Chapter 53
Before leaving, Qin Xiang carefully explained a lot of things to her third brother. Although he couldn't help with the sales, he could watch over the store and prevent people from messing up.
Miao Xiaofeng and Tan Xiu were still responsible for the sales. Qin Xiang told them, "Just follow what I said before. If you are not sure and feel that the combination is not good, don't match it. Let the customers choose for themselves." Miao Xiaofeng and Tan Xiu
nodded hurriedly. Although they were a little nervous, they still agreed, "Don't worry, Sister Xiangxiang, we will definitely take care of the store."
They have only been selling with Qin Xiang for four or five days. It is impossible to say that they have a lot of experience. Now they have to rush to put the ducks on the shelves. They have to do it.
After Qin Xiang made all the arrangements, she picked up her luggage and took a bus back to Qingshui County. Thanks to the direct bus from the county to the provincial capital, although it takes a little longer, it is also much more convenient.
When she got on the bus at the station, Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. She had been busy with the store these days, and it was impossible not to be tired. But she also felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
In this era, who said that women can only rely on men? She can still do well without the Wang family. She
took the bus in the morning and arrived in the county at around two in the afternoon.
Qin Xiang did not delay and went straight back to the courtyard. Old lady Liu was still setting up the stall at the back door. When she saw Qin Xiang, she slapped her thigh and said, "Qin Xiang, it's really you. I didn't recognize you. You've been away for so many days. How are you doing in the provincial capital?"
The old lady asked one question after another. Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Very well. I came back for something and came to see the situation here. How is your stall going?"
Old lady Liu smiled and said, "Very well. Xiaomi settled my April wages and I took 15 yuan. My daughter-in-law almost worships me as a gift."
Qin Xiang was happy and said, "What are your plans for the future? Will you continue to set up the stall?" "You don't plan to set up the stall anymore
?" Old lady Liu was really reluctant to do so. She was only making one yuan a day.
Qin Xiang said, "I have opened a shop in the provincial capital, so I can't take care of this place anymore. If you want to continue to set up the stall, my suggestion is that you buy the goods directly from me in the future, and the profits from the sales are all yours."
Mrs. Liu hesitated immediately.
Although she felt guilty about taking one yuan a day to set up the stall, she also felt that it was good. She really didn't dare to do it herself. After all, no matter how small the item is, it still requires capital. If she really paid for the goods, she might have to use up her own coffin capital.
Seeing her hesitation, Qin Xiang did not force her, "Go back and discuss it with my eldest brother. I will not leave for three to five days."
After that, she went home through the main gate. Since she went to the provincial capital, Mi Hongjun gave up the house he rented and moved here. After all, the goods were all here, and he was worried about no one watching over them, so he lived in the room where Qin Yang used to live. It
was already afternoon when Qin Xiang came back, but Mi Hongjun had not come back yet. It was estimated that he was rushing to sell the goods.
Qin Xiang was really too tired, so she went back to the room and lay down to sleep for a while. When she woke up, she smelled the fragrance of rice. She came out and saw that Mi Hongjun had already prepared dinner. "Sister Xiangxiang, you're up. Let's have dinner. I made it."
Qin Xiang was a little surprised when she looked at the three dishes on the table. "You can cook."
Mi Hongjun scratched his head embarrassedly. "Yes, what should I do if I don't know how to cook when I live alone? It's just so-so."
The two sat down opposite each other. Qin Xiang hadn't eaten lunch and was really hungry. She picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and ate it. She was even more surprised. "It tastes good. I didn't expect you to have this skill."
Mi Hongjun was praised and the smile on his face became even bigger.
After dinner, Mi Hongjun was hesitant. Qin Xiang leaned against the wall and didn't want to move. "Just tell me if you have anything to say."
Mi Hongjun sat down in front of her and said expectantly, "Sister Xiangxiang, take me to the provincial capital."
Qin Xiang looked at him and shook her head. "It's really not possible for now. I hired two clerks there to look after the store temporarily. You can't leave until the county finds a suitable person to take over the wholesale business."
