Interstellar Number One Farmer: I Only Want To Farm!-Chapter 82 - 30: Explanation

At their own venue, but Wu Zhaoxiang made the first move, President Hu glared angrily at Hu Ping, blaming this foolish son for not introducing the person to him first.

President Hu also greeted Su Xiaocai at the back, "Young student, promising and talented, let’s not stand here, let’s go inside and sit."

The group was all students from the Military Training University. In President Hu’s eyes, those with great learning truly have style.

Back in the day, he was also a handsome young man. One of the reasons he admired the mother of his child was, of course, her higher education.

In the Interstellar Era, high schools could already teach many societal skills, similar to universities in the old days.

Now, college is equivalent to further refinement of talent.

The diploma has more value, but it’s not necessary. For ordinary people, graduating from high school marks the end of their academic journey.

Studying further not only requires money but also time and energy.

Though going to college isn’t necessary, it doesn’t mean society doesn’t idolize it.

All the Mecha Masters in the army are university graduates; just this fact is enough to attract many to continue their studies.

The Capital Star is so large, with a population of eight billion, yet it only has five universities. Of course, other planets have universities too, but not in large numbers. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

It’s clear that those who go to college are either super geniuses, those with some spare money at home, or truly eager learners.

President Hu wished to study, but soon found that he couldn’t absorb anything as he got older.

So when his son got into Military Training, he didn’t know how long he rejoiced.

President Hu led them into the building. The building used to be Hu Family property, but after his elder brother squandered resources too quickly, President Hu managed to buy it back through someone.

This was used as the headquarters for his own company.

The building took up a lot of space and couldn’t be used entirely as an office, so President Hu only had the second, third, fourth, and top three floors as company sites, and rented out the other floors.

Other company employees greeted President Hu with the friendly nickname, "Hello, Landlord."

President Hu waved his chubby hands with a grin, "Good, good, good."

"Landlord, is your son on holiday? Wow, he even brought a bunch of good-looking young men and women over."

President Hu: "Hahaha, can’t help it, my son is filial, bringing top students from Military Training who study Mecha to help me brainstorm."

Businessmen can blow anything out of proportion, even to the sky.

Just listen and treat it as such.

The person didn’t care much about what President Hu said, "Congratulations, I believe President Hu will soon get what he wishes for."

In the building, all formally employed staff know that President Hu is determined to start a tech industry, but unfortunately, it has cooled down, colder than naked in space.

No one would dare say to President Hu’s face that hiring top students is a waste.

As soon as President Hu’s group left in a hurry, less than ten minutes later, the entire building was buzzing with the news that President Hu wanted to toss into a new tech project again.

Many people’s messaging groups on their phones quickly refreshed with information.

"I saw a little girl among his son’s classmates, very cute, just started university, right?"

"Kids these days are going to college younger and younger; back in my day, I was already twenty-five when I graduated high school."

"Twenty-five is still young, okay? I graduated high school at forty. My mom was almost driven crazy by me being held back."

"Who knows what new project President Hu is aiming for this time. With this money, it’d be better to cut us some slack on the rental; today, he complained again that the landlord shows no leniency, not dropping the rent by a cent."

"It’s laughable, a downtown building, the landlord cutting the rent is impossible, not raising it already shows mercy."

"So let’s stop the digression, let’s start betting, fifty cents per bet, I’ll start with the highest, ten bets, betting that President Hu’s investment is doomed again."

"The young master brought classmates over just for fun, doing this is not very polite. I also place a vote for President Hu’s tech project to fail."

"You vote one, I vote one, all bets on failure, who’s going to bet on success then?"

"Pah, pah, pah, the young master’s friends are amazing, they’ll succeed this time, I’ll place ten bets on their victory."

"Yes, President Hu is sure to win, the young master leading us to glory."

A string of ellipses expressing their speechlessness.

Everyone: That secretary section of President Hu’s is at it again with the flattery.

With people from the secretary section involved, everyone joined in the betting frenzy, thinking how much wealth could such young students bring?

If there was someone a bit older among them, maybe there’d be hope.

A few cent gambling pool set up, and super many people responded immediately.

No one regulated such small bets, and there was specialized software to support public participation, considered as adding a bit of entertainment.
