Chapter 293

Ding Xiang and Jie Zong were gone. Guan Yuping was stunned for a long time listening to the sound of the plane flying outside.

She had persuaded Guan Yuping and explained the reasons. No matter what Guan Yuping was like, she didn't want to care anymore.

Not to mention that Qin Xiang would not persuade her anymore, even Ming Chuanxiu and Meilin were too lazy to persuade her. It was a pity that she could not make a good life like this for a man. Why did she have to ruin her life like this?

On the third day after Ding Xiang and others left, Ding Xiang's parents and two brothers also rushed over from Henan Province as Ding Xiang said.

It was a pity that they had left early. It was time to go to the port city and prepare to transfer to the plane.

The leaders of the school explained the benefits of going abroad and the national policies, but they didn’t make sense. The family just cried and begged for their release, saying that the old couple couldn’t survive. Dingxiang’s two brothers were even more adamant. They said that they would not leave unless Dingxiang was returned, and they would sleep on the floor of the school. The

school naturally couldn’t let things develop. It was Professor Sun who heard something was wrong and went to ask about their demands.

After asking a lot of questions, they finally expressed their thoughts: they wanted the school to compensate them, and if they couldn’t give the child, they would give money.

The school was not used to it, and directly invited the police and higher-level leaders to explain the matter. Seeing that the police had come, the family didn’t dare to make a fuss, and they were finally sent back.

After the farce, the school discussed it for a while. They couldn't believe that Ding Xiang had such a family.

Huang Lin never showed up. His relationship with Ding Xiang seemed to have come to an end after he went abroad.

Soon it was exam week. After the final exams, the first semester of the junior year was over.

Qin Xiang's base was in the capital, so of course she didn't go back. Everyone in the dormitory hadn't been back for a year. They didn't plan to work during this winter vacation. They all went back to have a look. Zhao

Wenna had the most money. Her house was decorated very cozy. She saved a lot of money in the past six months and planned to go back and tear down her parents' house and rebuild it.

Qin Xiang sent them to the train station, looked at them and said, "See you when school starts."

This year's winter vacation was longer.

But Qin Xiang's work was not easy either.

The first task was to inspect the stores, starting from the wholesale city. After checking the accounts, she went to check the branches. It took several days to check the branches in the capital. Then she went to the Aimei Clothing Factory to check the production progress.

The production of winter models had long ended, and now they were producing spring models that would be launched after the New Year. The spring in the capital was short, and the sales of spring models were small, but they had to be produced.

Just after she finished looking here, the sound of a car came from outside. Qin Dong came in and said, "Director, Brother Zhao has driven the car back."

Qin Xiang was happy for a while. This was her sedan.

In those days, sedans were much more expensive than trucks. She queued up to buy this sedan a while ago.

Although the car model was not as beautiful as those in later generations, it was very impressive in those days.

The black car was calm and low-key. It was parked in front of the office building and was surrounded by several cadres.

Qin Xiang got in the car, "Let's go for a walk."

Qin Dong, Tan Xiu and Miao Xiaofeng squeezed in the back seat. Zhao Ping started the car and drove out along the national highway.

Zhao Ping said, "Then let's drive to the south?"

Qin Xiang laughed, "Drive, we have more people and take turns driving, all the way south."

Several of the bodyguards can even drive a tank, let alone a car. How can three or four drivers not drive through?

And it's more convenient to drive a car than a train, stopping and starting along the way.

That afternoon, the car set off, and the first stop was Jinshi.

The last time she inspected the store, she caught a few rats, which made Qin Xiang very angry. She asked a lawyer to draft the employee code of conduct and supplementary contract. After that, He Liping and Qin Dong inspected the store every two months to ensure that there were no omissions. During the

inspection this time, there were indeed no bad places, but the disadvantages of opening a branch store by yourself were also revealed. After the new year, it was time to start recruiting investors to open franchise stores.

After walking and stopping along the way, it was already January 23 when we arrived in the provincial capital. Qu Hanxiao was still in charge of the store in the provincial capital. The girl was very serious about her work, so Qin Xiang simply taught Qu Hanxiao to manage several nearby branches.

