Chapter 283

However, although Meng Huaiqing said he was leaving, he was not leaving immediately. Gangcheng was his base camp, and some work had to be handed over in advance.

The next day, Meng Huaiqing took Qin Xiang to the company, introduced the company's situation to Qin Xiang, and took her to the brokerage firm to find his stock broker. It was the same brokerage firm as Miss Chen, but the person in charge was Miss Chen's boss Qiao Zhixu.

When he learned that Qin Xiang would come back to operate in a few days, he was quite surprised. "Are you sure Miss Qin will decide?"

Meng Huaiqing nodded, "Yes. Just listen to her arrangements."

Qiao Zhixu thought about it, but still nodded.

The rumors outside that Meng Huaiqing was afraid were indeed true. He even handed over the stocks to the other party to handle.

After the conversation, Qin Xiang went to talk to Miss Chen about the recent stock market. Miss Chen praised Qin Xiang greatly, "The stocks you added later also rose very well. This year is really a golden bull market."

Qin Xiang curled her lips, and did not dare to say that the golden bull market was just a precursor to the stock market crash.

If she really said it, would others believe it?

No one would believe it. Others would only think that you want to hold someone down and let her do it yourself. Now that the price is high, crazy stockholders are trying every means to buy stocks. Not to mention retail investors, even wealthy and wealthy people are actively running around, trying to get more stocks from retail investors.

Qin Xiang just waited patiently. Now is not the opportunity.

After leaving the brokerage firm, Meng Huaiqing said, "Let's eat outside?"

Qin Xiang nodded, "Okay, it's rare for Mr. Meng to treat us."

The two found a tea restaurant in Central. While eating, they suddenly saw Jiang Yuqiang and a woman eating there.

Qin Xiang was a little surprised, "He changed his sexual orientation?"

Meng Huaiqing didn't even move his head, "Does eating together mean that his sexual orientation is normal?"

Qin Xiang was stunned and gossiped, "You mean, this is just a show to tell the public that his sexual orientation has changed to normal, to reverse his image, and to increase Jiang's stock?" Qin Xiang couldn't help but wonder, "Is his image so valuable?"

"They think this is very important." Meng Huaiqing laughed, "They think that they can increase the stock price by changing their image."

Meng Huaiqing finished eating, wiped his fingers clean, and then said, "I have asked someone to pass the news to the two companies, saying that the stock value will rise wildly at the end of the month, and I also let them know in a roundabout way that I will leave Hongcheng soon, and my stocks will be handed over to you for processing."

Qin Xiang was stunned, "You deliberately let them know this so that they will take the initiative to find me. Then in their eyes, I am just a woman who depends on you for everything. It only takes a few minutes to coax me and control me. Once you get the stocks, they can laugh at you."

Qin Xiang clapped her hands and praised, "Not a bad idea."

Unfortunately, the stock market crash is not at the end of the month but in the middle of the month.

Before the last day comes, she will sell all.

The buyer has been found, just waiting for the fish to take the bait. When

the two went out, they met a few paparazzi, who took pictures one after another. Meng Huaiqing did not shy away from them, and pulled Qin Xiang directly into the car and drove away.

There was almost no doubt about tomorrow's entertainment headlines. Qin Xiang had never thought that she would be able to live in the vortex of entertainment one day. It felt really wonderful.

The next day, Meng Huaiqing took her to see Zhao Mingqian again, and discussed with him the time and strategy for selling. Meng Huaiqing was also going to leave for a foreign country.

At this time, it was already October 7.

Qin Xiang had a rare moment of free time, so she went to find Zhang Nan and Zhao Guicheng. When

the two came to the port city, they were like fish in a pond, and they were all excited.

It is said that they strolled around from morning till night, starting from Central and slowly expanding outwards, learning, recording, and discussing. The small notebooks they brought with them were filled with a lot of words.

When they met Qin Xiang, they were also very excited. They couldn't wait to tell her about their new discoveries and showed her the base map of their own design.

Qin Xiang smiled and was in a particularly good mood, "Very good, when these details are perfected, I think it can be put into production."

The employees are positive and hardworking to learn, and produce more design drafts. As a boss, there is no unhappiness.

Looking at these design drafts, compared with the cost she paid, it is not worth mentioning at all.

Zhang Nan said happily, "No wonder many styles in the mainland are learned from Hong Kong. The clothes here are indeed much more fashionable."

