Chapter 187

The third brother and the fourth sister were both in the provincial capital. Qin Xiang subconsciously felt that the one who was in trouble was the fourth sister Qin Juan.

After all, the third brother was a man, and he had a lot of workers around him, and they might not be in the provincial capital. Only Qin Juan, who was with Qin Nian in the provincial capital, was a vulnerable group, and she was afraid that something might happen.

Sure enough, Qin Baotian said anxiously, "It was Nian Nian who was in trouble. Your fourth sister called and cried and said that Nian Nian was missing. She had been looking for her since last night and couldn't find her. I have to go back."

Meng Huaiqing frowned and hurriedly got up and went out, "I'll go book a ticket now."

Qin Xiang paid more attention to her relatives. Meng Huaiqing saw it clearly and didn't dare to be careless, not to mention that it was just a child.

Qin Xiang said, "I'll go back with you."

"What's the point of you going back? You still have to go to class." Qin Baotian sighed and said, "I've asked your fourth sister to call the police. I'll go back and look for her first. What happened?"

He said with a fierce look in his eyes, "Let me know who did it. I'll kill him."

After a while, Meng Huaiqing came back and said to Qin Baotian, "Uncle Qin, don't worry. I remember there is a flight back tonight. I've asked someone to buy the ticket and have him send it over later. In addition, I've called my people in the provincial capital. They will go over to meet with the fourth sister. There is strength in numbers, and it will be better."

Hearing him say this, Qin Baotian's mood became more complicated.

He knew that his daughter lived with Meng Huaiqing. He didn't agree, but he couldn't do anything about it.

Now that he had something wrong, he still had to rely on him.

But now he couldn't care about anything else, he just wanted to go back and find the child as soon as possible.

Qin Baotian nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Meng."

Meng Huaiqing chuckled, "You can just call me Xiao Meng, calling me Mr. Meng is too distant."

Qin Baotian responded and said to Qin Xiang, "I know you are also anxious, but something has happened, you may not be able to help if you go back, Zhao Qian and the others are all helping to find the child, you can go to class at ease, I will call you immediately if there is any news."

After that, Qin Baotian went back to pack his things.

Soon the flight ticket was delivered, Meng Huaiqing and Qin Xiang went to see Qin Baotian off together, and it was actually only an hour before the plane took off. If Qin Juan's call was called later, it would probably have to wait until tomorrow.

Driving Qin Baotian to the airport, Qin Baotian made various guesses along the way, "Could someone be jealous of your sister's money and deliberately take the child away?"

Qin Xiang shook her head, but did not dare to say anything definite, "My fourth sister is not the only one who makes money. She is just a small business with only a stall and a store. How much can she make? If she really wants to change her jealousy, shouldn't she be jealous of me?"

Qin Baotian sighed, anxious.

After sending people to the plane, Qin Xiang and Meng Huaiqing were very silent on the way back.

Qin Xiang suddenly said, "I think this kind of thing must be committed by someone she knows. Qin Nian is not a child who will follow anyone. Someone who knows her must have said something to her, so she followed."

Meng Huaiqing agreed, "Indeed."

The little girl is not even four years old this year. Although she is young, she is very sensible because of her original family. She will not follow a stranger as Qin Xiang said.

When they got home, they didn't want to rest. Meng Huaiqing went out and made another phone call. When he came back, he said, "I also found someone at the Public Security Bureau in the provincial capital. There should be news soon."

Qin Xiang had no choice at this time and could only wait for news from the provincial capital.

The two went to bed very late and woke up very early the next morning. Meng Huaiqing got up early and went out to buy breakfast. After eating, he sent Qin Xiang to school. When they were some distance away from the school, Qin Xiang said, "Let's stop here."

Meng Huaiqing was helpless, "Don't many people in your school know that we are in love? So does it matter whether you send us off or not?"

Since he said so, Qin Xiang nodded, "Okay."

Meng Huaiqing was secretly happy, "Let's go."

It was breakfast time, and there were quite a few students on the road. Seeing the two walking hand in hand, the rate of turning back was quite high.

Meng Huaiqing was used to being the focus of the crowd. Qin Xiang was thick-skinned enough. When others looked at her, she smiled at them. It was the others who were embarrassed.

When they arrived at the dormitory building, Qin Xiang said, "Boss Meng, please go back."

Meng Huaiqing nodded, "Can't you go to school during this time?"

Qin Xiang said helplessly, "I would like to, but I'm a bit busy with the design competition recently."

