Chapter 138
"What's wrong?" Guan Yuping, who was standing next to her, asked when she saw her stop. Seeing Qin Xiang looking downstairs, she leaned over and couldn't help but frown. "What is Fu Yunmei doing?"
To be honest, many people saw this scene.
But the people in Qin Xiang's dormitory recently realized that there was something unusual about the relationship between Qin Xiang and Meng Huaiqing.
Guan Yuping thought about He Chenghua's humiliation at Qin Xiang's hands and felt that he deserved it. He Chenghua had good qualities, but he was far inferior to Meng Huaiqing. Moreover, Meng Huaiqing's parents were not in mainland China, and Qin Xiang had few opportunities to meet them. He Chenghua's parents and relatives were all local. If they knew that He Chenghua was with a divorced person, it would be a disaster.
From a humane perspective, she should stand with He Chenghua, but in her heart she wanted to consider Qin Xiang.
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "It's okay, let's go."
Downstairs, Meng Huaiqing frowned slightly and looked at the woman in front of him, "You're blocking the light."
Fu Yunmei was startled, her smile faltering. She casually raised her head and said shyly, "Hello, Mr. Meng. I'm Fu Yunmei, a freshman majoring in fashion design."
Meng Huaiqing took a few steps back and asked, "Who are you and what does it have to do with me?"
He was being blunt, and Fu Yunmei felt a little aggrieved. She knew many people were watching, and she was determined to establish some connection. She said softly, "Your speech on New Year's Day was brilliant. I was deeply inspired by it, but I have a few questions. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to ask."
She looked at Meng Huaiqing with anticipation, feeling a wave of anxiety and nervousness. There had been a lot of rumors about him at school lately. Knowing he was a big boss in Gangcheng, and so young and handsome, made Fu Yunmei's heart beat wildly. If she could hook up with such a man, she wouldn't have to worry about not achieving success in the future. Relying on a job assigned after graduation would take years to achieve anything. If she were with Meng Huaiqing, her future would be smooth sailing.
The more Fu Yunmei thought about it, the more beautiful she seemed, and the more eager and shy her eyes became.
But Meng Huaiqing didn't even answer her directly, and just walked past her.
Fu Yunmei turned around in surprise and saw Meng Huaiqing walking up to Qin Xiang with a smile on his face.
There were too many people watching the fun around, and Fu Yunmei seemed to have heard the mocking voices of others, as if they were laughing at her for being ignorant and embarrassing.
Her face flushed as she looked at the two people who were already talking. There was no impatience or coldness on Meng Huaiqing's face. His face was full of smiles, which made people feel like spring breeze and easily formed a good impression.
When people around her laughed at her, she felt that they were making fun of her. Even when Qin Xiang laughed, she found it glaring.
"Oh, I remember now." Bei Nannan shouted, "I've met Mr. Meng before. He has known Qin Xiang for a long time. Those magazines I mentioned were given to Qin Xiang by Mr. Meng."
Fu Yunmei's head was buzzing, and she looked at Bei Nannan and thought she was a fool.
The people in their profession around them had already asked Bei Nannan about it, but they didn't expect that the idiot Bei Nannan would actually talk about it, and even brought up the magazine incident again.
Fu Yunmei pulled her and said, "Stop talking."
But how could Bei Nannan not speak since she had finally become the focus of the crowd? She started to talk about the time when the two men came to see Qin Xiang.
While everyone was talking excitedly here, Qin Xiang also met up with Meng Huaiqing over there.
Guan Yuping and the others smiled and said, "Shall we leave first?"
Qin Xiang couldn't help laughing when she saw their teasing expressions, "I'll bring you some delicious food when I get back."
Several people covered their mouths and laughed as they walked away.
It’s true that Qin Xiang and Meng Huaiqing look like a perfect match standing together. The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful. They are a perfect match and a pleasure to look at.
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Why are you here?"
"I just finished my work and have some free time. I didn't see you at the store. Zhao Ping said you've been studying lately and haven't been leaving the house, so I came over to offer my condolences." Meng Huaiqing glanced at the people watching the excitement and said helplessly, "This isn't a place to talk. Let's have dinner together?"
Qin Xiang smiled, "That's good."
