Chapter 155
Mi Hongjun was very worried and said directly, "Let Brother Zhao go with you."
Zhao Ping had already put down his things and came over. He obviously knew something about what happened in the school, and his eyes were full of vigilance.
"No, I can go by myself. We are civilized people, and we are not going to fight. Didn't they say that they would apologize to me publicly?" Qin Xiang said and turned around and went out.
The office of the wholesale city is just west of the wholesale city. It is a two-story building. Usually, the office staff works on the first floor.
Because Qin Xiang's store is doing well, the people in the office also know Qin Xiang, and they usually say hello when they see her.
Moreover, Qin Xiang secretly gave clothes to several people in the office, so when they saw Qin Xiang, they were very enthusiastic.
"Qin Xiang, you're here." The director of the office was a 40-something-year-old lady named Yu. She smiled and said to a clerk, "Go call the boss."
Director Yu pulled Qin Xiang aside and said a little embarrassedly, "Can't you give me some face for what happened today?"
Qin Xiang pretended not to understand, "Sister Yu, didn't you ask him to apologize to me?"
Director Yu froze for a moment, then said, "That's right, but... we all start a business in a wholesale city, it's not good to make a big fuss, right? It's not easy for a female comrade like you to start a business in the capital, why bother with a local tyrant like him."
Qin Xiang's smile faded after hearing this. It turned out that he was waiting for her here.
She had known for a long time that Director Yu was a double-faced person, but she didn't expect him to be so ugly.
She stood up straight and said, "Director Yu, if it is a small matter, I won't care about it. You work here every day, and you probably know that Na Qiang is always picky about me. Do you think this is a small matter? If I were a petty person, I would have hanged myself at the gate of our wholesale city with a hemp rope because of the mischief of their cousins."
Director Yu's face became serious, "You are right. Then apologize."
Seeing that she seemed unhappy, Qin Xiang didn't say anything more.
After a while, Na Qiang's voice came from outside. When he came in and saw Qin Xiang, his face was very long.
"Hey, isn't this Boss Qin? Long time no see." Na Qiang still spoke in a nonchalant manner, and his words made people feel uncomfortable.
Qin Xiang said with a fake smile, "It's not like we haven't seen each other for a long time. Didn't I see you in the school office a while ago? I thought the boss went to school. I heard that you wanted to apologize to me publicly. How, is this your attitude to apologize?"
This kind of person is really used to it. He really thinks that she is easy to bully because of her temper.
She doesn't care about her weird temper again and again. This time, she even worked with Bei Nannan to do something bad. This time it was just to ruin her reputation. What will happen next time?
She will not get used to such a venomous snake in the gutter. Even if the other party is a local snake, she doesn't want to be weak in front of him. Once she is weak, the next time he will shit on her head.
After Qin Xiang finished speaking, the strong face fell directly, and he said gloomily, "Boss Qin is really good-tempered. He hasn't lost his temper for so long."
"It's OK. If someone respects me an inch, I will return it ten feet. If someone bullies me once, I will remember it for the rest of my life." Qin Xiang smiled faintly, not compromising at all. "But Bei Nannan is my classmate after all. I accepted her apology and forgave her. You are her cousin, so you should not be so insolent that you can't even apologize."
He gritted his teeth and said, "Boss Qin is different because he has the support of Captain He. Even though he is divorced, he can still walk between the Hong Kong businessmen and Captain He. Boss Qin is really amazing."
Qin Xiang ignored his weirdness and said lightly, "I, Qin Xiang, do business honestly. The school also investigated the situation, and the office cooperated with the investigation. Since the boss is not satisfied with the results of the investigation, I think we should re-investigate to avoid wrongly accusing the boss. "
She really turned around and left. Director Yu hurriedly called her, "Wait a minute. We are all merchants in our wholesale city. This is not allowed. Harmony brings wealth."
Turning around, Director Yu took Na Qiang aside and whispered something. Na Qiang looked at Qin Xiang with a fearful look, then came to Qin Xiang and said, "I'll apologize to you."
Qin Xiang raised an eyebrow. What did Director Yu say to him, and he agreed so readily.
Since the other party said he wanted to apologize, Qin Xiang couldn't refuse.
Director Yu immediately arranged for someone to go to the first floor of the wholesale city.
Several people came over, and Director Yu said a few words with a loudspeaker, meaning that if there are conflicts between merchants, they must report to the office, and then he asked Na Qiang to apologize without explaining the cause of today's incident.
