Chapter 287

The global stock market crash swept in with a fierce momentum, from Australia to Hong Kong City and then to America, and even the world.

Major domestic newspapers also began to report on it, and the atmosphere in the business world suddenly became tense.

But for college students, this was an extremely distant thing.

After listening to it on the radio, they lost interest. They were more interested in the current relationship between the school celebrity Qin Xiang and Meng Huaiqing.

On Monday, Qin Xiang was still thinking about the stock market crash. During class, many people looked at her openly and secretly. Qin Xiang

did not fail to notice it, but her mind was not on it.

Seeing this, Dingxiang and the others were secretly anxious, and they wanted to open their mouths to explain one by one. But they also knew that it was useless to explain this kind of thing. The best way was for Meng Huaiqing to show up and break the rumor.

After all, it happened a long time ago. Even if Meng Huaiqing really had a first love, that was in the past. As long as Meng Huaiqing stood on Qin Xiang's side now, it was good.

That also meant that Meng Huaiqing didn't care about Qin Xiang selling the stocks.

But some people reacted quickly, "I seem to have heard on the radio that Hong Kong City's stocks plummeted..."

Another person widened his eyes, "Then, is it a good thing that classmate Qin Xiang sold Mr. Meng's stocks?"

Several students became excited, "Then classmate Qin Xiang's luck is really against the sky, you don't know how terrible it is said on the radio."

At this time, everyone realized it belatedly and connected Hong Kong stocks with Qin Xiang and Meng Huaiqing.

Qin Xiang sold all her stocks out of anger, and someone who was concerned spread the news when she returned to school. Many people were actually very worried about Qin Xiang, and now they are relieved.

But some people also said, "If they really had a fight, could Qin Xiang return such a large sum of money to Mr. Meng? No matter what, Mr. Meng has made great contributions to our school. It seems inappropriate for Qin Xiang to do that."

"But maybe Qin Xiang will return the money. Who can say for sure? In my opinion, the newspaper reports may not be accurate. Qin Xiang is not such an unstable person. Maybe there is some hidden secret."

"What hidden secret? She is just dissatisfied with her boyfriend for having a first love. I don't understand. She is a second-hand product herself. What right does she have to..."

Before she finished speaking, a slap was slapped on his face, and a voice said lightly, "If I were you, I would apologize quickly, otherwise you will get slapped on the other side of your face."

The boy looked up in surprise and faced Qin Xiang's face.

It is really shameless to tell gossip in front of others. The boy's face turned red with embarrassment and he turned around and left.

Qin Xiang said, "Stop."

The boy stopped and didn't dare to raise his head, "What else do you want?"

"I don't want to do anything." Qin Xiang looked around and said calmly, "You are a student of Tsinghua University after all, don't keep talking about second-hand and first-hand goods. How clean are you? You can discuss the matter between me and Meng Huaiqing, but please keep your mouth clean."

As soon as she finished speaking, a girl shouted, "Classmate Qin Xiang, I believe you. I don't believe you would do such an irrational thing. They said that you sold Mr. Meng's stocks privately. Is it true?"

Qin Xiang looked over and saw a girl with short hair. She smiled and nodded, "Yes, I sold it. Was it a bad sale? Did you hear the news?"

The girl nodded after hearing it, "I heard it. The Hong Kong stock market continued to fall."

"Yes, the Hong Kong stock market fell, so it's good for me to sell it."

Another person also asked, "So how is your relationship with Mr. Meng now?"

Qin Xiang replied, "I said it's good, do you believe it? Time will prove it."

After that, Qin Xiang turned and left, and the people present looked at each other, "What does this mean?"

"Looking at her, I think their relationship has never changed."

Someone also speculated, "Could it be that Mr. Meng instructed her to sell it?"

"But how did she know that the Hong Kong stock market would fall? One person can't influence the stock market."

The student was right, the Hong Kong stock market really can't influence the stock market.

Qin Xiang understood this principle, and Meng Huaiqing also understood it, so even though they knew that the stock market crash was coming, they could only protect themselves and find a suitable scapegoat.

It's because the Chen and Jiang families are not human beings, and they have no psychological pressure to cheat.

Just as Qin Xiang guessed, the school finally came to find her.

The first person to come was Li Minghui, asking about her and Meng Huaiqing.

