Chapter 217

Qin Xiang was recording data. When she heard this, she paused and couldn't help looking up at Cui Xueer.

Cui Xueer had a happy smile on her face. When she talked about He Chenghua, she couldn't hide her love in her eyes.

This made Qin Xiang feel a toothache. Cui Xueer, such a bright and beautiful girl, actually liked He Chenghua.

But this had nothing to do with Qin Xiang. Maybe he was willing to fight and the other was willing to be beaten. Could she still tell Cui Xueer that the man you like likes me and doesn't like you, so don't date him?

She was sure that if she dared to say that, he would scold her for meddling in other people's business.

So Qin Xiang didn't do this bad person.

As for whether He Chenghua would really come, he could come or not. If he came, she would earn the money.

After she finished recording, Ms. Zhao smiled and said to Cui Xueer, "Forget it, he is a soldier, so he should look more energetic in officer's clothes."

Cui Xueer felt a little regretful, but nodded, "Okay then."

Qin Xiang said, "I will design the draft in the next few days. Can you come to see the draft at 5 pm on Wednesday?"

Ms. Zhao did not object. After setting a date to see the draft, Ms. Zhao paid the deposit and left with Cui Xueer.

After they left, Qin Xiang did not stay for long. She packed up her things and went directly to Meng Huaiqing's office. Unexpectedly, when she went there, she was told that Meng Huaiqing had left. She thought Meng Huaiqing had gone home, so she hurried back.

As a result, the door was locked, but the main room was warm because the floor heating was turned on.

Where did she go?

Qin Xiang was puzzled, so she went into the house, took out a notebook and began to design Cui Xueer's clothes.

She was so busy that she forgot about time, and when she came to her senses, it was almost dark outside.

Her stomach was growling, but Meng Huaiqing was nowhere to be seen.

The chef outside had already prepared the meal and put it on the stove to warm it up. There were four dishes, all of which were Qin Xiang's favorites.

But it was a pity that he had left early, and she couldn't even ask where Meng Huaiqing had gone.

Could it be that he was angry and simply ignored her?

Qin Xiang couldn't eat dinner anymore, so she went to the store to make a phone call, but the answer she got was that Meng Huaiqing had left in the morning and had not returned. There was only one person on duty in the office.

Qin Xiang couldn't help but frown, and after reflecting for a while, she thought that Meng Huaiqing might really be hurt by her.

But she didn't understand. Both of them were career-oriented people, and they had agreed on it beforehand. Why was

she still sad? Or maybe she was too heartless?

Qin Xiang didn't let Zhao Ping send her off. She walked home along the road alone. When she passed by the yard she had rented as a warehouse, the door was open and the lights seemed to be on inside.

She couldn't help but feel a little regretful. This yard was really nice, but it was a pity that the owner didn't want to sell it. Did the owner come back to live there?

Just as she was about to leave, the lights in the house went out, and then there were footsteps.

Qin Xiang was a little curious about who owned this yard.

So she ran back and forth for a while, and then walked back slowly. When she reached the door, the person inside happened to open the door and come out.

Qin Xiang was stunned.

The person at the door was also stunned.

Qin Xiang blinked and understood everything in an instant.

This is Meng Huaiqing's house.

And it's not far from the house she bought. No wonder she was able to rent here. It turned out that it was all arranged by Meng Huaiqing.

She smiled and said, "Can I say it's a coincidence, Boss Meng?"

Meng Huaiqing today is a little different from Meng Huaiqing at other times.

In the past, Meng Huaiqing was a very gentle person in his expression, behavior and words, but at this moment, Meng Huaiqing was cold and exuded an aura of keeping strangers away. When he looked at Qin Xiang, Qin Xiang felt like he was looking at a stranger for a moment.

This feeling made Qin Xiang feel very uncomfortable.

She took a few steps towards Meng Huaiqing, reached out and grabbed his hand, "Meng Huaiqing..."

Meng Huaiqing pulled away, and the coldness on his face slowly dissipated after a while, "Let's go home."

Qin Xiang nodded, "Okay."

She didn't ask about the courtyard, and Meng Huaiqing didn't explain.

After arriving home, Qin Xiang asked him, "Are you hungry?"

Meng Huaiqing nodded.

Although the courtyard was decorated, there was nothing, and staying there alone didn't make him feel like eating or drinking.

Qin Xiangcai asked in surprise, "Why don't I see your bodyguards?"

