Chapter 145
One year after rebirth, Qin Xiang is still very satisfied with her achievements.
Divorce, starting a business, and going to college, things she never dared to think about in her previous life, she has done them all in this life.
Now thinking about her life in her previous life, it really feels like a dream.
She looked at the young faces in the living room, and her heart was also surging with inexplicable emotions. This is their era, and she can do better.
Qin Xiang took a deep breath and said, "You followed me from Shandong Province to the capital, and some of you are from the capital. No matter where you are from, you are all my good partners. I am very grateful that you have been with me for such a long time. In the future, I hope to still be able to work with you to make "Xiang Lian" better. I will not hide it from you either. In the future, I will create my own brand. When that time comes, you will all be the heroes of "Xiang Lian."
Upon hearing this, the emotions of everyone in the room were also mobilized. Although everyone was just a salesperson, they also understood the difference between wholesale purchases and opening a factory by themselves.
Mi Hongjun looked at Qin Xiang with admiration and said, "Sister, I will definitely follow you well."
Others also responded, and Qin Xiang laughed, "I believe in you. It is our destiny to be together. If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't say these words to you. Buying and selling goods is naturally worry-free, but it is also subject to others. Our goal is to become bigger and stronger. One day, I will build a family building for everyone."
This promise is big, and several girls in the capital feel it especially clearly. Their respective families live in large courtyards, and the whole family is squeezed into two rooms, and they can't move at all. If they can get a house, they will have more confidence than others when they get married in the future.
This goal is Qin Xiang's goal, and it is also everyone's goal.
After Qin Xiang finished speaking, he continued to look at the book, "Now we will award the Outstanding Employee Award."
Without a doubt, the Outstanding Employee Award went to the two store managers, Tan Xiu and Mi Hongjun. Qin Xiang's reward was also very practical, a bicycle for each person, which was now just a piece of paper and would be redeemed after the New Year.
In addition, he asked someone to calculate the sales of the two teams at the night market this week, which made everyone even more excited.
Tan Xiucai got a bicycle as a reward, and he was even happier now. He looked at Mi Hongjun and said, "I can definitely beat you."
Mi Hongjun was not to be outdone, "That's not necessarily true. It's useless to just say it. Now let's count."
The people who counted were Qin Dong and Mao Yuxiang from the store. Each team sent one person to supervise. Qin Xiang took advantage of this opportunity to go downstairs and saw her father holding a notebook to count the goods.
After living here for several months, Qin Baotian knew everything about the warehouse and knew exactly what to do.
Seeing Qin Xiang coming down, Qin Baotian said, "Isn't it a meeting? It sounds lively."
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Dad, why don't you go up? You are also a member of the group."
Because her father was here to guard the warehouse and the shipments were also careful, Qin Xiang didn't have to worry at all.
Qin Baotian shook his head, "Why should I go upstairs? I'm fine staying downstairs."
Qin Xiang said helplessly, "Dad, it's not right for you to say that. You can't think that you're my dad and you should work for me. This won't do."
As she said that, she took out a red envelope from her pocket and stuffed it into her father's pocket, "This is your bonus."
"I still have a bonus, I don't want it." Qin Baotian knew the bonus was a lot just by feeling its thickness, so he quickly pushed it back, muttering, "Others envy you for being able to make money, but Dad knows the trouble and hard work involved. Dad has no other skills, so he can only watch over the warehouse, which is nothing. You already pay him a lot in normal times, so you don't need to give him a bonus. You can keep it for yourself and it will be a support."
Qin Baotian couldn't help sighing when he thought of this. His daughter had no plans to remarry and have children, so money was very important. He would rather not have it himself and leave it to his daughter, so that she will have someone to rely on in the future. If it really doesn't work, he can let the third child secretly give birth to another child to be inherited by Qin Xiang, so that she will have someone to rely on when she is old.
So Qin Baotian was determined not to take the money.
Qin Xiang stuffed it into his pocket directly, "Just take it if I give it to you, otherwise I won't dare to let you work in the future."
The grandfather and his wife sat together on the chairs in the warehouse, and they felt inexplicably good when they looked at the warehouse which was already a little empty. There were not many goods in the warehouse, which meant that a lot of goods were sold. This is her ability.
