Chapter 232
Looking at his expression, Qin Xiang was puzzled, "Is this question difficult to answer? I think there should be no secrets between us. If there is, there is, if there is not, there is not, don't you think?"
Meng Huaiqing sneered and shook his head, "I don't answer because I don't know how to answer, because I don't have an answer myself. Marriage is not a simple matter, nor is it something for me alone. If the person I marry is you, I will be very happy, but if it is someone else, there is no meaning in getting married."
After a pause, he carefully stared into Qin Xiang's eyes and continued, "Of course, such a hypothesis does not exist. You say you don't want to get married, so we won't get married. As for children, I really don't want them. I don't think I can be a good father."
Qin Xiang frowned and couldn't answer this question.
When she didn't know the answer, she was curious about what Meng Huaiqing was thinking, but after hearing Meng Huaiqing's thoughts, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
It seemed that she had deprived him of some rights.
Soon they arrived at the hotel where the organizing committee of the competition was staying. It was a very small hotel with an old door and naturally no doorman.
Qin Xiang got out of the car and stopped Meng Huaiqing from getting out, "Let's stop here, and you can have someone pick me up in the evening."
Meng Huaiqing nodded, looked at the two young men who got out from the back and said, "They are employees of my company, they are all locals and familiar with the place. Let them guide you today. If you want to buy something, let them take you shopping."
Qin Xiang did not refuse this arrangement, as she really needed it, "Okay."
Meng Huaiqing said again, "By the way, let Liping and Brother Zhao follow Assistant Cen to learn about this place, and I will arrange another bodyguard to follow you."
Qin Xiang looked and saw a sturdy man over 1.9 meters tall, but he did not wear a black suit and sunglasses like Meng Huaiqing's other bodyguards. He wore mainland-style clothes and could not be distinguished from the others when standing together.
Without waiting for Qin Xiang to refuse, Meng Huaiqing said, "This place is different from the mainland. I feel more at ease if he follows me."
Qin Xiang did not refuse.
After entering the hotel separately with him, the others also came out and prepared to go out.
Although they were curious about the strong man following Qin Xiang, they did not ask too much. Knowing that someone was guiding them, they could not refuse.
Most of them had never been to Hong Kong City. Even though Professor Sun and others had been there, it had been too long. The current Hong Kong City was no longer the same as before.
They were also nervous at first. They brought the best students of China's fashion design major out and set aside this precious day for study. They were prepared to go ahead.
Now that someone was leading them, it would be great.
Director Lu looked at Qin Xiang gratefully and said, "Student Qin Xiang, I am really indebted to you."
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "It's just a small favor, please don't be polite. Mr. Meng has deep feelings for our mainland and has always wanted to make more contributions to the mainland. Now that we are in Hong Kong, he is willing to help everyone."
The words were beautiful, and everyone's impression of Meng Huaiqing was raised to a higher level. Meng Huaiqing's inherent image of a profit-seeking businessman was weakened a lot. The
people sent by Meng Huaiqing were a young man named Long and a lady named Fan. The two were gentle and polite, and did not have any dissatisfaction because of the mainlanders.
Just kidding, the future boss lady might be a mainland girl, how dare they have bad thoughts.
Everyone had heard about Miao Sheng being sent back because he offended his boss's girlfriend. They were chosen to flatter the future boss's wife, so how could they dare to show any dissatisfaction or impatience.
"You are too polite. You are a guest from afar. It is our honor to help as guides."
The two people they found were professionals and very familiar with Hong Kong City. They took the group to the city center. Because the hotel they stayed in was a little far away, they still took a bus there and started to walk around when they got there.
The city center of Hong Kong City is extremely prosperous, with tall buildings everywhere, and the windows are also extremely beautiful and prosperous.
Even though I have experienced the style of Hong Kong City, that was in the mainland. When I really saw it up close, the feeling is still different.
Many students felt that they were just frogs in a well. When Mr. Long and Ms. Fan introduced the group to everyone, they listened very carefully.
Director Lu did not come. The group was led by teachers from their respective schools. The group of more than 30 people was very impressive and attracted the attention of others on the road.
Looking at their clothes, some people unconsciously showed contempt and could guess that they were from the mainland.
Qin Xiang did not think it was a big deal, but some students felt uncomfortable.
A student suggested, "We are fashion designers after all, why don't we buy some Hong Kong clothes to change into?"
Some people disagreed, "We are here to study, not to participate in a beauty pageant. The prices here are so expensive. If we buy some, will we have to eat coarse food for a few months? I don't think it's necessary to get entangled. Sooner or later, the clothes we design will be better than theirs."
After all, they are all gifted and have their own pride. This statement was recognized by everyone.
Professor Sun nodded and praised, "That's right. We didn't steal or rob. We came in openly. They can look at us if they want. Maybe they look at you more because you are handsome and beautiful."
