Chapter 291
But everyone soon realized it was a misunderstanding, because the person standing in the front was Miao Sheng.
Miao Sheng came closer and nodded slightly, "Miss Qin, your husband is busy and can't come over, so let me come and take you over."
Qin Xiang didn't care about it and nodded, "Let's go."
After getting in the car, Qin Xiang found that the car was heading to Meng Huaiqing's residential area. She asked, "Is the house renovated?"
"It has been renovated, and Mr. Qin's house has also been renovated." Miao Sheng talked about the things here again, and only then did he know that the shopping mall that Meng Huaiqing had planned to build was ready to start construction.
It is not suitable to start work when it is freezing cold in the north, so people have to take a holiday early before the New Year every year. However, the climate in the south is warm, so people can work until the end of the year. Moreover, Meng Huaiqing always asks for high wages, and if he coordinates with the engineering team, no one will be unhappy.
Qin Xiang had to admire Meng Huaiqing's keen sense of time. She had lived a lifetime and gained more experience and vision, but she still had to grope her way across the river. But Meng Huaiqing relied on himself step by step to reach his current position.
She didn't even know how many factories Meng Huaiqing had in the mainland. Just these real estate projects, each one was a huge building that was out of reach.
While Qin Xiang was sighing, the car entered the residential complex and stopped in the central area. Miao Sheng opened the door and said, "The master is waiting for you at home."
Qin Xiang was a little suspicious. If he wasn't busy, why did he come here again?
When she reached the door, Miao Sheng had already left with his men.
Qin Xiang went over and knocked on the door, only to find it was not closed, which made her even more puzzled.
The house is well decorated, and the large floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room let in sunlight, making the house very bright.
The range hood in the kitchen was buzzing, and Qin Xiangren couldn't help laughing.
She went to the kitchen and saw Meng Huaiqing wearing an apron and frying steak. When he saw her coming, he smiled and said, "I knew you were almost here. It will be ready soon."
Even though it's a meal for two, you don't need to prepare a lot: steak, pasta, caviar, and a vegetable soup.
"Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner." Meng Huaiqing was about to untie his apron, but Qin Xiang stopped him, "No, just keep it on."
Meng Huaiqing raised an eyebrow and did not take it off as he was told. Instead, he kept it on and went straight to the restaurant.
Qin Xiang came out after washing her hands and hugged him from behind, "If you continue like this, I will become more and more dependent on you."
Meng Huaiqing laughed, "Are you so easy to please? If I had known this would happen, I would have cooked a few more meals."
He turned around, bent down and kissed her gently. Qin Xiang responded, but her stomach was rumbling.
Meng Huaiqing let go of her and took a deep breath. "Eat first, I'll go wash my hands."
It took me a long time to come back after washing my hands.
The red wine was poured, and the lights in the restaurant were not turned on, so the warm sunlight was the best light.
For example, Western food. In fact, Qin Xiang prefers Chinese food, but it’s nice to change the taste occasionally.
After lunch, Qin Xiang took the initiative to wash the dishes.
Meng Huaiqing came out and was fiddling with a large object.
Qin Xiang's eyebrows jumped. Oh, a mobile phone.
This is really a rare item. In my previous life, it was in 1987 when the mainland had its first mobile phone. It was said that such a thing cost 12,000 yuan, and the installation fee was another 6,000 yuan, and the monthly rental fee was more than 100 yuan.
This is not something that ordinary people can use. After all, even if they can afford it, not everyone can afford the monthly rent of more than one hundred yuan.
Rich people's stuff.
However, Meng Huaiqing is not someone who is short of money, so it is useless for her to think about money.
Meng Huaiqing saw her coming and raised his hand, "This is a mobile phone. I got one for you too."
Then he took a box from the side and handed it to her, "Don't refuse, I bought it so that I can contact you more easily."
Qin Xiang frowned, "But I don't want to carry such a big brick everywhere."
Meng Huaiqing laughed. "In fact, many people in Hong Kong are already using it. Although it is large, it is convenient for communication. You can ask Brother Zhao to carry it for you and ask him for it when you need it."