Qin Baotian had no choice but to take it, "Then Dad will hold it for you."
The grandfather and his wife talked about the New Year again, and Qin Baotian asked her if she would go back to Qinjiatun.
Qin Xiang shook her head very firmly, "No, my fourth sister probably won't go back either."
Why go back?
Most people in Qinjiatun knew that the three brothers and sisters were making money as self-employed business owners outside, but they were still trying to introduce them to potential partners.
Of course, the third brother might have started dating Zhao Qian, but she and the fourth sister had not.
Rather than going back and listening to people introducing them to potential partners, it would be better to stay in the provincial capital. She looked at Qin Baotian and said, "If you go back, let the third brother take you back. My fourth sister and I will not go back."
Qin Baotian hesitated for a while and shook his head, "Why should I go back if you don't go back? I will live wherever you live. On the 29th, let your second and third brothers go back with me to visit the grave."
He knew his daughter's knot. He and Lian Fengying were divorced again. Rather than going back and listening to complaints, it would be better to stay in the provincial capital.
Hearing him say this, Qin Xiang also breathed a sigh of relief, "Then let's call my second brother and the others to come to the provincial capital to celebrate the New Year together. Also, Dad, what are your plans after the New Year? My idea is that you continue to come to the capital with me to look after the warehouse, or stay in the provincial capital to help my third brother. What do you think?"
Qin Baotian had not made up his mind, "Let me think about it first."
Qin Xiang did not force him to make a decision now. He nodded and stood up, "Let's go, let's go upstairs and take a look. Everyone has been eating your meals for so long, they should thank you."
The grandfather and the other two went upstairs, and the statistical results were almost out.
As the boss and notary, Qin Xiang watched Qin Dong write the data on the blackboard. Qin Xiang smiled and looked at the result and said, "Who won?"
She deliberately kept it a secret. Seeing that everyone was very nervous, she laughed, "That is..."
"Mi Hongjun's team won."
As soon as these words came out, the people in Mi Hongjun's team jumped up excitedly.
Five hundred yuan was in hand. There were five people in the team, including Ding Xiang and Zhao Wenna, and everyone could get a lot.
Mi Hongjun looked at Tan Xiu proudly, "I won."
Tan Xiu snorted, "Let's fight again next year."
"You can't beat me again." Mi Hongjun was very proud.
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Although Xiaomi's team won, it doesn't mean that Tan Xiu's team is not excellent. The total amount is only 98 yuan short."
She took out an envelope filled with 500 yuan and handed it to Mi Hongjun, and then took out a bag with a sweater in each of them, "This is your encouragement award, everyone has a share."
Qin Xiang didn't care how Mi Hongjun distributed the 500 yuan bonus, she asked Qin Dong to take out the New Year's goods prepared for everyone.
Everyone had a pair of jeans, a bucket of 5 kilograms of peanut oil, 5 kilograms of pork, and two roast ducks from Quanjude. There were enough New Year's goods, and everyone was very excited.
After the New Year's goods were distributed, there were also New Year's red envelopes, not much, 10 yuan per person, as a little thought from the boss.
Qin Xiang clapped her hands and said, "Happy New Year! Let's pack up and go to Donglaishun for hot pot."
Everyone cheered again.
It was already past seven o'clock, and there were quite a few people in Donglaishun. Fortunately, Qin Xiang had booked a large private room in advance. More than a dozen people gathered together to eat mutton and beef, chatting and laughing, and they were so happy.
Because she was happy, Qin Xiang also specially ordered two bottles of low-alcohol liquor, and everyone drank a little to prevent drinking too much.
Qin Xiang drank a little wine, thinking about the money she earned in the past six months, and her heart was happy.
She had another idea in her mind, and she was going to go back and discuss it with her third brother.
After drinking and eating too much, Qin Xiang got up to go to the bathroom. When she came out of the bathroom, she saw He Chenghua leaning against the wall outside smoking.
Qin Xiang just pretended not to see him and walked around him.
I really don't know what kind of fate this is. It's easy to run into him when I come to Donglaishun. It seems that I should come less often in the future. Although the hot pot is delicious, she can't resist meeting He Chenghua all the time. She would rather not come in the future.
"Don't you want to see me?"
