Living like a salted fish in the end times

Chapter 334 Gift: Zhuhui Subway

Zhang Hao read Ji Zhangqiu's letter back and forth three times, and finally figured out some hidden information.

Generally speaking, the content of this letter is quite satisfactory, and it can be regarded as an upgraded version of the conversation in the afternoon. The only surprise is...

how to say?

If he guessed correctly.

Ji Zhangqiu seems to be interested in supporting his re-election.

This is completely different from what he thought before, and he doesn't know what went wrong, but anyway, this change is very beneficial to him.

He is naturally happy to see it happen.

After a while, Yang Huaqing came back.

Zhang Hao hurriedly put away the letter paper, and asked casually, "Is Guoguo asleep? Are you not used to it?"

"She's a little doll, what's she not used to? On the contrary, An An and Kang Kang were a little over excited, and they were lying on the bed chatting non-stop."

Yang Huaqing complained.

"Let them go!" Zhang Hao smiled and waved his hands.

Yang Huaqing took off her coat and lay back on the bed.

Zhang Hao patted his head and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, there is something I forgot to tell you. There is an important event tomorrow. You can attend it with me."

"What activity? How long will it take?"

Yang Huaqing hurriedly asked.

"Tomorrow, the subway from Zhucheng to Huicheng will officially open. The two of us need to go there to attend the opening ceremony and take the first train for a test ride. It will take about half a day for the whole journey." Zhang Hao replied.

In fact, Zhuhui Metro could be opened as early as last week, but in order to celebrate the transition from old to new, it was postponed for a week.

Seriously speaking, it took more than ten years from the planning to the completion of this subway line. If it hadn't been for the economic difficulties encountered in the middle, it should have been completed a few years ago.

"Why so long?" Yang Huaqing looked puzzled.

Zhang Hao explained helplessly: "Tomorrow is my first official appearance, so I definitely can't just go through the motions."

"What about Guoguo?"

"Let the staff below help take it down. Anyway, it will only take one day, and I will definitely be able to come back at night."

Yang Huaqing quickly shook her head: "I don't worry about handing it over to outsiders. Why don't my mother stay? My father is going to Minde to stay for a while, and Haoxuan will come to work here soon, so it's just right for my mother to stay. .”

As for Li Dajuan, not only did she have to take care of Zhang Chongxin, but also her two grandchildren, they couldn't do without her at all.

"Okay, as long as the mother-in-law is willing, you can stay as long as you want." Zhang Hao was happy and relaxed.

"Then it's settled. I'll go tell my mother now and tell her not to go back tomorrow."

Yang Huaqing couldn't help showing a relaxed smile.

"It's too late, let's talk tomorrow morning!"

Zhang Hao grabbed his wife.

"Okay." Yang Huaqing nodded, and then asked, "What time do you leave tomorrow morning?"

"Depart at nine o'clock, and the opening ceremony is at ten o'clock."

"I see."

……

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Zhang Hao and his wife personally sent a large group of relatives to the car.

Zhang Chongxin and Li Dajuan were also among them.

There is no way, An An and Kang Kang only took two days off, and they still have to go to school in the afternoon, so they have to go back no matter what.

Accompanied by a team of Security Bureau staff, their president is stationed in Huicheng, responsible for the safety of everyone in the old Zhang family around the clock.

These are customary.

After seeing off his family, relatives and friends, Zhang Hao sent his eldest son and second son to school along the way. There was also a team of ten bodyguards beside them.

The main reason why there are so many people is because of the special extreme night environment, which is prone to problems. In order to prevent accidents, we can only strengthen the security force.

Watching his father's convoy leave, Zhang Guoji turned his head to look at the team leader beside him, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Captain Wang, are you just following us like this? Will it reveal our identities?"

"Eldest son..."

Zhang Guoji quickly waved his hand: "It's too awkward to call you son, you can call me by my name directly."

"Okay, classmate Zhang, you two brothers can rest assured about the confidentiality issue."

Wang Lianjun paused, then pointed to the four male colleagues one by one, and patiently explained:
"The four of them will be transferred to the classes of the two of you respectively, and will even live in the same dormitory with you. Others, including me, will also have cover identities in school and will not be exposed."

Hearing this, Zhang Guoxuan couldn't help interjecting: "I have a question, I'm dating my girlfriend, don't you want to follow me too?"

