Chapter 143
Late in the evening, Assistant Liu finally managed to coax his wife. Just a few years after getting married and having a child, Assistant Liu followed his boss to the mainland, leaving his wife and children in Hong Kong. He must have been reluctant to leave, and there was a lot of fuss when he came back. Fortunately, his boss was considerate and gave him a few days off, so he managed to coax his wife. However, when
the family was about to rest, Assistant Liu received a call from Meng Huaiqing, and his wife next to him was upset.
But Assistant Liu was very calm. He knew that he could not offend anyone but his boss. He immediately got up and said, "Yes, I know. I will arrange it right away."
He put on his pants and kissed his wife. "Sorry, honey, I have to go. Our boss is in love and is going to meet his girlfriend late at night. I can only help arrange it."
Assistant Liu left in a hurry, leaving his wife dumbfounded. Boss Meng also fell in love?
It was really going to rain in the sun.
But Assistant Liu's wife was not an ordinary person. She would definitely not tell anyone about this.
Assistant Liu hurried to make arrangements. When he arrived at the villa in the middle of the mountain, he ran into Miao Sheng, "Why are you here so late?"
"Something happened." Miao Sheng was sent back to Hong Kong because of the previous incident. Since he could defeat Miao Sheng and get to the boss, Assistant Liu naturally would not tell the boss's movements at this time.
After a busy night, Meng Huaiqing finally got in the car and set off directly.
Qin Xiang slept peacefully after the call. Although she slept during the day, she still felt tired and lay down almost sleepless all night.
It was already past six o'clock in the morning when she got up. Thinking about taking Mi Hongjun to Shisanhang, she hurried to wash up.
The weather in the south is much warmer than the capital. Qin Xiang wore a bright red woolen coat and a black scarf, which was particularly festive.
However, when he and Mi Hongjun went downstairs, they saw a man sitting in the rest area next to them.
Qin Xiang stopped and was a little surprised.
Because the back was too familiar, with a big suit, a neatly combed suit, a straight back, leaning on the back of the chair, and seemed to be reading a newspaper.
"Isn't that..."
Without waiting for Mi Hongjun to say anything, Qin Xiang ran directly to the man and sat opposite him, "What a coincidence, Mr. Meng."
Meng Huaiqing put down the newspaper, put his fingers on his knees, and slowly smiled, "What a coincidence, Boss Qin."
The two smiled at each other.
Qin Xiang asked, "Why did you come here suddenly? Weren't you still in Hong Kong last night?"
"Yes, because someone suddenly came to Guangzhou. I felt that if I didn't work harder, it would still be called dating?" Meng Huaiqing raised her hand, and someone immediately handed her a lunch box, "Let's have breakfast together."
The food inside was the popular breakfast in Hong Kong, which was a little different from that in Guangzhou.
"What time did you leave last night?" Qin Xiang would be lying if she said she was unhappy. Being cared about so much by someone, no matter what their purpose was for being together, was enough to make her happy. What she didn't expect was that Meng Huaiqing would rush over to meet her overnight.
Meng Huaiqing said slowly, "A little after ten o'clock."
Coming from Hongcheng was not only due to the journey but also other procedures, but she didn't expect that everything could be done in one night, and she could have breakfast with her early in the morning.
Qin Xiang said sincerely, "Thank you for your hard work, Huaiqing."
This greeting made Meng Huaiqing happy, "It won't be hard if you call me a few more times."
Qin Xiang smiled, "You wish."
Whether it was a wishful thinking or not, she was still very happy to meet in Guangzhou. She thought she would have to wait until after the Chinese New Year to see him, but she didn't expect to see him here.
The two of them had a pleasant breakfast, and Qin Xiang remembered Mi Hongjun. Fortunately, Assistant Liu was a very considerate and responsible person. He had already led Mi Hongjun to have breakfast at a table not far away. When he saw Qin Xiang looking over, Mi Hongjun's eyes were a little resentful.
Qin Xiang felt inexplicably guilty. She was like a bad girl. Yesterday she swore that she would treat Mi Hongjun as her own brother, but today she forgot her brother for the sake of beauty and forgot about her brother when she was having dinner with a man.
Meng Huaiqing followed her gaze and smiled, "Xiaomi works very hard and has grown a lot."
