Chapter 137
Or maybe it’s because Qin Xiang and Cui Hong have been best friends for so many years.
Cui Hong may not really understand Qin Xiang, but Qin Xiang knows Cui Hong well enough to know Cui Hong's cunning mind very well.
Just like now, Qin Xiang had a bad feeling. Thinking of Cui Hong, Qin Xiang was almost certain that Cui Hong would not let this go. Regardless of whether she planned to report this to Wang Junsheng or not, Cui Hong probably would not let her off easily.
But it doesn't matter. She has bodyguards. If anyone wants to plot against her, they can just take advantage of her when she goes out in the morning or evening. It's hard to say who will be unlucky.
The storefronts opened late that morning, so Qin Xiang headed straight to the wholesale market, which was also bustling with activity. Individual businesses from the capital and surrounding counties and cities were rushing in early to buy wholesale goods. Qin Xiang's shop stood out, and the bustling scene inside could be seen from the entrance. The other shops were no less bustling, with a huge crowd. The atmosphere was much better than the night markets in Guangzhou, where most of the goods were laid out on the ground.
Qin Xiang thought of Yiwu. Why not go to Yiwu to buy a batch of goods and then start a small commodity wholesale business?
The items are small, inexpensive, and require less capital. Since the selection of men's clothing and sportswear is limited, they can occupy half of the store, while the other side is used for small commodity wholesale.
Qin Xiang took a walk around the wholesale city and found that there were also many people doing small commodity wholesale. After estimating the cost and profit, Qin Xiang shook his head and gave up. Forget it, I won’t bother with this anymore. I’d better specialize in clothing. However, I can ask Long Yuqiang to buy a batch of small commodities specifically for giving to self-employed individuals to match their clothes.
Back at the front room, they worked together, eating breakfast in batches until noon. When there were no more people around, Qin Xiang called Zhao Ping out, "I ran into an acquaintance today, and I have a bad feeling about it. Brother Zhao, I'll have to pick me up for the next few days."
Zhao Ping frowned, "Who?"
Seeing that he was so nervous, Qin Xiang smiled and said, "It's the woman my ex-husband cheated with. You should still remember that when we were in the provincial capital, she went to the newspaper to expose me. Now they are in the provincial capital, and I don't know how they got together with a man. I'm worried that she will do something bad to me."
This kind of thing is not uncommon. Now that I think about it, Cui Hong's divorce from the wealthy man in her previous life might have been due to her infidelity. This woman is just like that, selfish and self-centered, wanting nothing more than to be pampered and have a good life. Now that the Cui family's elderly couple has arrived, life for the four of them is bound to be tight. Wang Junsheng is used to being bossy, so he might as well force Cui Hong to work.
Cui Hong has never worked since she was a child. She has no education and no ability. Apart from her body, she really can't think of what Cui Hong can sell.
Cui Hong had no choice but to let Wang Junsheng do whatever he wanted. She was happy to see him cuckolded, but if he had any ideas about her, that would be absolutely unacceptable.
Zhao Ping nodded upon hearing this, "Okay, tell me when you're coming over so I can pick you up in advance."
Qin Xiang shook her head. "Just send me back tonight. I'll go to Yangcheng to buy some supplies this afternoon. I'm not sure if I'll be here before the New Year. I have an exam coming up soon, so I don't think I'll be here often. I'll definitely be with the other people in the dormitory at other times, so don't worry."
After the explanation, Qin Xiang was still worried and asked if the store could handle the job. Zhao Ping was a sincere man and answered, "The newcomers have already gotten the hang of it. Uncle Qin occasionally comes over to help me pack the goods. There are fewer people over at Li Zhiguo's place."
Qin Xiang understood, thought for a moment, and said, "I'll take you to that small courtyard. If you have time, keep an eye on it. It's best to find out the time they're dating, including the man's real address. Don't let anyone get caught."
Zhao Ping nodded, "Okay."
