It is difficult to find someone who has lived in the city for a long time and has never ridden a super vacuum magnetic levitation train in this era.
This is because the super vacuum magnetic levitation train has become one of the most famous tourist attractions, even one of the most famous international tourist attractions. Every year, countless foreigners come to Huaxia specifically to ride this novel train experience, which has led to a more than twofold increase in the number of foreign tourists in Huaxia over the past year.
However, Chen Hu had never ridden it. The reason was simple: Chen Hu was petty.
In Chen Hu's opinion, he had almost eliminated "E Bufa" (Hungry Don't Fear) delivery. But due to a high-profile cooperation with the super vacuum magnetic levitation train, "E Bufa" delivery instantly became famous both at home and abroad, thus gaining the capital to compete with his own company. Otherwise, he would have eliminated this rival long ago and would not be in the current predicament.
Therefore, Chen Hu always traveled by plane and was unwilling to bother with this super vacuum magnetic levitation train.
But it was precisely because of this that Chen Hu was able to leave Modu (Shanghai) so smoothly and silently under the gaze of many people.
After all, those who were familiar with Chen Hu knew that he did not take the super vacuum magnetic levitation train, so no one would set up defenses there, allowing Chen Hu to leave with ease.
Next, he would arrive at Yaodu (Guangzhou) International Airport. He had a strong connection there, and as long as no legally binding prohibition was issued, he would be able to leave Huaxia smoothly through this connection.
By the time others reacted, he would already be in the United States. Everything would be so seamless.
However, to be fair, if it weren't for the creditors pushing Chen Hu too hard, he would never have resorted to such a desperate measure and left Huaxia in such a sorry state.
The straight-line distance from Modu to Yaodu is 1500 kilometers, and the pipeline length is 2123 kilometers. It takes more than two hours by plane, but only 1 hour and 20 minutes by pipeline, which is significantly faster than by plane.
The direct result of this is that airfares have begun to drop, and many airlines have simply stopped operating the entire coastal routes because they cannot compete with the super vacuum high-speed magnetic levitation train in terms of operating costs.
Fortunately, this pipeline only connects the entire southeastern coastal region, so business for flights to inland areas is still good. However, the entire industry is declining, and many aviation professionals are shouting that the end of the aviation industry is coming.
Of course, these situations were irrelevant to Chen Hu. He closed his eyes and began to rest. The next few hours were the most crucial.
He had to clear customs smoothly within 4 hours and board the plane to the United States. If he was delayed by even a minute, it would mean another day's delay.
Who knows what might happen in that day? So he had to leave Huaxia on the last flight of the day.
But what Chen Hu did not expect was that even though he had hidden himself on the vacuum high-speed train, he could not escape the torment of his competitors. He heard a voice from the train's broadcast: "Dear passengers, the train will stop at Nanchang Station midway for 15 minutes. Passengers with personal needs can take care of them during this period. However, the train will only stop for 15 minutes. Once the time is up, the train will continue to depart. If you cannot board in time, we will not bear any responsibility."
"The train will arrive at Nanchang Station at 12:21 PM. Considering it is lunchtime, the train has thoughtfully prepared a rich lunch for you."
"You can order directly from the dining car through the electronic screen on your seat, and during the stop at Nanchang Station, dedicated staff will deliver delicious food to you."
"If you have a special liking for local Nanchang cuisine, you can also use the special version of the 'E Bufa' delivery App for the vacuum high-speed magnetic levitation train to place your order 40 minutes in advance."
"'E Bufa' delivery personnel will deliver the Nanchang local delicacies you ordered to the train within 40 minutes, delivering them to your hands, allowing you to taste Nanchang's cuisine without leaving your seat."
"If you have any ordering needs, please place your order as soon as possible. After 11:40, the ordering function of the 'E Bufa' App will be disabled. Thank you for your understanding!"
"Damn it!" Chen Hu could not have imagined that even after hiding on the ultrasonic magnetic levitation train, he would still hear the name he least wanted to hear. This made Chen Hu curse involuntarily.
Just one word was not enough to vent his anger, so Chen Hu resentfully added, "Zhao Yao, don't think you've won. I will definitely come back!"
Chen Hu's voice was not quiet. At least the passengers in the two seats in front and behind could hear him. This was obviously not supposed to happen, but at this moment, Chen Hu was overwhelmed with anger and couldn't care less.
As a result, this one sentence actually caused some trouble. Chen Hu suddenly heard someone behind him ask, "Friend, do you know Zhao Yao?"
