Chapter 50: Disliking the Poor and Loving the Rich (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
Early in the morning, Chen Qiang woke up from the training space, went to the car dealership to get the car, and then started a day as a driver.
Although Chen Qiang got the quota for the National Games, he still has to live and eat. He is not the second generation of officials, if he is the second generation of officials and the second generation of riches, he will definitely actively prepare for the competition after getting the quota for the National Games, and there is no problem with training on the playground all day long, and Chen Qiang's words, one day less car, one less day of money.
In the evening, after finishing his day's work, Chen Qiang went directly to the National Labor University.
Founded in 1927, the National Labor University was the first national university founded by the Nanjing Nationalist Government, which was initially established to train professionals for agriculture, but was closed in 1932 due to lack of funds.
The reason why Chen Qiang came to the National Labor University was because he wanted to borrow the playground here.
Chen Qiang is not a student, if it is a church university or a private university, he may not be able to enter the gate of the school, even if he can enter the school, he is not a student in the school, and Chen Qiang is not allowed to use the playground.
National universities are different, they can enter and exit more freely, as long as they are not traitors, they can enter and exit unimpeded, and the playground of the national university is also used casually, even if you are not a student of the school, there is no problem to run two laps.
The relatively small number of students at the National Labor University is one of the reasons why Chen Qiang chose this place.
A school founded in 1927 could not have recruited too many students, and according to records, in the fall of 1929, the entire National Agricultural University had only 134 students.
It's 1930, and the highest grade in the school is the third year, and because it is a school that mainly cultivates agricultural talents, the school also has experimental fields for various crops and animal husbandry and silkworm breeding areas, and many students will do practical learning in those places and will not wander around the playground.
When Chen Qiang came to the National Agricultural University, the playground was really empty, which was just enough for Chen Qiang to train in a low-key manner.
Coming to the runway, Chen Qiang stood in front of the starting line, he first received the task of running 100 meters in 12 seconds, and then completed a 100-meter sprint.
"Task, run 100 meters to complete, get a reward, 10 points."
Chen Qiang immediately began to check the cooldown time.
"1:59, 1:58, 1:57...... This means that the cooldown of this quest is 2 minutes. A run is 12 seconds, plus a 2-minute mission cooldown, which means that a mission takes at least 2 minutes and 12 seconds, and theoretically I can complete 27 missions in an hour, which is 270 points. ”
"Of course, in practice, I can't complete 27 tasks in an hour, 15 to 20 tasks should be no problem, that is 150 to 200 points, even if 150 points an hour, 4 hours of training a day, there are 600 points, enough for me to spend in the training space for one night!"
Chen Qiang felt that compared with the previous two tasks, this new task of running 100 meters was simply too cost-effective, and if he didn't have to rely on pulling a car to make a living, he would rather take this new task, so that he could get more points.
It's a pity that Chen Qiang still has to make money by pulling a car, and at this stage he can only take on a 10,000-meter task or a marathon task, which can be completed by the way in the process of pulling a car.
Time flies, and it's the weekend, and all the participants of the Shanghai team of the National Games are all gathered for pre-competition learning. The main thing is to explain the precautions for participating in the National Games, and after the end of the study, each person received a set of competition uniforms.
The opening ceremony of the national athletes was held on April 1, and the venue was Hangzhou, which is not far from Shanghai and could be reached directly by train, so the departure time of the athletes in Shanghai was set for March 28.
……
On the morning of March 28, Chen Qiang came to Shanghai South Railway Station on time, and the starting point of the Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway to Hangzhou is here.
At half past ten on the train, the Shanghai Municipal Government specially chartered a carriage for the contestants, and it was also a second-class carriage. After everyone arrived, they lined up to get on the bus in turn.
Chen Qiang did not find Cheng Jinguan in the crowd, and thought that Cheng Jinguan would set off directly from Suzhou to Hangzhou.
In the future, it will only take 45 minutes to take the high-speed train from Shanghai to Hangzhou, and in 1930, it will take more than five hours to take the train from Shanghai to Hangzhou, and it will often be delayed.
In the twenties and thirties, the train was so slow, the speed was more than 30 kilometers per hour, and there were stops in between, and if there were more stops, the average speed would be less than 30 kilometers per hour
In the future, after the opening of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, there is a joke that it takes six hours to take the high-speed train from Shanghai back to the capital, and it takes eight hours to take the train back to the capital during the Republic of China, so it is not much faster than the Republic of China now.
However, the current capital is Beijing, and the capital at that time was Nanjing, which is more than 1,300 kilometers from Beijing to Shanghai, and about 300 kilometers from Nanjing to Shanghai. The 300-kilometer journey took eight hours for the train, and it was one of the fastest train lines at the time.
To get back to the point, Chen Qiang was at the end of the line in line with the principle of not attracting attention, and he was also the last to get on the train.
However, what Chen Qiang didn't expect was that as soon as he got in the car, he was recognized by everyone.
"It's the coachman, the coachman who outperformed Cui Linhai!"
There was no way, there were many people who witnessed the competition that day, and even the athletes who were not present at the time heard about it afterwards. After all, Cui Linhai is also a sprinter in Shanghai, and he lost to the coachman, which made too many people feel incredible.
