Chapter 276
In addition to designing costumes, Qin Xiang also had to make wedding dresses for Zhao Qian and her third brother. The clothes were designed and cut by her, the fabrics were the best, and she sewed them herself. The first dress she made was Zhao Qian's wedding dress.
Zhao Qian is a little bit fatter than the average girl of this era. After all, her family is well-off and she can afford to eat and drink. She is also better developed than some girls who save money at home to feed their younger brothers and older brothers.
Qin Xiang must show her beauty when designing.
Marriage is a major event in one's life, and Qin Xiang dare not be careless at all.
After Meng Huaiqing finished his work in the capital, he came back, had a meal, and then returned to Gangcheng without stopping.
Qin Xiang lives here completely alone.
If the weather wasn't too hot, Qin Xiang would have planned to live in the factory. Now that she was bored being alone, she simply called everyone in their dormitory over.
Unexpectedly, Fei Qing came over with two other designers and brought some new design drafts for Qin Xiang to look at.
Zhao Wenna said, "We've already discussed and revised these. You can take another look at them and they'll be finalized."
Qin Xiang took it and looked through it. It was indeed quite good. After carefully examining it and finding a few issues, she finalized the draft. The final draft was then handed over to the factory. The autumn collection would be produced first, and then the winter collection would be produced when the new products came out. Winter was a long season, but the peak season for clothing sales was just before the Lunar New Year.
Rich or poor, everyone goes home to celebrate the New Year. No matter where they are, everyone attaches great importance to the New Year. No one doesn't want to go home dressed beautifully, so clothing sales will be particularly good before the New Year.
Qin Xiang sent the manuscripts back to the factory and went to Professor Sun again. There were quite a few manuscripts on Professor Sun's desk, all of which had been revised.
Qin Xiang was extremely grateful, "Professor Sun, thank you."
Professor Sun glanced at her and said, "This is mutually beneficial."
Qin Xiang laughed and paid the agreed balance to Professor Sun, who then asked what was different about this trip to Hong Kong.
After pondering for a moment, Qin Xiang replied, "The pace of life in Hong Kong is very fast, much faster than here. The changes are also huge, and it seems to be changing every day."
"What else?" Professor Sun continued, "How do you think it compares to the mainland?"
Qin Xiang didn't even think about answering, "Of course, our mainland is better. It's like a master chef choosing an apprentice. One is a mature and established person, and the other is a child who is still growing and very smart and perceptive. I believe the master chef will definitely choose the child. And our mainland is the child. After the reform and opening up, the economy has developed rapidly. We are not as good as the port city now, but our mainland is vast and has many coastal cities and ports, rich in resources. The port city is just a small place, even if it develops further, it will be just that."
Professor Sun was quite satisfied after hearing this and laughed, "I thought you would be with your partner in Hong Kong City from now on."
Qin Xiang raised an eyebrow. "Then why isn't he with me in the mainland? He's much smarter than we thought. I can see the development prospects of the mainland, how could he not? When I met him, he had already invested all over the mainland."
"Then all the money in our mainland has been earned by you two." Professor Sun joked.
Qin Xiang was happy, "I've been looking forward to this day, so I can become the richest man in the country."
To be honest, she felt quite excited when she thought of this word.
This year she has invested a lot of money in the Hong Kong stock market. If she succeeds this time, she may really become a rich woman. She may not become the richest person in the country, but she may have no problem becoming the richest person in the province.
Thinking about this, when I left Professor Sun's house, I called to ask about the situation on Miss Chen's side.
Ms. Chen had a complicated expression. "Ms. Qin, which stocks do you think will rise next?"
Qin Xiang was stunned. Miss Chen said, "The stock you asked me to buy later has started to rise again."
Qin Xiang was happy when he heard this. "It's a bull market now, and the rise is not normal. No matter which stock I buy, it will probably rise."
Qin Xiang had thought about reminding shareholders through the media, but it was probably useless. Who would believe you if you had no factual basis? They might even think that you were deliberately forcing others to withdraw so that you could take the lead.
Think about the situation after the stock market crash... can't even think about it.
Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. All she could do was mind her own business.
After hanging up the phone, Qin Xiang went back and shared the design drafts with everyone, and then divided the work to redraw the design drafts that Professor Sun pointed out problems with and marked the dimensions.
It took several days for the team to complete the revision. Qin Xiang got on his motorcycle and prepared to go to the factory to check out the situation there.
When they arrived at the factory, Mi Hongjun was not there. Tan Xiu brought the people she brought with her to have an exchange with Qin Xiang. If there was no problem, she would be the manager of the human resources department in the future, while Tan Xiu would be in charge of the development department and would lead the team to develop new stores.
