Chapter 268 The high-end second generation
The autumn outing was noisy until the evening, and then we reluctantly embarked on the return journey.
When I arrived, I had large and small bags of supplies, but when I left, I was empty-handed, and my mood and pace became much more relaxed.
Class teacher Shi Dinghai followed the commotion for a while and left early.
Without the teacher, these children had more fun.
In addition to the originally planned program and game sessions, Truth or Dare lasted almost two hours...
Two minibuses were already waiting at the entrance of the Forest Park. As they lined up to get on the bus, a group of excited students showed their tiredness after a day of playing.
Xu Chen went straight to the back row, took out his cell phone and recorded something.
Today’s “autumn outing” also brought unexpected rewards.
The submission to the advertising competition gained inspiration. Xu Chen made a comprehensive judgment that winning a prize in the "Daguang Competition" is almost a sure thing.
He has studied the award-winning works of the past years, investigated the judges of this year, and even read the "works" of the chairman of the judges...
The inspiration and ideas captured during the autumn outing today will be perfected in the copywriting and picture conception when I go back in the evening, and then I can ask Sun Amy to help make a graphic draft.
Xu Chen didn't expect that the creative inspiration would come from the two middle-aged men who complained about their boring life today...
He calculated that he would have to stay up late and work overtime tonight and tomorrow.
Strike while the iron is hot and finish writing the plans for the advertising competition and Kunlun Mountain. After all, Brother Bing’s competition in Osaka is imminent.
……
……
When everyone took the ferry and returned to the "Shidongkou" pier, it was already dark.
The setting sun dyes the sky red and the water bank is covered with fire and clouds.
A group of students were sitting and waiting on the steps of the pier, looking a little tired after playing all day.
Xu Chen found a corner, holding his mobile phone and trying to find every opportunity to sort out his plan ideas.
……
Huo Dashan went to contact the bus driver, but when the call failed, he ran straight to the parking lot.
The students here were still talking and laughing, taking the opportunity to drink water and use the bathroom to rest.
Monitor Min Siyi looked up and saw Huo Dashan coming back, frowning and looking panicked.
"What's wrong?" Min Siyi sensed that something might be wrong.
Huo Dashan seemed a little hesitant, but still said:
"The bus...has a problem."
Min Siyi: "What's the problem?"
Huo Dashan: "The driver asked for extra money at the last minute, and he asked for an extra three thousand..."
Min Siyi: "How is this possible? Isn't it booked by a regular travel agency?"
Huo Dashan: “I booked it through a travel agency, but this kind of thing did happen to me.
He disliked our late return and said we had waited too long.
He also said that it is almost dark now, so this counts as overtime work..."
Min Siyi: "It's clear that you are blackmailing us!"
Huo Dashan: "It's just plainly blackmailing us...
I just went out and took a look. The dock was originally a farmland and industrial area, and now I'm afraid I can't even get a taxi. ”
Min Siyi: "..."
She looked around: "Let's ask the staff over there."
Huo Dashan: "I have already asked, and he gave Zhang the contact information of the travel agency, which is the one we are contacting now."
Min Siyi thought for a while: "What should we do? How about paying the three thousand yuan first, and then we can discuss this matter with the other travel agency after we go back.
It's almost dark. In this wilderness, we'd better send everyone back first. ”
Huo Dashan lowered his head slightly, but showed a hint of embarrassment:
"What's wrong?" Min Siyi asked.
Huo Dashan: "I just couldn't hold back my anger, so I had a quarrel with the driver on the phone, and he drove away directly."
Min Siyi finally couldn't hide her anxiety: "How can this be possible?!"
But she immediately forced herself to calm down and looked back at the twenty or so students:
"There are still many classmates from Shanghai. If nothing else works, we can only ask them to contact their parents and pick them up from the city, and take all their classmates back with them.
Or...just contact the class teacher for help. ”
I should say it or not, but this girl from Sichuan, who looks quiet on the surface but is actually strong, is still calm enough when encountering problems.
Even better than Huo Dashan in front of him.
Min Siyi paused and whispered:
"It's just that... it will make us, the class committee, a little embarrassed."
Several girls came over from behind...
They saw what the two were discussing from a distance and saw that they couldn't wait for the bus, so they were still curious and came over to ask.
Unexpectedly, Huo Dashan had a big mouth at this moment and directly stated the problem.
Min Siyi was extremely speechless and couldn't stop her even if she wanted to.
Sure enough...
