Chapter 302
Qin Xiang looked at Professor Sun with mixed feelings. "You want me to be your graduate student?"
"Yes, although you're not the best student in the class, you understand the apparel market best and are willing to work hard. So I wanted to ask if you're willing to do this." Professor Sun saw her frown and smiled. "Think about it carefully. This is just a suggestion. Whether you agree or not is up to you."
Qin Xiang shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, Professor Sun, I don't want to continue studying. I really don't have the time."
Although Professor Sun felt regretful, he respected her wishes. "Then I understand."
Qin Xiang went back and told no one about this. A few days later, Ming Chuanxiu said that she would apply to be Professor Sun's graduate student.
Qin Xiang agreed, "Professor Sun is a good teacher. It's great to follow him."
Seeing Zhao Wenna resting her chin in thought, Qin Xiang asked, "What are your plans?"
According to Zhao Wenna's grades, neither the test nor studying abroad is too difficult, but Zhao Wenna seems to have little interest.
Zhao Wenna came back to her senses and looked at Qin Xiang. "Xiangxiang, if I work for your company after graduation, can you support me while I study abroad for a few months?"
Qin Xiang was stunned for a moment, then she was extremely surprised. "Would you like to work for me?"
"Why not?" Zhao Wenna sighed. "I've asked many seniors, and there's no better career path for our major besides working in a factory. Even the highest positions are out of our reach. Instead of serving tea and water, I'd rather come to your place and be a designer for you."
Qin Xiang laughed, hugged her, and said excitedly, "Wenna, you won't be disappointed if you go to my place. As long as you are willing, I will send you out."
Zhao Wenna laughed, "Aren't you afraid that I won't come back if I stay outside?"
"Don't worry." Qin Xiang said with a smile, "If you don't come back, just consider it my bonus for the past two years."
In the past two years, Zhao Wenna has been continuously providing her with design drafts. Although it is a part-time job, the number of drafts she provides is no less than that of people working in the factory.
In addition to the fee for each manuscript, Zhao Wenna was also given some money as her basic salary. Although she didn't go to work, it was almost the same as going to work.
Fei Qing and the others knew about this, but after seeing Zhao Wenna's manuscript, they no longer had any objections.
They do no less than I do.
Zhao Wenna said, "I want to go out and see the world outside and see how different the designs there are from those in China."
"Okay." Qin Xiang nodded. "You can go out next year or during summer vacation."
Zhao Wenna was stunned. "That's right. Then I'll go there during the summer vacation and again during the winter vacation. I can always learn something by visiting one or two cities at a time."
Qin Xiang asked, "Don't you plan to go to those schools to learn for a while?"
"No." Zhao Wenna shook her head. "It's true that foreign universities have more advanced knowledge systems, but some basic knowledge and professional knowledge are the same. And no matter how good a design is, it will eventually be presented in a finished product. It's enough for me to just go and see the finished product."
The matter was settled. Qin Xiang looked at Meilin and Ming Chuanxiu, "Are you willing to go?"
Everyone in their dormitory, including Guan Yuping, had sold her design drafts, but not as many as Zhao Wenna.
Ming Chuanxiu and Meilin exchanged a glance, feeling somewhat moved. "Isn't this a bad idea? We still have two years of graduate school to go. It's already been several years..."
No one can be sure what the situation will be like after graduation in a few years.
Qin Xiang said, "How about you sign a design contract with me during your graduate studies, submitting a few designs every quarter? I'll pay for you to go out and study this summer, and that'll be your compensation."
After she said that, Meilin and Mingchuanxiu agreed without thinking, "Okay."
Zhao Wenna also breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great, someone is here to keep me company."
Qin Xiang comforted him, "Don't worry, I'll find someone to take you there."
After the matter was settled, Qin Xiang went back to talk to Assistant Liu about it. Assistant Liu said, "Leave it to me. I'll help you with these things. The procedures are slow, so I'll directly contact the three of them for cooperation when the time comes."
I told the three of them about the arrangement, and they were very happy. It was like pie in the sky falling on their heads.
