Chapter 183

Jiang Licheng looked at the newspaper and threw it directly at Jiang Yuqiang. "Now the person is obviously in the hands of the Chen family. Now we can only pray that you don't leave any handle in the hands of the other party, otherwise you are finished."

Jiang Yuqiang didn't dare to say a word, "No, there is definitely no handle."

However, not long after these words fell, Qin Xiang and Meng Huaiqing also arrived in the capital, and the Chen family summoned a lot of reporters to a public place and publicly accepted interviews from reporters.

The gay man who was exposed before also appeared on the scene and accepted interviews from reporters.

Not only did he tell the love and hatred between him and Jiang Yuqiang, but he also took out a stack of photos of the two of them in love and threw them in the faces of the public.

Jiang Yuqiang and the gay man became a fact, and then the man said other things.

He said that he was kidnapped after the incident and was almost killed, and it was the Chen family who saved him.

Facing the camera, the man cried sadly, "Yuqiang, we loved each other so much, you said you would be with me forever, but I didn't expect that you wanted to kill me."

In front of the TV, Jiang Yuqiang's face was sweating, and a cup hit him directly on the forehead, bleeding. Mao Xinhui screamed, "Yuqiang, what's wrong with you?"

The Jiang family was in chaos, and the whole port city fell into an unprecedented frenzy.

It was August 27 when we arrived in the capital, and there were only four days left before school started.

Qin Xiang was busy, resting in the courtyard for one night, and went to find Mi Hongjun the next day.

In Meng Huaiqing's words, he is now a little man waiting for his wife to come home.

Qin Xiang kissed him before leaving, "Little man, wait for me to come back."

Meng Huaiqing laughed non-stop.

In fact, Qin Xiang had just left when Meng Huaiqing's subordinates who stayed in the capital came to Meng Huaiqing to deal with things. After being away for a few months, there were indeed a lot of things accumulated. Qin Xiang

went to the wholesale city to find Mi Hongjun, who was also waiting for her. Knowing what she was concerned about now, he said directly, "I have found several stores, but I haven't decided which one is suitable, so I can only see which one you want when you come back."

Qin Xiang nodded, "Let's go, let's decide it in these few days, I will start school in a few days."

There will be a design competition after school starts. Although she doesn't need to participate in the competition and just needs to pay, she will have to decide how to charge for the subsequent design manuscripts.

When the two came out and saw Meng Huaiqing's driver was still there, they understood Meng Huaiqing's intention. Qin Xiang did not hesitate and got in the car with Mi Hongjun to report the address.

It was much faster to take a car than to take the tram. Some of the stores were not even in the same district. It took the two two days to finish the trip.

In the end, Qin Xiang chose a store near the museum. Although it looked a bit deserted, there were many wealthy families living around it. Moreover, the further you go in this area, the more expensive it is. The reason for choosing this place is that you can buy this house.

If you can buy it with money, it is better than renting it. If you buy it, even if you can't sell the clothes later, the store will be worth renting.

This is the center of the capital city. Many old nobles live here. You can't have high hopes at the beginning, but as she said, as long as you open it, your house will never lose money.

The storefront here is not big, but the price is not cheap. It cost several thousand to buy such a small place.

After the formalities were completed, Qin Xiang didn't even keep the key, but gave it directly to Mi Hongjun, "Next, for the decoration, you have to think about the places in the museum. It must be stylish, elegant, and noble. Don't think about saving money."

Mi Hongjun was shocked, "It has to look worth the money."

"Yes, the quality of the store can also reflect whether the clothes are valuable. The store must match the clothes, otherwise even if the clothes are good but the store is shabby, no matter how good the clothes are, they will be worthless. We must increase the value of our products, and we must sell those clothes at high prices."

Mi Hongjun nodded hurriedly, "I understand."

Qin Xiang was actually a little worried about handing the task to Mi Hongjun, so she took the gifts to visit her teacher, Professor Sun, and asked him to introduce someone in the design field in the city to help design the decoration style.

As soon as Qin Xiang told him about his request, Professor Sun smiled and said, "Why do you need to look for someone else? Our professional Lao Tan, you can look for Tan, you can look for her. She won awards overseas. It's a pity that the interior design field is not taken seriously in China, and the school does not have a specialized major. It's better to look for her than to look for someone else."

As soon as he said that, the figure of Professor Tan appeared in front of Qin Xiang.

He was a thin and bookish old man, over 60 years old, with gray hair.

Qin Xiang quickly went through it in his mind, thanked Professor Sun, went back to find Mi Hongjun, dug out a navy blue modified cheongsam and went out.

Professor Tan's family, like Professor Sun's, lived in a courtyard near Tsinghua University. It was not far from Qin Xiang's place, and it only took a few minutes to get there.

Mi Hongjun was a little nervous, "Sister, is it inappropriate for me to come here?"

She is a professor at Tsinghua University and a professor who has studied abroad. How can he, who has only graduated from junior high school and has not even finished night school, be suitable for such a place?

