Chapter 48
Wang Junsheng had known about Cui Hong's trip to the capital from Cui Lianhua a long time ago. When he first found out, Wang Junsheng was furious and believed that Cui Hong was an unruly woman.
But as time went by, more than ten days passed and Cui Hong disappeared.
Wang Junsheng suddenly thought that perhaps Cui Hong hadn't come to the capital. He knew Cui Hong was intelligent and would surely understand why he had left home so hastily. Perhaps Cui Hong had come to her senses and didn't want to come anymore.
Or maybe... Cui Hong encountered something unexpected on the way and couldn't come?
He had heard that things were not peaceful on the trains these days because there were human traffickers.
Although he felt that this was a bad idea, deep down he felt shamefully that it was a good thing that Cui Hong wouldn't be able to come.
He was the most promising university student in the area, so how could he marry a woman like this? It would be laughable if people knew about it.
Coincidentally, Huang Yuqin, who was from another major, expressed her affection for him. Wang Junsheng thought that since there was no possibility for him and Qin Xiang anymore, and he and Cui Hong had not obtained a marriage certificate, and Cui Hong might not be able to come, why not start a new relationship.
He had mentioned to others that Huang Yuqin's father was a cadre in their province. Unless exceptionally outstanding college students like them could stay in the capital, most of the others would return to their hometowns when they were assigned jobs.
Since he couldn't stay in the capital, the provincial capital was his best option. If he had Huang Yuqin as a springboard, he could move around and get assigned to a good unit when the time came.
Wang Junsheng is a good-looking man with a good tongue. He and Huang Yuqin became very close in just a few days.
But his hope of getting lucky did not come true. Cui Hong, who had disappeared for more than half a month, actually stood in front of him at his school.
Wang Junsheng's head buzzed and almost exploded. He knew Cui Hong's methods too well. Wasn't he the one Cui Hong snatched from her friend?
"Wang Junsheng, who is she?" Huang Yuqin looked at the woman in front of her who was dressed in old-fashioned clothes but had an incredibly beautiful face, and felt a sense of crisis in her heart.
Cui Hong had nothing to understand when she looked at the situation between the two. She had once cheated on her good friend, and now Wang Junsheng had cheated on her again. How ridiculous.
But Cui Hong knew that Wang Junsheng was the best man she could get. Apart from him, she could only look for some nouveau riche, and they might even look down on her.
Even though Cui Hong was extremely angry at the moment, she still managed to calm herself down.
There were tears in her eyes as she looked at Wang Junsheng, feeling happy but also aggrieved and nervous. "Junsheng, who do you say I am?"
Huang Yuqin looked at Cui Hong in surprise. This woman's voice was so charming.
She had a bad feeling and looked at Wang Junsheng hurriedly.
The question returned to Wang Junsheng. Wang Junsheng was in a state of confusion and quickly winked at Cui Hong, "This is my sister..."
"Yes, it's my sister."
Before Cui Hong finished speaking, a smile appeared on Wang Junsheng's face, but then Cui Hong said shyly, "If you insist on saying that I am your sister, then I can only be your lover's sister."
With a buzzing sound, Wang Junsheng staggered.
Huang Yuqin moved away from him and said, "Wang Junsheng, explain it to me clearly."
Wang Junsheng got anxious and said to Cui Hong, "Shut up right there." Then he turned to Huang Yuqin and said, "Listen to my explanation."
Huang Yuqin didn't understand anything at this point. She slapped Wang Junsheng in the face and said, "Shameless."
It was the end of class, and the area was crowded with people watching. Cui Hong knew that her relationship with Wang Junsheng would plummet to the bottom after she found out about this. But so what?
She wanted everyone to know that Wang Junsheng was married and that his wife was Cui Hong. No one else could get close to Wang Junsheng except her.
Cui Hong looked at the two of them, bit her lip and said softly, "Classmate, don't blame Junsheng. He definitely didn't mean it."
As she spoke, tears began to fall. "He definitely didn't mean it. He and I had a quarrel and a conflict at home. He must have been trying to anger me on purpose, classmate. He really didn't mean it."
The more Cui Hong spoke, the more anxious she became, and the more tears she shed. The classmates around her who were watching the fun had nothing to understand. It was obvious that his family had married off, and yet he was flirting with someone else in college.
Someone shouted, "I didn't expect there would still be Chen Shimei now."
"How shameless."
"You have such a beautiful wife, but you're still hooking up with someone else at school. This is an immoral lifestyle."
Wang Junsheng looked at the two women and the people around him, feeling as if he had been stripped naked in the snow. He instantly recalled what happened on New Year's Eve.
That was a pain he would never forget.
Now it has been revealed again, and it was all brought by the same woman.
Wang Junsheng looked around angrily, "What do you know?"
Everyone scoffed, "We only know that you're married and still looking for a partner at school."