Meng Huaiqing felt cheerful and said, "Just consider it as a token of consolation to those who have worked so hard to prepare for the exam."
The two of them walked out of the school together as they talked. Fu Yunmei stood there gritting her teeth, but she still had an awkward smile on her face. "I didn't expect Mr. Meng to come to see Qin Xiang. If I had known he was here to see Qin Xiang, I wouldn't have gone over to talk to him."
She sighed again and said in confusion, "I just didn't expect Qin Xiang to have known Mr. Meng before. We are all professionals, and we haven't heard of this. No wonder Nan Nan said that Qin Xiang had fashion information from Hong Kong City. It seems that we are not worthy of seeing it."
These words made people feel that Qin Xiang obviously had something good but was reluctant to show it to them.
Everyone felt a little uneasy. The squad leader happened to be there and hesitated for a moment before saying, "There's no need for them to tell us who they know, right? Can we just brazenly say we know so-and-so?"
"That's right."
Others also responded.
Fu Yunmei bit her lip, her face filled with embarrassment. "Squad leader, you misunderstood me. Forget about the others, but Mr. Meng is someone we admire. Who doesn't want to get to know someone they admire? But she didn't even bother introducing us or sharing her experiences with us. Qin Xiang even misunderstood Nan Nan because of this."
Hearing this, Guan Yuping sneered directly, "Fu Yunmei, you are so shameless. Just because someone knows Mr. Meng, they have to introduce him to you. Introducing him to you so that you can shamelessly get close to him? You have brought shame to our Tsinghua University. You just saw a capable big boss and got close to him. He ignored you, but you are still here to ruin his reputation. Why didn't you say anything when Qin Xiang and Mr. Meng were here just now? Now you show off your ability. Let everyone hear it, you are so jealous, you are just saying that you are jealous of Qin Xiang and you are going crazy."
After Guan Yuping finished speaking, the others couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.
The main reason is that the purpose of Fu Yunmei's behavior just now was too obvious.
We are not fools. If we can't see Fu Yunmei's purpose, then we are really stupid.
The monitor, a rather serious man, frowned at her and said, "Fu Yunmei, it's not nice to talk bad about people behind their backs. If people knew, they'd think our Tsinghua University was full of gossips. Mr. Meng just donated a library to the school, and now students are talking about him and his friends behind their backs. That's quite immoral."
"The squad leader is right. We can't be such uncultured people."
"Fu Yunmei, we only know that you envy Qin Xiang, but you can't eat in such an ugly way."
For a moment, it became a criticism meeting for Fu Yunmei.
Fu Yunmei felt wronged and uncomfortable, and Bei Nannan said unhappily, "But we are all in the same major. Qin Xiang is selfish for hiding her good knowledge and not sharing it. She just wants to get a high score so that she can surpass us."
Guan Yuping sneered, "Your remarks are quite amusing. The things belong to others. If they want to share, they can share. If they don't want to share, they don't have to."
"You're just being easy to say, because she shared it with you."
Guan Yuping nodded, "Yes, she shared it with us."
Ding Xiang looked at Bei Nan Nan disapprovingly and said, "Bei Nan Nan, if you say you have no conscience, I have to say something about you. When you were in our dormitory, what didn't Qin Xiang share with you? She did have some magazines, and it's true that Mr. Meng brought them here, but Qin Xiang couldn't confirm whether these things would be accepted by everyone, so she decided to circulate them in the dormitory first. If you say that people should be selfless, then I'm poor and I have no money, but you have money, so can you share it with me?"
Bei Nannan blurted out, "Why?"
Ding Xiang said slowly, "You have money but you don't want to share it with me. How can you be so selfish? You don't even care about your classmates. Are you just jealous that I can't afford to buy materials and supplies after sharing your money? Are you afraid that I'll do better than you in the exam?"
Bei Nannan glared, "You! This is different."
"What's the difference? They're all the same. Whoever owns something gets to decide. Sharing with you is a favor, not sharing is my duty. Not everyone is like you, taking advantage and then blaming others for it."
This made the people around agree.
The monitor said, "Fu Yunmei, Bei Nannan, if you continue to slander others behind their backs, I will have no choice but to go find the counselor."
Fu Yunmei cried in grievance, "I really didn't."
