Chapter 161 - 107: Experiencing the Vicissitudes of the Human World (8000 words)
Next day.
Outside Hangcheng High-Speed Railway Station.
The Bentley Flying Spur was steadily parked in the temporary parking lot outside the station...
Last night, on the way back to the hotel from FT, Gu Heng asked Chen Hao to book a ticket from Hang City to Shanghai for him...
Having driven so much over the past half month back home, Gu Heng truly no longer wanted to drive himself...
Since Chen Hao had not given a definitive answer about becoming his personal butler, Gu Heng certainly couldn’t order him to drive to Shanghai, so he had to opt for the high-speed train...
Originally, Gu Heng had planned to experience his first flight and take a plane to Shanghai...
But there was only one flight route from Hang City to Shanghai, from Xiaoshan Airport to Hongqiao Airport, and when checking the route, it would almost take an hour to drive from Park Hyatt Hotel to Xiaoshan Airport...
An hour, by which time he could have already reached Shanghai by high-speed train...
For this reason, Gu Heng gave up the absurd act and chose the high-speed train...
Life is long; he could always experience his first flight some other time...
.....
.....
"Mr. Gu, we have arrived at Hangcheng East Station."
Gu Heng, who had been catching up on sleep in the back seat, heard Chen Hao’s voice and struggled to open his heavy eyelids, slowly opening his eyes...
Last night was too crazy...
Lin Jiayun hadn’t seen him for half a month and became like a juicer, eager to squeeze every drop out of Gu Heng...Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Let’s go."
After loosening up his stiff body, Gu Heng took the sunglasses from Chen Hao’s hand, put them on, and walked slowly towards the station interior...
.....
The walk from the parking area to the waiting hall wasn’t far, just a few minutes’ stroll.
Just as Gu Heng was ready to follow the crowd into the waiting hall, Chen Hao quickly reached out and grabbed his arm...
"What’s up?"
Gu Heng looked back at him in confusion.
"The ticket I booked for you, Mr. Gu, is a business class ticket, which comes with a separate entrance and VIP waiting hall, over this way..."
As he spoke, he led Gu Heng towards another entrance that wasn’t crowded...
Hearing what Chen Hao said, Gu Heng subconsciously paused, and when he realized what was meant, he couldn’t help but blush with embarrassment...
Though he had taken trains and high-speed trains several times before, he had always traveled in regular seats and had never taken business class. The idea of a VIP waiting hall hadn’t even crossed his mind as he instinctively headed for the main waiting area. It was fortunate that his embarrassment was hidden behind the large sunglasses...
Otherwise, the cool image he had built up in front of so many people would have been utterly shattered...
Adjusting his mindset, Gu Heng followed Chen Hao to the VIP entrance...
Compared to the busy scenes of the waiting hall, the VIP entrance was much quieter. At the door, he heard two women chatting and laughing in the Hang City dialect...
They straightened up quickly and became formally attentive when they saw Gu Heng and Chen Hao approaching, promptly standing up: "Welcome to Hangcheng East Station’s VIP passenger waiting channel. Please present your IDs."
The women’s voices carried the uniquely soft intonation of Jiangnan, both wearing disposable masks so that only their eyes were visible. Even just by these pairs of eyes, one could guess that their appearances were probably quite pleasant...
However, Gu Heng wasn’t there to look at beautiful women. He complied and handed over his ID...