Before implementing the franchise stores, Qin Xiang still planned to cast a wide net in opening stores, and if he could buy a storefront, he would buy it. If he couldn't, he would buy a house facing the street and apply for reconstruction himself.
In short, you never have too much real estate, and I aspire to become a real estate expert.
In a hurry, August soon came to the end. Taking advantage of the time before school started, Qin Xiang went back to the provincial capital and brought back the wedding dresses of Zhao Qian and her third brother.
The dress fits Zhao Qian very well, highlighting her advantages and making her face look particularly fair.
Zhao Qian liked it very much and said happily, "It's so beautiful. I have attended so many weddings in the provincial capital, but I have never seen such a beautiful wedding dress."
"Of course, this is something I designed and made bit by bit." Seeing the clothes she designed being worn on the other person, Qin Xiang felt a sense of pride that made her excited.
Zhao Qian pursed her lips and smiled, "Qin Xiang, thank you."
"You're still polite to me." Qin Xiang smiled, and Zhao Qian also smiled.
She hugged Qin Xiang and said, "I'm so lucky to have met people like you. My mother used to worry that I would be bullied to death after getting married because of my personality, but now I'm not afraid at all."
"You have to tell yourself that you are great."
Zhao Qian laughed, "I've always been pretty good."
But in fact, no one was optimistic about her when she first got together with Qin Yang because of Qin Yang's facial features. Many people thought that Qin Yang looked fierce and might even be a wife beater. Even her parents directly and frankly expressed their disapproval to her.
But she loved him very much, and Qin Yang was really good to her. As time went by, they became inseparable from each other. Later, Qin Yang went to talk to her parents, and unexpectedly, her parents agreed.
As for what other people think, she doesn't want to care.
Because of this, her cousin Huang Rong gossiped to her a lot, but love is like drinking water, only the person who drinks it knows whether it is hot or cold, so as long as she feels happy, that's all that matters.
The two of them had been together for so long, and Qin Yang had never yelled at her, let alone spoken loudly. When she was with him, she felt particularly at ease and happy.
There was no problem with Zhao Qian's dress, but there was no way to try Qin Yang's on. She could only put it aside and wait for Qin Yang to come back and try it on.
After delivering the clothes, Qin Xiang went to see Aunt Cao again.
Aunt Cao and her family are living a smooth life in the provincial capital. They have opened a snack bar, and the business is no worse than when the fourth sister opened the braised meat shop. Although it is summer vacation, nearby residents also come to buy.
Aunt Cao took Qin Xiang's hand and said, "Qin Xiang, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, our family would really be finished."
"Auntie, don't say that. It's all because of your hard work that we have such a good life now." Qin Xiang looked around the shop and was genuinely happy.
Aunt Cao clapped her hands and said, "Sit down first. I'll bring you some food."
"Okay." Qin Xiang didn't hesitate and sat there waiting. After a while, Aunt Cao brought out four dishes, all of which were specially made for Qin Xiang by her daughter-in-law.
Qin Xiang was surprised, "Why are there so many?"
"Not much, just a few dishes. We should have treated you to a meal at the hotel, so making you four dishes is nothing." Aunt Cao sat down across from her, poured her a glass of water, and brought Zhao Ping a bottle of soda. Then she said, "Let me tell you, we're now setting up a night market in the square at night, making some wraps and other things. Your sister-in-law learned this skill in Tengzhou, and business is booming. During the day, your brother Tieshu makes pancakes and your sister-in-law cooks, so we're making quite a bit of money."
Hearing her say this, Qin Xiang was also happy for them.
They are all people who work hard for a living, and she respects and admires everyone who works hard.
Aunt Cao continued, "By the way, your sister's ex-husband came to the provincial capital to look for them again, bringing a woman with him. It seems that they can't have children, so he still wants to take Nian Nian back."
Qin Xiang couldn't help but frown when she heard this. Last time, Gao Yulan failed to rob him openly, but now she dared to come again. It seemed that she was not taught a lesson enough.
Fortunately, her fourth sister and her mother had gone to the capital. The capital was so big that it wouldn't be easy for Zhao Qianjin to find someone. And even if he did find someone, there was no need to be afraid. The fourth sister nowadays was not someone to be trifled with.
As expected, Aunt Cao asked, "You haven't found your fourth sister yet?"
"No," Qin Xiang said, "She opened a braised meat shop that sells to schools and nearby residents. Business is very busy, but she's a little more relaxed during the summer vacation. She's taking her children around the capital and doesn't seem to be in a hurry."
Aunt Cao sighed, "You two sisters, I don't know what to say. You say you're unlucky, but that's only in terms of marriage. In life, you're both capable people."
She paused and said, "Good people are rewarded. Auntie believes that you will have a good life in the future."
