Chapter 271
The world is so big and full of strange things. The man who is being robbed comes right in front of me.
Qin Xiang was speechless.
Without waiting for Qin Xiang to get angry, nor for Meng Huaiqing to react.
Chen Daoxun pulled Chen Jiamin over and said, "Why don't you call me sister?"
Chen Jiamin shyly stepped forward, bowed to Qin Xiang, and said respectfully, "Sister."
Qin Xiang was bewildered. Meng Huaiqing's expression had turned pale. "What is Boss Chen doing?"
"Marriage is paramount in our city of Hong Kong. Connecting two businesses allows them to reach new heights together." Chen Daoxun's face was filled with a smile as he continued, "Jiamin has been smart and cautious since childhood, and has been raised with a socialite education. She's willing to marry Boss Meng as his second wife, further strengthening the bond between our two families." How do you think?
Qin Xiang's eyes widened in disbelief.
This father took the initiative to bring his daughter to live with someone as a second wife?
And she is Meng Huaiqing’s second wife?
No wonder she is called sister.
Qin Xiang couldn't help but ask, "Does that mean that if a mother becomes a concubine, then her daughter must also become a concubine?"
When she said this, Chen Daoxun and Chen Jiamin were stunned and looked angry.
Chen Daoxun stopped Chen Jiamin and looked at Qin Xiang gently, saying, "Miss Qin is very tolerant and generous. She certainly won't care about this, right?"
"No, I don't care." Qin Xiang answered honestly, "My man can only belong to me, and I can sleep with him alone. No one else can."
Chen Daoxun's mouth twitched. He didn't know where Meng Huaiqing had found this girlfriend. I heard she was a businessman in mainland China. With such a character, was she qualified to be a businessman? She would definitely offend all her customers. She wouldn't talk at all.
But they had anticipated these things before coming, and sending Chen Jiamin here as a second wife was a decision their family made after careful consideration.
Although Meng Huaiqing stopped his actions after apologizing that day, another force suddenly emerged, seizing the Chen family's shares. The Chen family also had many problems within it. How could it withstand such a turmoil? After much deliberation and consulting Chen Jiamin, this situation had occurred. Otherwise, how could such a prominent Hong Kong socialite become someone's second wife? It would be ridiculous.
But the current situation does not allow it, so I can't care about that.
Besides, it wouldn't be considered an insult to her daughter to be the second wife of a man like Meng Huaiqing. It's just that Meng Huaiqing's girlfriend is really not presentable.
Chen Daoxun's mouth twitched as he analyzed the pros and cons for Qin Xiang. "Boss Meng hasn't spent much time in Gangcheng yet. After the two families marry, we'll be able to help keep an eye on his business in Gangcheng when he goes to the mainland. That'll give him more peace of mind, don't you think? It'll also be beneficial for Miss Qin."
Qin Xiang curled her lips, "So what you mean is that Meng Huaiqing and I share a family on the mainland, and when we return to Hong Kong City, we become family with your daughter, and you still want me to get along with her?"
Chen Daoxun nodded with satisfaction, "That's what I mean."
"You think I'm stupid," Qin Xiang retorted bluntly. "I won't agree. He'll be my man, whether in Hong Kong or on the mainland. I'll have a share of all the business, whether on the mainland or in Hong Kong. If I do that, wouldn't I be destroying my own Great Wall and giving away what should belong to me to others?"
Chen Daoxun's mouth tightened, "That's Boss Meng's property."
"What belongs to Meng Huaiqing is mine. If you don't believe me, ask him. I'm asking him for all his property now, and he has to give it to me."
After Qin Xiang finished speaking, Chen Daoxun actually glanced at Meng Huaiqing.
Just this one glance made Chen Daoxun's heart skip a beat.
Meng Huaiqing had a doting smile on his face. He didn't care about Qin Xiang's rudeness at all. He nodded when he heard it, "Yes, I am yours. What's more, I will give you all the things you want. Then I will work for you and you support me."
Tsk tsk, when these words came out, Qin Xiang got goose bumps all over his body.
