Tianqu City has two railway stations, one in the old city area and the other in XC District.
The railway station in the old city, which was built in 1908, has experienced more than a hundred years of ups and downs. Before the advent of the high-speed rail era, that railway station was the gateway to Tianqu City.
It's a pity that the era of faster and more comfortable high-speed rail has arrived, and now the old railway station can only undertake some freight tasks and a few ordinary passenger car passenger tasks.
Tianqu East Station, built in 2010, is a railway station specially built for high-speed railway. It is the largest and highest-level railway station in the prefecture-level cities along the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway. Both the building area and the advanced level of facilities far exceed the old railway stations in the urban area.
When Yang Jing was in college in Jinling, he took the high-speed train from this train station every year, so he is more familiar with this train station.
After getting off the bus, I followed the not-so-large crowd out of Tianqu East Station. As soon as I exited the station, that familiar feeling immediately hit me.
Whether it was the slightly dry air or the familiar voices around him, Yang Jing felt like crying again.
Standing blankly at the exit, Yang Jing breathed greedily. The originally noisy sound now seemed so familiar.
Two years! It has been more than two years since I breathed such familiar air and heard such a kind voice.
"Master, do you want to take a taxi? It's only 30 yuan to the bus station and the old train station." A question with Tianqu's unique accent abruptly interrupted Yang Jing's enjoyment, which made Yang Jing very dissatisfied.
After glancing at the taxi driver, Yang Jing ignored him.
However, a taxi driver would have developed a thick skin long ago, so the driver did not take it as an offense and continued to say with a smile: "Master, where are you going? Take my car, it will be safe, comfortable, and save money."
"Hey, teacher, where are you going? Can you take my car?"
"Master, my car is parked over there..."
......
In just a dozen seconds, five or six taxi drivers came up and asked Yang Jing in an expectant voice.
No wonder these drivers all set their sights on Yang Jing. Before returning home, Yang Jing splurged and spent more than 8,000 pounds to buy an Armani casual suit and windbreaker in London. Yang Jing himself has a good figure and is a real clothes hanger. Coupled with the temperament he developed during his two years of studying abroad, this set of clothes looks very stylish on him.
To use Tianqu's words, it is very eye-catching.
Especially when Yang Jing raised his hand, he inadvertently revealed the Patek Philippe Platinum World Time watch worth millions of dollars, which added countless charm to him invisibly.
Even abroad, many people cannot recognize the watch on Yang Jing's wrist, let alone in China. Not to mention this watch, even the Patek Philippe brand is probably not recognized by most ordinary people in China.
But a famous watch is a famous watch, especially a famous watch made by Master Cottier himself. Even if you can't recognize it, you can still see that the watch is extraordinary. A famous watch is like a famous car. You can't recognize the brand of some famous cars, but you can tell at a glance that it is definitely a good car.
The same is true for famous watches.
Compared with the popular high-end imitation watches in China, the Patek Philippe Platinum World Time watch created by Master Cottier is like a crane standing among a flock of chickens. Even if you can't tell that the crane is a red-crowned crane, a crane is a crane, and it can never be compared with a chicken.
The taxi drivers in Tianqu are like this, especially the taxi drivers who are "camping" near the train station and long-distance passenger transport center. As long as they see a passenger, regardless of whether the passenger wants to get in the car or not, these guys will surround him.
Whether or not to take the bus is another matter. Go up and say hello and ask, what if they are taking the bus? This is a job.
The taxi industry in Tianqu is not doing well now, with too many people and too few jobs.
The small city has a total population of less than 600,000 people, but there are more than 2,700 regular rental cars. Add to that the recently popular Didi Taxi and those black cars that do not have regular taxi procedures, it would be strange if the taxi business in the small city could be good.
Having so many taxi drivers surrounding him made Yang Jing feel both annoyed and friendly.
When I was attending university in Jinling a few years ago, I would encounter this situation every time I returned to Tianqu from Jinling as soon as I exited the high-speed rail station.
Some taxi drivers who are more determined will continue to follow you even if you tell them that you don't want to take a taxi, and will keep muttering in your ears things like "Take my taxi", which is very annoying.
This situation had not occurred again in the two years since Yang Jing went to London. When he encountered it now, he seemed to have returned to two years ago.
After calming down, Yang Jing waved to the taxi driver who spoke to him first and asked, "How much is it to the East District of the Thirteenth Bureau?"
Tianqu East Station is located at the easternmost part of the development zone. Although Tianqu City later divided Ling, a subordinate county further east, into Lingcheng District, making Tianqu East Station the middle between Lingcheng District and the development zone, the development time here is too short after all, and it is far from the prosperity of the old city. Therefore, when taking a taxi from Tianqu East Station back to the city, taxis usually rarely use meters. They just agree on a price, and if both parties think it is suitable, they get in the car and leave.
Yang Jing's home is in the dormitory of the former 13th Hydropower Engineering Bureau. Yang Jing's father, Yang Xiuping, is an employee of the 13th Bureau. Later, the 13th Bureau built a building and employees could buy houses at a low price. So Yang Jing's father bought a three-bedroom apartment there, and the family left the Yimian dormitory and moved there.
