Chapter 142
In the countryside, divorce is a big deal. Qin Baotian's perception was broken a little bit. There were three divorced people in the family, which had caused a sensation around them.
I didn't expect Qin Xiang to say something even more terrible.
Fortunately, this was not Qinjiatun, otherwise Qin Baotian believed that Qin Xiang would be drowned by spit. It was really too shocking.
Qin Xiang knew that her father would not be able to accept such a cognition, so she did not explain much, and only comforted him, "Maybe Meng Huaiqing and I can grow old together smoothly. Anything is possible, and you don't need to worry about things that haven't happened. Worrying is the most useless thing. People's hearts will change, but money will not. Men can't give me a sense of security, and neither can my family. Only money can make me feel safe."
After drinking the pork chop soup and eating some vegetables, Qin Xiang's stomach was full. She stood up and said, "I'm going back to school."
The exam week has begun, and Qin Xiang has no time to show off.
Although she doesn't have too many requirements for studying, she still has to do well in the exams. This is her honor.
She came out today because she didn't have any exams, but she will have exams tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
Of course, their major will eventually come down to design. They submitted their final design a week ago. After Qin Xiang's systematic study this semester, her clothing designs are better than before, so she thinks there will be no problem.
Back at school to study for the exam, a week passed in a flash.
It was already mid-July, and some majors had finished their exams and had holidays two days ago. Qin Xiang and her classmates also had their holidays after their exams.
The people in their dormitory also took the opportunity to hold a small meeting to discuss plans for the winter vacation.
Meilin had no choice. Her home was too far away. She had bought the train tickets a few days ago and had to take the train tonight. After discussion, the others decided to stay in the capital for a few days.
Qin Xiang offered them the option of either being a tutor or working for her, because Qin Xiang had already rented three stalls in the night market in the capital, and was going to sell the clothes from the wholesale city there, making a fortune in the days before the New Year. And what was offered to them was the opportunity to set up a street stall.
"Of course, you can also buy the goods from me and sell them on your own, as long as you control the price, whatever you sell will be yours, and you can return the unsold goods to me. You can also work for me directly, and I will pay you five yuan per day, and I will also calculate the commission according to the clothes sold. This is the same as my employees."
After Qin Xiang finished speaking, several people began to think.
However, they still did not have much courage, and decided to work for Qin Xiang.
Qin Xiang nodded, "Okay, you guys go find Tan Xiu tomorrow."
Zhao Wenna asked, "Will you go too?"
Qin Xiang shook her head, "I don't have time, I have a flight tomorrow, and I need to go to Guangzhou."
This was what she had agreed with Guan Zhibin before, to go there before the New Year to see the designs of next spring and discuss ordering.
The wholesale city is estimated to be closed for the next few days. After all, most of the individual businesses have already stocked up, and the flow of people has obviously decreased in the past few days.
Although there is still a lot of inventory in Qin Xiang's store, Qin Xiang is not worried. She plans to have a clearance sale in the last two days, sell off some of it, and continue to sell the rest after the New Year. She will have to sell for a while after the New Year, but there will be fewer customers.
After Qin Xiang made the arrangements, she asked everyone to go to bed early.
Several people were quite excited.
Of course, Guan Yuping and Meilin were the exceptions, and both of them had to go home.
The next day, more people left school. Unexpectedly, Bei Nannan and Fu Yunmei did not plan to leave today. No one knew what they were doing when they went in and out.
Qin Xiang ignored them and took Zhao Wenna and the other two to the wholesale city. She handed them over to Tan Xiu and told her about her arrangements.
Starting tonight, Tan Xiu would take them to set up a stall. The price would naturally be based on the retail price, not the wholesale price, which could be considered a price protection.
That afternoon, Qin Xiang took Mi Hongjun on a plane and headed straight to Guangzhou.
It's good to have someone to help. Meng Huaiqing left someone in the capital before leaving, and it was they who helped buy the tickets.
Ahem, having a big boss makes things easier.
It was not the first time for Mi Hongjun to take a plane, but he was still very excited. He moved around in his seat and was not quiet at all.
Qin Xiang was so angry that she asked directly, "Do you have hemorrhoids?"
Mi Hongjun blushed and said, "No."
"Then you feel uncomfortable."
Mi Hongjun: "..."
He shrank his neck and dared not say anything.
Qin Xiang thought about herself as a stepmother who separated lovers, and her tone softened a little, "Will you blame me for not letting you go back to the provincial capital?"
Mi Hongjun was surprised, "How could that be, I know you want to train me and improve my abilities."
"Well, it's good that you know." Qin Xiang said seriously, "Although I have so many employees, I still trust you and my third brother the most. You two are different to me. One is my brother and the other is my younger brother. Do you understand?"
Mi Hongjun nodded, "I know, in my heart you are my real sister."
After letting go of the inappropriate thoughts, Mi Hongjun found that he was like a child who suddenly received care, and he stubbornly thought that that was the person he should have alone and should marry, but in fact it was not. That was not love, it was just because he admired the strong. The feeling of liking Qin Xiang is completely different from the feeling of liking Hao Jingjing.
