Chapter 201
The new store had a good performance on the first day of opening, which was very exciting for Qin Xiang.
After eating, he could not wait to take the notebook and start designing clothes. Today, there are finished products that have been sold, and two are tailor-made for Qin Xiang. Qin Xiang has measured the size and recorded the other party's requirements and preferences, so he has to come back and make them quickly.
Of course, the price of custom-made clothes like this is definitely more expensive.
However, at any age, people with money are not short of money. Today, the wives of the two bosses brought by Meng Huaiqing are ordering clothes from Qin Xiang. They are not short of money.
Since they are not short of money, if Qin Xiang does not quote the full price and work hard, it would be very unfair to the money. It can be said that the behavior of capitalists is fully demonstrated.
Qin Xiang was drawing, Meng Huaiqing was reading a book. After a while, Meng Huaiqing suddenly said, "I heard that the flue in the courtyard can be renovated, and you can burn ground dragons in winter, so it won't be too cold."
Qin Xiang was stunned and took a long time to react, "You mean to renovate the courtyard?"
Meng Huaiqing nodded, "Yes, it's getting cold, otherwise it will be unbearable in winter."
Thinking about it, winter is really hard to endure. Last winter, she lived in the school dormitory, which was a tube building, and there were many people living there. She didn't feel cold at all if she covered more quilts.
But the courtyard is different. Each household is an independent individual, not relying on each other, so it will be very cold in winter. It would be
more comfortable if you can make ground dragons.
What's the point of making money? Of course, it's for comfort. Qin Xiang nodded, "Okay, but do you know anyone?"
Meng Huaiqing smiled, "Have you forgotten what I was doing in the suburbs? It's not a problem to find a few experienced workers."
Qin Xiang was satisfied when he heard this, "Okay, I'll leave this to you. By the way, the rooms are also connected. If it's too cold in winter, let my sister and my father do it. "Let's come together to spend the winter. There should be some in the study, so that I can be more comfortable when I work."
Meng Huaiqing nodded in agreement, "Then we have to buy coal in advance."
Qin Xiang nodded, "I'll do it. I have a classmate whose family is from Inner Mongolia. I heard that he has someone in the mine. I'll ask if I can buy some and transport it over."
Since we have to burn ground dragons, we must have coal, and we can't do without it.
After the two of them finished discussing, Qin Xiang continued to draw, but Meng Huaiqing still stood there without moving. Qin Xiang was puzzled, "Is there anything else?"
Meng Huaiqing hugged her, "I have to go back to Hong Kong City."
Qin Xiang hummed, "Did the previous incident get out of hand?"
Meng Huaiqing laughed, feeling happy, "Yes, now Jiang Yuqiang has become a laughing stock in Hong Kong City, and Jiang's enterprise has been hitting the limit for many days in a row, and it is in danger."
Hearing this, Qin Xiang frowned, "Then if you go back now, won't they know and come to you to rely on you?"
"Yeah." Although Meng Huaiqing was helpless, he was not worried. "They want to enter the mainland through me, but unfortunately they have a bad reputation. The mainland government is not willing to accept all kinds of garbage. They will definitely look for me when I go back. But there is no way. The industry in Gangcheng can't always be handled by other people. Some documents still need me to go back and sign. But don't worry, I will come back as soon as possible."
Qin Xiang nodded, "Okay."
The identities of the two people are here, and they are destined not to stay together forever.
Although she also knows that the economic development of Gangcheng in the 1980s was much better than that of the mainland, for some reason, she is not so interested in Gangcheng. She likes the mainland more, watching the mainland develop little by little, and getting better little by little. Watching the high-rise buildings rise from the ground is a very wonderful feeling.
Seeing her usual reaction, Meng Huaiqing sighed, "You won't feel sad at all?"
Qin Xiang raised her eyebrows, "Are you leaving tomorrow?"
Meng Huaiqing was stunned and shook his head, "Of course not, I still have to arrange things here."
Qin Xiang hummed and lowered her head again, "In that case, what else do I have to worry about? I will cry and feel sad when you leave."