Qin Xiang reminded, "You can also buy a lot of foreign magazines here. You can buy them. I will reimburse you later. As long as it is effective and you can learn something, the money will not be wasted."

"We will definitely not be polite if you say that." Zhao Guicheng said, "The clothing here is really diverse, but I think we have more development opportunities in the mainland."

Zhang Nan nodded, "Indeed, it is good to develop here, but the mainland can provide us with more space to give full play to our strengths. More importantly, we are with the right boss."

If they were still in the original unit, even if there was an opportunity to go out and learn, it would be those senior people who came out to eat and drink, and it is hard to say whether they can learn anything. The newcomers would only be told: "You don't know anything, what are you doing? Learn well in the factory first, and there will be opportunities in the future."

They have experienced such things before.

The last time Qin Xiang brought Fei Qing out, they were envious. Now they have come out by themselves, and they stay longer.

But Qin Xiang still reminded them, "You will leave Hong Kong on the 12th, and then go from Pengcheng to Yangcheng, and then to Hangzhou and Haicheng for observation and study, and then go directly back to the capital from Haicheng."

The two nodded hurriedly, "Okay, boss."

Qin Xiang smiled, "No need to be so polite, we can be friends in private, after all, we are all designers. By the way, when you go to Yangcheng, you can find Jiao Junxi from Yimei Clothing Factory. His design is amazing and his style is varied. You can communicate with him."

After leaving the hotel, Qin Xiang went back to his residence. As soon as he got off the car, he saw a car stopped not far away and two women got out of the car.

Qin Xiang looked familiar. One of them was Meng Huaiqing's stepmother Mao Xinhui, but he didn't know the other one.

Qin Xiang watched the two approaching, and her eyes fell on Mao Xinhui, "I thought you didn't want to see me again."

The last time they met was still fresh in her mind. Mao Xinhui lost all her face, and she felt it was difficult to come to Qin Xiang again and deceive her.

This woman was very difficult to deal with, and she was not as easy to deal with as she thought she would be with Meng Huaiqing. It would not be easy to convince her.

But she had to convince him, as this was related to the survival of the Jiang family.

Jiang Licheng had promised that if he succeeded this time, he would give her some of his stocks. She couldn't let this opportunity go.

"Ms. Qin is still so beautiful and charming, no wonder Huaiqing likes you so much."

Qin Xiang smiled, "If your smile was a little more sincere, maybe I would believe you."

Behind Qin Xiang stood the six bodyguards arranged by Meng Huaiqing, all dressed in black and wearing sunglasses. The scene was dazzling to the two women.

If there were no problems with the company, why would they come to this northern girl? It was really lowering their status.

Mao Xinhui's face froze, "Miss Qin, you misunderstood. We were sincere in saying this, so you shouldn't misunderstand us."

She glanced upstairs and smiled, "I wonder if Miss Qin has time. We want to talk to Miss Qin."

Qin Xiang raised her eyebrows, "What if I say I don't have time?"

After that, she went straight upstairs. Mao Xinhui took two quick steps and shouted, "Miss Qin, you have a good relationship with Huai Qing, but don't you want to know about his past? For example, his first love or something."

Qin Xiang pretended to be interested, "Oh?"

Mao Xinhui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss Qin, why don't you come with us to a nearby coffee shop to talk?"

"Okay." Qin Xiang agreed. Mao Xinhui looked at the woman next to her and said with a smile, "Miss Qin, we will definitely not let you down."

Several people left the community together and went to a nearby coffee shop.

After sitting down, Mao Xinhui opened her bag and took out a photo from it and placed it in front of Qin Xiang.

Qin Xiang glanced at it. The photo showed two young people, a boy and a girl, who looked about 17 or 18 years old. The girl was pretty and gentle, and her eyes were obsessed with the boy next to her. The boy had red hair that reached about his shoulders. He was holding a trophy in his hand, with a wanton and wanton smile on his face. His unruly eyes seemed to look down on the world, which was something she had never seen before.

She couldn't help but think of the teenage years he had talked about, when no one cared about him, he was reckless, and he used to be seen on the streets of Hong Kong City.

It was also at that time that he learned to smoke and drink, and then he had a serious stomach disease, so that even now he can only eat light meals like the elderly.

But she had never thought that there would be someone else by his side.

