After having breakfast with his mother, Qin Tian took a taxi to the train station.
After buying his ticket and waiting for about half an hour, he boarded the nearest train to Jiangcheng.
Before his reincarnation, it only took about forty minutes to get from Yucheng to Jiangcheng by high-speed rail.
Now, this train, which only stopped for a few minutes between Yucheng and Jiangcheng, took nearly an hour and a half.
The train departed at 9:30 in the morning and stopped at the west station, one of Jiangcheng's three train stations, shortly after 11:00.
Qin Tian, carrying a black single-shoulder bag, walked towards the station exit with the crowd, simultaneously taking out his phone and calling Wang Hao.
"Hello, Brother Wang, I'm off the train."
As soon as the call was connected, he spoke first.
"Okay, I'm already at the exit. I'm wearing a black hoodie and jeans."
"Uh-huh, I'll be there soon. I'll hang up now."
"Alright."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Tian quickened his pace.
After exiting the ticket gate, Qin Tian looked around at the crowd of people waiting for arrivals and soon his gaze locked onto a young man in his early twenties who matched the description.
The young man also noticed Qin Tian looking at him, smiled, and asked, "Xiao Qin?"
"It's me!"
After confirming the identity, Qin Tian, with a bright smile, walked quickly towards the young man.
"Brother Wang!"
"Tsk tsk, master, you really are a young and handsome high school student!"
Wang Hao said with a brilliant smile.
"No, no, just an ordinary high school student."
Qin Tian smiled humbly.
"Ordinary high school student? Pfft, hahaha... that phrase is quite interesting!"
Wang Hao burst into hearty laughter.
"Brother Wang, where are we going?"
Qin Tian tugged at the strap of his single-shoulder bag and asked with a smile.
Wang Hao raised his wrist to look at his expensive watch and said, "It's still early. My aunt and I agreed to meet at one in the afternoon. Shall I take you for a drive around first?"
"Sure, whatever you say, Brother Wang!"
Qin Tian nodded and agreed with a smile.
"Great, let's go then. The car is in the parking lot!"
Wang Hao, acting very familiar, put his arm around Qin Tian's shoulder, and they headed towards the parking lot together.
"Master, you said you were so busy with high school studies, how could you still play games so well?"
"Maybe... talent?"
"Why do I feel a little discouraged?"
"Haha... Young people have quick reflexes and operate more smoothly in these games."
"Damn it, I'm not that much older than you, I'm also a young person."
"Yes, yes."
"It's agreed, alright? After we finish talking about business, no matter how it goes, we'll go to an internet cafe to play together, and you can teach me a few tricks."
"No problem. Actually, I'm pretty good at playing both Marksman and Support. I'll play Support for you later."
"Really?"
...
The two chatted and joked casually, and soon became familiar with each other.
The car Wang Hao drove was a modified silver Audi sports coupe. It was clear from its appearance that many parts had been upgraded, and its handsome design perfectly matched the flamboyant personality of a young person.
"Brother Wang, this car is really cool. It's not cheap, right?"
Qin Tian sat in the passenger seat, fastened his seatbelt, and asked with a smile.
"Not expensive. The car itself isn't as expensive as the modifications. The total cost is around over three million! I don't usually drive this one."
Wang Hao replied casually.
"Okay!"
Qin Tian couldn't help but click his tongue.
Over three million yuan was considered not expensive, and it seemed to be just a spare car.
As expected, the world of the truly wealthy was something he couldn't comprehend at the moment.
Afterward, Wang Hao drove him around the city.
Jiangcheng was a city with the largest student population, so on the bustling streets, one could see young and beautiful girls at any time.
Whenever he saw a pretty and well-built female student passing by, Wang Hao would lower the car window and skillfully strike up a conversation.
Unfortunately, the results were not very good.
After all, many girls only looked at the car brand and didn't understand anything about performance cars or modifications. A "broken" Audi couldn't make them enthusiastic.
Of course, the main reason was that Wang Hao's appearance was only average, and his way of hitting on them was too direct and explicit.
"Alas, I should have driven my 'big bull' here."
After being disdainfully dismissed by a long-legged girl by the roadside for another time, Wang Hao shook his head helplessly and sighed.
Qin Tian couldn't help but chuckle and suggested, "It might be better if I sit in the back."
"It has nothing to do with that. The main thing is that the girls don't appreciate quality!"
Wang Hao glanced at him sideways, grinned playfully, and raised his eyebrows, "Want to go have some fun tonight?"
"No, no, no, Brother Wang, I have a girlfriend."
Qin Tian said seriously.
"Hahaha... I know."
Wang Hao laughed and nodded, saying in a tone of someone experienced, "See? Last time I said it's better to be single. Girlfriends are too much trouble. Look at me, if I had a girlfriend sitting next to me, would I dare to casually hit on girls just now? I wouldn't be able to experience this kind of fun!"
"Uh... Brother Wang."
Qin Tian looked at him with an embarrassed expression.
Wang Hao paused, then suddenly shivered.
"Holy crap, what are you thinking? Bro, I'm straight."
"I didn't mean anything by it, I didn't say anything!"
"Then what do you mean by that look? Are you... gay?"
"Nonsense, I have a girlfriend."
"I was just afraid you might like both men and women."
"Brother Wang, can we change the topic?"
...
...
About ten minutes before one o'clock in the afternoon, led by Wang Hao, Qin Tian walked into a Western restaurant.
This Western restaurant was located near Wang Hao's aunt's company. The restaurant was neither high-end nor low-end; most of the customers were office workers from nearby buildings.
Led by a waiter, the two chose a seat by the floor-to-ceiling window.
After ordering two coffees, Qin Tian chatted and joked with Wang Hao, waiting for his aunt to arrive.
"She's here."
Wang Hao suddenly said, looking towards the restaurant's entrance.
Qin Tian turned his head and saw a woman in a business suit with a capable demeanor walking towards them with a smile.
The two of them quickly got up to greet her.
"Auntie!"
Wang Hao greeted her with a smile.
Wang Lingyue nodded with a smile, her gaze falling on Qin Tian with a hint of curiosity.
"Manager Wang, hello."
Qin Tian greeted her with a polite smile.
After all, he had been tempered by the workplace, so he handled this aspect perfectly.
"Xiao Qin, right? Hello, please sit, please sit!"
Wang Lingyue smiled and gestured with her hand, then walked over and sat down next to Wang Hao.
A waiter came over and handed her the menu.
Wang Lingyue first ordered a cappuccino, then ordered a plate of pasta, and handed the menu to Qin Tian.
"Xiao Qin, see what you want to eat."
"Brother Wang, you order first!"
Qin Tian took the menu and handed it to Wang Hao.
"Okay, then I'll order first."
Wang Hao didn't stand on ceremony, took the menu, and ordered a steak and some snacks for himself.
Qin Tian, being young and having a good appetite, and having eaten in the morning, felt a bit hungry now. He ordered a seafood fried rice and a steak.
