Chapter 111
Seeing Meng Huaiqing's chapped expression, Qin Xiang actually had some misogyny and found it interesting. He stared at Meng Huaiqing's face.
However, his usually gentle face changed for only a moment before returning to its original state. He smiled helplessly and said, "It seems that I don't have the fate to go with you this time."
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Then you will be quiet when you take the train. It's just right that I can experience the fun of taking the train alone."
Meng Huaiqing shook his head slightly, "Let's talk about it later."
Without Qin Xiang, who would be willing to take the train? It was a constant banging and the journey was really long.
He just regretted not coming to greet him earlier, and this happened.
He suddenly reached out and took out a bag and said, "Actually, I came here today mainly to give you this."
Qin Xiang raised her eyebrows, "What is this?"
"Take a look." Although Meng Huaiqing was regretful, he was still happy to meet Qin Xiang.
Qin Xiang took it suspiciously, opened it and took a look, and was immediately surprised. She took out a book, which turned out to be a fashion magazine from Hong Kong City. Looking at the others, it almost included all the fashion magazines on the market in Hong Kong City, and even some magazines that expired this year were brought in.
Meng Huaiqing saw the joy on her face, and felt happy in his heart, "It's just that the time is too short, and the collection is not comprehensive. I will look for it carefully when I go back. I think these things will be helpful for your clothing design."
Qin Xiang looked up at him with mixed feelings, "Thank you."
This is more than useful, this is something that can really broaden your horizons. Qin Xiang does have a vision ahead of this era, but that knowledge belongs to the future, but it may not be suitable for the aesthetics of people in this period. Even if she designs beautiful clothes, people of this era must be able to accept it.
Nowadays, people in the mainland like things from Hong Kong and pay attention to learning the fashion of Hong Kong people. What is more direct than studying the fashion of Hong Kong?
Qin Xiang said gratefully, "Meng Huaiqing, you have helped me a lot."
She also asked Guan Zhibin to help collect these things, but unfortunately, there were only a few books collected, and they were bought at a high price. Qin Xiang looked at a few books and felt that they were boring and a little disappointed.
These things Meng Huaiqing sent were really on point.
She looked at the man in front of her and didn't know what to say. He was really a big boss-level man, and it felt different to get along with him.
A smile also appeared on Meng Huaiqing's face. "I'm also very happy that you like it. It shows that my efforts are not in vain."
Qin Xiang said calmly, "You haven't seen it for a while. Didn't you go back to get this?"
"No, that's not the case." Meng Huaiqing shook his head. "I said that I came to the capital to investigate the market and discuss cooperation. My assistant asked people to collect these things in Gangcheng. I just selected them again after I brought them here."
Qin Xiang nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. It would be better if Meng Huaiqing collected them personally, otherwise it would be even more difficult to repay her favor. However, there are at least thirty or forty books in this bag. How many books must have jumped out of it?
Qin Xiang said seriously, "Thank you, Meng Huaiqing."
No matter what happened in the past, at this moment, Qin Xiang at least regarded him as a friend.
Meng Huaiqing smiled and said, "As long as you like it."
He looked at his watch, "It's getting late, you should go back and rest. We'll talk again when we have time."
Qin Xiang nodded, "Okay, you go first?"
Meng Huaiqing raised his eyebrows, "A gentleman should watch the lady go in and make sure it's safe before leaving."
Qin Xiang was helpless and looked at the crowd of people on the window. Anyway, he had already seen the whole scene, and it was useless to be hypocritical. He nodded and turned to go into the dormitory building.
When he arrived at the dormitory, several people in the dormitory started to ask, "Tell me, who is this man?"
"Such a handsome man, Qin Xiang, didn't you get him?"
Meilin crossed her arms, "He looks like a very impressive man."
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "We are just ordinary friends," and went to the bed.
Qin Xiang opened the window and saw Meng Huaiqing still standing there through the gauze. He seemed to see her and waved his hand twice. Qin Xiang responded, and then Meng Huaiqing turned and left.
At this moment, Qin Xiang suddenly felt a strange feeling in her chest.
But before this feeling could rise, she was interrupted by Bei Nannan, "Qin Xiang, do you dare to say that he is not your partner?"
Qin Xiang turned to look at her, "Is there no other relationship between men and women except the partner?"
From the situation just now, she should know how many rumors there will be after tonight.
Qin Xiang took out a magazine from her bag and said, "I'll show you something good."
As soon as the magazines came out, everyone gathered around in surprise, "What is this?"
"Oh, a magazine."
"It's in Cantonese."
Several girls were busy flipping through the magazines.
Guan Yuping also came down and picked up a magazine, and was shocked, "Is this what your friend gave you just now?"
