Chapter 84

There seems to be no difference between how women look at men and how men look at women.

Qin Xiang admires and likes to look at handsome men, and she will also sigh a few words, but she will not be so self-indulgent as to think that a man like Meng Huaiqing will fall in love with her.

She had not been to Hong Kong City in the 1980s and 1990s of her previous life, but the wealthy people in Hong Kong City in later generations all pay attention to the matching of family backgrounds, business marriages, or looking for a beautiful actress in Hong Kong City when choosing a wife. For someone like Meng Huaiqing, who is obviously from a big family, this is even more so when looking for a wife, and perhaps he himself cannot make the decision.

Qin Xiang just looks at the handsome man to feast her eyes, but why is Meng Huaiqing walking towards her now?

Is he going to say hello to her?

She figured it out immediately. Master Ge still lived next door to her house. She hadn't seen Meng Huaiqing during this period. He must be busy with business. He probably asked her to look after Master Ge when he saw her. After

figuring it out, Qin Xiang was no longer nervous. It was okay to be watched by others. It wouldn't hurt. Maybe she could even gain some favor in front of the leaders of these factories so that she could get more goods. Qin Xiang

smiled widely when she thought of this benefit.

Qin Xiang felt that she was always kind to useful tools.

This smile looked a little fake, which surprised Meng Huaiqing who was walking over, and he couldn't help laughing in his heart.

Qin Xiang spoke first, "I didn't expect to meet Mr. Meng here, what a coincidence."

Meng Huaiqing smiled, with fine lines at the corners of his eyes, which not only did not make people feel that he was old, but instead made him more charming.

What a pity, he is a big boss and a big shot in Hong Kong, we can't afford to offend him. Qin Xiang said happily, "Mr. Meng, do you want me to look after Master Ge?"

Meng Huaiqing was stunned, then smiled, "Yes."

"These are all trivial matters. Even if you don't say it, Master Ge and I are neighbors, and we should help each other." Qin Xiang said sincerely, "Don't worry."

Meng Huaiqing didn't know what he was thinking, and nodded with a smile, "Thank you."

Qin Xiang waved her hand, warm and polite, "It should be, we are neighbors, help each other."

After she finished speaking, she saw Meng Huaiqing still standing there and was a little confused, "Mr. Meng?"

Meng Huaiqing sneered, "Then I'll go first."

Meng Huaiqing was quite gentlemanly and paid special attention to etiquette. He thanked him again and again before leaving.

After the group got in the car and left, the salesperson here said, "Do you know the distinguished guest of our development zone leader?"

Distinguished guest?

Qin Xiang raised her eyebrows, showing a perfect smile on her face, and said implicitly, "I have some business dealings with him, and his elders are also neighbors. I can't say that we are very familiar with each other, but we have some dealings."

What she said was not a lie. She rented his house, and it was also a financial relationship, which was a business relationship.

But as soon as Qin Xiang said this, the salesperson's eyes changed when he looked at Qin Xiang, "I didn't expect that you have business dealings with the boss of Gangcheng. I guess your business must be very large."

Qin Xiang didn't expect that just a few words with Meng Huaiqing would make a salesperson's attitude towards her change drastically. Of course, she wouldn't be stupid enough to deny it, and just said, "It's a small business. It's still in the start-up stage and we still need help from our factory."

"That's definitely no problem." The salesperson said, "Come over at four o'clock in the afternoon, our manager will definitely be here."

It was getting late, and Qin Xiang didn't stay any longer. She sat with Qin Yang to find Guan Zhibin at the Thirteenth Line.

When they arrived at Shisanhang, Guan Zhibin was packing up his stall. Seeing them coming, he smiled and said, "I took the initiative to book a table at the nearby Yanyan Restaurant and asked my friend to go directly. You don't mind, do you?"

How could Qin Xiang mind? If she really let her choose, she might not be able to choose a restaurant that the other party liked. She immediately smiled and said, "What are you talking about? Of course your choice is good. I can't thank you enough."

While waiting for Guan Zhibin to pack up, it was not too late. The three of them went to Yanyan Restaurant and saw a middle-aged man in a suit at the door.

At this time, the middle-aged man was holding a bag in his hand, which was probably the samples they wanted.

This man was obviously very familiar with Guan Zhibin, and the two greeted each other very familiarly.

When they got closer, Guan Zhibin introduced them, "This is Qiao Guoan, the sales manager of the Huayu Garment Factory, and this is Ms. Qin Xiang, the boss from Shandong Province."

