Chapter 164

She had already given up hope, but suddenly she was notified that she could do it.

What a pleasant surprise.

Qin Xiang nodded hurriedly, "Okay, I'll write it as soon as possible."

But she also knew that even if she could do it, it would have to be after the summer vacation. After all, it would be exam week soon, and after the exams it would be summer vacation, and it would be September when she would be back. To be honest, it was a bit rushed.

It was a pity that she didn't think of this method earlier, and it took Guan Yuping's reminder to think of such a good idea.

But it didn't matter, the nearly two months of summer vacation was just right for people with ideas to design more during the summer vacation.

When Qin Xiang went back and told a few roommates about it, they were very excited.

They would definitely participate, no matter what the result was, they would try to see how big the gap was between their level and that of their seniors.

Qin Xiang quickly finished reviewing her homework, and then took out her notebook to start planning this event.

The purpose, to be more righteous, was to enrich the extracurricular life of classmates and cultivate students' positive learning attitude. Of course, it was also written that this event was sponsored by her, and the requirements were also clearly written. The final right to use all the entries belonged to Qin Xiang. Qin Xiang would pay a certain fee according to the market price and the quality of the design draft. If it was put into production, a sample garment would be given to the designer as a souvenir.

There were many detailed contents in it. Qin Xiang finally finished writing and revising it the day before the exam, and then handed it to the counselor Li Minghui.

Li Minghui's brows were wrinkled so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death. He looked at the terms and said dissatisfiedly, "You are really too mercenary."

Qin Xiang knew what she was talking about about paying money for the design draft.

Qin Xiang didn't lie and said directly, "The reason why I want to hold this design competition is for these design drafts. If it is just a simple competition, what meaning will it have for me except to spend money after I finish my work?"

Seeing that Li Minghui still wanted to preach to her, Qin Xiang said, "Teacher Li, on this issue, I am the boss of the Xianglian brand first, and then a student of the school. I am talking about business. You think it is inappropriate, but other students may not think it is inappropriate. Everyone's conditions are there. Although money cannot measure the value of everyone's design drafts, it can give affirmation to excellent drafts to a certain extent, and it can also help some people solve some practical problems."

Li Minghui's face was not good, "You are making excuses."

"This is a fact." Qin Xiang said helplessly, "If you think it's inappropriate, then I can't do anything. This is the plan, and I won't change it. I'm not short of money, but I won't waste money for nothing."

She wrote very clearly that in addition to the special prize and the first, second and third prizes, there will also be some excellent prizes. Each person can submit multiple design manuscripts, but only one can be selected for the selection. If Qin Xiang is selected for the rest, she will directly pay for the manuscripts.

Qin Xiang didn't think this was something difficult to accept, and she didn't understand why Li Minghui objected.

She was not very familiar with this counselor, and she didn't know him as a person.

She did want to collect manuscripts, but she didn't want to worry about it.

"Then you think about it." Qin Xiang said and left.

Li Minghui looked unhappy, thinking that this student was obsessed with money.

But he had to accept the plan and show it to Professor Qian.

God knows how Qin Xiang told Professor Sun about this. The old man came to him directly and asked him why he opposed such a good idea.

Li Minghui graduated from the last batch of workers, peasants and soldiers. Because of his good performance, he was recommended by his teacher to become a counselor in the school after applying. He has been a counselor for several years. This is the first time I have met a student like Qin Xiang.

To say that he is excellent, he is indeed excellent. He also won the first-class scholarship of the college last semester. I heard from the professor that he is also very talented in designing clothes. But she is talented and restless. A young girl actually runs a self-employed business and becomes a boss. It is not enough to collect design drafts from classmates in private, but she even takes such design competitions into account.

Li Minghui's evaluation of Qin Xiang is "market-oriented".

But there is no way, he still gave the plan to Professor Qian, he said obliquely, "Professor Qian, I think this student's ideological awareness needs to be improved, sometimes the ideas are too narrow."

Hearing this, Professor Qian looked at him in surprise, "Narrow? Aren't you the narrow-minded person?"

Professor Qian's temper is well-known in the school. After returning from overseas, he is very knowledgeable and his achievements in clothing design are second to none in the whole of China. But what is equally famous as his level is his temper, which is very irritable.