When several girls heard that the driver ran away and left everyone at the dock in the desert, they instantly became panicked and frightened.
"Ah?! Then what should we do! It's dark and there's no one here!"
"This is a suburban countryside, you can't even find anyone when you go out!"
"Isn't the bus arranged by the class committee? Why did such a thing happen?!"
……
When a few "little fairies" started making a fuss, things went crazy in an instant.
Min Siyi tried her best to comfort her, but her panic and anxiety were still exaggerated by these seventeen-year-old girls.
Xu Chen was squatting in the corner and finally heard the movement here.
He stood up and walked over. After hearing a few words from the crowd, he knew the whole story, and was speechless in his heart.
In the past few years, even in cities like Shanghai, this kind of blackmailing of tourists still happens from time to time.
It is estimated that the driver saw a group of young and careless students and started to think of extorting some money.
There is indeed a problem with the choice of this pier. It is nearly an hour and a half drive from the city center, and the neighborhood is indeed "wilderness".
The driver probably felt that it was almost dark, so he had no choice but to accept the request for more money...
Unexpectedly, Huo Dashan, who has a "high emotional intelligence", did not hold back his anger at this moment and directly had a quarrel with the driver, causing the driver to leave.
……
Let’s solve the problem first.
Xu Chen walked up to Huo Dashan and Min Siyi, both of whom looked anxious at the moment.
Min Siyi saw Xu Chen coming over, and for some reason, she felt a little calmer.
Xu Chen glanced at the faces of Min Siyi and Huo Dashan and knew that there was nothing they could do.
There were still complaints coming from behind, and several "little fairies" had already begun to condemn the "class committee".
Xu Chen was still a little speechless. The mentality of these little girls was really that of "little girls."
He thought for a while and said directly:
"Please be patient, everyone, the class committee has a plan.
I've found another car here and am on my way!
Don’t worry, everyone...”
Min Siyi and Huo Dashan looked at each other with confusion on their faces.
Several noisy girls finally calmed down a little after hearing Xu Chen's words.
"Really Xu Chen? It's already dark, let the car come quickly!"
"Yes, how long will it take! There is no one on this pier, and it is not safe!"
……
Xu Chen smiled gently and said:
"Don't worry, everyone, the car has been found and is coming.
I'll make another call to confirm how long it will take on the road...
There is no need to worry about safety. This is on the pier, so it is relatively safe.
Besides, there are many of us, and there are eight strong boys here! You really won’t be afraid even if bad guys come! ”
Hearing this, several men who had been huddled behind quickly gathered around.
"Yeah, don't worry, everyone, everything will be fine as long as we are here."
"Don't panic, it's safe here."......
Your words to me instantly suppressed my anxiety and panic.
Xu Chen said with a smile: "Chen Wenyi, Huang Hao... you guys, escort the girls first and wait in the pavilion next to it.
The car will be here in a moment, so don't worry. ”
Several boys responded, then greeted a group of worried-looking girls, and walked to the side to rest and wait.
……
……
Min Siyi and Huo Dashan looked at Xu Chen, their faces still looking bad.
Huo Dashan said: "Xu Chen, did you really find the car?"
Xu Chen: "Not yet, I'm looking for it now."
Huo Dashan: "Ah?!"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
He immediately showed a look of panic and fear again.
Xu Chen reached out and patted his shoulder:
"I can find it, brother, don't panic, I'll make a call."
With that said, Xu Chen took a few steps away.
Min Siyi and Huo Dashan looked at each other, still very worried.
After all, this place is in the wilderness, where is it so easy to find a car?
And Xu Chen is also a student from out of town, so he doesn’t know anyone locally, right?
After a while, Xu Chen came back after making a phone call:
"The car has been contacted, but this place is still remote, and it takes about twenty minutes to half an hour to drive here."
Min Siyi said: "It's okay, I'll go and comfort everyone and let everyone wait in peace."
Xu Chen nodded and said to Huo Dashan:
"There are vending machines over there, let's go buy something to drink for everyone!"
Huo Dashan nodded and followed Xu Chen forward.
……
When I came back, I saw a group of students talking and laughing again.
Xu Chen and Huo Dashan took a bunch of drinks and mineral water to share with everyone.
Huo Dashan said nothing, still worried.
In fact, he really wanted to ask Xu Chen about the situation of his car, but he was too embarrassed to ask.
Those who were also embarrassed to speak included squad leader Min Siyi.
……
Twenty minutes later, Xu Chen received another call.