"you……"
Pop.
Huang Yuqin slapped Wang Junsheng again, "Wang Junsheng, we are done with each other from now on. You are really disgusting."
After saying that, Huang Yuqin bowed to Cui Hong and said, "I'm sorry."
Then he turned around and ran away quickly.
Wang Junsheng's cheeks were burning. He looked at Huang Yuqin and wanted to chase her to explain, but he didn't know how to explain. He looked at Cui Hong with disgust, "Are you satisfied?"
Cui Hong seemed to be unable to see the disgust in his eyes. She only bit her lip in grievance, "Junsheng, I have suffered so much along the way to find you. Please don't leave me."
Wang Junsheng turned his head away and didn't look at her, the person who made him lose face.
When he was embarrassed in his hometown, no one knew about it when he returned to school. But now that he has been embarrassed in school, everyone will probably know about it within two days. How will he survive in school in the future? How will others look at him?
Wang Junsheng dragged Cui Hong out of the school quickly. Cui Hong let him pull her along and whispered, "Junsheng, I'm hungry. Can you take me out to eat?"
Wang Junsheng didn't answer, but just walked quickly.
Cui Hong was smaller in stature, so it was a bit difficult for her to follow, and she stumbled. "Junsheng, I'm tired and hungry. Where should I stay tonight?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Junsheng suddenly stopped and looked at Cui Hong.
Cui Hong smiled shyly, "Junsheng, I decided when I came here to serve you in the capital. I will definitely take good care of you so that you can study without any worries. I am good at washing clothes, cooking, and serving men on the kang. You just need to study hard and work hard."
Seeing Wang Junsheng remained silent, she bit her lip, her eyes filled with tears. "It's just that I got a bargain on the road, and all the valuable things are gone. From now on, I will rely on you to support me."
Wang Junsheng looked at the woman in front of him with a gentle and affectionate smile, as if he was looking at a poisonous scorpion.
No one could possibly know how much evil thoughts were hidden beneath such a gentle and beautiful face.
Cui Hong doesn't want him to have an easy time. She has already made him lose face, but how can he get rid of her?
Cui Hong seemed to understand his thoughts, but she wasn't annoyed. Men, after all, always think about their lower body. In her past life, she'd been with several men, had children, and was already quite old, yet she could still seduce Wang Junsheng and make him lose his mind, especially when she was still young. Over time, Wang Junsheng knew there was no hope for other women. How could he not have needs? She was hanging around him all day, seducing him. How could he not react?
As long as she can sleep once, she can sleep twice. After a long time, she doesn't believe that Wang Junsheng can still be like this.
She would never be separated from Wang Junsheng no matter what, and they would be locked together for the rest of their lives.
Cui Hong looked at Wang Junsheng and said gently, "Junsheng, I will only follow you in this life. You have to treat me well."
Wang Junsheng looked at her and felt a chill in his heart.
In the blink of an eye, it was the beginning of April in the Gregorian calendar. The weather had become warmer and thin jackets like the ones sold by Qin Xiang and others could be worn alone with a vest.
Because the spring plowing was over, everyone was eager to go to the market. Qin Xiang and his team increased their purchases from 2,000 pieces to 2,600 pieces. Even some self-employed people from the neighboring county came to Qin Xiang to get goods to sell at the market.
By the end of April, Qin Xiang increased the purchase of sweatshirts and short-sleeved shirts. Even though they were the most basic styles, they still sold well at the rural fair.
Because she has to take the college entrance examination, Qin Xiang basically doesn't go to the market anymore. It is Qin Yang who takes Mi Hongjun there.
The two of them disliked each other at first, but now they cooperate well with each other. Although the shipment volume is not as high as it was at the beginning, business is good because many people come to them to buy goods.
This time, Qin Xiang's purchase volume reached 3,500 pieces, and the cost alone was almost 20,000 yuan.
Qin Xiang had previously wanted to gather funds and head south, but for some reason she hadn't been able to do so. She planned to wait until she received the payment for the goods before heading south. As for the county town, she thought about it and decided to temporarily hand it over to Mi Hongjun.
When Qin Yang and Mi Hongjun returned from the market, Qin Xiang mentioned this matter, "We can wear short-sleeved shirts in May, so we need to buy some summer clothes before then. Then we can go directly to the provincial capital and set up a stall first. While we're there, we can also find a storefront. We can't do without people here in the county. Xiaomi, you're familiar with receiving goods, so you can take charge of the county first. When I find the right people to take charge of the county work, you can follow me to the provincial capital."
Mi Hongjun was a little nervous when he heard that he and Qin Xiang and the others would split up. Qin Xiang seemed to see his worry and comforted him, "You don't have to go to the market here except for receiving goods. You can just deliver goods for others. You can't always follow us. Wasn't it good when you were fighting alone before? I'll give you a generous bonus at the end of the month."