So Li Minghui deliberately guided him by saying this.

Professor Qian looked at Li Minghui and snorted, "Do you think she is being servile? People have spent money to hold such a competition, so what if she gets some benefits? Just this point alone, all the winning works can be put into production. Even if there is no prize, I believe all students are willing to do it. What is the ultimate goal of fashion design? Is it to make it look good when it is drawn and placed there? Only when it is implemented in practice, clothes are made, and worn by consumers, can this design reflect its due value."

There were other professors in the office, and they seemed to be accustomed to Professor Qian's anger. They just glanced at him and then did what they were supposed to do.

Li Minghui still felt embarrassed and tried to defend himself, "But she is a student first, her purpose is not pure..."

"Her purpose is not pure, but yours is pure, so you should spend money to hold the event for students and let them implement their designs."

Li Minghui was so embarrassed that his face turned red and he couldn't say a word.

Professor Qian also knew a little about Li Minghui, and he was really responsible, but his young mind was more ancient than his, "Okay, I'll hand it over to the college."

After Li Minghui left, several other professors asked curiously.

They were all professors in related fields, and Professor Qian did not hide it. He told Qin Xiang about his plan and circulated the plan to others.

Another professor who taught color matching laughed and said, "Student Qin Xiang has a very good sensitivity to colors, and her proposal is also very well written. Why doesn't Li Minghui agree?"

"They say Qin Xiang is a sycophant." Professor Qian had a complicated expression on his face. "If sycophancy can give students a chance to show off, then the better."

Several people laughed.

Qin Xiang thought that this time was completely over. Although it was a pity that she had spent so much effort to write the proposal, she had no regrets.

This also gave her an idea. If Tsinghua University disagreed, she would go to the Capital University next door to talk. If Capital University disagreed, she would go to other schools.

Although their school with a fashion design major is second to none, other schools are not bad either. She didn't believe that no one would appreciate her proposal.

But the most important thing now is the final exam.

Because the exam week has begun.

As early as half a month ago, the school had entered the preparation for the final exams, and Qin Xiang was no exception. Now that the exams had begun, she began to look forward to the summer vacation.

Unexpectedly, before Qin Xiang could find someone to contact the Capital University, Professor Qian came to her directly, "I have read your plan, it is very good, but the prize does not need to be set so high."

Qin Xiang was very happy to hear this, and hurriedly said, "Not much, not much, a higher prize can also stimulate everyone's enthusiasm."

She set the special prize to 500 yuan, the first prize to 200 yuan each, the second prize to 100 yuan each, and the third prize to 10 yuan each. There are 20 excellent prizes, no prize, each person will get a notebook. Qin Xiang will pay for all the winning works, and will also give away a set of the finished products.

In other words, the first winners can get double the money.

With such a big offer, Qin Xiang doesn't believe that students will not be tempted.

Although many families studying art are good, not all of them are not short of money.

And as Professor Qian said, the winning designs are put into production and sold on the market. This is a big standard to test the quality of everyone's design works. No one will not be tempted. After all, not everyone has the ability to produce their own designs.

Professor Qian deliberately frowned and said, "Then you have to participate too."

Qin Xiang was stunned and waved his hand, "If I participate myself, others will think I did it on purpose. I won't participate."

But Professor Qian was unhappy, "Then hand in a pair and don't participate in the competition."

Such a competition must be judged by several professors in their profession. Since Professor Qian said so, Qin Xiang had no need to refuse, so she agreed, "Okay, Professor Qian. I will have to trouble you and several other professors with this matter. Thank you in advance."

Professor Qian had a faint smile in his eyes, "We should thank you. You gave the students a chance."

Qin Xiang understood what he meant . Professor Qian sighed and said, "Even if you are graduates of Tsinghua University and are the pride of the heavens, you are still newcomers in your respective units. No matter how talented you are, you have to start from scratch and gain experience in the unit. It is not something that can be done overnight if you want to put your own design into production. So do this boldly, and the people who participate will only be grateful to you."

