Chapter 126
The world is full of wonders. Although it seems a little strange and unbelievable, it is not impossible.
Especially since the past period of time, the two have had many opportunities to meet. What is their relationship? The capital is so big that the chances of them meeting by chance are too few. And He Chenghua has helped her several times, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
She couldn't help but think too much.
What if she is the physique that attracts everyone?
However, after Qin Xiang finished speaking, He Chenghua was suddenly slapped and started coughing violently.
While Qin Xiang was waiting for an answer, the man turned around and ran away.
Before leaving, he left a sentence, "What are you thinking about? Don't think about me."
The man had long legs and disappeared in a short while.
Qin Xiang laughed. The words were rough but the truth was there. What a joke.
Go back and have a rest.
She was not interested in finding a partner, but He Chenghua's words made her think too much.
Bei Nannan had a quarrel with her because of not borrowing the magazine. She was never in a good mood when they met. She also talked about her cousin's shop.
Bei Nannan's cousin might not bother Qin Xiang because of her cousin's trivial matter. But Qin Xiang's business in the wholesale city was too good. There were only so many people. If Qin Xiang got more, wouldn't others have less?
Once the two shops were combined, it might give others a reason to deal with her. Maybe destroying her would not benefit herself and would not bring more people, but seeing the jealous shops fail, how could she not be excited and unhappy?
Qin Xiang took a deep breath. Starting a business is full of hardships.
She is happiest only when she counts the income every day.
Now it has been five or six days since the official opening. The daily income is about 10,000 yuan, and the delivery volume is very fast. It is not only her store that delivers quickly. Other businesses are also good, but there are only a few that can compare with their store.
It is normal to be targeted.
Especially when she knows that the boss is a woman.
No wonder Zhao Ping said that someone would deliberately hang around outside their store in the next two days.
Although Qin Xiang is worried, she can't help it. She can only wait until tomorrow to tell Zhao Ping to strengthen defense.
In addition, since the goods are sold quickly, she has to replenish the stock.
The next winter style can be sold at least until the New Year. In more than three months, she must make a lot of money.
When returning to the dormitory building, she happened to meet Bei Nannan hurrying downstairs. When she saw Qin Xiang
, she couldn't help but feel proud, "Qin Xiang, I heard that you rented a shop in the wholesale city. Is your business good?" Qin Xiang looked at her with a smile and nodded, "Thanks to you, the business is very good."
As she said that, she walked upstairs. Bei Nannan sneered, "Then you have to be careful. I heard that some people fall harder the higher they climb."
Qin Xiang nodded in agreement, "That's true, but the premise is that people have to climb up first. Some people can only stay at the foot of the mountain no matter how they struggle, and they can't fall even if they want to. Even if you climb high and fall hard, at least we have experienced it, right?"
After that, Qin Xiang went straight upstairs. Bei Nannan gritted her teeth in hatred, "It's over sooner or later."
After going upstairs, she couldn't see Bei Nannan anymore, and Qin Xiang's face fell immediately.
It seems that He Chenghua's reminder was right. Bei Nannan really wanted to punish her.
But she opened a shop and did business uprightly, and she had all the necessary documents. She didn't believe that she couldn't defend herself against such a person.
And He Chenghua's words seemed to have solved her problem?
Qin Xiang returned to the dormitory worriedly. Seeing that she looked unhappy, the others resisted the urge to come over and make fun of her.
After washing up and going to bed, Qin Xiang couldn't sleep. The words of He Chenghua and Bei Nannan kept replaying in her mind, and then she covered herself with the quilt and went to sleep.
She couldn't be unable to sleep because of such a small matter.
This is just the beginning. Now it's just the beginning. There is a long way to go in the future, and there will be many things to encounter. Compared with some bloodless business wars, this kind of targeting is child's play.
When he woke up, he was full of energy. It was Saturday and he only had one class in the morning. After class, Qin Xiang went straight to the wholesale market. Most people had left by then. When Qin Xiang went in, Zhao Ping whispered, "Those people seem to have been keeping an eye on us these two days."
Qin Xiang frowned. "I suspect someone wants to frame me, but we have all the procedures in place. The only thing we can guard against is someone causing trouble at night. In addition, when shipping, we must check with the person picking up the goods, and have them sign the shipping order carefully. Don't be careless."
"I know." Zhao Ping said, "Everyone has gotten familiar with each other these two days and has been busy. Qin Dong will also help me check, so there will be no mistakes."
Qin Xiang nodded, and when he looked up, he saw a young man in his twenties looking over here.
As if seeing Qin Xiang, the other party smiled at her and then waved away.
Qin Xiang asked, "Do you know his name?"
"It seems to be that. It is said that he is a former royal relative of the capital. He has some ability and owns two shops in this wholesale city. One on the first floor and one on the third floor. The location is not very good." Zhao Ping obviously asked around and asked everyone he could. "One more thing. Our other two shops have been empty. Several people have been asking if we want to rent them out."
