rebirth of change

Now that he had promised Fan Xuexi, Chen Kangjie would not break his promise, and he set off from the capital early the next morning.

From the capital city to Shengjing, the fastest way is of course to take a plane, but the normal flight is only available in the afternoon, and Chen Kangjie is unwilling to send out his own special plane. Fortunately, the distance between the two cities is only a few hundred kilometers. There are also many trains. There is an express train to Shengjing at [-]:[-] in the morning.

Therefore, Chen Kangjie got up early in the morning, had some breakfast in the hotel casually, and drove to the train station after doing some activities. In fact, Chen Kangjie and the others can also drive by land by themselves. The seven-hour drive was quite tiring, so Chen Kangjie gave up this option.

At present, the position of the iron boss is unshakable. It should be said that even ten years later, the position of the iron boss is still stable. If you don't buy a ticket a few days in advance, it will be difficult to get a seat, let alone a sleeper.

However, this difficulty did not exist for Chen Kangjie. He just said hello to Mao Shaoping. An hour later, the station staff delivered the tickets for the two soft sleeper compartments to the door.

There are four people in a soft sleeper box, and Chen Kangjie and the others only have six people. However, considering creating a quiet, safe and comfortable space for Chen Kangjie, Mao Shaoping decided to give eight tickets on his own.

Chen Kangjie from the capital city often came here before his rebirth, but it was the first time for Chen Kangjie to leave the customs, whether it was before his rebirth or in this life.

When Chen Kangjie walked into his soft sleeper box under the guidance of the flight attendant, he found that the bed was not only tidy and new, but also a plate of fruit and a bunch of flowers were prepared on the small table by the window. Of course, Chen Kangjie would not believe the service of Boss Tie at this time. To be able to do so well, if the preparation is exquisite, is nothing more than the consideration that they are special guests.

Before leaving, the flight attendant not only bid farewell graciously, but also asked to greet him at any time if he needed anything. Chen Kangjie thanked them for their excellent service and sat down on the bed on the right hand side.

Considering Chen Kangjie's quiet needs, only he and Liu Deyi are in this private room, Dong Mingshu and Samidov are sitting next door, the four of them can just play cards to pass the time.

Chen Kangjie didn't feel sleepy. When the train left the Beijing Railway Station, Chen Kangjie leaned against the window to enjoy the scenery outside, while Liu Deyi, who was sleeping on the opposite side and got out of bed, opened a magazine by himself to read.

As the train went north, some distant mountains began to appear in the vast space outside the window.

"Jie Shao, isn't this the North China Plain? Why are there mountains?" Just as Chen Kangjie was thinking about what gifts he should buy for Fan Xuexi in Shengjing against the backdrop of the fleeting scenery, Liu Deyi had already put the magazine on the bed and looked out the window. Yuan Shan asked Chen Kangjie.

"Hehe, your knowledge of geography is still not good enough. We are almost out of the North China Plain. Do you know Shanhaiguan Pass?" Chen Kangjie recalled his thoughts and said with a light smile.

"Of course I know about Shanhaiguan. Wasn't Wu Sangui stationed there back then? In the end, because of a Chen Yuanyuan, he led the Qing soldiers into the customs, seized the Han people, and got the official hat of King Pingxi himself..." Liu Deyi was hooked by Chen Kangjie at Shanhaiguan. He started talking, talked a lot, and almost described the plot of "The Deer and Ding Tale".

"Hehe, have you watched "The Deer and Ding Tale" too much?" Chen Kangjie joked, "You should know that in our history, as long as there are relevant places, there are mountains, and all checkpoints are not between two mountains. , it must be in front of the mountain and behind the mountain, and Shanhaiguan is between the capital and Shengjing. By the way, the Qing army you mentioned set off from Shengjing back then. For Li Zicheng's troops, since there is a dangerous pass between the two cities, what's so special about the mountains? This area belongs to the Yanshan Mountains. When we pass the Shanhai Pass, it will basically be flat land..."

"Wow, Master Jie, you are really knowledgeable. Listening to your introduction, it's like taking a history class or a geography class. You can't admire it." Liu Deyi's eyes lit up and his mouth opened, pretending to be surprised Compliments, after getting along for a long time, Liu Deyi has long known that Jie Shao is very knowledgeable.

Although Chen Kangjie never walked this path before and after his rebirth, he still has basic geography knowledge and historical literacy. After reading so many books, it can't be for nothing.

"Stop flattering me, no matter how much you shoot, I won't give you a raise." Chen Kangjie said with a smile.

When Chen Kangjie and Liu Deyi were chatting about the geography and history of this section of the road, the flight attendant who served them came and brought two dining cars.

People who often go out know that the meals on the train are terrible. Not to mention the small quantity and high price, the key point is that the taste is difficult to swallow. If there are not many choices left, most people would not choose the box lunch on the train. Eat a bowl of instant noodles and add two marinated eggs.

