Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 816 Don’t worry, I’m here
When the three minutes were up, Fan Xinhua accepted A Bao's plan. Although he would certainly lose his position as factory director, at least he would not have to go to jail. Otherwise, more than 700,000 T-shirts would become worthless waste, causing significant collective property losses, and he would have to spend the rest of his life in prison.

For Abao, with Fan Xinhua's 700,000 T-shirts, Sanyang's inventory will be sufficient. They are exactly the same products, and they can be put on the market for sale as long as they are repackaged and put on Sanyang's label.

The only unhappy person was Mr. Ma from Zhuji, as he should have been the one to earn the money from the more than 700,000 T-shirts.

A Bao walked up to Boss Ma with a glass of wine in his hand, put his hand on his shoulder and said in a heroic tone.

"Boss Ma, don't worry. Sanyang's future shipments will definitely be more than just a few hundred thousand T-shirts. Now that Sanyang has become famous, I will also make Sanyang jeans, Sanyang shirts, and Sanyang suits."

"There will be so many orders in the future, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle them all."

Upon hearing this, Boss Ma's previous unhappiness disappeared, and he immediately drank three cups with A Bao.

Since it was a celebration banquet, there were naturally rewards. Qin Hao and A Bao each took out 500,000 to buy a large number of prizes. Suppliers, employees, and management could all participate in the lottery.

Whenever someone won the first prize and took away a 21-inch color TV, the exclamations from the audience attracted the attention of passers-by.

When a waiter at Jin Meilin saw this scene, envy almost overflowed from his eyes.

"Xiao Jiangxi, stop looking and serve the food quickly."

"Oh."

The next day, in the alley next to the grocery store, waiters from various restaurants hid inside to take a break while the restaurants were not open yet.

"Hey, Minmin, do you think we have a future as waiters in this restaurant? Every day we either carry plates and serve food or take orders and pour wine. When customers finally give us a tip, we have to be very careful for fear of being seen by the foreman manager."

Minmin, who had a plump figure, drank soda while saying, "What else do you want to do? Although being a waitress is a bit tiring, you can still learn a lot. Look at our Manager Pan. I heard that the boss's wife spent a lot of money to poach her. If I can have one tenth of Manager Pan's ability, I will definitely get a high salary in the future."

Ruth, the foreman of the Red Heron Restaurant, also advised Xiao Jiangxi: "How long have you been here at Huanghe Road? You're already saying there's no future. Many of the boss ladies here started out as waitresses."

Xiao Jiangxi's face was filled with reluctance: "How long will it take, five years or ten years? I think it would be better to go to Vientiane Plaza and be a salesperson. You didn't see the celebration party last night. Many ordinary salespeople won imported color TVs, which is equivalent to several months' salary for us."

Minmin also showed envy when she heard this: "Really? Isn't Mr. Qin too generous?"

"The sales staff at Vientiane Plaza are good, with high salaries and good benefits, but forget it. They have high requirements, too. You have to be a high school graduate at least. Some foreign brands also need to be able to speak a foreign language."

Ruth's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on the two young fellow villagers.

"Stop chatting, it's time to get to work."

The group of waiters scattered like birds and beasts, and soon the alley returned to peace.

However, the grand occasion of last night's celebration banquet was still spread through the mouths of these waiters, and became a topic of conversation among customers of the Huanghe Road Restaurant after dinner.

"I would say that in Shanghai, the one who has the final say is Boss Qin. That Boss Li made such a big fuss, but what was the result? It still ended in a dismal way."

"I've said it a long time ago. As long as Vientiane Plaza doesn't collapse, Boss Qin will be invincible. Not to mention Boss Li alone, even if ten or eight of them are put together, they won't be his opponent."

"That's right. Look how popular the Three Sheep brand is now. Isn't it promoted by Vientiane Plaza? Mr. Bao is so lucky to have a friend like Mr. Qin in this life."

At Zhizhenyuan Hotel, Li Li listened to the customers' discussions, her face still grim. In fact, she had been mentally prepared for such an outcome, but she did not expect Boss Li to be defeated so quickly. She thought that with the support of those people, Boss Li would be able to hold on for a while, at least to deal a blow to Qin Hao's reputation in the Shanghai business circle.

"Manager Pan, how is the turnover this month?"

Facing Li Li's inquiry, Manager Pan's face looked a little grim: "This month's turnover is less than 80."

A restaurant has a monthly turnover of 80, which is close to 30 million a year. Based on the hotel's % gross profit, the profit is million a year. Moreover, for a high-end hotel like Zhizhenyuan, the profit is definitely more than that. The annual income is already considerable.