Qin Xiang saw that Mi Hongjun was uneasy and anxious, and couldn't help comforting her, "Professor Tan is a very gentle person, and she doesn't judge people by their academic qualifications. We sincerely went to ask her for help, and it's a matter of a word to decide whether it's okay or not. There's no need for us to be servile. Besides, even if you don't go today, there will be places that need to be connected later, so won't we still have to deal with each other?"

This is also the reason why she wanted Mi Hongjun to come, to make him realize his shortcomings, otherwise he would still be wasting his time in night school.

Mi Hongjun gritted his teeth, "Okay."

At most, he would be ridiculed.

Professor Tan's home is a square courtyard. There is a thick jujube tree in the yard. Standing outside the yard, you can see that the tree is full of jujubes. However, it is not the right season yet, so most of the jujubes are still green, and there are few red ones.

Qin Xiang went over and knocked on the door. The one who opened the door was Professor Tan's wife, who is said to be a professor at Capital University.

Qin Xiang explained her purpose, and the old man smiled and said, "Come in."

After entering the yard, Qin Xiang's eyes suddenly opened up. The jujube tree was planted next to the south wall, and there was a wisteria next to it. There was a trellis in the yard, and the wisteria climbed all over the trellis, lush and green.

Qin Xiang only looked at it and knew how beautiful it would be in spring.

Professor Tan was sitting under the wisteria trellis, with a stone table and four stone benches, on which were placed a teapot and exquisite teacups. It was obvious that when Qin Xiang came, the couple were sipping tea and cooling off under the tree.

Although it is already the end of August, the weather in the capital is still hot enough to make people feel uneasy. Only after entering this courtyard did I realize how beautiful this wisteria trellis is. Thinking about my own courtyard, which is so empty, it is indeed time to plant some things.

Professor Tan looked up and said, "Qin Xiang, why are you here?"

Qin Xiang walked over, said hello, and then explained her purpose.

"Sit down first." Professor Tan is very elegant. Her every move reveals years of accumulation. Just by looking at her, you can tell that she has received a good education since childhood. She is also kind and gentle, and you don't feel nervous or uncomfortable when talking to her.

Looking at Professor Tan like this, Mi Hongjun's anxious heart gradually calmed down. Qin Xiang expressed her thoughts, and then said, "I also learned from Professor Sun that you have studied interior design. I wonder if this will bother you."

"That's not the case." Professor Tan smiled and said with emotion, "That was many years ago. If you want to sell some cheongsams or other clothes, I think it's okay."

She didn't refuse, which made Qin Xiang relieved. She took out the dress from her bag and handed it to her, "This is a gift from me to you. I hope you don't mind it."

Professor Tan laughed dumbly, "For me?"

She opened it and saw the dress, and couldn't help laughing, "Very..." Beautiful, well made, although they are made by machines, but the style and color match very well. "

Qin Xiang smiled, "I am just offering this as a token of my appreciation. This is a batch of clothes I got by chance, and I couldn't bear to see them piled up on the carpet, so I bought them all back. But I don't think these clothes are suitable for ordinary stores, so I came to bother you."

Professor Tan nodded, "Not bad, but what about the future?"

This was asking about her future plans.

Qin Xiang said, "I am looking for a reliable silk clothing factory, hoping to find a OEM. Later, I plan to design silk clothes myself, or customize them according to the customer's body characteristics."

They are all people in the clothing field and know what is best.

Professor Tan agreed, "Your idea is good. The most important thing for making silk clothes is to have good materials. Otherwise, no matter how exquisite the style is, it will be useless."

Qin Xiang shuddered, "I understand."

Professor Tan liked the dress, went back to the house to put it on, walked out for a while, and asked her husband, "Mr. Ma, how is it?"

Professor Ma praised, "Very beautiful."

He stretched out his hand, "Can I ask Ms. Tan to dance with me?"

"Of course." Professor Tan stretched out his hand and placed it on his palm, and together they took out a phonograph from the house and played beautiful music.

The two old people were almost 130 years old in total, but the harmony and elegance when dancing together made people couldn't help but praise them.

When the song ended, the two old men bowed to thank the audience. "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Qin Xiang shook her head and said sincerely, "Very elegant, and the dance is beautiful."

Some people's elegance is engraved in their bones. Qin Xiang would also look good in such clothes, but she is not as elegant as Professor Tan.

Professor Tan smiled and shook his head, "Give me your address, I'll go and have a look tomorrow morning."

Qin Xiang left the note with the address, and left with Mi Hongjun without saying anything more.

After leaving Professor Tan's house, Mi Hongjun sighed, "This is an indescribable experience. I wonder if I can be as calm as Professor Ma when I am old?"

Qin Xiang had no answer to this question. She shook her head, "People are different. Everyone is an individual. Their elegance and calmness are the result of years of sedimentation. We are young, not experienced enough, and not free and easy. Naturally, we will not have such a calm attitude as them." After

saying this, Qin Xiang was stunned again. She didn't know when she had forgotten her age in her previous life and truly accepted the fact that she was a young person in her early twenties.

This is also a good thing for her.

