Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 1114 Airborne
In order to welcome Xiang Pengfei, Huang Ling prepared a table of food and also invited Song Ying's family.

At the dinner table, Xiang Pengfei vividly described the changes that had taken place in Guizhou over the past two years.

"Pengfei, it's already the end of July. What is your mother's plan? If you want to repeat a grade, I'll ask Tunan to ask your uncle to make arrangements for you." Huang Ling's words petrified Xiang Pengfei.

Zhuang Tunan patted Xiang Pengfei on the shoulder and said, "Your college entrance examination score is a little low this time, but if you work hard for another year, it should be no problem to improve it by 50 points. I looked at the admission scores in Jiangsu over the years, and if you improve it by 50 points, you can probably get in."

"Brother Tunan, Aunt, please don't worry about me. I'm really not good at studying. You all saw that I tried my best during the college entrance examination. I might not pass even if I studied for another year. I don't want my dad to carry a pickaxe in the hot sun to earn overtime pay for me. I'm already 18 years old, and I want to earn money to support myself."

Zhuang Xiaoting said cautiously: "Brother Pengfei, high school students are not guaranteed jobs."

"I know, but I'm not afraid of hard work or fatigue. As long as I can earn money to support myself, I'm willing to do it. I will definitely find a job. When I get my salary in the future, I can buy you gifts." Xiang Pengfei pretended to be calm.

Huang Ling asked calmly, "What did your mother say?"

Xiang Pengfei lowered his head immediately. He understood his mother's expectations of him, but he didn't want to waste any more time, and he didn't want to continue to trouble Huang Ling. Huang Ling worked hard to take care of two high school graduates preparing for the college entrance examination. She fell ill just after the college entrance examination. In the past few years in Suzhou, Huang Ling never treated him as an outsider. He ate whatever Zhuang Xiaoting ate. He had long regarded Huang Ling as a family member. If he failed the exam again after repeating a year, his mother would definitely ask him to repeat the second year. He couldn't be so selfish.

"Pengfei, if you really don't plan to repeat your studies, I'll find you a job. The base salary is 50, and food and accommodation are not provided. You get commissions based on sales performance. If you do well, you might be able to buy a house in Suzhou in two or three years and bring your parents back."

As soon as Qin Hao finished speaking, Xiang Pengfei couldn't wait to say, "I'll do it, Brother Hao. Even if there's a base salary, I'll do it even if I don't get paid a penny."

Huang Ling said with some concern: "Haozi, I know you want to help Pengfei, but let's be honest, is Pengfei capable of doing this job?"

Qin Hao smiled and said, "Auntie Huang, don't worry about this. The sales position does not look at academic qualifications or background. Everything depends on performance. Many salesmen at BBK have not even graduated from junior high school, but they still get thousands of yuan in sales commissions every month. Pengfei is a high school student after all, and he is smart. I will find an experienced salesperson to guide him. There will be no problem."

"It's just that I might need to travel frequently in the future. Is that okay?"

Xiang Pengfei said without hesitation: "No problem."

"It's a deal, I'll arrange something for you later, don't quit after working for a few days because you can't stand the hardship."

Xiang Pengfei immediately patted his chest and said, "No problem, Brother Hao, I can endure hardships and will definitely study hard. I won't embarrass you."

That night, Xiang Pengfei was so excited that he couldn't sleep the whole night. He couldn't stop getting excited when he thought that he would be able to earn money to support himself soon. At the same time, he was worried about encountering problems at work and bringing shame to Qin Hao.

The next day, Qin Hao took Xiang Pengfei to the Shanghai branch of BBK. After several years of development, "BBK" has become a leading company in the domestic tape recorder industry. In particular, the "BBK Repeater" launched last year took advantage of the increasing proportion of English scores in the college entrance examination in recent years, and its annual sales increased fivefold.

"Manager Xiao, this is Xiang Pengfei. I have a young friend who just graduated from high school. I'm handing him over to you. Please find an experienced salesperson to teach him well."

Manager Xiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Qin. I will definitely find him a good master."

After that, he made a phone call. Not long after, a man with a Wenzhou accent knocked on the door.

"Old Han, this is Mr. Qin's little brother. Your team is short of one more person. Please take care of him."

"Manager Xiao, rest assured, I will take good care of you."

Qin Hao rushed to Pengfei and nodded. The latter understood and followed Lao Han out of the office.

Along the way, Old Han always had a smiling face. He knew Xiang Pengfei's situation in just a few words. Xiang Pengfei didn't come to his senses until he finished the employment procedures. He couldn't help but admire his master even more.