But thinking of Qin Nian, Qin Xiang said, "I will go back soon."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Meng Huaiqing waved his hand, watched Qin Xiang go up to the dormitory building, turned around and left.

After walking for a while, Meng Huaiqing was blocked by someone. He looked up and looked at the person unhappily, then turned around and walked around, but who knew that the other party would come up again, "Mr. Meng."

Meng Huaiqing didn't even raise his head. Fu Yunmei pursed her lips and was about to speak, when suddenly a man in a black suit stopped her, "Sorry, stay away from our boss."

Fu Yunmei was stunned, and Meng Huaiqing had already walked around her.

Fu Yunmei finally met Meng Huaiqing, how could she be willing? She wanted to catch up anxiously, but the bodyguard didn't give her a chance. Fu Yunmei shouted, "Mr. Meng, Qin Xiang is dating other men."

Hearing that his girlfriend is dating other men, any man would be angry and want to ask for clarification.

However, Meng Huaiqing seemed to not hear and just left.

Fu Yunmei was a little confused.

Meng Huaiqing's bodyguard looked at the woman in front of him as if she was an idiot. How could such a person be admitted to Tsinghua University?

Seeing Meng Huaiqing walking away, the bodyguard chased after him.

Fu Yunmei pursed her lips, feeling very unhappy.

After leaving the school, Meng Huaiqing told the bodyguard, "Let someone investigate this female student."

But it should be easy to investigate. She must know Qin Xiang, and they have a bad relationship, or even envy Qin Xiang, otherwise she would not have found him here.

Meng Huaiqing couldn't help but sneer. He really didn't care about such tricks.

Don't you think about it, would Qin Xiang care about men? He squeezed in to refuse.

What's more, he has confidence in himself, and no one is more suitable for Qin Xiang than him. Other men are not necessarily better than him.

Qin Xiang went back to the dormitory to get her textbooks and went to class. She found that Fu Yunmei had her old problem again. She stared at her with a pair of complicated eyes.

=Qin Xiang ignored this sick person and let things go.

There was only one class in the afternoon. After class, Qin Xiang wanted to go back and ask Qin Nian about it. However, Li Minghui stopped her and asked her to go to the office. When she got there, she found out that the preliminary review of the design draft had been completed, and the selected ones could be handed over to Qin Xiang for a second selection.

Qin Xiang followed him. On the way, Li Minghui suddenly asked, "Qin Xiang, are you in love with Mr. Meng?"

Qin Xiang was stunned, but did not deny it. "Yes, is there any problem?"

"No." Li Minghui pondered for a moment, and then said, "I heard that a piece of land in the suburbs was bought by Mr. Meng, saying that he wanted to build a building. So if relatives and friends buy it, they should be able to buy it at the internal price, right?" Qin

Xiang understood what Li Minghui meant.

She smiled and said, "Counselor, I'm sorry, I don't know about this. I never participate in his work and I won't participate in it. As for whether it can be purchased at an internal price, I don't know. Since you have a lot of inside information, you can ask more. There must be other people in charge of such a large project. You can ask."

Hearing her words, Li Minghui's face was a little ugly.

He was just a counselor. Because he had some connections, he was able to stay as a counselor as a graduate of the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. But he was different from those orthodox teachers and professors. He had always lived in the dormitory in the capital. But he recently talked to a partner and discussed getting married. The other party required a place to live. He couldn't live in the dormitory with his wife.

At first, he didn't know about Meng Huaiqing's house building, but his girlfriend told him that the capital was building commercial housing recently, and that the suburbs close to the school were preparing to invest in commercial housing. She also said that the boss was a businessman from Hong Kong. After further inquiry, he said that he was a very young boss who had given a speech at Tsinghua University.

After comparing the boxes, it was clear that it was Mr. Meng.

Li Minghui was very happy and said to his girlfriend, "That's great. This Mr. Meng is dating a girl in our class."

His girlfriend was also happy and said at the time, "That's great. Generally, relatives and friends can get an internal price for this kind of house. That saves a lot of money."

Although there are not many commercial houses nowadays, they are very popular. After all, many people lack houses in the current environment. The state-owned units are not doing well, and it is not known when the housing will be allocated, so many people have to buy houses.

Li Minghui is just a counselor, and he can't expect the school to allocate housing.

Li Minghui thought well, he is Qin Xiang's counselor after all, so he should be given this face.

Unexpectedly, the facts slapped him in the face, and Qin Xiang directly refused.

Li Minghui looked unhappy and said to Qin Xiang, "Qin Xiang, don't you want to buy it?"

Qin Xiang understood what he meant and said with a smile, "Do I need to buy it?"

