Chapter 156
Meng Huaiqing's eyes suddenly became unhappy, "Miao Sheng, do you want to go back to Hong Kong City again?"
"I'll go out and deal with it now." Miao Sheng quickly replied, and he had already closed the door and left.
When Qin Xiang opened the door, he could only hear faint voices. Qin Xiang was curious, "Why don't you go to meet the guests first?"
"No, eat first." Meng Huaiqing drank the millet porridge slowly, and then ate the rice with vegetables, with a calm expression.
Seeing Qin Xiang looking at him curiously, Meng Huaiqing reached out and knocked her head, "Don't think about it."
Qin Xiang rolled her eyes, "My head is precious, don't knock it."
Meng Huaiqing laughed and was very happy when he heard it, "Then knock it back?"
As he said that, he moved his head closer.
Qin Xiang felt that the two of them were flirting, so she smiled and lowered her head to eat, "Eat, who is so free to talk to you?"
Since the big boss is not in a hurry, why should Qin Xiang be in a hurry? Just eat slowly.
Outside the office, Miao Sheng said politely to Xiang Li, "Miss Xiang, our boss has guests, so it is not convenient to see you for the time being. How about you come another day?"
Xiang Li frowned and looked at the closed door, "Didn't the meeting end a long time ago? I heard a woman's voice?"
Miao Sheng kept silent. Assistant Liu was right. The more he talked, the more wrong he was. It's better not to make decisions on his own. Even if their relationship is good, it is still a relationship between a boss and a subordinate. The old lady didn't raise him to let him take care of the boss's business.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Xiang Li was more certain of the truth, staring at the door, "Your boss... has a girlfriend?"
Miao Sheng didn't deny it, Xiang Li's face became more embarrassed, she thought Meng Huaiqing was just trying to fool her, after all, she had never seen Meng Huaiqing care about any woman for so long.
She was a little anxious standing there, but she was really unwilling to leave now, so she sat there and waited.
Miao Sheng glanced at his watch, "I still have things to do, I'll go first."
After the people left, Xiang Li looked at the secretaries in the secretariat and asked, "What does your boss's girlfriend look like?"
Several female comrades looked at each other, and one of them pointed at Pi Lan and said, "She went in to deliver water, you know what she looks like."
Xiang Li looked at Pi Lan, "Did you see it?"
Pi Lan didn't know whether to say it or not, and hesitated and said, "Very beautiful, very elegant."
There was nothing else.
Xiang Li was even more unwilling to leave.
In the office, after the two finished their meal, Meng Huaiqing took the initiative to wash the lunch boxes, put the food back in the lunch boxes, and said, "Do you want to go around the office?"
Qin Xiang shook her head, "No, you still have to meet guests, I'm going back first."
"I'll take you." Meng Huaiqing led Qin Xiang out by the hand, and everyone outside looked at them.
A woman with big wavy hair and a red dress sat there and looked at Qin Xiang in astonishment.
Qin Xiang nodded politely and said to Meng Huaiqing, "I can go back by myself."
Meng Huaiqing still insisted stubbornly, "I'll take you back, there's no rush."
After that, Meng Huaiqing led Qin Xiang downstairs as if no one was around.
Xiang Li looked at the two people leaning against each other intimately, and she felt so jealous that she felt like she was soaked in a vinegar pot. She had been pursuing him for so long, but Meng Huaiqing had never given her a good face, and now he was using it on this woman.
After going downstairs, Qin Xiang sighed, "That female comrade is so beautiful."
What's rare is that she also has a good temperament.
Meng Huaiqing opened the passenger door to let her in, and got into the driver's seat before saying, "She is the daughter of a leader in the city. She returned from studying abroad for a few years. I have met her twice, and she has nothing to do with me."
Without waiting for Qin Xiang to speak, Meng Huaiqing said, "There will be many women like this. I don't care and it won't matter. I hope you can trust me."
Qin Xiang looked at him and saw the worry in his eyes. She understood that Meng Huaiqing was worried that she would misunderstand.
At this moment, Qin Xiang suddenly realized that perhaps in this relationship, Meng Huaiqing was more serious and caring than her.