After leaving Aunt Cao's place, Qin Xiang walked down the street. Students were gradually returning to school. She stopped by the branch to take a look and almost scared the two shop assistants.
Fortunately, the two shop assistants were serious and responsible. She just gave them some encouragement, asked about the situation, and left quickly.
The provincial capital is where she made her fortune and she still has deep feelings for this place.
After walking for a while, Zhao Ping said, "There's a woman over there looking at you."
Qin Xiang looked over and couldn't help rolling her eyes.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Wang Junsheng's sister-in-law Cai Hongyan. Cai Hongyan still had wavy hair, wore a bright red dress, and seemed to have put on makeup on her face. Not to mention, she looked a lot younger than before.
Seeing that she had been discovered, Cai Hongyan didn't hide anymore and came over in her high heels. "Qin Xiang, I didn't expect it was really you. I saw a figure from a distance and wondered why this person looked like Qin Xiang. I didn't expect it to be. Why did you come to the provincial capital? When did you come?"
Qin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "So many questions, which one do you want me to answer first?"
"Hey, come on, let me treat you to a meal. There's a really good little restaurant here."
Seeing Cai Hongyan pulling her towards Cao's shop over there, she hurriedly said, "I just came out of their shop, so I won't go there anymore."
"Then let's..." She looked around and saw a park nearby, and said hurriedly, "Let's go to the park and chat for a while. I have a lot of gossip to tell you."
Qin Xiang was speechless, "You actually want to tell me gossip?"
"Yeah, it's good to find someone to talk to. I don't want to talk to anyone else, so I just want to talk to you." After saying that, Cai Hongyan didn't let Qin Xiang go, and pulled Qin Xiang over there.
Qin Xiang and her friend's flight was at 7pm, and it was still early, so they just followed Cai Hongyan.
It was cooler in the park, so the two of them found a bench with shade and sat down. Zhao Ping stood under a tree not far away.
Cai Hongyan said, "That's definitely not your partner, right?"
Qin Xiang shook her head, "No."
"bodyguard?"
Qin Xiang laughed, "Oh, even the bodyguards know about it, you're really capable."
"That's right." Cai Hongyan said with a bit of complacency, "Let me tell you, I'm a boss now, so I'll hire a bodyguard in the future."
When she said that, Qin Xiang became curious. "What are you doing now?"
Cai Hongyan said, "What else can I do? I still make small accessories like socks, but I don't do it in the countryside anymore. I'm now working in the provincial capital. I set up a night market in the big square next to your store. I also opened a store near the university town, specializing in student business. I sell girls' underwear, socks, small hairpins, and other miscellaneous items. Business is pretty good."
Qin Xiang knew she was doing a good job when she saw the smile on her face.
Cai Hongyan could be said to be the most decisive woman she had ever known.
Back when she was at the Wang family, she was Cui Lianhua's pistol. She would shoot wherever Cui Lianhua pointed, and she was more competitive than anyone else. Later, when she was reselling Xiangyanghong's clothes, she came up to her, and unexpectedly, she made her way all the way from the rural market to the provincial capital.
Cai Hongyan was a little proud. "Let me tell you, I bought a house too. Even though it's just a small building, at least I have a household registration, and my children can go to school."
Qin Xiang said sincerely, "Congratulations."
Cai Hongyan said happily, "I have to thank you. It was you who gave me the opportunity back then. Otherwise, I would have to work in the fields and look after that old woman for the rest of my life."
Speaking of this, Cai Hongyan couldn't help but gossip with her, "You definitely don't know, Cui Lianhua and that old guy were thrown on the train by Wang Junsheng and his wife and brought back. There was a commotion at the provincial capital train station. It is said that they made a commotion all the way on the train. They said that Wang Junsheng brought them on the train and lied to them that he was taking them to the south. As a result, Wang Junsheng got off the train halfway under the pretext of going to the toilet and never got back on. They went all the way to the provincial capital. They made a commotion here too. If they weren't so old and paralyzed, they would have been taken to the police station directly. Or they checked the letter of introduction and called the township directly. The township went to the countryside to look for someone. In the end, we didn't go home, so they asked the second son to follow Wang Fusheng to take the two away."
Cai Hongyan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, I was so cunning as to not tell the villagers our exact location in the provincial capital, otherwise those two old guys would have blamed us."
"So they didn't come looking for you again?"
Cai Hongyan was even more proud when she talked about this. "It's the same thing. The villagers only know that we are doing business in the provincial capital, but I haven't even told my family where we are, let alone the villagers. We don't plan to go back. What if we go back and get stuck? I heard that they are living with the second brother's family now. Anyway, they are not happy. By the way, Wang Xiao is still unmarried. With parents like her, no one in the surrounding villages is willing to propose marriage. They say she went to the south to work again, and no one knows what she is doing."
