Chapter 231
Going to Hong Kong City now is different from the later times. The procedures are more complicated. They have gone through special channels and left home before seven o'clock. They were busy with various inspections and changed transportation. When they arrived there, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
Although the two places are closely connected, the port city has not yet returned, and the necessary procedures must be followed.
Qin Xiang couldn't help but be curious about how Meng Huaiqing had managed to go on a date with her so quickly overnight when she was in Yangcheng.
She couldn't think too much about it. Although they were in different situations, they still had their own abilities.
The group came out in a hurry, and Qin Xiang saw Assistant Cen holding a sign from a distance that read "Mainland Fashion Design Committee".
Qin Xiang was a little surprised. People from the organizing committee and various schools were also a little curious. When did they arrange for someone to receive them?
While everyone was puzzled, Professor Sun was not confused at all. He glanced at Qin Xiang with understanding and chuckled, "This must be someone Qin Xiang's boyfriend arranged for him, right?"
Professor Liang had also learned a little about Qin Xiang's affairs over the past few days. Upon hearing this, he jokingly said, "Then we're really lucky."
Assistant Cen and a few young men approached, politely nodding to the leaders. Then he walked up to Qin Xiang and said, "Miss Qin, the car is ready. Can I take you to the hotel now?"
Qin Xiang wanted to refuse, but seeing that everyone was exhausted, especially the professors who looked a little unwell, she went to see Director Lu of the organizing committee. "Director Lu, it's getting late now. How about giving them a ride?"
How could Director Lu refuse? He nodded immediately and said, "Then I'll trouble Qin Xiang."
A group of students were very excited. They had heard about Qin Xiang's boyfriend on the way and didn't expect to get in his car today.
Qin Xiang said to Assistant Cen, "Thank you for your help, Assistant Cen."
Assistant Cen said politely, "You're so polite. This is what I should do. The master instructed me early in the morning. He knew you were coming and that you weren't familiar with this place, so he asked me to treat you well. During this time, I will serve you. Please feel free to ask for anything you need."
He was too polite, and Qin Xiang felt a little embarrassed, so she hurriedly said, "Let's go."
When they arrived, there were already three cars and a bus parked outside. Qin Xiang was about to lead everyone onto the bus when Assistant Cen asked her to go over to the car. Several professors and leaders were then ushered into the cars at the back, while the remaining students were guided onto the bus.
Qin Xiang glanced at the car in front and walked past it helplessly. Immediately, a driver got out and opened the door for her to get in.
Qin Xiang glanced at the others, bent down and went in, then was stunned.
"Miss Qin, what a coincidence."
Qin Xiang was speechless for a moment. She sat down next to Meng Huaiqing and resisted the urge to roll her eyes. "You think it's funny?"
Meng Huaiqing smiled, "I don't think it's funny. It's just that I felt lonely when you left, so I quickly finished the things at hand and rushed over."
He pulled Qin Xiang to sit down, his eyes more serious, "This place is not like the mainland, there are many wolves, tigers and leopards, I am worried."
Qin Xiang also believed this and said, "Okay, if I had known you were coming, I would have taken you on the train with me no matter what."
"Forget it then." Meng Huaiqing said with a smile, "If it were just you and I taking the train, I would think it would be a wonderful trip, but with so many people, I wouldn't be able to spend even a fraction of my time with you. In that case, I might as well come earlier to make arrangements so that you can stay comfortably."
Qin Xiang was helpless, "The hotel organizing committee had already made arrangements."
Meng Huaiqing nodded, "I know."
"I should live there and take action together." Qin Xiang said.
Meng Huaiqing's expression remained unchanged. "But I've heard that tomorrow is the day the organizing committee has reserved for you to see Hong Kong City. Who knows Hong Kong City better than me? Wouldn't it be better if I could show you around?"
