Chapter 162
As the owner of several stores, Qin Xiang should be calm, but every time this happens she can't help but get excited.
This is not surprising. I have always wanted to do a good job in my career and make a lot of money in this life. Now that the new store has opened, it means that I am one step closer to becoming rich.
It is indeed something to be happy about.
The location of this store in Jinshi is very good. It is located 100 meters away from the department store in the city center and next to a Labor Square. The location is similar to that of the provincial capital. There are a lot of people on weekends.
The bus station is not far from here, about ten minutes' walk away. From the square, you can see several high-legged flower baskets in front of a store not far away, and an arch made of balloons at the door. Two shop assistants are warmly greeting customers at the door. From this angle, it can be seen that quite a few people are walking into the store.
Ding Xiang was a little excited, "There are fewer people here than in the capital last year."
Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the flow of people. She was confident that as long as customers went in, they would not come out empty-handed.
In the future, as people become better off, some people will become overweight and have difficulty finding clothes that fit them. This is almost nonexistent these days, so clothes are generally sold in two sizes: large and small, and the difference isn't that big, so most people can fit into them.
But the others were also a little nervous. Zhao Wenna asked, "Do you think anyone will like the dress I designed?"
The dress Zhao Wenna made was a cheongsam-style dress. For Qin Xiang's height, it would be about knee-high, and a little lower would be at the calf.
The outside is a layer of light blue gauze fabric, and the inside is a white lining, which will highlight your skin tone and temperament when worn.
Qin Xiang really likes this one. She wore it today. She pointed at the clothes on her body and said, "Do you think if I stand there, will customers buy it?"
Guan Yuping smiled, "I guess we'll have to ask the salesperson for the same item."
This gave Zhao Wenna some confidence. She looked at the others and found that except for Qin Xiang who was wearing clothes designed by her, everyone else was wearing clothes designed by themselves.
She was a young girl in her twenties, and she dressed up specially before going out, making her look even more youthful and beautiful.
"Walking."
Six girls wearing beautiful clothes were walking on the street, attracting a lot of attention. Seeing them heading towards the newly opened clothing store, many people followed them unconsciously.
When they reached the door, the clerk saw Qin Xiang coming over and said with a smile, "Hello, boss."
Qin Xiang nodded and led people in. As soon as she entered, she was shocked by the people in the store. There were quite a lot of them.
This storefront is about 40 square meters. Except for the cashier counter and two fitting rooms, the rest of the area is filled with the store's clothes. In addition to the clothes hanging on the wall and on the models, there are also some hanging on the racks.
There are so many people in the store now that there are queues outside the two fitting rooms. Seeing that there are too many people, Mi Hongjun is temporarily setting up a fitting room to share the pressure of trying on clothes.
The other two shop assistants were also busy serving customers, helping them match clothes or looking for clothes.
As soon as Qin Xiang and the others came in, someone noticed the dress she was wearing. Someone exclaimed, "I think I saw this skirt just now. I didn't expect it to be so beautiful."
This person shouted, and other people looked over and were immediately amazed. Then some people asked the salesperson to try on the same style, and there were quite a few people there.
Qin Xiang smiled, took another set of clothes and went to the back to change, and came out to try them on again.
The samples worn by the other people also received positive reviews.
Zhao Wenna said excitedly, "Qin Xiang, I'm so excited now. I finally feel that I made the right decision to study this major."
Qin Xiang was ashamed.
There were six people in their dormitory, and only Qin Xiang had signed up because she liked this major. The others either filled out their applications carelessly or were transferred in. Zhao Wenna had originally applied for another major, but was not accepted and was transferred to the Fashion Design major.
When we first started taking classes, several of us in the dormitory were very unconfident. We had no basic knowledge and no ability, and it was difficult for us to attend classes. We also had many problems when we were designing for the final design last semester, but now we can design and make clothes.
How to be unhappy.
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "You have always been very talented. Don't think too much. We may be able to go to the world in the future."
Qin Xiang had to admit that while some people were born with talent, even though they were both studying fashion design, Zhao Wenna had a keen eye for color and improved rapidly. This was different from hers. She had achieved her current Qin Xiang status through years of study and hard work in a previous life, while Zhao Wenna's was a product of acquired learning.
The shop opens at 10 a.m. and stays open until 10 p.m. Qin Xiang and her classmates didn't have classes the next day, so they simply stayed until the shop closed at 10 p.m.
Mi Hongjun's eyes were as bright as two light bulbs. He was holding a notebook and a computer, calculating today's cash flow.
After finishing the calculation, he excitedly said to Qin Xiang, "Sister, our sales today are even better than last year in the capital. The people in Jinshi have strong purchasing power."
Seeing his excitement, Qin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You've been with me for so many openings, why are you so excited?"
But I have to say that the sales volume is really good, and others may not believe it if I tell them.
However, she was also very excited. After all, she was the boss, so she should keep a low profile.
After finishing everything, Mi Hongjun slapped his head and said, "Oh, by the way, the flower basket outside was sent by Mr. Meng's employees, and they also left a letter for you."
After saying that, Mi Hongjun took out an envelope from the drawer. It was an ordinary envelope with four big characters written on it in a flamboyant style: From Qin Xiang himself.
The others were curious and kept looking around. Fortunately, Qin Xiang was thick-skinned and stuffed the letter directly into her bag. "Let's go back to bed. I'll treat you all to a good meal tomorrow at noon."
A few people closed the shop and went directly to the guesthouse. As for the employees in the store, one person was left in the lounge inside the store to watch the store, and the rest went to the nearby employee dormitory, a palm-sized courtyard rented by Qin Xiang.
I have to say that although Jinshi is close to the capital, the housing prices are much more friendly than in the capital. Of course, the courtyard is not only for accommodation, but also for storing some goods when necessary.
