Qin Xiang was once envied for her seemingly perfect life, only to face double betrayal in the end.
Reborn into the 1980s, she has only one goal: making money.
In an era where opportunit...
Chapter 66
Although she had taken the college entrance examination in her previous life, Qin Xiang was a little excited now.
It was impossible to be nervous.
For most people, taking the college entrance examination to go to college is to have a good future and change their destiny. Now that she is a boss herself, would she still worry about not having a job?
As long as she performs normally, even if she doesn't perform to her full potential, there will be no problem going to college, it's just a matter of whether the college is good or bad, Qin Xiang doesn't care much about this. For her, it would be best to get into a good university, but it doesn't matter if she doesn't get in, as long as she gets a certificate to become a college student boss.
As for the rest, it's up to fate.
It's just that July and August are the hottest times of the year. Although the guesthouse is near the school, Qin Xiang is still wearing a sun hat and sweats all over when she walks past.
But Qin Xiang's outfit was particularly eye-catching in the gray crowd. She wore a bright red dress, a sun hat, and her hair was tied into a big ponytail, looking young and energetic. She
attracted a lot of attention just by standing there.
Qin Xiang fanned herself with a notebook and looked at her watch. The door would open in a few minutes. Fortunately, it was okay.
Suddenly someone exclaimed, "What a luxurious car."
Qin Xiang looked and saw a familiar Mercedes-Benz approaching from afar, and then slowly passed through the crowd and went away.
Isn't this the car of the nephew of Master Ge?
Is the big boss from Gangcheng coming to Linshi? Will the big boss come to such a small place? I haven't heard of it in my previous life.
At this time, the school gate opened. Qin Xiang didn't care about what he thought and followed the crowd into the school.
In the car, Meng Huaiqing also retracted his gaze and fell on the book in his hand.
The driver Miao Sheng in front made small talk, "It seems that today is the college entrance examination in the mainland."
Meng Huaiqing was stunned but didn't say anything.
He couldn't have seen it wrong just now. The girl in the red skirt was the boss who rented their storefront. He didn't expect that she would come to take the college entrance examination.
Miao Sheng was used to talking to Meng Huaiqing and ignored him, so he didn't say anything after saying this.
As a result, Meng Huaiqing suddenly said again, "Is the college entrance examination difficult here?"
Miao Sheng exclaimed, "I heard it is quite difficult. After all, the population in the mainland is too large. After graduation, college students here are assigned jobs by the state, which is very attractive to students."
Meng Huaiqing hummed and lowered his head again.
The state assigns jobs, but isn't that girl already a boss?
Miao Sheng didn't understand why Meng Huaiqing asked that, but as a qualified driver, he had to learn to be dumb, deaf, and stupid when necessary, so he had better drive honestly.
They came here this time to investigate local sites in Lu Province for investment and factory construction, and they were busy with work.
At this moment in the college entrance examination room, the invigilator had already begun to distribute the test papers. Qin Xiang saw that a boy in front of him was rubbing his hands nervously.
This is normal. Although the college entrance examination is held once a year, the admission rate has always been low. Everyone wants to jump out of the dragon gate and reach the sky in one step, but not everyone is so lucky.
In comparison, to be able to sit in the examination room of the college entrance examination, you must have great strength and luck.
How many people have been screened out during the pre-examination and do not even have the qualifications to take the college entrance examination.
For example, there are nearly 300 senior high school students in Qingshui County No. 1 Middle School, but only more than 120 of them passed the pre-examination, accounting for less than 40%.
Even among these more than 120 people, the number who can be admitted to colleges and universities is limited. And if this number is placed in Linshi or the provincial capital, the college entrance examination admission rate will be higher.
To put it bluntly, it is still the inequality of educational resources. The education received since childhood is also different. Unless you have a very good brain, it is very difficult to surpass the students in the provincial capital.
This is also the reason why the No. 1 Middle School in the city wants to poach Qin Xiang, because she has surpassed many people, progressed quickly, and entered the top 20 in the province. Maybe she will be lucky enough to get the top scorer in science in the college entrance examination?
Then the resources of Linshi No. 1 Middle School will be able to soar to the sky.
As for whether she is a genius?
Qin Xiang couldn't help laughing. She is definitely not a genius.
It was only because of the knowledge accumulated in her previous life and her hard work in the past six months that she achieved her current results.