The Chen family's father and daughter had already come here with sullen faces, and now they are shocked by what they heard.
Chen Daoxun chuckled, "Boss Meng just knows how to joke."
Meng Huaiqing raised his eyebrows. "Am I kidding? No, as long as she is willing, I can transfer the shares today."
He said it very seriously. Chen Daoxun's heart sank immediately. He turned to look at Qin Xiang and said, "Miss Qin, you might as well think about it on the bright side. One more ally is always better than one more enemy. As long as Miss Qin agrees to this, my Jiamin will definitely follow Miss Qin's lead in the future."
As long as they can agree, who cares what they said today. Once they really get in, Gangcheng will be their territory. No matter how powerful Qin Xiang is, can he still come to Gangcheng to cause bloodshed?
As for Meng Huaiqing, there is no man who doesn't like beauty. Although his Jiamin is not as pretty as Qin Xiang, she is also a very rare beauty, and she is charming and pleasing to others. He is not worried at all that Jiamin will not be able to win Meng Huaiqing's heart.
Qin Xiang shook her head. "Sorry, I don't need it, but you can ask Boss Meng, maybe he needs it."
After kicking the ball to Meng Huaiqing, Qin Xiang sat down to eat watermelon.
The watermelon was cut into small pieces with toothpicks stuck in them. Qin Xiang couldn't help but say, "Next time, cut it into smaller pieces."
Meng Huaiqing looked at her and said, "Okay, my queen."
The two of them enjoyed doing this and showed their affection in front of Chen's father and daughter, not caring whether their words caused others discomfort.
Turning his head, Meng Huaiqing looked at Chen Daoxun, "Boss Chen hasn't left yet?"
Chen Daoxun smiled awkwardly, "Boss Meng, you might want to reconsider..."
"Haven't you seen the news? I'm henpecked and a gigolo." Meng Huaiqing's smile didn't reach his eyes, "So I don't have the ability to marry a second wife. I can't take care of it."
Wait until the two of them leave.
Qin Xiang sat on the sofa and laughed so hard that she fell backwards.
"Meng Huaiqing, someone has given you a second wife, and it's a professional second wife."
Meng Huaiqing had no choice but to feed her the watermelon, "Have you laughed enough?"
Qin Xiang laughed for a long time before stopping, "I've laughed enough."
But I really couldn't help but say, "You missed out on a great beauty. You also missed out on the opportunity to manage a business."
Meng Huaiqing was speechless. "If you laugh again, I'll take care of you right here."
Qin Xiang rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's still unclear who will take care of whom."
Don't talk big. Boss Meng, when he gets crazy, is a jackal that can never be fed.
The two have been together for a long time and have become accustomed to each other's presence. Thinking that they will be separated tomorrow, they feel really reluctant.
Meng Huaiqing hugged her and said, "I really don't want you to leave."
Qin Xiang said without conscience, "Then you can go back with me."
"You know it's impossible." Meng Huaiqing said, "Wait until I get back."
Qin Xiang said, "Oh."
In the end, the two couldn't help but have another intimate contact.
After midnight, Qin Xiang fell asleep, and Meng Huaiqing sat in the living room making a phone call.
"Uncle Zhao, sell all of the Chen family's stocks on October 15th."
Zhao Mingqian wasn't surprised. "Have you decided?"
"certainly."
Zhao Mingqian didn't know when the stock market crash would come, but Meng Huaiqing trusted Qin Xiang. No one would disbelieve it on such a clear date.
Since the Chen family is so idle, let them be idle for a while.
The Chen family’s good days in Hong Kong City are coming to an end.
There are also Jiang Licheng and his wife.
How could that woman vent her anger just by having Qin Xiang beat her up?
Africa is a pretty good place. Let's go there to provide aid and reconstruction. It's a contribution to the country.
The work was arranged until late at night. The next morning, Meng Huaiqing deliberately did not go to the company, but drove to see Qin Xiang off.
After leaving, Miao Sheng handed over a newspaper. A photo of Chen Jiayuan apologizing to Qin Xiang was prominently featured on the front page. The photo was taken facing Chen Jiayuan's face, while Qin Xiang's back was only visible.