I went to Aunt Cao's store again. Although the university was on vacation, the business was still good.

Aunt Cao pulled her to sit down, let her drink some hot water, and then whispered, "I tell you, your sister's previous man came to see you again."

Qin Xiang raised her eyelids, "Still want a child?"

Aunt Cao nodded, "I don't know how she found me here, and she wanted me to pass on a message, saying she wanted Nian Nian and that she could give her money."

Qin Xiang couldn't help but sneer after hearing this, "This is treating children as objects. You can't give birth to a child yourself, but you think of Nian Nian. What the hell are you dreaming about? My sister can't be short of that little money?"

"That's what I said, and they were so angry that they turned cold and said some bad things to me, and I kicked them out." Aunt Cao smiled, "I knew what they were thinking, so I didn't tell your sister, and I called your father. I don't know whether he said it or not."

She paused and asked, "Your sister is still young, doesn't she plan to have another child?"

Qin Xiang thought of Qin Juan and the young cadre, and couldn't help shaking her head, "I don't know what she thinks."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but think of the unpleasant dinner.

She thought she had done what she could, but she was still unhappy when her sister said that, and she never went to see her fourth sister again since then.

This incident also reminded her that brothers and sisters are the closest family members before they get married. Once married, brothers and sisters will become two families, so she should find a limit. Even for her closest fourth sister and third brother, she should not control them too much.

Thinking of this, Qin Xiang smiled and said, "She is older than me and more mature in thinking. Maybe she has her own plans."

"You are right." After saying this, Aunt Cao couldn't help but talk about something else. "A while ago, the second son of the Wang family and his wife brought their old couple to the provincial capital. I heard that they seemed to be looking for Wang Junsheng and the eldest son of the Wang family and his family. I don't know if they found them, but the old lady of the Wang family doesn't look well." In

the past, Qin Xiang would gloat when she heard that the Wang family was in trouble, but now she can only listen to it like an ordinary person, "Let them be."

Since Wang Junsheng abandoned them, it is impossible for him to go back. The eldest son of the Wang family is a henpecked man, and Cai Hongyan is not someone who will suffer losses. Even if they are found by them, at most they will make a fuss, and it will be impossible to provide for their old age.

Wang Dazhu and Cui Lianhua had spent their whole lives together, and it was unknown whether they had ever regretted it. Qin Xiang said that they deserved it.

Thinking about the life in that year, it seemed like a lifetime ago.

After leaving Aunt Cao's house, she had to go to the Zhao family.

As soon as her third brother got married, he went to Pengcheng, and he hasn't come back yet. She had agreed with Zhao Qian in advance that she would come here. Zhao Qian's school was on vacation, so she went to Pengcheng with him to reunite with her husband. She

bought some gifts and went to the Zhao family. Zhao Wenbo and his wife were there, and they were very happy to see her. "Your third sister-in-law has been looking forward to your visit."

Qin Xiang apologized, "I was too busy, inspecting the shops all the way, so I came late and made your third sister-in-law wait for me."

"It's okay. It won't be a problem if you wait a few more days." Zhao Wenbo looked at Qin Xiang and thought she was amazing. "I heard that you bought another piece of land in Pengcheng? What are you going to do with it?"

Qin Xiang did not hide it. "The land is relatively small, so I plan to turn it into a youth hotel."

Zhao Wenbo did not understand this, but he felt that what Qin Xiang did must be right. "You are amazing."

Jiang Manling cut an apple and came over to sit down. "Did you know that Jie Zong went abroad?"

Qin Xiang nodded. "I've heard that going abroad is good, seeing the outside world, learning advanced knowledge and returning to serve the motherland."

Zhao Wenbo liked to hear this, but he couldn't help sighing when he thought of the people who went abroad in recent years, "But I also heard that there are so many students who are willing to come back."

Qin Xiang didn't say anything, "That's their loss. Our country is developing rapidly now, and the opportunities are no less than those abroad. When they want to come back one day, there may be no place for them to stand."

"Who said it wasn't?"

Jiang Manling snorted again, "You don't know, after Jie Zong went abroad, her mother was so arrogant in school that she almost ignored the principal. She also came to our house to show off twice. I almost kicked her out."