"Cough, for the sake of your safety, please be patient. Under normal circumstances, we all need personal protection, except indoors, of course."

Wang Lianjun replied solemnly.

"Then does my girlfriend need a bodyguard?"

Zhang Guoxuan followed up and asked.

His girlfriend is very beautiful, and beautiful girls are more likely to be in danger.

"Student Zhang Guoxuan, if you need something on your side, we can arrange it."

Zhang Guoji casually pointed to a female bodyguard:

"Can you arrange for her to go?"

Wang Lianjun shook his head: "No, we have a fixed number of people, and it won't matter if there is one less. As for your girlfriend, we will send another person there."

"Can you choose a female bodyguard?"

"No problem at all."

Zhang Guoxuan immediately showed a smiling face: "Thank you, my girlfriend is also here in the university town. I have long wanted to arrange a bodyguard for her, but she has been firmly opposed to it, and this time it is finally justified."

"You're welcome, this is our job."

"Captain Wang..." Zhang Guoxuan paused for a moment, then suddenly changed his words: "Why don't I call you Brother Wang? It's more cordial this way."

"No problem, you can do whatever you want."

Wang Lianjun nodded.

"Brother Wang, I'll send you my girlfriend's information later. You can arrange it as soon as possible. It's best to arrange it as a classmate like us."

Zhang Guoxuan was a little impatient.

Wang Lianjun smiled and shook his head: "Student Zhang Guoxuan, we already have your girlfriend's information, and we can arrange bodyguards tomorrow at the earliest."

"That's great." Zhang Guoxuan couldn't help but said, "Brother Wang, I'll treat you to a big meal this weekend."

"No, no, we have discipline..."

Wang Lianjun repeatedly refused.

"It's okay not to treat guests, but you always need to eat, right? Adding a few dishes is not too much, right?"

Zhang Guoji helped persuade.

"This one……"

"You're welcome, that's the deal." Zhang Guoxuan stepped forward and hugged the other party's shoulders: "Brother Wang, I think you are not a few years older than us, so let's just call them brothers from now on?"

"It's not in compliance."

Wang Lianjun hesitated.

"Regulations are dead, but people are alive. If we have a good relationship, wouldn't it be more conducive to your security work?"

"Hey, I'll ask the leader for instructions later."

"We are waiting for your good news."

……

At 45: in the morning, Zhang Hao and his group finally arrived at Zhucheng Railway Station, the starting station of the Zhuhui Metro Line.

"Clap clap clap..."

There was warm applause at the scene.

After Zhang Hao got off the car, he waved to the crowd.

Although he had ten days of closed training before taking office, it was the first time in his life, so he was still somewhat nervous.

Fortunately, there were two acquaintances at the scene, one was He Yong from Guangdong Province, and the other was Chen Yiting from Zhucheng.

I don't know why, ten years have passed, and Chen Yiting has worked in his original position for more than ten years, neither promoted nor transferred to other places.

"Governing..."

"We are old friends, just call me Lao Zhang."

"Old Zhang, welcome to check the work."

Chen Yiting took the lead in welcoming.

"Everyone has worked hard."

Under the introduction of Chen Yiting, Zhang Hao stepped forward and shook hands with everyone one by one.

Afterwards, everyone lined up to enter the subway station.

Looking at the stairs under his feet, Zhang Hao couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, so he asked Chen Yiting beside him:
"Old Chen, why didn't you install an escalator?"

You should know that subway stations are usually two to 30 meters deep, which is equivalent to the height of a four or five-story building. Basically, all subway stations have escalators.

Chen Yiting hurriedly replied: "The reason why no escalators are installed is to save money on the one hand, and to facilitate people's travel on the other hand."

"Easy to travel? How to say?"

Zhang Hao was a little surprised.

"Consul, once the subway is opened, it will definitely become the first choice for people to travel. The degree of congestion can be imagined at that time. In order to speed up the traffic efficiency and ensure safety, ordinary stairs are more suitable for the current environment."

Chen Yiting explained in detail.

He Yong followed suit and said, "Actually, the escalators in all the subway stations in Huicheng have also been dismantled. There is really no way. There are too many passengers. A major safety accident almost happened before."

Zhang Hao nodded: "So that's what happened."

At the bottom of the subway station, Yang Huaqing let go of her husband's arm. Unlike the ground, the underground space was grandly decorated, with banners and decorations hanging everywhere, creating a festive scene.

