Chapter 167
Qin Xiang saw that Mao Yuxiang looked serious, so he poured her a glass of water and said, "Sit down and talk."
"Thank you, boss." Mao Yuxiang had heard a lot about Qin Xiang when she was in the countryside. Many people said bad things about Qin Xiang behind her back, but she thought Qin Xiang was amazing. Later, she had the opportunity to go to the capital, and her mother told her that she must work hard and cherish the opportunity. So after arriving in the capital, she kept reminding herself to cherish the hard-won opportunity. Later, she was selected to come to Ningcheng, and she did not dare to slack off.
Mao Yuxiang said, "Deputy Director Liu, who is in charge of sales, also traveled with us this time, but I found that he not only went out to find sales channels, but also secretly told the purchasing director to increase the purchase volume, but it was a private purchase. I happened to hear it, so I listened secretly. Although he said he wanted to use it for his own family, who can buy so much fabric for their own family?"
Qin Xiang also felt that this matter was strange, but he didn't know whether it was instructed by He Shengnan or Deputy Director Liu's private behavior. If it was He Shengnan who did it, then Deputy Director Liu shouldn't have told the purchasing director about it when they were out of town. Qin Xiang thought about He Shengnan's character and was more inclined to believe that it was the sales department chief Liu who made the decision without authorization.
Mao Yuxiang has been following them around for the past few months and has seen a lot of things. She couldn't help but worry, "What if they secretly make clothes and sell them, it will also be a loss for us." Qin
Xiang knew this truth, but it was hard to judge whether it was true or not. What if they bought the fabric but didn't make clothes like them? Now was not a good time to pursue He Shengnan, so she could only ask Miao Xiaofeng to strengthen prevention. Once a problem was found, it should be dealt with in time.
This also gave Qin Xiang a hint that she had to accumulate funds as soon as possible to start her own factory, otherwise she would be controlled by others as long as she was doing OEM.
However, Qin Xiang was very satisfied with Mao Yuxiang's sensitivity and carefulness, and praised her, "You have made good observations. You have to continue to observe this matter. If it happens only once, it may be an accident, but if it happens many times, it is not an accident."
Mao Yuxiang nodded, "I understand." Zhao
Ping was still the one to send people off. After returning, Qin Xiang thought about this matter and told Miao Xiaofeng the next day, asking her to observe the status of the workers in the factory. If someone is doing private work outside, they will definitely not be energetic.
Of course, Deputy Director Liu may also let those workers who were not selected do it, but there is no guarantee. They are definitely not as skilled as those who are used to it.
When Miao Xiaofeng heard about this, she knew it was no small matter. She frowned and said, "We still don't have enough manpower here."
Qin Xiang also thought so, "You hold on for now, I'll ask Tan Xiu to send someone over later."
After explaining all this, Qin Xiang invited He Shengnan to dinner. During the meal, she mentioned some possible situations outside intentionally or unintentionally. Although Xiang Yanghong was not mentioned, He Shengnan heard something from Qin Xiang's words.
He Shengnan assured, "Since I, He Shengnan, have signed the contract, I will naturally abide by it and will not do anything to break the contract. Don't worry."
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "I am sure I am confident in Director He's work. Our Xiang Yanghong is not one of those small factories that would do something that would harm others and benefit itself for a few small profits."
Hearing this, He Shengnan smiled, but she was thinking about what Qin Xiang meant by this.
Qin Xiang is not very old, but he has a lot of thoughts. He is not a person who would shoot without a purpose. And the people from the purchasing department have also returned in the past two days, so Qin Xiang must have met Mao Yuxiang, so it is possible that the problem is with their Xiang Yanghong people?
She suddenly remembered that when she went out, Deputy Director Liu of the Sales Department went out with the purchasing director. Could it be Deputy Director Liu's side?
Deputy Director Liu had objections to cooperating with Qin Xiang from the beginning. Did he do something?