Since he said so, Qin Xiang couldn't refuse. The two of them huddled on the sofa and listened to Meng Huaiqing explain how to use it.
In fact, Qin Xiang knew how to do it, but she felt warm in her heart when she heard Meng Huaiqing's gentle voice. Because of her request, Meng Huaiqing had not taken off his apron yet.
Qin Xiang felt itchy and reached out to tug at the strap of her apron.
Meng Huaiqing looked down at her and said, "Stop making trouble."
It seemed like a fire that burned the two of them through. The man and woman who had been separated for many days finally found an outlet to vent.
Qin Xiang pushed him away and said, "Curtain."
This is a kiss, and there might be something more exciting later. It would be bad if someone saw us.
Meng Huaiqing stood up to close the curtains and pushed her down on the sofa.
When I woke up again, it was dark outside and Meng Huaiqing was cooking again.
Well, this man fell in love with cooking.
The Chinese food for dinner was the same as usual, two heavy dishes and two light dishes.
Qin Xiang was forced to eat some light-flavored food.
After dinner there was another war.
It wasn't until Meng Huaiqing's cell phone rang that he stopped talking.
Meng Huaiqing stood up and put on his clothes. "I'm going out for a while. You take a rest first. I'll go to the factory with you tomorrow."
Qin Xiang asked, "What happened?"
"Well, a worker at the construction site fell off the scaffolding and broke his bones and was sent to the hospital. I have to go check it out."
Qin Xiang frowned. "This isn't a good thing. We need to appease the workers and ensure they receive adequate compensation. Most of the workers here are farmers, and they probably support their entire family's income..."
"Don't worry." Meng Huaiqing kissed her, "You have to trust me."
He knew what Qin Xiang was thinking. Coming from a farming family, he knew too well how difficult life was for farmers.
If it weren't for this, Qin Xiang wouldn't have sent money back to Qinjiatun to build roads and primary schools. Even if she didn't say it, she was always thinking about the people in her hometown.
Qin Xiang laughed, "I believe you."
This incident reminded her of the high school in Qingshui County.
She had previously used the money to repair the school’s classrooms, so it seemed she had to call the school again to ask them to repair the dormitories and the like.
After sleeping for quite a while in the afternoon, Qin Xiang couldn't fall asleep anymore, so she simply reached for her cell phone and called Mi Hongjun.
As a result, no one answered the phone, and I called another person in charge, but no one answered either.
Qin Xiang was bored, so she took out a notebook and pen from her bag, sat on the bay window in the bedroom, looked at the night outside, and started designing clothes.
When Meng Huaiqing came back, Qin Xiang had already fallen asleep. He had just taken a shower and felt slightly cool. Seeing Qin Xiang wake up, he patted her and said, "Go back to sleep."
But he himself did not sleep, sitting in the living room for who knows how long. Qin Xiang woke up from her dream and did not see Meng Huaiqing, so she put on her shoes and came out, sat down next to him, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Meng Huaiqing leaned his head on her shoulder and said after a while, "The worker's leg was amputated. I originally wanted to give him some money as a lump sum, but then he begged me to let his son join the construction team. However, his son was only fourteen, so I promised him that I would pay for his son's schooling and give him an extra hundred yuan every month until his son graduated from college."
Qin Xiang sighed, "You handled it very well."
“He’s a very nice guy too.”
This is the uncomfortable part. Qin Xiang comforted him, "You should be thankful that you are still alive, otherwise we would feel even more guilty."
Meng Huaiqing picked up his cell phone and called the project manager, asking him to check the safety issues on the construction site as soon as possible.
After beating Meng Huaiqing, he said, "By the way, I ran into Xiaomi on the way back. He was drunk with the person in charge. It's not easy for him here."
Even though he was accompanied by Meng Huaiqing's men, Mi Hongjun would inevitably have to attend social events if he wanted to completely penetrate Pengcheng and build his own network of contacts.
Only then did Qin Xiang understand why she couldn't get through to Mi Hongjun on the phone.
