Chapter 177
Qin Xiang heard Miao Sheng talking and turned to look, "Is the call over?"
Noticing Miao Sheng's look, Qin Xiang didn't hide anything and said directly, "I'm sure you're not willing to see him being bullied like this. So, while he's lying here, let's talk about how to fight back."
Miao Sheng instantly felt guilty for his narrow-mindedness. He thought that his boss was the only one who was giving in this relationship, and Qin Xiang had always been indifferent. Her feelings were not as strong as his boss's, and he could remain calm even when his boss was lying there.
But when he saw the rules and regulations written on it, he realized how wrong he was.
Miao Sheng didn't dare look at Qin Xiang, and pursed his lips and said, "I'm sorry."
Qin Xiang was stunned, a little puzzled, then frowned and looked at Miao Sheng, "Don't tell me that today's incident was caused by your negligence."
"That's not the case." Miao Sheng said with a dry mouth and a bit embarrassed, but if it was wrong, it was wrong. "Just now I thought you were still busy with your work..."
He didn't say anything else, but Qin Xiang understood what he meant and her face changed immediately.
She glanced at the notebook in her hand and flipped through it. The front pages were indeed filled with clothes she had designed. She stood up and walked out, and Miao Sheng hurriedly followed.
Outside, Qin Xiang snapped the notebook shut and looked at Miao Sheng with amusement. "Even if I'm busy with my work, what's wrong with that?"
"I……"
"What do you mean?" Qin Xiang was in a bad mood and very irritable. She looked at Miao Sheng and said directly, "Huaiqing is lying there. I am very sad and worried. But it is not me, nor you, who caused all this. Now that the operation is over, there is nothing we can do except wait. Why, when he is sick, I have to be sad and lose my appetite, and if he dies, I have to be buried with him? Do I have to sacrifice my career and my life?"
What she said was harsh, but it was also what she was thinking. She looked up at Miao Sheng, her eyes filled with anger, "I won't do that. Miao Sheng, you should know that he and I are both people who regard our careers as our lives. We don't know what will happen in the next few decades, but at this stage, our careers are more important than love. Even if it was me lying there, I hope he could deal with this matter calmly and arrange his own work, instead of feeling sorry for himself because of the person lying there. What's the point of hiding sadness in your heart? Wouldn't it be better to think about what to do next and how to get revenge?"
Although Miao Sheng somewhat disagreed with Qin Xiang's point of view, he couldn't find any words to refute it at this moment.
Qin Xiang didn't want to bring up the matter now. Meng Huaiqing had gotten into trouble, and she could see Miao Sheng was upset and blaming himself. She also didn't want to push him too hard at this point.
She opened the paper she had just written on, and her tone softened a bit, "Okay, let's not think about this, now let's talk about what happens next."
Miao Sheng stood up straight and said, "You go ahead."
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Which of his adult brothers and sisters were involved in this? I think with your status in Hong Kong City, it would be easy to investigate who did it, right?"
Miao Sheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "The old lady said she would take care of this matter."
"She'll handle it. That's her business." Qin Xiang looked at Miao Sheng. Seeing that he seemed to disapprove, she asked, "Then tell me, if she finds out which of her grandsons did it, what can she do for Meng Huaiqing? Beat him up? Threaten him? Or force Meng Huaiqing's father to take back his rights in the company? Do you think such a punishment can offset the suffering Huaiqing has endured today?"
Miao Sheng couldn't refute, "No."
"That's right." Qin Xiang said calmly, "No matter how much the old lady loves Meng Huaiqing, those are also her grandchildren, and she can't bring herself to do anything too ruthless. In this case, it's better for us to make preparations ourselves."
Miao Sheng straightened his back and said, "I will definitely follow your instructions."
Seeing his reaction, Qin Xiang was satisfied. "This matter is actually very simple. A noble young man from a family of Jiang's stature may appear decent on the surface, but he must have a side that is unknown to the public, right?"
Miao Sheng was stunned for a moment, then realized, "You mean I should investigate the secrets behind them?"