Guan Yuping listened while these words were spoken, but remained silent.
A few days later, when Assistant Liu came to ask Zhao Wenna and the others to review the documents, Guan Yuping could no longer sit still. During the break, she called out to Qin Xiang, "Qin Xiang."
Qin Xiang turned around to look at her and asked distantly, "What's wrong?"
That's how relationships are. In the first two years of school, Qin Xiang and Guan Yuping had the best relationship. No one could have imagined that one day they would become strangers.
Qin Xiang could probably guess Guan Yuping's thoughts and said directly, "I don't do business that loses money. Meilin and Mingchuan Xiu have been providing me with manuscripts for the past two years. They gave me several copies just after the Chinese New Year holiday. What about you? You haven't provided any since last year, so do you think I will pay to get you out?"
Guan Yuping looked at Qin Xiang quietly, tears filling her eyes and rolling down. Guan Yuping said, "Do you look down on me?"
Qin Xiang sighed and said affirmatively, "Looking at you like this, why should I look up to you? I'm leaving."
Qin Xiang left, and Guan Yuping stood there, looking at how wronged she was. Ming Chuanxiu and Meilin looked at each other, wanting to comfort her, "Yuping, Qin Xiang didn't mean that..."
Before either of them could finish their conversation, Guan Yuping turned around and left.
Mingchuan Xiu said, "Forget it, let's go."
Seeing Guan Yuping's behavior, Qin Xiang felt bad. No one would be happy to see their former good friend end up like this for a man.
If she agreed to go out with her, that would be bad news, and Guan Yuping would definitely have to go find Jie Zong.
But what if we find it?
If I don’t like it, I don’t like it.
Qin Xiang went to Yong'an on the weekend. Tan Xiu was now in charge of the factory and was managing it in an efficient manner. When Qin Xiang went there, she was talking to people in the production workshop. When she saw her coming, she took out a pile of documents and asked her to sign and report on her work.
Qin Xiang knew that this was not something to be bothered with. After taking a quick look, she realized that no one was in a hurry. The anxious Tan Xiu had already come to her about the school.
After processing the documents, Qin Xiang asked about the sales progress of the summer collection. Tan Xiu said, "We've already produced some, and they'll be available in a few days when the weather warms up. Also, the new design you sent us last week is being prototyped, and will be added later as a new model."
Qin Xiang nodded, "Not bad, Tan Xiu, you are doing a good job."
Tan Xiu laughed and said, "I learned all this from you. Although I am a year older than you, you are my teacher. If it weren't for you, I would still be working as a salesperson in the provincial capital."
"I didn't teach you. You learned it all on your own." Qin Xiang laughed. "I have to go south soon, so I'll leave this to you."
Tan Xiu nodded, "Okay, don't worry."
Tan Xiu is steady and thoughtful in his work. Although he has fewer innovative ideas, he is still doing a good job in managing the factory.
After I finished speaking, I saw Miao Xiaofeng coming out of the office. Qin Xiang came here alone today. Zhao Ping had already taken people to Sucheng to assist with the work.
Zhao Ping and Miao Xiaofeng separated just two months after their marriage, and Qin Xiang sometimes felt embarrassed.
The two of them got together so suddenly that many people didn't even know that Zhao Ping and Miao Xiaofeng were dating. Then, they made a big splash and came to see their parents' wedding together.
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Xiao Feng."
Miao Xiaofeng came over and said with a smile, "Director."
Qin Xiang asked about her recent work and then said directly, "The work here is already very stable. Are you interested in going to Pengcheng to help Mi Hongjun?"
Miao Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment, then said happily, "I do."
"Don't think you're okay just because you're separated from Brother Zhao again." Qin Xiang added with a smile, "But Brother Zhao will probably be traveling around three places this year, so he won't be able to sit idle. The time you two can spend together won't be long."
Hearing this, Miao Xiaofeng shook her head. "It's okay. We've discussed this issue before. It's not a big deal. As long as there's affection, we don't need to be together every day. It's easy to get bored if we're together every day."
