Chapter 158
Qin Xiang was stunned, and nodded, "A bit like."
But getting married is unlikely.
So, it's enough to be like.
Meng Huaiqing said this as if he was just talking casually, and he didn't bother about it anymore.
At half past six, Meng Huaiqing finally prepared the side dishes.
Tender beef steak, chopped chicken, fresh ribs, and a carp weighing about one pound.
The rest were all green leafy vegetables. The chicken was obviously chopped before coming, and so were the ribs. It's hard to imagine that such a small amount of food took so long to prepare.
She thought of last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, when Mi Hongjun seemed to have helped.
No wonder.
Qin Xiang went over, and Meng Huaiqing took another apron, "Wait a minute, I'll put it on you."
Meng Huaiqing hung the apron around Qin Xiang's neck first, stretched out his long arms, and stretched the straps behind him.
The two faced each other, and it was like hugging each other.
Meng Huaiqing froze for a moment and looked up at her. Qin Xiang found it interesting and lowered her head to kiss him on the lips.
The man's lips were not as warm as his, but instead had a hint of coolness.
The straps of the apron had fallen off a long time ago, and Meng Huaiqing held Qin Xiang's face and deepened the kiss.
After a while, Meng Huaiqing let go of her, and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's cook first."
What after cooking?
Qin Xiang smiled and said nothing, put on the apron herself, and found that Meng Huaiqing went to the bathroom.
It can't be...
I don't blame her for thinking too much.
A normal man?
Yeah, pretty good.
Qin Xiang hummed happily, turned on the gas stove, stewed fish in one pot and fried chicken in another. Spicy chicken is an indispensable dish in Qin Xiang's life, so she simply took out half to make spicy chicken, and stewed the other half with soaked mushrooms on a briquette stove over low heat.
There were a lot of dishes for the two of them, but fortunately the quantity was not large, filling the entire table.
Before Qin Xiang could stand up, Meng Huaiqing had already taken out a bottle of red wine and two high-foot glasses from a box he brought.
Qin Xiang was happy, "You should drink white wine with this kind of Chinese food."
Meng Huaiqing hesitated, "You can drink a little red wine, but I dare not drink white wine."
He pointed to the steak on the table, "Isn't there a
Western meal here?" Well, a combination of Chinese and Western.
Meng Huaiqing didn't sober up, he just opened the bottle and poured it, "Let's just drink a little bit for show, no one should drink too much."
Qin Xiang teased him, "Are you afraid that drinking will cause trouble?"
"If you want." Meng Huaiqing didn't say it, but expressed his meaning with actions.
The two of them had a tacit understanding.
"Eat."
Qin Xiang went for the spicy chicken, Meng Huaiqing was a little jealous, "It's a pity it's too spicy."
"You can eat whatever you want when your stomach is better."
But as long as it's not too spicy, Meng Huaiqing's stomach is not that fragile.
Eat and drink, occasionally clink glasses.
A meal lasted from seven to more than eight.
Meng Huaiqing was responsible for cleaning up after the meal, and Qin Xiang went to take a shower.
When he came out, he saw Meng Huaiqing standing there in a tangle.
"I'll go out for a while."
After saying that, he ran away.
Qin Xiang was puzzled. After a while, Meng Huaiqing came back with a bag, "Can I borrow your bathroom? I smell."
Qin Xiang did not expose him and let him go.
Adults probably know what will happen.
And she is an experienced driver.
What happened later was logical. After Meng Huaiqing came out, the two of them kissed and went to the bedroom without knowing who took the initiative.
Well, wait.
That's what happens between men and women.
Although Meng Huaiqing has a bad stomach, his figure is really top-notch. Qin Xiang is very satisfied with all aspects.
But Meng Huaiqing didn't know how long he had been holding it in, and dragged Qin Xiang to the middle of the night. Fortunately , it was
the weekend the next day, otherwise he would definitely not get up.
When he woke up in the morning, it was already bright outside.
Meng Huaiqing, who was busy with work, was adjusting his tie. When he saw her wake up, he came over and gave her a morning kiss, "Good morning, honey."
After all, they had been in close contact, and the distance between them was much closer.
Meng Huaiqing's eyes and eyebrows were full of excitement.
Qin Xiang hummed and climbed up. The silk suspenders she was wearing accidentally slipped off her shoulders. She turned around and found Meng Huaiqing looking at her. Qin Xiang raised her eyebrows, "Boss Meng is not going to work?"