"Brother Chen, we will be there soon."
"Okay, just drive in. We are right at the exit. You can see it when you come over!"
After a while, seven or eight taxis lined up and parked in front of everyone.
A group of students immediately burst into cheers.
Min Siyi and Huo Dashan looked at each other with expressions of relief.
The seven or eight cars stopped and the drivers came out of the cabs.
The leading driver was tall and thick. When he saw Xu Chen, he quickly shouted:
"Brother Chen!"
Xu Chen had already walked over.
"Thank you, brother, I really have nothing to do today."
The leading driver obviously looked similar to Zhao Feng, and it was Zhao Feng's cousin Zhao Kai.
Zhao Kai drives a taxi in Shanghai. Before Zhao Feng left Shanghai last time, he specially introduced Zhao Kai to Xu Chen. He also said that if "Brother Chen" encounters anything, he can contact Zhao Kai...
< br>
Xu Chen didn't expect that something would really happen today.
Zhao Kai smiled and said:
"Brother Chen, you're welcome, just come to me if you need anything!"
He then said to the young drivers behind him:
"This is the little Mr. Xu I'm talking about."
"Xiao Xu is always nice!"
Xu Chen smiled and said: "I really want to thank you all today!"
Zhao Kai: "Brother Chen, you're welcome...
These guys are all brothers, all fellows from Wen Province!
It just so happened that I was soliciting customers here in Baoshan, so it was close to me.
These brothers are all nearby, and they all came over as soon as I said hello. ”
……
……
Seeing Xu Chen "explaining matters" to several drivers, Min Siyi and Huo Dashan dragged a group of students and stepped forward in no hurry.
"Did Xu Chen call all these cars?"
"I'm actually willing to drive from the city to this remote pier!"
"Yeah, it's impossible to get a taxi around here and at this time..."
Min Siyi and Huo Dashan looked at each other, still feeling incredible.
Xu Chen not only called a taxi, but also called a fleet of seven or eight cars at once.
Chen Wenyi stood in the crowd. When he heard the tall and thick man calling Xu Chen "Brother Chen," his expression became a little weird.
Obviously he was thinking of the two fierce "brothers" he brought with him on the day he first met Xu Chen.
……
Xu Chen had already made arrangements, so he waved over:
"Get in the car!"
A group of students were a little excited and got into the car separately.
Seven or eight cars were able to load less than thirty students, and then they turned around and left the dock area.
……
Squad leader Min Siyi took the lead and got into Xu Chen's car.
Huo Dashan thought for a while and quickly followed.
Xu Chen looked back and smiled at them: "The motorcade drove directly to school!"
Huo Dashan: "No problem. The bus originally goes to school. If there are local students who want to go home, we can make other arrangements by ourselves."
Xu Chen nodded and said no more.
The car soon got on the beltway, passing through Baoshan District and heading towards Yangpu.
Zhao Kai held the steering wheel and was still polite, chatting with "Brother Chen" for a few days.
He talked about the situation of his younger brother Zhao Feng, and said how Zhao Feng praised "Brother Chen" and "Mr. Xu" and so on.
Xu Chen also asked a few questions and found out that although Zhao Kai and Zhao Feng were "cousins", they were actually no different from "blood brothers".
Zhao Kai was very happy that his younger brother Zhao Feng had "returned his evil ways" and had a stable job in the Xu family's factory, and he was sincerely grateful to Xu Chen.
Min Siyi and Huo Dashan were sitting in the back row, and naturally they heard their words.
Only then did he learn from a few words why Xu Chen was called "Little Mr. Xu" by these driver masters.
Huo Dashan had previously heard that several people in dormitory 3103 called Xu Chen "Boss Xu", which was just a nickname.
Unexpectedly, he is really a "Boss Xu".
And it sounds like the situation at home of "Boss Xu" and "Mr. Xu" should be no worse than that of "Little Prince of Jiangsu and Zhejiang".
But he usually looks gentle and low-key, which is simply incomparable to the high-profile and arrogant Qian Xin, the "Little Prince of Jiangsu and Zhejiang".
All right.
This is the high-end "rich second generation".
……
Min Siyi remembered something. She hesitated and did not speak. Instead, she sent a text message to Xu Chen in the front row:
[How should you pay the fare for brothers like you? 】
Xu Chen saw the message and simply replied:
[Don’t worry about this, I’ll take care of it. 】
[Thank you, Xu Chen...Thanks to you again for being here today. 】