Xiang Pengfei had just put his luggage into the company dormitory when he was called out by Lao Han.

"Pack up and go on a business trip to the Northeast with me this afternoon."

"Northeast?" Xiang Pengfei was stunned.

Old Han smiled and said, "Not happy? Then I'll go talk to Manager Xiao and ask someone else to take you."

"No, Master, I am happy to do so. I have never been to the Northeast before. How can I not be happy if you can help me broaden my horizons?"

"Not bad, you are quite smart. Go back and pack your luggage. Meet at the train station at three o'clock. No one will wait for you after you are late."

In this way, Xiang Pengfei only had time to call Huang Ling to report that he was safe, and then he followed Lao Han on the train heading north.

At the end of August, Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan took Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting on a train to Shanghai. At the time of parting, Song Ying and Huang Ling held back their grief and waited until the train slowly drove out of the platform. Suddenly, the two mothers broke down and cried.

Lin Wufeng was just about to hold Song Ying in his arms to comfort her, but Song Ying hugged Huang Ling and burst into tears.

This made Lin Wufeng couldn't help feeling a little jealous.

In the evening, Song Ying prepared dinner and called Huang Ling over to eat. Looking at the deserted dining table, Lin Wufeng smiled bitterly and said to himself, "From today on, we are left-behind parents."

As a result, Huang Ling broke down and cried again. While Song Ying was trying to comfort her, she glared at Lin Wufeng fiercely.

On the other hand, after Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting successfully completed the admission registration, they couldn’t wait to see Zhuang Tunan and Qin Hao off, and officially started their college life.

Since Jiaotong University has a clear ban on college students dating, Lin Dongzhe lied that he was Zhuang Xiaoting's distant cousin. The two of them spent the whole day together after school. Sometimes Lin Dongzhe even went out of his way to attend Zhuang Xiaoting's professional classes.

Zhuang Tunan has started a new round of "fighting monsters and upgrading". Unlike college students, graduate students need to work on projects under their supervisors, which is actually similar to going to work. Naturally, they have no time to care about Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting.

Qin Hao was "airdropped" to the Planning Bureau. Li Jia had just arrived at the unit that day and before he could even sit down, he heard gossip from the older sister sitting next to him.

"I heard that we have a new colleague coming today."

A lady next to him adjusted her glasses and said, "New colleague? I haven't heard that our department is short of people. Where did you get the news?"

Before the two of them finished their conversation, the office director walked in with a young man.

"Everyone, put down your work. Let me introduce you to our new colleague, Qin Hao. He is a top student from Tongji University. Please take good care of him and don't bully him."

The older sister next door clapped and whispered to Li Jia: "I remember that you are also from Tongji University, right? Do you know each other?"

"Oh, I know him, a classmate." Li Jia was stunned for several seconds before coming back to his senses.

"Really? Then it's fate. Could it be that you two are..."

Li Jia hesitated for a moment, and the older sister next door couldn't wait to say: "The young man is tall, handsome, and well-educated. He is a good match for my niece. I will find a chance to match them up later."

"He's my boyfriend."

"Ah? I'm sorry, Xiao Li, I don't know, but your boyfriend is so good, you have to seize the opportunity and try to get it done as soon as possible. I'm looking forward to attending your wedding."

It just so happened that there was only one empty seat in the entire office, next to Li Jia.

Looking at Qin Hao walking towards him, Li Jia was a little dazed for a moment.

"Well, I said I would join the Planning Bureau."

"how did you do it?"

"Me? I'm recommending myself. How can the city leaders have the heart to reject a promising young man like me who doesn't seek fame or wealth but only wants to contribute to Shanghai's development?"

In response, Li Jiafei rolled her eyes: "This is the first time I've heard someone describe using the backdoor as so refreshing and refined."

At that time, the Planning Bureau was still a deserted office, and it would not become busy until the large-scale development of Pudong three years later.

Qin Hao and Li Jia’s daily work routine is: pour a cup of hot tea, pick up a newspaper, and then wait to get off work.

However, this way, Qin Hao and Li Jia also had more time to date. Others were unwilling to go out on field work, so they were all recruited over. Over time, everyone in the office knew that they were a couple, and everyone was happy to create opportunities for them.

Perhaps because he had seen how popular Qin Hao was, or perhaps because there were no rules in college that strictly prohibited dating, Qin Hao finally got his wish and won Li Jia over on New Year's Eve in 1988.

However, just as Qin Hao and Li Jia were discussing preparations for the wedding, a large-scale hepatitis A infection suddenly broke out in Shanghai. In the metropolis of 1300 million people, the number of infections reached 29, which immediately became the focus of the whole country and made Shanghai synonymous with the virus.

