off the highway, instantly feel cool, in fact, take the national highway home, at this time and usually take the high-speed almost at the same speed, there are no cars on the road, not blocked at all.
If you want to avoid traffic jams on holidays, Zhao Mingyang thinks that there are only high-speed tolls, and the high-speed is free on weekdays and Sundays.
In these days of the National Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, the high-speed is similar to the previous train Spring Festival, they are all gathered together, and the high-speed has become slow.
Zhao Mingyang and his parents said that they would drive home with their colleagues in shifts tomorrow, but they didn't tell their families that they would stay in a hotel at their hometown in the evening.
If you don't tell your family to go back tomorrow, your parents can stay until Zhao Mingyang goes back in the early morning, and if it's late, you'll be worried, and you will call one after another to ask where you are.
There is no need to worry about the bad sleep of his parents, Zhao Mingyang drove to a hotel near his home at eleven o'clock in the evening and checked in.
The hotel front desk was asleep, Zhao Mingyang knocked on the cash register, reported the predetermined mobile phone number, and the other party handed the room card to Zhao Mingyang with an unhappy face, as if Zhao Mingyang interrupted her dream.
Hotels in small places can't talk about service awareness, especially in this period, service awareness is still too far from big cities.
There is a four-star hotel, but the service is similar to the express hotel in the big city, at present, all the four-star and five-star hotels in Zhao Mingyang's hometown are basically hung by themselves, and there is no regular chain five-star hotel.
Most of the five-star hotel waiters who write in it look down on people or something, are basically the bad impressions brought to the author by the pseudo-five-star hotels in the city where the author may be located.
Because the formal, real five-star hotel service attitude is Haidilao, and Haidilao is in accordance with the five-star hotel service management model.
The waiter is complained by the customer, or the performance is not good, the bonus may be gone for half a year, of course, the five-star hotel has higher requirements for the front desk welcome than the ordinary hotel.
Just like a lot of people don't understand that hotels still require a bachelor's degree? But the wages are not low.
Zhao Mingyang took the room card and took the elevator upstairs, if it was daytime, there would be more waiters, but at this point, they were basically rested.
In small places, eleven o'clock is basically late at night.
When the chain of five-star hotels did not open to the third and fourth tier cities, the big hotels around the country are full of money, and the rich will come to the hotel in partnership, and basically make a steady profit, because the locals have no choice, there is a stable source of customers, why the chain of a come, many hotels in the third and fourth tier cities fell instantly?
In fact, it is the same price, good decoration, good service, good facilities, customers instantly enjoy this kind of service, will not choose to go to the previous high price and poor service of the hotel.
In the past, there was no choice, and the chain hotel only entered the third- and fourth-tier cities on a large scale around 15 to 17 years, because the consumption level and passenger flow reached the hotel profit standard.
Why does Zhao Mingyang buy a bunch of things in Shencheng every time he comes back? Because it's cheap, there are things in small places that are monopoly prices, such as some clothing brands, too many brands in big cities, too many shopping malls, all of which are discounted and promoted, a pair of Adi's shoes are sold in big city shopping malls, and thousands of eight hundred are sold in specialty stores in third- and fourth-tier cities.
So every time Zhao Mingyang came back in his previous life, he would buy some things to bring to his family, of course, with the popularity of smartphones, the real industry in some places has indeed suffered the worst.
I slept until nine o'clock at noon the next day, and at about eight o'clock, my parents called to ask where Zhao Mingyang was.
Zhao Mingyang got up and took a shower, changed his clothes, went out and checked out, and he didn't dress up too much, and his makeup bag was in the car.
Just out of the hotel after the room, I met an acquaintance, this is the benefit of a small city, in addition to a little more fireworks than a big city, there is a chance encounter probability, in a small city chance encounter probability is very large, after all, everyone's range of activities is limited.
Zhao Mingyang watched two boys and three girls get out of a black BMW X1. The man driving was wearing a big gold chain, dyed yellow hair, and had a tattoo on his neck, and the song played in the car was louder than firecrackers.
This yellow-haired man is dressed in retribution, oh ~ slip of the tongue, it's BOY, he is a classmate of Zhao Mingyang's junior high school, and he dropped out of school before finishing junior high school.
This person's name is Zhang Dongdong, similar to the character of the crow in the old boy, he especially likes crows, and he also intends to learn from crows in his dress and speaking style, he especially likes to find trouble when he has nothing to do, and is very good at bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, his brother's name is Zhang Hu, and his personality is the opposite, his brother doesn't like to talk much, but he is a very ruthless person.
When Zhao Mingyang saw this Zhang Dongdong, he felt like a different life, because he went home in his previous life and heard that he and his brother, the two brothers ate peanuts together, and sold more than 500 grams.
Both brothers are under 30 years old, and they eat peanuts together, and his parents can no longer let their son help them teach others......
Zhao Mingyang doesn't know when the brothers started doing that line, anyway, the group of people who had a good time with Zhang Dongdong basically went in, either to engage in fraud or to prepare to eat peanuts.
They are all twenty-four or five years old, and their lives are over and suspended.
Zhao Mingyang and Zhang Dongdong don't deal with each other, and Zhao Mingyang hated this person very, very much when he was in school, because he was really annoying.
Bullying the soft is afraid of the bad in the hard bones, if it is bad, Zhao Mingyang positions her as the kind that is born bad, and this person swears a lot, is open-mouthed, very arrogant, and relies on his brother's reputation to be very arrogant.
Of course, Zhang Dongdong also hated Zhao Mingyang very much, because Zhao Mingyang had taught him a lesson, and he went to find his brother Zhang Hu, but Zhang Dongdong and his brother didn't dare to touch Zhao Mingyang's hair, because Zhao Mingyang's cousin is a sir, although he is a film policeman, but he is also a sir.
This group of people sees Sir like a mouse sees a cat, which is why the family members of Sir are not afraid of the old boys and look down on them at all.
Zhang Dongdong gritted his teeth and hated Zhao Mingyang, and suddenly saw Zhao Mingyang, who he hadn't seen for many years, come out of the hotel, he tidied up the jacket on his body, and shouted in a weird way: "Hey, hey! Isn't this a college student? College students came home, but they didn't come back by car. ”
Zhao Mingyang looked at Zhang Dongdong and asked with a puzzled expression, "Are you?" ”
When Zhang Dongdong heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and his expression was very ugly, and he could see at a glance that he was angry.
"Hold the grass~ What is it like, I don't know if I think you are the richest man in the world, I don't recognize people anymore, I'm Zhang Dongdong, how can college students be the same as our dogs in school, six relatives don't recognize it." Zhang Dongdong pointed at Zhao Mingyang and the people around him and laughed loudly.