Qin Xiang nodded and didn't mention that Meng Huaiqing was a businessman in Hong Kong. Once she knew about it, Bei Nannan would think that she was dating a rich man.
"His friends helped find it." Qin Xiang glanced at Bei Nannan and said, "I originally planned to read these things by myself. But we live in the same dormitory and are good friends, so I took them out to share with you, but no one is allowed to take them out of the dormitory."
The others nodded, "Okay, we promise not to take them out."
Bei Nannan was puzzled, "Why?"
Qin Xiang explained, "These magazines are all from Hong Kong City, and there is no guarantee that other people will find them We are considered to be worshipping foreign things, so in order to avoid trouble, no one is allowed to mention these magazines outside, and we are not allowed to take them out. Only when I am in the dormitory can I borrow them, okay? "
Mei Lin nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, that's great."
Some of them studied fashion design without knowing what major to choose, and some were transferred here. There are still few students who really love this major like Qin Xiang and have a basic foundation.
Ding Xiang and her friends grew up in the countryside. The first time they went away was to go to college. They had limited experience, not to mention their vision, and they couldn't improve in a short time. Without a good way, it is not easy to improve.
Qin Xiang's information is the fashion information of Hong Kong City. The clothes worn by those movie stars are largely popular fashion. Several people felt like they had found a treasure and started reading one copy each.
In fact, Qin Xiang was not worried about other people, and none of them were talkative people, but she was worried about Bei Nannan. "Bei Nannan, I tell you solemnly, if you dare to publicize this, I will definitely not let you off."
Her expression was very serious, and her eyes were also fierce, which made Bei Nannan's heart skip a beat. She nodded repeatedly, "I know what's good and what's bad."
Bei Nannan was more knowledgeable after all. It was her relatives who helped her fill out the application for this major, and told her that this major would have a bright future. But she doesn't know how to design. Although she is a little reckless and has a big mouth, she is not completely ignorant and ungrateful. She knows the importance of these things.
It's just that Qin Xiang doesn't want to cause discussion and trouble from others. Bei Nannan's idea is that good things must be kept to herself. What if more people see them and surpass her?
Bei Nannan raised her hand and swore, "I'm sure I won't tell anyone."
Qin Xiang still refused to let her go, "I know you have a good relationship with Fu Yunmei, and she will talk to you. I hope you can control your mouth in front of her. As long as we look and study honestly, we will have these materials in the future. Once people know about it, as long as you tell others, I will never bring these things to school again, and then you won't be able to see them even if you want to."
Bei Nannan nodded repeatedly.
Qin Xiang glanced at the other people in the dormitory and continued, "The major of fashion design requires a lot of cutting-edge fashion knowledge. Once we fall behind, no one may like the clothes we design. Hong Kong stars represent fashion. The reason why clothing factories in Guangzhou are so prosperous is because they learn the fashion in Hong Kong. If we can have the best fashion information, when we start designing, won’t it be much easier?"
Several people nodded in thought.
Qin Xiang smiled, reached out and touched Bei Nannan's head, her voice softened rarely, "Nannan, I'm not targeting you, it's just that you are young and don't think much, so I have to remind you more. I heard from you that classmate Fu Yunmei has very strong learning ability and is very good. She is also very beautiful. Once she gets these materials, the design homework will be easy for her. You won't be able to hold your head up in front of her by then, and you don't want to be inferior to others, right?"
"Of course." Bei Nannan took the college entrance examination in Jinshi. Although she was admitted to Tsinghua University, she was admitted by the slim margin. There are too many academic masters in the school, so she is really not conspicuous.
Qin Xiang is satisfied with her reaction, "Okay, everyone read it, and then change with me for other ones after reading it."
There are many magazines, and Qin Xiang didn't dare to put them directly on the table. She locked them in the cabinet directly. She thought that as long as Bei Nannan was not stupid, she would not tell anyone.
Qin Xiang is not the Virgin Mary, and cannot love everyone in the entire profession. She can only share with people in the same dormitory to avoid trouble.
Several people sat on the bed and read the magazine for a while. Seeing Qin Xiang taking notes with a notebook, others also hurried to find paper and pen to record the key points.
Laymen see the excitement, while experts see the doorway. Even if they are just rookies who have been in class for less than half a month, they can't help but scrutinize the clothes worn by those celebrities. Combined with the knowledge points taught by the professor in class, it is a different scene when reading.
Seeing the lights go out, everyone returned the magazine.
Dingxiang whispered, "Qin Xiang, thank you."
Qin Xiang didn't say anything, but everyone knew that she was not asleep. Dingxiang's thank you was also what they wanted to say.
