Chapter 639 Poverty, the Gap Between People

Evening, civilian cabin.

Xiao Baihe and Tan Yingying finally dragged their exhausted bodies back to their room after wandering around on the boat for a day.

After a brief shower in the bathroom inside, they lay down early to rest.

Their room was not big, with two rows of bunk beds facing each other. Tan Yingying and Xiao Baihe naturally slept on one side.

"Sister Lily, this boat is too big. My feet are sore after walking around for a whole day, and I didn't get all of it off."

Tan Yingying complained while rubbing her swollen feet.

This Oriental Star is too big.

At the bottom is the material storage room on the bottom of the cabin, as well as generators, energy rooms, etc., and ordinary tourists cannot enter these places.

And the upper part is the sailor's dormitory, etc., all the way to the scenic observation deck on the top floor, which has 20 floors up and down.

Tan Yingying and Xiao Baihe could only walk through three or four floors in one afternoon.

"Sister Lily, according to the travel plan announced by the Oriental Star, the 2nd, 5th, 8th, 11th, and 14th days of the 15-day holiday will each stop in a certain coastal city. Shall we go for a stroll?"

"Of course, don't you get tired of staying on the boat every day?"

"Actually, I'm really not tired~"

Tan Yingying said, when she thought of the dazzling array of exquisite shops on the ship, little stars appeared in her eyes.

"Hehe, do you have money to buy something?"

But Xiao Baihe's words instantly shattered the former's thoughts.

Yes, she has no money!

Although Tan Yingying is from Dongfangdu, her parents are just ordinary working class.

With her own internship salary, she was not even willing to buy a boat ticket, so how could she support her high-end consumption on the boat.

Tan Yingying and Xiao Baihe, the two are called poor for short!

There is really no money in this pocket.

Tan Yingying sighed, silently pursed her pocket, and then sighed: "Ah, what can I do to save you, my wallet... woo woo woo..."

When she thought that she had no money and couldn't do anything on the boat, she cried, crying hard.

"Finally home!"

At this time, their roommates came back.

Xiao Xie, a reporter from Dongfang Metropolis TV's "Live Live" column group, and a fellow editor, the two are roommates with Xiao Baihe.

After they came back, they washed up briefly, then sat on their beds and started tidying up.

Xiaoxie saved the video in the USB flash drive and handed it to the editor on the upper bunk. After the latter took the USB flash drive, he began to edit the video.

"Hey, today is really an eye-opener!"

"Yes, yes, I never thought that someone could win so much money in one night."

"That Lawyer Zhang is really amazing!"

Hearing the words "Lawyer Zhang", Xiao Baihe's ears twitched slightly, and a faint hint of interest arose.

"Well, the Lawyer Zhang you are talking about is not..."

"Oh, it's Lawyer Zhang Weizhang, he's killing everyone in the casino today, he's amazing!"

Xiao Xie didn't hide anything, and directly told Xiao Baihe what he saw and heard in the casino today.

When they heard that Zhang Wei had won almost 90 million from Lin Yufeng with 10 million, both Xiao Baihe and Tan Yingying were stunned.

10 million?

90 million?

These two figures were completely beyond their imagination.

"Sister Baihe, why don't we resign and become lawyers together?"

"Yingying, what are you thinking, let me ask you, are you as shameless as Zhang Wei?"

"Uh, it seems that there is no..."

"Are you as cheap as him?"

"It seems that there is no..."

"Are you as beastly as him?"

"..."

"Are you as bold as he is?"

"..."

"You have him..."

Well, after just a few questions, Tan Yingying gave up the idea of ​​resigning.

Yes, compared to Zhang Wei, if the other party is a big bad wolf, then she is a docile little sheep.

The big bad wolf can survive in the wild because the other party has wildness.

And after leaving the sheepfold, can he still survive?

Tan Yingying suddenly felt that, in fact, the local prosecutor's headquarters is also quite good.

...

evening.

Zhang Wei also returned to his VIP room.

After working all night in the casino, he still exhausted a lot of energy.

Especially with a mere 10 million, he won nearly 100 million from Lin Yufeng, which made him tired.

