Chapter 221

Yunna mainly photographed clothes in the 'Xiangsi' store, focusing on high-end products. Yunna is beautiful and has a good temperament, and the effect of the photos is also very good.

But it's almost the end of the semester, and she is not in school?

Seeing her confusion, Li Xiulian explained to her, "Since the commercial for you was broadcast, someone came to us to act. I have only been back for a few days. She is busy there and it will probably take a few days to come back."

Qin Xiang was stunned, and immediately said happily, "Then congratulations to you."

Students of the art academy naturally hope to have the opportunity to perform. They are both outstanding in the dance academy, so it is normal for them to be selected.

Hearing this, Li Xiulian pursed her lips and smiled, "I'm so sorry for you. If you hadn't given us this opportunity, we wouldn't have been discovered. Yunna and I are very grateful to you. We will definitely help you if we can. Because the holiday is approaching, I won't take any jobs later. I can shoot for you anytime, but even if Yunna wants to come back to shoot for you, I'm afraid she can't come back."

Qin Xiang was helpless, "Then I'll shoot yours first. But as the saying goes, a piece of gold will shine wherever it is. Even if you don't have this opportunity I gave you, you will still be able to make a name for yourself in the future."

She felt that Li Xiulian looked familiar before, and now thinking about this name, isn't it the actress who was popular all over the country in the 1990s? But the name doesn't seem to be this name, maybe she changed her name?

Unlike Yunna's cold and elegant appearance, Lee Soo-ryeon's face is full of flesh, which is more in line with the beauty requirements of this era. She is very energetic, full of charm and very beautiful.

If possible, she wants to sign a long-term cooperation agreement with Lee Soo-ryeon.

When she said this, Lee Soo-ryeon was surprised, "Is this possible?"

Although she was called to shoot performances, they were all marginal characters who were dispensable. She still had a long way to go before she could really stand in front of the public.

Qin Xiang smiled, her smile was like an old wolf luring a lamb into a net, "Of course, our cooperation itself is mutually beneficial, so don't think too much. If possible, I am willing to sign a five-year cooperation agreement with you."

Li Xiu Lian was a little excited now, and nodded quickly, "I do."

She and Yun Na were very grateful to Qin Xiang. Qin Xiang not only gave them the opportunity to make a name for themselves, but also taught them how to put on makeup that suited them when they were shooting the commercials, and even taught them how to match clothes. These benefited them a lot, so they were not looked down upon when they joined the crew.

Li Xiulian said, "That is because Yunna is not here. If she were here, she would definitely agree."

Qin Xiang nodded, "Okay, I will write the agreement when I go back. I will ask our manager Mi to come and discuss the filming with you in the next two days. He will also bring the agreement. You can ask him if you have any requirements."

"No requirements." Li Xiulian was very sincere. She almost said that she would film with Qin Xiang for free.

But it was impossible to film without money because she herself was short of money. They were filming some small roles and the money was very little. For artists like them who need to dress up, it was a drop in the bucket.

But Qin Xiang was different. She was generous and the commission she gave was high, which was enough for them to spend for a while.

Qin Xiang chatted with Li Xiulian for a while and asked if there were any other candidates to recommend.

Li Xiulian hesitated, "In fact, there are girls like Yunna in other majors, but I don't know if they are willing."

Regardless of whether Qin Xiang is willing or not, she has to give it a try. Li Xiulian took Qin Xiang to find a girl. The girl was indeed suitable, but unfortunately, after asking, she was not interested in shooting a crappy commercial.

Qin Xiang didn't want to force it, so she went with Li Xiulian. Li Xiulian was a little embarrassed that she failed to introduce him

. "How about I ask around?"

