Chapter 125
Not only Qin Xiang, many people were awakened from their sleep.
The scream was followed by crying and then chaos.
Qin Xiang sat there, somewhat bewildered. Meilin, a bit more courageous, had already put on her clothes and gotten out of bed. "I'll go check it out."
Everyone in the dormitory sat up and discussed whether anyone was having a nightmare.
After a while, Meilin returned and said speechlessly, "That Bei Nannan is so restless! She kept saying she saw a mouse and kept making a fuss."
After closing the door, there was still noise outside, but no one wanted to care and just lay down to sleep.
Qin Xiang lay down, but couldn't fall asleep. Bei Nannan was really noisy.
Early the next morning, Qin Xiang was still thinking about the wholesale city, but it was no use thinking about it, as she couldn't help for the time being.
After class, she rushed over to check, but when she arrived it was almost twelve o'clock and most of the shops were closed.
Mi Hongjun and Zhao Ping were still there. Qin Xiang opened the shutter door and went in. Mi Hongjun was counting the income, while Zhao Ping and Qin Dong were sorting the goods.
Seeing her come in, Mi Hongjun started to get excited again, "Sister, look at today's income."
Qin Xiang took the account book and took a look at it, and couldn't help but laugh. The money deposited today was more than yesterday, reaching a total of 11,000 yuan.
This is not a small amount of money.
"Are there a lot of people today?"
"A lot, a lot." Mi Hongjun said excitedly, "Today, there are not only new customers, but also old customers."
Qin Xiang was surprised, "Old customer?"
We already have regular customers on the second day of opening?
Mi Hongjun explained, "There's a night market in the capital, and many clothing stores come here to pick up goods. Some of them set up stalls at night, and then sell well, so they keep coming. Also, when I'm selling goods, I deliberately say that I'm running low on stock, so some people think I should take more, in case they sell out. So I sell more."
Qin Xiang was at a loss for words. Mi Hongjun even used this kind of marketing method. It was really amazing.
Qin Xiang asked again, "Can you handle this?"
"It's okay. With yesterday's experience, Qin Dong is also getting started today. Uncle Qin hired someone to help pack the goods today, so although it's busy, we can still handle it. By the way, Tan Xiu will be here this afternoon, so we can have a little more leisure time tomorrow."
Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. She's here. If you have anything to discuss, you two can come and discuss it."
Mi Hongjun continued, "By the way, a girl came to apply for a job today, but I was too busy to attend. I asked her to come back this afternoon. Can you interview her then?"
Qin Xiang thought about it and shook her head. "No, isn't Tan Xiu coming this afternoon? You can interview with Tan Xiu together. The salary can be based on Qin Dong's."
Mi Hongjun had no objection to this matter. After they finished tidying up, they prepared to go eat. Mi Hongjun and Qin Dong went to order food first, while Qin Xiang and Zhao Ping went to deposit money.
Thinking about the goods in the warehouse, Qin Xiang couldn't help but give some instructions.
After lunch, they couldn't sit idle in the afternoon. They had to replenish the missing goods first, and then tidy up before locking the door and leaving.
However, Qin Xiang has classes every afternoon, so she goes home after eating.
When I came back after class in the afternoon, Tan Xiu had already arrived. Although she looked a little tired, her eyes were bright.
I was really happy to see Qin Xiang, "I'm finally here."
Qin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Your parents finally agreed to let you come over?"
She had mentioned asking Tan Xiu to come over before, but her parents felt that she was not young anymore and should find a partner, so it was not appropriate to live so far away. This time, they only asked Tan Xiu to come over for a few months to recruit the staff and then leave after they had trained them.
Tan Xiu said, "It was only a few months. Once they heard you were going to give me a separate subsidy of 200 yuan, they had no objections. They packed up and told me to leave right away."
Qin Xiang laughed. "Then why don't you stay for a few more months? Not only these three shops, but the storefront over there is almost finished, and we'll need a lot of manpower. I have to go to class, and Xiaomi is taking care of this place, so you'll be busy."
"What's the big deal about being busy? Being busy is what makes you energetic." Tan Xiu said happily, and then added, "By the way, there was a candidate who came for an interview this afternoon. I didn't think he was very good, so I didn't keep him."
Qin Xiang nodded. "Just do what you think is right. Although it's not easy to recruit people, it's better to have nothing than to have someone of poor quality."
Tan Xiu had been with Qin Xiang for a long time and understood her temper very well, so she agreed immediately, "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of it."
Qin Xiang was relieved with Tan Xiu's joining, but because the wholesale market had just opened, Qin Xiang still had to go there every noon, in order to check the shipment situation and to deposit money.
This made her deeply aware of the importance of having an accountant, and she had to recruit more people.
After failing to find a suitable candidate for several days, Qin Baotian said, "Why don't we call Secretary Qin and ask him to pick two? There are quite a few girls in the village who have dropped out of school."
After the resumption of the college entrance examination, although more children went to school, due to limited conditions, not all children could go to school just because they knew it was important. When conditions did not allow, boys were generally guaranteed the opportunity to go to school, and girls were lucky enough to finish elementary school.
