To be honest, Zhang Qian wasn't pretty at all, far less so than the pretty girls Qin Longhu had known before.

But this is the kind of girl who is resilient, optimistic, and determined to be a useful member of society.

The sentence she said most often to Qinlonghu was: "No matter how bad fate is, people should always do something. As long as there is life, there is hope."

Qinlonghu officially started training with her in February.

Considering that he couldn't come alone, whoever was free among Fatty, Benleihu, and Yuqian would pick him up and drop him off.

After a while, Qinlonghu felt guilty, but he pretended to be very impatient: "Don't you guys have anything important to do? You're wasting your time on this cripple all day."

The fat man asked him, "So what's the problem?"

After thinking for a moment, Qinlonghu said, "How about you help me rent a place in Zhang Qian's area? That way you won't have to travel back and forth every day."

Benleihu felt this was inappropriate: "Are you sure you can handle it? Where will you eat then?"

Qinlonghu was quite embarrassed: "Anyway, I've been eating at Zhang Qian's house a lot lately, so I'll eat there from now on. I'll pay for it."

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. This kid, Qinlonghu, has some savings, plus a monthly pension from the factory, which is enough for him to live on.

Previously, his sister-in-law wanted this salary, but Qin Longhu refused to give it to her no matter what. That vicious woman then tried every means to torment him.

The fat man was well aware of what Zhang Qian would face in the future.

If fate hadn't changed, she would have met the man she thought was her "soulmate" when her career was at its peak.

She would feel that she has achieved success in both her career and love life, that her husband is a very, very good man, gentle and considerate, and that her future days will definitely be filled with happiness...

Unfortunately, her child was diagnosed with congenital cataracts shortly after birth, and her worst fears came true.

Zhang Qian felt that it was all her fault, that she had passed on her cataracts to her child.

Therefore, she decided to retire and go home to take care of her children. So she submitted her retirement application to her superiors and ended her sports career.

After retiring from the military, Zhang Qian devoted herself entirely to her family. She returned to work at the rubber factory, living off her meager monthly salary; unfortunately, not long after, the rubber factory, burdened with debt, was forced to lay off workers.

Zhang Qian, who is naturally easygoing, was also on this list. Without a job, she had no income, and with a disabled child to care for, her monthly expenses were considerable.

Just then, the "soulmate" she thought she had, the gentle and considerate man, abandoned her and their child one night and secretly ran away alone...

She, a disabled person, couldn't find a job, and she and her son could only survive on a few hundred yuan in layoff subsidies and government disability subsidies.

Zhang Qian was almost defeated by this heavy blow. Being abandoned by her husband made her extremely devastated, and she even thought about suicide to end such painful days.

But the thought of her poor child made this resilient mother get up again.

In another timeline, after witnessing her story, the fat man felt indignant on Zhang Qianming's behalf.

Such a lovely and respectable girl should not suffer such injustice from fate.

This time, just as Qinlonghu got into trouble, the fat man immediately thought of her.

So the idea arose to find a way to send Qinlonghu to her side and let them gradually develop feelings for each other.

Don't let his seemingly simple-minded appearance fool you, he's quite the ladies' man.

What kind of guys do young and pretty girls like? One type is handsome, sunny, cheerful, and good at sweet-talking; the other type is bold, shameless, and daring, even willing to fight to the death to pursue a girl!

Qinlonghu belongs to the latter category, so among the five tigers of Red Star, only he and Yang Weimin were not virgins.

As for the rest, like Thunder Tiger and Smiling Tiger, let's not even mention them; the worst off was Golden Tiger, who remained a cub until his death...

Fatty didn't know if Qinlonghu was a good match, but he knew he would definitely be more responsible than Zhang Qian's future husband and would never abandon his wife and run away alone!

Besides, there's Fatty here; he won't let the tragedy happen again.

If the two of them don't spark any romance, that's fine. But if they actually get together, and if Qin Longhu dares to betray them, he'll break his other leg too. Then let's see where he can run...

Let's not even talk about the matter of capturing the dragon and tiger and Zhang Qian.

It's April, and Chen Fang's tutoring schedule is back on track. She's been suffering terribly every day lately...

During the day, I have to go to work, and at night, the fat guy forces me to study hard.

Chen Fang was furious. She protested and questioned the fat man, "What makes you so sure that the college entrance examination will be reinstated this year?"

Could this fat man tell her the truth? She could only hint at it subtly: "Don't I often cook at the big boss's house? Do you know what he's in charge of now?"

"How would I know about the big boss's affairs?"

The fat man whispered mysteriously in her ear, "Technology and education..."

"..."

In order to force Chen Fang to comply, the fat man even mobilized his entire family.

Ironically, this decision was agreed upon by Chen Gangqiang, Zhou Haiqin, Chen Rong, Chen Yan, and even Chen Fang's husband, Xing Jianshu!

Chen Fang was furious: "If you love university so much, why don't you take the exam yourself?!"

The fat man silently gave her a test: "When did universities start offering culinary programs?" His words left Chen Fang speechless.

There's something else the fat guy didn't say: We've already taken it once, and it was a key subject. We're suffering terribly from the CET-4/6 and GPA exams. Maybe we should just stop here for this semester…

He placed the test paper in front of Chen Fang: "Five questions, you have 60 minutes. These are all questions you've done before, so don't get stuck again. The college entrance exam in mathematics tests logical thinking skills, not calculation. I've taught you the problem-solving methods many times, so try to recall them carefully."

The compulsory subjects for this winter's college entrance examination are Chinese, mathematics, and politics.

The exam is divided into two categories: humanities and social sciences, and science and engineering. The humanities and social sciences exam will include history and geography; the science and engineering exam will include physics and chemistry.

After a week of assessment, Fatty discovered that Chen Fang's science grades were good.

Don't spout nonsense like, "She only has an elementary school education, yet she dares to take the college entrance exam. It's as ridiculous as a toad trying to eat swan meat."

During the period when Chen Fang was able to attend junior high and high school, what was the difference between attending school and not attending?

Moreover, compared to the difficulty of exams in later generations, the current exam questions are, in Fatty's opinion, not even as difficult as the middle school entrance exam.

The fat man suggested that Chen Fang apply to an agricultural university because they have a food science major; this major is exactly what their workplace needs, and graduates can become cadres directly.