Qin Xiang was amused. "Can sales go up?"
Miao Sheng said, "It will definitely be a big hit. Lately, no celebrity in the entertainment industry is as famous as you and Miss Qin."
Qin Xiang didn't care about this. She was relieved to hear that it would sell well. She joked, "Does this count as helping you make money?"
This was said to Meng Huaiqing.
Meng Huaiqing nodded, "Of course. Then I must show my appreciation and give you some endorsement fees."
Qin Xiang stretched out her hand, "Okay."
Meng Huaiqing simply handed her the wallet and said, "Take whatever you want."
"How generous." Qin Xiang opened her wallet and was stunned.
Inside was a two-inch photo of Qin Xiang. The photo should have been taken when she had just entered college. She was facing the camera with a smile, a ponytail, and looked young and beautiful.
Qin Xiang looked at him unkindly, "Where did you come from?"
Meng Huaiqing curled his lips and said, "Third brother gave it to me."
Qin Xiang was speechless, "So you have conquered my third brother now?"
"It's our third brother." Meng Huaiqing corrected her, not feeling embarrassed at all about calling someone younger than himself "third brother".
This time when he passed by the provincial capital, he had a conversation with Qin Yang and said goodbye to him.
Qin Xiang rarely takes photos, and he doesn't have any individual photos of himself, so this one is very precious to Meng Huaiqing, who keeps it in his wallet.
Qin Xiang pursed her lips and said, "But I don't have yours."
"I'll give it to you next time." Meng Huaiqing said, "How about we go take pictures together later?"
Qin Xiang looked at him, "Shadow Studio Style?"
"Any wind will do."
After passing the customs, Fei Qing said, "Mr. Meng was watching you the whole time."
Qin Xiang nodded but didn't turn around.
Fei Qing envied him again, "You two have such a good relationship."
Qin Xiang laughed. They really had a good relationship.
That's because both of them know what the other needs. Even if there is a dispute, they can quickly realize who is at fault and adjust themselves in time.
This is respect for each other.
She probably saved the galaxy, which allowed her to meet a man like this.
Thinking about my previous marriage, it seems like a lifetime ago.
Arriving in Pengcheng feels like arriving in another world.
Today, Shenzhen is still under vigorous construction. There are many construction vehicles and large trucks on the roads. Construction sites of buildings can be seen everywhere, workers coming and going, and leaders inspecting from time to time.
Who could have imagined that in twenty or thirty years, Shenzhen's development would become internationalized, and even the current prosperous port city would pale in comparison.
Qin Xiang said, "You will meet someone like this in the future."
Fei Qing laughed and said, "We'll talk about the future later."
In fact, Fei Qing originally had a boyfriend, but after graduation, her boyfriend wanted to return to his hometown. Fei Qing was not willing to go, so the two broke up.
The two of them walked around Pengcheng, and Qin Xiang went to see the branch that Tan Xiu had chosen at that time. The location was not bad, but the clothing industry here was developing very well, so Qin Xiang was just here to stake out his territory.
I took a bus from Shenzhen to Guangzhou, and then went to Yimei Garment Factory in Guangzhou.
When I got there, I found that the factory was gone.
I found a phone booth nearby and called Mi Hongjun to ask, only to find out that Wu Gang's factory had moved a long time ago. It was not far from here. When I got there, I found that the factory was even bigger.
As soon as I entered, I saw a truck being loaded and Liu Minjun watching from the side.
When he saw Qin Xiang and the others come in, he was stunned for a moment, then came over and said with a smile, "Director Qin, what brings you here? Long time no see."
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "If I hadn't come here soon, I wouldn't have known where you guys had moved to, and it would have been hard for me to find you."
Liu Minjun couldn't help but laugh, "You are a forgetful person. I told you at the time, so I don't know whether they didn't tell you or you forgot."
Qin Xiang said hurriedly, "I must have forgotten. By the way, are Director Wu and Engineer Jiao here?"