According to statistics in the news, Shanghai's per capita road area ranks last in the country, and the per capita living area is less than 6 square meters. The whole country was shocked for a time. No one expected that the seemingly glamorous Shanghai was so crowded.

Due to the attention from leaders at all levels, the Planning Bureau began to get busy. However, after years of development in Puxi, there is not much land that can be developed. In addition, there is no money, so the Planning Bureau can only make some improvement plans.

As top students graduating from Tongji University, this job fell on Qin Hao and Li Jia. This was also the first time in half a year that they had received work related to their majors.

However, after being busy for half a month and submitting many planning proposals, none of them were approved in the end. The reason was very simple: there was still no money.

"How about it? Do you feel the gap between ideal and reality?" Qin Hao teased secretly.

Li Jia sighed: "If this continues, I will soon give back everything I learned in the professional courses to the teachers."

"Why don't we quit and find a job where we can use our expertise?"

Li Jia remained silent. Although the job at the Planning Bureau did not pay well, it was stable. After experiencing those years of living under the care of others and feeling uncertain about her future, a stable job could bring her enough sense of security.

In a blink of an eye, the Planning Bureau started its New Year holiday. Li Jia’s grandfather called and told her not to go back, saying that the house was too small and he was afraid that she would be infected with hepatitis A.

As early as the beginning of the hepatitis A outbreak, Li Jia's younger brother Li Wen was called to the Northeast by his parents, and this year they spent the New Year in the Northeast.

"It's too dangerous for you to stay in Shanghai alone. Why don't you come back to Suzhou with me?"

This time Li Jia did not refuse. She agreed after hesitating for a moment. After all, she and Qin Hao already had a de facto relationship and they were going to get married eventually.

Zhuang Tunan, Lin Dongzhe and others had returned to Suzhou long ago after the school holidays. When Qin Hao and Li Jia returned to Suzhou, they went to the station to pick them up.

"Sister Li Jia, when can we attend your and Brother Hao's wedding?" Lin Dongzhe keenly noticed that Qin Hao naturally took Li Jia's hand when leaving the station, and Li Jia did not show any intention of breaking free.

Li Jia looked at Qin Hao with a smile: "Have you ever beaten Lin Dongzhe?"

"I was beaten when I was a kid."

"Then let him relive the happy days of his childhood."

"Brother Hao, please spare my life. Sister Jia Jia, I will never dare to do it again."

The group of people laughed out loud at the sight of Lin Dongzhe jumping up and down to dodge, and even Zhuang Xiaoting laughed unkindly.

When they returned to the cotton mill's family lane, no one greeted Qin Hao and his friends this time. Everyone stayed away from them as if they were the plague.

Lin Dongzhe said depressedly: "I guess no one will come to our house to pay New Year's greetings this year. It feels like they are looking at us as if we are hepatitis A viruses."

"It's human nature to seek good fortune and avoid danger. Didn't we hide back in Suzhou a long time ago?" Qin Hao said, taking Li Jia's hand and walking into the courtyard.

Song Ying didn't hide anything and gave Qin Hao a big hug, then enthusiastically pulled Li Jia into the house.

After chatting for a while, Song Ying saw that it was almost time for dinner, so she prepared to cook, and Li Jia followed her to help her.

Taking advantage of Li Jia's absence, Lin Dongzhe's extinguished gossip fire was rekindled: "Brother Hao, when did you and Sister Jia Jia confirm your relationship?"

"Want to know?"

"Yeah." Lin Dongzhe nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Qin Hao leaned close to his ear and lowered his voice and asked, "When did you and Xiao Ting confirm your relationship?"

Lin Dongzhe was startled and almost fell off his chair: "Brother Hao, how did you know..."

"Do you think I, Zhuang Tunan, have never been in a relationship and am so easy to fool? Anyone can see it from the eye contact between the two of you." Qin Hao sneered.

Zhuang Tunan seemed to have noticed something: "Are you two saying bad things about me behind my back?"

"How could that be possible? Brother Tuanan, you must have heard it wrong." Lin Dongzhe was frightened and quickly denied it.

"Really?" Zhuang Tunan looked at Lin Dongzhe suspiciously, which made him break out in a cold sweat.

"Realer than real gold."

After dealing with Zhuang Tunan, Lin Dongzhe bowed to Qin Hao repeatedly: "Brother Hao, you must keep this secret for me, otherwise I will be in trouble."

"It's miserable sooner or later, so you'd better wish for the best."