"Go." Meng Huaiqing stood there and restrained himself for a while, but quickly took off his coat and began to untie his belt, "But I think Miss Qin doesn't seem to be satisfied yet."
Before Qin Xiang could retort, he had already kissed her.
There was no more words to say.
He did that once during the day.
He used several small umbrellas in the trash can. OK,
we'll all be busy from now on, and I don't know when we'll meet next time, so let's leave it at that.
After Meng Huaiqing left, Qin Xiang simply didn't get up, and fell asleep until noon. She went out for lunch before going to the storefront.
Fortunately, everyone else thought she was just out of school, and didn't ask any questions.
Otherwise, it would be embarrassing.
Two days before May Day, Miao Sheng delivered the plane tickets to the school, and the people in the dormitory couldn't help but sigh, "Another plane ride, oh."
Qin Xiang smiled, "Continue to work for me during the summer vacation, and I'll buy you a ticket later."
Ding Xiang was numb, "I won't go back during the summer vacation. I've told my family that I need to make money."
Qin Xiang nodded, "Very good, the summer vacation is long, you can consider going to my store or being a tutor, you can also go to the flag-raising square to be a tour guide to practice spoken English."
"Learn English?" Ding Xiang frowned, "Do we need to learn English?"
Others also looked over, Qin Xiang didn't say anything, Guan Yuping explained, "Of course it is necessary to learn English. How can you read foreign magazines without English? Do you think just looking at pictures will be enough? We have to understand some foreign cultures, which is good for us. And what if someone becomes an international design master in the future and asks you to go abroad to participate in a competition, but your English is not good, wouldn't that be embarrassing?"
Meilin shook her head, "Can I become an international master?"
"You're hopeless." Guan Yuping glared at her angrily. Ming Chuanxiu smiled and said, "I think what Yuping said is quite right. I heard that in the third year of college, the school will organize students to participate in some domestic and international fashion design competitions. If you get good results in domestic design competitions, you may get the opportunity to study abroad. If we are lucky enough to be selected, but we can't even open our mouths when we get there, then it would be a waste of time."
"Then we have to study hard."
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Didn't you say that we were going to the Great Wall to see the fashion exhibition organized by foreigners? How can we listen to people communicating if we don't know English. Although we all got good English scores in the college entrance examination, it is still difficult to communicate with people in hoarse English. We still need to contact more. The sophomores and juniors should have experience, so you can learn more from them then."
Several people nodded hurriedly.
The ticket was bought for 6pm on April 30th. It would take about two hours to get to the provincial capital. When she left home early, she saw Miao Sheng driving to pick her up. Qin Xiang didn't make any noise. She got on the car, gave Miao Sheng the ticket money and thanked him.
Miao Sheng said, "Miss Qin, I've always owed you an apology. I hope you can forgive my previous recklessness."
Qin Xiang was stunned, then smiled and said, "I forgot it a long time ago, so you don't have to keep it in mind."
Qin Xiang noticed during the Chinese New Year that Miao Sheng was much calmer and spoke less than before. The young man who used to like to chatter endlessly and was somewhat festive seemed to have grown up all of a sudden.
But Qin Xiang thought it was good this way.
She didn't want to have a childhood friend who was picky instead of Meng Huaiqing's parents being picky.
Although it didn't have much impact on her, her mood was always not beautiful.
This time, Qin Xiang brought Miao Xiaofeng and Zhao Ping with him to Ningcheng. Although Miao Xiaofeng was not good at controlling the overall situation, he was remarkable in other aspects. Moreover, after coming to the capital with Qin Xiang, he was very energetic and could no longer be seen in his previous state.
Miao Xiaofeng was extremely excited when she learned that she would go on a business trip with Qin Xiang. As soon as she got in the car, she assured Qin Xiang, "Boss, I will do whatever you ask me to do and will never embarrass you."
Qin Xiang looked at her excitement and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "We may not be able to reach an agreement this time, but I just want to take you out to see the world. If we can reach an agreement, I will probably keep you here for a while so that you can control the product quality for me. This is a very important step. I will leave this most important step to you."
As a result, Miao Xiaofeng was even more excited, and tears fell down her face. "Boss, "Boss, I will definitely not embarrass you."
Qin Xiang hurriedly took a piece of paper to wipe her face, "I brought you here because you are considerate, and Tan Xiu can't compare to you in this respect. What I want to discuss this time is the issue of OEM. If the deal is reached, most of the goods of our stores will be produced in this factory. The quality of the products will directly affect the business of my stall. Although the current deputy factory director is He Liping's aunt, she is not my person after all, so I am not completely assured. You are my eyes here, keep an eye on them, and report any problems in time."
