Chapter 121

Seeing the people Bei Nannan brought, Qin Xiang was relieved. She was really worried that she would bring teachers or something. There was no way to get these books. Although she was not afraid, it would still be bad if they were discovered.

But Bei Nannan actually called the dormitory manager and Fu Yunmei over.

This is questionable.

Before Qin Xiang could react, Guan Yuping was already angry. She stood up, slammed the book shut, and went to Bei Nannan. "Bei Nannan, what are you crazy about? Bringing outsiders to our dormitory, what do you want to do?"

Bei Nannan felt Qin Xiang's cold eyes and felt a little guilty. It was true that she was impulsive to call people. Who let them bully her so much that they didn't know to call her back. Now she knows she is afraid? It's too late.

Bei Nannan said to the dormitory manager, "Auntie, Qin Xiang has hidden banned books, all from Hongcheng."

Fu Yunmei said in a contemptuous tone, "Classmate Qin Xiang, this is your fault. Although Hongcheng is a part of China, it has not returned to China after all. It is not good to bring some things to the mainland."

Qin Xiang glanced at her, "Who are you?"

Fu Yunmei's smile froze, and then she smiled again and whispered, "We are in the same class. You are busy and don't know me. Since classmate Bei Nannan called me to come and take a look, I must say something fair, don't you think?"

Qin Xiang raised her eyebrows, "What qualifications do you have to speak fair words here when you are not upright? Are you worthy?"

"You!" Fu Yunmei's face flushed, tears instantly filled her eyes, she bit her lip in grievance, and looked at Bei Nannan, "Nannan, it seems that I can't be a witness in this matter, Qin Xiang has a deep misunderstanding of me."

She just stood there without moving, and had no intention of leaving.

Bei Nannan said to Qin Xiang with a dark face, "Don't mess around, let us search and we will know if there is anything."

Qin Xiang ignored her, but looked at Fu Yunmei, "I heard that you just made a bet, are you making another bet now, betting on whether I have something?"

Fu Yunmei shook her head gently, "You misunderstood..."

"Did I misunderstand you two?" Qin Xiang looked at the somewhat impatient dormitory manager next to her and said, "Aunt Zhao, my roommate Bei Nannan came back and told me that she lost the bet with classmate Fu Yunmei and wanted me to help her find magazines, but I couldn't help her like this, so I refused her. Unexpectedly, she called you here in a rage. It's really troublesome for you to make this trip."

Aunt Zhao said coldly, "Do you have those books?"

Bei Nannan said loudly, "She has, a lot, thirty or forty books."

She looked at Qin Xiang with some anger, which made her rampant and looked down on her. She wanted you to never read it again. It's such a simple thing to lend her a book, but she was stingy and refused.

Qin Xiang rolled her eyes at her, "If you say I have it, then I have it."

Fu Yunmei sighed, "It's actually quite simple, just open the cabinet and search it."

"You make it sound so easy," Qin Xiang said sarcastically, "I suspect you also have banned books in your cabinet, why don't we check your cabinet first, what do you think?"

Guan Yuping and others also echoed, "That's right, Fu Yunmei, why don't we check yours first."

Fu Yunmei's eyes flashed, "I don't have any messy banned books."

Qin Xiang said sarcastically, "If you say I don't have it, then I don't have it. It's not a big deal. It's quite simple, just open the cabinet and search it and you'll know."

"You." Fu Yunmei was speechless. She bit her lip and said to Bei Nannan with tears in her eyes, "Bei Nannan, I can't bear witness to this matter. Qin Xiang has misunderstood me too deeply. I'm leaving first."

After saying that, she left without waiting for Bei Nannan to stop her.

Seeing this, Bei Nannan was immediately anxious. She grabbed Aunt Zhao's sleeve and said, "Aunt Zhao, it must be in her cabinet. She was looking here just now. If it's not in her cabinet, it must be in their cabinets. They are all in the same group."

Aunt Zhao frowned, "Qin Xiang, do you have it?"

Qin Xiang shook her head, "No."

Aunt Zhao hesitated.

Qin Xiang said calmly, "Aunt Zhao, your duty is to guard the dormitory door and prevent disorderly people from entering. By the way, you also have to maintain order in the dormitory building, right?"

After she reminded her, Aunt Zhao looked up at her, and then said to Bei Nannan, "Student Bei Nannan, students should understand and tolerate each other, and don't make trouble because of a little thing. You think searching the closet can insult her, how can you get along with each other in the future. Okay, it's late, go to bed early."

After saying that, Aunt Zhao turned around and left.

She is just a dormitory gatekeeper, why should she care about these trivial matters? If there are really banned books, it is not her business. This is Tsinghua University. If she rummaged through the students' closets today, and the students went to the school to make trouble tomorrow, her job would be ruined.