"Here they are! I'll take you inside to find them." Liu Minjun shouted at the top of her voice, "Director, we have guests."
Wu Gang came out of the office and was so excited to see Qin Xiang, "Director Qin, you're finally here."
Then Jiao Junxi also came out of the office. Jiao Junxi, who was engaged in high-tech design, still didn't care much about his appearance and was a little shy. When he saw Qin Xiang, it was obvious that he was very happy.
After they entered the room, Qin Xiang emphasized the importance of introducing Fei Qing to Jiao Junxi. "This is Fei Qing, the designer of our factory. She is also a graduate of the Capital Academy of Fine Arts."
As soon as she introduced the designer, Jiao Junxi's eyes immediately shifted to Fei Qing.
Designers have more things to talk about. Qin Xiang introduced Jiao Junxi to Fei Qing on the way. Fei Qing understood Qin Xiang's intention, so she went with Jiao Junxi to share her experiences and her designs.
Jiao Junxi's clothing design is very mature and his style is very diverse. In Qin Xiang's words, having Jiao Junxi is equivalent to having a team of designers.
In short, some people are born to be designers, such as Zhao Wenna and Jiao Junxi.
There is no harm in communicating with such people.
As for Qin Xiang, she can no longer be called a qualified designer. She is more concerned about the issue of interests. It is good to communicate with Jiao Junxi, but it always feels inappropriate and a bit blasphemous.
Wu Gang smiled and said, "I heard that your factory is shipping a lot right now. I'm so envious."
Qin Xiang was amused and glanced at him. "What are you envious of? You built a factory like this quietly. I don't believe you don't have any ideas. I saw that there are several small garment factories around here."
"You really understand me." Wu Gang laughed, not hiding his ambition at all. "I'm planning to take over several small factories around here. I recently got in touch with your old friend Guan Zhibin. He introduced me to his cousin, and then through some twists and turns, I got to know the officials from the National Development and Reform Commission. Although Yangcheng is developing rapidly, that's the urban area. We still need to develop the suburbs. We don't want land in the industrial park. We'd rather stay far away and stay in the suburbs."
Qin Xiang understood that this was an attempt to gain policy support.
Qin Xiang also thought of his own idea. Opening a factory in Yong'an was the first step, but the second step was to open a factory in Pengcheng.
Before Pengcheng is fully developed, get a piece of land, build a branch factory, build buildings or shopping malls or budget hotels, anything will do.
There was no inflation during this period, so money really worked.
Qin Xiang asked him what he thought. Wu Gang hesitated. "You mean Pengcheng? To be honest, Xiao Jiao has also suggested it, but I'm always worried. Will it work there? I always feel it won't last as long as Guangzhou. After all, Guangzhou has been a developed place throughout history."
"Then you should listen carefully to his opinions." Qin Xiang had a good impression of Wu Gang and they had cooperated well in the past two years, so she didn't mind saying more.
"Wu Ge, you have made a mistake now, and you may not realize it."
Wu Gang was surprised. "What's the problem?"
Qin Xiang laughed and said, "You forgot where Jiao Junxi is from and where he studied."
As soon as she reminded him, Wu Gang also fell into deep thought.
Qin Xiang continued, "He's lived in Hong Kong for so many years. The city's customs and culture are deeply ingrained in him. I even remember that he studied abroad. You only remember him as a technician and a designer, but you might not realize that designers must first understand the times in order to create better, more customer-acceptable designs. Design isn't something you can just sit there and think hard. You have to learn to observe and summarize."
After she finished speaking, Wu Gang asked, "So you brought this tip with you when you went to Hong Kong this time?"
"Yes, it's to let her learn and broaden her horizons. What do we bosses like most?" Qin Xiang smiled, "when the factory can create greater value. For us in the clothing industry, everything from fabrics to workmanship to style and design is essential. Employees who can create greater value are the best employees. Although Jiao Junxi is not good at speaking and has some social anxiety, he has all the necessary sensitivity. I believe you have never been to Pengcheng, right?"
Wu Gang shook his head honestly, "Really not."
