Chapter 162 - 107: Experiencing the Diversity of the Human World (8000 Words)_2
"Where’s this gentleman’s ID?"
Having received Gu Heng’s ID, the staff member asked softly.
"Oh, never mind him, just check mine. He’s just seeing me off at the station."
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."
While the staff member was handling his travel arrangements, Gu Heng turned to Chen Hao and said, "That’s enough for now. You can go back first.
As for Lin Jiayun, no matter how long she wants to extend her stay, just take care of it for her. Just deduct it from the balance on my membership card, and if the balance is insufficient later, just let me know and I’ll top it up."
"All right.
I’ll wait for you outside later. Mr. Gu, if you need anything, just let me know before the train departs."
After listening to Gu Heng’s instructions, Chen Hao responded respectfully, gently placed the luggage beside Gu Heng, and then retreated from the VIP entrance...
The two staff members exchanged a quiet look upon witnessing this scene that resembled a conversation between master and servant...
More than ten seconds later, having verified the ID without any issues, the staff member raised her head once more and said to Gu Heng, "We need to confirm your ticket information."
Gu Heng was about to show her the information sent by the train company on his phone when he suddenly thought of something. He took out a pure black card from his wallet and handed it over, asking, "Will this do?"
That card was the Construction Bank black diamond card he had applied for previously...
Vaguely remembering what Zhu Shuting had told him when he was getting the card, this card could provide VIP services at any high-speed train station or airport within the country...
No matter how you looked at it, the value of this card definitely surpassed that of a business class train ticket worth over two hundred yuan, right?
Upon seeing the black diamond card that Gu Heng presented, the staff member’s expression showed a hint of subtle change...
They were familiar with their job, encountering privileged customers of banks like Gu Heng with cards similar to his black diamond card was not uncommon, so they couldn’t appear too astonished...
Even that slight change was solely due to Gu Heng’s age...
After all, most successful individuals were middle-aged, and it was quite rare to see younger people like Gu Heng...
"Of course, sir, right this way."
Having returned the bank card to Gu Heng, another staff member quickly got up, approached him, took hold of his small travel case, and proficiently placed it into the security scanner...
And Gu Heng only needed to go through a gentle check by the security officer...
By the time Gu Heng stepped out of the security checkpoint, the previous staff member was already waiting with his travel case in hand...
"Sir, it’s my duty to serve you exclusively until you board the train"
Without waiting for Gu Heng to react, she led him into the VIP lounge...
The staff member dragged the luggage to a secluded sofa spot and, after inviting Gu Heng to sit down, asked with a smile, "Would you like some tea or some snacks?
We provide complimentary snacks here."
Gu Heng, who had already eaten before arriving, replied softly, "Then please, just bring me a cup of plain hot water."
"Certainly, sir. Just a moment."
It wasn’t until she left that Gu Heng began to look around...
To be honest...
Lately, Gu Heng had experienced too many luxury services. The so-called VIP lounge’s decor didn’t seem much more luxurious than a regular restaurant, nor did he feel any particular VIP experience...
But turning around, he saw the hurried people dragging their luggage outside the lounge...
Looking at the crowd sitting on the cold public seats not far away, and noting that many had no choice but to rest on their suitcases due to the lack of seating...
Without comparison, there’s no harm...
Compared to that group, the passengers lounging on sofas in the VIP lounge really did seem like VIPs, the difference in treatment was simply too great...
In less than half a minute, the staff member who had left returned with a cup of steaming plain hot water in hand, carefully placing it in front of Gu Heng and kindly adding a warning, "Be careful, it’s hot."
Then she stood silently at Gu Heng’s side, her hands crossed and resting on her abdomen, waiting for his next command...
Initially planning on using his phone, Gu Heng felt slightly uncomfortable with her standing beside him and softly asked, "Don’t you have other things to do?"
"Didn’t I tell you earlier? Until you board the train, I’m dedicated to serving you. Whatever you need, just let me know, and I’ll take care of it for you."
Upon hearing this, Gu Heng swept his gaze around the VIP lounge again...
It seems only one person is special?
While others had to take their own snacks or drinks, it seemed that all he needed to do was to direct this staff member...
He then exchanged a puzzled look with her...
She responded with a smile in her eyes...
All was understood without words...
If he hadn’t guessed wrong, this special service was probably provided by his personal bank card...
If the lounge guests were VIPs, what did that make him?
A VIP among VIPs?
At this thought, Gu Heng smiled and shook his head, then said to the staff member, "Then sit down and chat with me for a while."
In the next half hour, the staff member sat opposite Gu Heng and provided companionship, sharing some interesting anecdotes about the station...
And when the time for ticket checking was nearing and Gu Heng stood up ready to say goodbye and leave, the staff member was quicker, grabbing his suitcase first. With Gu Heng’s puzzled expression, she continued, "The ticket gate you need is quite far. It would be inconvenient to walk over there. Please wait for two minutes."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