Because Qin Xiang knew Li Minghui very well, she was unwilling to explain to him, "This is our private matter, I don't think it's necessary to explain to the school."

Li Minghui's face suddenly turned ugly. This is the third year, and he still can't like this student who is praised by professors and admired by students.

In his opinion, Qin Xiang is arrogant, does not abide by the duties of a student, and acts willfully.

Such a student should not be allowed to stay in the school.

Because of Qin Xiang's matter, he had been criticized by the school several times. It was strange that Li Minghui liked this student.

Now Qin Xiang's attitude was extremely uncooperative, and Li Minghui became even more angry. "Mr. Meng donated the library to our school and donated a lot of maintenance funds. Our school has the qualifications and obligations to understand this matter. If you are not a student of our school, do you think we will care?"

Qin Xiang looked at him sarcastically and asked directly, "Then may I ask, how did the school notify you? How did they let you ask? Did they let you come up and ask what the relationship between me and Meng Huaiqing is now?"

Li Minghui's eyes flashed, "Of course."

"Of course?" Qin Xiang snorted, "Then why don't we go confront each other in front of the leader. Who I'm in love with and how I'm in love are our own problems. The school rules prohibit marriage. I'm just in love and not married. I don't think I need to report my private affairs to you."

Li Minghui was already feeling guilty, and when Qin Xiang said that, he immediately became angry and embarrassed, "Qin Xiang, don't go too far. Your relationship with Mr. Meng affects the school, and the school can't just ignore it."

Qin Xiang laughed, "I said, time will prove everything."

As she spoke, she took out a business card of Meng Huaiqing and threw it to him, "If you want to know so much, you should call him."

After that, Qin Xiang turned around and left. Li Minghui looked at the business card and felt a headache, with an extremely ugly face.

Several other professional counselors in the office were also secretly watching him.

A female counselor said, "You too, why do you ask people this? Didn't the school ask you to understand the situation? Who wouldn't be angry if you asked this right away?"

Li Minghui said with a cold face, "I also want to understand the situation."

Seeing that he was stubborn, the female counselor didn't say anything.

Li Minghui and Qin Xiang seemed to have been in conflict for a long time, because Qin Xiang had been criticized by the college several times, but he still didn't change his bad habits. Why bother?

Qin Xiang came out of the office and went back directly. The class was over now, and it was time for Hongcheng to close.

Black Monday will always remain in the history of Hongcheng.

Starting tomorrow, Hongcheng will be closed for four days, but the market closure cannot solve the problem.

That is the world of capital, and it has nothing to do with her.

Qin Xiang's matter was left unresolved.

And her mind was not on this at all.

Her branch store has been opened, and now the team is strong. The store has new autumn and winter clothes.

Qin Xiang took a look when she had no classes. Business is good.

Sure enough, good advertising is important, and the timing is also important.

After returning from the store, she arrived downstairs of the dormitory and saw a boy walking back and forth downstairs. Qin Xiang didn't pay attention and went upstairs directly.

The boy called her, "Qin Xiang."

Qin Xiang turned around in surprise and found that the boy was Jie Zong.

It's been a long time since we last met.

Jie Zong seemed to be the same as before, looking a little cold, but his temperament seemed to be much more mature.

The look in his eyes when he looked at her was very complicated.

Qin Xiang thought of Guan Yuping's condition and felt indescribably disgusted. "Is there something?"

Jie Zong nodded. "I want to talk to you."

Qin Xiang glanced at the window of her dormitory. She seemed to see Guan Yuping standing at the window. She raised her eyebrows. "I don't think there is anything to talk about."

"Don't leave in a hurry," Jie Zong said hurriedly. "I just want to ask, are you okay?"

Qin Xiang nodded. "I'm fine. Thank you for your trouble." Jie Zong

said, "If, if you are given another chance, will you regret your choice?"

Qin Xiang was stunned and puzzled. Then she laughed. "Of course I regret it."

Without waiting for Jie Zong to respond, Qin Xiang said again, "If I had known that you would become such a dog, I shouldn't have known you. I wasted my time."

After that, Qin Xiang turned and went upstairs.

She knew Jie Zong was still looking at her, but that look made her feel nauseous.

It's been such a long time, and he actually asked her this question. Did he hear about her and Meng Huaiqing?