"Ah, Aunt Zhao, you can't just ignore me." Bei Nannan was anxious and quickly reached out to pull Aunt Zhao's sleeve, but Aunt Zhao shook her off, "If you don't want to sleep, get out."

The dormitory aunt was not a good-tempered person, and Bei Nannan stood there in a daze for a moment.

Qin Xiang saw Aunt Zhao out the door, "Aunt Zhao, take care."

After the dormitory aunt left, Qin Xiang closed the door, turned around and slapped Bei Nannan in the face.

Bei Nannan turned her face away, and was immediately furious, "Qin Xiang, why did you hit me?"

"Because you are so mean, and you deserve to be hit." Qin Xiang looked at her angrily, "I told you when I brought it back that you are not allowed to say a word to outsiders, but you didn't remember it at all. When your request was not fulfilled, you brought people to rummage through my cabinets. If I don't hit you, who should I hit? You really think I am good-tempered and easy to bully. Bei Nannan, you'd better open your eyes when you bully others and see who you can't mess with." Bei

Nannan covered her face, feeling humiliated, "You dare to hit me."

Qin Xiang smiled, "Yes, I hit you."

Bei Nannan bit her lip, "I will report you."

"You go." Qin Xiang said, "Go ahead and report it, and see who will believe it."

Bei Nannan went to see the other people in the dormitory. No one said a word, as if they had not seen what happened here. It was very obvious that they were unwilling to get involved, let alone testify for Bei Nannan.

Seeing this, Bei Nannan knew that she was being excluded, and immediately lay on the bed and cried.

But it was useless, no one paid any attention to her, and she was crying alone.

Looking in the mirror, her face was a little red, and she estimated that she would be gone before she could find the teacher tomorrow morning.

They just teamed up to bully her.

Qin Xiang and the others washed up and went to bed.

Qin Xiang was in a terrible mood.

Before, she only thought that although Bei Nannan flattered the powerful and bullied the weak, she had never done anything excessive.

But she didn't expect that the first time she did something excessive would be used on her.

It seems that her magazines can't be kept in the school. Bei Nannan can't find the teacher tonight, but what about tomorrow?

She thinks these magazines are fine, but there is no guarantee that the teacher will think there is a problem. In order to avoid trouble, she still has to move these things away.

Qin Xiang glanced at the dormitory. She got along very well with other people, but something like this happened today. Who knows if it will happen again in the future. Bei Nannan is a time bomb in the dormitory. If she can't get Bei Nannan out of this dormitory, she will have to buy a house and move out after her sophomore year.

It was too hard to keep myself in this kind of environment all the time.

After thinking about it, Qin Xiang fell asleep peacefully. Bei Nannan sobbed for most of the night. When she

woke up in the morning, Bei Nannan's eyes were swollen like walnuts. No one in the dormitory took the initiative to care about her.

They all thought that Bei Nannan deserved it, and that she was just full. Moreover, because of this incident, Qin Xiang would definitely not be able to leave her things in school anymore, and they would not be able to read magazines as well.

As a professional in fashion design, it is so important to read those materials to broaden your horizons, gain knowledge, and understand fashion trends. As a result, it was ruined by Bei Nannan. It would be strange if everyone could be happy.

In front of Bei Nannan, Qin Xiang took out the magazine, put it in a canvas bag, snorted, and took it away.

As soon as Qin Xiang left, Bei Nannan started to go crazy in the dormitory, "You all saw it, but you just pretended to be blind and bullied me together."

"You deserve it." Guan Yuping was so angry that she almost died. What the hell was this? With such an IQ, she could get into Tsinghua University. It was really shameful. "What the hell is this? You got the advantage but you still stabbed me in the back. What the hell is this?"

Although Guan Yuping had a bad mouth, he was really not good at swearing. He was so angry that he wanted to slam the table and beat Bei Nannan up.

Zhao Wenna and Meilin also looked at Bei Nannan with disgust, and Dingxiang was silent.

Bei Nannan felt even worse and lay there crying again.

Crying people are upset, and several people hurriedly packed up their things and went out for breakfast.

Qin Xiang had no choice but to carry her things to the storefront early in the morning, gave them to Mi Hongjun and asked him to keep them, and then hurried back to school for class.

When she arrived there, it was time for class. As soon as she sat down, Guan Yuping asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

"No, I sent them to the storefront."

She was not sure if anyone would search in the school, but the storefront was her own territory.

Guan Yuping breathed a sigh of relief and went to class peacefully. Seeing Bei Nannan sitting in the front row, she was as angry as she could be.

