After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 6 Quarrel
Zhou Haoran will not be easily persuaded to give up.

This Aunt Qiao has a bad reputation.

In his previous life, Qiao Suiqing took sleeping pills and gave up his life.

There are two theories about the cause of death in the alley.

The first possibility is that she had a child with her sponsor, but was abandoned by him. She lost her chance to appear on camera, so she committed suicide.

The second type stems from deep mother-daughter conflicts.

Qiao Suiqing had an illegitimate daughter outside, which made Aunt Qiao very angry and felt it was too shameful. The sound of mother and daughter quarreling could often be heard in the alley.

Later, her mental state became worse and worse, and she suffered from severe depression. She lost the mood to work and the desire to live.

However, this second statement is too sensational.

Everyone thinks the first statement is more reasonable.

Zhou Haoran is not interested in other people's affairs. He just wants to get a job at Red Star TV.

This received strong support from Zhou's father!
Even when Zhou Haoran said he needed 1000 yuan to buy a suit for an interview, his mother was reluctant to let him go, but he got his father's approval.

You know, my parents’ monthly salary combined is only 2500 yuan.

This is a nominal salary.

In fact, state-owned enterprises are now suffering from heavy losses and are on the verge of bankruptcy. They are unable to pay wages, and most of the time they pay wages at 60%-70%.

Some units have even been in arrears of wages for more than half a year, and workers are being laid off in batches.

the next day.

Zhou Haoran called Dongfang Lang and went to the city to buy equipment together.

There is no subway these days.

To get from the county to the city, you need to take a minibus or a large van. A ticket costs 6 yuan and it takes more than 40 minutes to get there.

The best shopping mall in Haigang now is Hongqiao Friendship Store.

However, the goods here are too expensive.

Many of them are imported.

With the little money Zhou Haoran had, he couldn't afford a high-end suit. It would be good enough if he could buy a better domestic suit.

The two went directly to Ping'an Road Pedestrian Street, which is known as "China's No. 1 Commercial Street".

There are many old brands here.

We first went to the most famous First Department Store.

During the Republic of China period, this department store was known as the No. 1 department store in the Far East.

Zhou Haoran knew he couldn't afford it.

The main purpose was to go with Dongfang Lang to see the prices of the time and the bustling atmosphere of the metropolis.

It’s so expensive!

Any shirt costs several hundred yuan, which is equivalent to an average person's monthly salary.

"This is too expensive."

Dongfang Lang has been scared off by the price tags of several thousand yuan.

Zhou Haoran nodded and said, "Yes, this is the gap between the rich and the poor."

Dongfang Lang said, "The suit I just saw cost over 20,000 yuan. My parents can't even afford it with their annual salary."

"Are you jealous?"

Zhou Haoran looked at him with amusement.

Dongfang Lang sighed. "It's unbalanced. We all live in the harbor, but when we compare ourselves to them, we're like heaven and earth. This is the big city, and the county is like a ravine."

"We are much richer than them!"

"what?"

"How can a husband underestimate youth? Youth is the greatest asset." Zhou Haoran's mentality is much more mature than his. "Let's go and feel it for a while. This place is not within our reach for the time being."

Dongfang Lang followed him and was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "Zhou Haoran, I think you are really talented."

"what?"

Zhou Haoran found it a little funny.

Dongfang Lang said solemnly, "Really? I feel like your sense of purpose, drive, vision, and the way you speak and act are all... different from ours. Especially in the past few months, I've felt like you're quite mysterious."

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "This shows that you have a good eye."

Dongfang Lang said, "I've changed my mind. I support you in pursuing Qiao Suiqing. I think you deserve her."

Zhou Haoran's face darkened. "Shut up! You're the one who spread all the nonsense in the alley!"

"No..." Dongfang Lang felt aggrieved. "I just told my mom. I don't know how it got out. Maybe the walls have ears."

Zhou Haoran lectured him, "Don't talk about me anymore, not even to your parents. Don't you know what's going on in the alley? You just believe everything you hear. Aunt Qiao is so angry about this that she won't even let me go to the TV station for an interview!"

Dongfang Lang said "Oh", "Are you still going?"

"Go!" "That's right. Behind every unforgettable love, there is a period of parental disapproval."

"Shut up, you!"

Zhou Haoran felt that this kid had read too many Qiong Yao novels.

Dongfang Lang quickly dodged and said with a smile: "Where are we going now?"

"Go for a walk."

Zhou Haoran was not panicked at all.

The two had already walked out of the First Department Store, but there were still many clothing stores on this commercial street.

In individual clothing stores, the prices will be much lower.

Dongfang Lang said, "If you ask me, don't buy it. It's better to borrow it."

"borrow?"

"Yes, Wang Wenrui from our class, he has a suit, he even wore it during his graduation speech."

"He's too short. It won't fit him." Zhou Haoran had a complete plan, and he didn't buy a suit just for the interview. "I'm working in sales at the TV station. Without a suit, it's hard to do business."

"No way?" Dongfang Lang was surprised. "Are you so confident you can get in?"

Zhou Haoran said calmly, "If I can't get in, I don't know what people in the alley will gossip about me, and Aunt Qiao will definitely make fun of me. Your rumors have already been spread, and I have to fight for this!"

……

A set of domestically made Shanshan suits cost 650 yuan.

A pair of Golden Monkey leather shoes cost 120 yuan.

A belt, 40 yuan.

A white shirt, 90 yuan.

A Harbor brand watch, 80 yuan.

A total of 980 yuan was spent.

Shopping is complete.

Ping'an Road is divided into Ping'an East Road and Ping'an West Road.

The headquarters of Red Star TV, Red Star Building, is located on Pingan West Road. This shows the status of Red Star TV in Haigang, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money.

Zhou Haoran and Dongfang Lang went to the Red Star Building for a walk and to check out the place.

Skillful.

Right on Ping'an West Road, Zhou Haoran discovered a rare thing - an Internet cafe.

An Internet cafe called "Wegate".

Opened last month.

It is the first Internet cafe in China.

Zhou Haoran was curious and dragged Dongfang Lang to find out what was going on. After all, he was best at the internet, and these days, internet cafes were almost the only way to access the internet.

After entering, I found that they were all foreigners.

The internet fee is 40 yuan per hour.

"retreat!"

Zhou Haoran said he did not have the financial resources to go online.

The two of them played around in the city for a long time.

I got back by bus in the evening.

When I returned to the alley, I happened to see the fat lady from the neighborhood committee. She said mysteriously, "The eldest daughter of the Qiao family is back."

"what?"

Zhou Haoran was slightly surprised. Could it be related to him?

The fat aunt whispered, "Not long after they got home, they started arguing."

"in argument?"

"Yeah, I vaguely heard your name."

"what?"

Zhou Haoran felt numb.

The fat aunt said, "I've been listening for a while, and I think I know what's going on. Did your Aunt Qiao not allow you to go to the TV station for an interview? The young girl thinks her mother is being too controlling."

Zhou Haoran said "Oh".

The fat aunt supported her, "It's okay, go for the interview. It's time to go. As long as you and Suiqing are in love with each other, I'll sponsor you for this matchmaking!"

Zhou Haoran said nothing.

I think this alley auntie is really warm and welcoming.