Qin Xiang nodded. "That's right. We can't do anything illegal. We can't just hit the car back if they try to hit us. We're afraid we'll get killed. Go investigate. While he's lying here, he'll attract attention. Find out the details and then sell it to the paparazzi in Hong Kong. Of course, to prevent the leak, you need to publicize it in all directions. Sell it to several companies and make sure everyone in Hong Kong knows what they did."
You hurt Meng Huaiqing and still want to hide behind and laugh?
Bah, even if she didn't go to Hong Kong City, she would still skin them alive.
What these wealthy families care about most is reputation!
She also heard from Miao Sheng that Jiang Licheng wanted to develop in the mainland, and Meng Huaiqing happened to have experience, so she wanted Meng Huaiqing to act as a matchmaker and lead the charge.
Come on.
After Qin Xiang finished speaking, Miao Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately agreed, "I'll arrange it now."
"No, you go back yourself." Qin Xiang looked at him and said, "I don't trust anyone else with this matter. Assistant Liu needs to handle the company's affairs, so you have to go. You must investigate it thoroughly."
Miao Sheng nodded, "I understand. I'll leave this to you, sir."
Qin Xiang waved her hand and said, "Go ahead."
It's almost dawn outside.
It was a rare experience for Qin Xiang to stay awake all night.
Now her mind was clear and she wasn't sleepy at all.
When he thought about what happened to Meng Huaiqing on Chinese soil, he felt very unhappy.
At around seven o'clock, Mi Hongjun came with breakfast.
Meng Huaiqing did not wake up.
Given the current situation, Qin Xiang really couldn't go back, so she arranged work with Mi Hongjun.
"You go and follow up on the shipment from Wu Gang. Once the goods are shipped, you will go directly to Hangzhou to pick them up and hand them over to Tan Xiu. Assist her in opening two stores, and then you will return to the capital." Qin Xiang ticked the first question and asked the second one.
"When you leave, take the intact silk garments with you first. Leave the defective ones behind. I'll design patterns for each one and bring them back. When you return to the capital, find a suitable storefront and focus on developing high-end products. It doesn't have to be too large, but the decoration must be elegant, worthy of high-end silk clothing."
Mi Hongjun nodded and said, "I've noted it all down."
Qin Xiang nodded and said, "I can't go back now, so I can only hand over the whole stall to you."
Mi Hongjun smiled embarrassedly, "Sister, you are still polite to me."
"You should be polite," Qin Xiang said with a smile. "You call me sister, and I treat you as my own brother, but brothers should also settle accounts. I'll draft a new agreement later and give you 1% of the profits."
Mi Hongjun was different from the other employees to her, and Mi Hongjun was indeed responsible for a lot of things now, but his monthly salary was still so low, although Mi Hongjun himself had no objection. However, even if Qin Xiang was a capitalist, she couldn't exploit him too much.
Besides, it was only a matter of time before she set up a company, and distributing a portion of the profits to her employees was also part of her plan, it was only a matter of time.
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "I've thought about this for a long time. I still have three years of university. You've had a heavy burden during these three years. You deserve it."
Hearing this, Mi Hongjun touched his head, a little embarrassed, "I, I always feel that this is against the rules."
Qin Xiang was happy. "Here, what I say is the rule. Okay, go get ready. I have to fulfill my girlfriend's obligations during this period."
She can't just let a man come to her when she needs him and kick him away when he is sick.
At present, she is very satisfied with Meng Huaiqing and has no intention of changing him. She always has to express her feelings when it is necessary.
Mi Hongjun nodded, "Okay, I'll leave then."
Mi Hongjun's work was indeed very busy, and Qin Xiang had no choice but to hand it all over to him. Even if Mi Hongjun was not confident at times, he had to step up now.
As soon as he left, Qin Xiang sat there and talked to Meng Huaiqing, "Mr. Meng, look how good I am to you. I put you before work. If you don't wake up, it will really break my heart."
I don’t know if Qin Xiang’s words worked, but the man with his eyes closed frowned, then slowly opened his eyes.
Qin Xiang was surprised, "Hey, Boss Meng, you're awake now?"
Meng Huaiqing didn't know where he was. He blinked and slowly smiled. "Sorry, I broke the promise. I will make it up to you next time."
Compensation? Compensation for what?
Qin Xiang's face turned red. "Alright, your head is split open and you're still saying this. Does it hurt?"