Her words successfully made Meng Huaiqing laugh, and he laughed happily, "Crying and feeling sad? Will you?"
Qin Xiang raised her eyebrows, "It doesn't matter whether I will or not, what matters is that Mr. Meng will like it and be happy, right?"
Meng Huaiqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I will be happy."
"That's it?"
Meng Huaiqing said helplessly, "Okay, you are beautiful and you are right."
He took the pen from her hand and hugged her from behind, "The boyfriend is leaving, and the girlfriend should not show some expression?"
Good guy, the expression is quite unique.
The boss is worthy of the male dog waist, that waist is like a motor, more ferocious than before.
Qin Xiang suspected that Meng Huaiqing was angry about He Chenghua, but she could not find evidence.
He is indeed a petty man.
The next day was Monday, and Qin Xiang had to go to school.
Qin Xiang decided to renovate the yard after Meng Huaiqing left and she returned to the dormitory. Of course, they would have a good date and get along well with each other in the next few days.
It is very ceremonial for a man and a woman to do this together. Even if they do nothing and just stay in a study room, it is also a good thing to look up and see each other.
Except for the first two days when business was booming in the 'Xiangsi' store, it was not so popular from the third day onwards, and the flow of people was much less. Some people came in out of curiosity, but after asking about the price, they took a breath and left quietly.
The three originally excited shop assistants were a little anxious, worried that they did not do a good job and that was why there were so few customers, so they were a little nervous.
They were embarrassed to tell Qin Xiang about this, so they told Mi Hongjun.
Mi Hongjun comforted, "This is normal. This store is positioned for high-end customers, so it is normal to have fewer customers. We still have to rely on repeat customers, or people in the same circle to introduce each other. It doesn't matter. As long as you do your job well, you don't have to be afraid."
But his comfort was not arranged for the three people. When Qin Xiang came over to inquire about the situation, one of them told the situation nervously.
Qin Xiang looked at the account book and nodded, "I understand."
The store actually made quite a lot of money every day, more than 2,000 yuan a day. But after the first day's more than 7,000 yuan, the three of them felt that selling about ten pieces of clothing a day was too little.
Qin Xiang comforted them, "Don't worry, everything is difficult at the beginning. Although there are many dignitaries and rich people in the capital, we don't know all of them. It will be fine as the word spreads. I will write a plan in the next few days and find an opportunity to go to the radio station to run a wave of advertisements. I will do it when the second batch of goods arrives."
The three people were surprised and said, "Okay."
Qin Xiang actually forgot about this matter. Now that she remembered it, she hurried to find Hao Jingjing. Hao Jingjing was in the National TV Station, but the National TV Station's audience is the whole country. Qin Xiang felt that it was not necessary for the time being. Not to mention the audience issue, the advertising fee was very high.
She felt that this was unnecessary. It would be better to find the Capital TV Station, whose audience is the people of the capital, and it is more targeted.
Hao Jingjing is indeed capable of entering the National TV Station, otherwise it would be very difficult for her at this age. At the beginning, she was also lucky. She happened to encounter the Capital TV Station recruiting reporters, so she participated in the selection. Although she did not get the first place after passing five levels and killing six generals, she also successfully entered the National TV Station.
Moreover, Hao Jingjing is a passionate person who likes to make friends. She had asked before and she also had acquaintances in Capital TV.
Qin Xiang went directly to find them and happened to meet them for lunch. Seeing Qin Xiang coming, Hao Jingjing understood what she meant and immediately took her to call a girl from Capital TV, and the three of them went to have lunch together.
The drinking table culture has always been effective. Qin Xiang directly took them to a nice private restaurant nearby for dinner and explained their purpose at the dinner table. Hao Jingjing knew about it early on, and the girl was obviously in charge of this matter. She immediately asked, "What do you want to order?"
Qin Xiang thought for a while, "Is 7:30 ok?"
The girl named Li Mingzhu frowned, "It's not cheap during this time period."
Then she reported a number.
