The Blessed Beauty Returns with a Dimension-Chapter 136 - 130: Coincidence

Chapter 136: Chapter 130: Coincidence
The couple packed up their things and boarded the train home the next day.
Jiang Yue felt nervous.
She couldn’t help but touch her belly; the baby inside had been behaving very well lately.
She didn’t know if it was because her days had been too comfortable lately, or if the child was just obedient.
Anyway, there hadn’t been much fuss recently.
Unlike a while ago, when the baby was kicking up a storm inside her.
Even when the baby did move inside, it was very gentle.
It was only after they boarded the train that the couple realized what Jiang Xiaoxiao meant. The train was absolutely packed.
If Qin Ming hadn’t been protecting Jiang Yue the whole way, they might not have even made it onto the train.
Everyone was carrying large luggage, bags and parcels piled into every available space.
People were pressed against each other, squeezing in together.
If they weren’t careful, something could really go wrong.
Qin Ming put their luggage by Jiang Yue’s feet and whispered to her to wait there.
The train had just started moving when he went to find a conductor, even though he originally didn’t have the guts to approach them.
But then he thought about Jiang Xiaoxiao’s words; his wife was pregnant, and being squeezed all night was a risk.
He would rather spend a little more money than save a bit and risk something happening to the mother and child.
Qin Ming squeezed his way to the ticketing office at the back.
A lot of people were crowded there, many waiting for supplemental tickets.
Qin Ming saw at least dozens of people ahead of him, and if he waited his turn, the tickets would probably be gone.
He was getting anxious.
He noticed a conductor walking past him with a ticket book in hand and quickly followed him.
The male conductor, in his early twenties, suddenly realized someone was following him, looked back, and saw Qin Ming.
"Hey comrade, why are you following me? Go back to your own seat. The conductors are about to start checking tickets; get your ticket ready, and don’t try to skip paying!"
"Comrade, comrade, here’s the thing. I have a ticket, look, here it is. I’m traveling with my wife, and she’s over eight months pregnant. Could you help me get a sleeper ticket? I’ll pay whatever extra it costs. I’m a worker at the Renhuai County Power Plant."
Qin Ming was sweating with anxiety, not knowing how to say this, unsure if it was considered a bribe.
He just knew he was asking a stranger for a favor, hoping for a stroke of luck.
He sincerely took out his work ID from his pocket, as they had taken care of all the paperwork in the county.
This trip required his work ID, which was then equivalent to a future ID card, a major piece of identification.
"You’re a worker at the power plant? How come I’ve never seen you? My brother-in-law works there as a security chief, I often visit the plant. No kidding, your work ID really is from the power plant."
The conductor took his work ID and examined it carefully.
The official seals stamped on it, along with the photo, looked completely authentic.
"Comrade, are you talking about Chief Wei from the security department? He’s your brother-in-law. I just ed to the plant, just a few days ago, and he even helped me move. We were eating dumplings and drinking at home last night. When I left this morning, your brother-in-law was still at home."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming felt extremely relieved, thinking that since he met Chief Wei’s brother-in-law, perhaps this favor could really be done.
"You’re so familiar with my brother-in-law? I never would have guessed. You’ve only been here a few days, and my brother-in-law’s already at your house having dumplings. Alright, alright, since we’re like family, of course I have to help, right?
You have to at least respect the connection. I’ll handle it; I know your seat number, go back and wait there. Once it’s arranged, I’ll come for you. Keep it quiet and follow me discreetly.
I’m afraid there’s no room for you in the sleeper car. There’re too few sleepers, and the money wouldn’t be worth it. Luckily, we have two empty seats in the conductors’ cabin. Our colleague is on sick leave. You’re lucky; you and your wife can rest there. I won’t even charge you."
Conductor Feng Guoqiang’s words instantly brought them closer.
Qin Ming expressed his gratitude repeatedly, quietly explaining the situation to his wife when he returned to their seat.
Jiang Yue found it curious; even if they happened to run into Chief Wei’s brother-in-law by coincidence...
But this brother-in-law seemed to have very little suspicion, trusting them immediately and even arranging a seat, could such a good thing happen?
Jiang Yue asked exactly the right question.
Feng Guoqiang promptly turned around to call his brother-in-law.
There were telephones on board, but only in the conductors’ cabins.
Feng Guoqiang judged that Qin Ming didn’t seem like a bad person, not slick-tongued, appearing earnest and honest, not likely to be lying.
However, a new worker at the power plant, as clearly stated on the work ID, was an ordinary worker.
Getting so much attention from his brother-in-law was a bit odd.
Despite agreeing, he wanted to see if there was any catch.
Was Qin Ming lying or did he have a strong background?
He needed to determine this before deciding what to do next.
Chief Wei had only just sobered up, groggily waking up and going straight to Qin Ming’s house because he knew Qin Ming and his wife were taking the train today.
He’d originally promised to drive them to the station today and had intentionally set it up that way.
His brother-in-law was a conductor, conveniently on this train, intending to introduce them later.
Getting them connected could help both parties and prove beneficial in the future.
His brother-in-law being a train conductor wasn’t a relationship just anyone could have.
At least now, when it came to getting train tickets or traveling by train, having someone was necessary, otherwise getting a ticket would be tough.
You’d need to stand in line for a long time.
Especially for a sleeper; even with proof of work, you might still not get one.
Upon reaching Qin Ming’s house, the locked door indicated they’d already left.
He checked his watch.
Dammit.
What time was it now?
The train had just left!
He’d just woken up.
Too late.
Disoriented, he returned home, sat by the table, and poured himself a cup of tea.
Truth be told, Qin Ming’s drinking capacity was impressive; he’d outdrunk everyone at the table yesterday.
As he sat there recovering, the phone at home rang.
Being a plant official, he had a phone at home, a privilege only officials enjoyed; ordinary folks wouldn’t have a phone installed.
"Hello, who’s this?"
"Brother-in-law, it’s Guoqiang."
"Hey, it’s you. I was just looking for you. Let me tell you, there’s a job for you. On your train, there’s a couple in seats such and such, with the woman heavily pregnant. The man’s name is Qin Ming, and the woman is Jiang Yue. Take good care of them, and try to secure a sleeper berth for them.
This Qin Ming has connections. Getting in good with him will definitely benefit you in the future. Weren’t you planning to arrange a job for your niece? Let me tell you, Qin Ming is well-connected with Mr. Wang from the county’s office. I don’t need to say more; you should know what to do."
Hearing it’s his brother-in-law on the phone, it was like receiving a pillow when drowsy, and he quickly relayed the message.
Feng Guoqiang, hearing this, realized he didn’t need to ask further questions, confirming that this Qin Ming he met was indeed the Qin Ming his brother-in-law mentioned.
The description matched well.
He immediately understood that his brother-in-law was not someone who’d go out of his way without benefits; if he said so, Qin Ming must have a formidable background.
Connected tightly with Mr. Wang from the county office.
He had to foster a good relationship with Qin Ming.