But Qin Xiang was very busy and didn't want to bother with Bei Nannan. As soon as the morning class was over, she went to the storefront.

However, the bricks had been brought in, but the lime and cement had not been brought in yet. Zhao Ping was the only one on the scene. Mi Hongjun went to buy steel bars under Zhu Fushun's instruction.

Although it was a two-story building, it still had to be covered, so steel bars were indispensable.

Of course, there were other things that needed to be used. Mi Hongjun had supported Qin Baotian before, so he knew more or less. Buy what you can, and the rest will have to wait until you need something else later.

In the evening, when Qin Xiang went to check again, bricks, sand, lime, cement, and steel bars had all arrived. Sand and other things were piled at the door, and cement and steel bars were in the yard, waiting for Qin Baotian and his men to get here and start working.

But now Qin Xiang is facing a new problem. The goods ordered from Yangcheng will arrive the day after tomorrow. The original idea was to use this place as a warehouse to stock up the goods, but now it is no longer possible. She can only look for other places first.

But it is not easy to find a warehouse tomorrow.

Zhao Ping said, "There are no such warehouses for rent now, so I looked for them near the wholesale city. There are single-room bungalows for rent, but the area is not large, and it is not safe. It is easy for people to pry in."

Qin Xiang frowned, "Is there a yard?"

Qin Xiang didn't believe that Zhao Ping didn't look for these.

As expected, Zhao Ping said, "I looked for it, but couldn't find it at first. I happened to meet Comrade Miao. When he heard that I was looking for a courtyard, he took me to find someone there to find a courtyard."

"Siheyuan?" Qin Xiang was shocked. "They are willing to sell it?"

Zhao Ping shook his head. "They are willing to rent it to us. The landlord is not local. The house is temporarily empty. There are university professors on both sides, so it is safer. I think it can be rented."

Qin Xiang rubbed her hands and felt a little regretful. Siheyuan, she really wanted to buy it, but unfortunately there were too few people willing to sell it at this time. Both sides are the residences of university professors, and the environment is also good.

What a pity, what a pity.

Qin Xiang knew roughly where the courtyard was when she heard about it, and she was itching to buy it.

But there was no other way. She had a class tomorrow, so she could only ask Zhao Ping to do it. "Tomorrow you and Mi Hongjun go over to take a look, and then rent it first, for two months temporarily. The goods will arrive in the capital tomorrow, because then they will be directly taken over. But you must pay attention to clean it up and store it properly, and don't let rats bite it."

Zhao Ping nodded, "Okay, I got it."

Qin Xiang sighed, "It's so busy, and I have to keep an eye on the wholesale city. Don't relax."

After agreeing with Zhao Ping, Qin Xiang went back to school.

Although she had some basic knowledge of clothing design and had studied with a teacher, she only learned to design clothes directly and explain according to the problem.

System theory is still lacking, and it still takes a lot of time.

The next day, Zhao Ping and Mi Hongjun rented the courtyard temporarily, and the goods arrived in the capital the next day. That afternoon, Qin Baotian brought eight workers to the capital.

Mi Hongjun was quite familiar with Qin Baotian, and took them to Qin Xiang's store by bus.

Qin Baotian couldn't believe it, "Is this Xiang Xiang's house?"

Mi Hongjun nodded, "Uncle, is my sister amazing?"

"Amazing, amazing." Qin Baotian looked at the two big houses inside and out and liked them very much. It's really great to come to the capital city all the way. It's not amazing to be able to buy such a house and yard in this place.

The people brought here are all from Qinjiatun, and they are very envious of this yard.

But those who can be brought out by Qin Baotian are not talkative people, and none of them say bad things.

If Mi Hongjun hadn't asked them to rest for a night before working, Qin Baotian would have wanted to roll up his sleeves and start working that day.

Qin Baotian turned around and said, "How come you don't even have a pot? How are we going to eat?"

Sleeping is easy. Mi Hongjun bought some cattail mats and towel blankets. It's not too cold at night and it's okay to live in. But he really forgot about eating.

Qin Baotian told him, "Take people to buy pots, bowls, rice, flour and so on. We don't ask for good food, just to fill our stomachs. We can't eat out every day. It costs so much money."

Hearing this, Mi Hongjun hurried to buy supplies and came back to set up the pot again.

Qin Baotian was satisfied, "That's more like it."

In the evening, Qin Xiang came over and took Qin Baotian and the others out for a good meal. Qin Baotian was not happy at first, thinking that so many people would have to spend a lot of money.

Qin Xiang persuaded, "It's okay, one or two meals won't make your daughter full. Eat at ease, it's your first time in the capital, why don't you have a good meal first. You won't have time to go out to eat when you're busy later."