Qin Xiang nodded. "Okay, I'll look for him too." When they went back, Meng Huaiqing had already returned. When he learned that she was looking for actors to shoot commercials, Meng Huaiqing suddenly said, "How about I find one for you from Hong Kong?" Qin Xiang paused, blinked, and said, "Hong Kong stars?" You know, Hong Kong stars were very popular in mainland China in the 1980s and 1990s. Many young people liked to listen to Hong Kong music and dance disco in the park. She thought about it for a while, shook her head, and said, "Forget it. How much money do Hong Kong stars make? I guess they don't care about my little money." She had thought it through. Anyway, the customers of "Xiangsi" rely on word of mouth. Even if there is an additional Zhao Wenna, they still can't handle the private customization. So let's do it this way for now. Before the New Year, they should focus on promoting the brand of "Xiang Lian" and make a lot of money by taking advantage of the public's attention to the New Year. Meng Huaiqing did not force it. He made a suggestion and then gave it up after it was rejected. In fact, if Meng Huaiqing were to say, none of those women was more beautiful, durable and elegant than Qin Xiang. But he had his own selfish desires. He wanted to appreciate such beauty alone and no one else could see it. In fact, there was another suitable candidate, that was Cui Xueer, but Cui Xueer's parents were both cadres with high status. It was estimated that their daughter would not be interested in shooting an advertisement to make a few bucks. Forget it, let's just leave it at that. The next day, Qin Xiang told Mi Hongjun about the incident. Mi Hongjun glanced at her and said, "Sister, why don't you take the photo yourself?" Qin Xiang was stunned, "Me?" Mi Hongjun nodded, looking at her with starry eyes, "Sister, I'm not exaggerating, with your looks and temperament, even movie stars can't compare to you. If you take the photo, I tell you, the clothes in our store will be sold out." Qin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, this was something she had never thought about. Speaking of temperament, one kind is born with it, like Yunna. One kind is acquired after years of sedimentation, like Professor Tan, that is accumulated over the years, naturally, and the last kind is like Cui Xueer, who has a good family background and has been cultivated since childhood. As for her, Qin Xiang herself didn't feel anything. If she really had to be said to have temperament, she might be like Professor Tan. After all, she had been a boss's wife for so many years. She usually paid attention to cultural cultivation and often did some elegant and high-end things. Even if she didn't like it, she would slowly cultivate it. Unfortunately, Qin Xiang's ambition was not here, and she didn't want to stand in front of people by shooting commercials. If she had to stand in front of the public, she would rather appear as an entrepreneur. Qin Xiang shook her head without hesitation, "Forget it, I don't have that much time." Mi Hongjun felt a little regretful, but he couldn't force her. He knew that Qin Xiang was busy recently. Mi Hongjun said, "Then I'll go and connect with Li Xiulian first."

Qin Xiang nodded and instructed, "Remember to bring Qin Dong with you when you go. It's time for him to exercise."

"I know." Mi Hongjun chuckled, "But Jingjing won't have any objections."

Qin Xiang rolled her eyes at him. She didn't know where this guy got his confidence from. After all, she was the one who called her sister every day, so Qin Xiang had to tell her some things. "No matter how good and generous Jingjing is, she is still a woman. Women don't want their boyfriends to get too close to other women, especially if the other party is a beautiful woman. But there is no way. You have experience in this matter, so I can only hand it over to you, but you have to grasp the degree yourself, understand?"

Mi Hongjun's face sank, and he nodded quickly, "I understand. It means that you must treat your girlfriend wholeheartedly and concentrate on it. You can't eat in the bowl and look at the pot."

Qin Xiang smiled, "It's good that you know. Let me tell you, I am not only your sister, but also Jingjing's good friend. If you dare to let her down, I will definitely not forgive you."

"I know." Mi Hongjun said seriously, "I promise I will answer the call. Don't worry, we are fine and in love. We have agreed that we will register for marriage when I am old enough."

Qin Xiang couldn't help laughing, "Okay, I know. Be careful in the cinema. If you really want to kiss, just buy the last row of tickets next time."

She regretted it as soon as she finished speaking. Isn't this confessing herself? Sure enough, Mi Hongjun looked at her in shock. It is not known whether he was shocked by the meaning of Qin Xiang's words or thought of something through this incident.

"Okay, hurry up and find a storefront quickly, and promote it while the advertisement is on."

Mi Hongjun nodded immediately, "I know."

Then Qin Xiang fled.

It's all Meng Huaiqing's fault. He had to kiss her. Now, Mi Hongjun doesn't know what he thinks of her.

But thinking of what Mi Hongjun said, Qin Xiang couldn't help laughing. According to the current marriage law, a man must be 22 years old to get married. Mi Hongjun was born in the first month of the year, but he is not even 19 yet.

The love between these two people has a long way to go. They still have to wait for at least three years.

After explaining this, Qin Xiang took advantage of her free time to start looking for a store.

The capital city is so big, not everyone is willing to travel so far to buy clothes. Someone suggested this before. There were customers who came from other districts and said that reversing was a waste of time. It would be nice if there were branches.

With this in mind, Qin Xiang ran to a district that was relatively close to here. The first thing she looked for was a department store or some residential area.

The clothing of "Xiang Lian" is positioned for younger people, so even if it is a residential area, it has to look for places with many young people. But she also did not miss the areas around some large factories. Although the factories in the urban area will move away in ten or twenty years, some light industrial factories are still there.