Therefore, after washing and rinsing in the bathroom on the second floor, he didn't say hello to Xia Qianyue's four daughters, and returned to his room impatiently, before falling asleep.

Soon, he fell asleep.

Zhang Wei: "zzZ..."

But just after Zhang Wei fell asleep, he never thought that there was actually someone in his room.

When he was in a daze, he felt as if someone was lying beside the bed.

"Hanhan, Jessica?"

The first reaction in his mind was these two.

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Wei's mouth, and then he turned over and hugged the person beside the pillow from behind.

It was obvious that the person next to the pillow resisted at first, but soon became defenseless.

Zhang Wei, who was sleeping soundly, dreamed of buns.

"Hey, it must be Jessica..."

There is only one person in Zhang Wei's mind for such a scale.

It's a pity that he really didn't have any energy today. When he was in a daze, he just hugged the person next to his pillow and fell into a deep sleep again.

The next day, morning.

When the first ray of sunlight by the window shone into the room, Zhang Wei woke up.

What could be hidden in his eyes was a head of black hair.

It seemed that he was still holding a ** in his hand, but Zhang Wei knew that the person next to his pillow was not the one he imagined, because the hair color was wrong.

"Classmate Mo?!"

Zhang Wei gasped.

Because among the women in the private room, Mo Yuzhu is the only one who can have such a large scale and is still black-haired!

Only then did Zhang Wei think of one thing.

Because Mo Yuzhu became a light bulb, her parents, Mo Juren and Yang Chunyuan, wanted to live in a world of two, so they sent their daughter away.

It happened that Zhang Wei and his party were also on the boat, and there were enough VIP rooms, so Mo Yuzhu told his parents to stay at Xia Qianyue's side.

There were four rooms in the private room, and each of the four girls shared one room. Mo Yuzhu took Zhang Wei's original room as a matter of course.

"Well~"

Under Zhang Wei's actions, Mo Yuzhu, who was held in his arms, seemed to wake up.

"You still haven't let go?"

"Ah, oh, sorry, I didn't remember it for a while, my pot..."

"Also, you are pressing my hair..."

"Sorry, sorry..."

In embarrassment, the two got up and got dressed, and didn't speak any more during the whole process.

Awkward……

It's very embarrassing...

"Shall I go down and prepare breakfast?"

"Um……"

Mo Yuzhu blushed, she didn't dare to respond, she could only nod slightly.

Zhang Wei hurriedly opened the door of the room, and then went downstairs.

Mo Yuzhu watched Zhang Wei leave the room, but unconsciously stroked her chest with both hands.

There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

downstairs.

Zhang Wei does not need to prepare breakfast by himself, room service will be provided, Zhang Wei only needs to press the button at the order window in the room, and a waiter will soon come pushing a dining cart.

I have to say that the service efficiency of the Oriental Star is still very high, and the breakfast is delivered quickly.

Black truffle scrambled eggs, top-notch bacon, natural vegetable salad, caviar bread, just a breakfast, Zhang Wei felt the grade.

The second daughter, Jessica, Xia Qianyue and classmate Mo, soon got up and went downstairs to have breakfast together.

"By the way, Zhang Wei, did you sleep on the sofa yesterday?"

Xia Qianyue asked curiously with her eyes dazed.

"Well……"

Zhang Wei and Mo Yuzhu seemed a little embarrassed to answer this question.

"I was so tired last night that I lay down after I came back. I was so dazed that I forgot where I slept."

"Okay, let me tell you, Zhuzhu lives with us recently, and she sleeps in your room." Xia Qianyue said, a little embarrassed.

"Yeah, my parents actually despise me as an eyesore, they despise me...o(╥﹏╥)o..." Mo Yuzhu lowered her head with an unhappy expression on her face.

"Zhuzhu, don't worry, it's good for us to play together." Xia Qianyue hurriedly comforted her.

"Enen, it's still you, Hanhan." Mo Yuzhu was quite moved.

"By the way, are we going out today?"

The second girl suddenly pointed outside.

"That's right, today is the second day, and it will dock in the morning, and it will be in the first city..."