He Chenghua threw the cigarette on the ground and crushed it. He walked towards Qin Xiang with a step that didn't recognize any relatives. He blocked Qin Xiang's way and stared at Qin Xiang. "Do you hate me so much?"
Qin Xiang raised her head and smiled, "Captain He, you are joking. How can such an excellent person like you be hated?"
But after she finished speaking, she looked away unconsciously. She didn't want to look at him and see his half-smile, but also seemed very hurt.
He Chenghua narrowed his eyes and was in a bad mood. "I went to the school to look for you, but you said you were on vacation. You were not there when I went to your store."
Qin Xiang: "Oh."
Her attitude made He Chenghua a little annoyed. He looked down at her, "Are you so unwilling to see me? Can't you give us a chance?"
"Sorry, I'm afraid that my partner will be unhappy if I'm in contact with you for a long time." Qin Xiang looked up at him and smiled, "Captain He, Meng Huaiqing and I are dating. As an upright person, you won't steal other people's partners."
If they were just dating as friends, Qin Xiang had no objection, but He Chenghua obviously didn't think so. Since she and Meng Huaiqing had already walked together tacitly, it would be better to talk it out with He Chenghua. She didn't want to get into unnecessary trouble, and the drinking contest was enough for once.
"Are you serious?" He Chenghua's breathing became rapid, and his tone was a little bad. He stared at the woman in front of him who was smiling and saying that she had a boyfriend. He wanted to grab her shoulders and ask her clearly, "You said it's not suitable for me, but it's suitable for Meng Huaiqing? You would rather be with a man who lives in Gangcheng than give me a chance? Do I annoy you so much?"
Qin Xiang looked at He Chenghua who was a little angry and frustrated. She was really worried that he would hit someone, but she knew He Chenghua wouldn't do that. She looked at He Chenghua calmly and said, "It's suitable The incompatibility is not about distance. On the contrary, it is because his family is in Hong Kong that he is more suitable for me. "
He Chenghua pursed his lips, "I don't understand."
Since he doesn't understand, Qin Xiang will explain it clearly, "He can accept just dating me without getting married and having children, can you accept it?"
Hearing this, He Chenghua's eyes widened. Who in this era is not rushing to get married? Even he thought for a long time and decided to pursue Qin Xiang. He even considered what would happen after they got married. If his family didn't accept Qin Xiang, he would buy a house outside and live with the couple. But
what did he hear?
Qin Xiang didn't want to get married and have children?
He Chenghua couldn't believe it. He looked at Qin Xiang's serious eyes and wanted to say that he could do it, but obviously, he couldn't do it.
He just thought it through and wanted to marry Qin Xiang and form a family. Wouldn't it be good for two people to fall in love, get married, and then have a child of their own?
He didn't understand why Qin Xiang had such an idea?
Just to make him back off?
He Chenghua suddenly found it funny. He moved his feet uneasily, looked at Qin Xiang and said, "You even gave such a reason to reject me. Then a family like Meng Huaiqing's, can allow him not to get married and have children? What will you be when he needs to get married and have children? You become his mistress? Is this what you can accept?"
"When the time comes for him to get married and have children, we will naturally separate." Qin Xiang didn't think this was a problem. She knew that Meng Huaiqing's identity was not ordinary, and she could understand that the big family needed to pass on the family line, so they reached a consensus that once Meng Huaiqing needed to get married, they would naturally separate, and no one would delay the other.
She thinks this is the best, but others don't seem to understand.
But it doesn't matter, Qin Xiang doesn't need to explain to others.
No one can live for her, and no one knows what kind of betrayal she has experienced.
In her two lives, her biggest feeling is that men and children are unreliable, and only herself can be the most reliable. Having a child is not only responsible for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, but also raising a child for so many years may end up with an ungrateful person. Why bother?
As for marriage, if two people only have each other, what difference does it make whether they get married or not? She doesn't want to put a shackle on herself.
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "He can still take charge of his own life, can you?"
When she saw He Chenghua's face darken, she knew she had hit the nail on the head. Even though He Chenghua had four brothers in his family, his parents also hoped that their son could get married, start a family, and have a child as soon as possible.
He Chenghua was unwilling to give up and said stubbornly, "What if I can do it too? You know, my parents have four sons. Even if I don't have children, there will be no shortage of children in the family. My second brother has been married for several years and his child is three years old."
