Chapter 113
Guan Zhibin didn’t dare to ask any more questions, mainly because He Chenghua’s temperament was a bit scary. He left Qin Xiang and He Chenghua alone, saying that he would talk about it tomorrow, and then he ran away.
Looking at the man who was looking at the four-star hotel, Qin Xiang was a little speechless, "Instructor He."
He Chenghua glanced at her, "I'm not your instructor, I'm your benefactor."
Qin Xiang was speechless, "Do you know that you will bring me trouble by saying that?"
"What trouble?" He Chenghua looked at Qin Xiang as if she were a fool, and said sarcastically, "A woman is powerless and doesn't even know who will attend the banquet, but she boldly follows them. Aren't you afraid that they will put something in the wine?"
Qin Xiang was stunned, "No way, Guan Zhibin is not that kind of person."
"He is not that kind of person, can he control those big factory directors?" He Chenghua said mercilessly, "Believe it or not, if I wasn't here today, those two bald guys would dare to take action directly."
"They dare!" Qin Xiang's nerves tensed up, "If they dare to attack, I dare to hit him with a bottle."
He Chenghua's face was even more sarcastic, "Stupid, do you think you can beat several men? If it really comes to that, do you think Guan Zhibin can save you? Stupid. You are still not convinced when I say you are stupid. You think you trust Guan Zhibin, why didn't he tell you in advance that he would send you to this hotel, but told you on the way. Also, aren't you a big boss? How come you can't even afford to stay in a hotel? Your big boss's partner is so confident that you can come to Guangzhou by yourself? Stupid."
Qin Xiang's head was about to explode when she heard him call her stupid. She wanted to throw these two words back at He Chenghua's head.
But she forced herself to calm down and realized that what He Chenghua said was not unreasonable.
It's already difficult for a beautiful woman to be outside. Her third brother accompanied her several times when she came to Guangzhou before, and nothing happened. This time, she was indeed careless.
Even if Guan Zhibin was a good man and trustworthy, she shouldn't be so bold to pay for such a banquet in a place where she was unfamiliar with.
Even if the wine was fine, several people took turns to persuade her to drink?
The other parties were all directors of clothing factories. Could she refuse and offend them?
Qin Xiang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
He Chenghua looked at her pale face and seemed very satisfied with her expression, "So, stupid woman, I helped you again, I said I was your benefactor, right?"
Qin Xiang had to admit that He Chenghua helped her again tonight.
At least those two bald guys knew that she had a partner with an unusual identity, so they didn't dare to have any thoughts about her. They might have to think about it when they cooperate in the future.
In the car just now, He Chenghua also confirmed the matter in order to act in front of Guan Zhibin.
Qin Xiang pursed her lips and bowed directly, "Mr. He, I apologize for my attitude just now. Thank you for what happened tonight."
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome." He Chenghua stood there nonchalantly and said, "If your rich partner came with you, maybe those two bald men would have to beg you."
Qin Xiang was speechless, "Are you talking about the man who sent me here? He is my friend and the landlord of my store in the provincial capital. I am more familiar with him. He is not my partner."
Although Meng Huaiqing expressed his feelings to her, Qin Xiang only admired Meng Huaiqing now, and there was no relationship between men and women, so the two of them were just friends.
He Chenghua looked at the lively scene like a spectator, sneering, "You don't need to explain to me, it has nothing to do with me."
He glanced at his watch, standing there with a majestic look, and said, "It's getting late. Since we're here, shouldn't you treat me to a night in a four-star hotel?"
Qin Xiang nodded, "Of course, it's my duty. I'll treat you to a meal later to express my gratitude."
"Okay, okay." He Chenghua entered the hotel, and Qin Xiang followed.
They took their ID cards and checked into two rooms, next to each other.
When He Chenghua entered the room, he fell back again, "Be more careful."
Qin Xiang nodded gloomily, "Thanks for the reminder."
If it wasn't for the fact that he helped her, she would have wanted to take off her shoes and smear him in the face.
She finally understood why Guan Yuping looked constipated and wanted to run away as far as possible when she mentioned He Chenghua. Such a man was really despicable. He was
a good person, but he had a big mouth.
Pah.
She opened the door and went into the room, turned on the light, and locked the room.
Qin Xiang sighed.
After all, it was a newly built four-star hotel. The decoration was pretty good, and all the items in the room were clean and tidy.
What's more, there was a telephone installed on the bedside table.
Qin Xiang sat down, rubbed her face, took some clean clothes and took a shower. She came back and sat on the edge of the bed and picked up the phone to call Qin Yang.
However, after the call was made, Qin Xiang quickly hung up. It was already half past nine, and the third brother was probably finishing up in the store at this time.
Qin Xiang waited until ten o'clock and called. After a while, Qin Yang came to answer the phone.
"Xiang Xiang, have you arrived in Guangzhou? Is everything okay?" Qin Yang asked without waiting for Qin Xiang to speak.
