Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 1118: Awesome
After the showdown with Zhuang Chaoying, Zhuang Xiaoting was in a gloomy mood for the whole day. Lin Dongzhe stayed by her side, serving her tea and water. He was so attentive that he was simply a lackey. Song Ying was jealous: "This boy has never served me like this before."

Lin Wufeng flattered, "It's my job to serve you, how can I let that brat Lin Dongzhe take it away?"

Qin Hao, who was watching the news broadcast on the side, was unexpectedly fed a handful of dog food. He couldn't help but secretly complain that he had found the root of Lin Dongzhe's "fear of his wife". This thing is hereditary.

But it’s true, with Lin Dongzhe’s company and counseling, Zhuang Xiaoting recovered quickly.

At noon that day, Huang Ling received a call from Xiang Pengfei, who sent her some money and asked her to go to the bank to check whether it had arrived.

"Aunt, please don't rush to refuse. Prices are getting more and more expensive now, and your handicrafts have stopped because you don't have the raw materials. Brother Tunan and Xiaoting are both in college. Even if you don't need it, they do. If it really doesn't work, just think of it as a loan from me. When Brother Tunan and Xiaoting graduate and have jobs, you can return it to me."

In the end, Huang Ling agreed, but when she took the money to the bank to check, she found out that Xiang Pengfei had actually sent her a full 5,000 yuan. She called back, but the hotel said that Xiang Pengfei had checked out. Huang Ling had no choice but to deposit the money first.

The price breakthrough has been reported on TV and in newspapers. At the same time, the new fourth set of RMB has added a 100-yuan note. It should be noted that before this, the largest denomination of the third set of RMB was only 10 yuan. This also indicates a signal that inflation is inevitable.

"Oh, it's really like this now. Prices are rising every day, but wages haven't risen. If this continues, we won't be able to afford food."

"That's right. Goods are plentiful now, and many things don't require tickets anymore, but we can't afford them."

In the Cotton Mill Family Lane, you can hear people complaining about the soaring prices almost every day.

"The Zhuang and Lin families are really wealthy. Even with the high prices, they still have fish or meat every day."

"What Zhuang family, Lin family? Teacher Zhuang was kicked out. It should be the Huang family and the Lin family. Their children are promising. I heard that the prize money for the world champion of Go is hundreds of thousands of US dollars, which is more than you can spend in a lifetime."

The more Zhang A-mei listened, the angrier she became. When she got home, she saw Wu Jianguo drinking wine and eating fried peanuts. She was immediately furious.

"Prices have gone up so much now. We can barely afford to eat at home. And you still have the mood to drink here."

Wu Jianguo looked helpless: "Who made you unhappy again?"

"You, you guys, there is no one in your family who makes me worry."

Zhang A-mei began to count on her fingers and scolded them one by one: "You don't strive for progress. Others try to find ways to take on private jobs to earn money after work, but you just sit and lie down like a big shot when you get home."

"And Xiao Min, she didn't want to be a good employee of the third factory, but wanted to be a self-employed person. She ignored all the good people in our alley and insisted on finding a boyfriend who was not very good at anything."

"Just make me mad!"

Wu Jianguo was scolded so badly that he couldn't even raise his head. Xiao Min wasn't going to tolerate her and rushed out of the room.

"I originally wanted to go to medical school, but you said that studying textiles was a safe option and I could take over after graduation. But what happened? When I graduated, the policy changed and the cotton mill didn't want us anymore. Isn't it all your fault? Besides, what's wrong with me learning hairdressing and becoming a self-employed person? I pay my food expenses on time every month."

"Besides, what's wrong with me just not being able to find a boyfriend who's not good enough? The ones you said are good are the ones from that small courtyard, mom, I'm not like you, a toad who wants to eat swan meat."

"The one who really has a chance is actually Shanshan, but it was you who changed her application, so she couldn't get into college. Now she and Zhuang Tunan are like strangers, there's no hope for her."

Zhang A-mei was so angry that her face turned pale: "You...get out of here!"

"Humph, get out of here if you want!"

Wu Shanshan listened to the quarrel in the main room with mixed feelings. In fact, she sometimes envied Xiao Min. She was always cautious when facing Zhang A-mei, fearing that she would upset her and make her father embarrassed. She was even more worried that Zhang A-mei would take revenge on her younger brother Xiaojun.

"Xiaojun, when you go out later, just pretend you didn't hear anything, okay?"

"Oh."

In the small courtyard, the two families had just finished lunch when Wu Shanshan suddenly came in carrying some cakes.