Perhaps this was also the reason why Mao Xinhui showed her this photo. It's just

that Mao Xinhui didn't understand her, and thought that she would be like other women, and would be jealous and crazy when she saw photos of her lover with other women, and would have conflicts and quarrels with Meng Huaiqing because of this. But who doesn't have a past? Really considering these, she and Meng Huaiqing can never get along. She has her past, and Meng Huaiqing also has his past. She has never told him everything about him, and he has not told him everything either. This is fair. It's not about trust or not. It's not important. The past is the past. The important thing is that they only have each other now, isn't that enough? Thinking of the situation that the two had assumed before. Qin Xiang couldn't help but smile in her heart. However, when she looked up at Mao Xinhui, her face was not good-looking, with anger hidden in her eyes, like a woman who caught her husband cheating but deliberately concealed her anger to express her generosity, "Why are you showing this to me? That was many years ago." Mao Xinhui has lived for so many years and is best at observing other people's minds. She stared at Qin Xiang's face and sighed after a long while, "Originally I didn't want to show you this, but there has been a lot of news about you and Huai Qing recently. He has been disobedient since he was a child, and we as parents are helpless, but as elders, we can't bear to see you know nothing, so we found you." Qin Xiang pursed her lips and said nothing with a cold face. Mao Xinhui smiled, "Do you know how they got together and why they broke up?" Qin Xiang frowned and said in a cold voice, "What does it have to do with me?" "It has a lot to do with it." Mao Xinhui pointed at the woman in the photo and said, "This girl is Chai Xiu Ya, Huai Qing's junior high school classmate. The two have been classmates since elementary school. They dated in junior high school and were together for a long time. Later, the Chai family moved to America, and the two had no choice but to break up." Mao Xinhui paused, "You are young, you may not know how important a first love is in a man's heart." Qin Xiang raised her eyebrows slightly. Mao Xinhui took out another photo, "Originally, I didn't want to tell you this, but now, Chai Xiu Ya is back. She just arrived in Hong Kong." The photo was pushed in front of Qin Xiang's eyes. The woman in the photo was mature and charming, with a big wave of hair softly draped over her shoulders, and a fiery red lip that was extremely charming. Although her style is different from that of her youth, you can't tell that it's the same person. Such a woman is fatally attractive to men. Mao Xinhui also knew this. She smiled, "Some of Huaiqing's company's business is also in America. You said that he often goes to America. Is it really for business or to meet her?" Qin Xiang frowned and slammed the photo on the table. "Why are you telling me this? I am his girlfriend now. We are engaged." "You also said we are engaged." Mao Xinhui laughed, "You can get divorced if you are married, let alone just engaged but not married. If he really loves you so much, why doesn't he marry you? Don't you want to think about this problem?" Qin Xiang frowned and thought: You idiot, you don't even understand the system of my university, and you are talking nonsense here, and I will listen to your acting. She snorted and pretended to be calm, "It has nothing to do with you." "Yes, it really has nothing to do with me." Mao Xinhui said, "I sympathize with you. We are all women, and I can't bear to see you being deceived." Qin Xiang sneered, "Are you so kind?" "Why not, we don't have any hatred." Mao Xinhui stood up after saying this, "That's all I have to say. Think about it carefully. I have no ill intentions." After saying this, Mao Xinhui left with another woman who had never spoken from beginning to end. Qin Xiang picked up the photo and put it in her bag, clicked her tongue twice, and then stood up and went home. Back home, Qin Xiang washed up and turned on the TV. Entertainment news is always a hot topic in Hong Kong. But the TVB dramas of this period are indeed good.

Qin Xiang watched TV for a while, and then the phone rang.

Qin Xiang looked at the time. It was already afternoon. So what time was it in America?

"Hello."

Meng Huaiqing's voice came from the other side. "What are you doing at home?"

Qin Xiang said, "Watching TV."

"Well, did you miss me?" Meng Huaiqing looked at the sky outside the window that had not yet brightened, imagining Qin Xiang watching TV in bed, "I've always missed you."

Qin Xiang chuckled, "Mao Xinhui came to see me today."

Meng Huaiqing was not surprised, which showed that the bait he had laid out at the beginning worked. "What did you say?"

Qin Xiang said meaningfully, "I didn't expect Mr. Meng to be so unrestrained in his youth."

Meng Huaiqing was stunned, "Huh?"

"That red hair, wow, so handsome, and that rebellious look..."

Meng Huaiqing coughed awkwardly, "That's all black history, not worth showing off."

Qin Xiang responded, "Mao Xinhui also showed me something good. Two photos."

Meng Huaiqing was surprised, "What photos?"

"I won't tell you, think about it yourself." After saying that, Qin Xiang hung up the phone.

