Chapter 216
After saying that, Qin Xiang went out with her bag on her back without washing her face. "I won't be back tonight. I'll go to class tomorrow morning. Remember to bring my textbooks for me. Thank you. I'll bring you some delicious food."
After she left, the dormitory was quiet for a while. Meilin asked Guan Yuping blankly, "I think Qin Xiang is right."
Ming Chuanxiu rubbed her face and said, "She is right, and she has always led us on this path, right?"
"She is right. We are no worse than men. One day we will show others that we women must be very powerful." Meilin reacted and no longer envied those socialites. What's the use of eating and drinking well? There is no point in eating and waiting to die all your life.
Qin Xiang gave her roommate a big bowl of spiritual chicken soup and went downstairs happily.
When they got downstairs, they found Meng Huaiqing chatting with the dormitory aunt.
Seeing Qin Xiang coming down, Meng Huaiqing was obviously relieved and apologized, "Auntie, Qin Xiang is coming down, we are leaving first."
The dormitory aunt said enthusiastically, "Mr. Meng, please come often in the future, we will talk next time." It
was not until Qin Xiang and Meng Huaiqing walked a distance that Qin Xiang asked in confusion, "What did you say to the dormitory aunt?"
Meng Huaiqing didn't want to say it, "I want to know?"
"Yes." Qin Xiang blinked, "Curiosity."
Meng Huaiqing was helpless, and said, "The dormitory aunt asked me if I had a younger brother or older brother. She said her daughter was very pretty. She was studying at the university next door. She was already a junior and would be assigned a job in a little over a year. She was very pretty."
Then the expression on her face became even weirder, and she continued, "She also said that her daughter was about the same level of beauty as Qin Xiang."
Qin Xiang chuckled, and Meng Huaiqing was helpless, "I knew you would laugh. Sure enough, I shouldn't have said it."
Qin Xiang shook her head and explained, "It's not because of this, but because of..." It's because my roommate asked me the same question after seeing you in our dormitory. I told them about Jiang Yuqiang and they were shocked. I took the opportunity to brainwash them and told them that girls should rely on themselves instead of others. I guess they are still reorganizing their worldviews. "Hearing this
, Meng Huaiqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You are really bad."
Qin Xiang shook her head, "I'm not bad, I mean it sincerely. Even Guan Yuping, a girl who grew up in the city, has the idea that she has to get married when she grows up and rely on men for support. I think the idea of relying on the husband's family for a living is terrible. We are all college students of the new era. We have opportunities that many people don't have. We can learn the best knowledge in college and have jobs that others will envy in the future. But if we are still thinking about getting married and having children, and relying on men and the husband's family to live, then what is the meaning of the state-run schools? "
She sighed and said, "I can't change too many people. I just want the people around me to be well and live happily, and I don't want to live a life of ten or eight years. Later, I heard sympathetic words from other people about some of them. Only when women become strong, they will not be bullied. Only when they become strong can they take better care of their families. They are my roommates, my friends, and my best friends. I hope they all have a bright future. Whether they continue to work in this industry or not, they can keep their original intentions and become their own backers. "
This era is too unfriendly to women. Even decades later, there is still a preference for boys over girls, not to mention the more backward 1980s. After
Qin Xiang finished speaking, she found that Meng Huaiqing stopped and looked at her seriously.
Qin Xiang raised her eyebrows, "What's wrong?"
Meng Huaiqing said, "I found you to be a very kind person."
Qin Xiang looked at her dimly, "I suspect you are hiding something from me."
The two had already left the school gate. Meng Huaiqing pointed to the newly opened mutton soup restaurant not far away and said, "After drinking the mutton soup?"
"Okay." Qin Xiang responded, not forgetting the question just now, "You haven't answered me yet."
Meng Huaiqing was helpless, "I just told the truth."
The two sat down in the house. It was freezing outside, but the charcoal stove in the house was warm. The three rooms were connected, and each room had four tables. On the simple table was a bowl of pepper and chopped coriander, and a bottle of Shanxi Laochen vinegar.
While waiting for the mutton soup to be served, Qin Xiang leaned forward and said to Meng Huaiqing, "Your honest words always make me feel like you are mocking me. After all, I was just scolded for being cold-blooded and heartless."
Meng Huaiqing paused while fiddling with his chopsticks, and a barely perceptible displeasure flashed in his eyes. "Who?"
Qin Xiang sighed and told him about Li Zhiguo's case. "Anyway, the person has been arrested, and I don't care how he will be sentenced later. No matter, just compensate me for the damaged clothes. And after this incident, their families probably know that I am not easy to mess with, so they won't cause trouble again. "
Meng Huaiqing hesitated for a moment, "How about I arrange a bodyguard for you?"