Qin Xiang was dissatisfied, "Director Yu, if you say that, people will think that I am narrow-minded and cannot tolerate his merchants. Since you apologize, you should explain the reason so that I can forgive you, don't you think so?"
"Yes, yes." Director Yu smiled awkwardly, "It was just that Na Qiang was jealous of Qin Xiang's hot business and made a little mistake. Taking advantage of the fact that there are so many people today, let the boss apologize to Boss Qin."
The crowd was not young or old, because it was the weekend, and the weather was about to get hot, so there were really many individual merchants coming to wholesale.
At this moment, they were all looking at them curiously.
Na Qiang looked extremely embarrassed, this was almost like going out in public, he looked at Qin Xiang fiercely and said, "Boss Qin, I'm sorry, I, Na Qiang, admit that I did something wrong, and I will never do such a thing again."
Qin Xiang smiled helplessly, "It's a good thing that you admit your mistake, I forgive you." She said as if she was joking, "But you'd better be careful with your words and actions in the future. I'm a weak woman starting a business alone in the capital, I'm really scared. Otherwise, if something happens in the future, you might be the first to suspect."
Na Qiang held his breath and said, "Of course, I, Na Qiang, do what I say. I do business based on my ability. I dare not provoke Boss Qin again."
After that, he bowed, and the apology was completed.
Director Yu took the two away, "Okay, let's just let it go, and we'll make money in peace in the future."
Qin Xiang returned to the front room, and Mi Hongjun came over and said worriedly, "I think Na Qiang's face is very ugly, we still have to be careful in the future."
Qin Xiang nodded and did not deny it, "This man is really a villain, just be careful in the future, first work."
Mi Hongjun took people upstairs, Qin Xiang was helping to match clothes on the first floor, and didn't think much about this matter.
But when you really think about it, you can find something wrong. Na Qiang doesn't seem to be willing to apologize, and what did Director Yu say to make Na Qiang give in?
The wholesale city was over at noon, Qin Xiang took a summer dress out, waited for a while at the edge of the square, and saw Director Yu coming out.
"Director Yu." Qin Xiang smiled.
Director Yu also pulled the corner of his mouth, "Boss Qin, haven't you gone back yet?"
"Isn't this equal to the director?" She handed the bag over and said with a smile, "Thank you for your righteous words today, Director Yu, and for upholding justice for our wholesale city. This is my small gift, please accept it."
Director Yu looked down and saw that it was a navy blue dress, suitable for her age, and the material looked smooth and looked good when she wore it.
Her expression moved a lot, and she was willing to say a few more words, "Xiao Qin, I know you have the support of the big boss behind you, but you are still a student after all, and the big boss can't take care of you sometimes, so why bother with a local snake like Qiang?"
Qin Xiang was surprised, could it be that Meng Huaiqing helped?
But she hasn't seen this person for a long time.
Qin Xiang looked uncomfortable, but accepted it humbly. "Sister Yu, I've got it in mind. This time the situation is special. If we don't teach him a lesson, he might find ways to do bad things in the future. It's not that I'm petty."
Director Yu's tone was much softer. "Okay, this is my job responsibility anyway. I can't control what happens behind the scenes. You should be more careful." After
parting with Director Yu, Qin Xiang felt a little complicated.
She had always emphasized that she started her business with her own ability, but she didn't expect that she relied on the power of others one after another. First it was He Chenghua, and then Meng Huaiqing.
It is estimated that the strong man knew that He Chenghua had not come for a long time and knew that they had a quarrel. A big boss like Meng Huaiqing might not be able to handle such a small matter, so he took action.
But who could have thought that Meng Huaiqing, without even showing her face, actually put pressure on the wholesale city and forced Na Qiang to apologize to her.
There were so many individual merchants on the first floor. If they were regular customers, they probably knew the store they were in. Na Qiang had lost face, and no one would dare to do anything for a while, but it was not certain in the future.
However, it was still the same old saying, when the enemy comes, the generals will stop it, and when the water comes, the earth will cover it. Only by constantly improving her own abilities can she stand invincible.
After returning to the store from the wholesale city, Qin Xiang briefly talked to Qin Baotian, who was so angry that he cursed, "This guy really doesn't do his job properly. He only thinks about crooked things. He should be taught a lesson to avoid trouble in the future."
Qin Xiang did not comment, and Qin Baotian also heard the key point, "Why did he agree to apologize so easily?"
Qin Xiang was helpless, "I guess it was pressured by Meng Huaiqing."
But she didn't know how the pressure was applied. She did hear Assistant Liu say that there were several projects in cooperation with the capital city government this year. If it was through the city government, then her little thing would be too big a deal.