Qin Xiang said without thinking, "No, it's better to hire someone to look after the shops and run the business ourselves than to earn that little rent. When the two people in Qinjiatun come to work, they will be gone. When the girl comes, let Tan Xiu teach her. When she learns well, we will open the shop on the first floor, specializing in sportswear and men's clothing. The shop on the second floor will wait a little longer. When we have enough staff, we will sell home textiles and the like. "
Zhao Ping obviously guessed Qin Xiang's idea and didn't think it was strange. Zhao Ping said, "I have been living here quietly at night recently, watching the goods. If there are any mice, I will catch them directly."
Qin Xiang nodded, "Thank you for your hard work. You have to keep up with their nutrition for three meals a day."
Zhao Ping nodded, "I understand."
"But if you really want to catch the rat, don't do it, just send it to the police station. It's not worth it to let yourself suffer for such a person."
Even though He Chenghua said that the problem had been solved, Qin Xiang was still worried. It's better to be safe than sorry. What if someone is jealous of their good business and deliberately breaks into the store at night to cause trouble?
There are a lot of goods here. If they are really damaged, she will be in trouble.
Zhao Ping nodded, "I know."
It was also thanks to the absence of the third brother, otherwise the third brother would have beaten the troublemakers half to death. They are law-abiding citizens and cannot do such things.
After coming out from here, Qin Xiang went to the storefront. After more than a week of construction, the second floor had been built and connected to the original house at the back. The stairs were at the middle corner, so as not to interfere with the space of the two storefronts at the back.
In this way, there was no yard at all. Except for the storefront, the rest of the space on the first floor was used as a warehouse. However, in order to distinguish between retail and wholesale goods, the warehouse was directly divided into two rooms. In order to protect the goods, a small room was separated in the middle as a resting place for the staff on duty. The second floor is built with six rooms, two living rooms, one kitchen and two bathrooms, all of which are used as staff dormitories.
Now the house has been built and has been aired for several days. It is time to plaster the walls and scrape the putty after the cement hardens.
According to Qin Baotian, it will be done simply after the installation and scraping of the putty. Most people can go back first, and he can leave two people to do it.
But Qin Xiang thinks that since it is done, just do it right away.
The front room will be painted first, and ceramic tiles will be bought at a high price to lay ceramic tiles inside the front room. The walls are painted snow-white and there is not a single flaw.
The lights are also bought at a high price and are beautiful. Once turned on, they are bright and upscale.
Others were also busy. Those who knew carpentry started to build showcases, while those who didn't helped clean the place. Or they went to the wholesale market to clean up the two shops. They were busy all day.
Qin Xiang inspected the place like she was inspecting her territory, and then went back to the wholesale market. She unexpectedly saw He Chenghua talking to the young man she saw at noon.
Of course, the man named Na Qiang seemed to be very flattering to He Chenghua, and he was almost groveling and serving tea and water.
Seeing Qin Xiang coming over, He Chenghua put out the cigarette in his hand, pointed at Qin Xiang and said to Na Qiang, "See, this is my friend. Although you don't know him, you are all doing business in this wholesale market. Be alert and help keep an eye on him. If anything goes wrong, I will hold you accountable."
Qin Xiang was surprised, and Na Qiang's face was not good either. The unhappiness on his face disappeared in an instant, and he smiled and said, "Brother Hua's friend is my friend, so I must help."
Na Qiang said to Qin Xiang, "We are neighbors and colleagues, and we are in the same wholesale city. If you have something to say, just tell me, and I, Na Qiang, will definitely not say a word."
Qin Xiang pulled the corner of his mouth, "No need to be so troublesome."
"It's a piece of cake." Na Qiang said sincerely, as if it was really true.
He Chenghua put his hand on Na Qiang's shoulder and said a few words to the side. Na Qiang nodded repeatedly, then glanced at Qin Xiang and went in.
"This person is not a good person. Although I said so, you'd better stay away from them." He Chenghua saw Na Qiang go in, and then came over to Qin Xiang and said.
Qin Xiang knew that what he said to Qiang was a warning to him, and she said with a complicated expression, "Mr. He, if you help me like this, I will really misunderstand you."
He Chenghua's face turned red, "I told you, what the hell do you want? If it wasn't for the fact that you once called me instructor, do you think I would be willing to care about your business? It would be fine if I didn't know, but if I happened to hear it, how could I pretend not to know and watch you being bullied?"
Seeing that He Chenghua started to nag again, Qin Xiang interrupted him, "Okay, thank you Mr. He, how can I repay you, just tell me." He
Chenghua felt embarrassed when she said that, "Then... let's have dinner together?"
Anyway, it was time for dinner, and Qin Xiang didn't hesitate to call Mi Hongjun and the others to go eat together. Since it was her treat, they might as well eat together.
He Chenghua curled his lips, "You are not sincere."
Qin Xiang pretended not to hear, "Then how can I be sincere? How about this, I will bring gifts to your house to thank you one day, what do you think?"
"No need to be so troublesome." He Chenghua is thick-skinned, but he has some bottom line sometimes. After thinking for a while, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I won't bother with you, a woman."