Qin Xiang looked at him in surprise and shook her head hurriedly, "Forget it. I guess you're a celebrity in Hong Kong. If you hang out with me, will I be the one looking at people, or will I be the one looking at people looking at you? I don't want to be stared at."
Being rejected so readily, Meng Huaiqing felt a little depressed and couldn't help asking, "Are you thinking about it?"
Qin Xiang shook her head, "I don't want to think about it."
Meng Huaiqing sighed, "Grandma originally wanted to see you, but it seems that's not possible."
Qin Xiang frowned when she heard this, "I don't have time."
To be honest, ever since Meng Huaiqing was plotted against by the Jiang family, Qin Xiang still had some complaints about Old Lady Ge. Although she could understand the embarrassment of Old Lady Ge's position, she was a selfish person and didn't want to understand anyone. She only knew that her man was hurt.
Although the instigator's reputation was now in tatters, and although the Jiang family was no longer the same as before, it still failed to meet her expectations. A lean camel was bigger than a horse, and the two bastards in the Jiang family were still enjoying themselves, which made her scratch her head.
Meng Huaiqing somewhat understood her thoughts and embraced her, feeling warm in his heart. "Thank you for standing by me unconditionally."
He understood his grandmother's difficulties, so he did not resent her, but Qin Xiang's attitude made him feel the feeling of being cared for and treated as the only one.
Qin Xiang pushed him away and said, "Don't be so rude."
She glanced at the neon lights outside. It was indeed more prosperous than the capital, Haicheng. She smiled and said, "Believe it or not, in another ten or ten years, the prosperity of the capital and Haicheng will surpass that of Gangcheng."
Meng Huaiqing was stunned. He saw the solemnity and faint glow on her face. He nodded and said, "Of course I believe it."
Qin Xiang laughed. "The next few decades will be a time of rapid development for China. I have enough confidence in our motherland. We will become a superpower standing at the forefront of the world. No one will dare to bully us anymore."
Thinking of the humiliation of ceding Hong Kong City, Meng Huaiqing nodded, "You are right, we should have confidence in our country."
Both of them laughed.
Suddenly Qin Xiang frowned, "Why do I remember Director Lu saying that the hotel is not too far from the port?"
Meng Huaiqing froze, "Yes, but you're staying in the hotel with them tonight?"
He looked at her with hurt eyes as he said, "I thought you would miss me."
Qin Xiang's teeth ached, and she turned away, "Don't look at me like that, it's quite greasy."
Meng Huaiqing was helpless. "It's greasy to say sweet words to you. So, you won't stay with me tonight? But I've already asked someone to talk to Director Lu and Professor Sun."
Qin Xiang was speechless. "You're acting first and reporting later."
Fearing that Qin Xiang would be angry, Meng Huaiqing said, "You should let me do my best to be a good host, right?"
Seeing that he looked a little nervous, as if he was afraid that she would be angry, Qin Xiang couldn't help but reflect on herself. Was she such an unreasonable person that she made Meng Huaiqing nervous and uneasy?
Thinking about my past self, it seems to be true.
She is full of thorns, and Meng Huaiqing will be unhappy if something does not go according to her ideas.
Meng Huaiqing cared too much about her to argue with her about these things. Otherwise, two proud people would have fallen out long ago.
Qin Xiang nodded, "Okay, this is just the first time, and it won't happen again."
She was relieved, and Meng Huaiqing was also relieved, "Okay, I'll take you there tomorrow night."
"Okay." Qin Xiang leaned back in his chair and looked at the scenery outside, but he actually didn't have much interest.
Although the city of Hong Kong looks prosperous, it also hides a lot of dirt. In comparison, she prefers the current environment in the mainland. Although it is not rich, it is simple, and in this simplicity there is a spirit of tenacity and unwillingness to admit defeat.
Meng Huaiqing said, "What do you think?"
Qin Xiang spoke frankly, "It is indeed prosperous, but I still love my mainland more."