Before Chen Kangjie had time to wave his hand to refuse, the two waiters in the cart had already brought out several small dishes. Although each one of them could not be compared with the luxurious dishes in the big restaurant, they were also very delicately prepared. The braised pork, twice-cooked pork, fragrant Spicy shrimp, stir-fried cabbage, and Kung Pao Chicken, all of which were adapted to Chen Kangjie's taste. The room next door where Dong Mingshu and the others were located also served dishes, as well as beer.

"Comrade, what is this?" Chen Kangjie actually knew what was going on, smelling the fragrance in the air, but he still asked.

"Sir, this was arranged by our leader. Please use it slowly. We will clean it up later." The other party's answer was very polite, but Chen Kangjie felt that it was quite mechanical.

In fact, this flight attendant had to be mechanical. She didn't know who Chen Kangjie and the others were. She was also puzzled. Chen Kangjie and the others didn't look like high-ranking officials or businessmen, but they chose to take the train, and they The leader of the railway bureau also put forward service requirements with thousands of reminders. In the end, the flight attendant could only be more worldly, and regarded Chen Kangjie and the others as members of the capital city. I know that the leaders of the Railway Bureau pay so much attention to it.

Obviously, the flight attendant guessed wrong. Speaking of which, even the leader of the railway bureau didn’t know who was on the train. All of this was done on the commission of Mao Shaoping. Since the leader didn’t know, then this How could a flight attendant who can only execute orders know it.

Since all the good food and meals were delivered, and he didn't have to pay a penny himself, Chen Kangjie didn't have to be polite. He just picked up the chopsticks and ate them. Over the years, this meal was what Chen Kangjie ate on the train. The most hearty and sumptuous meal, although it is not a big dish, but the skill of the cooking chef is still very good, it is fragrant and delicious, and it goes well with the meal. Chen Kangjie ate three bowls of rice before putting down his chopsticks.

…………

Looking at the unfamiliar Shengjing Railway Station, Chen Kangjie hesitated for a moment. Although there were a few high-rise buildings in the distance, they were not as prosperous as he imagined. In his mind, as the largest city in Northeast China, not to mention bright and prosperous, at least It should be very tidy, but the square of the train station is in chaos, taxis, vans to attract customers, and many tricycles can be seen everywhere. As for the snack sellers, they are pushing snack carts around.

In fact, Chen Kangjie made a wrong comparison. It is currently the most difficult period for the megacity of Shengjing. As the famous old industrial base of the Republic, a large number of super-large and large state-owned industrial enterprises have gathered here. In the era of planned economy, these enterprises herald The automobile industry, machinery industry, metallurgy industry, etc. are very developed, and all parts of the country have to take a high look at this place. However, with the deepening of opening up, these state-owned enterprises with aging thinking and heavy burdens are in the tide of the market economy. Under the impact of the turmoil, they are increasingly unable to adapt to the development of the times. Many enterprises are struggling. More and more state-owned enterprises, not to mention profitable development, are considered good enough to support themselves. Against this background, this densely populated The big cities in China are slow-moving, and a little bit overwhelmed by these heavy burdens. Now there are tens of 10 workers in state-owned enterprises that everyone envied.

Chen Kangjie's visit to Shengjing this time was a temporary motion, without notifying any subordinate organization, so no one came to greet him, and he didn't tell Fan Xuexi how he would come, so of course he didn't see Fan Xuexi either.

"Bacon pancakes, some bosses, let's have some bacon pancakes, it's delicious and satisfy your hunger."

"Big cold noodles, big cold noodles, boss, have two bowls."

……

After standing on the square in front of the train station for a short while, Chen Kangjie and the others met several groups of hawkers recommending local snacks.

If he hadn't eaten on the train, Chen Kangjie would really like to buy some. Although there was no communication, Chen Kangjie could tell that many of these hawkers should be laid-off workers. In order to solve their livelihood, they had to find their own way out.

"Mr. Jie, where are we going now?" Including Chen Kangjie, this group of people came to this city for the first time, and they didn't know the purpose of Chen Kangjie's trip, so they were all waiting for Chen Kangjie to make up his mind, pondering for a while Seeing that Chen Kangjie didn't give an order, Dong Mingshu could only ask.

"Let's find a place to live first."

"Jie Shao, Mengting Hotel also has a branch here, do you want to go there?" Dong Mingshu asked tentatively.

"No, let's go to the Intercontinental Hotel." Chen Kangjie waved his hand and pointed at the advertisement on the body of a bus.

After taking two taxis, they arrived at the entrance of a luxurious hotel in 10 minutes. The reason why they didn't go to Mengting Hotel was because Chen Kangjie's trip was too personal and he didn't want too many people. Know.