Dingxiang whispered, "Coming to the capital to attend college was the only time I traveled far away. Our village didn't even have a TV. Only the secretary's house would occasionally have newspapers and a radio to listen to the radio. I only scored 56 points in politics in the college entrance examination. Before the start of the school year, my high school teacher told me that the world outside is big, and I shouldn't limit my eyes to a small county or province. Only by studying more can I become capable. No matter what the reason is for me to choose this major, I have to love it and work hard for it."
No one else said anything, and listened to Dingxiang quietly.
After a pause, Dingxiang smiled. "I was so nervous when school started. I didn't even understand why the major of fashion design existed. Don't the clothes all look the same? Don't they all feel the same when worn? But slowly, as I looked at the clothes Qin Xiang changed, I suddenly felt that they were really different. But I started to feel confused again. I don't know anything. Can I learn this major well? Can I be worthy of all my efforts over the years? Can I be worthy of the score I got in the college entrance examination? Until now, I don't know the answer, but Qin Xiang, you seem to have given me a shortcut and a chance to see the world." After
she finished speaking, Zhao Wenna and Meilin's faces were already filled with tears. They were also children from rural areas, and their experiences were very similar to Dingxiang's.
Bei Nannan was in a complicated mood. For the first time, she did not speak out of ridicule. "It is normal for everyone in the same dormitory to help each other. However, it is rare that Qin Xiang is generous in sharing and is not afraid that we will surpass her. Since she has given us the opportunity, we should study hard and not just watch the excitement and waste her kindness."
Qin Xiang laughed, "Look, our Dingxiang can also say such sensational words. If you are not good, I will not share with you even if we are in the same dormitory."
Several people laughed again.
Qin Xiang: "Okay, let's go to bed. We will have a holiday the day after tomorrow afternoon. Have fun during the holiday and study hard when you come back."
She is busy and has no time to be a caring big sister.
But Dingxiang's words still made her deeply touched. China is still too backward. There are only a few cities, and the majority of people are from rural areas. It is not easy to become a college student.
The next class was again. In addition to looking up information in class, the people in the dormitory spent the rest of their time hiding in the dormitory to study the fashion magazines of Hong Kong City. They read those magazines with the key points of knowledge taught by the professor, and they saw more than just clothes.
After the class on the morning of the 30th, their major was on vacation.
Except for a few local or surrounding students, most students chose to stay in school. Some decided to study in the school library during these days, and some decided to use these days to take a good look at the beautiful mountains and rivers of the capital. Watching the flag-raising ceremony, watching the military parade, climbing the Great Wall, and visiting the Forbidden City are extremely rare experiences.
While everyone was excitedly discussing these, Qin Xiang also returned to the dormitory to pack her luggage, and went out with her luggage bag and headed straight for the airport.
At that time, the only means of transportation besides one's own legs were trams or buses. There were few cars, many people, and the speed was slow.
But Qin Xiang had no choice but to take the bus, otherwise the plane would have left by the time she walked.
But just after leaving the south gate, she saw a familiar car parked not far away.
As if she had been paying attention to this side, the door opened, and Meng Huaiqing got out of the car and walked towards her.
Qin Xiang was a little helpless, "Meng Huaiqing, I said I was going to Guangzhou today, and I remember you said you were going back to the provincial capital today."
Meng Huaiqing came closer and smiled, "If I remember correctly, I said tomorrow, so I happen to be free today. I know you are going to the airport, so I came to take you there. Otherwise, it would be too slow to take the tram, and there are so many people."
At this time, a tram happened to arrive at the bus stop at the door. Students waiting for the tram rushed in instantly, and the already crowded carriage became even more crowded. The weather was still very hot in this season, and the feeling of getting on the train was indescribable.
Qin Xiang nodded, "Thank you very much."
Qin Xiang got on Meng Huaiqing's car, and just as the door was closed, a military jeep not far away also stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
In the car, Meng Huaiqing asked, "Do you like the magazine?"
Qin Xiang nodded, "I believe that anyone who majors in fashion design will like it. My roommate felt like he had found a treasure when he saw it. He was so excited."
Meng Huaiqing laughed, "It's good that you like it. All your efforts are not in vain."
Qin Xiang: "Thank you."
Meng Huaiqing sat in the passenger seat, keeping a safe distance from her. Hearing this, he looked at her from the rearview mirror and said, "We are friends, aren't we?"
Qin Xiang nodded and followed suit, "Thank you, friend."
This is the relationship between adult men and women. Even if they are rejected, they will not be lost to despair. Jie Zong is still too young. With that kind of mentality and endurance, Qin Xiang could not be moved by Jie Zong.