That was really fucked up.

She and Meng Huaiqing had just slept together for a few days, and nothing had happened yet, but one or two of them were already worrying about them.

It's useless to worry about something .

When she returned to the dormitory, Guan Yuping was standing at the window.

Hearing the door open, Guan Yuping didn't turn around, and said, "He still likes you."

Qin Xiang was speechless, "So."

Guan Yuping pursed her lips and didn't answer.

Qin Xiang was so angry that she was too lazy to say anything to her. There are some problems that you will never understand if you don't understand them yourself, no matter how others persuade you.

Moreover, Guan Yuping might have hated her because of what happened just now.

So why bother? What

a waste of time.

Qin Xiang took the textbooks and materials and went to the library to find Ding Xiang and the others.

Guan Yuping slowly turned around and continued to look downstairs.

Jie Zong had already left, and Qin Xiang walked away slowly with a canvas bag.

It was this girl that Jie Zong and He Chenghua could not forget.

And she was the one who was left behind after all.

On Friday, the results of the TOEFL test came out. Ding Xiang passed the test smoothly, Ming Chuan Xiu did not pass, but Ding Xiang's boyfriend Huang Lin was eliminated.

In the end, seven out of more than twenty people passed. After careful study, the school finally decided to send all seven to study abroad on government scholarships, and Jie Zong was also on the list.

Based on the situation in previous years where students went abroad on government scholarships and never returned, this time, the school required students to sign a return agreement. If they do not return to China by then, the school will conduct cross-border investigations.

It sounds a bit cruel, but it is also a helpless act. There has always been a craze for studying abroad. How many people spend the country's money to enjoy the convenience brought by the country to study abroad, but in the end they are dazzled by the colorful world of capitalism and never return.

The school's training and the country's efforts cannot resist the attraction of the outside world.

The school has no choice but to remove them.

Qin Xiang couldn't help sighing, and only hoped that they would be able to return home one day after completing their studies.

The country is in a period of rapid development. It is a pity that they left and never came back.

After sighing, Qin Xiang gathered her thoughts and continued with her work.

The money in Hong Kong City has been converted into US dollars and transferred to her account in China through legal channels.

This is a huge amount of funds. Several people from the bank came to her in one day.

Such a large sum of money can bring huge profits to the bank even if it is deposited for a fixed period.

Qin Xiang is not stupid. She deposited all the money in the National Bank and then reached an agreement with the bank that the money can be withdrawn as needed.

It is not possible to deposit it for a fixed period.

She is not short of that little interest. She can invest it all and earn more money.

First, the two plots of land that Pengcheng liked had to be auctioned. Since she couldn't take a leave, Mi Hongjun went to auction on his behalf. When they got there, Meng Huaiqing's people and Qin Yang would take Mi Hongjun with them, so she didn't have to worry.

I called Meng Huaiqing on the weekend. Meng Huaiqing seemed very tired, and his voice was a little hoarse.

Qin Xiang asked, "Have they come to find you?"

"Of course they have." Meng Huaiqing said, "And I have stopped their people from going to the mainland several times."

Qin Xiang was surprised, "Come to the mainland to ask your grandmother for mercy?"

"Yes." Meng Huaiqing said, "But we have already arranged a place for them. Please go and check on grandma."

Qin Xiang agreed, "I understand."

This matter has caused a lot of commotion. The two old people's residence has a TV, so even if there is little reporting in the country, there will be news.

Meng Huaiqing laughed, "Now everyone in Hong Kong knows that the two of us will not be affected by this stock market crash."

"This situation will get worse on Monday," Qin Xiang said, "because the market closure cannot stop the stock from falling. This is bound to be a trend. Their complacency is useless."

Meng Huaiqing changed the subject, "I miss you very much."

Qin Xiang was helpless, "We have only been apart for a week."

"A week?" Meng Huaiqing sighed, "But it feels like a long time has passed. Qin Xiang..."

He paused and suddenly laughed, "I don't know why, I just want to call your name. Thank you for saving me."

Qin Xiang laughed, "When your sister gave you her body, treat yourself well and exercise diligently. You know, I like the muscles on your body."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Xiang went to buy some food for the elderly and went to the place where Ge Lijuan and Ge Daye lived.