He Shengnan was in a state of confusion, but when she looked at Qin Xiang's smiling face, she didn't dare to be careless at all.
She was really kind-hearted, but business was business. If it were her, she probably wouldn't tolerate it.
After the banquet, Qin Xiang went back and was about to return to the provincial capital. He Shengnan went back to the factory and called the director of the purchasing department and Deputy Director Liu with a gloomy face.
The two met at the door and knew that the factory director knew about their affairs after looking at each other.
Sure enough, after entering, He Shengnan didn't beat around the bush and asked the two people directly.
Director Cao said helplessly to Deputy Director Liu, "I told you long ago that this can't be done. Look, you've revealed your true intentions just now."
Unexpectedly, Deputy Director Liu was not worried. "I should have reported this to the Director when I got back."
Then, Deputy Director Liu explained, "Director, it's a waste to only sell Xianglian's clothes in Qinxiang's branch. Let's make a batch secretly and sell them in the south. Our sales department is trying to make a big splash now, and selling in the south will also affect If we don't go to Qin Xiang, it will do us no harm. Even if she knows, she may not stop it."
Hearing him say this, He Shengnan frowned, "Have you forgotten how the contract was signed? Once a breach of contract is found, ten times the amount of the order for that batch will be paid as compensation."
He Shengnan's words made the two look gloomy. Deputy Director Liu frowned, "The contract was signed like that. Our factory produced so many clothes for her. Can she really break up with us? What good will it do her to break up with us?"
"It's not good, but there's no reason for us to take advantage of it for nothing." He Shengnan was a little angry that Deputy Director Liu made the decision without authorization. "That's because you don't know Qin Xiang. If you know her better, you'll know that she's a person who distinguishes between gratitude and resentment and can't tolerate any sand in her eyes. Otherwise, she wouldn't have divorced so decisively and broken up with her mother. She's a person who values love. She was willing to find our factory to do OEM because of the little friendship she had at the time, but once we breached the contract, she would ruthlessly kill us. "We kicked her out."
Seeing that Deputy Director Liu still disagreed, He Shengnan said, "You have been to the city for a meeting, so you should know what the situation is now. How many state-owned factories can't operate? Do you think she won't be able to find other factories to do OEM if she leaves us? There will be many factories that will take the initiative to seek cooperation."
When their factory went to the city for a meeting, they were envied by people from several clothing factories. They thought it was great that their factory had such an opportunity.
"It's a good thing to seek the development of the factory, but it's foolish to do this secretly for the sake of temporary benefits. All factories can imitate secretly, but our factory can't." He Shengnan said firmly, "Just pretend that this incident never happened, and the fabrics brought back will be included in Qin Xiang's fabrics. Don't do anything that will damage the interests of the factory."
Even though she saw that Deputy Director Liu had an ugly face, He Shengnan didn't get used to it, "We We all know how the factory has come so we should not let the factory lose the opportunity to do OEM for a little profit. In addition, I have already reached a second cooperation agreement with Qin Xiang. She will give us a few designs every quarter in the future. We can first restore the production of some people and then slowly promote it in the surrounding areas. What we need to do is long-term development, not short-term benefits. "
After hearing her say this, Deputy Factory Director Liu was not happy but could not say anything.
Why Qin Xiang's clothes are so popular? The quality and style of the clothes are both indispensable. Xiang Yanghong's clothes have always been of very good quality, but they lose in style. Many people would rather buy clothes with lower quality but good style than buy clothes that are durable but not good in style.
The social needs nowadays are different from before.
After explaining this, He Shengnan took the initiative to tell Qin Xiang, but when she got there, she found out that Qin Xiang had already left.
Even though there are only two people here, nothing can be hidden from them. Now that it is discovered and solved in time, there will be no problem. Otherwise, when it is sold later, people will be able to find out where it came from.
This also made He Shengnan more vigilant, and she dared not underestimate the two young girls Miao Xiaofeng and Mao Yuxiang.