Zhang Wei also remembered that on the second day of going to sea, the Oriental Star will dock once, passing through the first city.

Tourists can disembark, spend half a day in the city along the coast, and then board at night.

In other words, today's noon and evening, you can spend on board or out of the boat.

"Get out, why don't you go out?"

Zhang Wei became interested: "It's good to go out for a stroll, wouldn't it be nice to broaden your horizons?"

Soon, a group of five people made a travel plan and went out as soon as the ship docked in the morning.

at the same time.

In the cabin, there is a simple breakfast shop.

"My God, a cup of soy milk and a fried dough stick cost 50 yuan?"

"Sister Lily, let's have a cup of soy milk together, and we will share half of the deep-fried dough sticks..."

"It can only be the……"

Xiao Baihe and Tan Yingying were waiting on the deck, drinking half a cup of soy milk and half a deep-fried dough stick in their mouths.

Because they can travel today, they naturally don't want to stay on the boat anymore, but plan to go down to have fun.

After all, they really couldn't afford the expenses on board, so it's better to disembark and go shopping, maybe a meal can be cheaper.

Right there on deck, wind blowing, waiting, the distant coastline gradually approaching.

"Passengers, please pay attention. The Oriental Star is about to dock. Passengers, please pay attention to the time of play. We will sail at 8:00 p.m. Please return before 7:00-7:30 p.m.

"If you encounter any accidents during the cruise, please call the customer service center of the cruise ship immediately. We will provide you with service and assistance wholeheartedly. Finally, I wish you a pleasant stay."

The announcement of the cruise ship also sounded at the right time.

The broadcast reminds tourists that it is okay to disembark and play, but please pay attention to the time.

To put it bluntly, I want to tell you guys not to play crazy, and no one can be found, so we can only feel embarrassed.

The tourists standing on the deck all silently wrote down the time, or set alarm clocks on their mobile phones in case they forgot.

Soon, the Oriental Star docked, and as the boarding stairs were placed, all the tourists couldn't wait to get off the ship.

At the port, countless hawkers are already in place, and they start to sell after seeing tourists come down.

Although this is not the Dragon Kingdom, they all speak the Dragon Kingdom language.

"Fresh fruit, fresh fruit tea, fruit drink!"

"Walk around and take a look. Melon seeds, cigarettes, drinks, and mineral water are all at the purchase price!"

"Do you need a taxi? The price is the most reasonable in the city. The 15-year-old driver will provide you with a tour guide service!"

"Come on, come on, animal show, here are your favorite animals, don't miss it when you pass by..."

"Massage service by a beautiful technician, the best club in the city, only xx yuan per hour, mobile payment is supported..."

Holding hands, Xiao Baihe and Tan Yingying squeezed through the crowd and avoided all the vendors hawking along the way. It took a lot of effort to get out of the port.

As a result, as soon as they came out, they encountered another problem.

"What, the starting price is 200 yuan?"

They were about to hail a taxi, but the driver's quotation made them unacceptable.

"Please, you can all go on such a luxurious cruise ship, how can you have no money?"

The driver brother chuckled, and pointed to the Oriental Star, with a natural look on his face.

"We won't sit down!"

"Hehe, come out to play if you don't have money, you're a catcher!"

The driver brother cursed, gave Xiao Baihe and Tan Yingying a contemptuous look, and immediately drove to entertain another group of tourists.

"You're the one who caught Kaizi!" Xiao Baihe was so angry that she couldn't help but also cursed.

"Yingying, it looks like this place is killing us, let's walk to a closer place!"

"Okay, that's the only way..."

For some more practical reasons, the second daughter could only walk around closer.

at the same time.

Cruise ship deck.

"Mr. Zhang, are you going to travel?"

"Yes, my four female companions and I are going down for a stroll."

"Okay, sir, may I ask if Ningshi is going to just hang out at the port, or go to the city?"

"Why, have you prepared transportation?"

"Yes, our Oriental Star has cooperated with the car rental company in this city. Will they provide you with transportation for today's trip?"

"Then the fee..."

"Don't worry, this fee is already included in the ticket."

Hearing what the staff said, Zhang Wei was relieved.

That being the case, some people take cars, why not take them?

