A section of the road was so congested that it really made people question their life. In the past, everyone used to squeeze into trains and buses to go home for the New Year. At that time, the trains and buses were overcrowded.
As the country becomes stronger and the people become richer, private cars have become a commodity that everyone can buy if they want. During holidays, especially the Spring Festival, highways have become a must-have place.
As long as there is a small friction or accident, it will cause a traffic jam for at least an hour for the cars behind, and it will also divert traffic to the toll station. During this period, payment is still made in cash. If someone asks for change at the toll gate, or asks someone at work
There was a little quarrel between the people, and the car behind might have been stuck in traffic for another hour.
Now it is the beginning of 2013, and it is also the eve of the Lunar New Year. During the National Day in 2012, free highways were implemented on important holidays. Can this not be blocked?
It’s the first Spring Festival when expressways are free. Everyone thinks that if you take the expressway now, it will be free after midnight, and you won’t have to pay when you get off the expressway.
This resulted in no one walking on the national highway. They were all on the highway. Zhao Mingyang just wanted to get off the next intersection and take the national highway. He could not stay on it any longer. It was not far out of Shencheng. According to this
Due to the speed, we may still be stuck on the road tomorrow morning.
After finally reaching a toll gate, Zhao Mingyang paid the toll directly and got off the expressway. He could no longer drive on the expressway.
After getting off the expressway, I felt instantly refreshed. In fact, I took the national highway home, which was about the same speed as usual on the expressway. There were no cars on the road and there were no traffic jams at all.
If he wants to avoid traffic jams on the highway during holidays, Zhao Mingyang thinks that only highway tolls are charged, and highways are free on weekends, so everyone can go home for a short walk or the like.
During the National Day, Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival, the high speeds are similar to the Spring Festival transportation in the past. They are all concentrated together, and the high speeds become slow speeds.
Zhao Mingyang told his parents that he would drive home with his colleagues in shifts tomorrow, and did not tell his family that he would stay in a hotel at his hometown in the evening.
Without telling the family that he would be returning tomorrow, his parents could stay until Zhao Mingyang returned in the early morning. If he was a little late, he would be worried and would call one after another to ask where he was.
There was no need to worry about his parents having trouble sleeping. Zhao Mingyang drove to a hotel near his home at around 11pm and checked in.
The front desk of the hotel was all asleep. Zhao Mingyang knocked on the cashier and reported her mobile phone number for the reservation. The other person handed the room card to Zhao Mingyang with a look of displeasure, as if Zhao Mingyang had interrupted her sweet dream.
Hotels in small places cannot talk about service awareness. Especially in this period, service awareness is still far behind that of big cities.
There is a four-star hotel, but the service is similar to that of a fast hotel in a big city. Currently, all the four- and five-star hotels in Zhao Mingyang’s hometown are basically self-operated, and there is no formal five-star hotel chain.
In most novels, the five-star hotel waiters look down upon people, etc. This is basically the bad impression the author may have had on the pseudo-five-star hotel in the city where he lives.
Because the formal and real five-star hotel service attitude is that of Haidilao, and Haidilao operates according to the five-star hotel service management model.
If a waiter is complained by a customer or performs poorly, his half-year bonus may be lost. Of course, five-star hotels have higher requirements for front desk greeters than ordinary hotels.
Just like many people don’t understand that hotels still require a bachelor’s degree? But the salary is indeed not low.
Zhao Mingyang took the room card and took the elevator upstairs. If it were daytime, there would be more waiters, but by this time, most of them were resting.
In a small place, after eleven o'clock is basically late at night.
Before chain five-star hotels opened in third- and fourth-tier cities, big hotels everywhere were making a lot of money. Those with money would go to the hotel together and basically make money without losing money, because the locals had no choice.
To stabilize the customer base, why did many hotels in third- and fourth-tier cities suddenly disappear when chains came over?
In fact, it is the same price, good decoration, good service, and good facilities. Customers can enjoy this kind of service instantly and will not choose to go to the previous hotels with high prices and poor service.