"Auntie Huang, Auntie Song, I passed by a snack bar and bought some cakes. I thought I'd bring them over for you to try."

Huang Ling and Song Ying were both touched: "Look at you, kid, you're just wasting money. Prices are so high now, and you've just started working, so spend your salary sparingly."

"Hurry up and sit down. Lin Dongzhe, cut some watermelon from the refrigerator and bring it here."

After Wu Shanshan sat down, she said with emotion: "Aunt Huang and Aunt Song have been kind to me since I was a child. They always think of me first when they have something good to offer..."

Song Ying exchanged glances with Huang Ling: "Shanshan, what are you doing here today? If you have something, just tell us. We will definitely help you if we can."

"It's like this, Aunt Song. Prices have been rising recently, and there's been a lot of quarrels at home. Xiaojun is going to take the high school entrance exam next year, and the current environment at home is really not conducive to his review. I was thinking that Pengfei doesn't live at home now, so can we let Xiaojun live in Pengfei's room first, and when Xiaojun finishes the high school entrance exam, or when Pengfei comes back, we can move back immediately." Wu Shanshan held Song Ying's hand and said pitifully.

Song Ying couldn't bear to refuse for a moment, but Qin Hao spoke first.

"Wu Shanshan, Pengfei lives in my house. You can just talk to me about this."

Wu Shanshan let go of Song Ying's hand angrily: "Look, I'm so anxious that I'm confused."

Qin Hao waved to Wu Shanshan: "Let's go, let's go out and talk."

"This……"

Wu Shanshan still wanted to act pitiful in front of Song Ying, Huang Ling and others, but Qin Hao didn't buy it and directly pulled her away.

At the snack shop at the corner of the alley, Qin Hao bought the same portion of cakes that Wu Shanshan had bought. Wu Shanshan was stunned on the spot.

"Take it, we're even, and don't even think about borrowing your place to stay."

Wu Shanshan said pitifully, "I just want... I want Xiaojun to have a quiet environment to review. There's been a lot of noise at home lately, and I'm afraid it will affect his high school entrance exam..."

"Wu Shanshan, put away your pitiful act. It won't work on me."

"I didn't. I really just wanted Xiaojun to have a quieter study environment. You know Xiaojun is not like you and Zhuang Tunan. He is restless and easily disturbed. If it really doesn't work, can I pay for the rent?"

Qin Hao sneered: "Wu Shanshan, you lost your mother when you were young, and then Uncle Wu married a stepmother who has a fierce personality and likes to take advantage of others, so the uncles and aunts in the alley are very sympathetic to you, especially Aunt Huang and Aunt Song, so that you have an illusion that as long as you pretend to be pitiful, you can get selfless help from others, right?"

"You're talking nonsense, I didn't..." Wu Shanshan looked at Qin Hao's shining eyes and felt inexplicably flustered.

"When did this illusion break down for you? If I'm guessing correctly, it should be when your high school entrance exam application was changed, right?"

Qin Hao's words were like a sharp knife that pierced the secret hidden in the deepest part of Wu Shanshan's heart, making her panic.

"Your high school entrance exam results were very good. As the director of the affiliated high school, Mr. Zhuang couldn't have been unaware that your high school entrance exam application had been changed, but he didn't tell you. Even Aunt Huang, who had always been very kind to you, didn't tell you. So from that time on, you hated them, right?"

"These are all your random guesses. Aunt Huang is so nice to me, how could I hate her?" Wu Shanshan retorted stiffly.

Qin Hao looked at her coldly, his tone devoid of warmth: "Wu Shanshan, do you think you can get everything by pretending to be pitiful? Do you think you can achieve your goal by taking advantage of other people's sympathy? Let me tell you, no one in this world owes you anything. Aunt Huang and Aunt Song treat you well because they are kind, not because they owe you anything. But you take their kindness for granted, and even think that they should be responsible for your life. People like you don't deserve their care at all."

Wu Shanshan's tears suddenly welled up, and her voice was a little hysterical: "What do you know? You have everything since you were a child. Your parents love you, and your neighbors like you. You don't know how hard my life is! I just want to make my life better. What's wrong with me?"

"Wu Shanshan, just because you have a hard time is not a reason for you to hurt others. The decision to change your high school entrance exam choice was made by your stepmother Zhang A-mei and your father Wu Jianguo, but you took your anger out on Aunt Huang and Aunt Song. You hate them for not helping you, but have you ever thought about why they should help you? They have been good enough to you, and it's you who is greedy and wants more."

Wu Shanshan's tears kept falling, and her voice became lower and lower: "I just... I just want to make myself feel better..."