She thought for a while and said, "I'll give you a raise, sixty dollars a month, plus a bonus, how about it?"
"Not so good." Mi Hongjun was very frustrated. He came to Qin Xiang because he really thought that Qin Xiang and his sister were good people. But now that the brother and sister have gone to the provincial capital, he still has to look after this stall in the county. Yes, he wanted to do something serious, but...
He looked at Qin Xiang and always felt that his little thoughts were seen through. It couldn't be that Qin Xiang deliberately kept him here because his little thoughts were seen through.
Qin Xiang didn't know what was going on in Mi Hongjun's heart, but she could see that he seemed dissatisfied with the status quo. Could it be that she made a wrong arrangement?
She really thought Mi Hongjun was capable and wanted him to look after the stall here for the time being.
Qin Xiang thought for a while and said, "Why don't you stop rushing to the gathering place in the future and just specialize in delivering orders for individual businesses. I brought money back this time to buy a tricycle and you can ride it to deliver the goods. At the latest, I will find a suitable person to take over this place and let you go to the provincial capital. Do you think it's okay?"
Mi Hongjun sighed, "Okay."
Qin Xiang encouraged, "Xiaomi, you must remember that I plan to train you "With your and Third Brother's help, I can do this business for a long time and do it well. Now everything is training you, you can't let me down."
Mi Hongjun felt that he was fine again, and nodded hurriedly, "Sister Xiangxiang, don't worry, I will do my best."
As they were talking, someone knocked on the door. When they went out, it was Qiao Huilan from next door.
Qin Xiang had no good impression of this family. The smile on her face fell when she saw them. "Auntie, it's this late. What are you doing here?"
"Yes, yes." Qiao Huilan looked around the yard with her eyes rolling around. Qin Xiang frowned. "Are you doing anything? If not, go back."
"Yes, yes." Qiao Huilan looked at her expectantly. "I heard that you have gone to the provincial capital to do business. Can we buy goods from you in the county and sell them?"
Qin Xiang looked at her in surprise and nodded after a while. "Of course." Qiao Huilan's face showed joy. "Then..."
"I have no problem with handing over the money and the goods and signing an agreement."
The smile on Qiao Huilan's face froze. "Our family has no money, so what do you think..."
"You want to settle accounts? That's not possible." Qin Xiang thought to herself, forget about settling accounts. She wouldn't even give her a penny less. What kind of relationship do they have? "I also need funds to turn over my business. I can't settle accounts. If you are happy, just bring the money and we will deliver the goods. Otherwise, you can go ask someone else."
After saying that, seeing that Qiao Huilan was still standing there, Qin Xiang said, "I have to rest."
Qiao Huilan was in a bad mood and muttered, "It's shameless for a single man and a single woman to live together..."
Qin Xiang's face fell immediately, and she raised her hand and slapped him, "Get lost."
Qiao Huilan suddenly came to her senses and realized what she had said. When she looked up again, the door was already closed. She touched her burning face and couldn't help but slap herself, "How can you beg for help like this?"
Qin Xiang's good mood was ruined by Qiao Huilan. Mi Hongjun had lived here for a while, and she couldn't just kick him out as soon as she came back.
What kind of person is this?
Qin Xiang had just entered the house and sat down when someone knocked on the door again. Qin Xiang was too lazy to move, so Mi Hongjun hurried to open the door, "Sister Xiangxiang, second brother is here."
Qin Xiang was delighted. She stood up and saw Qin Hai and Huang Xiufen coming. She hurried out to greet them, "Second brother, second sister-in-law, why are you here?"
Huang Xiufen smiled, "I went out to buy things in the afternoon and met Aunt Liu. She said you were back, so your second brother wanted to come and see you. He was worried about you."
Qin Xiang smiled when she heard it, and let them go in and sit down before saying, "I'm with third brother. There's nothing to worry about."