"Let's find out first. I want to see what she can come up with." Qin Xiang felt much more relieved after explaining it to Zhao Ping.
After lunch, Qin Xiang called Guan Zhibin. Guan Zhibin was very happy when he received the call. It had only been ten days since the last purchase, and the quantity of purchases was getting bigger and bigger. Both he and his cousin were very happy.
Moreover, my cousin said that the clothes designed by Qin Xiang are very popular in the factory, and many customers who purchase goods specifically ask for Qin Xiang's designs.
It's a pity that Qin Xiang designs very few, only two pieces a month. If Qin Xiang wasn't in college, Guan Zhihong really wanted to poach her.
Guan Zhibin smiled and said, "Boss Qin, congratulations on your prosperity."
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Brother Guan, congratulations on your prosperity too. How's your business been lately?"
Qin Xiang exchanged pleasantries with Guan Zhibin before taking out her own list and placing an order with him. Besides the items she wanted, Guan Zhibin also mentioned some popular sweater styles.
There are not as many kinds of clothes in winter as in summer, and there are only a few types and styles.
After the two of them have checked, Guan Zhibin will take it to the factory to place an order, and then tell Qin Xiang the amount of payment required, and Qin Xiang will then transfer the deposit for the purchase price.
Because the two parties have been cooperating for a long time, Guan Zhihong also applied for a later payment of the payment for the goods. Qin Xiang can temporarily owe the bank money without making it difficult for Guan Zhihong. At most, she will pay the balance in a month.
Guan Zhibin was efficient and called her at the factory in less than two hours. Qin Xiang then made the payment as requested and they prepared to ship the goods.
Go back and sort out the types and quantities of goods to be purchased this time, and teach Zhao Ping about them. "If you are too busy, call Li Zhiguo to help."
She was also busy today. Not only did she have to place orders but she also had to do the accounting. After doing the calculations, Qin Xiang couldn't help but get excited.
In addition to the payment for this order, there is still a lot left, which is real profit.
Qin Xiang thought for a moment and said to Zhao Ping, "Tomorrow I'll go buy two tricycles from Mi Hongjun and hire a delivery worker. From now on, I'll deliver for free within a five-kilometer radius."
She wanted to buy a truck directly, but at that time, trucks were not available just because you had money, so it could only temporarily solve the current problem.
Zhao Ping agreed, and Qin Xiang felt very happy.
What else can you do with money?
Buy a house.
Unfortunately, Qin Xiang didn't have much time, so he could only hand over the matter to Mi Hongjun. "It's best to find a courtyard house nearby. We don't require a large size, one or two entrances are fine. As long as the price is right, we'll buy it."
Mi Hongjun's blood boiled when he heard this. "Sister, you're buying another house? Why are you buying so many?"
In fact, Mi Hongjun's idea is quite simple. Qin Xiang has already bought a house once and has a place to live, so why buy so many?
Qin Xiang said meaningfully, "Xiaomi, is there still a time when this person complains about not having enough houses? Think about it, everyone's living conditions are better now. After improving their food and clothing, what should they improve next? Food, clothing, housing, transportation, housing. And haven't you heard that the government is also building some commercial housing now? Although there are not many, they are gradually appearing. It's just that it's difficult for us individual business owners to buy. When it comes to housing, it's better to buy it sooner rather than later. Keeping it gives you confidence, don't you understand?"
Mi Hongjun didn't quite understand.
Qin Xiang sighed, "Then just be in chaos for now and worry about this matter. Also, save money and buy a house when you find a suitable one. If it's not enough, I'll add to it for you."
Although she has many brothers and sisters, she is the youngest, so Qin Xiang really treats Mi Hongjun as her own brother.
Mi Hongjun chuckled and said that if he bought a house, it must be for the purpose of getting married in the future.
He nodded and said, "Okay, but I want to buy a building."
Qin Xiang couldn't really say why it was bad. Nowadays, everyone likes apartments. While courtyard houses are nice, they're cold in the winter. Apartments, on the other hand, are different. While they might be a bit crowded, they have heating and are warm. They're just not that easy to find. "Okay, you decide. If you find one that's suitable, we can each get one and be neighbors."
