Chapter 230
He Liping originally studied accounting, partly because she was really interested in it and partly because she wanted a better job.
But learning accounting is different from learning a language. Learning a language is as difficult as climbing to the sky for He Liping.
Zhao Ping was also panicking, "Boss, I, I don't think I can do this."
Qin Xiang rolled her eyes at them. "Look at you guys! You've been hanging out with Assistant Liu and the others for so long, why don't you learn a thing? Most people in Hong Kong speak Cantonese, and the moment you start speaking Mandarin, it's clear you're from mainland China. If they don't speak, who will?"
Of course, they were unfamiliar with the area, so they couldn't just roam around like they did on the mainland. Mainland China had relatively sound laws, and public security was much better, but Hong Kong was different. Gangs abounded, and street fights were a possibility. Once they arrived, they would be on foreign soil, so Qin Xiang wouldn't let them navigate the area on their own. They would have to rely on Assistant Cen and the others.
But this is not the only time she will buy stocks there, so as her subordinate, I must know something about it. It is impossible to rely on Assistant Cen for everything in the future. I still have to learn it myself.
Qin Xiang was a quick learner of languages, having learned Cantonese in her previous life and her spoken English was not bad either, so she was not too worried. That was why she urged He Liping and Zhao Ping at this time, telling them to learn as much as they could. At worst, she could enroll them in classes after she came back.
After scaring the two men, they both looked gloomy. If it weren't for the fact that Hong Kong City was unsafe and needed his protection, Zhao Ping would have wanted to retreat and change people.
He Liping also knew that Qin Xiang was trying to train her, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I will definitely do my best."
Qin Xiang was satisfied, "I'm glad you think so."
She paused, "By the way, we will stay in Pengcheng for a day, then we can go around."
He Liping perked up immediately and understood, "You want to buy a house in Pengcheng?"
Qin Xiang nodded. "Yes, but we won't buy a completed house. We'll just look for old houses for sale. It would be best if it's close to the city, or somewhere closer to the edge."
Anyway, the development area of Pengcheng in the future is also very large. Some remote places today may become prosperous areas in a few decades.
If she can buy it, then buy it. If she can’t, then wait until she gets the money. Maybe she can participate in the bidding and buy the land.
Anyway, she has made up her mind. She will make a lot of money and buy a lot of houses and land while the economy is developing well over the past decade. When she wants to rest and relax, she will become a real estate agent and live a comfortable life.
He Liping understood and didn't understand. When she and Zhao Ping came out of the room, He Liping said, "The boss is really awesome."
Zhao Ping glanced at her and said worriedly, "How do I learn Cantonese?"
"Let's learn from them. When the boss is at a fashion show, we can go to the street and listen to people talking about it. Or we can follow Assistant Cen and ask him to find someone to teach us. We belong to the boss's girlfriend, so they should at least give us some face, right?"
Zhao Ping was amused. "We are just taking advantage of the power of the tiger."
"Let the fox borrow the tiger's power to bully the tiger, and I tell you, Mr. Meng will definitely be happy with it."
It’s not a big deal. Besides, if they learn well, it will benefit their boss. If the boss is happy, how can the boss’s boyfriend not be happy?
Although the two have made this decision, they still have to study it later to avoid being completely in the dark.
In the evening, the group got back on the train and headed straight for Pengcheng. The train from Shanghai to Pengcheng is not long, nearly twenty hours. If they get on the train this evening, they will arrive there at noon tomorrow, and then go to the port city via there, which is very troublesome.
Because it was night, everyone went to bed early. The next morning, the train was noisy and everyone woke up early.
It happened to be the winter vacation, and the flow of people along the way changed a lot. Everyone carried their valuable luggage bags with them or left them on their bunks.
Qin Xiang felt at ease because she was with Zhao Ping. Zhao Ping took all the money, and she took her own documents with her.
There was still a morning left in the day, so the three professors stopped letting them do their thing and started giving them lectures based on the design drafts they had seen yesterday. After all, they couldn't sit idle.
Qin Xiang also listened, learning never ends.
The three professors each taught for 40 minutes and took turns to take a break. Qin Xiang and the others listened to the class except for going to the bathroom in the middle.
He Liping huddled obediently on the upper bunk, a book in hand, studying how to be an assistant. Across the empty seat, she said to Zhao Ping, who was sitting across from her, "This is really tough."
She used to think that going to school would only be hard in junior high and high school, and that life would be easy after entering college. However, she didn't expect that being a college student would be so hard. Even during the winter vacation, she had to study on the train when she went out to see a fashion exhibition.
There were actually other passengers in their carriage. Perhaps because they were in class, many people automatically slowed down their pace and spoke less loudly when they walked over here.