Everyone laughed.
Professor Liang smiled, "I guess they are looking at Qin Xiang."
Qin Xiang was amused, "Maybe they are looking at Professor Xiang."
Although Professor Xiang is over 40 years old, his long hair is very eye-catching, and his facial features are very elegant and charming. He is a very charming middle-aged uncle.
Professor Xiang waved his hand, "I am old now, not the same as before."
As soon as he heard this, he knew that something happened in the past.
The atmosphere became lively, and people became bolder, and they started shopping along the way.
However, some families generally don't want to buy, while others buy if they are better off.
Qin Xiang bought several pieces, not only for herself, but also for her father, third brother, fourth sister, and second brother, and bought for adults and children.
She bought the most bags.
Zhao Wenna bought a piece of clothing for her parents, and she was reluctant to part with it, so she and Jiang Mingteng became Qin Xiang's bag carriers.
Qin Xiang didn't want to take advantage of others, so she bought a scarf for each of them, "Thank you."
They walked around for a whole morning and ate local delicacies on the street.
To be honest, Qin Xiang was not used to eating. She would be happy to be thrown in Hunan or Sichuan, but she would probably find it hard to bear to be thrown in Hong Kong for a month.
Everyone ate a lot, rested for a while on the benches on the street, and then continued to walk around, visiting almost all the clothing stores in the entire area. It
was only five o'clock in the afternoon when they returned to the hotel. Meng Huaiqing had not come yet, so several professors took their students back to summarize today's itinerary. The most important thing was to summarize the popular fashion in Hong Kong City
. Professor Sun, Professor Liang and Professor Xiang were together. The three professors first let seven students from three schools talk about their own insights and discoveries, and then explained the fashion of Hong Kong City from different angles.
Many clothes produced in mainland China today are actually largely imitated from Hong Kong City.
They saw many young people wearing jeans and floral shirts here, and some wearing puff sleeves. Young girls had their hair permed, looking youthful and beautiful.
The charm of the clothing industry lies in the variety of styles, which give different aesthetics.
Today's Hong Kong City is much better than the mainland, so it's no wonder that so many people abandon their families in the mainland and come here to seek their fortune even if they have to sneak across the border.
Everyone only sees the glory of Hong Kong City today, but only Qin Xiang knows how fast the mainland's economy will develop in the future. Although Hong Kong City will be good in the future, compared with the mainland... well, Qin Xiang likes the mainland more.
After the three professors finished speaking, it was getting late, so they had dinner and rested.
However, Qin Xiang hadn't eaten dinner yet, and Meng Huaiqing came to pick her up, and even waited for Qin Xiang for a while downstairs.
Meng Huaiqing still wore a mask and sunglasses, and took Qin Xiang directly to the car and left.
A girl enviously said, "It must be very happy to have a man like this."
Several boys were jealous, "With such a family background, you are still poor and have no wife?"
Professor Xiang laughed, "Forget it, even if you are a rich second generation, you don't have such a handsome face."
Everyone agreed.
Today, when they were walking outside, they saw a lot of advertisements. The female stars on them were beautiful and the male stars were handsome. Meng Huaiqing was excellent in both his background and appearance. If he went to the entertainment industry with that face, all the young actors in the entertainment industry would probably not be his match.
Of course, his family conditions are good, and he is a capable person, so of course he doesn't need to go to the entertainment industry.
At this point, they understood why Qin Xiang went to the national TV station to advertise. He learned it from Gangcheng, and the effect is really good.
They also understand that good wine needs no bush, but nowadays the clothing industry is not just about good design and good production. You have to promote it and let more people know about your clothes to open up the market.
In the car, there were not only Meng Huaiqing but also Zhao Ping. Today, Zhao Ping and He Liping also went to Hong Kong with Assistant Cen. Zhao Ping also went to find a house according to Qin Xiang's request, and then said to Qin Xiang, "The houses here are not very good."
Qin Xiang was surprised, "Why not?"
Zhao Ping glanced at Meng Huaiqing, and then explained, "The thousand-foot mansions they talked about are actually quite small in area."
Qin Xiang was stunned and tried to hold back his laughter, "How small is it?"
"One hundred square meters?"
Qin Xiang said hurriedly, "This area is also OK, just use it as a temporary residence, and occasionally come here to stay for a few days. It doesn't matter if it's a little small."
Zhao Ping frowned, "The price is quite expensive, no wonder many people here go to Pengcheng to buy houses. I said that the houses there are expensive, but compared to here, they are almost free."
Qin Xiang laughed, "Okay, if you think it's suitable, buy it. I have something to do tomorrow afternoon, so you may have to stay here for a few more days."