Finally, Qin Xiang looked around for a long time and chose two places, one is a storefront near a toy factory, and the other is a storefront near the railway company's family compound.

Both locations are good and the distance is suitable. Originally, I thought of seeing which storefront was for sale and then buying it. As a result, when I asked the housing management office, they all wanted to sell it.

How could Qin Xiang not agree? Although the asking price is quite high, it will be valuable in the future.

When Qin Xiang went out, she carried her ID and money with her, and she wanted to transfer the ownership on the spot.

Unfortunately, the owner of the shop near the railway company dormitory was not off work yet, so if you want to transfer the ownership, you have to wait until tomorrow.

Qin Xiang agreed immediately, and then went to the Housing Management Office to find the landlord near the toy factory, and bargained to set the price.

When she went to handle the formalities, the landlord rolled his eyes and said, "You look like you should be rich, but you even care about this hundred or eighty."

Qin Xiang laughed, "There is no way, a small business must control costs. Big sister, you are a tolerant and generous person, you will definitely not care about such a small matter with us, right?"

Big sister was upset and rolled her eyes, "I can't argue with you."

Qin Xiang didn't care about her anger and frustration, anyway, the house was hers after she bought it.

After Zhao Ping paid the money, she took the key. She was grateful again for this era, which did not limit purchases, allowing her to add another store on the road to the landlord.

Looking at the storefront, Qin Xiang was very excited.

What made her happy was that the storefront looked a bit old on the outside, but the inside was good, with white walls and clean everywhere.

No wonder the landlord kept humming and saying that Qin Xiang got a bargain when she gave her the key.

It seems that she got a bargain indeed.

Qin Xiang took a look and then said to Zhao Ping, "Just pull out the wires in this store and replace the lights with the same ones in the university town. As for the outside, I will ask Huang Lin to paint a conspicuous modern girl and then open the store as soon as possible. Two salesmen will be selected from several stores. Let Tan Xiu continue to recruit people."

Zhao Ping nodded, "Okay."

Zhao Ping has a calm temperament and is not talkative, but he is steady in his work. He

originally wanted to train He Liping as an assistant, but He Liping is still handing over the financial affairs, and many times he can't follow her like Zhao Ping.

After explaining this, Qin Xiang took him to the railway company dormitory to take a look, "Come over tomorrow to negotiate with them, as long as the price is reasonable, about the same as today's, you can buy it. A hundred or eighty more is no problem, if it's more, forget it."

Zhao Ping nodded, "I understand."

It was late, Zhao Ping sent Qin Xiang back to the courtyard, and when they got home, Meng Huaiqing hadn't come back yet, and the chefs were cooking.

Qin Xiang originally thought of just hiring a nanny. But she felt uncomfortable with an outsider in her little home, and the nanny's cooking would definitely not be as exquisite as Meng Huaiqing's chef, and she couldn't be divided into two flavors of dishes. So in the end, she gave up the idea.

But after today, she became more determined to buy a car, because it was too inconvenient to not have a car.

But she couldn't just buy a car whenever she wanted. Only this year did the country begin to allow the sale of private cars. To buy a car, not only did she need a source of supply, but she also had to get a license. Getting a license was very troublesome, and maybe she could find someone to get one, but the car would be expensive. A Santana costs about 200,000 yuan this year.

What does 200,000 yuan mean? 10,000 yuan can be considered rich, let alone 200,000 yuan. In an era when the average wage per capita was 30 to 50 yuan, this was a huge sum of money.

Even if Qin Xiang had some money in her hands, she wouldn't dare to buy it just because she had the money.

After thinking about it, she decided to forget it because she still had to save money to build a factory.

Not long after, Meng Huaiqing came back. After hearing about Qin Xiang's troubles, Meng Huaiqing suggested, "Do you need my help?"

Qin Xiang asked curiously, "Can you bargain for me?"

Meng Huaiqing smiled, "No. But I can help you buy a cheap car."

Qin Xiang thought about it and decided to forget it. Although she needed a car now, it was not an emergency. If she really had to, she could shamelessly use Meng Huaiqing's.

So she joked, "How about I rent your car?"

Meng Huaiqing was stunned, with a complicated expression, "Rent?"

Qin Xiang nodded, "Yes, I must drive around during the winter vacation. It is not realistic to buy a car for this, but taking a car is too troublesome, especially the route from the capital to Ningcheng, where driving is more convenient. I will pay the rental fee. Let Zhao Ping drive, he has been learning to drive recently."

"Okay, then you rent it." Meng Huaiqing said regretfully, "I originally wanted to be your driver, but it seems that it is not possible. Miss Qin does not seem to need it."

