Chapter 252

As if worried that Qin Xiang would think too much, Meng Huaiqing comforted her again, "Don't think about it, it's my fault, I just said it casually, don't take it seriously."

Qin Xiang was speechless, and after a long while, she said "oh".

She couldn't remember how many times Meng Huaiqing had said this, maybe the third time or the fourth time, Qin Xiang would sometimes think too much, Meng Huaiqing said these words, is he thinking about getting married?

Then should she break up with him?

But when Qin Xiang thought of this possibility, she felt very uncomfortable, she didn't want to break up with Meng Huaiqing.

So every time she avoided answering this question.

Meng Huaiqing hugged her and soothed her, "It's my fault. Don't think about it anymore. Let's go to sleep, okay?"

Seeing Qin Xiang's thoughts drifting, Meng Huaiqing regretted it, "Don't tell me again about breaking up with me and letting me find another woman to marry. If I needed another woman, you would have been out of place. I didn't find one because I only like you. I want to marry you, not someone else. If that person is not you, I would rather be single for the rest of my life." It

would be a lie for Qin Xiang to say she wasn't moved when she heard this. She looked at the anxious and no longer calm man in front of her, and her heart relaxed for a moment.

She heard her say, "Okay."

Meng Huaiqing was stunned, and then asked, "What?"

Qin Xiang's face flushed slightly, but she refused to say anything. Meng Huaiqing was very excited, hugged Qin Xiang and kissed her, "I think three times a night is still okay."

I don't know if it was because of too much excitement, the three times a night turned into four times a night. When Qin Xiang was about to fall asleep, she heard Meng Huaiqing say, "I will give you the best proposal ceremony."

Qin Xiang wanted to say no, and wanted to say that she regretted it.

But she was too tired, and fell asleep as soon as her eyelids closed.

After a few days, Meng Huaiqing didn't mention it again. Qin Xiang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that the matter was over.

The two of them didn't see each other often, and within a few days they heard that Meng Huaiqing had returned to Hong Kong City, and that he was going abroad via Hong Kong City.

He left in a hurry, so Qin Xiang didn't see him, but she didn't care since he was often away from home.

She was also busy.

The three branches developed by Tan Xiu opened at the beginning of summer, and their styles continued the consistent style of "Xiang Lian". Because of the new advertisements before the fashion exhibition, the advertising effect is still there, and the opening also ushered in the peak season for sales.

Qin Xiang only attended the opening ceremony of one of the branches, and then checked the situation of other branches along the way before hurriedly returning to the capital.

Based on the situation of last year's competition, Qin Xiang wrote the plan for this year's fashion design competition early and handed it to Li Minghui.

Because of the many lessons learned before, Li Minghui didn't dare to do anything this time even if he had some opinions, and he handed in the plan honestly.

A few days later, the plan was approved, and the school was going to hold the fashion design competition again.

However, this time was different from last year. Last year, the competition was only held for Tsinghua University. This time, Qin Xiang wanted to hold it together with Capital University and the Academy of Fine Arts.

Of course, the prize money and rewards of the competition are still provided by Qin Xiang. As a profit and feedback, Qin Xiang will pay for the manuscripts, whether they win or not.

The school is familiar with this matter, and what needs to be done now is to convince the leaders of the two schools to agree to this.

Professor Sun knows a lot of people, so he and Professor Tan took Qin Xiang to two universities. The reason for choosing these two schools is because they have acquaintances. When I participated in the domestic design competition last year, Professor Ma from Capital University and Professor Xiang from Tsinghua University were also acquaintances. There were also several award-winning students who should be contacted.

After all, Capital University and Tsinghua University are neighbors, so the first stop was Capital University, and I went directly to the office to find Professor Ma.

When Professor Ma saw Qin Xiang, he said happily, "Qin Xiang, welcome to our school."

After entering the office, Professor Ma found a stool for them to sit down, and his eyes fell on Qin Xiang, "Why, do you plan to come to our school for postgraduate entrance examination in the future?"

Qin Xiang was happy and shook his head, "Professor Ma, I'm only a sophomore, I wonder if you have heard about the design competition held by our school last year."

"Design competition?" Professor Ma laughed, "I've heard of it. We've also held one, but unfortunately our school isn't as wealthy as yours, and the prize money isn't worth mentioning."

Professor Sun rolled his eyes and said, "Let's get this straight. Qin Xiang is a good student. After making money, he wants to give back to the school and the people he knows. This was originally going to be held in our school, but Qin Xiang thought of you, and finally decided to hold it together in three schools. You guys are involved." "

Professor Ma was surprised, "You mean the three schools will hold a design competition together?"