Qin Xiang could hear her third brother's concern and smiled, "That's good. I came here by plane. You can try it later."
Qin Yang sneered, "Forget it. That thing looks scary. I don't want to ride one in my lifetime. By the way, Zhao Ping is expected to arrive at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning. Before you meet him, don't act on your own. You must take him with you no matter where you go. Although he is not good at business, your fourth sister and I will feel relieved if he follows you, understand?"
Qin Xiang nodded hurriedly, "I understand. By the way, how is my fourth sister?"
"She's fine." Qin Yang was happy for his two younger sisters when he thought of them. Qin Xiang didn't say anything. The two stores in the provincial capital have been doing good business since they opened. Although the business of the store on the square has declined after the start of school, the store on the university town side has very good customer flow due to its proximity to the university town. The afterglow of Qin Xiang, the science champion, has not faded away. Many people come here to pick clothes to take away.
"Your fourth sister has Qin Zhen to help. Qin Mian followed for a few days and felt uncomfortable. She still coveted those college students. Then I sent her back. Second Aunt also went to find Teacher Ning and let her take the exam alone and enter the first year of high school. Although your fourth sister and Qin Zhen are a little busy, they can handle it. You don't have to worry about it."
Qin Xiang nodded, "The Cheng Jianjun siblings didn't bother your fourth sister again, right?"
"No, I cleaned up the mess and went to find the director of the beer factory. He said he would take care of the family, so no one bothered me anymore. But..." Qin Yang was helpless, "After this incident, no one dared to introduce a date to your sister."
Qin Xiang frowned, "Third brother, don't worry about whether my fourth sister and I find a date in the future. Don't you think all men are dogs? Are they all the same?"
After she said that, she realized that something was wrong. Her third brother was also a man. She hurriedly explained, "Third brother, I'm not talking about you. Oh, it's late. I'm so tired from the plane. I'm going to sleep first."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and then laughed again.
Everything is going in a good direction. It's really good.
After calling her third brother, Qin Xiang originally wanted to call Liu Minjun and the others to discuss the wind direction in Hangzhou, but when she saw that it was already past ten o'clock, she gave up.
Tomorrow is National Day, and the weather in the north will gradually get colder, but Guangzhou is in the south and the temperature is still a bit high.
But even so, the next orders she wants to place are for autumn and winter clothes. Autumn in the north comes suddenly, and it may only take a few days, and winter may come overnight.
So there can't be too many autumn clothes, mainly sweaters and trousers, and the largest part is still winter clothes.
Winter clothes are expensive, and they also take up space, so they have to be ordered in advance.
So when Zhao Ping comes tomorrow, he will not only come, but also bring some of the money in the store.
Because she has to save enough money to buy a shop, she actually doesn't have much money to mobilize. Finally, it was Hao Jingjing who came up with an idea. Her third brother helped her get a loan of 100,000 yuan from the bank using the house in the university town to expand her business.
Qin Xiang opened the window, drew the curtains, turned off the lights, and lay down but couldn't fall asleep.
Her mind was still replaying what happened tonight.
She had to say that she really should thank He Chenghua. It was
true that this man was mean, but he really helped her.
Qin Xiang sighed, turned over and continued to think, and finally fell asleep.
As a result, she quarreled with He Chenghua in her dream all night. When it was dawn, when she woke up according to her biological clock, Qin Xiang's head was buzzing and she felt very uncomfortable.
After looking at the time, it was only about six o'clock. Qin Xiang thought for a moment, got up to go to the bathroom, and then went back to bed to sleep.
Anyway, I had an appointment with Guan Zhibin to discuss things at noon, so I could pick up Zhao Ping at 11 o'clock and then go there.
Let's go to sleep.
I was sleeping soundly when I was woken up by the sound of knocking on the door.
Qin Xiang went to open the door and was stunned when she saw the person at the door. "Mr. He hasn't left yet?"
He Chenghua's face looked a little ugly. He looked at her clothes and said sarcastically, "I thought you had an accident, but you were still sleeping."
Qin Xiang said embarrassedly, "I didn't sleep well last night. Thank you for your worry."
Seeing her like this, He Chenghua thought that she might be frightened by his words last night, and he didn't say anything mean to her anymore. "I have official business to attend to, so I have to leave first. Be careful and don't go out by yourself when you have nothing to do."
Qin Xiang nodded, "Thank you."
He Chenghua nodded and turned to leave. When he reached the stairwell, he turned around and told her, "Remember to go back and repay me for saving your life."
Qin Xiang waved her hand, "I know."
After being quarreled like this, Qin Xiang was no longer sleepy. She changed her clothes, washed up, and looked at the time. It was only a little after nine o'clock.
After going downstairs and having breakfast, Guan Zhibin also came over. Qin Xiang was surprised, "Aren't you busy at this time?"
Guan Zhibin said embarrassedly, "My target is watching there, so I came here first."
He rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry about what happened last night."
Qin Xiang shook his head, "It's not your fault, you don't have to think too much about it."