After hearing what she said, Mi Hongjun's uneasy heart finally settled down. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll try."
Qin Xiang smiled, "It's not just a try, it's a must-do."
Mi Hongjun couldn't help laughing and touched his head embarrassedly, "Sister Xiangxiang, thank you for trusting me."
Qin Xiang patted his shoulder and said, "That's because you are excellent."
In fact, it was because she had no one available.
She had considered asking her second brother to take over so she could get rid of the mess later, but when she asked him, he had no plans to do so at the moment and said that if he could help, then forget it. Later, she thought about it carefully and it didn't seem like a good idea.
When doing business, you should actually avoid involving your relatives, as family businesses are most likely to run into problems.
But the third brother is the third brother, the person she trusts the most in her life. He is different from other people. Even her biological parents do not trust her third brother as much as she does.
After figuring this out, Qin Xiang stopped worrying about it. She didn't want to stop the wholesale business here, so she would just continue doing it and wait until she really couldn't do it anymore before doing it.
After explaining all this, Qin Yang deliberately trained Mi Hongjun in the next few days, letting Mi Hongjun deliver goods alone several times and also letting him go to the market alone twice.
It's no wonder that people's potential is always being tapped. Mi Hongjun had set up a stall before, and he did it well. So Qin Xiang praised him a few times, and Mi Hongjun was so happy that he almost lost his mind and patted his chest, saying that he would definitely do it well.
Privately, Qin Yang hesitated to ask Qin Xiang, "Do you feel that Xiaomi has different feelings for you?"
"Mi Hongjun?" Qin Xiang was a little surprised, but then she laughed, "He's just a kid. I'm not interested in kids."
Qin Yang was speechless. "You are only two years older than him."
Qin Xiang paused. It seemed that she had to adjust her mindset. She couldn't always think about problems based on her age in her previous life. Otherwise, it would not be good for her. What if her aesthetic taste remained at the level of her forties? How could she choose clothes that young girls liked?
"I understand." Qin Xiang said solemnly, "From now on, I will think about things as if I were a 20-year-old girl."
Seeing her like this, Qin Yang knew that she didn't take it to heart, so he stopped talking and planned to talk to Mi Hongjun when he had time. Although Mi Hongjun was not bad, he now felt that Mi Hongjun was not worthy of his sister, and the two of them were not very suitable.
When this batch of goods was almost sold out, Qin Xiang settled the bill and went to pay back the 200 yuan to his second brother. Then he said to Qin Yang, "Third brother, should I give you a small installment of the money or continue to invest?"
Qin Yang said lazily, "You decide. I don't need any money."
Qin Xiang was happy, "You should find me a sister-in-law and let her help you manage the money."
"Come on." Qin Yang declined politely, "It's good to be alone."
Qin Xiang gave Mi Hongjun a salary and bonus of 45 yuan, which made Mi Hongjun very happy. Qin Xiang said, "If you do well in the future, your salary will continue to increase."
Mi Hongjun was full of energy and assured, "Don't worry, I will definitely do it well."
After explaining to Mi Hongjun, Qin Xiang went to calculate the funds again. He didn't know until he calculated it. Qin Yang was also shocked by the calculation, "Is it that much money?"
After rounding off the decimals, there is still 23,000 yuan, not to mention that I have a batch of goods at home now.
Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, "I didn't expect it to be so fast."
In just over two months, her net worth increased from 1,100 yuan, which she had borrowed, to more than 20,000 yuan.
If this matter were to be made known to others, it would scare people to death.
As for the "ten thousand yuan household", it's not ten thousand yuan, but more than twenty thousand yuan.
Before the news of this got back to Qinjiatun, it was said that many people came to propose marriage to Qin Xiang. If they knew how rich she was, the Qin family's door would probably be knocked down.
Qin Xiang counted the money and put it away in piles, feeling a little worried. "It's a hassle to carry so much money."
But I have to carry it this way. Nowadays, very little money is deposited in banks, and it doesn’t seem so easy to withdraw money from other places.
Qin Yang glanced at him and took out his own coat. "Put it on my waistband. Sew a pocket inside the coat. I'll put it in my pocket."
Qin Xiang chuckled, "Then you've really become a wealthy man." She hesitated for a moment and said, "I think we should put some of it in the bank and withdraw it when we get there, and keep some of it with us, otherwise it will be too much."
The two went to the bank to deposit money in a current account to ensure that they could withdraw money at any time. They also kept the rest of the money with them, and then prepared to take a bus to the provincial capital and then drive back to Guangzhou.
The trip will take more than a day or two, and they will stay in the provincial capital on the way back. Although Qin Xiang is relieved about Mi Hongjun, she also asked Qin Hai to go over and see him when he has time.
