Beijing.

After Jiang Hua left, Wu Qinqin resumed her usual life, going to and from get off work every day, and on the line at two o'clock. However, she occasionally went to the courtyard to visit a few teenagers and care about their studies.

Although prices in the capital have calmed down after a brief period of turmoil, the prices of some individual items have not dropped.

Early in the morning, Wu Qinqin drove her newly purchased Beetle to work at the song and dance troupe and saw an old pickup truck parked in the yard.

"Master Wang, why did you buy so much ginger and garlic?"

Wu Qinqin asked in surprise when she saw the garlic in a snakeskin bag inside the pickup truck.

Master Wang is the cook in the canteen of the song and dance troupe. In the past, the song and dance troupe was in recession, and those who had the means to leave all ran out to make a living on their own. Even the workplace canteen was almost closed down.

However, after Jianghua's capital injection, the song and dance troupe ushered in a new life. The old canteen was renovated. Master Wang and several of his apprentices were newly invited not long ago.

"It's Xiao Wu. You don't know how to make money. Rice, oil, and salt are expensive. Now the prices of ginger and garlic have almost skyrocketed. You can't cook in the canteen without these things. It's not because wholesale is cheaper.

, so I bought some more.”

Master Wang smiled innocently, and after explaining, he immediately called on several apprentices to carry the dishes into the canteen.

"Isn't it said in the news that prices will be strictly controlled? It won't be long before I believe the prices of ginger and garlic will come down."

Wu Qinqin has been watching the evening news these days, and there are all reports about regulating prices and cracking down on hoarding.

"You are still young, so I feel doubtful about this matter. Didn't you shout that the price of coal would come down? After shouting for so long, the price of coal has not gone up, but it has not gone down either."

Master Wang shook his head and left.

At his age, he is a person who has experienced things, and his outlook on problems is not as naive and optimistic as young people.

Wu Qinqin's eyes flashed with discomfort. The increase in coal prices had something to do with her family. Because of this, her grandfather and her mother's family had a very unpleasant quarrel. This also affected her parents' relationship. Now the couple is married.

By middle age, I was having a cold war and getting divorced.

After practicing dancing in the song and dance troupe for a day, Wu Qinqin came out of the rehearsal hall in the evening and was about to pick up her car. She saw her cousin, who had not been seen for many days, standing next to her car with a playful smile.

"Qinqin, my cousin went to Xiangjiang this time and brought you some gifts. He is having a gathering with friends in the evening, and you just happen to be together."

Bering said with a smile.

"Cousin, why are you dressed like this?"

Wu Qinqin looked Bai Ling up and down, almost not recognizing him just now.

"Isn't it very trendy? Let me tell you, I asked Ah Hai, the most famous stylist in Hong Kong, to design my look. Do you know that he has styled many big stars? Look at me holding a toothpick now.

, doesn’t it look a lot like Brother Ma?”

Bering wiped his shiny hair with his hand and said proudly.

"It's quite similar."

Wu Qinqin smiled awkwardly.

Her cousin was barely 1.7 meters tall, so calling him Ponyboy really flattered him. Even wearing a pair of height-increasing shoes would be useless, the gap was too big.

"By the way, I was so busy chatting that I almost forgot. Let's take a walk. If we stay late, we will miss our meal."

Bering pushed Wu Qinqin into his sports car.

"Cousin, let's forget it, I don't want to go."

Wu Qinqin looked embarrassed. Her grandfather had recently made repeated orders to forbid the children of the Wu family to have any contact with the Tang family. She was particularly embarrassed to be caught in the middle.

"Don't be ignorant of kind-hearted people. My cousin thinks that your social circle is too narrow, so he will help you introduce a few friends to expand your social circle. Don't worry, they are all young men from noble families. Can my cousin harm you?"

Bering pulled hard, pushed Wu Qinqin into the passenger seat, sat down, and then closed the door.

"I'll call my family so they don't worry."

Wu Qinqin smiled bitterly and took out her cell phone, preparing to call her family.

"What are you fighting for? The old man has been angry recently. Don't make yourself uncomfortable."

Bering snatched Wu Qinqin's cell phone and threw it on the bridge.

The dazzling red sports car sped out of the cabaret and headed towards a high-end club in the suburbs of Beijing.

"Why did Qinqin get involved with that dandy cousin again? That guy is a troublemaker who knows nothing but harms girls."

A little sister from a song and dance troupe frowned and looked at the sports car going away.

Bering's reputation in the capital was very bad. He used to harass the little sisters in the song and dance troupe. Everyone hated him and avoided him when they saw him.

"No matter how bad he is, he won't harm his cousin, right?"

Another little sister said in an uncertain tone.

"Maybe, I'd better give Aunt Tang a call."

The little sister who spoke first took out her mobile phone and called Wu Qinqin's mother.

On the other side, Bering ignored traffic rules and drove wildly. Finally, he braked suddenly and stopped the car at the entrance of the club.

"Qinqin, are your cousin's driving skills cool?"

Bering asked proudly.

"Cousin, it's very dangerous for you to disobey traffic rules."

Wu Qinqin's face was pale, and her calves were trembling a little when she got out of the car.

She felt that after her cousin's trip to the south, his personality changed a lot when he came back, and he became more arrogant and unscrupulous.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Bai? Long time no see."

Lin Licong stood at the door of the club and greeted him with a smile.

As he spoke, a pair of eyes fell on Wu Qinqin, and the look in his eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Young Master Lin, I have heard about you. You are really generous. I heard that you have wiped out all the ginger and garlic in several southern provinces and cities?"

Bering opened his arms and greeted him with a smile.

"It was just a small matter, making a little money to make ends meet. I heard that Mr. Bai is the one who has really seen the market rise. He has met and talked with the stock god Soloth?"

Lin Licong looked at Bering and asked.

In the past, Bai Ling was just an inconspicuous little shrimp in the dandy circles in the capital, and dandies of Lin Li Cong's level didn't want to talk to him.

But things have changed recently. The Tang family stepped on the corpses of the Yao family and suddenly emerged, causing a lot of commotion in the coal industry.

More importantly, everyone is spreading rumors that the Tang family has established a relationship with a Wall Street giant consortium, and the two parties are closely collaborating on a project.

As a result, Bering, an inconspicuous little shrimp, suddenly became very popular in the dandy circle.

"Cousin, I don't like this kind of party, so I'll go back first."

Wu Qinqin didn't like the way Lin Licong looked at her.

After saying that, she turned around with her bag in hand, ready to leave. However, she came here in a Bering car. She didn't drive herself, and she didn't see any cars passing by the roadside, so she stood there hesitantly for a moment.

"No, cousin, it's not easy to take a taxi here. After dinner, my cousin will drive you back."
