Chapter 539: A Sea of People (Part 2)
Reaching the platform, Candy wasn’t the least bit confused, leading the way forward.
Her little head had a great memory.
To board a high-speed train, run towards the front of the train. That’s the way!
But this time, Candy barely took three steps before Mo Jingchun picked her up with one hand.
"Where are you running to? You’re going the wrong way."
Under Mo Jingchun’s strong hand, Candy did a complete about-face.
"See, high-speed trains have two heads. Don’t just run toward the head when you see one."
"It’s crowded today, so I won’t teach you how to identify the coach location. I’ll do it next time when there are fewer people."
After saying this, Mo Jingchun didn’t let go but instead handed Candy over to Feiyan.
The high-speed train was about to enter the station. Allowing your child to run around on the platform is extremely irresponsible.
Generally, high-speed trains have ten business class seats divided evenly in each direction from the train heads.
But this time, Mo Jingchun and his group had booked an entire business class coach.
Zhou Yaling, sitting in business class for the first time on a high-speed train, felt a bit uneasy, curiously studying the seats.
Candy, on the other hand, was different. With a flurry of moves, she reclined the seat flat.
Under Zhou Yaling’s watchful eyes, Candy returned the reclined seat to its original position.
Ah~ just playing around.
"Sis, want some snacks?"
"They’re free."
At the mention of money, Candy’s expression turned serious.
With a puzzled look from Zhou Yaling, she fished out... two coins from her pocket???
Seeing her little money was still there, Candy visibly sighed with relief.
Clearly, this was a classic case of red envelope loss syndrome.
"Where did you get them?" a puzzled Zhou Yaling reached out, wanting to have a look, but Candy quickly pulled back her hand, looking at Zhou Yaling defensively.
"Big sis, all I have in the world is this."
"I earned it through hard work."
In the coach, Xu Pengfei and others all looked at Candy with amused expressions.
Come next year, when Candy’s in first grade, she’ll know just how wealthy her family is.
By then, the little one can rightfully ask for pocket money.
Looking at Candy’s defensive stance, Zhou Yaling sneered slightly.
"Let me show you what it means to be rich."
Saying this, Zhou Yaling took out a wallet from her shoulder bag.
Under Mo Jingchun and the others’ speechless gazes, she pulled out a wad of red bills.
In an instant, Candy’s eyes went wide, and the two coins in her hand seemed less appealing.
Luckily, there was no conductor around, or they might have thought Zhou Yaling was some nouveau riche.
"Sis, do you want to trade with me~"
In the face of big money, Candy even changed her address.
"Dream on."
With that, Zhou Yaling smugly put the money away.
To be honest, those two thousand yuan had been sitting in her wallet for more than a year.
It was the New Year’s gift money.
At twenty-four years old, still receiving New Year’s money, is that a problem? Not at all!
Outside the window, trees and distant buildings were slowly retreating, but Mo Jingchun, sitting on the high-speed train, didn’t feel much of a bump.
Having nothing to do, Xu Pengfei, sitting in the back row, curiously asked:
"Boss, it seems like you don’t really like flying."
"It’s not that I don’t like it." Shaking his head, Mo Jingchun said self-deprecatingly:
"It’s mainly because there are too many people trying to catch me and Candy."
On a plane, if there’s a sudden situation, you’re pretty much stuck.
Plus, I quite value my life; or to put it bluntly, I’m afraid of dying.
"Boss, then why not buy a private jet?"
Mo Jingchun looked back at Xu Pengfei in surprise, "What’s the point of buying a private jet?"
"Huo County doesn’t have an airport, and besides, I don’t go abroad, so buying a private jet doesn’t make much sense."
In fact, Mo Jingchun had another thought he didn’t voice, which is that he was a bit unimpressed with commercial aircraft.
After all, he had the technology to manufacture aerospace fighters.
"That makes sense."
"It’s not just makes sense, it’s a fact."
Talking about transportation, Mo Jingchun raised an eyebrow and turned to Xu Pengfei, asking:
"I haven’t focused on the county’s subway for a long time; how’s the progress?"
Xu Pengfei shrugged and replied with a smile: "On schedule, but when it can officially operate is hard to say."
"Boss, you know, subways aren’t like other projects; they rarely finish on time."
After pondering for a moment, Mo Jingchun nodded.
In the afternoon, when Mo Jingchun and the others arrived at Jing City South Station, there was a long queue.
VIP treatment? Out of the question.
At this time, everyone entering the city had to go through multiple security checks.
Mo Jingchun and his group had no complaints about this and cooperated fully.
After dinner, Mo Jingchun jokingly told everyone:
"Everyone needs to get to bed early tonight. Tomorrow if we wake up late, who knows if we’ll even get in."
Sitting next to Mo Jingchun, Xu Pengfei looked at the bodyguards who were as strong as oxen and felt there wouldn’t be a problem.
The next morning, before dawn, Zero woke Mo Jingchun up.
"Boss, Candy is knocking on the door."
In pajamas and without slippers, Mo Jingchun yawned and got up from the bed to open the door.
Sure enough, there was Candy, standing with her hands on her hips, glaring at him with wide eyes.
And the smartwatch on Candy’s wrist was still glowing, clearly having just been communicating with Zero.
"What time is it, and you’re already up."
Candy, with the demeanor of an adult, said:
"Sis said if we’re late, there won’t be any seats."
In an instant, Mo Jingchun woke up halfway.
Mo Jingchun curiously said, "We have invitations; there are designated areas with designated seats. Doesn’t your sister know?"
Reserved seats? Candy blinked her eyes.
The next second, understanding, Candy sighed.
"Brother, you didn’t mention that, so how would Sis know?"
"If Sis doesn’t know, how would Guoguo take it seriously?"
Rubbing his nose; he’s not taking the blame for this one.
"Since you’re up, let’s be up. Go and wake Xu Pengfei Uncle too."
Just turning around, as Mo Jingchun prepared to wash his face and brush his teeth, he heard Candy exclaim behind him:
"Brother, Xu Pengfei Uncle is already up too? You didn’t know~"
"Yeah, right, it was my omission, my bad."
Mo Jingchun stumbled and nearly fell.
The way of talking, the tone, why did it sound so familiar?
After arriving at the plaza via a dedicated shuttle, Mo Jingchun and the others were stunned.
People, as far as the eye could see, it was people and more people.
A sea of people aptly described the scene at this moment.
Taking out their invitations, volunteers guided them forward.
Held by the hand by Mo Jingchun, Candy looked left and right, only to see a sea of adult backsides, and nothing else, which made her fume.
"Brother, I want a shoulder ride!"
"I don’t want to look at all your big butts."
Mo Jingchun chuckled and picked Candy up.