She said seriously, "Huaiqing, I do trust you. But like I said, I will not stop you from meeting other women. If you have other lovers, tell me and we can separate peacefully. Don't do anything because of me."
Meng Huaiqing pursed her lips, "Do you know how hurtful this is?"
Hurtful?
Of course it is hurtful, but it is also what she really thinks.
She sighed, "Of course, while our relationship continues, I hope you can stick to your heart. Let me put it another way. If one day you are dissatisfied with me, we will separate and contact other suitable objects respectively. Don't drag it out because you are embarrassed, okay?"
Meng Huaiqing nodded, "Okay."
But her mood suddenly became a little bad.
Fortunately, Meng Huaiqing was very good at controlling his emotions, and it didn't affect his driving, otherwise Qin Xiang would be worried that she would be thrown directly on the road or fly out.
The car drove smoothly to the storefront. After parking, Qin Xiang got out of the car, but her hand was held by Meng Huaiqing. Qin Xiang looked over, "What's wrong?"
Meng Huaiqing looked at her seriously and said, "I'm not a person who is not loyal in love. Even if we don't plan to get married for the time being, it's the same for me."
Looking at his serious expression, Qin Xiang couldn't help but think of his complicated life experience. Perhaps his parents' marriage made him have a grudge.
She realized that the words she said on the road hurt Meng Huaiqing a little.
She looked at him, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."
Meng Huaiqing smiled, "I know that's not what you meant. You don't feel secure about marriage and love, I know that, and I don't expect you to trust me, I just hope you can be a little more sincere."
Qin Xiang smiled and leaned over, kissing him on the face, "Isn't that sincere enough?"
She was helpless, "I'm sorry, I made you feel uneasy, I won't do that again in the future." She reached out and stroked his slender fingers, her voice a little floating, "Sometimes I don't know what I'm thinking, sometimes I think it's okay to just fall in love, and sometimes I think I should take it seriously. Is it very torn?"
Meng Huaiqing's eyes softened, "No, you are still you. Each of us will have such troubles. I can't say anything else, time will prove everything."
Qin Xiang was startled. She got out of the car and bent down to look at him. "I have to go back to school soon. Do you mind taking me to school?"
Meng Huaiqing smiled and said, "I'd love to." She
went upstairs to put her things down. When she came down to get in the car, she unexpectedly saw a car not far away. It seemed to notice her gaze and the window was quickly closed.
However, Qin Xiang still saw a strand of curly hair in a flash.
She got in the car and said, "We seem to be followed."
Meng Huaiqing glanced in the rearview mirror and said, "I'll take care of it. I won't let anyone harass you."
Qin Xiang did not doubt it and said, "Okay."
After sending her to the school gate, Meng Huaiqing got out of the car and took Qin Xiang back to the dormitory.
Qin Xiang asked, "Are you not busy this afternoon?"
Meng Huaiqing said as a matter of course, "No matter how busy I am, I have to send my girlfriend off."
Qin Xiang raised an eyebrow, "Do you think this sentence is a bit greasy?"
"Greasy?" Meng Huaiqing frowned, his beautiful eyebrows pressed together tightly, and he seemed to be very troubled why there would be such a comment.
On Sunday afternoon, there were quite a lot of students in the school. A celebrity like Meng Huaiqing was almost the focus of the crowd wherever he went. Not to mention how shocking his speech was at the time.
Qin Xiang also received a lot of envious looks.
There is no doubt that there will be another rumor after today.
The campus of Tsinghua University is not small, and the two slowly returned to the dormitory building. Qin Xiang said, "According to the law, I should invite you in now, but the environment does not allow it. So, Mr. Meng, see you later."
The date was not long, Meng Huaiqing felt a little regretful, "Can I come to the school to find you when I am free?"
Qin Xiang looked around, "Sure, it doesn't make much difference whether I come or not."
It is estimated that the people in the school have already tacitly accepted that she and Meng Huaiqing have some hidden relationship.
Meng Huaiqing was in a much better mood, "Go back and rest."
He paused, "By the way, I heard that your courtyard has been tidied. Remember to invite me when you move. I heard that you need to warm up the pot there?"