Mi Hongjun nodded hurriedly, "Okay."
After explaining everything, Qin Xiang prepared to go back, as Zhao Ping had to go to bed early in the evening.
Qin Xiang deliberately took the same route she took this morning, and unexpectedly saw Cui Hong coming again. Seeing her coming, she opened the door and came out, smiling, "Qin Xiang."
Qin Xiang looked back and saw the man through the gate that was not closed tightly, his eyes falling on her.
This feeling was very bad. Qin Xiang frowned slightly and looked at Cui Hong with disgust. "What's the matter?"
Cui Hong's eyes fell on Zhao Ping, with a look of disgust on her face, "Who is this? Is she your girlfriend?"
Qin Xiang looked at her indifferently, "What does it have to do with you?"
"It doesn't matter, I just think your taste is not that good." Cui Hong pursed her lips and smiled, "You actually like such a reckless man."
Qin Xiang: "Nothing like you, you only like married men."
Cui Hong's smile faltered at this, and tears began to flow. "Qin Xiang, I know you misunderstood me, but I have my reasons. Can I treat you to a meal? Here, I'll apologize to you. Believe it or not, in my heart you will always be my best friend."
Cui Hong is good at acting. Her tears come easily. Her face looks so pitiful and lovable when she cries.
If a man stood here, his legs would probably go weak, but she was cold-hearted. If she had known that Cui Hong had bad intentions, it would have been strange for her to agree.
Qin Xiang understood her concerns and said disdainfully, "Cui Hong, who you get involved with is none of my business, and you shouldn't involve me in anything. I don't want to get involved with someone like you either. To put it nicely, we have no friendship, and to put it bluntly, you don't deserve to waste my time."
After saying that, Qin Xiang no longer paid any attention to Cui Hong and turned around and left.
Zhao Ping followed her one meter behind.
When they arrived at the school gate, Qin Xiang asked, "Remember, it's those two people just now. It seems my worry was not unnecessary. For the next few days, hand over the work to others and just keep an eye on these two."
Zhao Ping had been in the army for many years and had also done reconnaissance, so it wasn't a difficult task for him. "Okay, don't worry, just leave it to me."
Qin Xiang smiled and nodded. "I trust you to do the job. After you find out the truth, you can find a way to tell the man's wife. Let's just watch the show."
Qin Xiang had never hidden her affairs from others, so Zhao Ping naturally knew Cui Hong's position. He asked puzzledly, "Should I tell Wang Junsheng?"
"What to tell him." Qin Xiang said with a smile on her face, "They are a couple, they are so well-matched. What if Wang Junsheng finds out and wants a divorce? Let them lock it up."
Zhao Ping thought so too, so he sent Qin Xiang to school and turned around to keep an eye on the courtyard.
And Zhao Ping did not lack a plan. He knocked on the doors of the two houses on the left and right. An elderly couple lived in the house on the east. Zhao Ping spent ten yuan to rent a house next to the courtyard and just set his sights on them.
This was not difficult at all. Cui Hong had a bad heart, but she had failed to deceive Qin Xiang the first time and was scolded by Sun Qiang. Seeing that Sun Qiang had really seen Qin Xiang's face and became interested, Cui Hong was anxious and angry, and had to coax Sun Qiang with sweet words.
Zhao Ping was listening to the noise in the room next door, his heart calm and without any ripples.
The next morning, Zhao Ping went to pick up Qin Xiang. On the way, he roughly told her what happened last night. "That man didn't leave last night. I'll keep an eye on him today. There's always a time to go back."
Qin Xiang nodded, "Let's check the man's background first, so that no one can suspect us when we do it."
Zhao Ping nodded, "I know."
Although Qin Xiang has now established a firm foothold in the capital, he is still not as good as some big bosses. They have backers, but they don't, so they have to think twice before doing anything.