Li Minghui was exhausted and said after a while, "We students of Tsinghua University must have backbone. After all, you are not married. I heard that someone saw you living together. Shouldn't you pay attention to the impact?"

Qin Xiang turned to look at him and laughed, "Counselor, is this also something the counselor should take care of? Have I ever behaved badly in school? You also said that you heard it. You don't even check the facts and are educating me here. Isn't it inappropriate? Besides, this is my private matter. Who I live with has nothing to do with other people?"

When he spoke, they had already reached the door of the office. Even if Li Minghui was in a bad mood, he didn't say anything.

Who knew that Qin Xiang, who had just stepped in, turned around again and said, "By the way, counselor, you may have forgotten that I also opened a store and became a boss. If I want to buy a commercial house there, I can buy it at will, and I don't have to pay the internal price."

After saying that, she didn't care how ugly Li Minghui's face was, and went straight in.

There were many things on Professor Sun's table. He was discussing the design drafts submitted by students with several other professors. When he saw Qin Xiang coming, he sat back and said, "You are here, please help to clean up. There are actually many good ones among these selected ones. You can go back and carefully select them."

The professors and leaders in the department cherished this internship opportunity very much, and worked overtime on weekends to select them.

Qin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, I'll clean it up right away." There

were even comments written on the scattered design drafts on the table, and the shortcomings were clearly written.

Qin Xiang's mind moved, this saved her a lot of trouble.

She hurriedly sorted them out one by one and put them aside, and then looked at the design drafts they selected. It must be said that they were indeed excellent.

But looking at the names, most of them were designed by juniors and now seniors. The designs are more mature and closer to the market, while the designs of the lower grades are a little immature, but they are imaginative and have many good designs.

Professor Sun said with a smile, "You got a great deal this time. Many state-owned factories may not get these good design drafts."

Qin Xiang said with a smile, "That's because they don't have good vision."

Most state-owned factories now think highly of themselves. Some of them cannot let go of the airs of a big factory even if they are already at the end of their strength. The leaders and seniors in the factory also think highly of themselves. They don't take junior employees, even college students, seriously. In their view, you have to wait for experience after entering the company. The name of Tsinghua University will only make people look up to you when you enter the factory. Once you are in the department, you can't be dissatisfied. You have to hold it in and wait for experience.

When young and energetic people have enough experience, the things they design at that time may be more mature, but it is not necessarily better than when they were students or just graduated.

The heart is different, and the way of thinking about problems is also different.

This is also the reason why the school supports Qin Xiang.

Qin Xiang understands, the school understands, and the students naturally cherish this rare opportunity.

The two talked for a while, listened to the professors' arguments for a while, and then stopped disturbing them.

To judge whether a design draft is good or bad, Professor Sun and others have their own standards. Qin Xiang only needs to know that they are all excellent works, and does not participate in other things.

After leaving the school, he went directly to the storefront.

Qin Dong handed the customer over to the clerk, and then said to Qin Xiang, "Boss, you want to ask about Nian Nian, right?"

Qin Xiang nodded, "Did my dad call back?"

"He called back, but it was my third brother." The expression on Qin Dong's face was hard to describe. Everyone in Qinjiatun knew about the Qin family's affairs. When he went back for the New Year, he was asked about the capital. He was asked about Qin Jun several times, but he didn't expect it.

Qin Xiang asked anxiously, "Have you found it?"

Qin Dong came back to his senses and said hurriedly, "We found it. We found it at noon today. They said that Qin Jun and his wife took it away. Then when we found it, we were eating with them in a rental house."

Qin Xiang was speechless for a while after hearing this, "Why did they take Nian Nian away?"

She figured it out immediately. She guessed that the couple went to the provincial capital for some reason and became jealous when they saw Qin Juan, a woman with a child, owning a store and a stall and doing very well.

They couldn't deal with her, nor did they dare to provoke the third brother, so they went to find Qin Juan, whom they thought was a soft persimmon. They tried to control Qin Nian and then negotiate with Qin Juan, whether it was a stall, a store, or a recipe, it was profitable anyway.

Qin Xiang was furious, and Qin Dong told the story again, and it was exactly as Qin Xiang thought.

If she and Qin Jun were not born of the same parents, she would have wanted to curse at him. What a thing.

Qin Xiang immediately called the store, but Qin Yang and the others were not there. The store manager said that they had gone to the police station. Upon asking, she found out that Qin Juan did not accept the settlement and insisted on holding her accountable.