In the past, there was no choice, and hotel chains only entered third- and fourth-tier cities on a large scale around 15 to 17 years ago, because consumption levels and passenger flow reached hotel profitability standards.
Why does Zhao Mingyang always buy a bunch of things in Shencheng every time he comes back? Because they are cheap. Things in small places have monopoly prices, such as some clothing brands. There are too many brands in big cities and too many shopping malls. They are all 3 or 4.
With discounts and promotions, a pair of Adidas shoes sells for 200 to 300 yuan a pair in shopping malls in big cities, and 1,800 yuan a pair 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 physical industry in some places has indeed been hit hardest.
I slept until nine noon the next day. Around eight o'clock, my parents called me to ask where Zhao Mingyang was.
Zhao Mingyang got up, took a shower, changed his clothes, and went out to check out. He didn't dress up too much. His makeup bag and everything were in the car.
As soon as I left the hotel after checking out, I met an acquaintance. This is the advantage of a small city. In addition to being a little more smoky than a big city, there is also a chance of meeting by chance. The chance of meeting by chance is very high in a small city. After all,
Everyone's scope of activities is limited.
Zhao Mingyang watched two boys and three girls get out of a black BMW
It's loud, louder than firecrackers.
This yellow-haired man is dressed in a suit of retribution, oh ~ slip of the tongue, it’s boy, he is a classmate of Zhao Mingyang’s junior high school, he dropped out of school before finishing junior high school.
This person's name is Zhang Dongdong. He has a character similar to that of a crow in Young and Dangerous. He especially likes crows. He also likes to look for trouble in his dressing and speaking style. He especially likes to make trouble for nothing and is very good at bullying the weak and fearing the strong. His brother's name is Zhang Hu, and his personality is similar to that of crows.
On the contrary, his brother doesn't like to talk much, but he is a very cruel person.
When Zhao Mingyang saw Zhang Dongdong, it felt like he was in another life, because in his previous life, he went home and heard that he and his brother ate peanuts together and sold more than 500 grams of peanuts.
The two brothers were both under thirty and were eating peanuts together. His parents could no longer let their sons help them teach others...
Zhao Mingyang didn't know when the two brothers started working in that industry. uuReading www.uukanshu.com Anyway, the group of people who played well with Zhang Dongdong basically went in, either to commit fraud or prepare to eat peanuts.
When we are all twenty-four or five years old, our lives are over and suspended.
Zhao Mingyang and Zhang Dongdong didn't deal with each other. When he was in school, Zhao Mingyang hated this person very much because he was really annoying.
Those who bully the weak are afraid of those who are hard-core bad. If she is bad, Zhao Mingyang positions her as the kind who is born bad. Also, this person swears profusely, speaks freely, is very arrogant and domineering, and relies on the reputation of his brother to be very arrogant.
Of course, Zhang Dongdong also hated Zhao Mingyang very much, because Zhao Mingyang once taught him a lesson, and he went to find his brother Zhang Hu. As a result, Zhang Dongdong and his brother did not dare to touch a hair of Zhao Mingyang, because Zhao Mingyang's cousin was a sir, even though he was a film police officer.
But he is also a sir.
This group of people see Ah Sir like a mouse sees a cat. This is why the family members of Ah Sir are not afraid of Young and Dangerous and do not look down upon them at all.
Zhang Dongdong hated Zhao Mingyang with gritted teeth. Suddenly he saw Zhao Mingyang, whom he hadn't seen for many years, coming out of the hotel. He straightened his jacket and shouted in a strange voice: "Hey, you! Isn't this a college student? Here comes the college student.
Home, I didn’t take a special car back.”
Zhao Mingyang looked at Zhang Dongdong and asked with a puzzled expression: "Who are you?"
When Zhang Dongdong heard this, his face suddenly turned livid, with a very ugly expression. It was obvious at a glance that he was angry.
"Hold the grass~ What a mess you are. I don't know, I thought you were the richest man in the world. You don't recognize me anymore. I am Zhang Dongdong. How come this college student went to school like our dog? I don't even recognize you." Zhang Dongdong pointed out.
Zhao Mingyang and the people around him laughed loudly.