Just as Meng Huaiqing was about to say that he didn't feel uncomfortable, he felt dizzy and then wanted to vomit.
His face was as pale as a ghost, and sweat was oozing from his forehead.
Qin Xiang was shocked and quickly pressed the bell to call a doctor. Meng Huaiqing was already holding up his body and vomiting. Qin Xiang hurriedly picked up a basin under the bed, and Meng Huaiqing vomited it all out.
But I hadn't eaten anything for a day and a night, so even if I vomited, I could only vomit out some acid water.
When the doctor came in, Meng Huaiqing was full of apologies, "I'm sorry to make you face this. Just let Miao Sheng come and take care of me."
Hearing his polite words, Qin Xiang laughed angrily, "Is it wrong for me to take care of you here?"
"No." Meng Huaiqing was lying on the bed with a splitting headache, but he felt sorry when he looked at Qin Xiang.
When they were in love, he just wanted her to see his best side. Now that he looked so miserable in front of her, he felt very uncomfortable.
Several doctors questioned Meng Huaiqing, examined him, and finally concluded, "This is a sequelae of a concussion after a head impact. You need to observe and recuperate slowly in the future."
Qin Xiang was relieved. After the doctor finished the examination, changed the IV bottle and left, she sat down in front of the bed. "So I'm sitting here now. Are you going to kick me out?"
Meng Huaiqing shook his head helplessly, "I dare not."
"You still dare not?"
Meng Huaiqing forced a smile and looked at Qin Xiang and said, "I'm afraid if I drive you away you'll never come again."
It was obvious that he was feeling very uncomfortable. Qin Xiang didn't want to argue with him, so she took the water cup and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go buy something."
There was a supermarket in the hospital that sold many daily necessities. Qin Xiang bought a cup with a straw, washed it, filled it with water, and handed it to him, "Drink from this."
Seeing her busying around, Meng Huaiqing said, "Thank you."
Qin Xiang: "Drink quickly."
Meng Huaiqing drank some water and lay there for a while to relax. Finally, he felt less uncomfortable, but then the aftereffects of drinking the water began to appear.
I want to go to the bathroom.
Meng Huaiqing stirred, "Where's Miao Sheng?"
Qin Xiang said, "He's back in Hong Kong. By the way, you must be hungry. I'll have someone prepare something to eat."
"Then call the bodyguards outside in." Meng Huaiqing said, "I have something to tell you."
Qin Xiang responded and stood up, then suddenly stopped, as if she had realized something. "You don't want to go to the bathroom, do you?"
It would have been fine if she didn't ask, but when she did, Meng Huaiqing's face turned red.
Qin Xiang chuckled, "Are you shy?"
Meng Huaiqing was helpless and smiled gently, "Yeah, I'm shy."
"Wait." Qin Xiang knew that he was embarrassed and didn't want to take advantage of others' misfortune, so he quickly went out and called a bodyguard in.
These bodyguards have been with Meng Huaiqing for a long time and are very familiar with him. They blame themselves for what happened this time. When they heard Meng Huaiqing calling them, they hurried over and said, "Boss, what are your instructions?"
Meng Huaiqing said, "Help me go to the toilet."
However, before he could move, he started to feel dizzy again.
At this time, a young nurse came in from outside with a urinal. If you need to urinate, you can use this.
In an instant, Meng Huaiqing's face turned red.
Qin Xiang couldn't help laughing anymore.
Qin Xiang couldn't help laughing, then said, "Okay, I'll just go out."
It would be better if there were two men left in the room.
After a while, the bodyguard came out, with no expression on his face.
Qin Xiang came in and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Meng Huaiqing nodded, "I'm hungry."
Qin Xiang stood up and said, "Then I'll go buy some food."
Before she could even get up, Meng Huaiqing grabbed her arm. Qin Xiang was puzzled, "What's wrong? Is there anything you want to eat?"
Meng Huaiqing said, "I want to eat the food you cook."
Qin Xiang frowned. This was a bit embarrassing, but since the other person was sick, she said helplessly, "I'll find a way to find a place to do it for you."
Meng Huaiqing still refused to let go. "To be honest, I also have a place in Yangcheng. I have everything I need there. I can cook as soon as I buy food."