Guan Zhibin nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, "I will contact them later. The Chinese Garment Factory is mainly responsible for contacting Qiao Guoan. Qiao Guoan doesn't have a good relationship with Director Sun, so don't worry about him."
"Thank you."
After the two of them said this, they went to the station to pick up Zhao Ping together, but it was normal for trains to be delayed in those days, and the train that Zhao Ping was riding arrived at the station an hour late.
Guan Zhibin came out and said, "There are only three of us at noon today, so don't be restrained."
Guan Zhibin was familiar with the area and didn't look for a big hotel. He just found a tea restaurant that looked quite old and went in to order food.
While waiting for the food to be served, Guan Zhibin took out a booklet and handed it to her, "This is the autumn and winter clothing styles of my cousin's factory this year. There are two main styles of tweed coats this year, and the colors are mainly black and navy blue. There are six styles of sweaters, three with lapels and three with round necks. The rest are miscellaneous styles such as warm ski jackets, and there are relatively few styles of trousers. When combined with the few styles from the Chinese Clothing Factory, it is not a small number."
He paused, "The autumn and winter styles are not as many as the summer styles, but we will be able to release one or two styles every month, which is enough to last until the Chinese New Year." Before
the New Year, it is the best sales season. Once the autumn and winter styles are over after the Chinese New Year, the peak season for clothing is over, and it will be difficult to ship them again. Therefore, large clothing factories will design spring styles before the Spring Festival. When the spring styles are still on sale on the shelves, it is time to design summer styles.
Qin Xiang studied fashion design and studied it alone in her previous life. Of course, she knew that what Guan Zhibin said was right.
The patterns above were taken by Guan Zhibin in the factory. There were more than 20 photos in total, which was already a lot.
Qin Xiang thought for a while and said, "If possible, I want to see the real thing."
Guan Zhibin nodded, "I guessed that you would go to see the goods, so I told my cousin yesterday that we can go directly there in the afternoon."
Because he knew that Qin Xiang only had five days of vacation, Guan Zhibin arranged a full schedule for these two days. He went to see the goods in the afternoon. If there was no problem, he would sign a contract, and then Qin Xiang would advance part of the payment, and wait until the goods were transported to the capital, and then remit the remaining payment.
At this time, the food ordered by Guan Zhibin came up. After breakfast, the three of them went directly to the clothing factory where Guan Zhibin's cousin worked.
Qin Xiang had heard of that clothing factory before. It was also in the industrial park where Huayu was located, but this factory was almost the largest clothing factory in Yangcheng. Qin Xiang didn't take it seriously at the time.
Moreover, this clothing factory didn't produce sportswear, so Guan Zhibin recommended Huayu.
It was familiar along the way, and you could see a thing or two through the factory's sales department.
Some small factories were on the verge of bankruptcy, and there were few people at the door. Some large factories were surrounded by individual households who wanted to place orders.
Qin Xiang and Zhao Ping followed Guan Zhibin into the clothing factory, and then went to the sales department to explain their purpose.
It was obvious that Guan Zhibin was a frequent visitor here. The people in the sales department were very polite to them and took them to the warehouse to look at the goods.
Of course, they couldn't enter the large warehouse. There was a room outside the warehouse specifically for picking up goods, and some samples of products were hung in the room.
Qin Xiang looked at them one by one according to the pictures in the catalog.
Some clothes looked beautiful on paper, but they were not so good when they were made into finished clothes.
She attached great importance to the business of this wholesale city, and no matter which style, there could be no mistakes. She
looked at the styles one by one, first looking at the style, then touching the fabric, and writing down notes in a notebook from time to time.
A shadow blocked her way. "What are you writing?"
Qin Xiang was startled and turned to look. It was Guan Zhibin's cousin, Guan Zhihong, the factory director of this clothing factory, standing beside her and curiously looking at her notebook.
Qin Xiang did not avoid it and showed it to him directly. "Nothing. Just write down which piece of clothing looks better with what kind of pants or top."
Guan Zhihong took it and looked at it. He couldn't help but sighed, "What a clever idea. This combination is a bit like Hong Kong City."
Qin Xiang said modestly, "Director Guan is too polite."
"I'm not being polite." Guan Zhihong pointed at the pants under the sweater and frowned, "These pants don't seem to be our style."
Qin Xiang nodded, "Indeed, they are not."
Guan Zhihong was surprised, "Whose are they? The style of these pants is good."
Qin Xiang said embarrassedly, "I just drew this casually. You may not know that I majored in fashion design in college. I just saw the sweater and drew it casually on a whim. I'm immature, I'm sorry to embarrass you."
After hearing this, Guan Zhihong didn't say anything. He looked at the design draft, pondered for a while, and said, "Then are you willing to sell this design draft to our factory? For your order this time, I can apply for a certain concession on the basis of the original price. What do you think? Of course, if you give this draft to us, you can't give it to other factories. "
As soon as these words came out, Qin Xiang had another idea in his mind.