"What about him?" Qin Hai looked at his sister and found that she seemed a little different after not seeing her for a few days, mainly in terms of spirit.
Qin Xiang: "The store in the provincial capital has just opened. There are only two sales clerks watching. I'm worried. My third brother is watching over there. I came back to take part in the monthly exam at school."
Upon hearing this, Qin Hai's expression became more serious. "You want to go to college, so you still have to focus on studying. You are so busy every day, can you take care of your studies?"
Qin Xiang felt guilty. To be honest, she could only read in the morning in the provincial capital these days. She couldn't read at noon and in the afternoon when there were too many people. In addition, there was a night market there and the stores closed late, so she couldn't read at other times.
Seeing her like this, Qin Hai disagreed, "Xiangxiang, your second brother's talent is just like that, and he will never be able to go to college in this lifetime, but you are different, you have a good brain and good grades. If you can spend all your time on studying, you may be able to get into the capital university."
Qin Xiang looked at his second brother, "Second brother, isn't going to college also for a good job? For other people, going to college is to be assigned a good job. But compared to the job assigned by the state, I prefer my current life, being an old man myself. board, working for myself. Going to university for me is to improve my cultural level and some skills. As long as the school I want to go to is good enough and allows me to learn something, it is enough for me. "
Is Capital University not good? It is definitely good. It is the best school in China together with Hua University. If she puts all her heart into studying, she will definitely be admitted. But she has too many things in her mind. She is confident that she can be admitted to the university in the provincial capital, but she is not very sure about the Capital University.
She looked at her second brother's frown and comforted him, "Second brother, I know what I'm doing, you don't have to worry."
It would be a lie to say that she was not worried. Qin Hai just felt sorry for Qin Xiang's grades. "It's never too late to make money. Anyway, there are still two months. You must study hard. The capital is different from the provincial capital. Go to the capital if you can. Wouldn't it make more money to open a store in the capital than in the provincial capital?"
Qin Xiang nodded, "Okay, I get it."
Qin Hai, "You can't just say you know it, you have to really do it."
Qin Xiang really understood this time, "I'll go to school to take the exam tomorrow, and I'll do my best."
In fact, if Qin Hai said, Qin Xiang shouldn't start a business at this time, and should focus on the college entrance examination, but he understood that his sister was very generous and had her own ideas, and it was not easy to persuade her to change.
The second brother and his wife sat for a while and prepared to leave. Qin Xiang sent them out and asked again, "Second brother, no one is interested in my wholesale business here. Are you really not going to do it?"
"No." Qin Hai looked at her and said, "Xiangxiang, let me tell you, it's okay for your third brother, but don't bring other people in our family or relatives into it. It's not good for your business. If there is really someone who needs help, then pay them the same salary as normal employees. Do you understand?"
Qin Xiang knew that the second brother was doing this for her own good, so she nodded, "I know, second brother, isn't it because you are my second brother?"
"It is precisely because I am your second brother that I don't want to take advantage of you." Qin Hai has come here often to help Mi Hongjun recently, so of course he knows how much money Qin Xiang makes from her business. He can make a lot in the county, and even more in the provincial capital.
Are you greedy?
Who doesn't covet money? But Qin Hai has known since he was a child that if he wants something, he has to rely on himself, not on anyone else.
After the couple left, Qin Xiang closed the door, turned on the light, took out the textbooks, and really prepared for a pre-exam intensive study.
After reading until more than ten o'clock, Qin Xiang couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep.
The next morning, Qin Xiang went to Qingshui County No. 1 Middle School in high spirits.
At this time, students from the No. 1 Middle School in the county went to the examination room. Qin Xiang first went to Ning Sumei to get the admission ticket, and then joined the ranks of the examination army.
Today is not actually a monthly exam, but the first test to find the basic level. It is particularly important for students, because there will be a pre-examination for the college entrance examination in twenty days, and the first mock exam is just right to see the level of the students.
When Wang Xiao saw Qin Xiang coming into the examination room, his face fell immediately.
What a sin.