Shaking her head, Qin Xiang took the test paper, glanced through it from beginning to end, and then began to fill in her name and answer questions.
The first test was Chinese, which was considered Qin Xiang's strong subject.
Especially when it came to writing essays, she had lived two lives and had a lot of experience, so the content of her essays was richer and more profound.
But the number of questions was not small, and after Qin Xiang finished and checked them again, it was time to collect the papers.
The college entrance examination had one exam in the morning and one in the afternoon, and it took three and a half days. The political exam in the afternoon was over at a little after four o'clock, but today's exam was over.
Qin Xiang had nothing to do, so she went over to chat with Ning Sumei for a while.
At this time, Ning Sumei did not mention the exam at all, but asked Qin Xiang to go out
for a walk to relax. But Qin Xiang really didn't like to go out on a hot day, so she was going to go back to rest after dinner with Ning Sumei.
Ning Sumei thought for a while and said, "How about I take you home?"
Qin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Teacher Ning, it's only a few steps, it's okay, don't worry."
Ning Sumei thought, how could she not worry, whether their county No. 1 Middle School would be valued in the future depends on how Qin Xiang can perform in this exam.
Of course, she would not say it out loud to add pressure to Qin Xiang, and seeing that she really didn't need it, she nodded helplessly, "Be careful on the road."
Qin Xiang went all the way back to the guesthouse, and when she was at the door, she unexpectedly saw a Mercedes-Benz parked at the door of the newly built hotel opposite.
The Mercedes-Benz was still the familiar Mercedes-Benz, and a familiar handsome figure came out of the car.
Qin Xiang couldn't help but whistled.
Qin Xiang realized what she had done and tried to run away, but the person on the other side heard her and turned to look at her.
Qin Xiang hadn't been so embarrassed for a long time, so embarrassed that she could dig out three acres of land.
But Qin Xiang had lived for so long after all, so she smiled politely at the other person.
As long as I'm not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
It's just a whistle, who can prove that it was her who blew it?
Meng Huaiqing nodded politely at her, and then Qin Xiang hurried into the guesthouse.
Everyone likes handsome men. Even if Qin Xiang has no plans to remarry in the future, it doesn't stop her from looking at handsome guys.
Of course, she won't refuse to fall in love if there is a suitable candidate.
But falling in love is fine, but marriage is out of the question.
It's just that now...
she is busy, and handsome guys have nothing to do with her. It's enough to just look at them for fun.
As for Meng Huaiqing, it is actually certain that the person who whistled was Qin Xiang.
This kind of whistle is very common in Gangcheng. But most of the people who whistle are street hooligans, who whistle at a pretty girl when they see her.
So is he considered being teased?
"Boss, it's time to go in. The leaders of the municipal government are waiting."
Cen Xuan lowered his eyes slightly and reminded in a low voice.
Meng Huaiqing retracted his gaze, responded and strode inside.
"Hey." Miao Sheng leaned forward and called Cen Xuan, "Assistant Cen, it was the female boss who whistled at the boss just now, right?"
Cen Xuan glared at him warningly and said, "Watch your mouth."
Looking at Cen Xuan's back as he chased after him, Miao Sheng couldn't help but curl his lips, "Really? So what? The boss is really handsome. The female boss is also very beautiful."
The three and a half days of examination time passed in a flash.
Before Qin Xiang could come to her senses, the college entrance examination ended.
Recalling the situation of the college entrance examination in her last life, Qin Xiang had long forgotten it completely, but looking back at the experience of the past few days, Qin Xiang felt that she would probably never forget it in her life.
The college entrance examination in the hot summer was very painful, and the candidates were restless.
The next day, when taking the math test, Qin Xiang heard many people crying on campus because the questions were too difficult. When the physics test was over, there were even more people crying.
The questions were difficult and many people didn't know how to answer them. A difference of one point could determine the fate of one's life.
Especially for candidates from the county, many of them came from rural areas, but because of limited conditions, they were not like students in the city whose families had some conditions to find connections and get information to improve their grades.
At that time, there was very little information about the college entrance examination, and many of them relied on their own school teachers to set questions. No one knew what the college entrance examination would test.
The college entrance examination, how many people hoped to pass it and change their fate.
Qin Xiang had no other way but to comfort herself.