Qin Xiang was surprised and looked at her third brother. It couldn't be such a coincidence, right?

Qin Xiang stepped forward to shake hands with him. Qiao Guoan shook her hand slightly with a tense face and then let go. "I wonder what kind of factory Boss Qin opened."

Qin Xiang raised her eyebrows, thinking that he was difficult to deal with. Maybe he looked down on her business?

Hearing this, Qin Xiang said, "It's a small business, still in the initial stage, but now we need a batch of sportswear. It happens that Boss Guan knows you, so I introduced you on your behalf and would like to discuss cooperation."

Qiao Guoan nodded slightly, "Then how many pieces do you plan to purchase? Our factory is a big one, and we are not willing to accept some small orders, mainly because it is too troublesome."

This was not a very pleasant thing to say. Guan Zhibin hurriedly said, "Let's go, our Boss Qin is treating us today, we will eat and chat."

Qiao Guoan's eyes passed over Qin Xiang's face, it seemed that he did not believe that such a beautiful woman would do business. Instead, Qin Xiang next to Qin Xiang looked like someone who was not easy to mess with, which made people a little wary.

A few people entered the private room, and Qin Xiang handed the menu to Qiao Guoan, "Boss Qiao, please order the dishes, the host should follow the guests' preference."

Qiao Guoan did not pretend to be sentimental. He took it and ordered three dishes and handed it back to Qin Xiang, who handed it to Guan Zhibin. Guan Zhibin, as the introducer, naturally wanted to get some benefits from it, so he tried his best to ease the atmosphere, "Okay, since none of you want to order, I'll order what I like."

Guan Zhibin also ordered three dishes and closed the door, "Three dishes are not a small number," and then asked, "Would you like to drink some wine?"

Qin Xiang nodded, "Of course."

So he ordered another glass of wine, but Qin Xiang said, "My third brother can't drink much, so you can't drink this wine. Save some for me to carry back later."

Only then did Qiao Guoan realize that this fierce man was Qin Xiang's brother, no wonder.

Before the food came, Qin Xiang wanted to take a look at the samples, but Qiao Guoan just sat there without moving. "I want to know the order quantity."

Qin Xiang did not hide it and estimated it based on the price he inquired today. "About 1,500 sets. If nothing unexpected happens, we will place additional orders later."

"Boss Qin is so arrogant." This surprised Qiao Guoan. 1,500 sets of sportswear, the total price must be more than 30,000 yuan. She originally thought that the other party would order at most 300 to 500 pieces.

Since it is 1,500 pieces, it can indeed be negotiated.

Qiao Guoan's attitude has improved visibly, which can be regarded as giving face to Guan Zhibin.

Qin Xiang asked to take a look at the samples. Qiao Guoan was naturally very confident in the clothes in his factory, and immediately handed her the bag he brought, "Because it is sportswear, the style is the same for men and women, but the size is different."

"Thank you." Qin Xiang thanked her and opened it to pretend to take a look. It was the same store they had visited before.

The sportswear of that time is still different from that of later times. The sportswear of Huayu is considered to be of good style and fabric in the industrial zone. She was originally thinking about rejecting Guan Zhibin, but who would have thought that they would be so lucky?

After the food came, several people ate and talked, and occasionally toasted each other. Guan Zhibin didn't drink much, but what surprised him was that Qin Xiang seemed to have a good alcohol tolerance. After three cups, his face was red and his heart was not beating.

Qin Yang ate silently. During the meal, except for paying attention to his sister's expression, he hardly spoke.

Qiao Guoan also had some alcohol tolerance, and seeing that the other party had a good alcohol tolerance, he didn't drink much.

When the meal was almost finished, the two sides talked about the price.

Qiao Guoan said, "Since you are Lao Guan's friends and fellow villagers, I'll give you twenty-five for that set."

Qin Xiang narrowed his eyes and said bluntly, "Twenty-five is a bit expensive."

Guan Zhibin also knew that Qiao Guoan was deliberately leaving him more profit, so he took the initiative to speak, "Brother Qiao, I have a good relationship with them, can you give me a discount for my sake? Although the styles of your factory are from Hong Kong, the production fabrics are still local, so it doesn't cost much."

"You kid." Qiao Guoan laughed and said straightforwardly, "Then it's 23 yuan per set. It can't be any lower."

Qin Xiang was satisfied with the price. After all, the price given by the store was still 25 yuan. It seemed that there was only a difference of 2 yuan, but the savings of 1,500 sets was 3,000 yuan, and 130 more sets could be purchased.