Trying to pretend to be low-key did not succeed, but attracted everyone's attention, and Chen Qiang was a little embarrassed.
"If you had known this earlier, you should have gotten in the car earlier and found a corner to cat. The last one got on the bus and was treated as a giant panda. Chen Qiang said secretly in his heart.
Many people have this experience, when taking public transportation, when someone gets on the bus, the person who was originally sitting in the seat can't help but glance at the new passengers, especially in the era when there are no smartphones, passengers have nothing to do except look at the scenery on the side of the road, and watching the new people on the bus is also a thing to relieve boredom.
So Chen Qiang, who got on the bus at the end, greeted everyone's eyes and was recognized.
Chen Qiang smiled awkwardly at everyone, and then began to look for a seat.
The train carriages of this era were narrower than those of later generations, and the second-class carriages could only fit four people in a row, that is, there were two seats on each side of the aisle.
Chen Qiang looked over, and there were people in the seats near the aisle.
Chen Qiang walked to one of the seats, and the passenger in this seat was sitting on the side of the aisle, and the place by the window was still empty.
Chen Qiang was just about to ask this passenger to give way and get better, but the person in the seat preemptively said: "There are people here!" ”
A trace of anger suddenly rose in Chen Qiang's heart, the entire carriage was wrapped up by the Shanghai team, and Chen Qiang was the last player to get on the train, and no one would come to this carriage at all, and there could be no one on the empty seat of this carriage.
Obviously, the person in the seat didn't want Chen Qiang to sit by his side at all.
Chen Qiang is not surprised to meet this kind of person, even in later generations, there are many such people, one person dominates the position of two people, only to be comfortable for himself, and not to give convenience to others.
Chen Qiang shook his head helplessly, and then walked to the next seat. In that seat, the passenger was also sitting next to the aisle, and the window seat was also empty.
When the person in the seat saw Chen Qiang coming over, he immediately put his bag towards the window, and he took a seat, obviously telling Chen Qiang, don't sit here.
"There's someone sitting here."
"I'm going to lie down and rest for a while, you can find another seat!"
"My bag is so big that I can only fit on the seat."
One person after another rejected Chen Qiang for various reasons, and even some people would not respond to Chen Qiang's request to sit at all, even if there was a vacant seat next to them, they were unwilling to let Chen Qiang sit down.
These people are obviously deliberate, and that attitude smacks of discrimination.
Chen Qiang's heart was full of anger, but soon, this anger turned into helplessness.
He knew that the reason why everyone rejected him was only because he was a coachman, the lowest level of society.
In this era, nine times out of ten those who can achieve results in sports are the children of rich and noble families, and this is especially true in big cities like Shanghai, and there are many second-generation officials like Cui Linhai among the athletes.
The so-called poor literature and rich martial arts, if you want to learn literature, as long as you can afford to pay the tuition fees and buy books, the poor can grit their teeth and squeeze out some money to spend on their children's education. If you practice martial arts, you must at least have a good body, and you need chickens, fish, meat and eggs to replenish your body every day, which is much more expensive than paying tuition fees to buy books.
The same is true for practicing sports, especially in the era when most people have not yet solved the problem of food and clothing, sports are things that only rich people will play, and the best of them are people with rich families. These people do not worry about food and clothing, and do not worry about their future life, so they will spend more energy on sports, so they will achieve better results.
Even in the future, it doesn't cost you to go to the library to read a book, but it costs tens of thousands of fitness cards to go to the gym to exercise.
Of course, these rich children look down on drivers like Chen Qiang, and they don't want to sit in the same seat with him.
It is nothing new to hate the poor and love the rich, it has been the case for thousands of years, even in modern times, in those aristocratic schools, if a poor person is mixed in, he will be despised by his classmates.
In this way, Chen Qiang walked from one side of the carriage to the other, but there was no seat.
Chen Qiang remembered a scene in "Forrest Gump", when Forrest Gump took the school bus to school, no one was willing to accept Forrest Gump, a "fool", to sit by his side, and in the end, only Jenny was willing to sit with Forrest Gump.
And on this train, there is obviously no "Jenny" without Chen Qiang.
Chen Qiang wanted to loudly reprimand these guys who looked down on people, but after thinking about it carefully, Chen Qiang felt that it was better to forget it.
He is a coachman, and there is no backstage in Shanghai, and the people here are all noble sons, and they can't take the initiative to offend people.
has no power and no power, you still have to coax when you should coax! If you don't have the ability to make trouble everywhere, you think that you don't die fast enough, and people who don't have brains will do that.
But Chen Qiang can't stand all the time! That's more than five hours away!
"Forget it, there is no place to stay here, the train is so long, I'll go to the next carriage to have a look." Thinking of this, Chen Qiang directly pushed the door and walked out of this carriage, and then entered the next carriage.
The next car is the dining car!
The 300-kilometer journey takes eight hours, so a dining car is a must.
As soon as Chen Qiang entered the compartment of the dining car, he heard the sound of quarreling.
Chen Qiang looked up and saw a foreigner in a suit and a top hat, arguing with the chef in the dining car.
"What the hell are you talking about, I don't understand!" The chef said with a big grin, waving his hand.
The foreigner on the other side was also angry, and he yelled at the chef: "Do you want to listen to me?" ”