Qin Xiang: "..."
This man definitely has a big problem.
Several people went to a nearby hotel to eat together. Mi Hongjun also whispered to Qin Xiang, "Do you want to call that Na Qiang together?"
Qin Xiang understood what he meant. Since He Chenghua had already threatened, it couldn't be too much. It was better to make friends with him.
Qin Xiang shook her head, "Forget about today. You can treat him to a meal another day and test his background. If he deliberately makes things difficult for others, then you don't have to be afraid of him. Got it?" "
I understand."
Mi Hongjun is smart, which is why Qin Xiang was willing to bring him to the capital. She has not been here recently, and some things are decided by Mi Hongjun.
When they arrived at the hotel, He Chenghua was still sitting there ordering dishes, but he didn't drink anymore, because he said he had to go back to the military area after dinner, and he came back to visit his family during the weekend.
Qin Xiang said a few auspicious words, and almost nothing more to say.
Except for Qin Dong, who didn't know anything about the meal and ate happily, the others didn't enjoy the meal.
After dinner, He Chenghua deliberately followed Qin Xiang to the wholesale city for a walk, and talked to Na Qiang for a while before driving away.
As soon as he left, Na Qiang came over and said, "I didn't expect that Boss Qin would find him as a backer."
He bowed and said in a strange tone, "I admire you."
Qin Xiang did not refute, but smiled and said, "I still have to rely on the boss to take care of me."
Na Qiang also smiled and said, "Okay, okay."
After saying that, Na Qiang left.
Qin Xiang did not dare to relax. Although it was a good thing that He Chenghua was so shocked, she really didn't know how to repay this favor.
From what Guan Yuping said, He Chenghua's father was a senior officer in the army, and his mother was a military doctor. The family was not short of money. It was really difficult for her to repay this favor.
Who would believe it if she told others that someone was delivering it to her doorstep to ask her to curry favor with him?
Depressed as she was, she accepted the benefit. She could only find a chance to repay He Chenghua for his help.
The next day was Sunday, and the two girls selected by Secretary Qin finally arrived in the capital after going through untold hardships.
The two went to the provincial capital first, where Qin Yang bought them train tickets, and then they went all the way to the capital.
When Qin Xiang received the people, she was dazed for a moment, thinking that she saw two refugees, who were dirty and had their faces smeared so much that they were almost unrecognizable. Even Qin Dong, who had lived in the same village for so long, did not recognize them. It was only when the two girls called Qin Dong's name that he suddenly recognized them.
Neither of the two girls has the surname Qin. Although most people in Qinjiatun have the surname Qin, there are also some people with other surnames, Liu Xiaocao and Mao Yuxiang. Liu Xiaocao is seventeen this year, while Mao Yuxiang is only sixteen.
Qin Xiang couldn't help but feel ashamed. Secretary Qin really chose
this age. But it's not surprising that Secretary Qin chose this age. In the countryside, when you turn eighteen, you basically find a husband. Once you have a husband, you can't guarantee that your husband's family won't have any opinions if you go out to work. It's better to choose a sixteen or seventeen-year-old who hasn't found a husband. Even if the family wants to make more money, they won't urge you to go back and get married two years ago.
Qin Xiang looked at the two people and couldn't help sighing. He took them to the guesthouse and lived with Tan Xiu temporarily. After putting down the luggage, he took the two people to the bathhouse and asked for a small room to wash up, which also revealed their true colors.
Although she is not very good-looking, she has delicate features and lively eyes, showing a sense of cleverness. Since she is the one chosen by Secretary Qin, her character is not a problem. She will be taught by Tan Xiu later.
Tan Xiu has a good temper and has taught several people before, so she is very good at it.
However, Qin Xiang also specially held a small meeting for the two of them, "I will be here less in the future, so you two should just follow your sister Xiu and learn skills, learn how to entertain customers, etc., understand?"
The two girls nodded repeatedly, and Liu Xiaocao said, "Sister Xiangxiang, we will definitely do a good job."
Qin Xiang tapped her head, "First of all, change your accent to Mandarin."
Liu Xiaocao blushed, and after a long time she managed to say, "It feels a bit weird."
The two of them laughed.
Qin Xiang also had a faint smile on her face, but she taught, "You two should change your accents in the next two days, and speak Mandarin in daily life."
She thought for a while and said, "When you have nothing to do, go to the market and learn the local accent."
In the capital, accent is sometimes very important. Some people unconsciously feel superior when they hear foreign accents, but they dare not act rashly when they meet locals.
Qin Xiang herself can't learn it, but the two are young, so they should learn it, after all, it is a language.
After giving instructions, Qin Xiang taught Tan Xiu. She was not free either, and she had to call Guan Zhibin to place an order.
After the call was made, Guan Zhibin called back soon, "Boss Qin, congratulations on your prosperity."
Qin Xiang smiled and greeted, "Boss Guan, your business is booming."
Guan Zhibin said, "If you don't call me, I will call you too. I have a batch of good goods. It depends on whether you want them or not."