As for the yard here, Qin Xiang also asked Old Lady Liu to help look after it, and even gave the small stall at the back door to Old Lady Liu. Qin Xiang said that the old lady would be paid one dollar a day, and she was very happy to do this job. Even the old lady's daughter-in-law came to help after work.
After everything was arranged, the brother and sister went out.
It took four hours to drive from the county to the provincial capital. When Qin Xiang arrived at the provincial capital, she finally felt a sense of familiarity.
The provincial capital in the mid-1980s was still somewhat different from the provincial capital in the late 1980s, but Qin Xiang could recall many places through distant memories.
This was also where Wang Junsheng started his business. It wasn't until the millennium that the company's business expanded and the headquarters moved to Pengcheng. Qin Xiang was not only Mrs. Wang here, she also worked in many jobs. Thinking about it now, it really seems like a lifetime ago.
Seeing the emotion on Qin Xiang's face, Qin Yang had an illusion that Qin Xiang seemed to have lived here for many years.
"Xiangxiang, what's wrong?" Qin Yang was a little worried.
Qin Xiang came back to his senses and shook his head, "It's okay, I just feel that this place is strangely familiar. Maybe I can develop here."
She took a deep breath and said, "Let's go, brother, let's go buy tickets first."
It’s a pity that the train system at that time was not as developed as it is in later generations. The train from the provincial capital to Guangzhou was not available until the next morning, so they had to stay in the provincial capital for one night.
Qin Xiang couldn't sit still, so she and Qin Yang decided to go out and look for some storefronts. If they could find a suitable one and rent it today, that would be even better. If not, they would have to come back from Guangzhou and start by setting up a street stall.
Qin Xiang flipped through her memory of the places she had visited in her previous life, and took Qin Yang directly to the Central Commercial Street, where the largest department stores in the provincial capital were gathered. There was a large square in the middle, and the crowds of people were particularly large every weekend.
Qin Yang had been to the provincial capital several times, but the deliveries he made were all in the suburbs. This was his first time in the city center. His experience of going to the market so many times had made him see a business opportunity. "If there were a storefront around here, there would be no shortage of people."
Just look at the three-story department store on the northernmost side and you will see that there are people coming and going. There are actually some shops around it, but they are relatively small. They mostly sell food, but not many sell clothes.
Qin Xiang took Qin Yang for a walk and finally stopped at a corner fifty meters east of the department store. There were two two-story shops there, but they were a bit old and the locks on the doors were rusty.
She was a little confused. Why didn't anyone rent such a good location?
In her previous life, she had noticed this place in the early 1990s. Back then, it seemed like an electrical appliance store had opened here and was doing quite well. She had never expected it to still be vacant at this time.
She looked around, wanting to ask, when a man in his sixties came out of a room next door. Seeing them circling the front room, he looked at them warily, "What are you doing?"
Qin Xiang looked at the other party and said honestly, "I want to rent these two houses. Do you know where the owner's house is?"
"Rent a house? What's the point of renting it?" The old man looked the two up and down. When his eyes fell on Qin Yang, he flinched, but still said, "These two houses are not cheap to rent. If you are relatives of a leader and want to take advantage of them, I advise you not to do so. The landlord is not afraid of trouble and has some skills. If a fight really breaks out, who will suffer the consequences?"
Qin Xiang knew there might be a story behind this when she heard this. She said to the old man kindly, "Uncle, I rented this place to use it as a storefront to sell clothes. I don't have any other intentions. As for relatives, do we look like people with relatives in high positions? If we did, we wouldn't have come here to ask."
The old man thought it made sense, and he hummed and prepared to go back. Qin Xiang hurriedly called out, "Uncle, does that mean the house hasn't been rented out yet? Can you help me contact them?"
As she spoke, she winked at Qin Yang, who pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and stuffed it into her hand. "Uncle, please help us. We won't let you work in vain."
The old man took a look at the cigarette and thought it looked good, so he hummed and said, "Come in and talk."
Qin Xiang and Qin Yang looked at each other and saw hope. Qin Xiang looked back at the location and it was really good. The flow of people was brought in by the department store and the square, and the flow of people would be even greater on weekends.
The two followed the old man into the room next door. There was nothing in it except a bed, a dining table and a wardrobe. It was obvious that the old man lived alone and the room was very clean.
"How long do you plan to rent it for?"
Qin Xiang said, "Of course, the longer the better." Qin Xiang looked at the old man and asked, "Uncle, can I ask how much I'm going to earn this month?"
The old man extended a slap on his face and said, "Fifty a month."
Qin Xiang took a breath and said, "It's really not cheap."
"The location is good too. Take a look around and see if there's any house around here that's better than this one." The old man was very pleased with himself. Qin Xiang hesitated, "What does this house have to do with you?"
The old man said, "It's my former master's house. I'm here to help look after some properties."
"Then you decide?"
The old man frowned and asked, "Guess?"
