No slow speed railway existed to Rongcheng. The terminus for 2 daily K trains is Weihai, whereas high speed trains serve Weihai North, 54 km before Rongcheng.

Im not sure about the correct train number Shanghai/Jinan/Rongcheng.
If you search Shanghai - Rongcheng, its G456, from Jinan - Rongcheng it says G457

Trains that travel towards Beijing part of the route and away from Beijing another part of the route have to change number when they change "direction". But although this is the general principle affecting many trains, the schedule sites commonly do not present it in a clear manner, which numbers the same train goes through.

Some sites just use G456/457 for the whole journey from Shanghai to Jinan.
Vice versa its G 455/458.

Jinan-Weihai by high speed train takes 3:49...4:17, Jinan West-Weihai takes 4:08 to 4:34. The price is second class 180 yuan from Jinan, 189 from West, first class 216 yuan from Jinan, 231 yuan 5 jiao from West, business class 539 yuan 5 jiao from Jinan, 568 yuan 5 jiao from West.
The two slow trains are both K, but oddly at very different prices (despite about equal distance). K8261, originating at Jinan at 0:50 and arriving at 8:39 costs just 50 yuan hard seat, 102 to 109 yuan hard sleeper, 166 yuan soft sleeper. K411 originates from Beijing at 22:32, and after leaving Jinan East at 4:53 in the morning, arrives at 12:56, costing for the Jinan-Weihai section hard seat 81 yuan, hard sleeper 144 to 154 yuan, soft sleeper 222 to 231 yuan.