"I understand."
Listening to what the two said, Miao Sheng couldn't help but glance at Qin Xiang from the rearview mirror.
He felt that this woman was really amazing, she understood the employees very well, and was very good at grasping the employees' psychology and making them work hard to make progress.
When they arrived at the airport, Miao Sheng was busy again. Qin Xiang hurriedly said, "You go back and have a rest. Sorry to trouble you today. We will take care of the rest ourselves."
"Okay, there is someone with Mr. Ge in the provincial capital. He has arranged to buy a flight ticket for you on the 3rd. You can just go to him to get it when the time comes." After saying that, Miao Sheng nodded slightly, turned around and drove away.
After getting on the plane, Miao Xiaofeng was still excited. Qin Xiang did not know whether to laugh or cry. "It's still early to get there. Get some sleep first and refresh yourself."
The nearly two-hour plane arrived quickly. Zhao Ping got off the plane and staggered, which made Miao Xiaofeng laugh. "Are you doing drunken boxing?"
Zhao Ping breathed a sigh of relief. "You don't understand."
It was already late, and they had to go to Ningcheng early tomorrow morning. Qin Xiang asked Miao Xiaofeng to go home, and said to Zhao Ping, "Ride the tricycle in the store to go back and check on your family later. Come over early tomorrow morning and we'll go to Ningcheng."
Zhao Ping was very grateful when he heard this. He went to the store, drove the tricycle home.
Qin Xiang looked at Grandpa Ge under the tree and said with a smile, "Grandpa, are you enjoying the cool air again? It's still a little early now."
"What do you mean early? I'm dying of sunburn during the day." Grandpa Ge waved at Qin Xiang after saying that, "How are you and that boy?"
Qin Xiang was amused and deliberately asked, "Who is that boy?"
Grandpa Ge rolled his eyes, "You kid, you're playing a stupid trick on me, it's Meng Huaiqing, I know you two are dating."
"Not bad." Qin Xiang was afraid that the old man would ask her when she would get married, so she hurried inside, "I'm going back to rest. I'm so tired."
The store was still busy at this time, so Qin Xiang asked about the situation in Xu Xiaoqing's store and went upstairs to rest.
The third brother was not there. It was said that the third brother would go out and sleep at night, and he didn't care about the store at other times.
Qin Xiang had a feeling that after a while, the third brother might just move out.
Qin Xiang felt a little emotional, but there was nothing she could do about it, as they would have to separate someday.
Qin Xiang didn't know when the third brother would come back at night, so she came out in a daze, took a look, and went back to sleep.
At dawn, when she got up, Qin Yang had already prepared breakfast, "Eat, and then I'll send you to Ningcheng."
Qin Xiang was curious, "How will you send you?"
"I borrowed a car to send you there, but I'm worried about you all going there." Qin Yang said as he handed her the chopsticks.
Qin Xiang was eating and asked him, "Will this not delay your work?"
"No, the construction period has been set, and the people have been arranged. I don't have to be there every day to watch." Qin Yang said as he took a big bite of the bun, looking very confident about the matter.
After breakfast, Miao Xiaofeng and Zhao Ping also arrived, and the four of them set off straight to Ningcheng.
At this time, the new leadership team of Ningcheng Xiangyanghong Garment Factory was also holding its first collective meeting.
Some of the factory leaders sitting below were transferred from other units, and some were promoted from the workshop, but no one dared to look down on the woman sitting at the top.
It took less than half a month to overthrow almost all of the original leadership team.
Some were fired, and some were dismissed.
Some were even about to retire, but they met with misfortune at this juncture.
At this time, He Shengnan no longer cared about other people's opinions. She only knew that she had the support of almost all the workers to sit in this position.
He Shengnan put away her usual friendly smile and replaced it with a serious expression. "Today is our first plenary meeting. There are new leaders and worker representatives present. What I want to say is that a familiar guest will come today and will bring new vitality to our factory. Anyone who tries to make trouble for me at this critical moment is going against me, He Shengnan, and the vast majority of the working class. We must put aside our high-handedness and be serious. Think about how to expand the factory, so that the workers can receive wages and their families can fill their stomachs. Instead of occupying the position for their own selfishness and to reduce their own troubles, they seek their own benefits. "
Her voice was sonorous and powerful, and she was deaf, "If anyone dares to do this, then go ahead and try. If I, He Shengnan, dare to bring them down, I will also bring you down."