Moreover, the prices at that time were not like those in later times. The prices were very low and the prices quoted were almost the same. Even if the salesperson said that the price could be cheaper for a large quantity, that little bit would probably not exceed one yuan. After

a meal, Qin Xiang was very satisfied, so he agreed to go there in the afternoon to sign the contract and let Qiao Guoan prepare the goods so that he could directly pay for the goods.

Qiao Guoan was naturally satisfied when he saw that the other party agreed so readily.

After leaving the Yanyan Building, Qiao Guoan left.

Guan Zhibin said, "My friend is a little arrogant, but he's still a good person."

Qin Xiang agreed with this point. At least he didn't have the annoyance that some greasy men would have, and he didn't stare at her face endlessly. She nodded and said gratefully, "I really owe you a lot today."

Guan Zhibin waved his hand, "Meeting is fate. We are business partners and fellow villagers. It's right to help each other. Just don't forget me when you become successful in the future."

Qin Xiang laughed when she heard it, "Of course, I can forget anyone but you."

After they separated, Qin Xiang and Qin Xiang returned to the guesthouse to rest for a while. At three o'clock, they set out from the guesthouse and went directly to the industrial park where the factory was located.

Unexpectedly, when I got there, I saw Qiao Guoan already waiting, and his attitude was even friendlier than at lunch.

The two chatted, and Qiao Guoan said casually, "I didn't expect that Boss Qin also knew the big boss of Gangcheng."

"It's just a little cooperation, not very familiar." Qin Xiang was humble, and was also worried that if he really asked her to introduce him, it would turn out that she was not familiar with Meng Huaiqing at all, which would be embarrassing .

Qiao Guoan laughed and said, "Boss Meng is not an ordinary person. This time he was able to come to our industrial park with the help of the municipal government, otherwise he would not want to come here."

Qin Xiang just smiled politely.

Qiao Guoan glanced at her and said, "We only know that Boss Meng is a rising star in the technology industry and is now investing in our factory. Does Boss Qin know where he comes from?"

Qin Xiang really didn't know this. "I really don't know."

When he came back at noon, the salesperson told Qiao Guoan what happened in the morning and gave him Qin Xiang's name and contact number. When Qiao Guoan saw the name and the other party's attitude during lunch, he knew why the other party was so easy to talk to. It turned out that he had already come to inquire.

But the price he gave was indeed good.

It's just that he didn't expect Qin Xiang to have a connection with the boss of Gangcheng. Moreover, the factory director came to remind him to build a good relationship with Qin Xiang, give him preferential prices when necessary, and deepen the relationship.

Qiao Guoan was originally puzzled as to how a big boss could have a connection with an individual business owner, but thinking about Qin Xiang's face, Qiao Guoan understood.

In the past two years, the big bosses in Gangcheng seem to like to find a girlfriend in the mainland, and as for bringing her home, that is impossible. Maybe Boss Meng and Qin Xiang have such a relationship.

However, since the leader has given instructions, Qiao Guoan will naturally not refuse, and will give a discount within a reasonable range.

Qiao Guoan stared at her and said, "Boss Meng is the eldest son of the Wen family in Gangcheng. The Meng family has been a large family in Gangcheng for many years, and is involved in many industries. Almost all of the clothing brands under their name are worn by celebrities."

Qin Xiang was puzzled, "But Mr. Meng's surname is not Wen?"

"That's because Mr. Meng took his mother's surname." Qiao Guoan obviously knew Meng Huaiqing a little better, and he didn't mind giving him a good example. "It is said that Boss Meng didn't have a very good relationship with his father. He never joined the family business. Instead, he lived with his grandmother and started his own business. With the help of his grandmother, he emerged like a group of dark horses in Hong Kong City in a few years. Then, he was not satisfied with the market in Hong Kong City and started to invest and set up factories in the mainland."

He was paying attention to Qin Xiang's expression when he said these words. Seeing that Qin Xiang seemed a little surprised and not surprised, he was not sure what this beautiful woman was thinking.

However, after talking about this, the two talked about ordering again. Qiao Guoan brought the order contract over. Qin Xiang was a little surprised when she saw the price on it. Qiao Guoan smiled and said, "Would you like to be friends? I went back to apply to the leader. Our leader is very optimistic about your business, so I will give you another fifty cents."

Twenty-two and a half yuan for a set of sportswear, this price...

Qin Xiang felt it was very suitable, reselling it for fifty yuan, and selling it at forty-seven or forty-eight yuan.

If it were normal, she might not have confidence. Isn't this the provincial champion? Is the provincial champion afraid that no one will buy the sportswear he sells?