Qin Xiang was stunned for a moment and then smiled, "Okay, boss, you are really rich."
I'm so envious.
She has a house in Guangzhou and in the capital. Maybe she can buy one wherever she goes. Compared with the boss of Renmin University, she is really a loser.
Meng Huaiqing came out, followed by a bodyguard. "I'll take you there."
It was obvious that it was Meng Huaiqing who gave the order.
Qin Xiang followed the bodyguard and took Zhao Ping out of the hospital. They went to buy vegetables nearby first, and then followed the bodyguard to the house.
The house is not far from here. It takes about ten minutes to drive there in the bodyguard's car. It is a newly built community with a full complement of security personnel at the gate. From the outside, the house looks nice, all multi-story.
Once inside, the bodyguard added, "Actually, this house was paid for by a previous client, and it's only been cleaned up these past few days. The boss originally planned to bring you here to see it today as a surprise."
Hearing this, Qin Xiang felt a little uncomfortable. There were six floors in total, with one household per floor. Meng Huaiqing's house was on the third floor. After going up, the bodyguard opened the door and found that the area inside was extremely large.
Qin Xiang was a little surprised.
Although commercial housing has become available in the past two years, the area of the houses is generally very small. Forty to fifty square meters, or fifty to sixty square meters are considered large. Not to mention the layout inside, the zoning and area allocation are not good. Many toilets are only one square meter, and you have to stand in the squat toilet to take a shower. It feels crowded even if you are alone.
The house in front of her was very different. She finally understood why this house had one household per floor, because it was really big, with an area of about 150 to 160 square meters. The internal division design did not look like a house of this era, but rather like a house that had been improved in later generations.
The layout is four bedrooms and two living rooms, with simple decoration, and all the furniture is in harmony with the decoration, unlike many people's homes nowadays where the furniture is all red.
The bodyguard handed the key to Qin Xiang and said, "I'll wait for you downstairs."
Zhao Ping finally spoke at this time, "This house is really nice."
Full of envy.
Not only Zhao Ping was envious, Qin Xiang was also envious.
She also wants a big house like this.
"Wait, when I have money, we'll build our own houses and give them to our employees for free."
This is a beautiful wish and also her goal.
Zhao Ping couldn't help laughing, "Then I'll be waiting."
Qin Xiang carried the things and went straight to the kitchen. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the necessary utensils, the gas stove was installed, the dishes were washed clean and placed in the cupboard, and even the iron pot had been opened.
That means she can just cook without having to worry about anything else.
Zhao Ping helped her and Qin Xiang began to prepare.
Meng Huaiqing's injury was in the brain, and treating a patient requires careful attention to diet. Many foods are off-limits, so Qin Xiang prepared a porridge of green vegetables and lean meat. The side dishes were light: stir-fried yam and stir-fried bok choy with meat. The meat dish was crucian carp stewed with tofu. First, fry the crucian carp over low heat, then add boiling water. Once the water boils, add the tofu and simmer for a while, the aroma filling the air.
Finally, make an omelet, cut it into small pieces and put it in the lunch box. You can soak the omelet in the soup, which is also very good.
After packing up my things and checking the time, it only took about forty minutes.
As soon as Meng Huaiqing came downstairs, his bodyguard drove over quickly and headed to the hospital.
When Qin Xiang arrived outside the ward, she heard voices. There were also several unfamiliar faces outside the ward, both men and women, standing respectfully aside.
She looked at the bodyguard beside her inquiringly, and the other party replied in a low voice, "Miss Qin, the old lady is here."
Qin Xiang understood that Meng Huaiqing's grandmother had come. She hadn't expected the old lady to come back to the mainland for such a long time because her grandson was injured. She just didn't know if she would take the opportunity to go to Shandong Province to see Uncle Ge.
Qin Xiang originally didn't want to go in and disturb them, but thinking that Meng Huaiqing hadn't eaten for a long time, she reached out and knocked on the door and went in.
When she knocked on the door, the conversation inside stopped abruptly. Ge Lijuan turned around and saw a young girl in her twenties coming in carrying several lunch boxes.
Qin Xiang said politely, "Hello."