Meng Huaiqing laughed, "I also prefer the environment on the mainland. As long as you treat her well, she will give you double the reward."
Qin Xiang turned to look at him and blurted out, "That's perfect, you can just marry into the mainland."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Xiang was stunned and said hurriedly, "I'm saying..."
Meng Huaiqing put his hand over her lips to stop her from saying anything, and instead followed her words and said, "If that makes you happy, it's not impossible."
He even changed his surname to his mother's, and he didn't feel anything about marrying into the family. Instead, he felt happy. Does this mean that Qin Xiang wants to marry him?
Although marriage is not an absolute means to stabilize a relationship, it can also make two people in love more closely connected. He does not expect marriage because there was no one he loved before, and he does not want to get together with other women for money and status.
But if that woman was Qin Xiang, he would be perfectly willing.
But he also knew the wound Qin Xiang had suffered in her heart, the bloody wound that had made her lose the courage to marry anyone else. As long as she said she didn't want to get married, he would never bring up the issue in her life, but if she did, he would be happy.
Meng Huaiqing hugged her and said, "Qin Xiang, you should know that as long as I am willing, I can do anything."
Qin Xiang listened to his usual gentle voice. It would be a lie to say that she was not touched. A tingling sensation spread from her heart to the outside, almost making her blurt out "yes".
But she understood that marriage was a constraint for her now, and she didn't want to get married at the moment. But looking at Meng Huaiqing's expression, she suddenly understood. Meng Huaiqing had said before that he didn't look forward to marriage, but it didn't mean that he didn't want to get married. He just didn't want to settle when there was no suitable person.
For a moment, Qin Xiang felt that she was too cruel.
After seeing a bloody marriage, some people will be disgusted with marriage like her, while others will want a happy and warm family like Meng Huaiqing.
But she blocked this path from the very beginning, and because of her, Meng Huaiqing hid his thoughts.
Qin Xiang felt a little sad.
Meng Huaiqing is proud and has people he is proud of, yet he is so humble.
She couldn't help but ask, was she really worth it?
Her silence made Meng Huaiqing feel a little uneasy. He looked up and met Qin Xiang's slightly confused eyes. His uneasiness reached its peak. He hurriedly said, "Let's not talk about this..."
The car slowly stopped and Miao Sheng said, "Boss, we're here."
Meng Huaiqing breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's get off first."
Someone opened the car door, Meng Huaiqing bowed and went out, holding Qin Xiang's hand and went straight to the hotel.
The port city is beautiful at night, the hotels are luxurious, and there are people coming and going.
Miao Sheng handed over a mask and sunglasses. Meng Huaiqing put them on and met Qin Xiang's astonished eyes. Meng Huaiqing said helplessly, "To hide from the paparazzi."
Qin Xiang understood.
Not to mention that he has now established a firm foothold in Hong Kong with the help of technology, his identity as the eldest son of the Jiang family is enough to attract paparazzi. The paparazzi in Hong Kong are well-known throughout the country, and people in the mainland know the power of the paparazzi in Hong Kong.
The room had been prepared long ago, and the two went up to the top floor, where they found it was a suite.
Meng Huaiqing opened the curtains and said, "You can see Victoria Harbour from here."
Qin Xiang followed over to take a look and had to admit that she was very beautiful.
"It is very beautiful."
Meng Huaiqing smiled, "This hotel is mine."
Qin Xiang looked at him and gave him a thumbs up, "Great."
The hotel has 58 floors, and they are now standing on the top floor. From upstairs, they can overlook the harbor in the distance, which is peaceful and beautiful.
This is not something that can be built with ordinary funds.
Meng Huaiqing handed her a stack of information and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to buy stocks? Take a look at these."
The above are all companies with relatively good development momentum in Hong Kong, and several companies that she is familiar with and will continue to rise are also listed.
She was a little surprised. Meng Huaiqing's business was developing very well now, so why had she never heard of the name of Meng Huaiqing's company in her previous life?