Seeing that it was still quite early, Qin Xiang decided to go to Meng Huaiqing's office in the capital to take a look. After all, the other person helped her so much, it would be wrong for her not to thank him.
Thinking about it, Meng Huaiqing didn't need anything, so he cooked four dishes, put on two pairs of chopsticks, and went out with the lunch box.
Meng Huaiqing's office in the capital is close to the city government. Although he knew the address, he had never been there before. He took a taxi and went straight to the place.
The place near the city government is naturally prosperous, and the buildings on the street were also newly built in recent years, and they look impressive.
As a wealthy Hong Kong businessman, Meng Huaiqing actually occupied a three-story building as a temporary office.
When Qin Xiang went over, she was stopped by a security guard. Qin Xiang smiled and said, "I'm looking for Meng Huaiqing."
The security guard glanced at her and said, "Do you have an appointment? Our boss is very busy."
Qin Xiang was stunned. She was careless. She should have called and asked before coming. What a surprise. It was more embarrassing.
"You can't meet our boss without an appointment."
The security guard was very serious. Qin Xiang was helpless. She was about to find a phone booth nearby to make a call. Suddenly, she saw Miao Sheng. Qin Xiang hurriedly called out, "Miao Sheng." Miao Sheng
was stunned and quickly came over. "Miss Qin."
He asked the security guard to open the door and let Qin Xiang in. The security guard panicked, "I'm sorry, I didn't know this lady was your friend."
"It's okay, you're just doing your job, it's fine." Qin Xiang finished speaking and asked Miao Sheng, "Is your boss here?"
"Yes." Miao Sheng led her in and explained, "You came at the right time today. The boss just came back from an inspection trip, but he's in a meeting with someone right now, so you need to wait a moment."
Qin Xiang was not in a hurry, so she nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for him then."
Following Miao Sheng upstairs, Miao Sheng asked her to wait in the reception room and said, "I'll go get busy first."
After a while, a female comrade came over to serve tea and looked at Qin Xiang with curiosity.
Qin Xiang thanked him and took out her notebook to start drawing the design, not interested in the curious looks of others.
The female comrade is an office clerk here. After serving the tea, she excitedly said to several colleagues, "I tell you, that female comrade definitely has a special relationship with the boss. Assistant Miao personally delivered it to the living room and was very polite."
Another one sneered, "It's not about you. Why are you so excited?"
"I am happy. What's it to you? The female comrade is very beautiful and has a strong aura. She looks like a perfect match for our boss."
"Huh, that's not necessarily true."
Pilan curled her lips, "You are just jealous. Don't look at yourself. We are not a good match for the boss. Don't be a toad dreaming about swan meat."
The female comrade who was said was immediately unhappy, "Who do you say is the toad?"
Pilan quickly surrendered, "Okay, okay, it's me, okay?"
But she couldn't help complaining in her heart that she really had no self-awareness at all.
Qin Xiang uses her spare time to design clothes for the summer final exam. It
is natural to design skirts in summer, but it is also important to design skirts that are eye-catching.
After taking nearly two semesters of courses, the more professional knowledge I learn, the more I feel my own shortcomings. Learning is really endless.
At this time, the door was pushed open, and Meng Huaiqing hurried in, his chest still heaving, with a gentle smile on his face, obviously very surprised, "Why are you here?"
Qin Xiang closed the notebook and put it in her bag, "Why, are you not welcome?"
"Welcome." Meng Huaiqing sat next to her, his eyes gentle enough to turn into water, "I just can't believe it. When Miao Sheng told me, I thought he was lying to me."
Qin Xiang raised an eyebrow, "He dares?"
"Don't dare."
Qin Xiang asked him, "Have you had lunch?"
Meng Huaiqing covered his stomach exaggeratedly, "If you didn't say it, I would have forgotten. I haven't had lunch yet. I'm almost hungry and have a stomach disease."
"You deserve it." Qin Xiang took the lunch box and said, "Let's eat together?"
Meng Huaiqing stood up and said, "Let's go to my office, it's spacious."
Qin Xiang looked at the reception room. Isn't it spacious? It's really rich and generous.
The two came out of the reception room. Meng Huaiqing held the lunch box in one hand and introduced his office to Qin Xiang. When he came to the door of the first office, he said, "This is my office."
There were other office staff on the third floor, but they were very rare, probably secretaries or something like that. When
the two walked over, several female comrades and male comrades were frightened.