Unfortunately, her tears are worthless. We are not fools. We all know who these two are. How could we be fooled?
"Let's go. I'm free now. I have classes tonight."
Everyone left, and Meilin gave Dingxiang a thumbs up, "You're really good."
Ding Xiang smiled and said, "I just can't stand them slandering Qin Xiang like that." She looked at her roommates and asked, "If I hadn't said anything just now, wouldn't you have said it?"
It's just that she was the first to say it. If she hadn't said it, no one else would have let these two idiots ruin Qin Xiang's reputation.
Zhao Wenna laughed, "I was confused by what you said just now. I didn't expect that you not only sing well, but also have a great mouth."
Dingxiang became famous with a song on New Year's Day. Many people asked about Dingxiang, and now she has joined the school student union's arts department.
Ding Xiang smiled and said, "I just saw you guys were supporting me."
Guan Yuping said, "Gone, gone, starved to death."
On the other hand, Qin Xiang and Meng Huaiqing didn't know that so many things happened in the school after they left. They went out of the school to eat, and naturally went to eat hot pot according to Qin Xiang's suggestion.
The last time I ate hotpot is still vivid in my mind, and it wasn’t a good memory at all.
Fortunately, I didn't meet He Chenghua during this period. According to the news Guan Yuping brought back after returning home, it seems that he was out on business and might not be back during the New Year.
Qin Xiang was also relieved.
"What are you thinking about?"
Meng Huaiqing raised his hand and tapped Qin Xiang's forehead.
Qin Xiang glared, "Meng Huaiqing."
"Yeah." Meng Huaiqing smiled with his eyes, being unspeakably gentle.
Qin Xiang looked away, a little worried that she would fall into Meng Huaiqing's gentle embrace. She said fiercely, "Don't touch me."
Meng Huaiqing nodded, "Okay."
Qin Xiang looked away and said, "Eat, eat."
It is suitable to eat hot pot in cold weather, which will make you feel comfortable all over.
She was a little afraid to look Meng Huaiqing in the eye, for she was really afraid that she would accidentally drown in those gentle eyes.
Meng Huaiqing noticed her change and felt much better. He asked her about some business matters and gave Qin Xiang some suggestions.
Finally, Meng Huaiqing said, "Have you ever thought about finding someone to invest in your own brand? Getting products from others or putting your lifeline in their hands is not stable."
Qin Xiang nodded when he heard this. "Of course I know this problem. But the reality is that I don't have enough funds. And I'm still studying, so I don't have that much time. I can't eat a big fat man in one bite, so I'd rather take it step by step."
In an era where even a pig can take off if it stands in the right place, although she was anxious, she could not be blind. She graduated in 1989, and during the entire 1990s, she could accumulate enough capital to create her own thing in less than two or three years.
After hearing this, Meng Huaiqing knew that she had something in mind, so he said no more.
Although he was more experienced in doing business, he knew that Qin Xiang preferred to do things on her own. If Qin Xiang really wanted to take a shortcut, she wouldn't have to work hard at all. Just tell him and he would give her a lot of money to do it.
He knew Qin Xiang wouldn't do that, and he wouldn't pretend to be generous in an annoying way.
There is no need. Qin Xiang is different from mainland women. She has her own opinions and ideas. If he gets overly involved, the last incident with Miao Sheng will be a lesson for him.
Meng Huaiqing pushed the beef roll in front of Qin Xiang and said, "Try this, it's quite tender."
Qin Xiang nodded and rinsed it, then dipped it in the sauce. It tasted really good.
It was not until after dinner that Meng Huaiqing told him about Zhao Ping's visit. "I'm sorry, I made the decision to let my bodyguard take over this matter."
Qin Xiang was not an unreasonable person. Meng Huaiqing explained the reason for doing this, and Qin Xiang nodded. "Thank you very much. It's my fault for not considering it carefully."
Just like He Chenghua said, anyone who can gain a foothold in the capital requires some ability and more or less some background. Zhao Ping only has two legs, so it is difficult for him to track and investigate that man.
But it was different when Meng Huaiqing helped. His people had no connection to this place and only served Meng Huaiqing. Even if that man and Cui Hong suspected something afterwards, they couldn't blame Meng Huaiqing. Who would dare to believe that a Hong Kong businessman would make such a big fuss about an insignificant person?