This is probably the respect for cultural people.
Zhao Ping glanced at her without saying anything, then lay down to catch up on his sleep. He was also thinking about studying with Assistant Cen after arriving in Gangcheng.
We went all the way to Pengcheng and gathered at the hotel booked by the event organizer. We were just waiting for people to arrive and would go to the port city early tomorrow morning.
The organizer is a unit in Haicheng, and they attach great importance to this event.
But conditions are limited. I have to go to Hong Kong City early tomorrow morning, stay there for a day to attend the fashion show on the 22nd, and return on the 23rd.
Even though it only took three days, a lot of money was spent.
If you really want to stay longer in Hong Kong, that's fine. The organizer can only provide food, accommodation and paperwork for those three days. You have to figure out the rest yourself.
The others didn't care and were all ready to follow the main group.
Only Qin Xiang couldn't do it, so she went to tell Professor Sun, "Professor Sun, I may have to stay in Gangcheng for a few more days. I want to study for a few more days."
Professor Sun understood and nodded, "Looking for your boyfriend?"
Qin Xiang smiled, "My boyfriend is still in the capital. I just figured since I'm here anyway, I have to explore the city and learn a lot, so that this trip won't be in vain."
"Yes, you're right." Professor Sun didn't force her. When he saw her coming with two subordinates, he knew she wouldn't go back easily. Besides, her boyfriend was from here, so he didn't have to worry about the formalities. He just instructed, "This place is not as safe as ours. Although I know you're a cautious person, you still have to be more careful. Let your boyfriend have bodyguards, if he needs them. Otherwise, you won't know how he died."
Qin Xiang's expression was stern, "I understand."
Professor Sun was not worried. "Okay, I'll talk to the organizers."
Qin Xiang held him back again, "Please wait a moment, I'll ask Wen Na."
Zhao Wenna is her roommate, her friend, and her partner. At least during the two and a half years that she has been here, Zhao Wenna has always been on her side. She doesn't mind taking Zhao Wenna to see more of the place.
"Okay, go ask."
This is a good thing, Professor Sun will not stop it.
As for Jiang Mingteng, he naturally had to go back with him. It was impossible for him to ask Jiang Mingteng to stay as well. That would be inappropriate.
Qin Xiang pulled Zhao Wenna aside and told her what she was thinking. "I'm going to stay in Gangcheng for another three to five days. If you're willing, come with me. You can go around Gangcheng and learn more. We can go together again when I leave. If you're scared, I can find someone to take you around."
Zhao Wenna was very tempted. Many mainland Chinese fashions were introduced from Hong Kong. She really wanted to see what the bustling Hong Kong was like. Although they had time to go shopping tomorrow, it was inevitable that they couldn't spend too much time together as a large group. They also had to go to the venue to check the time and venue, so the time left for them was very short.
But she also felt that this would be too much trouble for Qin Xiang, "I'll pay for it myself."
"It's up to you. I think this is a rare opportunity."
After Qin Xiang finished speaking, she asked Zhao Ping to take He Liping out for a walk. She asked and found out that the customs clearance time was around seven o'clock, which was the passage opened for them. There were still a few hours left and they couldn't waste them.
After sending people out, Qin Xiang felt like a harsh capitalist who didn't even give them time to rest.
Qin Xiang quickly consoled herself by saying that they were still young and it was time for them to take advantage of the opportunity to gain experience. At worst, they could just get a little more salary during the New Year.
However, she couldn't help but frown. It was almost the 22nd, and the Chinese New Year would be at the end of January this year. This meant that after she finished her work here, she might have to go back to the capital to celebrate the New Year immediately.
It seems that she needs to compress her time a little more and try to visit a few more branches. She doesn't have enough time to go to the factory, and it will probably be time for her vacation by the time she finishes her work.
Taking advantage of this free time, Qin Xiang went out to make a phone call. She first called Wu Gang in Yangcheng and asked about the progress of the factory.
Wu Gang laughed and said, "You're not coming before the New Year? Xiao Jiao was thinking of you coming over to discuss the design draft for the new year."
Qin Xiang laughed and said helplessly, "I was originally thinking of going over, but now the plan has changed. We have to go to Hong Kong to see a fashion show, so we can only meet after the New Year."
She paused, then continued, "Come to think of it, I met quite a few students this time, and I actually received some good designs. I wanted to discuss with him about preparing for the Capital Fashion Fair after the New Year, but it seems I'll have to work overtime after the New Year."
Wu Gang also felt regretful. "That's really unfortunate. So, after the New Year, we can come over early and you can come over and we can talk, okay?"