Qin Xiang took a breath. It was indeed not cheap, but it was within her affordable range. Besides, 'Xiang Ai' was her store. She could have promoted other stores in the store as well. It was also good to just show up briefly when taking pictures.
Qin Xiang made up her mind and nodded, "Okay."
Seeing that she agreed so readily, Hao Jingjing was not surprised at all and focused on eating. Li Mingzhu was a little surprised.
But there are too many rich people these days. Although she is young, she has money and she has nothing to say. So she nodded, "Okay, you can come with me in the afternoon to sign the contract, and then I will try my best to schedule it."
Qin Xiang knew that it was a little late for her to think about this. She had to learn her lesson and plan everything in advance.
From this, she thought of several other branches. It would be a good idea to take this opportunity to promote them, so that they can still sell well before the New Year.
Having made up her mind, Qin Xiang smiled even more enthusiastically.
After lunch, the three of them parted ways at the door. Hao Jingjing worked for the National TV Station and was on a different path from them. Qin Xiang followed Li Mingzhu to the Capital TV Station to handle the contract.
In terms of television advertising, there are actually very few ads. Qin Xiang arranged for it to start broadcasting on Saturday.
As soon as the contract was signed, Qin Xiang hurriedly called He Liping and asked Mi Hongjun to send the money over.
Only then did the contract officially take effect.
Qin Xiang did not expect things to go so smoothly. Hao Jingjing's connections were really amazing.
In the evening, she found Hao Jingjing again.
Hao Jingjing was amused, "Why are you here again? Is there something else? I can't do anything else in other places."
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "You have connections in the provincial capital."
Hao Jingjing was surprised, "Are you planning to put ads in the provincial capital?"
Qin Xiang nodded, "Yes, not only in the provincial capital, but also in other places, but not on TV. In other places, they will be published in newspapers for several consecutive days to warm up for autumn and winter."
Now her source of funds, the wholesale city accounts for the majority, but each branch also makes a lot of money, otherwise she would not have the money to work so hard.
Autumn and winter are the peak seasons for the clothing industry. It would be a shame not to seize this opportunity. You
can't just sit there like a salted fish for the whole winter. Even if the territory does not increase for the time being, you have to maintain the current one.
Hao Jingjing was not vague and agreed immediately, "I'll tell my dad to send your people to talk to him."
After all, Hao Jingjing was more familiar with the provincial capital, so she explained to her the pros and cons of some of the provincial capital's newspapers and periodicals.
Qin Xiang was very grateful, "I will give Xiaomi a few days off after I'm done with this,
and you two can get along well." Hao Jingjing rolled her eyes, "You, the capitalist, have already brainwashed him. With just one word from you, he will rush over to do what we are doing."
Hao Jingjing said sourly, "Sometimes I even feel jealous." Hearing this,
Qin Xiang chuckled, and said fiercely, "How could he do this when I'm teaching him a lesson and doing something?"
Hao Jingjing knew she was wrong as soon as she heard it, and her face turned red, "What nonsense are you talking about, our relationship is very pure."
"Okay, you two are pure, you just cover yourself with a quilt and chat all day long."
"Oh, why are you like this."
The topic was changed directly, and the two laughed.
After finishing the work here, Qin Xiang returned to the courtyard. Meng Huaiqing will leave the capital tomorrow, and the next time he comes back is undecided.
In this case, the two of them naturally have to do something inappropriate for children, clinging to each other, wishing they could grow on each other.
After a hearty and exciting time, the two of them just chatted in the quilt. Meng Huaiqing said, "Wait for me to come back."
Qin Xiang said "oh".
When the two of them started dating, she thought that parting was also a very simple matter, and she didn't have time to think about it. Whether it was love or men, they were all seasonings in her life.
But as time went by, this feeling slowly changed, and she sometimes missed Meng Huaiqing.
She thought she was really in love with him.
Although this kind of feeling did not dominate her life, it also gave her feelings a place to rest.
Qin Xiang said, "Have a safe trip."
Meng Huaiqing chuckled helplessly, "Not enthusiastic at all."
So Qin Xiang let him feel what enthusiasm is.
The two were arguing when someone suddenly knocked on the door.