It was already past eleven o'clock when they arrived at the guesthouse. Everyone was tired after a whole day and no matter how excited they were, they were in no mood to discuss anything and almost fell asleep immediately.
The next day I slept until nine o'clock, got up, had breakfast, and ran to the store to help out full of energy.
Although it is the second day of opening, due to the gimmick of 15% off and yesterday's business, some people have brought their friends here today, and the flow of people and sales volume are much better than yesterday.
Whether it was Qin Xiang or the others, they were all very busy.
But the next day was Monday, and Qin Xiang and her classmates still had to go to class, so at around four o'clock in the afternoon, they hurried to catch the last bus and leave.
On the way back in the car, several people were still excitedly discussing this trip to Jinshi, which was different from their previous experience working in Qinxiang store.
The sense of pride that comes naturally when I see the clothes I designed worn by customers is difficult to express in words.
But they all knew that without Qin Xiang's help, they wouldn't have made the progress they have today. Qin Xiang wasn't the only student secretly working as a self-employed person. While others kept it a secret, fearing others would learn from them, Qin Xiang never hid it and provided them with opportunities.
Zhao Wenna said excitedly, "Qin Xiang, it's great to meet you."
Ding Xiang also nodded in agreement, "You have opened the door to a new world for us."
Qin Xiang was stunned. Meng Huaiqing had also said this to her, and her heart couldn't help but warm up. "That also depends on your excellence. If you don't do well, I won't accept you."
Ding Xiang smiled and said, "If you don't give us a chance, our design will only remain on paper."
In fact, their majors do have their time to be put into practice, but that will be after their sophomore and junior years, when they will need to provide finished designs for the final exams.
It's rare that they can design such a coat.
Qin Xiang did not comment and talked about other things.
Working so non-stop was indeed tiring, and on the second day several of us almost couldn't get up.
Because the summer is hot and the capital is a furnace, the temperature is even more unbearable.
In the evening, Qin Xiang finished her class and was about to go to the store. As she walked out of the west gate, she saw Meng Huaiqing's car parked not far away. Qin Xiang walked over, rolled down the window, and Meng Huaiqing's face appeared in the driver's seat. "Ms. Qin Xiang, are you interested in going somewhere with me?"
Qin Xiang glanced at the sunlight in the west and squinted her eyes. "Ms. Qin Xiang said she didn't want to go. She just wanted to find a place to stay."
Meng Huaiqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He got out of the car and opened the door for her. "Then let's go back to your yard first and ask the workers to install the air conditioner for you."
Qin Xiang was surprised, "Did you get it from Hong Kong?"
In fact, air conditioners were produced in China, but in very small quantities, and most people couldn't buy them. Qin Baotian went to various major department stores several times but couldn't buy one. Unexpectedly, Meng Huaiqing actually got one.
She was silent for a moment, then thought of the comfort of air conditioning and agreed without much ambition, "Having this thing makes me even less likely to go out."
After getting in the car, she felt a chill, "Car air conditioning?"
I have to say, it’s good to have money. I didn’t even have that car before, but I didn’t expect to change it so quickly.
Meng Huaiqing hummed, "Isn't the purpose of making money to enjoy life? If you have it, why not buy it?"
Qin Xiang agreed, "You're absolutely right. My dream is to make enough money so that when I'm in my thirties I can find a professional manager to help me manage my business. Then I can start living a rich life and enjoy it."
Of course, Meng Huaiqing was not in her original life plan. Who would have thought that just over a year after her divorce, this man would forcefully enter her life.
She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Meng Huaiqing.
The man wore a short-sleeved shirt, which was rare for him. The top two buttons were undone, revealing his beautiful Adam's apple. Looking down, he was still wearing black trousers, with the hem of his shirt tucked inside his clothes. He kept his back straight while driving, and the muscles on his exposed arms were smooth and his skin was very white, making the scar on his arm even more conspicuous and hideous.
"Does it look good?"
Meng Huaiqing didn't move his eyes, looked at the road ahead seriously, and turned the car into the alley.
Qin Xiang nodded subconsciously, "It's beautiful, so beautiful that it makes people want to commit a crime."
The car suddenly stopped at the door. Meng Huaiqing turned his head to look at her with a deep look in his eyes. "Ms. Qin Xiang, do you know that what you said is likely to make people think too much?"
"Is that too much?" Qin Xiang chuckled, unfastened her seatbelt, leaned forward, and kissed Meng Huaiqing on the slightly cool lips. "Is that still too much?"
Meng Huaiqing got out of the car and opened the door for her, "Get out."
Seeing that he didn't respond, Qin Xiang smiled unkindly and looked around. Mr. Meng is really a gentleman.
Meng Huaiqing looked across the alley, where several workers were pulling a large box over. His voice was a little hazy, "I'll prove to you later if I'm a gentleman."
The man called the workers over and asked Qin Xiang to open the door.
Qin Xiang felt regretful and bored. She was seduced by such a beautiful woman, and although he had a reaction, he was able to adjust quickly.
Terrible self-control.
When I opened the door and went in, the banyan tree in the yard provided some shade, but it was still not cool.
The outdoor units of air conditioners these days are particularly large and are said to be loud. In order to reduce the impact, the outdoor units are placed some distance away from the room and the connecting pipes are also long.
Several workers worked together and completed the installation in less than an hour. After plugging in the power, a cool breeze blew out of the air conditioner, and the skin became instantly cool when it fell on it.
Qin Xiang went to take a shower, and Meng Huaiqing also said, "I'm going to take a shower too since I've worked up a sweat."
After taking a shower and returning to the bedroom, they kissed each other without even looking at each other.
The war was about to break out, but at this moment, the whirring air conditioner suddenly stopped working.
There is a power outage.