"Of course." Qin Xiang said immediately, "After the New Year, when you go there, call me in the capital and I will fly over immediately."
The two of them made an agreement and said Happy New Year in advance, and that was it.
Qin Xiang hung up the phone and turned to the older sister in line behind her and said, "Sorry, sister, I have to make several more calls. Would you like to take a look at the others?"
The older sister behind her rolled her eyes at her and walked away angrily.
Qin Xiang was not annoyed and continued to make the call, this time to Director He at Xiang Yanghong's side.
He Shengnan laughed when she heard her voice. "I heard from Liping that she was going to Hong Kong with you and couldn't come back. I knew you wouldn't be able to come over before the New Year."
Qin Xiang apologized, "It can't be helped. There are so many things to do before the New Year. I can't help it. I will definitely visit everyone after the New Year."
After chatting with Director He about the factory's development, Qin Xiang went back to Miao Xiaofeng and said, "I'll have the finance department give you a separate amount of money. You can give bonuses based on the workers' performance. Tell Director He about this. This is a reward from me as the OEM boss. The amount won't be too much. You can divide it up and tell them that there will be more next year if they do well."
Miao Xiaofeng nodded. "I understand. I'll take care of it. By the way, I don't plan to go home for the New Year this year. I'll just spend it here."
Qin Xiang was surprised. "It's not too far from the provincial capital. Won't your parents scold you if you don't go back?"
"I don't want to go back." Miao Xiaofeng sighed. "I've gone back a few times when I had time, but they've been asking me for money. They've been saying that now that I'm a leader, I should help my brothers get promoted too. I think it's better not to go back."
Qin Xiang couldn't help but frown when she heard this.
Every family has its own difficulties, so Qin Xiang didn't force it. She thought for a moment and said, "Since you don't want to go back, why don't you just go to the capital to celebrate the New Year? You can't spend the New Year there alone. You're my employee, so we're a family. Let's go to the capital."
Hearing this, Miao Xiaofeng smiled and sighed. Because of this family, no matter how much unhappiness she had in her heart, it was gone. "Don't worry, I'm watching over this place, nothing will go wrong."
Qin Xiang laughed. "Of course I'm relieved. If I weren't, I wouldn't have let you go. And Mao Yuxiang, she'll probably be going back to her hometown for the New Year. There's nothing to buy before the New Year. Give her a 100 yuan bonus for me so she can go back early for the New Year. After the factory shuts down, you can also go to the capital. If the dormitory doesn't have enough space, you can stay in the suburban house. I think it's already been renovated."
Only then did Miao Xiaofeng remember that she already had a house there.
Fortunately, she forgot about it and didn't mention it in front of her family, otherwise the house would have been snatched away by her.
The original agreement is an agreement, but when there are real benefits, no one is willing to give up.
After hanging up, Qin Xiang called Liu Xiaocao who was far away in Hangzhou. Liu Xiaocao was in Suzhou, Hangzhou. The store would not close until New Year's Eve and would have a holiday on the 15th day after the New Year. It was estimated that he would not be able to go to the capital for the sales meeting.
Qin Xiang encouraged Liu Xiaocao and another store manager, Huang Xiuming, and told them that the finance department would give them bonuses in advance. The goods in the store had to be cleared out in a few days, as they were very busy anyway.
After calling here, Qin Xiang made more than a dozen calls to the provincial capital and other branches, and her mouth was dry.
The lady who owned the phone booth had looked at her several times.
Qin Xiang paid a few dozen dollars for the phone bill, but the aunt looked at her as if she were a fool.
In line with the famous saying that as long as you are not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed, Qin Xiang smiled at the other party and then went back to the hotel.
Jiang Mingteng saw Qin Xiang coming back and said hurriedly, "Everyone has gone to eat, let's go over there quickly. After eating, we will prepare to cross the border."
Qin Xiang glanced at the time. It was already past five o'clock. She smiled and said, "I thought we would eat when we got there."
"You're overthinking it," Jiang Mingteng said. "I heard prices there are quite high. We'd save as much as we can. How could they possibly let us eat there? Let's go. Professor Sun has been asking about you for a while."
Qin Xiang cleared her throat, and Jiang Mingteng was frightened by it. "Have you caught a cold?"
Qin Xiang shook her head helplessly, "No, I just made too many calls."
"How much will it take?"
Qin Xiang said casually, "I didn't see the specific time, but it cost more than 80 yuan anyway."
Jiang Mingteng: "..."
After a while, he said, "You are really good. You directly paid out a month's salary for two workers."
Qin Xiang smiled, "You can't count it that way."
We went into the restaurant here, had a meal together, and then started getting ready to set off.