Qin Xiang was too lazy to move, so he kicked him with his foot, "Open the door."
Meng Huaiqing sighed, got up, dressed and went out. After a long time, he came back and stood at the door of the inner room and said, "He Chenghua has been in a coma in the hospital for several days."
Qin Xiang frowned, "Hospital?"
"Yes." Meng Huaiqing explained, "The person outside the door is He Chenghua's mother. She said that he crashed his car into a tree on the day your store opened, and he has been in a coma for several days. He has been calling your name unclearly. She hopes you can go see him."
Qin Xiang felt disgusted when she heard this.
Since He Chenghua's mother Liu Fanglin could find this place and saw Meng Huaiqing, she must have known the relationship between her and Meng Huaiqing. Under such circumstances, she could still say such words. I don't know what she was thinking.
Qin Xiang was silent and looked unhappy. Meng Huaiqing came over and hugged her and said, "If you don't want to go, we won't go."
Qin Xiang sneered, "It wasn't me who asked him to hit the tree, but now it's my fault."
She didn't want to go, but He Chenghua did help her before. If she really didn't go, it would seem cold-blooded.
But if she went, she would feel aggrieved and uncomfortable. Anyway, she felt disgusted.
Meng Huaiqing asked, "So what are your plans now?"
Qin Xiang thought for a moment and said, "Although he is indeed annoying, he did help me before. This is undeniable. In this case, it would not be good if I did not go."
"Okay." Meng Huaiqing took the clothes and asked her to put them on, "Let's go, I'll go with you."
Qin Xiang nodded, "Okay."
The two of them put on their clothes and came out. Liu Fanglin at the door frowned and kept thinking about something.
She also knew that it was not appropriate to come over at this time. When she saw who opened the door, she understood that they were already living together and might get married one day. There was no hope for her son.
But even if she knew, she had to come. That night, Cheng Hua obviously lost control of his emotions and drove fast. He did not see the road clearly on the road and hit the tree.
Even though she knew that this matter had nothing to do with Qin Xiang, she still felt uncomfortable. It's not worth it for her son.
There are so many women in the world, many of them are beautiful, why torture yourself for just one?
If Cheng Hua hadn't woken up for several days and kept asking for Qin Xiang's name, she really couldn't bring herself to come.
While she was thinking, Qin Xiang and Meng Huaiqing came out.
Qin Xiang recognized Liu Fanglin and said, "Hello."
Liu Fanglin wanted to smile, but she couldn't. She apologized, "Sorry to bother you."
Qin Xiang shook her head, "You're too polite. Captain He was our instructor. He had helped me before. It's reasonable for me to visit him."
Hearing her clear boundaries, Liu Fanglin felt even worse. She made way and said, "Let's go and take a car."
Qin Xiang shook her head, "No need. Just tell us the address and we'll go there by ourselves."
While she was talking, Meng Huaiqing's bodyguards had already driven over.
Liu Fanglin took a look and didn't insist. She informed the hospital and then got into the car to lead the way.
Qin Xiang and Meng Huaiqing got into Meng Huaiqing's car, and the car followed them. Qin Xiang yawned, "Really..."
She didn't know what to say.
She was really tired, after all, she had just finished aerobic exercise, and she had taken the initiative to do it. Now her legs and feet were a little sore.
Meng Huaiqing patted her shoulders, "I'll lend you my shoulder."
Qin Xiang was not polite, and leaned on it directly, and did not forget to complain, "It's all your fault."
Meng Huaiqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, it's all my fault."
He leaned close to Qin Xiang and whispered something. Qin Xiang was so angry that she hit him and gritted her teeth, "Shut up."
Meng Huaiqing smiled happily.
But when they arrived at the hospital, Qin Xiang restrained her smile. After getting off the car, she followed Liu Fanglin into the car. In the single ward on the fourth floor, she saw He Chenghua with his head wrapped into a ball.
Liu Fanglin looked at the two people holding hands and never letting go, and then looked at her son who was hurt by love. Liu Fanglin was overwhelmed with grief and felt uncomfortable.