Qin Xiang nodded, and showed him the plan she made, "Our school has already approved this plan, if your school also approves it, then we will continue to lobby the Academy of Fine Arts." While

she was talking, Professor Ma was browsing the plan. After a while, Professor Ma finished browsing it roughly, and then he said with a complicated mood, "So much prize money? Counting the money for buying the manuscript, it is not a small amount."

"It's really not a small amount." Qin Xiang calculated the amount for Professor Ma. "I've increased the prize money this time. The first prize is 800 yuan, the second prize is 500 yuan, the fourth prize is 300 yuan, the third prize is 100 yuan, and the total prize is 3,800 yuan. At first glance, this amount of money is really not a small amount, but I have the right to use all these manuscripts. In the long run, I am not at a disadvantage, after all, I have not built a factory yet, nor have I set up a design department. If I really want to design by myself, I cannot do it. Of course, I can directly pay students to buy them, but I think it is more meaningful to hold it in the name of a competition. "

Professor Sun said to Professor Ma, "When we were on the train last year, weren't you jealous of the students who won the competition and had the opportunity to make their works into ready-made clothes? Now the opportunity is given to you. , if you don't seize the opportunity, then don't say sour words. "

Seeing Professor Ma hesitate, Professor Sun became anxious, "Students study for several years, isn't it just to put the clothes they design into production, and how many of those students who have graduated can do it? Although they haven't graduated, they have the opportunity to make ready-made clothes, which can add something to their resumes. If we didn't have some friendship, would you have such a good thing?"

Professor Ma didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Why are you in such a hurry? I was very interested when I heard about this before, and I also wanted to talk to Qin Xiang at that time. This is not a student of our school, so I didn't dare to bring it up. Now that you have taken the initiative to bring it up, I must be tempted. But I'm not the leader of the college, you have to give me time to report it to the leaders for a meeting to discuss this matter, right?"

Professor Sun snorted.

Professor Tan advised, "What Lao Ma said is reasonable. For example, if we agree to the plan, we have to show it to the leaders of the college. We can only implement it after they make the decision. So why are you yelling at Lao Ma? It's all for the students' good. The school leaders can't refuse to agree. We still have to go to the Academy of Fine Arts and notify them at the time. If it doesn't work, we can do it ourselves. It worked well last year."

"Look at Professor Tan. What he said is reasonable. You are too impatient." Professor Ma was still worried that Professor Sun would not believe it, so he took the plan directly to the school leaders.

Qin Xiang and the others didn't stay any longer after returning, "We still have to go to the Academy of Fine Arts, so we won't bother you."

After she left, the leaders of the Capital University School of Art also held a meeting to discuss the matter.

Qin Xiang and his team turned around and went to the Academy of Fine Arts. It was impossible to find Professor Liu there, so they had to find Professor Xiang.

Unfortunately, Professor Xiang was not there, so they saw Professor Liu again. After hesitating for a while, Professor Sun told Professor Liu about the matter.

Professor Sun's idea was very simple. It was all for the good of the students. Holding such a competition would only have benefits and no harm. There was no way the Academy of Fine Arts would not agree.

However, he still underestimated the degree of a person's decadent thinking. As soon as he finished speaking, Professor Liu disagreed, "This is funded by students? It doesn't sound right. Art is an elegant behavior, but it is mixed with money. It is tacky and vulgar. Our Academy of Fine Arts will not participate."

Professor Liu was scolded by Qin Xiang on the train before, and he did not expect a few words to make a person with rigid thinking change. Unexpectedly, Professor Liu insisted on his own way in this matter and refused, "You can find other schools. Our Academy of Fine Arts is a place for serious art. "

You are elegant, but your elegance is based on your wealth. Most of those students come from ordinary families. Their participation in the competition not only gives them a chance to earn some money, but also increases their experience. When they work in the future, they can proudly tell the employer that they once had ready-made clothes made. Isn't that good?" Professor Liu pursed

his lips, obviously disagreeing with this theory.

Professor Sun pulled Professor Tan and said sarcastically, "Just like you said, some people have plenty of money, so they think that students are just like them, and they are all pursuing elegant art. Little do they know that they study hard for ten years just to get a good job and earn a salary to support their families. How many elegant people are there like him? Let's go."

Professor Sun didn't like Professor Liu's pedantry and didn't want to talk to him anymore. He said directly, "Let's go, let's go to other schools to ask."

Several people came out directly, and before they walked far, they heard someone calling them. Looking back, they were also acquaintances, the two students who went to Haicheng and Gangcheng together, Cao Guanglin and Ding Zhihao.

But the two are about to graduate this year.

They haven't even gone to participate in internships yet.

Professor Sun asked, "You didn't go for internship?"

Cao Guanglin shook his head, "We went to Hong Kong to study and felt that we still had many shortcomings. We will continue our postgraduate studies this year. I accidentally heard what you said to Professor Liu just now. We just want to ask, if our school does not participate in the name of the school, can we participate in our own name?"