Qin Xiang agreed with this, "Yes, it's very good for her age. It may also be because she has suffered a lot from the society, so she knows how to make progress. What's rare is that she has maintained a pure heart, which is why I am willing to treat him as my brother."
As she said, she now has quite a few employees, but compared to others, Mi Hongjun was the first to follow her and support her.
Meng Huaiqing didn't say anything, but glanced at the table with his fingers, and then suggested, "How about letting Assistant Liu take care of him after the New Year?"
Qin Xiang was surprised. She didn't expect him to have such a suggestion. In the past, she had more contact with Miao Sheng and knew that Miao Sheng was a talkative person, but she didn't know much about Assistant Liu, who was relatively silent and steady. But Zhao Ping said that Meng Huaiqing handed the Cui Hong incident to Assistant Liu. To be able to follow the clues and bring down Sun Qiang so quickly, it is obviously not enough to have Meng Huaiqing's connections alone, but also to have brains and the ability to coordinate.
Assistant Liu has all of these.
Meng Huaiqing raised his eyebrows, "Not happy? It's okay, Xiaomi can grow up well without someone to guide her."
"No, I don't have any objections." Qin Xiang sighed, "I just think you have so many capable people around you."
A little envious.
Meng Huaiqing didn't comment, and even added an explanation, "Assistant Liu graduated from the University of Hong Kong. Later, I helped him once by chance, and then he followed me to work. He is capable."
"Not only good, you are too modest." Qin Xiang said faintly, "Compared to him, my employees are progressing slowly."
There is no way, anyone with a little ability still aims to work in factories or other iron rice bowls. Individual business owners earn a lot but are not well received, and they always feel that they are not as reliable as iron rice bowls.
Meng Huaiqing smiled, "It will get better, I believe you."
Because of this I believe you, Qin Xiang likes Meng Huaiqing better.
After breakfast, Qin Xiang said to Meng Huaiqing, "I'm going to take Xiaomi to the Thirteenth Floor. I have to discuss the order with Guan Zhibin later. What do you think, Mr. Meng?"
"Of course, I'm going back to Hong Kong." Meng Huaiqing looked at his watch and rubbed his forehead. "I have a meeting at ten o'clock. I spent too much time in the mainland before and had too many things to do."
Qin Xiang thought he could stay for a while, but he didn't expect him to leave after breakfast.
Although it was a pity, both of them had work to do, so they could only say goodbye for the time being.
Several people came out together, first driving Qin Xiang and the other two to the Thirteenth Floor, and then Meng Huaiqing said to Assistant Liu, "Let's go back."
Assistant Liu glanced at his boss from the rearview mirror, and he really couldn't imagine that his boss would go crazy one day.
If the paparazzi in Hong Kong knew about this, the gossip would be even more exciting.
How many people want to catch Meng Huaiqing's gossip.
Meng Huaiqing said again, "When you return to the capital after the New Year, you should take care of Mi Hongjun and train him better. In the future, he will be Qin Xiang's right-hand man."
The first thing Assistant Liu learned from Miao Sheng was not to hesitate about the boss's orders, let alone act on his own.
Sure enough, Meng Huaiqing was very happy, "Reward half a month's bonus."
No one dislikes bonuses, and Assistant Liu breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, boss." He can report to his wife when he returns.
On the other side, Qin Xiang was also in a good mood. Mi Hongjun said with a sour look, "Sister, you and Boss Meng are getting along very well now."
Qin Xiang smiled and looked at him, "Not bad."
"Then are you dating?" Mi Hongjun was very curious. As far as he knew, Jie Zong and He Chenghua seemed to have taken a fancy to his sister Qin Xiang, but none of them could get Qin Xiang's special treatment like Meng Huaiqing.
Qin Xiang did not answer, but asked, "Then you and Jingjing are getting along well too."
Sure enough, Mi Hongjun's face turned red, and he did not ask any more questions. He turned his head and pretended to look at the scenery, "The climate here is really good, it's not cold in winter."
Qin Xiang could not help laughing, and she deliberately stretched out her hand to poke him, "Ah, are you shy?"
"No." Mi Hongjun's face was still very red.
Qin Xiang was even happier.