Of course, she would not say this in front of Meng Huaiqing, and Meng Huaiqing would not mention it either. No one wants to mention their love rival, because it means
they think their life is too easy. Meng Huaiqing raised his eyebrows and smiled gently, "We are friends, so it would be too polite to say thank you. It's just a small effort."
"It's just a small effort that helped us a lot."
Meng Huaiqing smiled, his face became even warmer, "In that case, shouldn't Qin Xiang treat me to a meal to thank me?"
Qin Xiang agreed, "Sure, but I have to wait until my vacation is over."
Meng Huaiqing nodded, "I miss your cooking skills very much. I don't know why, but that time I had such a severe stomachache that I couldn't eat anything, but the only thing I could eat was the food you cooked."
There are many meanings here, Qin Xiang pretended not to hear it, and said "Maybe you eat too much food outside. Food outside is heavy in oil and salt, which is really bad for your stomach."
Meng Huaiqing suddenly realized, "So that's it."
Qin Xiang said slowly, "With a family like yours, there must be a nanny at home. Since you have a bad stomach, I suggest you bring a nanny with you wherever you go. This way, she can take care of your daily life and diet, so that you don't have stomachache again."
Meng Huaiqing looked at her in the mirror and smiled, "That's a way."
But he wouldn't adopt it.
How can I find a reason to get close to Qin Xiang when I have everything I need?
The two were silent for a while. The driver Miao Sheng took the opportunity to glance at the boss beside him when there was a traffic jam ahead. Meng Huaiqing rolled his eyes at him. Miao Sheng laughed and said, "How many days will Miss Qin stay in Yangcheng this time? It seems that we met in Yangcheng last time. Our boss also knows a few people. Friends of friends are friends. Don't hesitate to help us. We can help introduce them."
After speaking, Miao Sheng glanced at Meng Huaiqing again and received a look of praise from Meng Huaiqing.
Encouraged, Miao Sheng was like a chicken with blood, and felt that his deducted bonus might have a hope of returning.
But Qin Xiang shook her head, "No, I've already made an appointment with a friend, he has some connections there, I can just get the goods from him then."
Meng Huaiqing frowned, "That's one more step, the profits will be divided. It's better to get the goods from the factory myself."
Qin Xiang understood this principle very well. She thought that Meng Huaiqing was involved in the technology industry and might not understand the clothing industry, so she explained, "There are too many styles and types of clothing, and a clothing factory can only produce so many types and styles, not enough to support my needs. Although I have an extra middleman here, he can collect all the popular and good-looking clothes on the market in Yangcheng and ship them directly to the capital for me. Although I lose some profits, it does save a lot of trouble. "
Meng Huaiqing nodded, "Then you should at least understand the factory price of most products and control this part of the expenditure reasonably."
Qin Xiang nodded, "Yes, the main thing to discuss this time is the price. The quantity I want later will be different from the previous retail, so we must negotiate the price. I can't just do whatever he says."
"You make sense." Meng Huaiqing said again, "But if you need help, don't hesitate. It's common for friends to introduce business partners to each other. I have some face with the leaders of the industrial park over there. You need to do the specific work yourself, but you can also need the necessary backers."
Qin Xiang laughed, "Speaking of which, you helped me when I met you in Yangcheng that time. At that time, the sales manager of that factory knew you and gave me a lower price directly."
Meng Huaiqing was stunned, and a smile appeared on his face, "Then you have to treat me twice."
Qin Xiang nodded, "Sure."
There were not many vehicles on the road at this time, and the road leading to the airport was paved with asphalt, so it ran very fast, and the car soon arrived at the airport.
When the car stopped, Meng Huaiqing was still regretting, "It's a pity that I can't go with you."
Qin Xiang said politely, "There will always be a chance."
Meng Huaiqing opened the door like a gentleman, and waited for Qin Xiang to get out of the car before smiling, "Shall I take you in?"
Qin Xiang waved her hand, "No, I can go by myself. Thank you so much for today."
She looked up and was about to turn around, when she saw a tall figure walking in without looking around.
Qin Xiang raised her eyebrows, a very familiar person.
Meng Huaiqing noticed her expression, and glanced at the national defense green, and said calmly, "Did you see someone you know?"
Qin Xiang was not sure, "I don't know if it is, I'll go in first, and I'll treat you to dinner when I come back."
"Okay." Meng Huaiqing watched her go in, but his brows knitted.
The man who just wore the national defense green was obviously not Jie Zong. In fact, Jie Zong was not a threat to him. Although Jie Zong was young and excellent, he was immature. Qin Xiang might not like Jie Zong.
But others.
Meng Huaiqing had a headache.
Qin Xiang was too excellent, and there were too many excellent men in the city besides him. Who knew if someone else would like her?
For some reason, Meng Huaiqing suddenly became more alert at this moment.