Qin Xiang was happy, "If she wants to show off, let her show off enough."

Zhao Qian came back as she spoke. She was naturally happy to see Qin Xiang coming. Zhao Qian had prepared everything. Qin Xiang informed her of the flight time tomorrow and went to find her second brother and his wife.

Originally, I wanted to call them to go to Pengcheng to see the renovated house together, but when we arrived at their supermarket, we found that there were really a lot of people, because it was close to the New Year, and many people were willing to buy things.

When Qin Hai heard about going to Pengcheng to look at houses, he waved his hands and said, "I don't have time to go. Let's talk about it next summer. I'll take the kids to look then."

Now is the time to make money, and Qin Xiang couldn't persuade him anymore, so she could only go with Zhao Qian.

Originally, they planned to drive there, but Qin Xiang had to take a plane. Zhao Ping followed them, and the remaining bodyguards followed Qin Dong to continue to inspect stores in the south, and finally met in Pengcheng.

The flight that afternoon arrived in Pengcheng when it was dark.

They didn't tell Meng Huaiqing and the third brother in advance, and they planned to give them a big surprise directly.

Qin Yang also bought a house in the same community in Pengcheng and renovated it, so the two of them came to the community together.

But there was no one at home. Zhao Qian also had a house upstairs, so she opened the door and went in. Qin Xiang did the same.

She turned on the light, and the house was cold and without any signs of life. Looking at the arrangement of the cups on the table, it seemed no different from when she left.

Everything was telling her one thing, that Meng Huaiqing might not have lived here all along.

But if she went to the bedroom and took a look, she could see the difference. The position of the clothes in the closet had changed, and there were a few clothes drying on the balcony.

It was very likely that Meng Huaiqing just came back to take a nap.

Qin Xiang went to the kitchen and took a look. The refrigerator was empty.

With a sigh, she ran into Zhao Qian who was about to go out. The two looked at each other helplessly, "Let's go buy some vegetables?"

"Let's go buy some vegetables."

Pengcheng was still a bit chaotic now. When the two went downstairs, they called Zhao Ping, and the three of them went straight to the vegetable market.

This place is close to the sea, and there are seafood. Qin Xiang bought a few crabs without hesitation. Although they were not so fat at this time, there were still some fat crabs, but the price was expensive. Qin Xiang also bought some octopus and sea-caught prawns, but bought less vegetables and meat.

Zhao Qian was helpless when she saw her buy so much, "Why did you buy so much?"

Qin Xiang smiled and said, "I haven't eaten for a while, I'm hungry."

It was almost seven o'clock when the two returned, and they hurried to cook.

But the meal was ready, but the person hadn't come back.

It was past nine o'clock, and the door finally rang. Qin Xiang quickly closed the door, and the person was standing behind the door.

Meng Huaiqing seemed to be on the phone, and hung up after a few words.

As soon as I entered the room, I realized something was wrong, there was the smell of rice.

I turned on the lights, and the room was clearly the same as when I left, but I felt something was different.

The table was full of food.

Meng Huaiqing chuckled, thought of something, slowly went to wash his hands and sat at the table, "Such delicious food, it's really tasteless to eat alone."

Qin Xiang couldn't stand behind the door anymore and came out, "You're so tired, you didn't even look for me."

Meng Huaiqing got up, "I was just about to look for you."

He was about to hug her, but then he remembered that he was covered in dust when he came back, "I'll go change clothes and take a shower."

Meng Huaiqing showered quickly, and Qin Xiang was amused, "You washed so quickly, did you wash off the mud on your body?"

Meng Huaiqing raised his eyebrows, "How about taking it off and checking?"

"You're beautiful, sit down and eat."

Fortunately, the food was not cold yet, otherwise Qin Xiang would have had some opinions about Meng Huaiqing.

The crabs were very fat, Qin Xiang ate hers, Meng Huaiqing asked, "Do you want me to peel them for you?"

Qin Xiang shook her head, "No, you don't understand the joy of eating what you peel yourself."

Meng Huaiqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You said it as if I didn't peel the crab myself."