Qin Xiang was happy, "I spend most of my time in school. If I can't even guarantee my safety in the capital, how can I be under the emperor's feet? "Yes? When I go out for a long time, Zhao Ping will follow me. Are you going to arrange a bodyguard for me to scare people?"
Meng Huaiqing: "I am worried about your safety."
Qin Xiang shook her head, "The school is relatively the safest place. When I graduate, there will definitely be people around me. You don't have to worry. This is the mainland, not Hong Kong. The crackdown just ended a few years ago. Those who cause trouble have to think clearly. "
Seeing Meng Huaiqing Still frowning, Qin Xiang reached out and poked her, "Wrinkling your brows will make you look ugly, don't worry, I know what to do."
Meng Huaiqing wanted to say more, but the proprietress came up with mutton soup, two large bowls of mutton soup, and specially ordered an extra portion of mutton offal, poured balsamic vinegar and sprinkled coriander, took a sip of the delicious soup, took a bite of the steamed bun, it was crispy and crumbly, and drank another sip of the soup, and the whole body was warmed up.
Seeing that she was eating happily and heartlessly, Meng Huaiqing was a little depressed, it seemed that he had worried about Gangcheng in vain. She is very open-minded and very happy.
Qin Xiang was surprised to see that he didn't move, "Eat."
Meng Huaiqing started to drink the soup.
Qin Xiang couldn't help but complain when she saw his slow manner, "Why do you have to be so strict when drinking mutton soup? You'll keep drinking it until the end of time. Mutton soup won't taste good when it gets cold."
At this time, the proprietress heard and agreed, "Yes, mutton soup will easily have a mutton smell when it gets cold. It's more enjoyable to drink it hot in the cold weather."
A man at the next table took up the bowl and drank a few mouthfuls, laughing, "It's more enjoyable to drink it this way."
Several people who were drinking mutton soup laughed.
Qin Xiang couldn't help but urge Meng Huaiqing to look at his expression, "Try it."
Meng Huaiqing suddenly stretched out his left hand and patted her on the head, "You just want to see me make a fool of myself, right?"
Qin Xiang suppressed his laughter, with an innocent look on his face, "I'm not, I didn't, don't wrongly accuse me."
If Qin Xiang's eyes weren't as bright as an 800-watt light bulb, Meng Huaiqing might have believed it. When they first came to the capital to climb the Great Wall, Qin Xiang had fooled him in the same way.
It's been so long, and she's here again.
But even though Meng Huaiqing knew that Qin Xiang did it on purpose, he didn't want to disappoint her. He slowly put the spoon aside, then picked up the open bowl and leaned on the edge of the bowl, imitating the big man at the next table and gulped down several mouthfuls.
Not to mention, the hot soup went into his stomach, and the coldness in his stomach was dispelled, and he felt warm and comfortable.
The old man next door laughed, "Isn't that right? Young people should be like this, eating meat and drinking soup in big mouthfuls, that's what we are like in the capital. Isn't it delicious?"
Meng Huaiqing smiled and nodded, "Yes, thank you, old man."
"You're welcome, the main feature of us in the capital is enthusiasm."
Qin Xiang looked at him with a smile, "Why don't you have a few more sips?"
Meng Huaiqing couldn't help but roll his eyes at her, "Since we are boyfriend and girlfriend, how can the boyfriend drink alone? Come on, girlfriend, please join us."
Meng Huaiqing picked up the big bowl and drank it all up, and looked at Qin Xiang expectantly, "Come on, girlfriend."
Qin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she picked up the bowl.
The only sound in the room was the sound of gulping down the mutton soup.
The mutton soup restaurant is doing very good business, and there is almost no free time.
After the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill, Meng Huaiqing
said meaningfully, "Why don't we go home?" Qin Xiang rolled her eyes at him and came out. It was freezing outside, and the sky was gloomy, as if it was going to snow. Qin Xiang rolled her eyes at him and said, "You are just thinking about good things in broad daylight, and you look so decent, tut tut."
After that, she went forward. Meng Huaiqing caught up with her and said unhappily, "They say that a short separation is better than a new marriage. We have been separated for more than a month, right? You don't even care about me?"
Qin Xiang couldn't help laughing, "You are so conceited."
After walking a few steps, she said, "Aren't you busy now that you just came back?"
Meng Huaiqing smiled, "It doesn't make much difference if it's a day earlier or later. Of course, I have to accompany my girlfriend when I just came back."
The meaning is very obvious. He has given priority to his girlfriend, so shouldn't Qin Xiang also give priority to her boyfriend?
Although Qin Xiang really loves her, she still has to do her job.
Today, another batch of winter items arrived, and she also made an appointment with someone at Xiangsi to have a customer tailor-made. So she had to go there.
Qin Xiang said directly. "Why don't you go to work first, and we'll meet at home at noon?"