Qin Xiang felt uncomfortable when she thought of this. Thinking of the girls in the village, Qin Xiang was worried that they would not be able to adapt to the work here.
But there is also an advantage in choosing people from the village. We know their background well and they will be obedient if we teach them well.
Qin Xiang thought about it and called Secretary Qin, asking her to help find two girls aged 17 or 18. She had some requirements: at least they had to have graduated from elementary school and have a good appearance. If that wasn't possible, girls aged 16 or 17 would also be fine.
Girls in the countryside mature early, and many of them are married at the age of eighteen or nineteen, so it is difficult to find a suitable partner. Sixteen or seventeen is just the right age.
Secretary Qin was immediately happy when he heard this.
Everyone in the village knew that Qinxiang was now prosperous. Qin Baotian even led a construction team to the capital to build houses. I heard that Qin Dong was also retained. If he performed well, he would be a salesman in the capital.
Because of this, many people came to Secretary Qin to inquire about things and asked if they could go to the capital to work.
Secretary Qin was originally worried, but he didn't expect Qin Xiang to be grateful for the blind date and give him this opportunity.
Thinking of this, Secretary Qin agreed directly, "Don't worry, I will definitely select people according to your requirements."
Qin Xiang was very confident in Secretary Qin's character and immediately said happily, "Thank you very much. If the person is suitable this time, maybe we will choose someone from our hometown in the future. After all, I am from Qinjiatun and have deep feelings for our Qinjiatun."
"Okay, Qin Xiang, uncle knew you were a good guy."
After hanging up the phone, Secretary Qin called his wife over to discuss which daughter would be suitable.
Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone. No matter whether it would work or not, she would just recruit him.
After finishing her work outside, Qin Xiang went back to school for classes and was as busy as a top.
When I came back from outside that day, I saw Bei Nannan and Ming Chuanxiu pulling each other and seemed to be arguing downstairs of the teaching building.
Both of them looked unhappy. Although Bei Nannan was yelling loudly, Qin Xiang couldn't make out what she meant by her accent.
Perhaps seeing Qin Xiang, Bei Nannan said, "Anyway, I'm definitely going back."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Ming Chuanxiu looked unhappy and greeted Qin Xiang, "You're back."
Qin Xiang nodded. "Why is she crazy again?"
Ming Chuanxiu said gloomily, "Didn't she say there was a mouse that night? She's been pestering me these past few days, insisting on exchanging it with me. But I'm thinking the mouse might be fake. It's true that she and Fu Yunmei broke up. They haven't been inseparable these days."
This is quite unusual, but Qin Xiang smiled and said, "They seem to quarrel frequently, but they make up quickly. Once they make up, they probably won't be able to come to you anymore. If she still comes to you, then you can go to the counselor and let them solve the problem. The school dormitory is not her home, so she can do whatever she wants. Her parents spoil her, so we don't need to do that."
Hearing this, Ming Chuanxiu nodded, "Okay."
Since moving into this dormitory, Ming Chuanxiu has felt much more relaxed both physically and mentally, so there is no way he would move back.
The two returned to the dormitory together, but saw a familiar figure downstairs.
"Qin Xiang."
Qin Xiang said to Ming Chuanxiu, "You go back first. I'll talk to my friend for a while and then go upstairs."
Ming Chuanxiu didn't say much, nor did she ask many questions. She just glanced at the two of them and went upstairs.
Qin Xiang looked at Jie Zong and asked politely, "Why are you here?"
"I came to see you." Jie Zong saw her distant and polite expression, and felt bitter in his heart, "Qin Xiang, can we not even be friends anymore?"
Qin Xiang glanced at her watch. It was already late and she was quite tired, so she decided to tell the truth. "It's not that I don't want to be without friends, it's you who made us without friends. Your mother came to see me when I returned to the provincial capital."
Jie Zong was stunned, obviously not knowing about this.
But whether he knew it or not, it had already caused her trouble. She was very busy every day and didn't want such trouble. She also didn't want to have a boyfriend who needed her careful care and coaxing.
Waste of time and energy.
Rather than looking for something like this, she would rather spend money and save the trouble.
Jie Zong explained, “I didn’t know about this.”
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether you know or not, Jie Zong. We haven't known each other for long. College life is so wonderful, and you're wasting it for one person, making your parents worry. Do you think it's worth it? I told you last time that I thought you had let it go, but I didn't expect it to be like this. If you don't consider others, you should at least be worthy of all the years of hard study, don't you think?"
"You're right." Jie Zong sighed, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Qin Xiang shook her head. "It won't be a big problem. I understand your mother's love for her son."
"good."
Qin Xiang nodded, "Then I'll go up first."
Jie Zong nodded and did not stop him. He watched Qin Xiang go up and then went back.
No wonder Qin Xiang was reluctant to personally give him the things his family asked him to bring. It turned out that his mother had gone to see Qin Xiang.
There might have been some potential between the two of them before, but now he has become a nuisance in her eyes, and they are drifting further and further apart.