Ge Lijuan looked at Qin Xiang kindly and waved, "You must be Xiao Qin, come here and let me see you."
Ge Lijuan is a kind old lady in front of her own people. She is very curious about the girl her grandson likes. After seeing her today, she finally understands why her grandson likes her.
Beautiful looks are secondary. After all, Hong Kong is not short of beautiful and elegant socialites. Qin Xiang has a quality that other girls don't have. Her eyes are bright and firm. It is rare to face her with neither servility nor overbearingness.
Qin Xiang came closer and called out affectionately, "Hello, Grandma Ge."
"Good." The call of "Grandma Ge" made Ge Lijuan feel favorable. She looked at the lunch box and asked with a smile, "Is this dinner for Huaiqing?"
Qin Xiang nodded and smiled, "Yes. I made a few simple dishes."
Ge Lijuan laughed and glanced at Meng Huaiqing teasingly, "No wonder he refused to eat the dinner I brought. He was waiting for Xiao Qin to cook." The old lady began to sigh pretentiously, "I'm old. No matter how much grandma kisses me, it's not as good as my girlfriend's."
Meng Huaiqing seemed to have long been accustomed to Ge Lijuan's way of speaking. He looked at Qin Xiang apologetically, then struggled to get up.
Qin Xiang hurried over to help put a pillow in the back and asked, "Are you still dizzy?"
"I'm much better now." Meng Huaiqing touched his stomach and looked at Qin Xiang, "I'm just a little hungry."
Qin Xiang responded and lifted the small table on the bed and pushed it over, then took out the food. "You can't eat anything too greasy right now, so just make do with it. I'll treat you to a big meal when you get better."
"You do?"
Qin Xiang looked at him and said, "It's not impossible. You can help prepare the food and I can cook."
Unless he is sick and lying in bed like now, and she takes care of him reluctantly, it is impossible for him to eat for free and wait for her to serve him.
Hearing this, Meng Huaiqing nodded as a matter of course, "Of course."
The two men did not avoid Ge Lijuan when they spoke. Ge Lijuan sat there and did not participate. Instead, she watched their conversation with great joy.
Qin Xiang only brought two pairs of chopsticks. After putting away the lunch box, she politely said to Ge Lijuan, "Grandma Ge, would you like to eat something too?"
Ge Lijuan shook her head regretfully. "I really wanted to try Xiao Qin's cooking, but unfortunately I had already eaten before I came. I will definitely try it when I have the chance in the future."
Qin Xiang didn't hesitate and sat down to eat with Meng Huaiqing.
Meng Huaiqing injured his head, but his hands were fine. He ate with his bowl and chopsticks. While eating, Meng Huaiqing did not forget to ask Qin Xiang, "Are you satisfied with the house?"
"Satisfied, very good." Qin Xiang gave an affirmative answer.
Meng Huaiqing looked up at her with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes, "Then when you come to Yangcheng next time, you can live there, okay?"
Qin Xiang was stunned. She hadn't expected Meng Huaiqing to think this way, but his uneasiness made her feel a little guilty. How worried was Meng Huaiqing that she would refuse? Had she been too assertive in the past?
Ge Lijuan next to them did not participate in their conversation. Meng Huaiqing pursed his lips and said, "If you don't want to, then forget it."
His tone sounded a little lost, but he smiled gently, trying not to care.
Qin Xiang shook her head. "No, I'm very satisfied. I just feel that I haven't had much time here so it would be a waste to leave it empty."
Her answer made Meng Huaiqing in a good mood, and a smile appeared on his face. "As long as you like it, it won't be a waste."
Qin Xiang stared at Meng Huaiqing and thought that this man was really seductive.
Unfortunately, there was nothing else to do at the moment, so I just coughed and said, "Eat."
After dinner, someone came in and cleaned up the things.
Ge Lijuan finally spoke up, "Xiao Qin, it's a nice night outside. This is my first time in Guangzhou and I'm not familiar with the area. Would you like to go for a walk with me?"
Meeting her gaze, Qin Xiang knew that what was coming was finally coming.
She couldn't help but imagine whether the old lady would take out five million and slap her in the face, asking her to leave Meng Huaiqing?
If she really offered five million, would she sell Meng Huaiqing or not?