"Stay a few more days?" Zhao Ping thought about it and nodded. He didn't plan to go back to his hometown this year. It didn't matter where he spent
the New Year. Qin Xiang explained, "I will definitely let you go back before the New Year. It's up to you whether you want to go back to the capital to spend the New Year with us or go back to the provincial capital." When they
arrived at the hotel, Qin Xiang and Meng Huaiqing got out of the car, and Miao Sheng sent Zhao Ping back.
After going upstairs, Meng Huaiqing asked, "Why do you suddenly want to buy a house?"
Qin Xiang replied, "I once had a dream."
Meng Huaiqing was curious.
Qin Xiang sat on the sofa and said, "I dream that one day I will have properties all over the country, so that when I retire, I will have a place to live no matter where I go. So now, whenever I go to a place, I subconsciously look for local houses, either to open a branch or to buy them and sell them later."
Meng Huaiqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Your hobby is quite unique."
Qin Xiang rolled his eyes, "If you want to laugh, just laugh, it's okay. You don't understand."
Especially after the 1990s, large cities with rapid economic development faced land expropriation problems and began to demolish. How many people became rich overnight by demolishing.
Although Qin Xiang likes to make money by working hard for his career, he doesn't want to miss such a good opportunity to become rich overnight by demolishing.
She followed too many rules in her last life, and this time she wanted to live freely. Not only did she buy a house herself, but she also wanted to persuade her relatives and friends to buy one. In short, she wanted to buy a house at a reasonable price.
Meng Huaiqing laughed, "Then won't I be able to benefit from you in the future?"
Qin Xiang raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It depends on your performance."
He paused, "And it's not certain whether we can still be together by then."
The human heart is the most unpredictable. Now that they love each other, they may not think about what will happen after they separate, but who knows what will happen in a few decades.
Meng Huaiqing's eyes sank, a little hurt, "So you still plan to change people?"
"Maybe one day you're bald and have a beer belly, I'll give up on you and maybe find a little puppy to keep."
After thinking for a while, he said, "But by then maybe I won't be pretty anymore, and you might want to find a pretty girl. So we're both fair."
Fair?
Meng Huaiqing gritted his teeth and reached out to touch her, "You're a heartless person. I want to be with you for a lifetime, but you're thinking of finding a little puppy when I'm ugly."
Although he didn't understand those words, Meng Huaiqing roughly guessed what the little puppy meant.
Qin Xiang laughed out loud, "So I said that we can separate you and find your true love..."
"My true love?" Meng Huaiqing pressed her down on the sofa, with his hands on both sides, looking at her and said, "Isn't it you?"
Without giving Qin Xiang a chance to speak again, Meng Huaiqing leaned over and kissed her.
Meng Huaiqing also used practical actions to prove his irreplaceability, so Qin Xiang's waist was sore and her legs were weak.
The next morning when Meng Huaiqing called her, she almost didn't get up.
The winter in Hong Kong is mild, and the cotton-padded clothes brought from the capital are not wearable at all.
In order to participate in today's exhibition, they have made sufficient preparations. Qin Xiang, Zhao Wenna and Jiang Mingteng all wore clothes designed and made by themselves. They came out to represent their school and the mainland. Even if they are not as good as those clothes in the fashion show, they are unwilling to fall behind.
Qin Xiang wore a long-sleeved cheongsam with slits, and her hair was tied up behind her head with a wooden hairpin. After changing her clothes, she saw that there was still time, so she teased Meng Huaiqing there, posing in a seductive posture and asked, "Does it look good?"
Meng Huaiqing narrowed his eyes and said, "I think you should change your clothes to wear better."
Qin Xiang raised an eyebrow, "Does it not look good?"
She turned around. The clothes were beautiful and her figure was good. What was wrong with her?
Meng Huaiqing's Adam's apple rolled, "Not appropriate."
Qin Xiang should be seen alone in the room like this.
Qin Xiang instantly understood Meng Huaiqing's mind and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, "Look at you. I won't change it."
Taking out the cosmetics she bought yesterday, Qin Xiang put on a makeup that matched the clothes for herself, and there were no other decorations.
She is a student now, there is no need to dress too gorgeously. She
also put on a white fox fur shawl over the clothes, and put on half-heeled high heels, which looked quite decent.
While Qin Xiang was busy, Meng Huaiqing was watching by the side. After she finished packing, Meng Huaiqing said, "Let's go."
Qin Xiang nodded, took his arm and went out. Meng Huaiqing said, "Can I go with you?"
Qin Xiang looked at him, "Aren't you worried that someone will see us together?"
"Why should I be afraid?" Meng Huaiqing blinked.
Qin Xiang pointed at the mask and sunglasses on his face, "Take them off first before you say that?"
Meng Huaiqing stretched out his hand to pull him, but Qin Xiang hurriedly stopped him, "Forget it, don't come with me even if you go. I'm only here for a few days, and I don't want to use this little time to deal with and avoid paparazzi."