Qin Xiang said softly, "Work hard to improve yourself. When you and Jingjing get married, I will give you a big gift."
Mi Hongjun smiled.
The two of them slept on the plane and were refreshed when they got off the plane. When they came out, they saw Guan Zhibin waiting for her with a familiar sign.
But what made Qin Xiang envious was that Guan Zhibin bought a car by himself.
Although it was a second-hand car, it was enough to make Qin Xiang jealous, "It's a lot of money, right?"
"This money is not a big deal." Guan Zhibin drove the car, high-spirited, "My cousin helped to arrange it. It's a smuggled car seized by the customs. When it was sold, the owner wanted to return the car, so he sold this one. Originally, my cousin planned to buy me a new one directly, but I think the second-hand one is enough, just a means of transportation."
Qin Xiang felt a little jealous when he heard him say it lightly, "It's just a return. This is enough to make me jealous."
Hearing this, Guan Zhibin laughed, "Then buy one too? I, who drink soup with you, can afford it. Don't say you can't afford it."
Qin Xiang pursed her lips and said nothing.
Of course she could afford it, but mainly she felt that it would be of little use. She
couldn't drive to school during normal times, and there were flights to and from the provincial capital during the winter and summer vacations. Now someone could help buy tickets so she didn't have to squeeze on the train. There was really no need to drive back by herself.
"Let's talk about it in a few years."
It's not that she didn't have money, it's that she didn't think it was necessary.
Guan Zhibin didn't think Qin Xiang was poor either.
Others didn't know how much goods Qin Xiang had imported in the past six months, but he knew it clearly, after all, they all passed through his hands. Qin Xiang had a lot of money in his hands, even if he kept it in stock.
But this kind of thing is tacitly understood, and they can still be good friends even if they see through it but don't say it out loud.
Guan Zhibin asked about the current economic development of the capital, and Qin Xiang picked up some of it and talked about it.
Because of its special location, Guangzhou is backed by the port city and next to Pengcheng, and its policies are obviously biased, so its development is naturally very good. However, the capital is not far behind, and its development momentum is also very rapid. For example, the science and technology park has already formed a scale and will become a nationally famous science and technology center in the future. This is something that Guangzhou cannot compare with.
Guan Zhibin said, "Today I will host the three of us and my cousin, and we will have dinner together."
It was different when they met again after a short time.
Guan Zhihong's attitude towards Qin Xiang became more enthusiastic.
Not to mention how much goods Qin Xiang had taken from Guan Zhihong in the past six months, the clothes designed by Qin Xiang were enough for Guan Zhihong to treat her differently.
Guan Zhihong smiled and said, "If I hadn't known that Boss Qin started his own business, I would have wanted to sign an employment contract with you earlier and let you come to the design department of our factory."
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "It's my honor to be so favored by Director Guan."
"This is not a compliment, it's the fact." Guan Zhihong was in a good mood and explained seriously, "You don't know that the clothes made from your designs will be liked by people who come to place orders at first sight as long as they are hung in the store. It's a pity that you are not from our factory, otherwise the designers in our factory would be jealous of you."
This is not a lie. It is true that their factory closely follows the Hong Kong fashion, but most of them are modified based on Hong Kong clothes. They look good, but they lack innovation. Qin Xiang's designs are different. The styles are novel and they look stylish when they are hung there.
It's a pity that they have an agreement that the first batch of goods will be supplied to Qin Xiang first.
Guan Zhihong originally thought that Qin Xiang was just a small wholesaler and how much goods he could handle.
But reality slapped him in the face. Qin Xiang's wholesale business was very successful and the shipment volume was very large. Almost all the first batch of clothes produced each time went to Qin Xiang, and then it was the turn of others.
It's not that no one gave him advice to pretend to obey but disobey in secret. Anyway, the agreement was just an agreement, and Qin Xiang was far away and didn't know it.
But Guan Zhihong didn't want to do that. It didn't matter who he ordered it to, as long as the sales volume was guaranteed.
In the past six months, Qin Xiang alone has created a lot of sales for him. He was stupid to offend Qin Xiang. If you don't know it once, how can you not know it after a long time?
On this point, Guan Zhihong and Guan Zhibin have the same idea. Although Qin Xiang is a lesbian, she will definitely do great things in the future, and they don't need to offend her. Moreover
, Guan Zhibin secretly told him that Qin Xiang knew a Hong Kong businessman, and they had a good relationship. He knew that Hong Kong businessman. Although they were not in the same industry, he was very powerful.
After expressing his feelings, Guan Zhihong toasted Qin Xiang and Mi Hongjun with tea instead of wine.
Yes, they didn't drink alcohol. I have to say that the butler brothers know how to behave.
It was only a little after eight o'clock when they had enough wine and food. Guan Zhibin drove them to the hotel to rest.
The hotel was still the same four-star hotel as before.
Whether it was the service or the hardware safety, there was no doubt.
Mi Hongjun and Granny Liu went into the Grand View Garden. Yes, they were amazed when they entered the hotel, "Sister, this place is very expensive, right? It must be very expensive to stay for one night?"