Meng Huaiqing shook his head slightly, somewhat dissatisfied, and said, "You should have told me in time if there was such a thing."
Seeing Qin Xiang looking at him with an inexplicable expression, Meng Huaiqing smiled, "We are good friends, aren't we?"
His eyes were serious, which made Qin Xiang couldn't help laughing. "I originally thought we seemed closer, but since Mr. Meng said we are good friends, then we are good friends."
The expression on Meng Huaiqing's face was visibly cracked, and regret flashed across his face. He regretted it in time, "There's no need to distinguish between our relationship. Bullying you is bullying me. Of course, I won't let it go."
Qin Xiang burst out laughing, "So Boss Meng is also capricious?"
Meng Huaiqing raised his eyebrows and said shamelessly, "In order to pursue the person you like, it doesn't matter if you are fickle or shameless. Achieving your goal is the most important thing. Don't you agree?"
Qin Xiang didn't dare to respond. She glanced outside and said, "It's getting late. I have to go back to study."
Meng Huaiqing didn't insist and stood up and said, "I'll take you home."
Qin Xiang did not refuse. The two walked side by side to the school. Suddenly, the north wind howled. Qin Xiang looked up at the sky and saw snowflakes falling. "It's snowing."
"It's not cold when it snows, but when it melts." Meng Huaiqing glanced at Qin Xiang and wanted to take off his own scarf and put it on her, but he didn't dare. After walking for a while until they reached the school, Qin Xiang said, "In order not to cause a sensation, I think it's better to just send it here."
Meng Huaiqing was puzzled. "It's dark, and others can't see clearly."
"There are many people with good eyesight." Qin Xiang waved her hand, "See you later."
Meng Huaiqing stood there, waiting for the man to completely disappear before turning around. The car had already stopped not far away. Meng Huaiqing was in a good mood. After getting in the car, he said to Assistant Liu, "You have a good eye. Double your bonus."
Assistant Liu: "Thank you, boss."
Then Meng Huaiqing added, "Resolve the matter Zhao Ping mentioned as soon as possible. I don't want her to be in any danger."
Assistant Liu: "Okay, boss."
Qin Xiang entered the school and walked towards the dormitory building with ease. When she arrived at the dormitory building, she suddenly saw a familiar figure, and her good mood disappeared.
"Xiangxiang."
Cui Hong was wearing a navy blue woolen coat and a bright red scarf. Her face was red from the cold. When she saw Qin Xiang, she walked over with a look of joy.
Qin Xiang raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that Cui Hong would come to her right after she heard about the plan behind Cui Hong and that man. Was she so impatient?
Seeing her approaching, Qin Xiang took two steps to the side, "Stay away from me."
Cui Hong stopped, looking aggrieved. "Xiangxiang, I know you hate me, and I don't want to explain. It's true that Junsheng and I made a mistake, but in my heart you will always be my best friend. I always remember how good you have been to me over the years, and I never dare to forget it. If you hadn't protected me when I was a child, I might have been abused by little hooligans long ago."
Cui Hong even shed two tears when she was talking about the exciting part. She said pitifully, "I ran into Junsheng by chance. At that time, you and he were having a divorce and a quarrel. I thought that after all, you were husband and wife, so I tried to persuade and comfort him, hoping that he could live a good life. But for some reason, he hugged me and said that he had liked me for a long time. I resisted, but it was no use. You know, I am the softest person. I was not valued since I was a child, so I was deceived by his sweet words."
She spoke with such sincerity that Qin Xiang just wanted to laugh. She said with a smile, "Keep making it up."
Cui Hong's eyes were red, and she bit her lip and said, "I know you blame me for what I did in the summer, but that was Junsheng who did it better than me, and I can't do anything about it. Now I'm out because he forced me to come out to make money to pay for Cui Lianhua's medical treatment. Otherwise, how could I be with Sun Qiang when he's like that? Believe it or not, Sun Qiang and I have nothing to do. I just want to learn how to do business from him. I see that you make money in business, so I want to learn too. Qin Xiang, you are a considerate person, you will definitely not tell Wang Junsheng, right?"
