Chapter 210
It was precisely because she recognized him that Qin Xiang felt even more upset.
Fu Yunmei actually extended her hand into her territory.
Qin Xiang looked at Li Zhiguo coming in with a happy face and immediately asked, "Brother Li, are you on duty this afternoon?"
"Yeah." Li Zhiguo asked, "The boss is here to check on the work? There were few people around in the afternoon, so I went out for a while."
Qin Xiang nodded and said casually, "Is he going on a date?"
"No," Li Zhiguo said with a serious face. "No, a guy like me can't have a relationship. Girls wouldn't even like me."
At this time, Meilin and the others also noticed it, and they looked at Li Zhiguo with a strange look in their eyes, but Qin Xiang did not point it out, so they just stood there without moving.
Li Zhiguo was a little confused, "What's wrong?"
Qin Xiang shook her head. "It's nothing. I just asked casually, thinking you're not young anymore." She paused and said sincerely, "Brother Li, you're considered a veteran employee in our company. I'm very concerned about your personal situation. If you find someone, please tell me. I'll give you a generous gift at the wedding banquet."
Li Zhiguo's expression remained unchanged as he nodded immediately, "Okay, thank you in advance, boss."
He half-jokingly said, "For this big gift, I have to find a partner quickly. I'll be busy now."
Qin Xiang nodded, "Okay, go ahead."
After watching Li Zhiguo go in, Qin Xiang withdrew his gaze and said to the others, "Let's go to the front room and talk."
Qin Xiang was in a bad mood and lost the mood to wander around. Guan Yuping glanced at a few people and said, "Qin Xiang, we won't tell anyone about this. We'll go back first. You can handle it over there."
Qin Xiang thought about it and nodded, "Okay, I'll buy you some delicious food when I get back."
So he went to call Zhao Ping, and the two of them went to the storefront and parted ways with the others.
On the way back, Meilin was a little confused, "What on earth does Fu Yunmei want to do? I don't believe she has a crush on Li Zhiguo."
They all knew Qin Xiang's men. Li Zhi's country wasn't the capital, but it was close. He hadn't been to school much, and while he looked honest, he wasn't exactly exceptional. Fu Yunmei was a good-looking woman, a beautiful girl from the Jiangnan water town, and a Tsinghua University graduate. They wouldn't believe her if she didn't have any ulterior motives.
Guan Yuping said, "Let's not worry about it anymore. Qin Xiang must have a plan. We just need to keep our mouths shut and not reveal our secrets in front of Fu Yunmei."
Several people said that they would not reveal the truth.
As Qin Xiang and Zhao Ping walked towards the front room, they asked him, "What do you think of Li Zhiguo now?"
Zhao Ping had introduced the man, so Qin Xiang couldn't help but tell him about this. Her distrust of Li Zhiguo didn't mean she didn't trust Zhao Ping. Zhao Ping had been with her for over a year now, a quiet and steady person who never gave Qin Xiang any cause for worry.
Zhao Ping was stunned when he heard this, and then continued, "We had a good relationship when we were in the army, but we were discharged later for various reasons. Did he commit a crime?"
Qin Xiang smiled, "It's not a crime. I just saw him getting very close to one of my classmates. But when I asked him, he said he wasn't dating anyone."
Li Zhiguo is two years younger than Zhao Ping and is also unmarried. Zhao Ping knows this.
Zhao Ping frowned. Dating is not something shameful. If they are already together, why don't you admit it?
Wait, a classmate of Qin Xiang's? Isn't that a Tsinghua University student?
Zhao Ping quickly asked, "Which classmate?"
He had a bad feeling. If it were just an ordinary classmate, Qin Xiang wouldn't have said that. Even if their status was unequal, she wouldn't have bothered to care about the relationships of her employees. It was obvious that the woman either had a grudge against Qin Xiang or was close to her.
But the ones who were on good terms with Qin Xiang were those in the dormitory, and they all went back just now, so it was definitely not her. The rest were those who had a grudge against her.
Zhao Ping frowned, "It can't be Bei Nannan or Fu Yunmei."
Qin Xiang smiled and said with satisfaction, "Not bad, Brother Zhao, now you know how to use your brain."