"..." Chen Hu's face changed. He wanted to deny it, but then he suddenly thought that if he denied it, it would be like burying his head in the sand. After all, he had just cursed Zhao Yao, so how could he say he didn't know Zhao Yao?
So, after a moment of thought, Chen Hu said irritably, "Yes, I know this guy. We were even classmates. He was a slacker in school, and who knew he would become someone of significance."
Chen Hu's words were very clever. Anyone who heard them would naturally assume that Chen Hu was Zhao Yao's classmate and that it was because Zhao Yao had developed so well that his old classmate became jealous and spoke ill of him.
No one would have thought that he was actually Zhao Yao's competitor, unless the person sitting behind was also Zhao Yao's classmate.
Then Chen Hu heard a surprised voice from behind, "You are also Zhao Yao's classmate. You are from Yuanhua High School. Your voice doesn't sound like anyone from our class. Which class are you from? I'm Fan Rui from Class Seven, do you remember me?"
"No, I was his junior high school classmate, but we were only together for one semester, and then I transferred!" Chen Hu quickly corrected himself.
"Oh, too bad, I thought I met a classmate!" Fan Rui behind him exclaimed.
Since the other party had believed his identity, Chen Hu breathed a sigh of relief. Normally, Chen Hu should not have communicated further with this Fan Rui at this time, but Chen Hu felt that it was a very rare thing to meet Zhao Yao's classmate here, and he also couldn't help but want to know some information about Zhao Yao in school, so he couldn't help but start asking questions.
"You're asking about his high school situation?" Fan Rui behind him sighed, "How should I put it? In fact, during the first two years of high school, Zhao Yao and I were not too familiar with each other. Although we were classmates in the same class, we rarely spoke."
"Because at that time, my grades in class were quite good, I was always in the top 10 of the class, and for a while, I was always in the top 3. But Zhao Yao was not doing well. He was always in the bottom few places in the class. It wasn't until his senior year that he started to work hard and catch up in some rankings, but it was too late to catch up then, so he has always been at the middle to lower level!"
"So that's how it is!" Chen Hu nodded, and his mood improved a lot. This was because he remembered that when he was still working at "E Bufa," he would use his own hard work in high school as an example every day, asking employees to work hard with him.
Now it seemed that Zhao Yao was clearly bragging.
"That's not right!" Chen Hu suddenly thought of something and asked somewhat confusedly, "I remember Zhao Yao later got into Jiangnan University. This is a university with the highest score requirements in the country. If he was always in the back of the class at that time, how could he have gotten into Jiangnan University?"
"Eh, don't you know that Jiangnan University just started recruiting when we took the college entrance examination?" Fan Rui asked with some surprise. Chen Hu's face stiffened, and then he smiled, "Is that so? I really don't know anything about Jiangnan University. When I was in high school, I was just messing around and didn't care much about universities. I thought I would just report to whichever university my estimated score allowed, and I didn't specifically investigate these matters!"
"That's true!" Fan Rui nodded. "Don't look at Jiangnan University now having the highest admission score in the country, and some of its majors do not participate in the national unified examinations but have to participate in their separately designed special recruitment examinations."
"But at the time of our college entrance examination, Jiangnan University was just a second-tier university, and its admission score was not allowed to exceed the second-tier score line. So they simply conducted special recruitments and did not participate in the national unified enrollment examinations at all."
"This led to many township schools having poor access to information. The teachers there kept urging students to take the college entrance examination, and they had no idea about Jiangnan University. Even if they knew, they probably wouldn't have let their students participate in the examination of this newly established school at that time."
"That is to say, provincial key high schools like ours actually received notification from the education department, asking us to participate in the special recruitment examination of Jiangnan University."
"Moreover, at that time, Jiangnan University was not as sought after by everyone as it is now. In order to recruit good students, Jiangnan University went all out to advertise in various high schools. I heard that some people even bribed schools and teachers, asking them to order the best students in the school to participate in the special recruitment examination of Jiangnan University."
"Although Jiangnan University offered the treatment of joining Jiangnan Group upon graduation at that time, Jiangnan Group was only the number one in Huaxia at that time, and had not yet reached the level of number one in the world. Many people still disdained it."
"Anyway, as far as I know, none of the top 10 students in our grade participated in the special recruitment examination of Jiangnan University at that time. In our class, in the end, less than 10 people participated in the special recruitment examination, and one of them was Zhao Yao!" Fan Rui said a lot, his mouth full of memories of the past.
"So you also missed that examination back then!" Chen Hu was indeed hearing about these things from more than a decade ago for the first time, and he listened with great interest.
"No, I participated too. And I was admitted back then, but Zhao Yao wasn't!" Fan Rui said lightly.