"So you want to seize my house. You know I'm already 18 years old. The factory has stopped giving me benefits, and no one in my family works at the cotton mill. Once Xiaojun moves in, he won't move out. Then the house will belong to the Wu family. Wu Shanshan, don't think you're so smart, and don't treat others as fools. This is the last time I warn you. Stay away from Aunt Huang and Aunt Song."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

Qin Hao left immediately after he finished speaking, leaving Wu Shanshan squatting on the ground crying with a bag of pastries in her hands.

Back in the courtyard, Song Ying asked with concern: "How was your conversation with Wu Shanshan?"

"Although Pengfei is often on business trips and not in Suzhou, he often comes back to Suzhou. It is really inconvenient without a place to live, so I didn't agree." Qin Hao said in a flat tone.

Huang Ling lowered her voice and said, "I heard that there was a rumor in the factory recently that they were going to sell the house to internal employees to raise funds. Shanshan was not around me just now so I couldn't say anything. I don't know if this kid has heard such rumors as well."

"No way? Shanshan has set her eyes on Haozi's house?" Song Ying was shocked.

"It's hard to say. Although it's just a rumor now, the policy changes so quickly, it may be true. If Shanshan hears about this rumor and comes to beg us to let Xiaojun live in Haozi's house..." Huang Ling didn't continue speaking, but her attitude was already very clear.

"How could she do this? We have helped her so much, isn't she repaying our kindness with evil?" Song Ying was very angry.

"Well, you know Zhang A-mei's character. Not getting the advantage is already a loss. Over time, Shanshan will inevitably be affected." Huang Ling sighed.

"I used to dislike Xiao Min and felt sorry for Shanshan. But now it seems that Xiao Min is not like Zhang A-mei at all. Instead, Shanshan has become another Zhang A-mei. What a twist of fate." Song Ying sighed.

The happy time of summer vacation is always short. In a blink of an eye, it is the beginning of the school year again. Zhuang Tunan and his two friends return to Shanghai to study again, while Qin Hao returns to his unit early to be his "mascot"

Ever since his identity as a world champion of Go was revealed, whenever higher-ups came to inspect, he was always on the list of people to be received by the Planning Bureau.

In Li Jia's words: using public funds for eating and drinking.

The habit of eating and drinking has been going on for who knows how many years. Although the superiors have repeatedly issued orders and documents to conduct strict investigations, there are still countermeasures to every policy.

In October, the higher authorities issued a document to carry out "macro-control, governance and rectification" on the phenomenon of skyrocketing prices, which also meant that the "price breakthrough" plan for the transition from a planned economy to a market economy ended in failure.

It was also in this month that Qin Hao resigned from his job as the "mascot" (no, the job at the Planning Bureau).

Li Jia expressed support for Qin Hao's decision. After all, Qin Hao did not rely on the salary from the Planning Bureau to make a living.

It was Song Ying who advised Qin Hao to think carefully. After all, for people who grew up in her generation, a formal job was equivalent to a stable job, not to mention that the Planning Bureau was a government department.

However, Qin Hao was determined, so Song Ying could only grumble a few words on the phone and never mentioned it again. However, she transferred the 100,000 yuan deposit that Qin Hao had given her from a fixed deposit to a current account, thinking that she could withdraw the money at any time if Qin Hao needed it.

After Qin Hao quit his job, he began to live a free and easy life. Two months later, he went back to Northeast China with Li Jia. After returning, they went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate.

During the Chinese New Year, Qin Hao directly booked Deyue Tower and invited relatives and friends of both parties to celebrate.

That night, the news of Qin Hao's marriage appeared in Suzhou Evening News and was later reprinted by many media.

Just as Qin Hao and Li Jia returned to Shanghai after their honeymoon, they received an invitation to the Yingshi Cup.

Like the Fujitsu Cup, the Yingshi Cup also invites Go masters from all over the world, and the champion prize is as high as 40 US dollars.

This also made countless Japanese chess fans shout again: The opportunity for revenge has come.

Therefore, Japanese Go masters came out in full force again and expressed their firm attitude before the game that they would defeat Qin Hao in the Yingshi Cup and defend the dignity of Japanese Go.

However, the result was that Qin Hao was extremely lucky and met only Japanese chess players along the way. By the time he entered the finals and met Cho Hunhyun, all six top-notch Japanese players were defeated by him without a single one left.

In the final, Qin Hao once again defeated Cho Hunhyun 3:0 and successfully defended the title of Go world champion.

"Who can defeat him?"

For a time, Qin Hao became an insurmountable mountain standing in front of Go players from all over the world.