He nodded and explained that he needed a car rental service.

The staff immediately contacted the car rental company, who had already prepared the car at the port.

Under the escort of the staff, Zhang Wei and his party got off the boat, avoided the peddlers along the way, and boarded a stretched luxury car.

The driver of the luxury car can speak Long Mandarin, with a pretty Liuli accent, and he happens to be a local.

According to him, Longguo customers are the most served in their line of business. Whoever speaks Longguo well can get more resources and earn more money.

This made Zhang Wei chuckle.

Under the introduction of the driver, he recommended several good places to Zhang Wei and others.

It is said that only these places can truly feel the breath of the city. As for the places recommended on the surface, they are all aimed at slaughtering foreign tourists. Not only are the prices extremely expensive, but there are also black shops everywhere, specifically targeting foreigners to cheat.

Zhang Wei nodded, it seems that the doorways in tourist attractions are the same everywhere.

Under the suggestion of the driver, he and his second daughter came to some nice small attractions, went shopping and had a great time.

at the same time.

A place where an internet celebrity checks in.

"No way, a serving of octopus balls costs 80, and there are only 6 balls in total. In our Eastern Capital, 6 balls don't cost 18. Some conscientious stores even sell them for 8 yuan!"

"Why, do you like to buy it or not!"

Facing Xiao Baihe's questioning, the shopkeeper who bought the snacks directly put his hands on his hips, with an overbearing attitude.

"you you you……"

Xiao Baihe originally wanted to get off the boat and have some cheap snacks with Tan Yingying, but the first shop was hit by a blow.

"If it's in Dragon Country, I'm really going to sue you for raising prices, driving up prices, and destroying the market..."

"Sister Lily, let's change to another house."

Seeing that Xiao Baihe was getting angry and rough, Tan Yingying quickly pulled the former back.

Xiao Baihe was helpless, but he could only grit his teeth and endure.

After all, this is not Longguo, she has no right to do so.

Next, the two continued shopping.

"An ordinary egg fried rice 50?"

"A cup of milk tea costs 60. Milk tea is more expensive than egg fried rice?"

"All packages start at 100?"

"My God, it costs 10 yuan to take a picture here?"

After walking around for a while, Xiao Baihe and Tan Yingying's faces turned dark.

In the end, the two of them summed up and ordered a set meal that was exactly 100 yuan, and then they had another meal together.

While eating, Tan Yingying wept.

If they had known this, they would not have come. They thought that the Oriental Star would really let them relax, but they didn't expect to feel the sufferings of the world.

Sure enough, the poor are not worthy of leisure.

Xiao Baihe and Tan Yingying almost finished the meal with tears in their eyes.

the other side.

After walking out of a certain restaurant, Zhang Wei and his party touched their full stomachs with a look of timidity.

"Hey, seaside cities are cheap. A king crab costs less than 500 yuan."

"Yes, there are many kinds of seafood platters. I like the baby cuttlefish. It's so crispy."

"The grilled eel is also good. It's full of oil after one bite. It's so refreshing to eat!"

"My favorite is the sea pomfret. It is almost the same as the chef in Longguo. It is delicious and delicious, and it melts in your mouth. It is really delicious!"

Zhang Wei and his party were full of food and drink, and then strolled around several nearby scenic spots. After buying a lot of reasonably priced souvenirs, they came back satisfied.

The driver of the luxury car accompanied them all the way, almost equal to a full-time driver for a group of people.

Of course, this is a treatment that only the VIP cabin can enjoy, and ordinary cabins do not have such services.

In the evening, Zhang Wei and his party returned to the port.

Satisfied, he stepped onto the deck.

A few minutes later, Xiao Baihe and Tan Yingying, almost suffering from hunger and cold, dragged their tired bodies back to the deck with difficulty.

"Sister Baihe, why don't we get off the boat next time, it's so sad..."

"I feel the same way. I really hope that this kind of journey can end soon. I don't feel like staying in this place for a moment..."

Xiao Baihe and Tan Yingying really looked hopeless at the moment.

Tired, destroy it, hurry up...

They really can't understand, can there really be any happiness in such a journey?