Qin Xiang laughed, "Yes, but it will probably be summer vacation before you move there, so there is no rush."
Waving hands with him upstairs, Qin Xiang could hear people talking about Meng Huaiqing all the way.
It is normal for such a man to be liked by others. Since he said he would handle it himself, she would not interfere.
She did not want to get involved in troublesome matters.
After the date, Qin Xiang had to busy herself with other things. After the Qingming Festival, the weather was getting hotter day by day, and long sleeves could no longer be worn in the capital.
Because of what happened last time, Bei Nannan was very depressed. It would take her a long time to recover from the blow of the serious warning.
Qin Xiang did not sympathize with her. She was in college, not a child, and should be responsible for her own behavior.
The spring styles in the store gradually decreased, and the summer styles gradually increased.
Dingxiang and others began to go to the store to study again.
As for Xiang Yanghong, who she had been paying attention to, there was no clear change yet. She still had to wait, but it was a pity that summer, the peak season for clothing sales, was wasted.
But there is still winter, which is also a peak season. It would be good to make more goods before the New Year.
In mid-May, Qin Xiang contacted Guan Zhibin and ordered another batch of goods.
Guan Zhibin said happily, "By the way, my cousin is going to be promoted soon."
Qin Xiang did not feel happy after hearing this, but her heart sank.
The smooth cooperation between her and Guan Zhibin has a lot to do with Guan Zhihong. After all, it is related to the issue of her cousin making money, and she has signed a contract with the factory, so it is understandable that everything is biased towards her.
But it is hard to say if there is a change of leader. Even if Guan Zhihong is promoted and can manage the factory's affairs, she cannot directly participate in it.
Then it is hard to say whether she can continue to be given preferential activities and support after the subsequent change of leader.
But Qin Xiang couldn't say that at this time, so he just said, "Congratulations, and help bring my new ideas. Director Guan is very capable, so he deserves a promotion."
Guan Zhibin smiled, "But not so soon, my cousin just got wind of it."
He paused, "I think you understand what I mean, right?"
Qin Xiang didn't say anything, Guan Zhibin sighed, "Promotion is indeed a good thing for him, but not necessarily for us. I don't want to break this line, but you have to be prepared for a price increase later. This is also my fault. I won't participate in the commission distribution when you get goods from the factory in the future, so that your costs can be reduced and it won't be too difficult."
Qin Xiang frowned, "Are you going to break up with me?"
"There's nothing we can do about it." Guan Zhibin said helplessly, "My cousin is no longer there. Even if others give me face, it's just that. It's better for you to have more people deal with the factory and open up the way. I can't take this money anymore. I won't make money that I shouldn't make."
Qin Xiang listened to him and understood that Guan Zhibin was telling the truth. It was rare that after more than a year of cooperation, Guan Zhibin was able to maintain his composure. This was the only thing that comforted her.
The worries of the past were about to become a reality. Now the most urgent thing was to find a new supplier, or as Guan Zhibin said, before Guan Zhihong left, she would go there or have someone go there to clear the way, whether it was by spending money or things.
Or, she could just go directly to the clothing factory in the capital and sign a contract for OEM production.
Of course, Ningcheng Xiangyanghong Garment Factory is also an option, but the premise is that the leader of the factory must be changed.
If Deputy Factory Director He is replaced, her business can also be guaranteed.
Because she didn't know when Guan Zhihong would be promoted, Qin Xiang simply ordered more goods this time, and hurriedly asked Guan Zhibin to sign more supply agreements with Xiang Yanghong, paying first, and then producing and supplying goods in succession. The agreement was written
in black and white with the official seal and mailed to Qin Xiang, so that even if the leader of the factory wanted to raise the price for her in the future, he would have to wait until these goods were supplied.
This is how seasonal things are, order autumn and winter styles in the summer.
Qin Xiang ordered a lot, paid the deposit, and had one less dollar in funds.
But the store has been open for almost a year, and the business has been good. The accumulated funds are not a small amount.
The bank loan has been repaid long ago. She thought about the rest and then called Ningcheng directly.
"Deputy Director He, I haven't contacted you for a long time. Do you miss me?"
