Chapter 184

As soon as Qin Xiang entered the dormitory, she was warmly welcomed by her classmates. They hadn't seen each other for a holiday, so everyone was very excited.

And everyone in her dormitory was busy this summer vacation. Some of them became tour guides to practice speaking, and some worked in Qin Xiang's store. To be honest, none of them saw Qin Xiang more than twice, and the summer vacation was over in a hurry.

Ding Xiang cleared her throat and said, "I think being a tour guide is not bad. Our spoken English has improved."

Then the two of them began to show how they were tour guides for foreigners.

Ming Chuanxiu couldn't help laughing, "At the beginning, we didn't dare to open our mouths, but when faced with the foreigners' questions, we had to bite the bullet and jump from one word to another, to now being able to speak simple spoken English. It was really not easy. You don't know how many times we have looked up the English dictionary."

During the day, we took the foreigners to tour the capital, and explained with our own three-legged cat skills. At night, we looked up the words that could be used in the English dictionary and practiced the sentences that might be used. It took a lot of effort.

God will not let down those who work hard, and the results are still good.

Qin Xiang smiled and said, "That's good, at least I have gained something."

At this stage, the school does not have much requirements for English, but in the future, you will have to take the English Level 4 exam. Now I have learned nothing at all.

Others also talked about their experiences.

However, Zhao Wenna, Meilin and Mingchuan Xiu worked in Qinxiang Store.

Zhao Wenna said, "We also gained a lot. We observed customers every day, understood their needs, and matched clothes according to their body shapes, preferences and skin colors. Only then did we realize that clothing design is not as simple as simply focusing on designing."

"The most important thing is that we all made money."

Several people laughed.

As an oral tour guide, foreigners like to reward consumption. At first, Dingxiang and Guan Yuping were embarrassed to ask for it, but later they found that this was a foreign custom and accepted it. They made a lot of money in one summer vacation.

Naturally, Zhao Wenna and the three of them had their salaries paid by Qin Xiang. Qin Xiang didn't know the exact amount. These were calculated by Mi Hongjun and paid by He Liping.

Guan Yuping said, "You won't forget the design competition, right?"

Several other people said hurriedly, "Then you must not forget it. If you are selected, you will still have money."

Although everyone is busy during the summer vacation, they also have time to rest and learn and design. For example, Zhao Wenna designed three sets of clothes and waited for the design competition to start. If they can all be sold, it will be a big income. Not only will her life in college be easier, but she can also help her family.

Qin Xiang nodded, "I will contact the college in the next two days and start this matter."

Not only the people in their dormitory were anxious about this matter, but other students were also anxious. Whenever they saw Qin Xiang, they would ask about the start time of the design competition.

Qin Xiang couldn't be sure, because she was just a person who paid money and got the design draft. How to do it still depended on the arrangement of the college.

But there were too many questions, so Qin Xiang went to the college the next day.

The teacher in charge of student activities in the college gave a clear answer, "We are already writing the specific rules and regulations, and they will be distributed to each class and grade in the next two days. You can rest assured."

Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Of course I am relieved."

After going back and talking about it, everyone was very excited. They took out their own design drafts and checked them carefully to make sure they were perfect.

Two days later, the detailed rules of the design competition were issued, and the selection criteria and judges were clearly written.

Because Qin Xiang would ultimately decide on the production, her name also appeared in the event. Of course, she was just a student and would not participate in the selection process, but she would decide whether the design draft could be used in the end.

This made some people unhappy, and that was Fu Yunmei, because she had a bad relationship with Qin Xiang and was worried that even if she won the award, Qin Xiang would not use her draft.

Fu Yunmei not only grumbled in her heart, but also tried to tell other people about it, saying that it was unfair.

When she said this, Bei Nannan happened to hear it.

Ever since the two had a quarrel, Bei Nannan couldn't help but say a few words to Fu Yunmei when she saw her, "If you think it's unfair, why don't you just not participate? Didn't you look down on Qin Xiang from the beginning?"

Fu Yunmei didn't admit it and said aggrievedly, "I just said that. This matter is not just my own."

Bei Nannan sneered, "But others haven't had conflicts with Qin Xiang."

"Then you are the same." Fu Yunmei said indignantly.