Qin Xiang shook her head, thinking that He Chenghua didn't understand what she meant. "Meng Huaiqing and I have reached a consensus. I feel very comfortable with him. I'm sorry, Captain He. I've always remembered your help to me before. If one day you need my help, I will do my best to repay you. When it comes to emotional matters, I can't give you the results you want."
After that, Qin Xiang walked around her and walked away. He Chenghua stood there with a painful look in his eyes.
They had only known each other for a few months, but such a woman had already lived in his heart.
Why, why couldn't he do it?
How was he inferior to Meng Huaiqing?
Qin Xiang returned to the private room, and everyone was still eating happily.
Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and Mi Hongjun beside her whispered, "Why are you up so late?"
"Nothing, I met an acquaintance and chatted for a few more words." Qin Xiang picked up the chopsticks and started eating again. Nothing could affect her eating. Isn't making money just to let yourself eat and drink well?
After dinner, several local shop assistants in the capital went home together, and Qin Xiang and his group went back to the storefront. Since the room was limited, they bought two more bunk beds, and the dormitories were crowded.
Qin Xiang, Tan Xiu and Mao Yuxiang lived in the same room. Lying on the bed, Qin Xiang sighed, "There are still not enough rooms."
After the New Year, they must hurry up to find a house, whether it is a courtyard house or a building, they must buy one.
Tan Xiu smiled and said, "It will get better slowly, boss. Today you said you would build a family building, and everyone is more excited."
Qin Xiang smiled and looked at her, "Tan Xiu, I will probably transfer the two stores in the provincial capital to my third brother. What are your plans for the future? Will you return to the provincial capital?"
It's okay to keep doing this, but she has to stay in the capital for at least four years, and she can't push everything to her third brother. Moreover, the purchase of goods for the two stores is now handled by the third brother, so she only has to take the money. Instead of this, it is better to sell her share directly to the third brother, so that she can devote herself to the capital stall.
She will tell her third brother about this matter when she returns, but she wants Tan Xiu and He Liping to come over, because she is really short of people, and the provincial capital is getting on the right track. When
she said this, Tan Xiu was surprised and a little undecided, "Let me think about it."
The main reason is that Tan Xiu's parents don't want their daughter to be too far away from home, and Tan Xiu is twenty years old this year, and a girl of this age is also at the age of getting married.
In the past few months, Tan Xiu's parents have not asked Tan Xiu to go back because of the high salary and high subsidies.
But Tan Xiu has made a lot of money following Qin Xiang over the past year, and the relatives around her are all eyeing her and want to introduce her to a partner. The Chinese New Year is a good time to introduce a partner for blind dates, and she will definitely not be able to escape when she goes back.
But for Tan Xiu herself, she wants to follow Qin Xiang. It is good to be in the provincial capital and get a lot of salary, but the development is estimated to be just so-so. But Qin Xiang is different. She is capable and ambitious. If she opens a factory in the future, she will be a veteran-level figure and can go further.
Tan Xiu has made up her mind, so she said to Qin Xiang, "Boss, I want to follow you. When I go back, I will convince my parents."
Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay."
As for He Liping, Qin Xiang was not worried. She came here for her in the first place, and she often called her in the past few months to say that she missed her. It was leaving home anyway, so it shouldn't be a big problem to go back to the provincial capital or the capital.
The only person she felt sorry for was her third brother, ahem, she had already decided on him.
After a good sleep, everyone went their separate ways the next morning. Those who could take a plane got a plane ticket, and those who couldn't get a plane got a train ticket.
Ding Xiang smiled and said, "I've never taken a plane in my life."
"Neither have I." Zhao Wenna was thankful that there was an airport in their provincial capital, otherwise she would have had to take a train back.
Only Ming Chuan Xiu couldn't help but sigh, "Well, I'm just unlucky."
There was no airport where Ming Chuan Xiu lived, so she had to change trains several times to get there, so she could only regret taking the train herself.
At the door, everyone said goodbye.
Li Zhiguo's home was closer to here, so he decided to stay and guard the door.
Qin Xiang didn't say a word of thanks, but directly promised to triple his salary.
Qin Xiang and others went straight to the airport and went home to celebrate the New Year together.
