"Mr. Zhou, I'm really sorry. Your special plane was temporarily borrowed by Mr. Xu of Qingyan Group!"
It's been used for window dressing again.
Zhou Yan is not too surprised by this situation: there are customers that need to be acquired, and business jets need to be used to demonstrate the company's financial strength.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yan went to the train station that he had not been to for a long time.
The train station has the same shape as it did many years ago, but after being exposed to wind and rain for a long time, the appearance has taken on a bit of vicissitudes.
In the era before online ticket booking, you could only buy train tickets at the train station. Unfortunately, the summer vacation has just begun, and there is already a long queue in the ticket hall.
"The train ticket to the capital tomorrow night..."
The conductor glanced at Zhou Yan, who was wearing cool clothes: "The hard seats are gone!"
"Soft sleeper, two private rooms!"
You can have this!
"Eight soft sleepers, a total of four thousand and sixty-four!"
Although the speed of the train is much slower than that of the plane, there is an advantage that the plane cannot compare with it. It is scheduled at the same time and has enough time. Moreover, the train is very close to the seaside, so there is no need to go to Xinhai or a nearby airport to transfer.
The train tickets were for the evening, so there was no need to bring too many "supplies" with me on the way. I pinched a few and saw that it was almost time. The lightly packed people came out of the hotel and rushed to the train station.
In addition to the Zhou and Qin families, there were also Aunt Zhou Yan and her cousin in the traveling team. My aunt came to Beijing to prepare for the autumn clothing conference, while Li Jinling was just here to do so.
Although Li Jinling calls herself a backpacker and has traveled all over Dongyang, this is her first time out of the province. Seeing the crowds in the car buying hall at the station, she can't help but look forward to the evening journey.
Zhou Yan, who has been plagued by COVID-19 for many years, subconsciously avoided them when he saw so many people without masks.
Fortunately, Dongyang is the departure station and ticket check-in is half an hour in advance.
After getting on the train, Li Jinling discovered that the train and the waiting hall were completely different worlds: separate small private rooms, and it was difficult to talk to the people around her.
What made Li Jinling even more depressed was that she was arranged to share a private room with her third aunt, third uncle, and sister-in-law.
So Miss Li, who was really restless, knocked on the door next door after putting down her luggage.
"Uncle Qin, Aunt Xing!"
Zhou Yan felt a little funny when he saw his cousin pouting: "If you are hungry, you can order food in the dining car, car No. 6!"
"Brother, if you co-operate with your cousin, I will be reincarnated as a starving ghost?!"
"If you don't want to go, forget it!" Zhou Yan turned around and took out a tablet computer from the bag on the upper bunk and handed it to his cousin.
"IPAD?"
Although the Founder tablet in front of me is jokingly called a failure in the circle as "Founder takes a bite out of the standard", the name of this tablet is IPAD.
"Take other people's paths and leave others with nowhere to go!"
Although the iPad was launched much later than similar products, the shape is much more refined: the right-angled frame is quite technological, and the 10-inch 2K Retina screen is quite visually impactful.
It is also a tablet computer, and Founder has prepared much more than taking a bite: a software ecosystem specially developed for tablets, game video resources...
So much so that when Founder produced the finished product, the samples had already been divided among the executives of Xinghan Group.
After the product was launched, a group of senior executives thought of preparing one for their boss.
But after the people from Founder Technology equipped the tablet with Zhou Yan’s envisioned tablet case with keyboard, stylus and other sharp tools, the product has been on the market for more than half a year...
Li Jinling has naturally seen reports about the Ipad on the Internet. Although she is also curious about why this thing is called an IPAD, this does not prevent her from liking this tablet computer.
"Brother, you should still be able to get it, so this one belongs to me!"
"It doesn't matter!"
Zhou Yan took out another laptop from his bag.
“This is Founder’s business laptop with a screen that can rotate 360 degrees!”