Qin Xiang looked at the two of them in surprise, and Cao Guanglin smiled embarrassedly, "There is no way. We are studying design, and some materials cost a lot. Although the country also provides subsidies, we also want to be more relaxed. If we have the spare capacity, we also want to give back. At home."

Ding Zhihao next to him also had the same idea, "Yes, it's not easy for our family to work hard to support us to go to school, isn't it just because they hope that we can have a bright future? But the fashion design major is different from the professional art courses. Professional art students may pursue elegance and sentiment, but we study this in order to get a good job and make more money."

They were helpless about Professor Liu's thoughts. They saw it last time. To put it nicely, people like Professor Liu pursue art and have the arrogance of an artist. To put it bluntly, he is just talking without any pain in his back and is ignorant of the sufferings of the world.

Qin Xiang looked at Professor Sun, who couldn't help but sigh, but he still wanted to cooperate through the school, so he said, "Let's talk directly to the leaders of your college."

Several people went and came back, but saw Professor Liu coming out of the office with a dark face. When he saw them, he held his chin and was very dissatisfied. He stood there and said, "Why are you here again?"

Professor Sun rolled his eyes at him and knocked on the door and went in.

Several people followed him in. Ding Zhihao dragged Cao Guanglin and nodded to Professor Liu and followed him in.

Professor Liu stood there with a cold face for a while and turned to leave.

Qin Xiang and others came in. After being introduced, they learned that this was the dean of the School of Design of the Academy of Fine Arts. In fact, Professor Sun and Professor Tan also knew each other. They originally wanted to ask Professor Xiang to introduce him, but they didn't expect to be angry with Professor Liu.

It was natural for them to exchange pleasantries when they came in.

Professor Sun directly told Dean Wang the purpose of his visit. Dean Wang was surprised, and then smiled and said, "This is a good thing. I have heard about it from Professor Xiang before. It's a pity that our school is short of funds, otherwise we would also like to increase the amount of the bonus for students."

Professor Sun then handed the plan to the other party, "Dean Wang, this is the plan made by our classmate Qin Xiang, you can take a look. Although the final design draft belongs to Qin Xiang, Qin Xiang will not infringe on the designer's name. Whoever the designer is, she just has independent rights. The right to use the software and pay a certain fee. To be honest, many students majoring in design at our school have sold their designs to her, and their living conditions have at least improved. This should be considered a win-win situation. "

Professor Wang read it quickly and nodded, "I think it's good. I'll find time to hold a meeting and study it in the next few days."

Professor Sun was happy to hear this, "Okay."

He hesitated, "If we can cooperate, I hope the person in charge is Professor Xiang, not Professor Liu, who has a deep prejudice against us."

"Okay, no problem." These are all small matters, and Dean Wang is not embarrassed.

At this time, Ding Zhihao and Cao Guanglin also expressed to Dean Wang that they wanted to participate.

Dean Wang was in a state of confusion, "Okay, let's have a meeting to discuss it first."

After leaving Dean Wang, Ding Zhihao and Cao Guanglin said to Qin Xiang and the others, "Thank you for giving us this opportunity."

It was obvious that Professor Sun and the others were about to leave, but they came back because of what they said.

Cao Guanglin smiled and said, "Actually, after we came back, we talked about the competition held in your school. Many students were very envious. It's a pity that although our school also held it, it was over after it was held. Even if we won the first prize, we only got a prize of 100 or 80 yuan, but there was no chance to make ready-made clothes."

Professor Sun was quite moved by this. He sighed and said, "Who said it wasn't? We tried our best to promote this competition. In fact, it was for this reason. The number of winners is indeed small, but the other selected designs will be made into ready-made clothes even if they are modified later. It is a great opportunity for you. I hope this can be successful."

After leaving the Academy of Fine Arts, Professor Sun scolded Professor Liu on the way back.

Professor Tan said helplessly, "If he knows, he will definitely scold you for being uneducated."

"Why should I be educated?" Professor Sun was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "I do everything for the students. It would be better if they didn't participate. The students of our school would have more opportunities." He

glanced at Qin Xiang and added, "That's not what I meant. Anyway, it's all for getting better works."

What the hell is this talking about.

Qin Xiang was overjoyed, "I understand, I understand everything."

As the saying goes, everything depends on human effort, but it is also up to fate. We have already gone to these two schools and can only wait for their news.

Qin Xiang even secretly thought that if it was successful this year, then next year, can we get the money to hold a design competition for all the colleges and universities in the capital?

She really likes this kind of competition mode to select manuscripts.

There is no notification from the Yamato Academy of Fine Arts in the capital, and Ge Lijuan, who has been living in the provincial capital this year, suddenly called.