Qin Xiang had no reaction to her actions. How they treated their parents-in-law was their own business and had nothing to do with her. Whatever retribution Cui Lianhua and her husband had suffered was their own fault.
Cai Hongyan snorted and said, "My husband does want to go back to visit, but I told him directly that if he dares to go back, I will divorce him. Now I stay at home honestly to take care of the children, wash clothes and cook."
Qin Xiang couldn't help but admire, "Awesome."
Cai Hongyan ended up feeling embarrassed. "It's nothing, I'm just learning from you. At the time, I thought, I can't make a fortune like you, so I'll just make a little. You bought so many houses, so there must be a reason. If I have money, I'll do the same. To be honest, I came out today to look at houses. I'll buy another one if I have the chance, and I'll try to get one for each of my children."
She waved her hand and said, "Buy a set for my daughter as a dowry, and see who dares to look down on her."
Seeing Cai Hongyan excitedly talking about her plan, Qin Xiang couldn't help but praise her: "Amazing."
Cai Hongyan chuckled and said, "So I still have to thank you. I am following your path."
Qin Xiang shook her head. "No, it's no secret that I'm taking this path. Many people know about it, but who else besides you has taken this step?"
What happened in Wangjiazhuang had nothing to do with her. As for the people in Qinjiatun, aside from her second aunt who asked her to bring Qin Zhen out, they were still farming in the countryside. Other villagers had changed, but they'd mostly been working outside or working for construction teams. No one had really taken the initiative to start their own business.
Cai Hongyan said that she followed her. It may be remarkable that she has reached this point. Cai Hongyan did not go to school when she was a child and could hardly read. Now she is planning to buy a second house. Some city people may not even have a second house.
So she really admires Cai Hongyan.
Qin Xiang thought about the future and said to her, "You're right. Houses will become increasingly popular in the future. Also, the houses we bought now are quite old. They might have to be demolished and rebuilt in the future. So, should we give everyone new houses to live in or pay for them?"
Cai Hongyan's eyes lit up when she heard this, "So buying a house can actually preserve its value."
Qin Xiang smiled, she stood up and said, "Work hard, life won't be too bad if you work hard."
Cai Hongyan nodded hurriedly, "I'll listen to you."
Sure enough, every time I see Qin Xiang, I always hear useful news. The last time I met Qin Xiang in the car, she decided to develop in the city. Unexpectedly, the effect was good. Now Qin Xiang said that houses maintain their value, so she will make money and buy houses, buy a lot of them, one for each child, and then the couple will pay attention to buy another one.
Delicious.
After saying goodbye to Cai Hongyan, Qin Xiang and Zhao Ping returned to the shop on the other side of the square.
Now the second floor has been empty and no one lives there. The things inside were bought by her and her third brother. Now there is nothing inside except dust.
After chatting with Qu Hanxiao for a while, Qin Xiang found that Qu Hanxiao was also a talented person. She glanced at the account book and found that there were not many old items squeezed out, which meant that she had cleared them out in time.
Qin Xiang thought, "Are you willing to go to the capital?"
"Go to the capital?" Qu Hanxiao was also surprised.
Qin Xiang nodded and said, "The sales department is short of staff right now. If you're willing to go, go and help Mi Hongjun."
Mi Hongjun did bring an assistant before, but the effect was not ideal. The girl was a little eager for quick success and instant benefits. Qin Xiang did not plan to use her and was preparing to choose someone new.
I didn't expect that we have a candidate now. Qu Hanxiao was brought up by Tan Xiu and she has very good professional skills.
Even if you don't go to the sales department, you can go to the human resources department to train new employees.
When the franchise stores are established in the future, Qu Hanxiao can provide special training to the franchisees.
Qu Hanxiao rubbed his hands and said, "I have to go home and discuss it."
"Okay, there's no rush. Take your time to think about it. If you're willing, then bring in new people as soon as possible and train them before going over."
Qu Hanxiao nodded hurriedly.
She knew that this was an opportunity given to her by her boss, and it depended on her whether she could seize it.
She was very tempted, but she still had to go home to convince her family.
At that time, Qin Xiang and Zhao Ping had a quick meal and then flew back to the capital.
Thanks again to Mr. Meng Huaiqing. If it weren't for Mr. Meng Huaiqing, she would have to travel back and forth on the green train.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when we arrived in the capital.
Qin Xiang asked Zhao Ping to go back and rest early, and she went to bed quickly.
Zhao Wenna and others had ended their vacation early and returned to school to prepare for the start of school. Qin Xiang rested for two days and it was time for school to start.
Junior year has begun.
