Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 425 - 420: Is That Woman Your Cousin Chang Ru?
The training camp’s assembly time is the third day after the regional competition.
Most schools have already set off or are on their way.
After a weighty family discussion, Principal Zhang from Anhe Middle School decided to follow the team to Beijing.
For this, his wife gave him a day of cold stares and packed his luggage with a stern face.
This moved Principal Zhang, who promised to bring back the championship trophy as a gift for his wife.
He received an even bigger eye roll and a shopping list in return.
Principal Zhang: ...
***
This time, Anhe Middle School’s teachers and students originally planned to take the train to Beijing, but when Bai Yusen heard about it, he made a grand gesture and directly sponsored all their expenses during the training and competition in Beijing.
Even their train tickets were upgraded to Bai Family’s private plane tickets.
This moved Principal Zhang so much that he wanted to treat Bai Xiaotang like a god of wealth.
So much so that Bai Xiaotang hid from him.
The training camp is located in a large youth training center in the suburb of Beijing, covering an area of over 5000 acres, with eight training zones and two living areas built.
It can accommodate 2000 people for simultaneous lodging and training, making it a very high-end training venue.
Usually, it hosts schools and educational institutions for short-term intensive courses for students.
This is the first time it’s hosting the Hua Continent high school student competition training camp and competition.
The camp director attaches great importance to it, modifying some training areas according to the Ministry of Education’s regulations from top to bottom.
Security has been maximized.
The Ministry of Education, along with the Security Bureau, Beijing Base, and several other departments, have thoroughly inspected every part of the training camp and were satisfied with the results.
Simultaneously, they arranged personnel to guard near the training camp, and even the Hua Continent Superpower Team, which usually serves as bodyguards for special individuals, deployed two groups to be stationed at the camp base to protect the safety of ordinary teachers and students at any time.
Therefore, this competition is crucial, concerning the future interaction mode between superpower users and ordinary people.
Ji Ning also didn’t expect Fu Ninghao and the others to make such a big arrangement.
But even if he knew in advance, he would still suggest that proposal.
If ordinary people and superpower users continue to be divided like this, one side will inevitably disappear forever, and humanity will ultimately bring about its own destruction.

In March, Beijing is full of flying warblers and growing grass.
The pale yellow forsythia and pink cherry blossoms are already hanging on the branches.
The swiftly passing green belts and the wide roads captivate the students of Anhe Middle School.
Most students are visiting Beijing for the first time, constantly asking Bai Xiaotang and Lin Yuanyang, the natives, about various things in Beijing.
"Tangtang, will we pass by the Commander’s statue?" Hu Lingling asked.
Bai Xiaotang thought about the route and shook her head, "We should be heading directly to the training camp, not reaching the inner city."
"Is the Commander’s statue really over five meters tall?"
Bai Xiaotang nodded her head, "Very tall, even the square platform the idol stands on is two meters high."
"I really want to see it... I don’t know if we’ll have time to explore Beijing in the end, my mom even said I must take a photo with the Commander."
Ji Ning, sitting next to them, glanced at her.
Sooner or later, someone will have the statue moved...
"Look over there—"
"That convoy of cars."
Suddenly, Chen Yantao exclaimed, standing up to look out the window.
Several brightly colored sports cars could be seen driving from the opposite lane.
Streamlined bodies, convertible two-seaters, equipped with modified engines, the roar could be heard from far away.
"Is that a Blood Shadow 3000S? There are only 100 in the world, and allegedly each costs over ten million, and there are so many of them here. Truly, there are many wealthy people in Beijing." Chen Yantao looked on with envy, speaking in a sour tone.
Like him, all the boys who liked cars were leaning against the window, gazing eagerly, while only Lin Yuanyang had a flash of disdain in his eyes.
Gu Xiaosi’s cousin, Cao Zongming’s family, has one Blood Shadow 3000S.
It’s said to be Cao Zongming’s older brother, Cao Zonghai’s car.
That man, Cao Zonghai, is a typical spoiled rich kid proficient in all kinds of indulgences and thrill-seeking.
Racing is one of his hobbies.
Allegedly, back in the day, he raced on highways late at night and hit and killed someone.
Later, the Cao Family used money to settle the matter, and Cao Zonghai was unaffected, continuing to race and party.
He even flaunted this incident among his circle.
Lin Yuanyang’s unfavorable impression of the Cao Family and Gu Family began with Cao Zonghai.
Among those cars, one might belong to Cao Zonghai.
Indeed, the man sitting in the middlemost "flamboyant red" car was Cao Zonghai, but how come the young woman next to him looked so familiar?
"Sister Xiaotang, look over there, is that Chang Ru?"
The sports car sped quickly by, not giving Bai Xiaotang enough time to stand and see.
Bai Xiaotang could only turn around and try to identify from the back view.
But all she could see were heads, leaving her to guess.
"Ah, I didn’t see." Bai Xiaotang said worriedly.
Ever since those incidents, they haven’t been in touch.
Her brother said Chang Ru has moved out of the Bai Family and returned to live with the Chang Family.
If she really was in the car, that would be really bad.
Those spoiled rich kids are not good people.
She’s even heard some unsavory stories.
Why is Chang Ru associating with them?
Meanwhile.
Chang Ru endured her stomach discomfort, impatiently listening to Cao Zonghai’s bragging beside her.
If possible, she’d prefer not to rely on the Cao Family.
Since the car accident, Gu Family brought her back to Beijing, linking her with them.
But Gu Family has been indifferent toward her, even though she provided them with substantial info from the Sun Family, bringing them hefty gains.
This left her quite displeased.
Later, by chance, she noticed Cao Zongming frequenting Gu Family, suddenly recalling Cao Zonghai’s ultimate fate from last life, due to reckless racing.
While feeling secretly delighted, she thought about using this opportunity to connect with the Cao Family.
As Gu Family’s relatives-in-law, the Cao Family’s position in Beijing is neither high nor low, but untouchable.
She recalled details of last life, using the story Bai Xiaotang told her, calculated when Cao Zonghai might get into trouble, and waited around the Cao Family to successfully stop Cao Zonghai’s late-night racing.
Although initially skeptical, he cautiously canceled the event, and the next day news broke of a major accident at his would-be racing spot.
An out-of-control truck hit and smashed several cars.
The worst-hit car’s front was completely crushed, and the driver died instantly.
If he’d gone racing, the dead one might have been him.
Cao Zonghai broke into a cold sweat, immediately contacting Chang Ru.
Since then, they connected.
The Chang Family also established business ties with the Cao Family through Cao Zonghai.
But this Cao Zonghai was truly useless.
A master of consuming extravagantly, a typical wasteful spoiled heir.
The Cao Family will definitely not be handed to him in the future.
Cao Family Head favors his younger son, Cao Zongming, investing great effort in his upbringing.
The kid worked hard too; it’s said he participated in Hua Continent high school student competition, reaching the finals.
Right now, they’re going to the airport to pick him up.