But you have to know that before Zhizhenyuan offended Qin Hao, its daily turnover was 8 yuan, which is 240 million yuan a month.

Li Li frowned upon hearing this: "Business is so bad?"

Manager Pan reminded, "It's been a lot worse these days. Boss Li's former friends haven't come since he got into trouble. I'm afraid if this continues."

"Okay, I understand." After saying that, Li Li turned around and walked straight to the kitchen.

With fewer customers in front, the kitchen was naturally quieter. However, when they saw Li Li coming, everyone immediately pretended to be busy, for fear that they would displease the proprietress and be fired.

However, after Li Li came to the kitchen, he ignored the employees, just glanced at Mr. An, and then walked towards the employee passage at the back.

Mr. An took off his chef's hat, motioned to the chef to keep an eye on things for him, and then followed.

"Is the situation bad?" Mr. An asked with a frown when he saw Li Li had already started smoking.

Li Li exhaled a puff of smoke: "Did you see it?"

"You can tell whether a restaurant's business is good by looking at the kitchen." Mr. An paused and said, "Do you want me to talk to Mr. Qin? He shouldn't be a stingy person."

"If it was something else, there might be room for maneuver, but he won't forgive you this time." Li Li interrupted directly.

"What are your plans?"

"After the Chinese New Year, Qiang Mujie will come to Shanghai."

Mr. An shook his head and said, "Qiang Mujie can't beat Mr. Qin."

"Qiang Mujie alone may not be his opponent, but he is not fighting alone this time."

Mr. An sighed lightly and said nothing more. He reached out to take the unfinished cigarette butt from Li Li's hand and took a deep puff: "When Qiang Mujie comes, arrange for me to meet him."

After saying that, Mr. An put out his cigarette, turned around and walked back.

"Okay." There was a glimmer in Li Li's eyes. She knew that perhaps the high-spirited Mr. A was about to come back.

On January 1993, 1, a new list of Shanghai famous brands was released, and Sanyang Brand was on the list. The 15 million US dollar order in Abao's hand could obtain additional export quotas, which also meant that Miss Wang was only one step away from the position of section chief.

On this day, Miss Wang came to No. 27 The Bund as usual.

"Good morning, Xiao Wang. Have you had breakfast yet? I have some hot soup dumplings that I just bought. Do you want some?"

"Xiao Wang, are you thirsty? I have some new milk that I delivered today. Try it and see how it tastes. If it tastes good, I'll bring you more tomorrow."

Miss Wang was completely confused. Ever since the rumor that she was going to be the section chief spread, these colleagues had either kept their distance from her or spoken coldly to her. Why did they suddenly change their ways today?

Just when Miss Wang was full of questions, Chief Jin called her to his office.

Everyone looked at Miss Wang's back and talked a lot.

"Hey, do you think Miss Wang will be promoted to section chief soon?"

"That's right. With this 10 million USD in sales, who has anything to say?"

"Oh, there's nothing I can do. He has a strong backing. If I had a fiancé like him, I could also be the top performer."

"Tsk tsk, if I had a fiancé like this, I would have gone home to be a rich wife long ago, and would not be here competing with these poor sisters for a section chief position."

"That's true. Mr. Qin has too much wealth to spend. I don't know what Xiao Wang is thinking. Why doesn't he get married quickly and tie her down?"

"Maybe he has a strong desire to be an official?"

Mei Ping listened to her colleagues' discussions, glanced deeply in the direction of Section Chief Jin's office, and her fingers hidden in her sleeves pinched until they turned slightly white.

Not long after, Miss Wang came out of Chief Jin's office with a faint smile on her face.

Just now in the office, Section Chief Jin revealed that her superiors had talked to her and asked her to report to her new post as soon as possible. In other words, her days as the section chief of Bund 27 have entered the countdown.

Just as Ms. Wang was happily waiting for the organization to announce that she would take over as section chief, three days later, she was called up by the Organization Department as she wished.

However, when the people from the Organization Department opened their mouths, Miss Wang was dumbfounded.

"We have received a report that you took advantage of your position to accept bribes."

After being stunned, Ms. Wang was full of dissatisfaction: "You should have evidence to prove your point. When did I accept a bribe?"

"If there is no solid evidence, we would not invite you here. I hope you understand that the organization has always treated comrades with the attitude of punishing past mistakes and preventing future ones, curing illness and saving lives. But if you resist stubbornly, it will be an even greater crime."