"You kid, you just spend money recklessly." But as a father, he was still very happy. He had a house. He originally thought that his daughter settled down in the provincial capital, but who knew that Qin Xiang could buy a house in the capital.

Land in the capital is so expensive, but he didn't expect to buy one.

When it comes to the price, Qin Baotian doesn't think it's expensive at all, "It's worth it."

They are all from the countryside, and although they have been to the provincial capital, they still feel different when they are in the capital.

Some of the young people are also Qin Xiang's childhood friends, and they grew up together. Now Qin Xiang is not only in college but also so capable, which is really impressive.

It's not comparable, it's not comparable.

Qin Xiang took them to a nearby hotel and set up two tables. They had a big meal and ordered twelve dishes. There was no leftovers. The waiters in the hotel looked at them sideways.

There was no way. The food on the train was not good, and it was not so good even in the countryside.

After dinner, Qin Xiang sent them back to rest. The conditions were simple, and she wanted them to stay in the guesthouse first, but Qin Baotian thought it was fine. "When we went to the county to work, we sometimes fell asleep directly on the roadside. Now it's not so cold, so there's no need to be so particular."

Qin Xiang was relieved. Seeing that the blanket was a little thin, she asked Mi Hongjun to buy some more quilts tomorrow, and then went back to school.

The next day, Qin Xiang had classes in the morning. When she came over at noon, she saw that Qin Baotian had already led people to work hard.

To build a house, you must first dig the foundation. Laying the foundation is the most laborious and time-consuming. Once the foundation is laid, it will be easy to lay bricks.

Zhao Ping hurried back and said to Qin Xiang, "Boss, the goods have arrived."

Qin Xiang was shocked, "Have they all been unloaded?"

Zhao Ping nodded, with a smile in his eyes, "I have unloaded everything as you said. I have moved everything into the house. I have sprinkled rat poison on the corners and other places. I will wrap them up with oil paper in the afternoon. It should be fine."

After all, they are all around here, and the distance is not very far. It only takes about ten minutes to walk there. This is also the first time Qin Xiang has come to see this courtyard.

To be honest, I am very moved.

The surrounding environment is good and very quiet. The courtyard is well preserved. There is a large screen wall as soon as you enter the door, and there is a nine-curve corridor around the screen wall.

This is not a two-story house, but a three-story house.

Qin Xiang was shocked, "Brother Zhao, how much is the monthly rent for this house?"

Zhao Ping scratched his head, "Ten yuan a month, I also think it's expensive. But there's no suitable one around, and Miao Sheng happened to have connections, so I didn't think much about it."

"Expensive? Ten yuan?" Qin Xiang felt complicated. This must be a favor from the local rich man.

Such a big yard is rented for ten yuan, and it's still vacant?

Don't look at it as the capital, there are so many people who don't have houses. How many people are crammed into a room in a big courtyard with their families.

This yard has three entrances, and there are at least a dozen rooms in front and back. If you rent a room for two yuan, it will cost more than thirty yuan.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the landlord is afraid that so many people will rent it and damage the house.

But ten yuan a month...

wait.

Qin Xiang asked Zhao Ping, "Did Miao Sheng help you find the house?"

"Yes, he happened to know someone, and then he said that the house was for rent. He also negotiated the price." Zhao Ping was puzzled, "Isn't it right?"

It was really wrong. Qin Xiang asked again, "Then did you meet the landlord when you signed the contract?"

Zhao Ping shook his head, "No, I signed it directly at the housing management office. The person said that the landlord was not in the capital."

Qin Xiang still felt something was wrong. This house couldn't be Meng Huaiqing's.

If it was true, she would really feel jealous.

People are just different. In the port city, there are industries, and in the capital, there are courtyard houses. Even if someone's business goes bankrupt, their life will not be bad.

And she is busy all the time for the small profit of a fly head.

Qin Xiang sighed, "Let's go and check the goods."

Because they were going to do wholesale, Qin Xiang ordered a lot of goods this time. Qin Xiang and I were busy for a long time but we still couldn't finish checking the goods.

She had to go back to class in the afternoon, so she asked Zhao Ping to check everything. If there was no problem, she would pay the balance.

If they needed to order more goods later, if the quantity was large, they would be delivered by a car going the same way. Otherwise, they would be shipped by train. However, a car going the same way would be faster and would arrive in three or four days.

The two came out and locked the door, and saw Mi Hongjun running towards them excitedly, "Sister, good news."

Qin Xiang knew exactly what Mi Hongjun did when he went out in the morning. Seeing him excited, she knew that there was something going on in the wholesale city.

Mi Hongjun said, "Tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock, the sale will start, but the purchase is limited, each person can only buy one. First come, first served."

Qin Xiang immediately became excited.