Bei Nannan rolled her eyes, "I'm different, because I know myself, so I didn't participate. Unlike you, you say bad things about others while thinking about their money."

After saying that, Bei Nannan left directly.

Although she had a quarrel with Fu Yunmei and learned a lot of truths, it doesn't mean that she can reconcile with Qin Xiang. It's probably impossible in this life. She still has a little self-esteem.

Qin Xiang didn't take this little thing to heart. If she didn't catch up with her studies during the holidays, she would have to work harder to improve herself when school started.

All the manuscripts for the competition were submitted. There were over 300 manuscripts from three grades, which showed that many people submitted multiple design drafts.

Although only one draft could participate in the prize selection, if the remaining drafts were selected by Qin Xiang, they could still get the price of the manuscript.

It was better for freshmen and sophomores. Some juniors also found various connections to intern in units for a period of time during the summer vacation, and they found out how difficult it was for newcomers to stand out. Designs cannot be designed casually. They must be based on the unit's requirements and the leader's arrangements. If the leader does not arrange for you to design, then you cannot start writing. There are great limitations. Just like Professor Sun said, it is difficult for newcomers to stand out. It is not that top students will definitely be reused. There is a lot of uncertainty.

But Qin Xiang's event provided them with an opportunity, so who wouldn't want to participate?

Hearing this number, Qin Xiang heaved a sigh of relief. When he went to meet Professor Sun and the others, he took a look at it and was very satisfied.

After all, they are students of Tsinghua University, so the clothes they design are always much better.

And because of their status, the clothes they design are not particularly bold.

Some people do like some special clothes, but in this environment, clothes like bat shirts and floral shirts are already rare, and there are no clothes that are too revealing.

Professor Sun smiled and said, "Then teach us next."

Qin Xiang did not participate in the judging process. The professors on the department’s judging panel first selected the works that were eligible for the competition, and then the rest were given to Qin Xiang to choose from. The professors then selected several grades of works from the qualified works.

It happened to be the weekend, and Qin Xiang was about to take the design draft back to choose. At this time, Professor Tan stopped her and handed her a design draft, "Take a look. If there is anything inappropriate, we can modify it."

Qin Xiang took it and took a look. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, "Professor Tan, I think it must be very beautiful."

Professor Tan not only did the graphic design, but also drew a three-dimensional picture, and colored the inside according to the design. The decoration can be done according to this three-dimensional picture.

Professor Tan smiled, "As long as you like it, I will be the first to go when it opens."

"Okay." Qin Xiang said happily.

She took the design draft to find Mi Hongjun, but Qin Baotian came over. "To be honest, some of my friends know someone who works in the decoration team."

Qin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You really have a wide range of friends now."

Since she stayed in the capital, her father has been busy and started to take care of the warehouse for her. Later, she specially hired someone to look after the warehouse, and her father spent the whole day dancing ballroom dance or playing the erhu with a group of grandpas and grandmas. Qin Xiang was out for the whole summer vacation, and her father was also out for the summer vacation. It was rare for the father and daughter to meet.

Qin Baotian chuckled and was a little embarrassed. "You are just free and have nothing to do."

"That's good." Qin Xiang was very happy that her father could think positively, which showed that her father was not influenced by her mother and forgot about the things in his hometown. She even thought that if her father brought someone back one day she would not have any objection, as long as the person was good, "Dad, you've worked so hard for so many years, it's time to rest, just do whatever you want in the future."

Qin Baotian smiled, "Got it."

But Qin Xiang from the decoration team did not want to hire anyone else, so she called her third brother. The third brother happened to be in Jinshi, so he came over, listened to Qin Xiang's requirements, looked at the design draft, thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to come over."

Only then did Qin Xiang ask her third brother how many people he had now.

Qin Yang smiled and said, "There are only more than 20 people, divided into two teams. One couple just finished their work, so it's just right for them to come

over." Qin Xiang was surprised, "Great, Third Brother, it's only been a short time, and you've already formed two teams."

"Aren't you the one who brought me customers?" Qin Yang also felt emotional. He didn't expect that he could achieve this. This was something he had never dared to think about before.

Qin Xiang thought for a while and said, "Third brother, our professor Tan is an interior designer. I think you should also pay attention to find someone who can design. In the future, interior decoration will definitely have a good development. If it is just a simple decoration, your team will soon have competitors. Only if it is decorated beautifully can it be remembered by others. How to decorate beautifully requires design."

