Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 1629: A Battleground?

"Boss, wake up! Something terrible has happened!"

In a daze, Qin Hao felt someone shaking his shoulders vigorously. He struggled to open his eyes and saw a chubby face almost touching his nose. The round head was covered with beads of sweat and looked extremely anxious.

"What's all the noise about? You're disturbing my sleep." Qin Hao pushed the fat face away irritably and was about to lie down again when suddenly, a sharp, throbbing pain came from his temples, as if something was forcibly squeezing into his mind.

Scenes flashed by rapidly, like film reels—

The classrooms of the Academy of Arts & Design at Tsinghua University, the stern and concerned faces of his parents, a brand-new Porsche 986, and countless familiar and unfamiliar faces... A flood of fragmented memories surged forth, impacting his consciousness.

Two or three minutes passed before Qin Hao slowly sat up.

This is the Academy of Arts & Design, Tsinghua University.

His current identity is that of the sole heir to the Qin Group.

According to the original owner's memories, his father, Qin Zhenhua, was among the first to venture into business after the reform and opening up. He started his business in the textile trade and had amassed a fortune by the end of the 1980s. In the 1990s, he astutely seized the opportunity presented by the real estate boom and now owns real estate projects in more than a dozen cities across the country, with his assets conservatively estimated to be over one billion yuan.

His mother, Lin Shuyao, is also a successful businesswoman who built her fortune in foreign trade and has assets worth hundreds of millions.

In other words, he is now a genuine super-rich second-generation heir.

Moreover, he was the only son in three generations, a single lineage across thousands of acres of land; he was the sole heir of the entire Qin family. From childhood to adulthood, he had everything he wanted and had never worried about money.

Even the Academy of Arts & Design at Tsinghua University, where he is currently studying, was only admitted because his parents donated a building to him. The original owner's academic performance was truly appalling, but fortunately, he had been exposed to art since childhood and had some talent for it. In addition, his family spent a lot of money to hire many famous teachers to guide him, so his painting skills were passable, which allowed him to barely get by.

"So, it seems the world doesn't have to worry about money anymore."

Qin Hao stretched, a smile unconsciously creeping onto his lips.

"Boss! Are you even listening to me?!" Fatty Face came closer again, stamping his feet in frustration.

Qin Hao then turned his attention back to the fat man in front of him. According to his memory, this was Lu Yan, his original owner's childhood friend and best buddy. The two grew up together. Lu Yan's family was also in business, making him a rich second-generation heir. However, Lu Yan's family was stricter, and because he was fat as a child, he was often bullied. When the original owner was in middle school, he couldn't stand it and stood up for him, beating up some thugs. From then on, Lu Yan became the original owner's most loyal follower.

However, unlike the original owner who was good for nothing, Lu Yan was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University through his own hard work. This kid is indeed talented in painting, and his solid foundation in sketching has earned him repeated praise from professors.

"What's all the noise about? Look how scared you are. Tell me what happened?" Qin Hao rubbed his eyes, his tone languid.

Lu Yan wore a bitter face, looking like the sky was about to fall: "Boss, didn't you break up with Lu Shanshan yesterday? And then you haven't been answering her calls. She just called my cell phone and said she's coming to the school to talk to you in person. She should be here soon!"

"Lu Shanshan?"

Qin Hao was stunned for a moment, and a beautiful figure immediately appeared in his mind.

She was a tall girl with delicate features, a classic oval face, and beautiful eyes and eyebrows. Her two shallow dimples were particularly captivating when she smiled. Especially her long, slender legs, which, due to years of dance practice, had lines so graceful they resembled works of art.

Lu Shanshan, the most beautiful girl at Beijing Dance Academy.

In the original owner's memory, he met this girl three months ago at a university social event. The original owner was immediately smitten with her, and quickly won her heart with his outstanding looks and generous spending. After they officially started dating, the original owner treated her very well, gifting her many designer bags and high-end jewelry, and even taking her on a vacation to France.