After a while, the phone rang again. Qin Xiang knew it was Meng Huaiqing calling, but she deliberately didn't answer it. She went to the kitchen and found a few more persimmons and apples in the kitchen. They should have been brought by the chef.

Qin Xiang peeled the persimmons, sat there and ate them, listened to the phone ringing, and flipped through the book.

After a while, the phone finally stopped ringing, and Qin Xiang got up and went back to the bedroom.

When Mao Xinhui returned home, Jiang Licheng asked hurriedly, "How is it? Did she believe it?"

"What's there to believe or not?" Mao Xinhui disagreed. "There were newspapers and news reports back then. I'll have someone send them to her later. As for whether she will verify it... we are not the ones who are afraid of verification. What we told her are all facts. As the boy's parents, we have the obligation to inform them of the child's situation to prevent the couple from having conflicts over such things in the future, don't you think?"

Jiang Licheng was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing. "You are still smart. Those two idiots only know how to compete for favors, but they don't think about it. Without the Jiang family, they are nothing."

Mao Xinhui didn't believe Jiang Licheng's nonsense. It was just that Jiang Licheng would have to break up with Meng Huaiqing completely before Jiang Shi could be completely handed over to her son. Therefore, the quality of Jiang Shi was related to how much her son would inherit.

They got the news that several stocks will continue to rise until the end of the month.

And most of these stocks are in Meng Huaiqing's hands.

Although she looked down on Meng Huaiqing and was jealous of him, she had to admit that Meng Huaiqing had means and ability. The stocks he was optimistic about must be good.

And now Meng Huaiqing was not in Gangcheng, only his girlfriend with a bad brain was in Gangcheng. It was said that Meng Huaiqing handed all his stocks to the other party for a woman. It was her son's fault. If it was her son, she would want to pry open his brain to see what was in it. He was so restless.

Of course, the dumber the enemy is, the better it is for them. She has inquired about it. Although Qin Xiang is a businessman, he is impulsive and petty, not a capable person. The business he has done in the mainland is probably due to Meng Huaiqing, so it is not worth worrying about.

She wants to take the opportunity to trick all those stocks over.

Qin Xiang woke up from a nap, and the bodyguard knocked on the door outside, "Miss Qin, Ms. Mao Xinhui sent you something."

Qin Xiang was curious and opened the door, "What is it?"

The bodyguard took it into the house, and Qin Xiang opened it and laughed.

There were magazines and newspapers inside, as well as some photos, all of which were about Meng Huaiqing's affairs in recent years.

Qin Xiang became interested and sat on the sofa to check them one by one. He simply arranged them in chronological order. The earliest one was taken in 1973. After calculating the time, Meng Huaiqing was only 14 years old at that time. The 14-year-old boy was not very tall, wearing a black leather jacket, and his hair was half-long and dyed yellow. He rode a motorcycle recklessly on the street.

The following ones were taken almost every year, all the way to 1978, when Meng Huaiqing was 19 years old. There were no reports after that. In the five years in between, Meng Huaiqing was often accompanied by the girl named Chai Xiuya.

Every time the girl looked at Meng Huaiqing, she was obsessed, but if you look at Meng Huaiqing's expression, you can't tell the reason.

One photo could not stir up ripples in her heart, but when a pile of photos and newspapers were placed in front of her, it was much more stimulating.

Qin Xiang couldn't tell what she felt in her heart.

It couldn't be said to be sour, after all, that was Meng Huaiqing's youth, a past he didn't want to mention.

She used to think that Meng Huaiqing didn't want to mention it because of that dark memory of growing up, but now the evidence is reminding her that it seems not to be the case.

The first love in adolescence is beautiful and easy to reminisce.

So would Meng Huaiqing be the same?

She picked up the phone and wanted to call, but she couldn't help but put it back after dialing the number twice.

So many years have passed, what's the point of worrying about these things?

Forget it.

Qin Xiang sorted out the things according to time, put the single ones aside, and stuffed those with Chai Xiu Ya directly under the table.

After cleaning up and taking a nap, the phone rang. Mao Xinhui asked, "Miss Qin, did you sleep well last night?"

Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Not bad."

Mao Xinhui was startled, "Didn't you see the things I asked someone to send?"

"Of course I saw them." Qin Xiang said, "I saw them all one by one. They were well taken. It's really hard for you to collect so many things at once. I am very grateful that you gave me the opportunity to let me know more about Meng Huaiqing."