"Let them rest." Meng Huaiqing's face could not be seen clearly in the dim light, and his voice was a little ethereal, "You are right, this is the mainland, not Hong Kong, and people won't die violently on the streets here."

Qin Xiang was helpless, "Should you let the bodyguards follow you or not, you are not from the mainland after all, what if the enemies from Hong Kong follow you?"

While talking, the two of them arrived at the door, Qin Xiang opened the door and went in, "I'm going to cook, you go in and wait."

After the door was closed, Meng Huaiqing hugged her around the waist, then turned her around, leaned over and kissed her, the dense kisses fell down, making Qin Xiang breathless. She knew his inner uneasiness, and what she said at noon did hurt him.

She responded to his madness, but Meng Huaiqing seemed dissatisfied, picked up Qin Xiang and went straight to the house.

Qin Xiang hugged his neck and asked him, "You can't wait until dinner..."

"No, I just want to eat you." Meng Huaiqing's eyes were deep, as if he could see directly into Qin Xiang's heart through his pupils.

Qin Xiang didn't dare to look him in the eye, so she let him put her on the bed, watched him lean over and tear off their clothes.

The temperature of the floor dragon was very low, and the room was a little cold. Meng Huaiqing covered himself with the quilt, leaned over and calmed down again.

In Qin Xiang's impression, Meng Huaiqing has always been calm and restrained. No matter what time, he is always warm and gentle. But in bed, he has never been as crazy as today, wishing to crush Qin Xiang and swallow her into his stomach.

After an unknown amount of time, the two finally stopped. Meng Huaiqing pressed on her, buried his face in her neck, and said in a muffled voice, "Qin Xiang, I'm done."

Qin Xiang's heart skipped a beat, "What's done?"

She was thinking about business and stocks. Could it be that the stock market catastrophe came early and Meng Huaiqing didn't have time to sell, so he went bankrupt?

Since her rebirth, so many things have changed. It might not be impossible that the stock market catastrophe came early.

Qin Xiang thought she had figured it out. She patted Meng Huaiqing on the back and said, "Don't be afraid. Even if you have nothing, I will still want you."

The man on her body froze and looked at Qin Xiang in surprise.

Qin Xiang looked at him and said, "Really, it doesn't matter. Even if you go bankrupt and become a pauper, I will still want you. I will support you. You don't know, it's actually quite nice to eat a gigolo."

Meng Huaiqing stared at her without saying a word. After a long time, he lay back and chuckled.

Qin Xiang frowned, then responded, "You lied to me?"

"No." Meng Huaiqing turned over and lay beside her, saying, "I said I was done because I found that I couldn't leave."

Qin Xiang was stunned.

Meng Huaiqing reached out and took Qin Xiang's hand and put it on his chest, looking at her and said, "Listen, it's beating so hard, if I didn't know that I was healthy, I would have thought I was going to have a heart attack."

The skin under his hand was hot, and the heart in his chest was beating so hard that it seemed to break through the chest and run out. Qin Xiang looked at Meng Huaiqing and saw that he was a bit of