Qin Xiang was moved and said, "Thank you for your help, Manager Qiao."

Unexpectedly, Meng Huaiqing just took the initiative to come over and say a few words to her, and she was able to take advantage of it.

Is this considered as taking advantage of her position?

Seriously speaking, Qin Xiang actually felt a little guilty.

Forget it, Meng Huaiqing estimated that he would have to go to Mr. Ge's place later, so at most she could help cook a few more meals as a thank you. The big boss probably doesn't care about such a clothing factory at all.

After signing the 1,500 sets of sportswear, Qin Xiang followed Qin Yang, who was dressed fiercely and holding money, to pick up the goods.

1,500 sets of clothes, that is 3,000 pieces of clothes, which is not a small number.

Qiao Guoan said, "It just so happens that tomorrow afternoon we have a truck going to the north to deliver goods. You have quite a lot of goods. We can bring it over on the way. You can just ask someone to pick it up there. This will save time."

Qin Xiang was naturally delighted when she heard this, and hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, Manager Qiao."

This was another chance for her to benefit. They didn't mention this at noon.

After the matter was settled, Qin Xiang was not worried that the other party would break the contract. It was such a big factory, and it was also under the banner of Meng Huaiqing. They couldn't cheat her at this time.

After the sportswear was ordered, Qin Xiang's cash that she could use in the past few months was almost gone, but there was no other way. If she wanted to make a big profit, she had to purchase more goods.

But it was almost dark now, and the brother and sister didn't go out to run around. They went back to rest first.

However, remembering Cui Hong's letter of denunciation, Qin Xiang got up and called Mi Hongjun to inquire about the situation.

Unexpectedly, it was He Liping who answered the phone, "Sister Xiangxiang, Mi Hongjun took the TV station's people to your hometown. The TV station said that if they wanted to report, they would have to investigate carefully. It is impossible to make malicious reports based on a letter that is not known to be true or false. So Mi Hongjun followed that Hao Jingjing to your hometown early this morning, and it is estimated that they should have arrived at your village by now."

Qin Xiang understood what she said and asked about the business in the store.

When talking about this, He Liping became excited. "Sister Xiangxiang, there are a lot of people coming to our store to choose clothes these days. It's thanks to a batch of goods that arrived from Yangcheng before, otherwise we would have been out of stock. Both summer and autumn clothes are selling well. It's a pity that you are not here. Many people come here for you. If you were there, you would sell even more."

As a boss, these are probably the words she likes the most.

Qin Xiang felt excited just thinking about it, and immediately said, "Tell them to work hard. After they are done with this, I will treat you to a big meal and give you bonuses."

He Liping was happy, "Okay. By the way, the folding umbrellas and sun hats in our store are also selling well. It would be better to bring back some more this time."

Qin Xiang calculated the quantity and principal, and felt that although he was a little nervous, he could still bring in a little, "Okay." After

hanging up the phone here, Qin Xiang called Qinjiatun again. Unexpectedly, Mi Hongjun and others happened to live in Secretary Qin's house, which saved him trouble.

Mi Hongjun answered the phone and reported to her, "Sister Xiangxiang, you are very famous in your village. Everyone knows that you have won the provincial championship. When they heard that we came to investigate your divorce, many people told us something. Sister Xiangxiang, it is really not easy for you."

Especially when he learned that Qin Xiang could have been admitted to university two years ago, but someone tricked her into getting zero points in mathematics, Mi Hongjun was almost angry to death, and he wanted to find Qin Xiang's elder brother and sister-in-law and beat them up immediately. Even

so, Qin Xiang's elder brother and sister-in-law even came up to say bad things about Qin Xiang, saying that Qin Xiang was unfilial to her mother. It was not until Qin Xiang's father came out to explain, and the villagers explained, that they realized how excessive Qin Xiang's elder brother and sister-in-law and even her mother were.

Qin Xiang didn't take it seriously, "That's all in the past, I don't care about it anymore. I have too many things to do in my life, and there are many people who deserve my attention, so why should I care about those who make me angry? They don't deserve to appear in my mind, out of sight, out of mind, who cares about them."

Mi Hongjun felt very uncomfortable and heard Qin Xiang's voice at this moment, and he wanted to say the words that were stuck in his heart.

"Sister Xiangxiang..."

Qin Xiang hummed, "Anything else?" "

Sister Xiangxiang..."

Mi Hongjun just wanted to speak up when Hao Jingjing suddenly ran in, "Is it Qin Xiang? I want to talk to her."