Qin Yang frowned when he heard it, "Where can I find such a person?"

Qin Xiang suggested, "You can go to school to find someone who studies design as a part-time job, or you can learn it yourself."

No matter which one is difficult for Qin Yang, he has to do it.

When Qin Yang saw the design draft that Qin Xiang gave him, he knew the importance of interior design to interior decoration. If you want to decorate well, simply scraping putty and installing doors and windows is not enough.

He hesitated for a moment and nodded, "I understand."

Qin Xiang didn't say much. Now that the third brother is in this business, he must think about how to do this job well.

After explaining, Qin Xiang didn't stay and hurried home.

But he didn't expect Meng Huaiqing to be away .

It was not until noon that Meng Huaiqing came back. Seeing that Qin Xiang had already prepared lunch and was waiting for him at home, Meng Huaiqing felt a little guilty. He said he would stay at home to recuperate, but he disappeared.

"When did you come back?"

Qin Xiang looked up at him, "Guess."

Meng Huaiqing couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry from her voice, so he was a little nervous, "Is it hot? I'll go cut some watermelon."

Qin Xiang then saw Meng Huaiqing coming back with watermelon and some vegetables.

She asked curiously, "Did you go out to buy food?"

"Yes," Meng Huaiqing washed and cut the watermelon, leaving half for the two of them to eat, and gave the rest to the bodyguard, "A friend recommended a private farm to me, so I went there to buy some things."

Qin Xiang was curious, "Private farm?"

"Yes, it's in the suburbs, it covers a large area and the scenery is nice. Some rich people will go there when they have nothing to do." Meng Huaiqing cut the watermelon into small pieces, and slowly picked up the watermelon seeds with a toothpick and handed it over, "I'll take you there when I have time?"

Qin Xiang's eyes fell on his head, "You went there like this?"

Meng Huaiqing nodded frankly, "Of course, how else can I let people know that I was injured." He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked in the distant direction, "If you want to cut off their way, you have to block them there."

Hearing this, Qin Xiang understood that the Jiang family had suffered a setback in the port city and was likely to develop towards the mainland. Meng Huaiqing wanted to cut off the Jiang family's way to develop towards the mainland and prevent them from making any breakthroughs.

We must know that the mainland's development market is indeed huge, and Hong Kong companies do have advantages, but the prerequisite is the support of policies. Policies are not supported by everyone. Naturally, we need to examine the situation of the other party.

Meng Huaiqing is using practical actions to show his attitude, so if other places want to accept the Jiang family, they have to think more.

This is also the benefit of Meng Huaiqing being the first to enter the mainland market and doing so many things. His contribution is not small, and others have to weigh their efforts.

After Meng Huaiqing finished speaking, he said, "Let's go, let's eat first."

Qin Xiang made a simple lunch, with only four dishes in total. The two cold dishes were still the same, one was spicy and the other was sweet and sour, which satisfied both of their tastes.

Meng Huaiqing said, "Let's go to the chef to cook on the weekend."

Qin Xiang was happy to not have to do anything, "Okay." After

the two of them finished their meal, Meng Huaiqing said, "It's too hot, I'm going to take a shower, do you want to come with me?"

Qin Xiang laughed, "Oh, Mr. Meng, don't you want to be reserved now?"

"Can being reserved bring you any benefits?" Meng Huaiqing smiled frankly, as if he was saying the most normal thing.

However, he also knew that Qin Xiang would not agree, so he could only go out to take a shower with regret, but there was still a gauze on his head, which he carefully took off. The scar on his head was particularly conspicuous and terrifying.

Meng Huaiqing frowned, and looking at his appearance, he was a little disgusted with himself. He was a little worried, what if his hair didn't grow out, would Qin Xiang dislike him?

Qin Xiang didn't know what Meng Huaiqing was thinking. Seeing that there was no movement inside for a long time, she asked a question. Meng Huaiqing put the hood on his head and replied, "It's okay."

After taking a shower and changing into clean gauze, Meng Huaiqing came out wearing an old man's shirt and a pair of trousers, and said meaningfully, "I'll wait for you in the bedroom."

Qin Xiang raised her eyebrows, "Shameless."