Qin Xiang felt relieved after hearing what the other party said. After hanging up the phone, she cursed the couple in her heart a thousand times, what a bunch of bastards.

It would be better to let them go in and operate the sewing machine. Then she

frowned again. Qin Jun still has two children at home. If they both go in and operate the sewing machine, the two children will be in trouble. They will not ask her father to raise them.

Her father's happy life in old age has just begun. If he has to go back because of this family, he will be depressed to death.

Qin Xiang put down the phone and took a look at the storefront. Then she remembered that she forgot to ask the art students to help.

He hurried back to the school to inquire, and Ding Xiang introduced one to him. "I do know one. He's from my hometown. He's a senior this year and majored in fine arts. His family conditions are average, and I think he can agree."

Most people who study art are more aloof. Some students are really unwilling to do some small jobs that require money.

But children from poor families have to take care of themselves early and are bound to want to improve their lives.

Qin Xiang hurriedly said, "Let's go, hurry up, I have to go back later."

Thanks to the early afternoon class, it was only a little after four o'clock, and there was still time.

After finding the classroom where the other party was taking classes, Ding Xiang pointed at a boy and said, "That's him."

As he said that, he went over and poked the other party. The other party turned his head to look outside, hesitated for a while, and got up and came out.

This is a studio. The boy was sitting there painting. After he stood up, Qin Xiang saw that it was an ink painting. To be honest, it was very beautiful and artistic.

Qin Xiang thought that this level was very high.

Of course, it could also be because she didn't understand painting and only judged beauty according to ordinary people's ideas.

But what surprised Qin Xiang was that this student didn't have long hair like many art students, but had a neat crew cut, was of medium height, and even looked a little shy.

Ding Xiang said, "This is my roommate I was talking about. She needs someone to paint on the wall, so I recommended you." Then she added, "For money."

"It's okay if you don't pay." Huang Lin was a little embarrassed, "How can I charge for doing a favor?"

Hearing him say this, Ding Xiang was a little worried for him, so she said to Qin Xiang, "He is like this. He helped others before, and he really helped and didn't ask for money, but the other person really didn't give him anything."

Qin Xiang was amused. She didn't expect him to be such a person. She smiled and said, "Helping is helping, cooperation is cooperation, this time we are talking about cooperation, and we have to pay."

Huang Lin scratched his head embarrassedly, "That's fine."

This personality reminded her of Jiao Junxi in Yangcheng, who was also a social phobia. She figured out that many talented people are socially anxious. No wonder she is not a genius. It turns out that she is not socially anxious.

Qin Xiang looked at her watch and said, "Do you have time now? If you have time, I will take you to have a look and then discuss the price."

"Yes. Wait a moment." Huang Lin said and went into the studio, packed up his things, and then came out, "Let's go."

Dingxiang was talking to Huang Lin on the way, and Huang Lin occasionally responded.

What surprised Qin Xiang was that Huang Lin had the vitality of young people when talking to Dingxiang, and he didn't seem to be so shy. It's

just that they spoke in their dialects, and Qin Xiang couldn't understand a little.

Forget it, Dingxiang was just trying to ease the atmosphere, so if she didn't understand, she didn't understand.

When they got to the store, Qin Xiang took out the design draft and told her her requirements, "It must match my clothes, make the environment elegant, and make people feel that the clothes are high-end when they see them."

Then Qin Xiang talked about the positioning of her store and the characteristics of the clothes, and then asked him, "Is it okay?"

Huang Lin thought for a while, "I'll try it, I'll go back and draw a sample picture first, and then we can talk if you are satisfied."

Qin Xiang nodded, "Okay."

Then Ding Xiang and Huang Lin left, and Qin Xiang also had to go back to the courtyard.

Since I promised Meng Huaiqing to go back soon, I must not break the appointment.

On the way back, Ding Xiang said to Huang Lin, "Senior, you can't do this. Only Qin Xiang is kind and doesn't care about this little money. If it were someone else, she might not give it to you."

After a year of college, Ding Xiang has become cheerful from a shy girl. She cherishes her current life.

Looking back at myself when I first entered school, I was so naive and immature.

Huang Lin smiled and said, "But she is your roommate."

Ding Xiang looked at him, blushing a little, and muttered, "Roommates are not good either, so what happens."

Qin Xiang did not doubt the person Ding Xiang introduced, and went straight home after leaving the store.

As soon as she entered the alley, she saw someone peeking there.

Qin Xiang frowned, why did Cui Hong come here?

Just as she was thinking about going forward, the door suddenly opened, and then she saw Cui Hong fell inside with a cry.

Qin Xiang: "..."