The two of them entered the Thirteenth Floor. The lively scene opened Mi Hongjun's eyes. He was led around from beginning to end and finally went to Guan Zhibin's stall. Guan Zhibin and his wife were entertaining guests. They greeted them and continued to be busy.
Qin Xiang did not bother him. He took Mi Hongjun to each stall to look at the goods and ask about the prices. He also let Mi Hongjun choose the clothes by himself and Qin Xiang checked them. If he found the right ones, he would order them. Mi Hongjun selected them very seriously and followed Qin Xiang's instructions completely.
After walking around and ordering some goods, Mi Hongjun was ashamed, "I found that I still haven't learned enough."
Qin Xiang nodded and asked him, "Now do you know why I let you go to school?"
"I know." Mi Hongjun looked at the people around him, none of them were not smart, like him, who looked powerful and did well in the wholesale city, but when he came here, he found that it was different. In the wholesale city, he only had to sell goods and serve customers step by step, but in Yangcheng, he had to deal with suppliers and wholesalers, and he might be cheated if he was not careful.
Mi Hongjun said to Qin Xiang, "Sister, I will definitely study hard at night school after the New Year."
"Well, in addition to learning management, you can also go to our school to listen to classes when you have time. I will try to get you a borrowing card when the time comes."
The country needs talents now, and the management in some aspects is not too strict. Qin Xiang thinks it is also good to go to get a card to listen.
Mi Hongjun nodded, "Okay."
The two of them walked around for a whole morning. At around eleven o'clock, the flow of people finally decreased, and some stalls began to close.
Guan Zhibin came over, "Let's go and have dinner."
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "It's agreed that I will treat you this time."
Guan Zhibin is not a calculative person. It's just a meal, it doesn't matter who treats. They
ate nearby. After dinner, Guan Zhibin took them to Guan Zhihong to discuss the quantity and style of the spring collection. It was another busy day.
Mi Hongjun thought he had more experience than his peers, but it was only then that he realized that his skills were not good enough.
In one word: shocked.
When he came out of the factory, Mi Hongjun was unusually silent. Qin Xiang couldn't help teasing him, "Why, are you scared?"
Mi Hongjun shook his head depressedly, "I'm not scared, I just saw the gap between people. Let alone Director Guan, I'm far behind even Brother Guan Zhibin."
Seeing him depressed, Qin Xiang comforted him, "Don't be depressed, Guan Zhibin got six because he has a good cousin. It has been seven years, and it was not all smooth sailing at the beginning. Think about it, the reform and opening up was only in 1978, and it has not even been eight years now. At the beginning, the policy was unclear and many things were even more difficult to implement. Besides, he is so old, and you are so young, you have plenty of time to improve. "
Qin Xiang is like this. Experience tells her that when dealing with employees, you can't just suppress them blindly, nor can you just give them sweet encouragements, but you have to use both kindness and force. After the encouragement, Qin Xiang continued, "Of course, you have to seize the good time of your youth and not waste time, otherwise everything will be in vain. The environment is so good now that a pig can fly to the sky if it stands on the wind. We should work harder."
Mi Hongjun couldn't help laughing at this. Qin Xiang said with a fierce face, "Don't laugh, think about it more when you go back."
Mi Hongjun nodded hurriedly, "I know."
In the evening, the two of them ate intestines and rice noodles outside, and then went to the West Lake Night Market, and then strolled back to the hotel. The trip was short. Tomorrow they had to go to several other factories to check the goods. After that, they went back, and the factories here were basically going to be closed for the holiday.
When returning to the hotel, Qin Xiang unconsciously looked at the rest area again, and he felt unwell.
Meng Huaiqing is here again.
Qin Xiang glanced at her watch. It was already eight o'clock in the evening. Isn't this man tired of going back and forth like this?
Yangcheng is more than 110 kilometers away from Gangcheng, and there is also Pengcheng in the middle. It takes nearly three hours to drive from there, and there are various procedures.
Does this man not feel tired, or does he think that love is more important than anything else?
Qin Xiang would definitely not be happy if she was asked to do this. She was indeed surprised when Meng Huaiqing came in the morning, but she was frightened when he came again in the evening.
Meng Huaiqing stood up and walked towards Qin Xiang, "I'm sorry, I came here without making an appointment with you in advance."