Fortunately, the exam is over now, and the next step is to estimate the score and fill in the application form. Then Qin Xiang will have to go back to Qingshui County.
Now, Qin Xiang wanted to go home quickly to take a shower and have a good sleep.
It was just after eleven o'clock that day when she finished her English test. Qin Xiang said goodbye to Ning Sumei and prepared to go back to the provincial capital.
Before leaving, Ning Sumei instructed, "Remember to go to the school the day after tomorrow to estimate your scores and fill out your application forms. Don't forget."
Ning Sumei had just finished speaking when several candidates came over. They looked at Qin Xiang with gratitude. Before Ning Sumei could ask, several students bowed to Qin Xiang and said, "Thank you, classmate Qin Xiang."
Qin Xiang was stunned. The leading girl said with red eyes, "This year's questions were very difficult. Many people said that English was also difficult, but because we had the information you gave us, we were able to answer them all. And the information you brought back before also helped us a lot. Thank you."
The others also nodded and talked about this.
"Please accept our thanks."
Qin Xiang had a complicated expression. "It's all a piece of cake. You're welcome."
What she didn't say was that she was willing to share the information because of Ning Sumei and Principal Cao. If it weren't for them, she probably wouldn't care about how others did in the exam.
Everyone has their own life. She doesn't even know these classmates. Is it necessary for her to do her best for them?
She thought so, but these students benefited from it. They thanked her sincerely before leaving.
After that, several more groups came to thank Qin Xiang, and the students from other schools in the guesthouse were stunned.
Wang Xiao hid behind the crowd, looking at Qin Xiang, and his mood became even more complicated.
She hated Qin Xiang and was jealous of her, so much so that she didn't even look at the materials Qin Xiang brought back.
But she heard that some of the questions were similar.
Wang Xiao panicked and even regretted it.
But no one paid attention to her panic and surrounded Qin Xiang to say good things, which made Wang Xiao very ashamed.
Teacher Ning looked at these students and was very pleased, "Okay, it's getting late, Qin Xiang has to go back to the city, so let's do it, if you have anything to say, you can talk about it when you estimate your scores and fill in your application." In
this way, Qin Xiang was able to get away.
After saying goodbye to Ning Sumei, Qin Xiang went straight to the bus station to prepare to take a bus back to the provincial capital. After
the exam, many students collapsed. Even if Ning Sumei wanted to talk to Qin Xiang about the exam, she couldn't, because she had a lot of things to do.
Qin Xiang ran straight to the bus station under the hot sun at noon, and halfway through the journey, she heard the sound of a car whistle behind her. Qin Xiang looked at the place where she was walking, which was close enough to the inside. She reluctantly dodged to the side, but the car was still honking.
After a while, a car stopped beside her. "Miss Qin."
Qin Xiang looked up and said in surprise, "Mr. Meng."
She almost blurted out Meng Shuaige.
Meng Huaiqing hummed, and Qin Xiang blinked, not understanding what this man was going to do. She looked at the time and saw that it was almost time to leave, so she said, "Sorry, I'm in a hurry and I'll take my leave first." "
Miss Qin, are you going back to the provincial capital?" Meng Huaiqing's voice was mellow and low, and with his perfect facial features and calm demeanor, the style of a gentleman was obvious at a glance. "I'm just going the same way, maybe I can give Miss Qin a ride."
Hitchhiking.
Qin Xiang hesitated for a moment and agreed.
She would be stupid to take a bus instead of a ride.
She glanced at the back seat and the front passenger seat, and opened the front passenger door very happily.
"Thank you."
"Yes."
This was the only thing Qin Xiang said to Meng Huaiqing along the way.
It was very quiet in the car. The driver Miao Sheng was a chatterbox, but unfortunately the boss and the assistant were not talkative. So they took the initiative to greet Qin Xiang, "Ms. Qin, are you taking the college entrance examination? We saw you a few days ago. You are amazing. You opened your own shop and became the boss, but you still take the college entrance examination. I heard that the college entrance examination in the mainland is very difficult."
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "It's okay."
Miao Sheng said again, "I heard that you have to estimate the scores and apply for a school? Which school does Miss Qin plan to apply for?"
Qin Xiang raised her eyebrows. The young man was familiar with the college entrance examination here. She replied, "I will estimate the scores in two days, but I haven't decided which school to apply for yet."