Qin Xiang still had classes to attend, so she paid the money and went back.
Zhao Ping continued to stare, but he didn't expect that these two could be so noisy. They didn't come out all night. It was not until noon that noise came from the yard next door. Zhao Ping put his ear to the wall and actually heard some words.
The more I listened, the darker my face became.
His boss was right. This woman was a vicious woman. In order to prevent Qin Xiang from exposing the matter, she actually wanted to drag his boss into the water. She was really vicious.
The two of them had a fight in the middle of the day before Cui Hong came out of the yard, twisting her waist and walking away. Sun Qiang also packed up and left in a respectable manner.
What Zhao Ping didn't expect was that Sun Qiang had a car, and even if Zhao Ping walked as fast as he could, he couldn't catch up with the car.
He lost track for a moment.
Zhao Ping was a little annoyed, but he didn't dare to let his guard down.
The elderly couple who rented the house accidentally remarked, "That grandson of Mrs. Sun next door is too shameless. He's actually messing around in the house left by his own mother. That woman looks like a little devil. She's been making a fuss all night, isn't she afraid that the tigress in his family will come looking for him?"
Zhao Ping naturally turned the conversation to Sun Qiang. The old man and the old woman, who rarely found someone to talk to, started talking about Sun Qiang in a burst of words.
It's true that Sun Qiang is from the capital, but his father died a long time ago. He was raised by a widow. Although Sun Qiang doesn't look ordinary, he is sweet-talking and has some skills. So he became the son-in-law of the Qian family and got a job in the government with the help of the Qian family. A few years ago, Sun Qiang saw that self-employed people were doing very well outside, so he decided to stop working and start a self-employed business with his father-in-law. What puzzled everyone was that his father-in-law's family not only supported him, but also used all their assets to support his business.
Sun Qiang is really amazing. After working hard for a few years, he has actually developed this business.
He was capable and had the support of his father-in-law, so his business was flourishing. People said Sun Qiang was lucky. Although he was a son-in-law, he was also a capable man. Seeing that Sun Qiang was on the rise, his father-in-law asked his youngest son to change his surname to Sun, so that he could continue the Sun family line.
But unexpectedly, Sun Qiang, who appeared to be deeply in love in front of others, was actually having an affair with the nanny behind her back. The two of them were hanging out here every few days, and several families saw them.
Especially when they were doing it at night, the woman's gentle voice made even an old lady like her blush.
After saying this, the old man and the old woman talked about other sons in the neighborhood who behaved like unkind people.
Zhao Ping was surprised and was also wondering how to deal with this matter.
I learned indirectly that Sun Qiang and Cui Hong didn't come here to date every day, but basically came once every other day a week. They rarely stayed overnight, did their business in the afternoon, and then left.
Zhao Ping got the information but he also needed to find the Qian family's address. But how could he catch up with Sun Qiang?
Calculating the time, he knew that the two would not come today, so Zhao Ping went to the store to work, but met Meng Huaiqing at the door.
Meng Huaiqing politely greeted Zhao Ping and casually asked, "Is Qin Xiang coming over today?"
Zhao Ping said, "She probably won't be out lately. She's busy preparing for the exam."
He thought about the matter between Qin Xiang and Meng Huaiqing. Perhaps he could ask Meng Huaiqing for help, so he asked, "Mr. Meng, I have something I would like to ask you for help with. I wonder if it would be convenient for you."
Meng Huaiqing was surprised, "Yes."
The two of them didn't walk far. They were nearby. Zhao Ping told Meng Huaiqing everything about Qin Xiang's guesses and arrangements, as well as what he heard yesterday at noon.
Others couldn't see it, but Zhao Ping could see clearly that even if Qin Xiang and Meng Huaiqing hadn't confirmed their relationship, it was definitely not ordinary. He had no other choice but to rely on Meng Huaiqing.
After hearing this, Meng Huaiqing's face showed no extra expression, but people who knew him well could see the anger surging in his eyes.