"If Jingjing knew, she would blame me again."
Meng Huaiqing laughed and said, "Let's go to bed."
Qin Xiang stood up and asked, "Will you also be forced to drink?"
Meng Huaiqing raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Who do you think dares to force me to drink now?"
Qin Xiang was stunned. "Then what about that time when you got drunk and were hospitalized in the provincial capital..."
"That was an accident." Meng Huaiqing didn't want to bring it up again, fearing that Qin Xiang would bring it up again, so he leaned over and kissed her, "It seems you're not tired anymore."
Qin Xiang pushed him to the other side and said, "Stop making trouble and go to sleep."
It will fall apart if you mess with it any more.
Even if a short separation makes a new marriage better than a new one, it cannot withstand such hardship.
The next day, the two of them slept until noon, went to the hospital to visit the worker who had undergone amputation, and then drove to the industrial park.
The factory building in the industrial park has been under construction for some time. It was built by a private professional contracting team, which had also built Meng Huaiqing's residential building. The contractor had a good relationship with Qin Yang, so he was introduced here.
When we got there, Mi Hongjun was there too, sitting on a chair with his head propped up, looking a little unhappy.
Qin Xiang went over and asked, "What's wrong? Did you drink too much?"
Mi Hongjun was startled, "Sister, brother-in-law, why are you here?"
Qin Xiang was speechless. "Didn't I tell you that I would come over on New Year's Day?"
"Oh, I was so busy that I forgot." Mi Hongjun was hungover and looked unhappy. Qin Xiang waved her hand and said, "Go back and rest quickly. Come back after you've rested."
"It's okay. Wait for me." Mi Hongjun went to the water pipe, turned on the water, and washed his face before coming over and saying, "Come on, I'll show you from a distance."
The branch factory here is even larger than the main factory, and it has everything it needs. After a round, Qin Xiang talked about Meng Huaiqing's situation, emphasizing the issue of safety. "I think we can find some good weight-bearing mesh bags underneath, so that if an accident happens, it won't fall directly to the ground."
Mi Hongjun nodded and said, "I'll arrange for someone to do it right away."
Meng Huaiqing glanced at the people behind him and said, "Did you hear that? Let's do it together."
The people behind Meng Huaiqing nodded hurriedly.
When they were alone, Mi Hongjun suddenly said, "I ran into Guan Zhibin here."
Qin Xiang hadn't seen Guan Zhibin in a long time. She only knew he was still in the clothing business, but she had no idea what he was doing. She didn't expect him to come to Pengcheng. "He came here to do the clothing business?"
Mi Hongjun nodded and said, "I rented a small factory here, and I mainly sell high-end imitation clothes."
This made Qin Xiang frown. High-quality imitations can indeed open up sales to a certain extent, but in the long run it is not conducive to the development of clothing.
She always thought Guan Zhibin was a smart man, but she didn't expect that he would do such a thing now.
She didn't believe that Guan Zhibin didn't know.
But Qin Xiang couldn't accept that he still did it even after knowing it.
It seems that I might meet him again in Pengcheng in the future, so it’s better to keep a distance from him.
This is what she thought and what she told Mi Hongjun.
Mi Hongjun nodded, but still worriedly said, "Once the factory is built, our designers will definitely have to come over, and we'll have to recruit new designers. We have to be wary of him. Some bosses in the clothing industry are already annoyed by Guan Zhibin's behavior."
Qin Xiang raised an eyebrow, "Is he famous now?"
"Almost." Mi Hongjun frowned slightly. "When he saw me, he came over and talked to me for a while. I didn't know about him at first, but then I heard people talking about him, and I found out after asking around. Oh, and it seems his cousin has stepped down."
Qin Xiang: "..."
Can't believe it.
She shook her head slightly. "Forget about them. Let's just do our own thing. Even if others say we're ungrateful or don't remember our past, we should just stay away from them from now on. Otherwise, it would be bad if he took advantage of the opportunity to join our design department."
This also reminded her that she had to continue recruiting people when she returned.