Meng Huaiqing smiled, "What's the point of having shame? Taking advantage is the best."

Qin Xiang came out of the shower, locked the door in broad daylight, and had a daytime sex.

In short, the man was comfortable, and the woman was comfortable too.

Qin Xiang said, "Mr. Meng's abdominal muscles seem to have weakened."

Meng Huaiqing, who was cleaning up, put on his old shirt silently, "I will resume exercise when I get better. Miss Qin's waist is a little tight."

Qin Xiang smiled, "I can't help it, I run here and there every day, and it's hard not to lose weight."

He has been busy during the holiday, and there is no free time to run between 3:00 and 1st after school starts, and his legs are almost thin from running.

Meng Huaiqing laughed and said, "I'm going to be busy on Monday too, so I can't keep leaving this mess in the capital to others."

Meng Huaiqing has several senior assistants, and now Cen Xuan and Assistant Liu are staying in the port city to cooperate with Mr. Zhao in managing the company. Since Meng Huaiqing is here in the capital, he can't sit idly by. Moreover, it is not good to ignore projects that are cooperating with the government.

Meng Huaiqing suddenly said, "Do you know what project I am cooperating with the government on?"

Qin Xiang was really not clear about this, "Electronic technology?"

"No." Meng Huaiqing shook his head, opened the drawer at the head of the bed, and took out a small umbrella, "This one."

Qin Xiang then realized that the brand of the small umbrella had been changed at some point. It was no longer imported, but domestically produced.

She looked strange, "Why cooperate on this?"

Meng Huaiqing threw the dirty ones into the trash can, and then said, "Because my investigation found that there is a severe lack of contraceptive methods in the country. Even though the country implements family planning, there are still many women who are pregnant. Sometimes it's not that couples have to have children, but they don't know how to prevent pregnancy. This was also distributed in the country before, but the production environment and materials were particularly bad, and there were great safety risks. After I contacted the municipal government, I proposed this project and got the support of the leaders."

Qin Xiang was particularly shocked to hear him say this. This was an area she had never paid attention to.

But she understood that this was a very good project. As long as it was promoted, the market potential was endless. In addition to providing effective contraceptive methods for the general public, it also indirectly supported the country's family planning policy.

Awesome, my brother.

Qin Xiang couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, "Great."

Meng Huaiqing chuckled, "Come to think of it, the idea came from you."

Qin Xiang was stunned.

He explained, "Because you don't want to have children, and I don't want to either, then I thought of a lot and thought of this project. The machine is the most advanced production line introduced from abroad, and the products produced are not much different from those abroad. Now it has begun to be put into use in various places."

Qin Xiang nodded, "That's great."

Meng Huaiqing paused, "But I have another idea."

"You tell me."

Meng Huaiqing shook his head again, "Let's not talk about it now, I'll tell you later."

Qin Xiang raised his eyebrows and looked unkind, "You deserve a beating for what you said."

"Then you beat me." Meng Huaiqing smiled and stuck his butt in front of her, breaking the jar.

Qin Xiang was so angry that she laughed. She clapped her hands and said, "Go away."

Although it was already September, the weather was still very hot, but it was somewhat different from the dry heat in August.

The air conditioner was still on, and Qin Xiang was standing there, not wanting to move at all.

It was a rare weekend.

But it was a pity that she had to go out on weekends.

Meng Huaiqing sent her to the front room and went about his business. Qin Xiang rubbed her face and was about to go in when she saw a woman peeking out not far away.

It was Cui Hong. It's been a long time since we last met.

When she saw Qin Xiang, Cui Hong pouted her head and quickly retracted it, but she couldn't help but poking her head out again, just in time to face Qin Xiang.

Qin Xiang was in a good mood. She walked straight towards Cui Hong and asked happily, "Cui Hong, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." The person Cui Hong hated the most in her life was probably Qin Xiang. When she was a child, everyone bullied her, but only Qin Xiang would stand up and stand in front of her like a good person. When she was bullied by the little hooligans, Qin Xiang also stood up, but she was not moved. Instead, she was indignant. Why did the little hooligans only bully her, a beautiful girl?

Qin Xiang looked at Cui Hong and smiled. Cui Hong's clothes were indeed good. "It seems that you are doing well. Does Comrade Hong Mei no longer bother you now?"