There were bodyguards and nannies in the yard, and there were quite a few people.

Seeing Qin Xiang coming, the nanny Sister Li hurriedly came over, "Miss Qin, the old lady has not been in a good spirit these two days, and I was planning to let someone notify you."

Qin Xiang knew what was going on as soon as she heard it, so she nodded, "Okay, I know, thank you Sister Li."

It's nothing more than worrying about Jiang Licheng's big family.

She had heard a lot before. When people get old, their minds change very quickly, especially when they see their children suffer. Once they see the other person suffering, they can immediately forget the evil that their children had done.

If one of the children is not doing well, the old man will feel distressed and feel that the other person is pitiful. He can't wait to subsidize this child by plucking other children. She

totally forgot how hateful this kid was.

Ge Lijuan is going through this stage now. She is over 70 years old and always feels that she doesn't have much time left. Her son and other children are about to lose everything, but Meng Huaiqing has everything. It is inevitable that she will feel sorry for those poor people.

Qin Xiang thought it was ironic.

If Meng Huaiqing hadn't asked her to come, to be honest, she really didn't want to come.

She was very happy to visit Grandpa Ge, who was an open-minded old man, but Ge Lijuan was in a complicated mood and didn't want to contact him if she could avoid it.

She went into the house, closed the door, and blocked the autumn wind outside.

Ge Lijuan was staring at the TV. The national TV station's international news was talking about the stock market crash abroad.

Grandpa Ge didn't listen much, so he walked over and closed the door with a bang.

"Why did you turn off the TV?" Ge Lijuan was very angry and stood up to continue turning it on.

However, Grandpa Ge was even more ruthless and directly unplugged the socket. "I don't want to watch it. It's so annoying. The typhoon is happening every day. What the hell is that?"

Ge Lijuan glared. "What do you know? Since the typhoon, many families have been broken up."

"What does that have to do with you, an old lady who is half buried in the ground?" Grandpa Ge refused to give in. "You didn't teach your son well, so you deserve it now."

"You...how can you say that? He's your own nephew."

Master Ge chuckled, "It's his nephew's fault. If it was my own son, I would have beaten him to death long ago."

Ge Lijuan was so angry that she breathed quickly. She turned her head to see Qin Xiang, her tone a little stiff, "What are you doing here?"

Qin Xiang said, "I came to see how you go crazy and torture yourself. Why are you doing this? Do you want to torture yourself and let Meng Huaiqing help Jiang?"

Ge Lijuan denied it, "I didn't."

"That's good. I almost misunderstood." Qin Xiang sat down on the sofa, looked at her and said, "Then you wouldn't mention this if Huaiqing called back, right?"

She looked at Ge Lijuan and refused to give in. Ge Lijuan was a little annoyed. She didn't want to agree, but Qin Xiang had an attitude that it would not be over if she didn't agree, which made Ge Lijuan look bad.

Master Ge took pleasure in the misfortune of others and said, "I've already told you that a piece of rotten clay cannot be helped. It's bankrupt, so it is bankrupt. You're still heartbroken. I suggest you not to make things difficult for Huaiqing because of this. Don't you think that it's because you were soft-hearted and didn't raise the child well that Huaiqing has to bear the consequences?"

Ge Lijuan was shocked.

Grandpa Ge continued, "Huai Qing is good in everything except his stomach. I've seen him vomit blood. Lijuan, that child is filial. If you continue to use filial piety to pressure him, I'm afraid you will really lose this grandson."

Ge Lijuan pursed her lips and sat down with a cold face, "I didn't say anything."

"It's good that you didn't say anything." Qin Xiang smiled, "But don't worry, they are all Jiang family members after all, Huai Qing will settle them down."

Ge Lijuan looked up, "How to arrange it?"

"A good place, a place suitable for them." Qin Xiang said, and looked at Grandpa Ge, "Grandpa, when you have time, go out for a walk, go to the park to practice Tai Chi or something, don't stay at home." Grandpa

Ge smiled, "Okay, I will definitely go."

After leaving here, Qin Xiang did not go home. She thought of her old father Qin Baotian.

But she didn't expect that before she arrived at her residence, she saw Qin Baotian and Lan Ting walking hand in hand in a park halfway.

Qin Xiang couldn't help thinking that she might soon have to attend her own father's wedding.