It shouldn't be like that.
She was confused and her eyes were a little straight. Meng Huaiqing thought she was reading the information seriously, so he went to take a shower first.
Qin Xiang studied it for a while, circled out a few of the ones he had identified, and then placed the things there.
She originally thought that she would have to go through a lot of trouble to collect them, but now Meng Huaiqing has helped her screen them, which actually saves her a lot of trouble.
After Meng Huaiqing came out of the shower, Qin Xiang also went to take a shower. When they came out, there were many delicious dishes in the restaurant, as well as a bottle of decanted red wine.
I took a look at the bottle. It was very good, but incredibly expensive. One bottle was worth several houses.
Qin Xiang went over and poured a glass and took a sip. "If I drink this glass, will it be like drinking a house?"
Meng Huaiqing was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "It's possible."
The two laughed, and Meng Huaiqing pointed at the information and said, "Have you thought about it?"
"I've thought about it, and I've chosen those few. I'll choose two from those few."
It's not that she didn't want to buy more, but the funds she had available were limited, so she bought a batch of goods from Xiang Yanghong and Wu Gang. The New Year's gifts and bonuses all required money.
If she wants to make quick money, she must choose a few stocks that rise rapidly in a short period of time, otherwise she will not have time to watch them here.
While sipping his wine, Qin Xiang recalled the information he had seen in his previous life, wondering which companies would experience explosive growth during this period of time.
It’s a pity that there is no exact name, but these are definitely the ones in her hands.
"Sit down first and have some midnight snack."
The two ate and chatted, Qin Xiang mostly talked about what she saw and heard on the road. Meng Huaiqing said, "I suddenly regretted not coming along. It seems that life on the train is very colorful."
Qin Xiang nodded, "That's true, what a pity."
Meng Huaiqing looked at her motionless, Qin Xiang blinked, "What's wrong?"
Meng Huaiqing: "I just think you're pretty."
Qin Xiang chuckled, "Those earthy love words are a bit greasy."
Meng Huaiqing simply stopped being so greasy and took the initiative. He kissed her as soon as he put down his wine glass.
The weather was beautiful and the atmosphere was good enough, so it was natural for two people to play poker together.
Qin Xiang woke up at dawn.
Her biological clock was so scary that it completely prevented her from having the chance to sleep in.
She got up, and naturally would not let Meng Huaiqing sleep alone. She kicked Meng Huaiqing on the butt to wake him up, "I'm hungry."
Meng Huaiqing was a little confused. After a long while, he said "oh" and picked up the phone to start making a call.
Then he lay down and hugged her, "It's still early."
"It's getting late."
Meng Huaiqing hummed, "I can accompany you for a walk today."
"You're wearing a mask and walking with me?"
Qin Xiang refused, "I want to act together with everyone. Teaching them can also help us solve our problems."
She was indeed a good student, but she was still far behind the experienced professors. She might have had novel designs that were beyond reach, but she lacked the basics and details.
Meng Huaiqing accepted his fate and said, "Then we have to have breakfast together first."
More than ten minutes later, breakfast was served, the mess from last night was cleaned up, and the two sat at the dining table to enjoy a hearty breakfast.
After dinner, Meng Huaiqing personally escorted Qin Xiang over. "Can you still come tonight? I can take you there early tomorrow morning."
Seeing his eager look, and thinking that we would be separated again during the New Year, I felt a little soft-hearted, "Okay."
Meng Huaiqing laughed immediately.
Looking at his little face, Qin Xiang felt inexplicably better. She couldn't help but say, "Actually, you look really good when you smile from the heart. Before, you always looked like you were wearing a mask."
"Okay." Meng Huaiqing was in a good mood.
Qin Xiang thought of the topic they had mentioned in the car last night and asked sincerely, "Meng Huaiqing, do you really want to get married and have a warm family?"
As soon as she asked the question, Meng Huaiqing was stunned.