But Meng Huaiqing had a bad stomach, and couldn't eat more crabs after eating one. Three of the four crabs were eaten by Qin Xiang.

Meng Huaiqing took out a bottle of rice wine and poured a glass for her, "Drink some of this, crabs are too cold, otherwise you will have a stomachache next time you have that."

Qin Xiang took a sip, "Not bad."

After a while, Meng Huaiqing suddenly said, "What do you think about me starting a brand to study the production of sanitary napkins?"

Qin Xiang was stunned, "You want to produce sanitary napkins?"

"Is it bad?" Meng Huaiqing asked, "What do you think of this market?"

Qin Xiang thought about it seriously, "Of course, but if you produce sanitary napkins, I think you can also develop children's diapers, which are diapers for babies to urinate in. You can also consider toiletries, but this will make the stall bigger."

Meng Huaiqing had a headache, "That's what I said, let's start with sanitary napkins."

Qin Xiang nodded, "Okay, okay."

Today, women's hygiene needs to be improved. Condoms can only solve part of the problem. Many women are still using wood ash to solve the problem of menstruation.

Although Qin Xiang herself uses sanitary napkins, they are all bought at a high price. Women from ordinary families really can't bear to spend money on them.

Qin Xiang paused and said, "If you can really lower the price, I would like to thank you on behalf of all the female compatriots."

"Thank you with my body?"

Qin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "No matter how noble the question is, it becomes a mess when it comes to you. I'm tired."

Regardless of whether they were energetic or not, after eating and washing up, the two of them must have developed from supporting each other to playing two-person poker under the influence of alcohol.

As for the noise coming from upstairs from time to time, who cares about that.

Short separation is better than a new marriage, understand.

Zhao Qian was on winter vacation and had nothing else to do, but Qin Xiang came here for work.

The next morning, dragging her tired body up, she followed Meng Huaiqing to the industrial park to see the progress of the factory construction.

The factory has been basically built. Qin Yang has already led people to decorate the interior. Qin Yang was too busy to handle the exterior wall, so he outsourced it to other teams.

Mi Hongjun came over happily to tell her about the situation here, "Is it okay?"

Qin Xiang nodded, "Not bad, but can't you take some time to go back and see Hao Jingjing?"

Mi Hongjun froze, and chuckled, "She came to see me. She has been traveling all over the country during this period. I may not be able to see her when I go back."

This made Qin Xiang helpless. The two of them were traveling all over the country. If this continued, what if there was a problem in their relationship?

Perhaps seeing her worry, Mi Hongjun said, "Don't worry, we are fine."

They were so excited when Hao Jingjing came. He almost didn't get out of bed.

Of course, he couldn't say this to his sister.

"Come on, let's take a look around."

This area is quite large. There are two factory buildings, each with three floors, and one office building with three floors. There are many rooms of different sizes.

Mi Hongjun said, "Your office and conference room are on the third floor. Do you want to go and have a look?"

Qin Xiang shook his head. "Forget it, let's not take a look for now. But we have to set up a separate office for the factory director here. I can't be stationed here. We have to continue looking for the factory director. If I can't find anyone, I'll just put you here." "I

promise to complete the task." Mi Hongjun paused. "But I can't be here. I have to go back to the capital."

Seeing him like this, Qin Xiang rolled her eyes. "I know, I know. I don't care once you find the right person."

After visiting the factory here, they went to see the newly acquired land. Because the Chinese New Year was approaching, no construction had started. However, the construction team had already negotiated and would start work directly after the New Year.

Across the road, Meng Huaiqing's shopping mall has already been built on three floors, and it seems that it is still being built.

Mi Hongjun said with emotion, "My brother-in-law is amazing. He said that there is a shopping mall below and an office building above, so he wants to build it very high."

Qin Xiang was surprised. She really didn't hear Meng Huaiqing say this.

After shopping here, Qin Xiang went back to the office here to settle down. Some documents that required Qin Xiang's signature were thousands of words, and those that needed to be processed were also processed together.

Only then did she have time to relax.

Not long after resting for a while, Mi Hongjun came hurriedly again, "Sister, someone wants to see you, and it seems to be from Gangcheng."