Qin Xiang was somewhat moved by Professor Qian's words. Being able to get Professor Qian's affirmation and support undoubtedly gave Qin Xiang a shot in the arm. She nodded and said, "Professor Qian, don't worry, I am not someone who is easily shaken. If the effect is good this time, I am willing to support our college to hold such activities every year in the future."

"You are a wise person." Professor Qian smiled, "I guess you don't need the school to assign you a job after graduation, right?"

Qin Xiang nodded, "Indeed. Just like you said, if you are assigned to a unit, you will be controlled by others, and newcomers need to wait for experience to stand out. Instead of this, I would rather be my own boss. I want to set up my own design department and produce clothes for myself."

Professor Qian praised, "This is a good vision. I hope you can keep going. Maybe today's classmates will be your employees in the future."

After talking with Professor Qian, Qin Xiang was indeed a little excited.

Because it was close to summer vacation, after the college reviewed Qin Xiang's plan, the counselors of each class issued a competition about clothing design, and there was no limit on the grade to participate. Especially after the amount of prize money and the treatment after winning were announced, it caused a great sensation in the entire clothing design major.

There was only one class of 30 people in the 85th grade of Fashion Design, but now there are two classes each for the sophomores and juniors, and the number of people is also larger.

To be honest, the number of people for the awards set is already quite a lot. After

the notice was posted, everyone was excited.

Not to mention the prize money after winning, just the fact that they can produce clothes and sell them in the store after winning is enough to attract people.

This is a good thing, and the college did not hide it. It made Qin Xiang's sponsorship clear. Anyway, it is clear, and those who have questions can consult the college, and some people who know Qin Xiang will directly ask Qin Xiang.

"Qin Xiang, will the clothes designed by the winners be put into production?"

Qin Xiang saw that many people were concerned about this issue, so she nodded and said, "Yes, but we are students after all. Even if the design drafts we designed win awards, they still have to be checked by professors, and then they have to be made into patterns. If there are any inappropriate places, they will be adjusted. Of course, if there are any places that need to be modified, I will contact you individually. It happens that summer vacation is coming soon. Everyone can go back and take a look, think about it, and then design better clothing styles."

In order to prevent students from designing clothes that exceed the usual needs, the theme of this clothing design competition is also youth and vitality. Those who can be admitted to Tsinghua University are all excellent students in the country. Qin Xiang is looking forward to the results of this competition.

At this time, someone suddenly said, "Classmate Qin Xiang is really rich and powerful."

Qin Xiang turned to look at the person who spoke, "Classmate Fu Yunmei, I feel that your words are a bit sour. Are you jealous of me for being rich and capable?"

The people around burst into laughter.

Fu Yunmei's face flushed, and she said a little aggrievedly, "I just said it casually, why does classmate Qin Xiang have to be so aggressive. There are a few students in our school who are as good as classmate Qin Xiang, who is their own boss and has opened one store after another. Of course, I have no ability, and you say that I deserve it."

This is interesting. Although Qin Xiang is usually unwilling to pay attention to them, she will not get used to her. She immediately said with a smile, "Listen, what you said, then I also ask you, why did I only say you and not others, isn't it because you are a bad mouth? Ask our professionals, when did I talk to them like this? Sometimes, you should find your own reasons instead of picking trouble here."

"That's right, Fu Yunmei. If you are jealous, just say it directly. I won't blame you. We all envy Qin Xiang's ability. But you should be rewarded according to your ability. If you really think Qin Xiang's approach is not good, just don't join."

Others also said, "That's right, since you are so jealous, you will definitely not join, right?"

Fu Yunmei bit her lip and didn't say whether she would join or not. "I just said it casually. I didn't mean any harm."

"You know whether you are right or not." Qin Xiang left directly after saying that. She had an exam in the afternoon.

The exam will be over on Monday, and summer vacation will be here. Qin Xiang is now based in the capital, and he probably won't go back to the provincial capital unless he has something to do.

In the dormitory, except for Ding Xiang and Guan Yuping who are going to the square to work as tour guides to practice speaking, Zhao Wenna, Meilin, and Ming Chuanxiu have all decided to work in Qin Xiang's store.

Qin Xiang needed people at that time, so she didn't let them stay in one place. She let them choose from several branches.