However, old habits die hard, and the original owner was a free spirit and a womanizer. He changed girlfriends faster than he changed clothes, and never dated a girl for more than a month. Lu Shanshan's ability to last three months was already a record-breaking feat.

It must be said that the original owner certainly had the looks to be a womanizer. Standing at 1.85 meters tall, with deep-set, sculpted features and a well-maintained physique from years of fitness training, he was a sight to behold. Add to that his family's wealth, and back in 2001 he was already driving a red Porsche 986 to and from school – a car like that would make him impossible to ignore on the Tsinghua University campus.

"Come on then, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?" Qin Hao yawned and said nonchalantly.

So what if we break up? It's not a big deal. Anyway, the original owner had dumped at least eight or ten girlfriends before, one more or one less doesn't make a difference.

Lu Yan, however, was not so calm. He rubbed his hands together anxiously and lowered his voice, saying, "Boss, have you forgotten... Lu Shanshan's uncle is our department head!"

"Cough-cough-"

Qin Hao had just picked up the water glass on the table and taken a sip when he heard this, he almost spat it out.

How could I forget this? Lu Shanshan's uncle, Zhang Changshan, is the head of the painting department at the Academy of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University. I've always disliked him.

Although he didn't care about a graduation certificate, the problem was that the original owner had caused far too much trouble in the past two years.

Fighting, street racing, arguing with professors in class... he had accumulated more than a dozen disciplinary actions, both big and small. Anyone else would have been expelled long ago, but his parents had reached their limit and gave him an ultimatum: if he couldn't graduate smoothly, he would obediently go home and inherit the family business.

Having been given the script of a rich second-generation heir, Qin Hao had no intention of struggling to start a business again. Besides, how would he know their limits if he didn't push his parents a little?

Therefore, he must get his hands on this graduation certificate.

"Boss, why don't you run? I'll hold her off from the back door!" Lu Yan said with a look of grim determination.

Qin Hao's lips twitched: "Run? When have I ever run?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a clear, angry roar came from outside the classroom—

"Qin Hao! Get out here right now!"

The entire classroom fell silent instantly, and all the students' eyes turned to the door.

A beautiful figure stood at the classroom door, hands on her hips. She wore a white knitted sweater with a black long skirt, and her shoulder-length hair was slightly curled, shimmering softly in the sunlight. Her cheeks were slightly flushed with anger, and her large, amber-like eyes were filled with fury as she stared intently at Qin Hao inside the classroom.

It must be said, she was indeed beautiful. Her delicate features were flawless, her skin was as white as fine porcelain, and the elegance she had cultivated through years of dance practice made her stand out in a crowd. Although she was currently in a accusing mood, her angry expression only added to her vibrant beauty.

The students in the classroom put down their paintbrushes and tools, their eyes scanning back and forth between Qin Hao and Lu Shanshan, their faces filled with expressions of enjoying the spectacle.

Da da da—

Lu Shanshan strode quickly to Qin Hao in her high heels, each step filled with anger. She stopped in front of him, tilting her head back and glaring at him: "Tell me, why should I break up with you?"

Looking at the pretty face in front of him, Qin Hao couldn't help but sigh. The original owner of this body was such a waste, dumping such a beautiful girl so easily. It was a terrible waste.

He cleared his throat and asked tentatively, "Uh... is it too late for me to take back what I said yesterday?"

The students watching the commotion immediately booed.

Lu Shanshan became even angrier upon hearing this, and her eyes instantly reddened: "Are you playing me?"

"Alright, then I won't take it back." Qin Hao shrugged.

Lu Shanshan bit her lip, her voice trembling slightly: "Tell me, what's wrong with me? Why did you break up with me? If you don't give me a straight answer today, I'm not done with you!"

For a moment, the entire classroom fell silent, and all the students turned their attention to Qin Hao.