Qin Xiang went upstairs and naturally was asked by several roommates, "Why is he here again?"
"You look unhappy, did you have a fight?"
Qin Xiang was helpless. "He's just a fellow villager, several years younger than me. Don't talk nonsense."
Qin Xiang had just finished speaking when someone outside called out, "Qin Xiang, someone's looking for you."
As soon as the shouting died down, several people quickly leaned over the window and looked out. Meilin laughed, "This one looks quite big, but it looks a little familiar."
"That doesn't look familiar. It's our instructor He. Why is he here?"
Qin Xiang couldn't help but feel a headache. She went to the bedside to take a look. Just then, He Chenghua looked up and their eyes met.
Several people in the dormitory still had some fear of He Chenghua in their hearts, so they quickly dodged when He Chenghua looked over at them.
"Instructor He came to see Qin Xiang? Why?"
Okay, the eyes are becoming ambiguous.
Qin Xiang couldn't help but look at Guan Yuping. Guan Yuping pretended to be dead, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.
The man just stood there without moving, wearing a military uniform and standing there with his hands behind his back and his hands on his waist, which was very conspicuous.
With He Chenghua's bad temper, if she didn't go down, who knows what he might do.
"I'll go down and take a look."
Several people started to make noises, “Go quickly.”
Qin Xiang had to go downstairs before she even had time to sit down. She was extremely reluctant, but it seemed like she still owed He Chenghua a meal, so she might as well just treat him.
After going downstairs, He Chenghua walked towards her and said, "Come on, let's talk."
There were many people watching downstairs in the dormitory, and He Chenghua knew many people at school, so it was indeed inappropriate. Qin Xiang saw him like this and thought he really had something to ask him, so she followed him to the lake.
The lakeside is a really great place. Many people are chatting here, and of course there are couples dating by the lake.
Qin Xiang stopped and asked, "Mr. He, do you want to talk to me about something?"
He Chenghua looked at her dissatisfiedly and said, "You rented a shop in Zhifu Wholesale City?"
"I bought it." Qin Xiang said.
He Chenghua nodded, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Qin Xiang was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh. "Mr. He, it's true that you were my military training instructor, and it's true that you helped me, but I don't have to tell you everything, right? You're an officer, and you might have the awareness to help the people, but you don't have to report every time I do business, do you?"
In other words, this person has a big mouth, and what he says is really unpleasant to listen to, making her want to turn around and leave every minute.
He Chenghua also realized that his tone was a bit harsh, and his face looked a little uncomfortable. "Who did you offend?"
"Offended anyone?" Qin Xiang frowned, "Probably not."
He Chenghua couldn't help but want to make a sarcastic remark when he saw her like this, but he swallowed it back when he thought of what she had just said. "Then why does someone want to teach you a lesson?"
Qin Xiang: "...?? Is it because my shop is doing well? Who?"
He Chenghua rolled his eyes and finally couldn't hold it in any longer, "I told you you're stupid, but you still refuse to admit it. You don't even know you've been tricked."
Qin Xiang was a little unconvinced, "Yes, I'm stupid, not as smart and wise as Mr. He, okay?"
At the same time, she was also thinking about this matter. Apart from a few people in the dormitory, not many people knew about the purchase of the shop, and He Chenghua couldn't have known about it. But now He Chenghua not only knew that she was doing business there, but also said that someone wanted to teach her a lesson.
The person who was offended?
Qin Xiang has been in the capital for less than two months. Who could she have offended?
Suddenly, I recalled what Bei Nannan said that day, saying that her cousin also bought a shop in the wholesale city.
In other words, Bei Nannan knew that she was doing business there. Could it be her?
He Chenghua said, "I can help you solve it, but how will you thank me?"
Qin Xiang actually didn't want to trouble him, "Maybe I don't need your help."
"No need?" He Chenghua chuckled. "Then you know, doing business in the capital requires more than just brains. You need connections."
Qin Xiang looked at him and had to admit that this was true no matter where he lived. Those without connections could indeed develop on their own, but the road ahead would be more difficult. On the contrary, those with connections found it much easier to do anything.
Not convinced?
There's no point in being dissatisfied.
For example, when she was applying for a license a few days ago, it was all done in an hour with Miao Sheng’s help. If she had gone by herself, she wouldn’t know how long it would take.
Qin Xiang was a little depressed and wanted to tell He Chenghua that she didn't need to bother him, but He Chenghua didn't give her a chance and said directly, "I'm sorry for being nosy. I've already solved it for you. Think about it yourself and see if you have offended anyone. If you have any trouble, just mention my name or come to me. I don't ask for much, just treat me to a meal."
Solved? So He Chenghua did it first and asked for her help later?
What exactly did He Chenghua mean? This made Qin Xiang alert.
He Chenghua was startled by her look, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Qin Xiang frowned, "What is your purpose? Why are you helping me so much?"
He Chenghua sneered, "I feel sorry for you, but I can't bear to see you being so stupid."
"No." Qin Xiang stared at him and suddenly asked, "Are you attracted to me?"