They had experienced this several times before, so they were not afraid. They chose the right area and went there by car.

Now, except for the last two branches that are under renovation, all the other seven branches have opened. Although they have only been open for a few days, according to the feedback from the store managers, the sales volume is still good.

Qin Xiang also packed her luggage and prepared to go back to her courtyard. As soon as she left the dormitory building, she saw Meng Huaiqing standing downstairs, wearing a white cotton T-shirt, jeans, and short hair. If you didn't pay attention, you would think he was a man.

Qin Xiang smiled and said, "What major is this handsome guy from? What are you doing here? Are you waiting for your girlfriend?"

"Yes, waiting for my girlfriend." Meng Huaiqing stepped forward and took the things in Qin Xiang's hand, saying, "Let's go, comrade Qin Xiang, in order to celebrate your summer vacation, I think it's necessary to have a big meal."

Qin Xiang nodded, "Okay, I'll treat you."

Meng Huaiqing smiled, "Boss Qin is really rich and generous."

"Just so-so, strive to be the third in the country."

The facial features of the two are extremely outstanding, and they are particularly conspicuous when walking side by side.

Thanks to Mr. Meng's two big moves, everyone in the school knew Meng Huaiqing.

Qin Xiang also received a lot of attention.

Of course, there was more envy.

Envy that she became Meng Huaiqing's girlfriend?

Fu Yunmei was standing not far away, listening to her companions' envy of Qin Xiang, and she couldn't help but pursed her lips, "No wonder Qin Xiang can open so many branches and spend so much money on competitions."

The classmates next to her looked at her in surprise, "Why are you like this? If you have something to say, just say it in front of people, why are you talking behind their backs?"

Her companion rolled her eyes, "No wonder even Bei Nannan ignored you. I really couldn't tell before, you are too jealous."

"I didn't." Fu Yunmei explained, "I just said it casually."

Her companion sneered, "You are really good at saying it casually. We all think that Qin Xiang and Mr. Meng are a good match, excellent people match excellent people. Don't say that what Qin Xiang has now is the result of her own efforts. Even if she really relies on Mr. Meng, what does it have to do with us. How could our Tsinghua University produce someone like you."

After that, she turned around and left.

Qin Xiang heard the quarrel not far away, turned around and glanced, and happened to meet Fu Yunmei's eyes, which were somewhat resentful. She probably hated the fact that she embarrassed Fu Yunmei that day.

"What's wrong?" Meng Huaiqing turned around and frowned, "This girl doesn't look good, stay away from her in the future."

Qin Xiang chuckled, "Okay."

The two went out and got in the car. Meng Huaiqing closed the car window and turned on the air conditioner. Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and felt alive again.

"Let's go eat first?" Meng Huaiqing leaned over to fasten her seat belt, and put the loose hair behind her ears when he stood up. "Or should we go back and rest for a while?"

Qin Xiang looked at the man so close to her, afraid that she would lose control, and coughed, "Let's go eat first."

Meng Huaiqing smiled, "If you want, it's not impossible."

Qin Xiang looked at the refreshing boy who suddenly became slick, and immediately rolled her eyes at him, "It's a good idea."

But sometimes people should think beautifully.

Only when you think beautifully, you can do beautifully. After

eating a seafood feast and then eating the clean and refreshing male Meng Huaiqing, Qin Xiang felt that this summer vacation finally had a good start.

After taking a shower, the two sat on the recliners and watched TV. Meng Huaiqing suddenly said, "I'm going back to the provincial capital tomorrow."

Qin Xiang, "What a coincidence, me too."

Ningcheng had signed a new contract during Labor Day, and now it has started to sell. She hasn't been there yet. She said she would go there before, and now that she has a holiday, it's a good time to go and check it out.

But she also wanted to visit a few branches along the way. When Meng Huaiqing heard this, he immediately said that he could drive back.

Qin Xiang was a little puzzled, "Is Boss Meng not busy recently?"

Meng Huaiqing said, "After visiting my uncle in the provincial capital, I will go back to Gangcheng. I will be back as early as November."

After he finished speaking, he invited sincerely, "Then are you interested in going to Gangcheng for a few days?"