Meng Huaiqing regretted, "Then our relationship still can't be made public."
Qin Xiang didn't care about this, "Whether it's public or not, you are my boyfriend. Besides, it's been public in the capital a long time ago. There are many students in Tsinghua University who don't know that we are dating." At first, some
people were curious about the two of them being a couple and took a few more glances, but after a long time, no one paid attention to it anymore.
Meng Huaiqing was helpless, "Okay, you are beautiful and you are right."
"You are handsome and you are not right either." The two of them took the elevator downstairs, and Miao Sheng, who was fully armed, had come with his bodyguards wearing black sunglasses.
Qin Xiang followed Meng Huaiqing and instantly felt like a gangster's sister-in-law, and there really was a bit of that shadow.
The group got into the car before leaving. The two cars stopped at the entrance of the hotel. An old man and a young man got out of the car and asked the security guard at the entrance, "Where is Meng Huaiqing?"
The security guard frowned and said unhappily, "I don't know."
"I think you are tired of living. Do you know who I am..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw several paparazzi with microphones surrounding him. The two hurriedly wanted to get in the car to evacuate, but the paparazzi blocked the car door very tactfully, "Boss Jiang, are you bringing the second young master here to find Mr. Meng?"
"May I ask what is your attitude towards the second young master's sexual orientation?"
"May I ask if your boyfriend is still in Hong Kong now?"
"Excuse me..."
"Get lost."
The paparazzi don't care if you are the boss or not. They just want to know if the news is explosive enough and get the first-hand information. Once they get it, the other party will have to pay enough money to keep things quiet.
Moreover, Jiang's is not as good as before. The stock price often hits the limit. There have been disputes within Jiang's enterprise, and now it is even more serious.
A paparazzi suddenly said, "I heard that Boss Jiang and the second young master went to the mainland some time ago. Did they negotiate a business deal? How is it going there?"
"Second young master, second young master..."
"Mr. Jiang..."
The father and son went out early in the morning and thought they had gotten rid of the paparazzi. Unexpectedly, they were surrounded by paparazzi as soon as they arrived here.
In the car not far away, Qin Xiang looked back and said in surprise, "Are those the paparazzi in the rumors?"
Meng Huaiqing smiled, "Yes, that's them. Aren't they crazy?"
"Indeed, they are crazy." There were many paparazzi in the entertainment industry in the previous generation, but the actors in the mainland during this period were still receiving fixed salaries. The entertainment industry had not developed, but it was the golden age of the development of the Hong Kong entertainment industry. This was the golden age of the development of the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Hong Kong produced many stars, handsome men and beautiful women, and some high-quality beauties were talked about even in the past few decades.
As famous as the Hong Kong stars are the paparazzi.
Qin Xiang had only seen them on TV, and it was the first time to observe them up close.
She glanced at the man who seemed to be enjoying the show beside her, and threatened, "Don't announce our relationship while I'm in Hong Kong."
She didn't want someone to put a microphone to her mouth, it was so dirty.
And so many people were surrounding her, talking to her one after another, just like flies, it would be annoying to death.
Meng Huaiqing choked, nodded after a while, "I know." He
was a little disappointed.
The car turned a corner and couldn't see the situation over there. Qin Xiang was puzzled, "Didn't they recognize you?"
"No, I asked someone to find those paparazzi, they don't dare to come and block me." Meng Huaiqing said.
Qin Xiang was stunned, "Can they still listen to you?"
Meng Huaiqing smiled, "In Hong Kong City, any big family will support one or two newspapers or radio stations, the purpose is to control public opinion."
Qin Xiang understood, "Throw dirty water on the opponent at the critical moment."
Hearing this, Meng Huaiqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but also affirmed, "To tell the truth."
Qin Xiang thought about what happened to the Jiang family before, and then she understood who Miao Sheng had found. She even thought that even if she didn't show up, Meng Huaiqing might have a way to deal with the father and son of the Jiang family.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Thinking about the time when you were injured, I didn't let Miao Sheng do it, would you have arranged him the same way?"
Meng Huaiqing held her hand and said seriously, "Although the result is the same, the meaning is different. It is proof that you value me and keep me in your heart. I will never forget it."
The car stopped, Meng Huaiqing let go of her hand and said, "Go ahead, I'll pick you up later, and tell Director Lu and the others by the way that I will host a banquet for them in the evening. I hope they will not refuse and let me do my best to be a good host."
Qin Xiang nodded, got off the car, and waved.
The car left, Qin Xiang went in to meet Director Lu and the others, and then prepared to go to the fashion show. Mr. Long was also very considerate and still let the bus take them over.
Director Lu was embarrassed. "It should have been our organizing committee's responsibility, but Mr. Meng ended up spending the money." Then he looked at Qin Xiang and said, "We are taking advantage of Miss Qin."