Since getting married, Miao Xiaofeng's temperament seems to have changed. She is more cheerful than before.
Qin Xiang nodded. "Then hand over the work as soon as possible. Mi Hongjun has a lot to do, and his leadership team is not yet mature. You go over and help."
Miao Xiaofeng nodded, "Okay."
After arranging everything here, Qin Xiang went back.
It wasn't until a month later that Meng Huaiqing returned. Mi Hongjun also called and said, "The opening date has been chosen. It's next Saturday. I remember you only have half-day classes on Fridays this semester. Buy a ticket for the afternoon and go back on Sunday."
Meng Huaiqing also stood aside and listened, frowning and saying, "This is too hasty."
Qin Xiang quickly agreed and looked back at him, "What else can we do? This is the only way."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Huaiqing hugged her from behind and said dissatisfiedly, "I just got back."
Qin Xiang turned around and kissed him, "Then I'll put you in my pocket and you can go with me. It'll only take two and a half days to go back. I'll be back every day recently, okay?"
Meng Huaiqing then smiled, "That's more like it."
As he spoke, the man started to act dishonestly again. Qin Xiang was amused by him, "If someone didn't know, they would think you turned into a dog."
"Is that so?" Meng Huaiqing instantly turned into a big dog and rubbed against her neck.
Something felt wrong as they kept rubbing against each other, and the two of them started fooling around again in broad daylight.
The school week seemed to pass exceptionally quickly, and soon it was Friday.
The plane ticket was bought for 5 pm. After class and lunch at noon, Qin Xiang rushed to the airport. When she arrived there, her two bodyguards also came. It was already evening when they arrived in Pengcheng.
After a short night's rest, Qin Xiang didn't even have time to go to the factory in advance. Mi Hongjun came to pick her up early on Saturday morning.
"Sister, you are finally here. Let me tell you, my brother-in-law is here too."
When Mi Hongjun said this, Qin Xiang was stunned, "Why is he here?"
And if you really want to come, why don’t you come with her?
Also, when was a line added to the capital?
Qin Xiang's forehead was full of black lines. Mi Hongjun didn't know anything about it. "Anyway, you came early."
Qin Xiang was speechless. "Forget it, just come now."
In fact, it was a good thing for her that Meng Huaiqing was willing to come.
Meng Huaiqing is well-known in Pengcheng. His coming also lets people know that Qin Xiang is not without any backing.
We drove to the factory. A banner had already been hung at the factory gate. Firecrackers, salutes, and a lion dance team were all ready. We were just waiting for the leaders from Pengcheng to arrive, and we would start the action when the auspicious time came.
As soon as Qin Xiang got out of the car, everyone in the factory looked over.
Many people had never even seen their boss, and when they saw Qin Xiang, such a young woman, getting out of the car, many people felt emotional.
It’s amazing, such a young factory manager.
Before the meeting started, Qin Xiang stood outside and spoke a few words to everyone.
Anyway, it is to encourage employees to work hard and encourage cadres to do their jobs well.
After he finished speaking, there was warm applause.
Qin Xiang was also very happy. As she was speaking, Meng Huaiqing brought a group of people over.
Qin Xiang already knew some of them, and some were new faces. Meng Huaiqing introduced them to each other. At this time, leaders from the city and people from the factory office also came over.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the cannons exploded in the air with a bang and firecrackers crackled.
Aimei Garment Factory Pengcheng Branch opened for business.
With the opening of the new factory, many people in the industrial park came out to watch the fun.
Leaders from several nearby garment factories also came over to exchange a few words with Mi Hongjun.
After exchanging pleasantries with his friend, Meng Huaiqing slowly walked over and whispered to Qin Xiang, "Does that woman over there look familiar? Is she looking at you?"
Hearing this, Qin Xiang followed his gaze and saw a heavily made-up woman standing next to the pot-bellied boss, looking at Qin Xiang with resentment.
Although she was wearing heavy makeup, Qin Xiang recognized her at a glance.