"I understand." Meng Huaiqing curled his lips and said, "I will send someone to guard the entrance of the alley. Once he leaves, I will send someone to follow up and investigate. Don't get involved in this matter. You live nearby, and it will be troublesome if you are discovered."
Zhao Ping didn't expect Meng Huaiqing to not let him participate, so he was a little hesitant, wondering if he would act on his own.
Perhaps seeing his worry, Meng Huaiqing said, "Don't worry too much. I will tell Qin Xiang about this. She won't blame you."
Zhao Ping nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Meng."
"You're welcome. Go ahead and do your work." Meng Huaiqing said as he got into the car, the smile on his face fading.
He knew about the time when Qin Xiang was plotted against in the provincial capital, but Qin Xiang handled it well, so he didn't care about it later. Unexpectedly, he would run into it again in the capital, and he was sticking to it like a cowhide plaster.
Meng Huaiqing looked at Assistant Liu who was driving and said, "Investigate that Sun Qiang. If you strike the enemy, you must kill him in one blow. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if he makes a comeback."
Assistant Liu used to not care about Meng Huaiqing's private affairs, but Miao Sheng was sent back to Gangcheng, so Assistant Liu had to take on the job of driver as well. Now he even had to do things to vent Qin Xiang's anger.
However, Assistant Liu was significantly different from Miao Sheng. He only served Meng Huaiqing and never contradicted Meng Huaiqing's orders. He strictly followed the code of conduct of saying less and making fewer mistakes.
After Meng Huaiqing finished his instructions, he said, "Go to Tsinghua University."
"Okay, boss."
The car stopped at the west gate of Tsinghua University. Meng Huaiqing got out, registered at the gate, and went directly to Qin Xiang's teaching building.
There are only a few buildings where Qin Xiang often takes classes, and Meng Huaiqing really doesn't know which one it is.
But he would ask.
He is a celebrity in school, and no one will refuse to talk to him whenever he opens his mouth.
If he hadn't politely refused, the other party would have taken the initiative to take him there.
Meng Huaiqing is just like that. He looks gentle and polite, and speaks in a way that makes people feel like spring breeze. However, there is also a sense of alienation in his words and deeds, and few people dare to approach him.
Everyone who saw him at school was surprised and didn't understand why Meng Huaiqing appeared on campus.
Meng Huaiqing ran straight to the teaching building without looking around. It happened to be school time and the students in the teaching building rushed out.
Meng Huaiqing was standing under a tree not far away. A snow-white coat made him look taller and more youthful.
There were many people watching, but almost no one dared to come forward and say hello.
At this time, Fu Yunmei and Bei Nannan came out of the building and heard others exclaiming that Meng Huaiqing had arrived.
Fu Yunmei's heart began to beat as she thought of Meng Huaiqing's identity. Bei Nannan frowned and said, "I always feel like I've seen Mr. Meng somewhere."
Fu Yunmei scoffed inwardly, but said softly, "Didn't he give a speech at the New Year's Eve party a few days ago?"
"But I always feel like I've seen it before." Bei Nannan has been studying so hard lately that she almost went crazy. She thought about it for a long time but couldn't remember where she had seen it.
When he turned around, he found that Fu Yunmei was gone. When he looked up, he saw Fu Yunmei running straight towards Meng Huaiqing.
There were a lot of people around, but a vacuum zone formed around Meng Huaiqing.
It’s not that I don’t want to go up and say hello, it’s that I don’t dare. I always feel that there is too big a gap between me and Meng Huaiqing, and I don’t dare to talk to such a big shot.
At this time, Fu Yunmei came over, her face flushed, "Mr. Meng."
She lowered her head slightly, revealing a section of her snow-white neck. She reached out and lifted the hair by her ears, showing her most beautiful side to Meng Huaiqing.
Qin Xiang and her roommate happened to see this scene when they came down from upstairs.
Without talking about anything else, just looking at the men and women, it is really pleasing to the eye.
I just feel a little unhappy.