When he first followed her, Zhao Ping was willing to let him fight, but he had trouble using his brain.
Zhao Ping chuckled, "We have to keep up with the progress."
Qin Xiang didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "It's Fu Yunmei. Bei Nannan is neither an enemy nor a friend to us now. We don't interfere with each other."
In fact, Bei Nannan's transformation was very sudden. Qin Xiang didn't understand why Bei Nannan suddenly came to her senses and drew a clear line with Fu Yunmei.
But no matter what, fewer enemies are better than more, so I no longer pay attention to Bei Nannan.
Zhao Ping's face turned grim as he cursed, "I treated him like a brother, but he stabbed me in the back. Boss, what do you say? How about just firing him?"
Seeing his indignant look, Qin Xiang laughed and said, "It would be bad to just fire him. After all, we just looked at his back. What else can we do if he doesn't admit it?"
Of course, as a boss, and a boss of a private enterprise, the labor laws are not very mature at this stage, so it is not up to her to decide whether to use it or not.
But Qin Xiang didn't want this to happen, so as to avoid word getting out that she bullied her employees.
Qin Xiang said, "We must at least investigate this matter thoroughly, and I want to know what Fu Yunmei's purpose is and what she wants to do through Li Zhiguo."
Hearing this, Zhao Ping broke out in a cold sweat. Yes, there's no such thing as a good thing without a reason. Li Zhiguo's looks and abilities are average. If he hadn't been a martial artist and looked honest, he wouldn't have introduced her. Fu Yunmei approached Li Zhiguo. How could he not be delighted to see that she was dating a college student? She was so soft-hearted that she had to do whatever she was told. If she truly had nothing to hide, no one would believe her.
Zhao Ping gritted his teeth and said in a serious tone, "Boss, leave this matter to me. I will investigate it."
Qin Xiang nodded. "Okay. I'll also tell Mi Hongjun that he's been hanging around the wholesale city a lot these days, so we have to be on our guard against him. If he does anything, it's best to catch him in the act."
Then he said to Zhao Ping, "Brother Zhao, if something really happens, I hope you will know to report it to the police, and I hope you won't be soft-hearted."
"I understand. I know what's right and wrong." Zhao Ping's face turned grim upon hearing this. He had introduced Li Zhiguo as a brother. If Li Zhiguo joined forces with outsiders to do evil, it would be without any consideration for their friendship. If that was the case, then what was there for him to worry about?
Qin Xiang said with satisfaction, "Of course I believe Brother Zhao, otherwise I wouldn't be able to tell you this."
As they were talking, the two of them arrived at the front room, and Mi Hongjun happened to be there, so Qin Xiang went upstairs to tell him and Tan Xiu about this matter.
Now, apart from the store manager, they are the only two people in the management team, and they may be able to see the signs of many things.
Tan Xiu was in charge of the personnel affairs of her company, and she was in charge of all the staff training and onboarding. After hearing what Qin Xiang said, she couldn't help but frown. After thinking for a while, she said, "Now that you mention it, I really noticed something. Lately, he seems to be out every day at noon and in the evening, and he always seems very happy when he comes back. Once, I smelled the scent of vanishing cream on him, and I even joked that he might be in a relationship, because he smelled fragrant, but he said no."
Qin Xiang frowned, "About a few days."
Tan Xiu thought about it carefully and said, "It seems that it has only been a few days."
That means Fu Yunmei and Li Zhiguo have not been together for a long time, and perhaps in order to gain Li Zhiguo's trust, Fu Yunmei has not asked for anything yet.
But who knows what will happen in the future.
She was lucky. She went out shopping on a whim and saw it. If she hadn't seen it, it would be hard to say what would happen in the future.
Qin Xiang nodded and instructed, "I'll leave this matter to you three. Keep an eye on him and see what they're planning to do."
If he just wanted to steal the clothes from her, that would be fine. But I was afraid that Fu Yunmei was up to something bigger, or was planning something very bad, like destroying all her clothes.
No matter which one it is, as long as Li Zhiguo dares to reach out, she will chop off his claws.
But before that, she couldn't get involved. You couldn't criticize someone just because they were in a relationship.