Qin Xiang nodded, "It must be at least 20 yuan."
Mi Hongjun widened his eyes, "So expensive?"
At that time, the monthly salary of workers in the capital was only 40 or 50 yuan. Staying for two nights would cost a person's entire month's salary.
After completing the check-in procedures, Guan Zhibin took his leave. Qin Xiang then explained to Mi Hongjun, "People who can afford to stay in a hotel must be rich, but look at this hotel, isn't there anyone staying here?"
Mi Hongjun observed and said, "Quite a few people."
"Yes, because there are a lot of rich people now. Guangzhou is backed by the port city, which has attracted a lot of people to start businesses and seek gold. Everyone in the country who wants to make money goes to Guangdong. There are a lot of people here, and even more rich people. People like us can only be considered small fry." Qin Xiang explained in a low voice, "And there are a lot of Hong Kong businessmen coming here. Can they stay in a guesthouse?" Although
the guesthouse is cheap, only a few dollars a night, the conditions are not good. The bosses in the port city like to enjoy themselves, so how could they possibly stay there.
Otherwise, she would not have thought that Meng Huaiqing was up to something when she first arrived in the capital.
Two rooms were booked, and the money for one night was even higher.
Mi Hongjun was so distressed that he kept sobbing.
Qin Xiang said with a smile, "Okay, go to bed early. I'll take you to the Thirteenth Floor tomorrow morning. You'll be busy tomorrow."
The two went back to their rooms. Qin Xiang took a shower and changed clothes first. When she sat on the bed, she couldn't help thinking, should I call Meng Huaiqing?
Even if you take care of your health at this time, you probably can't sleep.
It's very troublesome to call the phone in Hong Kong City directly. Qin Xiang tried it but it didn't work. She could only go downstairs to the lobby to make the call. Because many of the guests entertained here are from Hong Kong City, a special line for Hong Kong and Macau has been set up.
Qin Xiang communicated with the front desk and called the number, but she didn't expect that the person who answered the phone was a woman.
"Who are you looking for?"
Qin Xiang was stunned. "Hello, I'm looking for Meng Huaiqing."
"Huaiqing." The woman's voice softened. "Who are you?"
Qin Xiang said politely, "His friend in mainland China."
"Wait a moment." The woman covered the receiver and shouted, "Huaiqing, Huaiqing, someone is looking for you."
The voice was a little unclear because of the deliberate blocking of the microphone. After a while, a pleasant voice came over, "Qin Xiang?"
Qin Xiang was relieved to hear the familiar voice, "Yes."
Meng Huaiqing was in a good mood, "I didn't expect you to take the initiative to call me. I originally calculated the time to call you, but I didn't expect you to call me first."
Qin Xiang laughed, "Then guess where I called you?"
"The capital?"
"Guess again."
Meng Huaiqing suddenly said, "It can't be in Gangcheng."
Qin Xiang was happy, "You really think highly of me, I'm in Yangcheng."
Yangcheng is very close to Gangcheng. Meng Huaiqing really didn't expect Qin Xiang to come to Yangcheng during the winter vacation.
He glanced at the sky outside and said, "Are you staying in a hotel?"
Qin Xiang responded and said the name of the hotel, "It's a rare opportunity to enjoy it."
Meng Huaiqing smiled, "It should be."
The two talked about some things that happened during their separation, and suddenly they became quiet again.
When they were quiet, both of them were a little nervous. Meng Huaiqing suddenly asked, "So, do you miss me?"
Qin Xiang was stunned when she heard his question. She didn't expect that the big boss in Hong Kong would be so straightforward, and there was even some caution in his tone?
Qin Xiang smiled, "What do you think?"
Meng Huaiqing said gently, "I think the answer is definitely yes."
Without waiting for Qin Xiang to respond, he said, "One day without seeing you is like three years. I didn't think there was any difference in this phrase before, but now I know."
Qin Xiang touched her face, and her cheeks were a little red.
I didn't expect her to fall in love so much.
I thought that this life would be like this, but she didn't expect to meet Meng Huaiqing, which changed her life again.
Before Qin Xiang could say anything, a voice came from the other end. Qin Xiang said, "If you have something to say, just leave it at that for now. We can talk again when we are free.
" Meng Huaiqing responded and said, "Then you should go to bed early."
After the phone was hung up, Meng Huaiqing walked around in the living room. Ge Lijuan looked up at him with her reading glasses, "Do you know what you look like now?"
Meng Huaiqing looked over and was puzzled, "What?"
Ge Lijuan laughed and couldn't help teasing her grandson, "Like a peacock with its tail spread out, turning around and around but can't find the female peacock that wants to spread its tail. Are you in love?"
Meng Huaiqing did not refute, but went over and sat next to his grandmother, "Grandma, she is in Yangcheng, I want to go find her."
It was rare to see her grandson with such an expression, Ge Lijuan found it very interesting, "Do you like her so much? The girl who rented our house? "Yes, it's her. "
Meng Huaiqing probably only spoke out his thoughts so easily in front of his grandmother. Thinking of Qin Xiang, Meng Huaiqing felt happy, "Grandma, I'm going to find her."