The main reason is that Lu Shanshan is simply too beautiful. Standing at 1.72 meters tall, her proportions are practically perfect due to years of dance training—curvy, with a slender waist that could be encircled with a single hand. Add to that her delicate face and outstanding charisma, and she's on par with many Hong Kong and Taiwanese stars.

"Uh, it's not that you're not good enough, it's just that my standards are a bit high." Qin Hao scratched his head, his brain racing, trying to figure out how to get out of the predicament.

"What are your requirements? Tell me!" Lu Shanshan stared intently at him.

Qin Hao paused for a moment, then blurted out, "Uh... that's right, I've fallen for a girl who's even prettier than you!"

These words immediately caused an uproar in the classroom.

"Isn't Lu Shanshan pretty enough?"

"Am I hearing things? Lu Shanshan is the most beautiful girl at Beijing Dance Academy!"

"This Qin Hao is too arrogant! He doesn't even look at a beauty like Lu Shanshan?"

"Scumbag! A total scumbag!"

The students were buzzing with discussion, their gazes towards Qin Hao filled with disdain and contempt.

Upon hearing this, Lu Shanshan's face flushed even redder, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly held them back. She gritted her teeth and said, word by word, "I don't believe you! You're lying! Unless you bring that person to me!"

The students watching chimed in, "Yeah! Bring it out and let us see!"

"that is!"

Qin Hao was speechless for a moment.

Why is this girl so stubborn? She's already said all this, can't she see that the original owner was a scumbag? Why does she have to get hung up on who he's talking about?

"Hmph, I knew you were lying to me! I don't believe anyone can be prettier than me!" Seeing that Qin Hao didn't speak, Lu Shanshan became even more certain that he was lying, and her tone was smug.

Qin Hao rubbed his temples, pondering how to end the situation, when his gaze inadvertently swept over the crowd at the back of the classroom.

Just then, he spotted a head peeking intently from behind the crowd, standing on tiptoe.

That was a girl.

She wore a loose-fitting off-white sweatshirt, light blue jeans, and white canvas shoes, looking fresh and casual. Her long, black hair was casually draped over her shoulders, with a few wisps of hair gently blowing in the breeze outside the window.

She was standing on tiptoe, craning her neck to peer inside, holding a bag of potato chips in her hand, stuffing them into her mouth as she watched the commotion, her expression just like that of the other students around her.

But even with such an unassuming outfit and posture, her stunningly beautiful face could not be hidden.

Qin Hao's eyes lit up.

"Sigh, I didn't mean to discourage you, but since you insist on humiliating yourself, I have no choice but to grant your wish."

After saying that, Qin Hao pushed through the crowd and strode towards the girl.

Before the surrounding classmates could react, he walked straight up to the girl who was eating potato chips, and then—

He put his arm around her shoulder.

"She is my new girlfriend, Huang Yimei."

The classroom fell silent instantly.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, their gazes fixed on the girl named Huang Yimei.

Huang Yimei.

This name is not unfamiliar on the Tsinghua University campus. During her freshman year, a photo of her during military training went viral in the school magazine, earning her the title of "Tsinghua Campus Belle" from countless male students. Not only was she beautiful, but she also had a cheerful and generous personality. The boys who fawned over her stretched from the Second Ring Road to Langfang, and there were at least a platoon or even a whole company of boys fighting over her.

If Qin Hao is a notorious playboy at Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts, then Huang Yimei is a recognized succubus—the kind with off-the-charts charm.

Strangely enough, these two "problem students," constantly embroiled in scandals, never had any romantic rumors circulated about them. The more they met in the department head's office, the more they developed a mutual respect, almost like "brothers in misfortune."

At this moment, Huang Yimei's facial expressions changed dramatically.

First, she was excitedly watching the drama unfold, then she was bewildered when Qin Hao suddenly grabbed her, and then—after hearing what Qin Hao said—her expression turned completely terrified.