Qin Xiang and Zhao Ping took a bus back to the provincial capital. As expected, the third brother Qin Yang was not at home.
And after asking the store manager who was guarding the store, he learned that it was common for the third brother to go out to do decoration for others for ten days or half a month and not come back.
Qin Xiang glanced at the empty house and couldn't help sighing in his heart.
When she came downstairs, she saw Master Ge coming out to cool off. Thinking that he was her girlfriend's uncle after all, Qin Xiang took the initiative to go over and said, "Master Ge, come and cool off."
Master Ge fanned a few times with his big cattail leaf fan and teased, "Hey, isn't this Boss Qin? How can such a busy man bear to come back to our poor place?"
Qin Xiang couldn't help but laugh, "This is not a poor place, this is a Feng Shui treasure land."
She didn't see Meng Huaiqing, and couldn't help feeling disappointed. Master Ge seemed to know what she was thinking and said directly, "Don't look, Meng Huaiqing went back to Gangcheng yesterday."
Qin Xiang nodded, "I know, we came back from the capital together."
"Then why are you still looking there?"
Qin Xiang smiled, "Aren't you thinking about inviting you to dinner together? Are you willing to do me the honor?"
"Who wouldn't go if there's food?" Grandpa Ge stopped fanning and went back to put down his things and said, "Let's walk."
The two didn't walk far before sitting down in a small shop near the square. Grandpa Ge ordered four dishes and two bottles of beer, "It's popular to drink this now, let's have some, the alcohol content is not high."
Qin Xiang saw that it was Qingshi beer and couldn't help but smile, "Okay, I'll drink two glasses with you."
The wine was poured, and the fried dishes were not served yet, but the old vinegar peanuts were served first.
Grandpa Ge ate the peanuts and then asked, "You two have been dating for half a year, right?"
Qin Xiang nodded, "Yes, half a year. It's really fast."
But thinking carefully, they have been in love for half a year. Although they are both in the capital, they are busy with their own things, so they don't have many opportunities to meet.
That's why Qin Xiang thinks this is a good relationship. He's handsome and not clingy. Occasionally, we can just go out on a date to spice up our lives. Instead of being together every day, you complain that I'm too busy and I complain that you don't have time to accompany me. That's boring and annoying.
But Ge Da Ye is different. He's older and has more things to consider.
The old man looked at her, "Don't you plan to get married?"
Qin Xiang did not hide it and shook her head directly, "No plan."
Ge Da Ye choked and nodded immediately, "Forget it, I can't control your business, let him suffer."
Qin Xiang laughed and picked up the wine glass, "Come on, Da Ye, let's have a drink."
The two drank a glass each. Unexpectedly, the beer was chilled with cold water. The slight coolness went down the throat and the stomach was quite comfortable, "It tastes good."
When other dishes came, the two just drank and ate, and talked about family matters. Ge Da Ye never mentioned marriage.
This also made Qin Xiang relieved, otherwise the wine would not be happy.
In fact, Qin Xiang was also very curious, such as why Ge Da Ye was alone.
However, Qin Xiang was curious but did not ask. The two people, who were several decades older than him, drank and ate.
After finishing the wine and eating a little, the old man and his wife went out and saw Qin Juan and Qin Nian coming.
"Are you done eating? I was planning to have you eat at my place." Qin Juan came over with a smile and helped Qin Xiang, "Can you walk?"
"I drank two glasses of beer in total, all of which were drunk by Master Ge." Qin Xiang did not drink too much. Two glasses of beer were nothing. Master Ge had a good alcohol tolerance and his face was normal after drinking.
A few people came out, and Qin Juan said, "Let's go to my place. Nian Nian has been missing you for a long time."
Qin Xiang had
some free time, so she nodded and said, "Okay, let's go for a walk." Then she picked up Nian Nian and said, "Let's go."
Qin Nian giggled and hugged Qin Xiang's neck and said, "Auntie, hurry up."