After returning home, Qin Xiang began to prepare for the opening of the store. Naturally, the store name could no longer be Xianglian, and it had to be more elegant.

Unfortunately, although she was a student at Tsinghua University and also studied design, she was not good at naming. After thinking about it, she couldn't come up with a good idea.

Meng Huaiqing came in with a watermelon and saw what she wrote on the paper, and smiled, "Xiangsi."

Qin Xiang was stunned, and then she became happy. She hugged his neck and kissed him on the face, "Mr. Meng is really talented in writing."

She sat back and wrote the words Xiangsi on the paper. Meng Huaiqing laughed, "So excited?"

Qin Xiang nodded, "Of course, this is my stepping stone to take the high-end route, and it must be separated from other stores."

Xiangsi, lovesickness.

Qin Xiang was very satisfied.

The next morning, Qin Xiang and Mi Hongjun did not go directly to the store, but went to pick up Professor Tan to go to the store together. Professor Ma also went with him because he had nothing to do.

When they got there, they found out that Professor Ma was a professor of economics at Capital University.

Although they seemed to be unrelated majors, he talked about the decoration of the store with Professor Tan.

Qin Xiang was not proficient in interior design, and the decoration of other branches was just based on the later generations, and he did as much as he could. Now, listening to Professor Tan and the other two talking, he realized that he was a frog in the well and knew very little.

Professor Tan called Mi Hongjun over to measure the dimensions of the store, recorded all the data, and then carefully wrote down the overall framework of the store before saying, "I'll think about it when I get back and give it to you in a few days."

Qin Xiang said gratefully, "Thank you very much, Professor Tan."

Professor Tan didn't care, "I should thank you for giving me this opportunity." She sighed and said, "Domestic interior design still hasn't developed."

Qin Xiang knew that interior design actually had a lot of room for development. For example, Ma the foreman in Hangzhou was also doing interior decoration, but it was all based on the house itself. The so-called decoration was actually just scraping the white walls, installing window glass, etc., which was very different from the real interior design.

Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Our country is developing so fast, and commercial housing is now rising from the ground. In the future, interior design will definitely occupy a place in the construction industry."

Hearing this, Professor Tan laughed, "You are right. From the late 1970s to now, the country has developed very rapidly, and the future will get better and better. When your store opens, I will be your first customer, and then I will invite my old sisters to come and support you."

Qin Xiang became even more excited, "Thank you, Professor Tan."

As a thank you, Qin Xiang invited Professor Tan and his wife to have lunch together, and then sent them back. Before leaving, Qin Xiang handed over a red envelope, "Professor Tan, although it is a matter of money, it is also a way to express my feelings. I hope you can accept it."

Professor Tan waved his hand and said, "Forget about the red envelope. Just help me design a piece of clothing after you open the school."

Qin Xiang smiled and didn't insist anymore. "Okay, I will."

After leaving Professor Tan's house, Qin Xiang said to Mi Hongjun, "Don't slack off at night school."

Although Qin Xiang knew that Mi Hongjun was very busy at work, he still had to study hard. He should do it while he was young. When he was older, he would not be able to do it even if he wanted to.

Perhaps stimulated by the two professors, Mi Hongjun said very firmly, "I will definitely study hard, maybe I can take the college entrance examination in the future."

Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Then you should study hard, as long as you pass, I will give you a bonus."

Mi Hongjun chuckled, "My salary is already very high now, I have the highest salary among us."

"You deserve it."

Not to mention that he followed her everywhere to maintain customers, even when she was not here in the capital, Mi Hongjun was the one who took care of everything. If it were someone else, they would have quit and taken on the responsibility themselves.

She remembered her previous plan and reminded, "Let's change the agreement in the next few days."

When she said this, Mi Hongjun knew what she was talking about. He wanted to refuse, but he knew Qin Xiang's personality of sticking to his word, so he nodded, "Okay."

In his heart, he secretly warned himself to stick to his original intention and never do anything to let his sister down.

Qin Xiang is his sister, and she will be his sister for life.

After returning, Qin Xiang went into the study to write a new profit-sharing agreement. Meng Huaiqing came over and took a look, raised his eyebrows and said, "You treat Xiaomi differently."

Qin Xiang hummed, "Who made him capable? I have to keep him under control, right?"

Meng Huaiqing shook his head, "No."

There are so many capable people. Tan Xiu and the others are also capable, but Qin Xiang is not so attentive.

Qin Xiang paused and looked back at him, "What do you mean?"

"Nothing." Meng Huaiqing knew she was overthinking it, and hurriedly explained, "You are like siblings, closer than real siblings. I noticed it when we were in Guangzhou. He is very close to you."

Qin Xiang's mouth curled up, "Of course, we beat up bad guys together in the past."

After the agreement was written, she signed her name on three copies and took them to the store to have Mi Hongjun sign them. The agreement was then finalized.

On September 1st, all major universities started school.

Qin Xiang kissed her boyfriend Meng Huaiqing goodbye and returned to school with her luggage.

For students majoring in design, new opportunities have also arrived, and everyone is excited.