That's right, after running on the iPad, I still have to strangle the YOGA series that I want to buy.
Looking at the sci-fi style notebook in Zhou Yan's hand, Li Jinling's mouth watered with greed.
"Don't look at it. When you graduate, I will give you one!"
"That's what you said!"
After receiving Zhou Yan's affirmative answer, Li Jinling reluctantly left.
But not long after she opened the door and went out, Miss Li came back again.
"Brother, when will we have dinner?"
“You can go to the dining car to find out first!”
The most famous foods on the train are "cigarettes, melon seeds, mineral water, beer, drinks and eight-treasure porridge", as well as sky-high price box lunches.
However, relatively speaking, the most affordable thing on the train is the stir-fried dishes in the dining car...
Miss Li went around the dining car and came back with an order menu. When she saw Zhou Yan, she handed it over.
"Brother, I ordered, but I haven't paid yet!"
Zhou Yan raised his head and took a look and almost stopped crying: steamed yellow flowers, braised prawns, cumin mutton, farm fried chicken, spicy crabs, fat beef in sour soup...
"Sister, you're not going to order food, you're going to clear the inventory!" Zhou Yan took out his wallet with a wry smile, took out ten large bills, and handed it over.
"No, I think the chef is very enthusiastic!"
At this time, even Qin Fangyuan on the side was amused: "Lingling, thank you for being the shopkeeper, the chef has stopped selling..."
Miss Li suddenly realized: "Yes! How about I retreat?"
"No need," Zhou Yan smiled, "the chefs from the railway system are quite good at cooking!"
Facts have proved that Zhou Yan's experience in his previous life is still useful. The seven or eight dishes prepared by the chef are not said to be at the level of a master, but at least they are full of color, flavor and flavor.
After dinner, the others went back to the private room to rest, and Li Jinling was also "running around".
After several stops, Zhou Yan's father and mother waited for a long time but did not see their niece come back. They were about to send Zhou Yan to find someone. At this moment, Miss Li, who was shaking her head, returned to the private room with a smile.
"Brother, let's play poker?!" Miss Li, with a mysterious face, slowly took out a new pair of unopened playing cards from her pocket.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Is this the gambling mood?
"Hey, Miss Li just went to kill everyone?"
"Hehe..." Li Jinling did not object, which was regarded as acquiescence.
"What to play then?"
"Let's fight the Landlord!" Li Jinling stared at the notebook behind Zhou Yan without any concealment, "But with some luck!"
Qin Ruoshu, who had seen Zhou Yan's gambling skills, looked at Li Jinling with a bit of inexplicable regret: Sister, before you go out, didn't you check the almanac? It's not a good time to gamble today!
"Just the two of us?" Zhou Yan had a smirk on his face.
"I'll go get my sister-in-law!" Li Jinling put down the poker and ran to the private room next door.
Finally, not only did I attract Aunt Zhou Yan, I also attracted Zhou Yan’s father and mother.
The gambling tools are naturally playing cards, and the chips are the leftover fruits contributed by Qin’s mother.
Before the gambling game even started, the eldest lady took out a pair of sunglasses from her pocket and put them on her head.
Cheating?
Even if it's cheating, I'll let you, Kong Fuzi, move, and you'll lose.
However, since Miss Li used high-tech cheating methods, Zhou Yan was not polite and took over the task of shuffling the cards.
In the first round, before the cards were touched, Miss Li had a proud smile on her face.
"Three hearts, call the landlord, one point!"
"Robbing the landlord, three points!"
Li Jinling was a little surprised when she saw Zhou Yan robbing the landowner. She looked up and found that Zhou Yan had collected all the cards and could only see the three of diamonds at the end.
However, the two bombs gave Miss Li great courage.
"Double it!"
"I give up……"
Just when Miss Li was happily welcoming the third explosion, she didn't notice the somewhat sarcastic smile on the corner of her cousin's lips...