Meng Huaiqing pushed the door open and invited her in, "Come in, Ms. Qin Xiang."
Qin Xiang went in and looked around, and couldn't help but feel jealous, "Your office is bigger than my storefront. No, I'm jealous."
Moreover, this office is very similar to the more modern CEO offices of later generations. It not only has an office area, but also a lounge area and a reception area. She deliberately went into the lounge area to take a look. It was tidy inside. If the cloakroom was not open and there were Meng Huaiqing's clothes inside, she would absolutely believe that Meng Huaiqing had never lived here.
Thinking about her own room, Qin Xiang blushed a little. Meng
Huaiqing smiled and said, "I usually live here. It's more convenient."
Qin Xiang nodded, "I should be jealous."
"Then give it to you?" Meng Huaiqing joked.
Qin Xiang sighed, "So you're just doing it for your beloved?"
Meng Huaiqing put down the lunch box without knowing when, reached out and held her hand and said, "I know you won't take it even if I give it to you, but I want you to understand how I feel. I'm willing to give away anything I have."
His eyes were particularly gentle, and Qin Xiang almost drowned in this gentleness.
A character like Meng Huaiqing would definitely be the second male lead in an idol drama, but she just couldn't resist this man now.
She smiled and pulled his finger, "I really won't take it. I will work hard for what I want."
Meng Huaiqing was not surprised by her reaction, as if it was a matter of course. If Qin Xiang really accepted it, she might not be herself anymore.
"Eat first, let me see what delicious food you made." Meng Huaiqing took her hand and went to the reception area, put the food on the small table and opened the lunch box.
Because the weather is hot now, I am not afraid of the cold. There are four dishes, two spicy and two light, and an extra portion of millet porridge for Meng Huaiqing, which is very homely.
When I took out the things and put them on the table, there was a knock on the office door. The female comrade came in with two glasses of water. After putting them down, she quickly glanced at the table and then left quickly.
Qin Xiang said meaningfully, "Your employees seem very curious about our relationship."
Meng Huaiqing raised his eyebrows, "Are you jealous?"
Qin Xiang asked back, "How do you know I'm jealous."
Meng Huaiqing sighed regretfully, "It seems I can't see you jealous."
Qin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You're so beautiful."
Looking at Qin Xiang eating a piece of chili pepper in one bite, her nose was sweating, Meng Huaiqing suddenly felt greedy, "How about I try it?"
Qin Xiang stopped her and said vigilantly, "I suggest you not to, otherwise I won't see you if you eat it again and end up in the hospital."
"Then my plan has failed." Meng Huaiqing had no choice but to pick up the spoon and drink a sip of the millet soup, which was still slightly hot and just right for drinking.
Meng Huaiqing said, "You said before that we couldn't eat from the same pot. Can you do that now?"
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Yes, originally I only had to cook two dishes to get by, but now I have to cook two more, which means half the workload."
Meng Huaiqing felt guilty, "Wait for me to hire a nanny for you?"
Qin Xiang shook her head, "I am in school most of the time now, why do I need a nanny? I will hire one that suits me later."
Meng Huaiqing no longer insisted on this issue. Qin Xiang has always been able to arrange such small matters well.
Then Qin Xiang asked, "Did you put pressure on the wholesale city?"
Meng Huaiqing said calmly, "It was just a casual remark."
Qin Xiang sighed, "I always said that I would rely on my own ability to gain a foothold in the capital, but in the end, even a small wholesaler needs your help."
Meng Huaiqing disagreed with this point, "Business needs to rely on the right time, right place, and right people. The right time is the best environment provided by the country in this era. The right place, the capital Although it is not close to the port city, it is the capital of China, the political and cultural center, and a very important transportation hub. Harmony among people is not only about oneself, but also includes one's own network of contacts. Putting aside the fact that we are boyfriend and girlfriend, we are also friends. It is normal and common for us to borrow from each other. Maybe one day I will need to borrow from you. "
Qin Xiang looked at him, his brows were still gentle, but the words he said could not be refuted.
She admitted that what she said was right, and she nodded, "I know, I just feel a little emotional."
"People can't be unhappy. Thinking too much will only make you suffer." Meng Huaiqing said, "Sometimes people have to look at the present more, and being happy in front of them is the most important. It doesn't matter whose power you borrow."
Qin Xiang was stunned and nodded, "Okay."
The two were eating when the office door was suddenly knocked. Meng Huaiqing frowned unconsciously, and Miao Sheng came in from outside, "Boss, Miss Xiang is here. She wants to see you."