Before she could even explain, she heard—

"Waaah—"

Lu Shanshan's tears finally welled up. She bit her lip hard, glared fiercely at Qin Hao and Huang Yimei, then stomped her foot, covered her face, and rushed out of the classroom.

The sound of high heels faded into the distance and soon disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Another commotion erupted in the classroom.

"Holy crap! Qin Hao and Huang Yimei are together?"

"The two of them? When did this happen?"

"No wonder I've never heard any rumors about them, turns out they've been secretly having an affair!"

"It's all over, my goddess has been stolen away by that scumbag Qin Hao!"

Qin Hao ignored the surrounding whispers, because he could clearly feel the body he was holding trembling slightly. It wasn't shyness or excitement, but rather—

anger.

"Qin! Hao!"

Huang Yimei grabbed his collar, her beautiful eyes practically spitting fire, and spat out a few words through gritted teeth: "What nonsense are you spouting? Who's your girlfriend?"

Qin Hao maintained his smile and lowered his voice, saying, "We're classmates, and I'm helping you out in an emergency. You can't be so ungrateful, can you?"

"Save you my foot!" Huang Yimei gritted her teeth. "Is this what loyalty is all about? You've ruined my reputation!"

"Come on," Qin Hao said, scoffing and lowering his voice, "We're even evenly matched. What makes you think you have such a great reputation?"

Huang Yimei was speechless for a moment.

These words really hit a nerve.

Her face certainly brought her a lot of attention, but also a lot of trouble. From elementary school onwards, she was constantly pursued by boys, with all sorts of tactics employed, from sending love letters and waiting at the school gate to confessing their feelings in public. This only intensified in college; there were at least a dozen fights fought over her during those four years.

Because of these trivial matters, she was talked to by her counselor and criticized in the department head's office just as many times as Qin Hao.

So when Qin Hao said "they're evenly matched," she really couldn't refute it.

"Then, you can't use me as a shield!" Huang Yimei's momentum weakened slightly, but she still didn't loosen her grip.

Qin Hao clicked his tongue, his eyes darting around: "How about this, I'll block one for you too, then we're even, okay?"

"Dream on!" Huang Yimei raised an eyebrow, a sly smile playing on her lips. "At least twice! No, three times!"

"Alright, deal!" Qin Hao nodded readily. "But let me make it clear beforehand, I'm an artist, not a prostitute."

"Get out!" Huang Yimei finally let go of her hand, clapping her hands in disgust: "Who wants your body? I find it dirty."

As she spoke, she leaned close to Qin Hao's ear and whispered, "Bring your sports car over after school this afternoon and take me home."

Upon hearing this, Qin Hao immediately became interested: "Oh? Who forced you into this situation, requiring me to use props to dissuade you?"

"It's all because of Liu Yang from the Foreign Languages ​​Department!" Huang Yimei sighed. "He drives his beat-up Nissan to my building every day to show off, which makes my mom give me a good scolding!"

"Okay." Qin Hao winked at Huang Yimei: "See you at the entrance of the teaching building after school this afternoon."

"It's a deal!" Huang Yimei gritted her teeth and said, "If you dare to play me, you're dead!"

"Don't worry, when have I ever gone back on my word?"

Huang Yimei thought about it and realized it was true. Although Qin Hao was usually unreliable, he never broke his promises.

The intimate act of the two whispering to each other was seen by the onlookers as irrefutable proof of their "relationship".

"Do you think they're really together?"

"Of course it's true! Didn't you see how Qin Hao was holding Huang Yimei just now? Huang Yimei didn't even resist!"

"Yeah, if she really didn't want to, she probably would have kicked him already."

"Tsk tsk, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, they are quite a good match."

"Bullshit!" someone retorted indignantly. "Huang Yimei is excellent in both character and academics and always willing to help others, while Qin Hao is just an incompetent spoiled brat. How are they a good match?"

"That's true... but Qin Hao is handsome and rich, that's for sure."