Qin Xiang quickened her pace, and the little girl laughed even more happily.
When the two arrived at the yard where Qin Juan lived, Aunt Liu came out of the house and said in surprise, "Sister Qin is here."
Qin Xiang called someone and followed Qin Juan upstairs, where they met an old lady who came up and said, "Qin Juan, what have you thought about what I told you last time?"
When Qin Juan saw the old lady, her face changed immediately, "Aunt, I said, I won't look for a partner."
Seeing that the old lady wanted to persuade her again, Qin Juan said with a bad face, "Aunt, have you forgotten what happened before?"
This was referring to the incident where the factory director's brother-in-law was courteous to Qin Juan, but the other party's sister came to the house as a result.
The old lady's face changed and she said with a wry smile, "It's been such a long time since then. How can you, a woman with a child, not get married?"
"You're not my mother. It's none of your business whether I get married or not, right?" Qin Juan was really annoyed by this man and said something unpleasant. "Don't bother. I say I don't want to look for someone, so don't waste your time on me."
Qin Juan opened the door, pulled her sister into the house, and then slammed the door.
Qin Xiang asked suspiciously, "There are so many such things?"
Qin Juan nodded and said indifferently, "Don't pay attention to them, they are idle all day." Fearing that Qin Xiang would worry, Qin Juan said again, "It's okay, I'm not afraid of them."
Qin Nian, who was held by Qin Xiang, also said, "Mom is super awesome."
Hearing this, Qin Xiang laughed and kissed her on the face, "Okay, your mom is super awesome."
Qin Juan also laughed, "You play with her for a while, I'll go cook, you eat a little more."
Qin Juan is good at cooking, and soon made four dishes, not too big, just right for three people.
While eating, Qin Juan talked about her current business, and when she asked, she found out that someone was hired to look after the store at the night market. Now she only needs to run between the store and the night market every day, which is just enough time to accompany Nian Nian.
Qin Xiang was completely relieved to see that her fourth sister was talking so clearly.
As expected, a woman is strong as a mother, and she really supported the family for Nian Nian.
Qin Xiang did not go back at night, and stayed at Qin Juan's place.
The next day, Zhao Ping came to pick her up, and then the two took a car to the airport and boarded a plane back to the capital.
In Qinjiatun, Tian Zhongmei and Lian Fengying also had a huge quarrel.
Tian Zhongmei insisted that Lian Fengying take them to the capital to join Qin Xiang, but Lian Fengying refused, feeling ashamed.
In the past six months, Tian Zhongmei and Qin Jun have been through a lot, but they have not been able to make any money. They can't sell Cai, and they can't sell all the eggs. Not to mention making money, not losing money is considered good.
So the couple set their sights on Qin Xiang. After all, several people in the village worked for Qin Xiang, and the two of them guessed that she made a lot of money. So they wanted to go to the capital to find Qin Xiang. If they went there, they were brothers and sisters. Could Qin Xiang really get them away?
But Lian Fengying refused to go, especially since she and Qin Baotian were divorced. She felt ashamed. She didn't go out except for work. When she went out, she felt that others pointed at her. She didn't want to leave their village in this life, let alone go to the capital.
"No, I won't go anyway. I'll die here."
Tanaka Mei and Qin Jun were very angry.
They wanted to go by themselves, but when they thought of the time when they were arrested and taken to the police station in the county, they didn't dare to go.
In the evening, the village scoundrel suddenly came to Qin Jun, "Qin Jun, let me tell you, someone went to the provincial capital today, and someone saw your younger sister. Oh, that style, and there was a man following behind her. I wonder if it was your brother-in-law or someone else."
Qin Xiang's mind became active again when he heard this, and he said to Tanaka Mei, "We can't go to the capital, so let's go to the provincial capital. Even if we can't meet the younger sister, isn't the fourth sister there? She is a woman, just right for us to help her."
The couple hit it off, packed up their things, and went to the provincial capital without taking the children.