Seeing that she had made clear arrangements, Meng Huaiqing felt a little frustrated, and he couldn't help but laugh, "Can't love take precedence over career for once?"
Even though he said it as a joke, Qin Xiang still frowned, "Meng Huaiqing, we've agreed."
Meng Huaiqing nodded and compromised, "Okay, I'll take you back to the store now, and I'll go to work again."
He still had a smile on his face as always, and seeing Qin Xiang standing there looking at him without saying a word, he couldn't help but pursed his lips, "What did I say to make you unhappy?"
"Aren't you the one who's unhappy?" Qin Xiang looked at Meng Huaiqing, and could clearly see any expression on his face.
But this man usually had very few expressions, and his expression was always indifferent, gentle and polite. Sometimes people subconsciously overlook that he is a big boss in Hong Kong, an emerging technology noble, and is known as the future star of Hong Kong.
She couldn't help but reflect, such an excellent man is willing to put down his work to accompany her, would it be bad for her to refuse directly?
Would it hurt Meng Huaiqing's feelings?
"Let's go." Meng Huaiqing said, reaching out to hold Qin Xiang's hand. His palm was not as warm as he showed, but a little bit of coolness. He held his hand and put it back in his pocket, turned around and said, "Let's go."
Qin Xiang responded and followed, then asked, "Do you think I'm a little unreasonable?"
For the first time, Meng Huaiqing didn't look at her, but asked, "If I say yes, will you change?"
Qin Xiang stopped talking.
Because she was afraid that the words she said would hurt others.
Meng Huaiqing smiled, "So, if you know the answer, why do you have to ask for clarification?"
Qin Xiang was silent.
Only after experiencing loss can you know what is most important to you.
In her last life, she once thought that she was a winner in life, but in the end she found that all her efforts were in vain.
From the first day of her rebirth, she told herself that there were not many people in this world who were worthy of her complete trust.
Only money can give people a sense of security.
The 1980s were the best times, and she didn't want to waste this time.
Career makes herself fulfilled and not live in vain, and money can make her get what she wants.
At one time, she thought she would find an obedient and well-behaved little wolfdog, but later she found that she actually fell in love with a man like Meng Huaiqing.
This is an extremely outstanding man.
He also made a lot of sacrifices for her.
But did she really take this relationship seriously? What position did she put Meng Huaiqing in her heart?
Meng Huaiqing went to the school to see her happily after getting off the plane, looking forward to a date after they met again. How did she respond?
She couldn't help but reflect, if she didn't take it seriously, would it be unfair to Meng Huaiqing?
Qin Xiang followed him all the way to the store, and didn't find a correct and reasonable explanation for her behavior.
Meng Huaiqing said, "Come in, I'll go to the company now."
Turning around, Qin Xiang took his hand again and said, "How about you wait for me to take a look around and then we can go home together?"
"Forget it, you go ahead and do your work, don't be in a hurry." After that, Meng Huaiqing patted her arm, turned around and got in the car and left.
Qin Xiang didn't turn around until the car left and went into the front room. Mi Hongjun also came today and was surprised to see her coming over, "Isn't Mr. Meng back? He said he was going to see you when he got off the plane early in the morning. Why didn't you go on a date together?"
Qin Xiang was embarrassed and felt guilty.
She couldn't say that someone was hurt by her and then left.
She opened her mouth, but couldn't come up with any other reasons, so she shook her head and said, "I went to the company."
She didn't explain, and she couldn't explain.
Qin Xiang and Qin Dong learned about the shipping and incoming goods, and went to the wholesale city for a walk, and then hurriedly got "Xiang Si".
When they got there, Ms. Zhao and her daughter had already arrived.
Her daughter was about twenty years old, with an oval face and soft features, and she was somewhat similar to her mother.
Seeing Qin Xiang coming, Ms. Zhao hurriedly led her daughter over, "Miss Qin, this is my daughter Cui Xueer, please help design a set of clothes for her, she is going to be engaged in the first month of spring."
As she said this, she smiled, "If nothing goes wrong, she will get married next summer, and I will have to trouble you to make the wedding dress by then."
Qin Xiang naturally had nothing to say after hearing this, and she wished that more customers like this would come.
Cui Xueer has fair skin and is tall. She can wear a lot of clothes and it is easy to design. The only thing to consider is the style of the clothes, which should be novel.
After measuring the size, Qin Xiang said, "Excuse me, how tall is the man you are about to marry? I want to take a look."
Before Ms. Zhao could say anything, Cui Xueer said quickly, "He is a military officer, about 1.9 meters tall, with a strong physique, but not fat, so you don't have to worry about the height when standing next to me."
Qin Xiang understood and nodded to show that she understood.
Cui Xueer said, "Mom, what do you think about asking Chenghua to order a suit?"