a spoiler. "Don't you think it's because you just finished aerobic exercise? Aerobic exercise can improve cardiopulmonary function. Although you've finished now, your heartbeat needs to slowly calm down." After she finished speaking, she saw Meng Huaiqing's helpless face. "You really spoil the mood." Meng Huaiqing turned over again, "It seems that I'm not working hard enough." Meng Huaiqing, who was working hard, didn't look like a human, but like a horse. That dog waist...tsk tsk. The two of them finished again, and it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Qin Xiang was hungry and didn't want to move. She kicked Meng Huaiqing with her foot and said, "Get up and cook." Meng Huaiqing looked at her and said, "What do you want to eat?" Qin Xiang laughed and said, "You said it as if you would do it if I told you." Meng Huaiqing also laughed and said, "It can't be wrong if you give me instructions." "Then I won't go. It's very cold. I'll wait in the room and eat something ready. I'll eat whatever you cook." Anyway, I won't get up. Meng Huaiqing smiled and said, "I'll boil some water and take a shower later." After cleaning up the mess on the bed, Meng Huaiqing went out to cook. Qin Xiang got up and put on her clothes. After waiting for a while, Meng Huaiqing came in with an enamel basin. The floor dragon was already heated, and the room was not so cold anymore. Qin Xiang watched Meng Huaiqing take off his coat and put on a sweater and trousers. She couldn't help laughing, "Meng Huaiqing looks a bit more down-to-earth like this. When I first saw you, I always felt that you were hanging in the sky?" Meng Huaiqing turned his head to look at her, "Hanging in the sky waiting for you to worship?" Qin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and shook her head, "No, it's just that I feel it's far away, out of reach..." As she spoke, she laughed, "Now not only have I picked it, I can also eat it." Meng Huaiqing raised his eyebrows, "How does it taste?" Qin Xiang nodded, "It's very fragrant." Meng Huaiqing took a small bowl and served her noodles, and placed it in front of her, "I can't wait to tear you apart and eat you now." "Heh, man." The noodles lacked the strength of hand-rolled noodles. They were a little soft after being cooked. They were full of soup and had a bland taste. Qin Xiang took out a bottle of chili sauce from the cupboard and ate it. That was good. Meng Huaiqing couldn't understand her taste and could only watch. After a while, she said, "Qin Xiang, I find that I can't live without you." Qin Xiang paused and looked up at him, "Huaiqing..." She wanted to say, Meng Huaiqing, don't be like this, we agreed before that dating is dating, and during the dating period, the two people just need to cherish each other and love each other. But don't regard love as the top priority in our lives, we are people who want to do business. She said that she could turn her face and deny it after pulling up her pants, but what should she do if her partner is getting deeper and deeper into it? But these words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them. In the evening, she couldn't find him and she was very anxious. She even thought about whether to make him a promise. But she felt that promises were bullshit. Even swearing to the sky could break the contract, let alone a small promise. Meng Huaiqing looked at her and said, "I know your concerns, and I don't ask for anything. We are still the same as before." After separating from Qin Xiang in the morning, Meng Huaiqing went to the office for a walk, but he had no intention of working. Assistant Liu saw his emotional problems and asked him to go back and rest. But when he returned home, he saw that everything was cold, and he felt uncomfortable when he thought of Qin Xiang's attitude. So he went to his courtyard house, but it was just as cold there. After staying in the cold house until night, Meng Huaiqing found that he couldn't leave Qin Xiang. The moment he saw Qin Xiang, he even thought about whether to say something harsh, but unfortunately, as soon as Qin Xiang opened her mouth, he fell. Forget it, don't fight. In his opinion, love and career are not in conflict. Why make himself uncomfortable and make Qin Xiang unhappy for such a small matter. "Eat noodles." Meng Huaiqing picked up the noodles and ate them politely. Qin Xiang hummed and couldn't help looking at him, "You were angry in the morning, right?" Meng Huaiqing smiled, "A little, but it's better now." Qin Xiang felt even more guilty, she knew that Meng Huaiqing was accommodating her. She thought for a while and said, "I think that maybe love and work are not in conflict. The difficulty lies in how we can adjust our time so that we don't feel that love is holding us back when we are busy with our careers." "That's right." Meng Huaiqing gave an affirmative answer. Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "But I still think that career is more reliable than love. It's not that you are unreliable." "I understand." Meng Huaiqing said, "You don't have to say it anymore." Qin Xiang smiled helplessly. The more she explained, the more confused she seemed. So she didn't say it. The two of them ate and took a shower, then lay down, this time covered with a quilt and just chatted. Meng Huaiqing talked about things in Gangcheng, and Qin Xiang talked about things here.

Qin Xiang suddenly asked, "Then in Gangcheng, did the Jiang family ask you to arrange a marriage?"

"Of course they did." Meng Huaiqing said sarcastically, "They're just short of sending a woman to my bed."

Qin Xiang was stunned, "Send to bed?"

Seeing her expression, Meng Huaiqing couldn't help but reach out and rub her head, "Don't worry, I live with my grandmother, they can't get in, they just often have bad intentions."

Qin Xiang said, "Then what about your stepbrother?"

"Him? Almost useless." Meng Huaiqing sneered, "His reputation is completely ruined, and the fiancée that the Jiang family originally arranged for him quickly broke off the engagement. The Jiang family's stock price fell, and I took the opportunity to find someone to buy it. Now the Jiang family is no longer ranked in Gangcheng."

Hearing this, Qin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Then they must hate you to death."

"Of course. He has four wives to support." Meng Huaiqing said, hugging Qin Xiang, "This is the disadvantage of marrying too many women. If something happens, you can't support them."

Qin Xiang snorted, "That's what he deserves."