It is true that she and Fu Yunmei have a bad relationship, but can she stop her from dating?
If she really told him in advance, people might think she looked down on him and couldn't stand him being successful, and that she was causing trouble for no reason. It wasn't worth it.
"Don't worry, now that we know about this, we definitely can't just let it go."
After giving the instructions, Qin Xiang was about to return to school. When Meng Huaiqing was not here, she usually stayed in school as much as possible.
The present time is no exception.
On the way, Qin Xiang met someone selling sugar-roasted chestnuts and bought some to take home.
After Zhao Ping sent her back to school, he hurried to the wholesale city to keep an eye on Li Zhiguo.
Qin Xiang also went back to the dormitory to get her books and went to study with others.
When a few people saw her coming, they didn't surround her to avoid being noticed by Fu Yunmei.
It was not until I returned to the dormitory that I couldn't wait to ask.
Qin Xiang said, "It's probably been a few days. Li Zhiguo often goes out at noon and in the evening these days, which is right around the time of our class schedule."
Meilin couldn't help but curse, "If she just wanted to disgust Qin Xiang, then it wouldn't be that bad, but what exactly is she trying to achieve?"
"They're trying to sabotage her," Guan Yuping snorted without even looking up. "Qin Xiang only has a few male employees under her. Mi Hongjun has a girlfriend, and she's a national TV reporter, so she's keeping a close eye on him. Zhao Ping is more suitable than Li Zhiguo, after all. He's the closest person to Qin Xiang, but Zhao Ping is busy and knows about their feud, so he can't bother with her. Li Zhiguo, on the other hand, knows about Qin Xiang's affairs, but not the details. He only knows they don't have a good relationship, and he's someone who has access to clothes at the wholesale market..."
She frowned and guessed, "Qin Xiang, she doesn't really want to destroy the clothes, does she?"
Qin Xiang smiled, "I'm worried about that too. I've already asked someone to keep an eye on him. We'll know when the time comes whether he has any bad intentions."
Apart from this, she really couldn't think of how Fu Yunmei could deal with her through Li Zhiguo.
After saying this, Qin Xiang stopped talking about it and took out the chestnuts and said, "Eat chestnuts. Although they are cold, they are still delicious."
So a few of them ate chestnuts and chatted about the design competition. Everyone was very concerned, but they also knew that this competition was not like the internal school competitions that would produce results in a few days. National or even global competitions might take a long time to produce results.
This matter cannot be rushed.
Zhao Wenna smiled and said, "Instead of looking forward to that, it would be better to design more clothes and sell them to Qin Xiang, which can also supplement our living expenses."
Meilin sighed regretfully, "It's a shame we only sell a few designs this semester. You're not as talented as me."
Zhao Wenna smiled, "Diligence can make up for lack of talent. If you read less idle books and go out more, you will definitely be fine."
"That's not just for fun, it's for inspiration." It's not that Meilin doesn't work hard, she just enjoys reading novels. Back in the countryside, when opportunities were scarce, she'd treasured every book she could get. Now, when she has the chance, she'll definitely not let it go. She has to set aside at least an hour every day for fun reading.
Seeing that she didn't admit it, Zhao Wenna didn't bother to say anything to her. She took out a notebook and took out a few more design drafts, "Boss, take a look at these. I'm waiting to sell them to buy materials for white putty."
Qin Xiang thought for a moment, "Aren't you planning to renovate?"
Zhao Wenna shook her head. "I don't have such plans. The houses in that area have been packaged and contracted out. Someone has designed the renovations, but the price is not cheap. I don't have that much money, and at most I'll just go there for a weekend getaway. There's no need to decorate it too fine. I just plan to buy some tools and materials and scrape it out myself so that I can live in it. I'll save some money for some simple furniture, which is fine."
Qin Xiang nodded, "Okay, don't forget to ask us to come over and warm the pot for you when the time comes."
Zhao Wenna laughed and looked at them and said, "Of course, none of you can escape."
After saying this, Qin Xiang no longer cared.
A few days passed and Li Zhiguo's case still hadn't come to a conclusion. Instead, Qin Baotian told Qin Xiang, "Your third brother is going to bring people to the capital."