After the factory was built, the workers who made clothes could train the new ones, but she still had to arrange the recruitment of designers.
After looking around the construction site, Qin Xiang asked about the land. Mi Hongjun said, "There are many people eyeing that piece of land. When the time comes, there will be bidding. The highest bidder will win."
Mi Hongjun was getting a little nervous as he spoke, "The bidding will start in just over ten days. Are you really not going to be here?"
Qin Xiang shook her head. "There's nothing I can do. It's exam week, so I can't come."
Mi Hongjun regretted, "Okay."
"What are you afraid of? If anything happens, you still have your brother-in-law."
Meng Huaiqing's words made Mi Hongjun laugh as well.
In fact, Mi Hongjun was waiting for this sentence. With Meng Huaiqing around, there was nothing to be afraid of.
After looking at it from this side, I went over to look at the land. The area of the land was at most seven acres, but because of its good location, so many people were competing to bid for it.
Qin Xiang looked at the mall that had already started construction and couldn't help but say, "To be honest, it was Boss Meng who raised the price of this land."
Hearing this, Meng Huaiqing raised his eyebrows, "That's my fault?"
"certainly."
The land is still barren and there is nothing to see, so I just took a look and went back.
After coming to Pengcheng, one must visit Guangzhou again, but Meng Huaiqing had something to do, so Qin Xiang took Zhao Ping and the bodyguard team and drove to Guangzhou.
When they arrived in Yangcheng, they went straight to Yimei Garment Factory. However, when they arrived, Yimei Garment Factory had customers. Qin Xiang waited for a while, and Wu Gang had just seen the customer out.
Qin Xiang took a look from the window and felt that the man looked familiar.
Wu Gang pushed the door open and came in. The unhappiness on his face disappeared and was replaced by a warm smile. "Boss Qin, you are finally here."
Qin Xiang glanced outside and said, "I think I know that person."
Wu Gang was surprised, "Do you know Guan Zhibin?"
Qin Xiang nodded. "Didn't I tell you that I worked with someone in the first two years? It was him."
Upon hearing this, Wu Gang couldn't help but frown and said in a deep voice, "Logically, the person you have seen should be good, but this Guan Zhibin gave me a very bad impression."
"This person will change. He used to be a very good person, but it's hard to say now. After all, I haven't seen him for a long time. I only know that he is still in the clothing business, but I don't know how he does it or what kind of success he has." Qin Xiang said this in a realistic way. From Wu Gang's expression, it was clear that the conversation between the two was not pleasant.
Wu Gang frowned. "He used to make a lot of money thanks to his cousin. But then his cousin got into trouble and was fired, and things started to get tough for him."
Qin Xiang was surprised, "Guan Zhihong is coming down?"
It seems that power makes people confused.
Guan Zhihong used to be just a factory director, wholeheartedly pursuing development. Because he managed the factory well, he was promoted. Unexpectedly, he fell into the same trap not long after.
Wu Gang, who knew a little about Yangcheng, explained, "Actually, he was implicated by his family. It was said that his brother-in-law took advantage of his influence to accept gifts from outsiders. As a result, something went wrong, so they investigated him, who was considered his brother-in-law. Later, it was implicated that he had opened a small door for his cousin, which is why he got into trouble."
This made Qin Xiang sigh.
Guan Zhibin is truly capable, and Guan Zhihong is within her authority, so with a little help, she can thrive. But when a wall falls, everyone pushes it down, and once something goes wrong, even the smallest thing is no longer worth mentioning.
Qin Xiang waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about them. Let's talk about the subsequent development issues."
The development of the two factories will inevitably involve cooperation, and OEM will definitely decrease gradually in the future. Wu Gang doesn't think it's a big deal. Now that his factory's sales have increased, it doesn't matter whether he does OEM or not.
After talking with Qin Xiang, Jiao Junxi came again. The two talked about the new spring styles, and Qin Xiang was ready to leave.
But as soon as I came out of the Yimei Garment Factory, I saw a car parked there. Guan Zhibin was standing in front of the car door, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