The next day was Monday, and Qin Xiang had to go to class early in the morning. Both of them missed the mutton soup they drank yesterday, so they came early in the morning. Each of them drank a big bowl, and Meng Huaiqing sent Qin Xiang to school, "Will you come back in the evening?"

Qin Xiang nodded, "As long as you promise not to make trouble for me, I will come back. I have a final exam soon."

Meng Huaiqing felt guilty and touched his nose, "Okay."

As soon as they arrived at the classroom, it started snowing outside. Someone exclaimed, "What big snowflakes."

Qin Xiang looked outside through the window. Large flakes of snow were falling, and the weather seemed to be colder.

There was no heating in the classroom at this time, let alone heating, there was no charcoal stove.

When it was time for class, they were so righteous that they had to shake their hands. When the professor was lecturing, they were rubbing their hands. When they were not taking notes, they would put their hands into their sleeves to keep warm.

After class, they were in no mood to go to the library or the study room. They borrowed reference books and hurried back to the dormitory.

They soaked their feet, crawled into the quilt, and read books.

Qin Xiang said, "I won't be back these few nights."

Guan Yuping nodded in understanding, "We know that your partner has come back. We all understand."

Qin Xiang smiled, "You will know when you have a partner. Men are good to women, and women are also good to men. This is just a normal thing."

She was thick-skinned, but the girls in the dormitory were thin-skinned and none of them had a partner yet.

As a result, Dingxiang agreed, "You are right."

Several people looked at her, Dingxiang pursed her lips with a hint of shyness, "I have a date."

Everyone exclaimed.

Of course, Qin Xiang thought of the art major Huang Lin, and asked, "Is it the fellow student from the hometown?"

Dingxiang nodded, "It's him."

Qin Xiang smiled, "Congratulations."

Knowing that Qin Xiang had seen him, Meilin pestered her to ask Huang Lin who was so great that he could seduce their little beauty Dingxiang.

Qin Xiang smiled, "Then you have to ask Dingxiang."

Mingchuan Xiu suggested, "You all have partners now, so you should invite us, your family, to dinner someday. Otherwise, we won't let anyone in easily when you get married."

Qin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard that. Although she had no plans to get married before, the idea of ​​having dinner together was a good one, so she said, "How about I take some time to invite you all to Donglai for a meal?"

Mingchuan Xiu perked up, "Those of you who have partners can be invited one by one."

He then looked at Dingxiang, who nodded, "Okay."

It was settled. Huang Lin's schedule was easy to arrange, but she didn't know how Meng Huaiqing's schedule would be.

Qin Xiang thought for a moment and said, "Why don't Zhou Tian ask Meng Huaiqing to treat you guys? He just came back and he will probably be busy for a while."

This was true. Qin Xiang hardly saw Meng Huaiqing, let alone other people. She only occasionally heard the man lying down beside her very late at night, and she didn't notice it at other times.

The closer it is to the New Year, the easier it is to do in the clothing industry.

Qin Xiang is now almost a hands-off manager, and she feels that she has to visit the branches when she has time, and see where she can open another branch.

There are now a total of twelve branches, which is still a little different from Qin Xiang's expectations. She wants to open at least twenty branches before graduation, and then buy two small trucks for delivery.

When these lines are laid, she will be able to build factories on a large scale.

She wrote down all these plans, opened the map of China, and marked the cities with good development potential one by one. She planned to go on-site inspections after the New Year when the weather gets warmer, and try to open a few more stores before summer comes. She

needs to open branches, and some storefronts in the capital. There is only one storefront of "Xiang Lian" in the capital, so how can she do that? She wants to open her own stores in several districts of the capital.

The location selection of other places can be carried out after the New Year, but she has to look for the address of the capital while she has time.

This year, her father, fourth sister and third brother are all in the capital, and they simply won't go back for the New Year. She doesn't know if her second brother and his friends can come. If they can, it would be great, but if they can't, they won't go back.

The winter vacation is shorter, but it’s still more than 20 days. She has to go to Guangzhou right after the holiday to visit Wu Gang and discuss with Jiao Junxi about the new models and order quantity for next year. This will prevent people from thinking that she, as the boss, doesn’t care about anything. Although she still trusts Wu Gang, nothing is absolute, so it’s better to be careful. In

addition, she has to stop by Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the Hangzhou Silk Garment Factory, and then go to Xiang Yanghong... She

has to go to several places before the Little New Year. After the Little New Year, most of the factories will be on holiday, and before that, she has to discuss orders...

Qin Xiang suddenly felt that she was very busy.