Zhang Hao felt it, and couldn't help frowning: "Why isn't the subway station heated?"

"Old Zhang." Chen Yiting explained with a wry smile: "It's still the same reason I just said, the subway station is too crowded, there is no need for heating, but ventilation is more needed."

"It's me who didn't think well."

Zhang Hao immediately admitted his mistake.

He has not taken the subway for several years, and he is a bit unfamiliar with the subway environment.

This point needs attention.

Next, the opening ceremony officially began.

Because there is a sandstorm outside, it can only be arranged underground. In order to avoid crowding, there are not many people on site, definitely no more than 1000 people.

Among them, a considerable number of citizen representatives are also included. They came here specially to test ride the subway.

After the ceremony started, Zhang Hao's speech was the first. He took out the speech script prepared by the Secretariat and read it for more than ten minutes at a stretch.

"Clap clap clap..."

After Zhang Hao’s speech was over, the organizer invited three more representatives to speak one after another. One was a representative of the construction company, one was a representative of the supervisor, and the last one was Chen Yiting.

Then came the ribbon-cutting session.

Including Zhang Hao and his wife, a total of eight or nine people participated in the ribbon-cutting. Facing the camera, everyone cut off the bright red ribbon in front of them at the same time.

"Clap clap clap..."

The applause rang out again.

Amid warm applause, Zhang Hao and his wife followed Chen Yiting to a small red wooden table with a red button on it.

"Old Zhang, this is the departure signal."

Zhang Hao nodded with a smile, and then the couple pressed the button together. In an instant, many ribbons fell from the top of their heads, and at the same time, a voice broadcast sounded on the radio.

"Dear guests and passengers, welcome to Zhuhui Metro Line 10. The terminal station of this train is Huicheng South Railway Station. The journey takes three hours and minutes..."

Zhang Hao turned his head and asked the person in charge of the subway company beside him, "How far is the distance between the departure station and the destination station?"

"Report to the leader, about a hundred kilometers."

"Not far, why did it take so long?"

The person in charge of the subway company quickly explained: "There are two main reasons for this. One is that there are more stops; the other is that the flow of people is too large and it takes a longer time to stop, so it takes so long."

"How many stations are there in total on this line?"

Zhang Hao asked casually.

"There were 55 stops in total."

The person in charge of the subway company replied.

"So much? Is it necessary?"

Zhang Hao looked very surprised.

Chen Yiting couldn't help but interjected: "In addition to the commuting function, this subway is also a refuge, and more entrances and exits are also necessary."

"Sanctuary? I see."

Zhang Hao suddenly realized.

In the event of severe weather, the subway is deep underground, which is indeed the best place to take refuge.

As soon as the voice fell, the train happened to arrive at the station.

"Two, let's get in the car!"

Chen Yiting quickly made an invitation gesture.

Under the leadership of Zhang Hao, everyone at the scene entered the train compartment in an orderly manner.

Zhang Hao dragged his wife to find a random seat and sat down. Chen Yiting and others sat next to him. Basically, in this carriage, except for the media reporters, they were all managers at all levels.

After the train departed, Zhang Hao looked around. The layout of the carriage was the same as in his impression, the only difference was the advertisement.

There are very few advertisements, and they are all public service advertisements.

"Manager Sun, what is the fare for this subway?" Yang Huaqing asked casually.

"It's the same as the charging standard in the urban area, two yuan for short-distance and four yuan for long-distance."

The person in charge of the subway company replied.

Originally, there was no subway in Zhucheng. Later, relying on the location advantage of the capital, six lines were built in one go in the past ten years or so.

In addition, there are eight other lines in the plan, adding up to a total of fourteen lines. The density is so high that it is more than Huicheng and other big cities.

Zhang Hao couldn't help asking curiously: "With such a low fare, is the subway company losing money?"

You know, the current two yuan is almost equivalent to the thirty-five cents before the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano. Under normal circumstances, the loss must be a mess.

"Because of the high passenger flow and some commercial development, overall the loss is not much, and it is still within the acceptable range." The person in charge of the subway company replied truthfully.

"Yes, the subway is originally an important livelihood project...We must always keep in mind the first mission of serving the people and making benefits for the people..."

Zhang Hao talked eloquently to the camera.

These words were sorted out by Chief of Staff Xia Congwen for him, and they were all occasional words.

"Clap clap clap..."

ps: Please recommend tickets and monthly tickets.