She thought she did well in the college entrance examination this time. She felt that if she applied for the provincial Daning Teachers College, she would be heartbroken. So now she is hesitating whether to apply for the design major at Tsinghua University in the capital, or stay in the provincial capital to attend the provincial university, or go to the university in the next city.
She has to figure it out in the next two days.
Miao Sheng: "Miss Qin must be a good student."
Qin Xiang, "Not bad."
Miao Sheng laughed, "I heard that Tsinghua University is the best university in the mainland. Miss Qin, do you want to apply to that university? Our boss just donated a library to Tsinghua University..."
"Miao Sheng." The man in the back seat finally couldn't stand his driver talking endlessly. His voice was not loud, but it was intimidating. After just one shout, Miao Sheng shut up obediently.
He glanced at Qin Xiang, zipped up her mouth, and drove obediently.
Seeing this, Qin Xiang stopped talking and looked at the scenery outside the window.
The bus stopped on the road and had to go to the bathroom in the middle, so it seemed slow. Private cars are actually faster when they are speeding along the road.
It was already past two in the afternoon when they returned to the provincial capital. Meng Huaiqing's car stopped directly in front of the "Xiang Ai" store.
Qin Xiang got out of the car and thanked him politely, "Thank you for today, Mr. Meng. I'll treat you to dinner another day."
She had to say polite words, and she stood up straight waiting for the other party to drive away.
However, Meng Huaiqing nodded, then got out of the car, "I'm going to see my uncle."
"See you later." Qin Xiang greeted Miao Sheng again, and then went into the store.
As soon as Qin Xiang entered, He Liping saw her, "Sister Xiangxiang, you're back."
"I'm back." Qin Xiang was exhausted and went upstairs without saying anything else. He Liping followed her, "Sister Xiangxiang, lie down for a while, I'll cook for you."
He Liping was very diligent. Because she was still living here temporarily, she almost prepared three meals a day. She ran to the kitchen to make dumplings, "I know you're back today. I made them when I had nothing to do in the morning. Eat some before you go to sleep."
Qin Xiang didn't hesitate and ate a large plate of dumplings. Only then did she feel alive.
But it was hot.
Qin Xiang thought about it and said to He Liping, "When Mi Hongjun comes back, ask him to find a way to buy an electric fan."
Forget about the air conditioner for now, there is no air conditioner in China for a while, but how could she forget the electric fan before? It was really wrong.
After eating and drinking, He Liping brought another watermelon and cut a piece for her, "Go to sleep after eating."
Qin Xiang's stomach was full, and she shook her head, "Wake up and talk about it."
This time she slept until dark, and it was almost time for dinner. When she went downstairs, she saw that there were still many people in the store, and several girls were very busy.
Mi Hongjun came in holding a big box, "Sister Xiangxiang, the fans have been bought."
Qin Xiang was delighted, "Hurry up and install them."
She looked up at the roof of the store, and said, "Let's get another one tomorrow and install it in the store. We also have to install one in the university town."
It doesn't matter if we can't use it for the time being, we have to have it anyway.
This way, when guests come, they can still enjoy the fan, and they don't have to worry about getting their clothes dirty due to sweating.
Mi Hongjun agreed to everything Qin Xiang said, and now he was busy installing the electric fan.
The electric fans at that time were the old-fashioned ones that were hung on the top of the head. They could blow over a larger area, and although they didn't look very good, they were cool. While
they were busy, He Liping ran up, "Sister Xiangxiang, Mr. Ge next door wants to see you for something."
Something to do with her?
Qin Xiang thought about the ride she had today. Just now she saw the car parked at the door and the man hadn't left. Why did Master Ge want to see her?
Qin Xiang ran to the window and took a look. The Mercedes-Benz was still parked there. Two bodyguards were standing under the tree at the door of Master Ge's house, doing their duty.
"I'll go take a look."
Qin Xiang went downstairs and heard a laugh from next door. It seemed to be Master Ge's voice.
"Master Ge." Qin Xiang looked at the two bodyguards wearing sunglasses and didn't go forward. It would be bad if they were picked out by someone.
After she shouted, the door opened and Master Ge showed his head. "Xiao Qin, help me."
Qin Xiang glanced at the sky. Oh, Master Ge asked her for help, and it was raining red.
"You say."