Thinking of the way they traveled together during the summer vacation, Qin Xiang could no longer look at Meng Huaiqing directly. She was worried that if she walked all the way again, she would not have the strength to walk when she arrived at the provincial capital.

The winter vacation is busy and full of tasks, and it won't be as leisurely as the summer vacation. In comparison, Zhao Ping is more reassuring.

She shook her head, "Mr. Meng is also very busy. You have to work harder. You have to go back to Gangcheng for the New Year? We will act separately, and maybe we can meet again before the New Year."

Meng Huaiqing chuckled and didn't argue too much. It happened that he still had work to do here, so let's talk about it after he was done.

As for the New Year, he hasn't decided yet, and it depends on the old lady's opinion in Gangcheng.

The two didn't mention it again. Finally, Meng Huaiqing said, "I have several cars here. Let Zhao Ping drive when I need them."

Qin Xiang nodded, but thought about writing a car rental activity. It's not that she and Meng Huaiqing are estranged, but she feels that feelings are feelings, and work is work, and one thing is another. Like the chef who cooks for the family every day, didn't she ask for money?

Meng Huaiqing probably knew her character, so he didn't hesitate. It doesn't matter whether she gets paid or not, no one cares.

After a few days, Yunna didn't come back yet, but Mi Hongjun found the photographer he had worked with before to take Li Xiulian to shoot a commercial.

The style of the commercial is there, and the rest depends on how Li Xiulian and Mi Hongjun design it.

Qin Xiang was busy with class, and only went to see her at noon, and found that Li Xiulian had made great progress.

I still remember that during the first shoot a few months ago, Li Xiulian didn't know where to put her hands. Now she is standing there, perfectly interpreting the youthful beauty that a girl of this age should have, and she also knows how to find the camera.

Qin Xiang was very satisfied, and Li Xiulian was also very happy, "It was all because of your guidance before, and then I had several more opportunities to practice, that I have today."

"Then you just keep working hard." Qin Xiang smiled and asked Mi Hongjun about the new store. Mi Hongjun said, "I have also looked for two other places in farther areas. There are two good ones. I am waiting for the landlord to come to discuss the rent tomorrow. In addition, the two sets you bought before are also being packed up, and we will try to open them on New Year's Day."

Calculating the time, it is only five days away from New Year's Day. To be honest, I am quite nervous.

But there will be two days off on New Year's Day, which is a good promotion opportunity, and Qin Xiang will naturally not miss it.

Qin Xiang asked, "If we can make a decision before New Year's Day, hire some temporary workers and work overtime to get them out. As long as we can get them out, the wages will be doubled."

Labor is still cheap in these days. More than one yuan a day for a worker is considered high. For her, let alone two yuan a day, she can do three yuan. Time is money.

This was also something that annoyed her because she hadn't prepared for it earlier.

But it's not too late now. You can't eat a big fat man in one bite. You have to take it step by step.

At least two stores can be opened, and Tan Xiu will have to recruit and train people later. No one will be idle.

After coming out of here, Qin Xiang hurried back to school. After class in the afternoon, he went to the front room to give some clerks blood injections.

Especially Qin Dong, Qin Xiang simply pulled him to brainwash, "Dongzi, you are from our Qinjiatun, look at Mao Yuxiang and Liu Xiaocao, both of them can do things on their own, when they first came, they were not as good as you, you have to work harder, don't be outdone by them."

Qin Dong was shocked and said hurriedly, "Don't worry, I will definitely work hard and learn skills from Manager Mi."

Qin Xiang was still very satisfied with his promise, she encouraged with a smile, "I am very optimistic about you, you will also be a member of the management of our company in the future, as long as you perform well, maybe it will be your turn to distribute the house next time, don't you think so?"

When he heard about the house, Qin Dong's eyes lit up even more.

A house in the capital, if he has a house in the capital, it will be a great honor for his family. His father must be very happy.

Qin Dong stood up straight with a serious expression, "I promise to complete the task."

Qin Xiang was very satisfied with Qin Dong's mental state. No wonder those brands in the future are so good at fooling people. They fool people and make them crippled. There are really benefits. With his

mental state improved, Qin Xiang was not polite, "Xiao Wang and the others have also mastered the store's affairs. You should help your brother Mi recently. It's a bit busy, but you can learn something."

"Okay, I know."

Qin Xiang just finished speaking, and saw someone coming in from outside, and hurriedly greeted him, "Ms. Cui, you are here."

But in his heart, he was muttering: Why is Cui Xueer here? Is she going to return the clothes?