Hearing this, Qin Xiang rolled her eyes at him. "It's so close, but you don't even go and take a look. Instead, you're still talking nonsense here. If you go and check it out, you'll understand why Jiao Junxi advised you to choose that place."
"Pengcheng is a place that is bound to take off and prosper. If we don't get a piece of the pie now, what will we have to do once it develops?" Qin Xiang sighed, "Once I have enough money, I will definitely go there and start a business."
Wu Gang's eyes lit up. "Are you planning to build a factory there? Do you want to cooperate?"
"What for? The two of us being the majority and second shareholders?" Qin Xiang immediately refused. "That's fine. If we continue to cooperate, I'm afraid we won't even be friends anymore."
Wu Gang actually just suggested that if they really wanted to cooperate in setting up a factory, Qin Xiang should not be chosen because this person had too much control power. If they really cooperated, he would only be able to follow orders.
The two talked about lunch, and Wu Gang invited them to the hotel for lunch. Qin Xiang said hurriedly, "Just eat in your cafeteria. I remember Minjun's cooking skills are good."
"Okay, I'll let her do it."
Before he could make any arrangements, Liu Minjun came in. "Director, Director Qin, I've prepared lunch. Let's eat here. I've recently researched a few new Sichuan dishes. Director Qin will definitely like them."
Qin Xiang smiled, "As expected, Minjun is the one who wins my heart the most. How about coming with me? I'll give you a high price and let you be my assistant exclusively. How about that?"
This made Liu Minjun laugh, but she waved her hand, "Forget it, I'm getting married soon and I can't bear to leave here."
As he spoke, his eyes turned directly towards Wu Gang.
Qin Xiang was a little surprised. These two got together?
But she remembered that Wu Gang was married?
Wu Gang stood up and said, "Let's go, let's eat and talk."
After leaving the house, Wu Gang said, "Don't listen to her nonsense. She talks nonsense all the time. I'm so much older than her, how could it be possible?"
Qin Xiang started gossiping, "So are you married or not?"
"Married, then divorced." Wu Gang sighed. "The year I left home to work, my wife started dating someone else and divorced. Now, this girl is constantly on the move. I tried to match her up with Junxi, but they turned out to be crazy when they saw each other."
At this time, Fei Qing and Jiao Junxi also came together. They had lunch in the factory, and in the afternoon they went to see the goods being shipped and the next designs, and left the factory before dark.
After returning to the city, Qin Xiang took Fei Qing to the night market. After visiting the night market and the shopping mall, it was almost ten o'clock when they came back. She was still there asking Fei Qing what she had found.
Fei Qing said, "There are many imitations, and the quality varies."
Qin Xiang smiled and nodded, "Then what do you think is the most important thing about clothes?"
Fei Qing thought for a moment and said, "Fabric design and workmanship."
"You forgot one thing, about sales and the sales environment," Qin Xiang said. "You can't get the same price out of clothes sold at the night market. Street vendors might be able to fetch a high price at department store counters, but of course, this path won't last long. It might seem like sales at the night market are good, but to last, you have to be the original, the first to try. Reap the first wave of profits and quickly launch new products. While street vendors are still learning, we've already started with new styles."
After the class, Qin Xiang went to bed comfortably, but Fei Qing thought about it for half the night.
She understood that Qin Xiang went to such great lengths to take her to visit Hong Kong and Guangzhou. The purpose was to train her, broaden her horizons, and allow her to design better works.
Thinking back to her six months of internship at her previous company, she learned nothing useful except how to serve tea and read people's faces. Occasionally, she'd come up with a good design and show it to the director, but he might not even glance at it, saying, "Got it, leave it there," and then it would fall into oblivion.
How long had she been at the Aimei Garment Factory? After several of her designs had been discussed and revised, they were already ready-made and on sale.
In order to improve her business ability, the boss personally took her to study.
The next day, they still went to Guangzhou. There were so many places to visit in Guangzhou. Qin Xiang hadn't been there for a while, so she could make new discoveries when she visited again.
Two days later, the two flew to Hangzhou for a new round of study.
