Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 448 - 443: Two Days in Beijing

Principal Zhang could only turn to Bai Xiaotang for help, which finally allowed the other schools’ teachers to get their hands on the travel group information.

One look at the travel group prices, and the teachers were bleeding inside.

They reluctantly cut some projects and signed up the students for a mid-range chartered group.

As two RVs left the training camp, Anhe Middle School students finally welcomed a brief moment of relaxation before the competition.

The elusive Ji Ning, who hadn’t been seen for days, was a rare sight in the girls’ RV.

To ensure the safety of students in both vehicles, Huang Ying went to the boys’ RV.

Once in the inner city, Ji Ning would temporarily leave to deal with matters at the Security Bureau.

Security inside the vehicle was replaced by superpower bodyguards from the Bai Family.

But even with a brief interaction, the girls who adored Ji Ning were ecstatic.

Especially Bai Xiaotang, who eagerly dragged Ji Ning into playing Truth or Dare with them.

This RV offered a variety of tabletop card games, perfect for passing the time on long journeys.

From the training camp to the inner city, it took at least more than 2 hours by car, just the right amount of time to play several rounds of games.

Bai Xiaotang briefly introduced the game rules to everyone, then looked at Ji Ning and emphasized, "We must respect the game rules, the person who draws Truth cannot lie."

Ji Ning felt a headache coming.

Ever since this silly girl had a light bulb moment, she’s been hard to fool.

"Everyone draw your cards."

"Anyone who draws Truth, please raise your hand."

Hu Lingling and Yao Meng raised their hands.

Ji Ning looked at the card in her hand, raised an eyebrow, and lifted the card in her hand as well.

Their smiles instantly widened, exchanging knowing glances and nudging Bai Xiaotang to ask first, curious to see the size of the question.

Bai Xiaotang had long wanted to ask Ji Ning a question, so she asked directly, "Sister Ning, after you graduated high school, did you go straight to work or continue studying?"

As soon as the question came out, others: ...

"Bai Xiaotang, you’re just asking that?" Ma Shanshan was incredulous.

You Le also chimed in, expressing disappointment, "I’d ask better than that."

Bai Xiaotang’s voice weakened, "No... is it not okay?"

Ma Shanshan rolled her eyes heavily, "It’s fine, but next time let me do it."

Ji Ning found it amusing but also thought seriously for a moment, then replied to her, "Continue studying."

Bai Xiaotang’s eyes lit up, "Which school are you planning to attend then?"

Ji Ning smiled at her, "That’s a second question."

Bai Xiaotang pouted instantly, looking at Ji Ning with a hint of grievance, "Can’t you give me a little hint? You can secretly tell me."

Ji Ning raised her hand, flicked her forehead lightly, and threw her prior words back at her, "We must respect the game rules."

Bai Xiaotang: ...

When it was Yao Meng’s turn, Ji Ning asked first, "Is Wang Hao interested in you?"

Everyone (looking shocked): What?

"Whoa, seriously?"

"My god, Meng Meng, you already have a pursuer?"

Yao Meng blushed deeply like a ripe shrimp, right to the ears, her gaze drifting, avoiding everyone’s gossiping looks, "Wha... what? Sister Ning, don’t talk nonsense..."

Ji Ning smiled.

Under everyone’s teasing, Yao Meng stammered, "No... not clear... he hasn’t confessed to me yet..."

"Oh dear... Meng Meng, maybe he’s waiting for high school graduation～"

Yao Meng’s face reddened even more, looking somewhat embarrassed at Hu Lingling, she directly asked, "Do you like Lin Yuanyang?"

This question was even more explosive, and the other girls in the car began to heckle, banging the tables.

Bai Xiaotang and Ma Shanshan’s eyes wished to stare holes into Hu Lingling’s face.

Ji Ning stood with arms crossed, watching the merriment before her, the many days of suppressed negative emotions dissipating at this moment.

This world is still the purest during school days, the most worth reminiscing.

The RV started to slow down as it entered the outer city.

Everyone packed away their tabletop game equipment and concentrated on looking out the window, listening to the guide sitting in the passenger seat introduce the surroundings.

"We are now located in the outskirts of Beijing, which has gradually expanded outward since the new century. You can see our buildings and city walls, roughly similar in specifications, the same height as well..."

"Come, students, quickly look at the overpass on your left, there is a stone pillar about 2 meters high here. This is no ordinary stone pillar but a boundary marker, personally erected by General Ji back then to demarcate Beijing’s boundary line..."

Ji Ning turned to look, eyes flashing with confusion.

Wasn’t this erected for hanging ropes to dry diapers for families with newborns?

Back then, in the early times of turmoil, newborns were rare. When a woman finally became pregnant, this naturally caught her attention, and after the baby was born, she even made a clothes rack for them.

But...

Weren’t two stone pillars erected back then?

Where is the other stone pillar she erected?

... 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Everyone quickly look at the cube-shaped building on the right, constructed in line with the Rubik’s Cube building once envisioned by General Ji, this area is one of the most expensive segments in the outer city, reportedly costing over two hundred thousand per square meter."

Everyone gasped.

Bai Xiaotang nodded in agreement, "It does cost more than other places, but my family has two apartments here, you can come over anytime."

Beside her, Hu Lingling pretended to choke Bai Xiaotang’s neck, shaking vigorously.

"Ah..."

"Tangtang, I confess, at this moment, my jealousy has transformed my face into something unrecognizable, entirely ugly inside."

"Boohoo... little rich girl, please adopt me..."

Rich people make one envious.

Bai Xiaotang hid behind Ji Ning, sticking out her tongue at her.

The guide continued the introduction of the legend associated with the Rubik’s Cube building, Ji Ning listened while internally ridiculing.

Finally unable to hold back, she asked, "Where did this legend come from?"

The guide thought for a moment and said directly, "A biography named ’The Legendary Life of General Ji.’

Ji Ning searched on the Smart Brain screen, finding only the publisher but no author name, only an anonymous substitute.

Heh, afraid she’ll come back to dig up their grave?

But Ji Ning still took a screenshot of the book’s cover and sent it to Li Wenxin and Fu Ninghao.

[The contents of this book are severely inaccurate, suggesting removal.]

Fu Ninghao replied with: [Isn’t this book written by someone under your command?]

Ji Ning: ...

***

As the RV drove into the inner city, Ji Ning felt numb inside, with a strong urge to find a part-time job.

Perhaps she could go to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism to find a part-time job in compiling, reviewing, and revising, specially revising historical accounts about herself.

But she couldn’t think much before the car arrived to pick her up.

Ji Ning waited for the driver to park the car, said goodbye to the young girls in the car to play happily, then got off the vehicle.

The exclusive private car following a few meters behind the RV hurried forward.

The superpower bodyguard from the Bai Family quickly got out of the car to hand over duties with Ji Ning.

Ji Ning then drove the Bai Family’s car straight to Beijing Security Bureau.

This morning, a Green Group member almost fell victim, and the suspect was a B-level Investigator from the Security Bureau.

After capturing the suspect shortly, it seemed like they suddenly woke up, completely forgetting the actions they had just taken.