Qin Xiang frowned, "It's more than a hundred kilometers, don't you feel tired after such a round trip?"
Meng Huaiqing was stunned, and was stunned for a moment when he saw the expression on her face, "Actually it's okay. I came here by helicopter after passing customs."
Qin Xiang: "..."
Okay, you are the boss and you have the final say.
But Qin Xiang didn't want to get used to these bad habits, looking at Meng Huaiqing and said, "But it's late now, I was planning to go back and rest."
She didn't know how long Meng Huaiqing had been waiting here, and she couldn't feel sympathy. If they had to get along like this in the future, Qin Xiang felt that she would regret starting this relationship.
It would make her feel suffocated.
Of course, this was because she was in Yangcheng, which was closer, but Qin Xiang felt that she should still make it clear.
However, when she saw the bloodshot in Meng Huaiqing's eyes, Qin Xiang's heart was moved in a different way. She said helplessly, "Just sit here. It's late. I don't want to move after running all day."
Even so, it was enough to make Meng Huaiqing happy. The two sat down, and soon a waiter brought drinks over. Meng Huaiqing got coffee, but Qin Xiang got milk. Meng Huaiqing smiled gently, "Drink the milk and have a good sleep later."
Qin Xiang's mood became more complicated, "So you came here just to see me drink milk?"
Meng Huaiqing still smiled gently, "I didn't come here to see what you do or how long I can stay with you, but I just wanted to see you once, and I felt that this trip was not in vain."
"Then you should be glad that I didn't check out today." Qin Xiang leaned back in the chair, stretched out her legs to relieve the soreness of her legs.
Sitting like this is not proper, and it will never appear in Meng Huaiqing's place. No matter how tired he is, no matter where he is, he always seems to sit upright.
Meng Huaiqing pushed the milk to her hand and said, "If you check out, I will go back directly."
He didn't feel disappointed.
Qin Xiang said "oh" and narrowed her eyes.
After a while, Qin Xiang felt that she was about to fall asleep. Suddenly, she realized that the light in front of her eyes was blocked. She opened her eyes and saw Meng Huaiqing taking his coat to cover her. "Go back to the room and sleep. I have to go back too."
Qin Xiang did not comment and got up to go back to the room. Meng Huaiqing walked beside her and said considerately, "A boyfriend should send his girlfriend back to the room at this time, right?"
"Can I still refuse?" Qin Xiang smiled helplessly, "But don't think I will take the initiative to invite you into the room."
Whether it is to have a date or go to bed, Qin Xiang doesn't mind, but she always feels that these things should be done naturally. Even those things between men and women should be enjoyed instead of exhausting oneself.
Meng Huaiqing didn't seem to care. He sent her to the door of the room and turned around and left.
Qin Xiang was stunned for a moment, opened the door and went in. After washing up, she fell asleep.
The next day, Qin Xiang took Mi Hongjun to several factories and ordered some suitable clothes when she saw them.
Fortunately, Meng Huaiqing did not come all the way to date Qin Xiang again, which made Qin Xiang feel relieved. It was not
until they were about to leave that the two of them made a phone call and helped to book the tickets. After
several twists and turns, they returned to the capital. Qin Xiang shivered as soon as he got off the plane.
It was so cold.
Mi Hongjun was not much better. They put on thick coats when they got off the plane, but they were still scared as soon as they got off the plane.
"It must be more than ten degrees below zero, right?"
The winter in the capital is very cold. When the wind blows, it feels like a knife cutting on the face. Qin Xiang gathered her clothes and quickly went down with Mi Hongjun.
After going out, I saw Zhao Ping in the cold wind, driving their car.
Yes, a tricycle.
It burned oil.
Sitting on the tricycle, Qin Xiang couldn't help but think of Guan Zhibin's second-hand car. To be honest, I didn't feel so envious when I was there, but now I am jealous. If I had a car, I wouldn't have to stand in the wind.
Unfortunately, reality is very bleak.
Blowing in the cold wind, I arrived at the storefront. Before I put down my things, someone came to shout, "Qin Xiang, answer the phone."
Qin Xiang rubbed his hands and went out. He was in a bad mood. Who is this? He is really in a hurry. "Who is it?"
The other party smiled and said, "Xiao Qin, it's me."