Miss Wang was so angry that she slammed the table and said, "I'll say it again, I, Wang Mingzhu, have never accepted bribes. If you don't believe me, you can go and investigate."

"Comrade Wang Mingzhu, if you continue to be so stubborn, don't blame us for being ruthless. Don't you want evidence?" The secretary of the Organization Department said as he threw a piece of material on the table.

Miss Wang took it and looked at it. She didn't recognize the handwriting on it, but the content inside made her feel familiar, especially some of the items recorded inside.

"Hmph, do you remember now?"

Seeing Miss Wang's face change drastically, the Organization Department officials believed the contents of the report even more.

"It's Mei Ping, right? She was the one who reported me!"

Miss Wang's eyes turned red. The materials said that the bribes she received were actually the souvenirs that Abao brought for her and Qin Hao when he was on business trips over the years. The range was so wide that she couldn't even remember some of them. At No. 27 The Bund, she only told one person about it, and that was Mei Ping.

"Don't worry about who it is. What you need to do now is to take the initiative to explain the problem!"

After a stalemate, seeing that Miss Wang remained silent, the two staff members had no choice but to let her go back first.

When Ms. Wang returned to her workstation, her colleagues all looked at her strangely. At this moment, she saw Mei Ping standing in the crowd, and she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart.

"It was you. You reported me to the Organization Department for taking bribes, right?"

Facing Miss Wang's questioning, Mei Ping pretended to be weak, helpless and pitiful, and tried to hide behind her colleague, but Miss Wang grabbed her wrist.

"It's not me, I didn't."

Miss Wang gnashed her teeth and said, "It's you! I only shared the gifts that Abao gave me with you. Why? I treated you as a friend, but you deliberately framed me behind my back?"

"I didn't frame you. You did accept Mr. Bao's gift."

A hint of pride flashed in Mei Ping's eyes. Over the years, she had recorded every gift that Abao gave to Miss Wang, detailing when, what style, and how much it was worth, all for today.

“You still say it’s not you.”

Miss Wang was so angry that she pushed Mei Ping away. Mei Ping pretended to be weak and fell to the ground. Seeing this, her colleagues hurriedly separated the two, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

"That's enough. What a mess! Come in now."

Section Chief Jin glared at Miss Wang.

"Master, you know I didn't take bribes!"

However, Section Chief Jin simply turned around and went into the office.

After getting off work in the afternoon, Ms. Wang walked out of the Foreign Trade Building in a daze. Just when she stumbled and almost fell, she was picked up by a pair of strong arms.

"Ah Hao, why are you here?"

Qin Hao pinched her pale cheek and complained, "You didn't even call me when something happened. I, your fiancé, have no sense of existence, don't I?"

Miss Wang suddenly felt like crying, and tears filled her eyes.

"Let's go back first. We can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything."

After returning home, Miss Wang was still a little confused. She had worked hard for four years, just to become a golden flower at No. 27 The Bund like her master. She was about to achieve her goal, but failed at the last moment. It seemed as if she had lost her goal in life.

Looking at Qin Hao busy in the kitchen, Miss Wang suddenly remembered some of her colleagues' words advising her to be a rich wife at home, and she was confused for a moment.

At the dining table, Miss Wang was silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "I don't want to go to work anymore."

Qin Hao was slightly stunned when he heard this. He put down his chopsticks, looked at her, and spoke softly.

"I told you that if you get tired of work one day, you can always go home, but not now."

"Why not now?"

"The Miss Wang I know is a professional woman who is determined to become a golden flower at No. 27 The Bund. She is not a coward who would back down because of a small setback."

When Miss Wang heard this, her tears fell into the bowl like pearls from a broken string.

"But they said I took bribes. All the souvenirs that A-bao gave me were stolen bribes."

"They say it's bribery, so it's bribery? Don't worry, I'm here and I will never let you suffer any injustice."

Miss Wang looked at Qin Hao who was full of confidence and was confused for a moment. Could she really explain this matter? After all, she really accepted the gift from Abao, and Mei Ping had recorded everything. Even if Abao could come forward to testify, the organization would not believe it, right?

But it seems that Qin Hao has never gone back on his words.

"Do you really have a way?"

"of course."

Seeing Qin Hao's confident look, Miss Wang felt better. She was about to lower her head to eat, but was stopped by Qin Hao.

"This bowl of rice is too salty. I'll change it for you."

Miss Wang's face suddenly turned red and she glared at Qin Hao angrily.