"In any case, we witnessed a wonderful story in our final year of college."

"By the way, have you ever thought about this—why didn't they get together after all these years, but now that they're about to graduate, they've suddenly gotten together?"

As soon as the question was raised, several classmates around him fell into deep thought.

"Perhaps... they've had their fill of it all?" someone tentatively speculated. "After seeing so many, they finally realized that only that other person is worthy of them?"

"That makes sense! Look at those two, one's a playboy, the other's the class beauty and a succubus. They've met countless women, but in the end, they realized they were kindred spirits, so they got together!"

"Yes, yes, yes, that's called 'the prodigal son returns' and 'the fairy returns to shore'!"

"Brilliant!"

The surrounding chatter grew louder and louder, but Qin Hao and Huang Yimei ignored it.

They've become the talk of the town among their classmates. Gossip about them has been constant since their freshman year.

For the next few classes, Qin Hao, unusually, didn't sleep. He flipped through the original owner's textbooks while mentally organizing the memories of this world.

2001 years.

This timing is quite interesting. The internet wave had just begun, the real estate industry was developing rapidly, and China's negotiations to join the WTO had entered their final stages... Opportunities were everywhere, and gold was plentiful.

If he were an ambitious time traveler, he could have used his past life's experience and the opportunities of this era to build a business empire.

but--

Qin Hao leaned back lazily in his chair, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, a satisfied smile on his lips.

All he wants to do in this life is lie flat.

Anyway, his family has plenty of money, enough for him to squander for several lifetimes. Why should he work as hard as he did in his previous life? Wouldn't it be better to just enjoy life?

However, he still needs to get his graduation certificate. Otherwise, he won't be able to explain it to his parents, and if he's really called back to inherit the family business, that would be too much of a burden.

Thinking of this, Qin Hao couldn't help but sigh.

My ultimate goal in this life is to graduate smoothly and then live a carefree life as a freeloader who lives off his parents!

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was afternoon and school was over.

Qin Hao strolled leisurely out of the teaching building. From afar, he saw Huang Yimei already waiting at the entrance, with several boys standing beside her trying to strike up a conversation.

"You're quite punctual." Huang Yimei smiled with satisfaction as she saw him approaching.

"Of course, how could I go back on my word to a beautiful woman?" Qin Hao said, taking out his car keys from his pocket and pressing a button.

Not far away, a red Porsche 986 turned on its hazard lights.

The car gleamed brilliantly in the setting sun, with its sleek body lines, low chassis, and iconic frog-eye headlights... In 2001, it was incredibly eye-catching.

"Let's go." Qin Hao opened the passenger door and gestured for Huang Yimei to proceed.

Huang Yimei didn't stand on ceremony and bent down to sit inside.

As she got into the car, the students passing by all turned their attention to her.

"Holy crap, isn't that Qin Hao's Porsche?"

"The passenger in the front seat is... Huang Yimei?!"

"Oh my god! They're really together?"

"It's confirmed! I didn't believe it when I heard it this morning!"

Amidst the varied gazes of his classmates, Qin Hao walked around to the driver's seat, opened the car door, and got in.

He started the engine, which emitted a deep roar, like a beast poised to pounce.

"Fasten your seatbelts," Qin Hao reminded him.

Huang Yimei did as he was told, then turned to look at him with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

"Hold on tight."

Qin Hao shifted gears and stepped on the gas.

Like a red lightning bolt, the Porsche 986 roared from its engine and shot off from its spot, disappearing into the distance at the end of the road in the blink of an eye.

"Wow—" Huang Yimei was startled by the sudden push on her back, but quickly exclaimed excitedly, "Awesome!"

Qin Hao skillfully maneuvered the steering wheel, weaving nimbly through the traffic.

"By the way, where do you live?" Qin Hao suddenly remembered to ask.

Huang Yimei gave him an address, and Qin Hao steered the Porsche 986 onto the main road. (End of Chapter)
