Chapter 53
Before leaving, Qin Xiang explained a lot of things to her third brother in detail. Although her third brother couldn't help with selling goods, he could watch over the store and prevent people from causing trouble.
Miao Xiaofeng and Tan Xiu still had to rely on selling the goods. Qin Xiang instructed them, "Just follow what I said before. If you're unsure if the combination is good, don't pair it. Let the customer choose for themselves."
Miao Xiaofeng and Tan Xiu nodded hurriedly. Although a little nervous, they still agreed, "Don't worry, Sister Xiangxiang, we will definitely take good care of the store."
They had only been selling with Qin Xiang for four or five days, so it was impossible for them to have much experience. Now they were forced to do it, even if they couldn't do it.
After Qin Xiang made all the arrangements, she picked up her luggage and took a bus back to Qingshui County. Fortunately, there was a bus from the county that went directly to the provincial capital. Although it took a little longer, it was much more convenient.
Arriving at the station and getting on the bus, Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. She'd been so busy with the store these past few days that it was impossible not to be tired. But she also felt an unprecedented sense of genuine satisfaction.
In this era, who says women can only rely on men? Even if she leaves the Wang family, she can still do well.
We took the bus in the morning and arrived at the county around 2:00 p.m.
Qin Xiang didn't waste any time and went straight back to the courtyard. Old Lady Liu was still setting up her stall at the back door. When she saw Qin Xiang, she slapped her thigh and said, "Qin Xiang, it really is you! I didn't recognize you. You've been away for so many days. Tsk tsk, how are you doing in the provincial capital?"
The old lady asked one question after another, and Qin Xiang smiled and said, "I'm fine. I came back for something, so I came to see how things are going here. How is your stall going?"
Old Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "That's good. Xiaomi settled my April wages. I took fifteen yuan. My daughter-in-law is almost worshipping me."
Qin Xiang was amused. "So what are your plans for the future? Why do you keep it there?"
"So you don't plan to sell it anymore?" Old Mrs. Liu was really reluctant to do so. She only earned one dollar a day.
Qin Xiang said, "I opened a store in the provincial capital, so I can't take care of this place anymore. If you want to continue selling, my suggestion is that you buy the goods directly from me in the future, and all the profits from the sales are yours."
Old Mrs. Liu hesitated for a moment.
She felt guilty about making a dollar a day from running this stall, but she also felt good about it. She was a little hesitant to do it herself. After all, no matter how small the item was, it still required capital. If she really paid for the goods, she might have to spend her entire fortune.
Seeing her hesitation, Qin Xiang did not force her, "Go back and discuss it with my eldest brother. I won't leave for three to five days."
After saying that, she went home through the main gate. Since she went to the provincial capital, Mi Hongjun gave up the house he had rented and moved here. After all, the goods were all here, and he was worried about no one watching them, so he lived in the room where Qin Yang had lived before.
It was already afternoon when Qin Xiang came back, but Mi Hongjun had not returned yet. He must have gone to the market to sell goods.
Qin Xiang was too tired, so she went back to her room and lay down to sleep for a while. When she woke up, she smelled the fragrance of rice. She came out and saw that Mi Hongjun had already prepared dinner. "Sister Xiangxiang, you are up. Come and have dinner. I made it."
Qin Xiang looked at the three dishes on the table with some surprise, "You can cook."
Mi Hongjun scratched his head embarrassedly, "Yes, I can. What can I do if I live alone and can't cook? I'm just average at it."
The two sat down opposite each other. Qin Xiang hadn't eaten lunch and was really hungry. He picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat to eat. He was even more surprised. "It tastes good. I didn't expect you to have this skill."
Mi Hongjun smiled even wider when he received the praise.
After dinner, Mi Hongjun hesitated. Qin Xiang leaned against the wall and didn't want to move. "If you have something to say, just tell me."
Mi Hongjun sat down in front of her and said expectantly, "Sister Xiangxiang, can you take me to the provincial capital?"
Qin Xiang looked at him and shook her head. "It's really not possible for now. I've hired two shop assistants over there to look after the store temporarily. You can't leave until we find the right person to take over the wholesale business in the county."
She thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you a raise, sixty a month, plus a bonus, how about that?"
"Not so good." Mi Hongjun was very frustrated. He came to Qin Xiang because he really thought Qin Xiang and his sister were good people, but now they have gone to the provincial capital, and he still has to look after the mess in the county. Yes, he wanted to do something serious, but...
He looked at Qin Xiang and always felt that his little thoughts had been seen through. It couldn't be that Qin Xiang deliberately left him here just because his little thoughts were seen through.
Qin Xiang didn't know what was going on in Mi Hongjun's mind, but she could tell that he seemed dissatisfied with the current situation. Was her arrangement wrong?
She really thought Mi Hongjun was capable and wanted him to look after the business here for a while.
Qin Xiang thought for a moment and said, "How about you stop going to the market and just focus on delivering orders for individual businesses? I've brought back some money this time to buy a tricycle, and you can ride it to deliver the goods. Before the end of the year at the latest, I'll find the right person to take over this place and let you go to the provincial capital. Is that okay with you?"
Mi Hongjun sighed, "Okay."
Qin Xiang encouraged, "Xiaomi, you have to remember, I plan to train you to be my right-hand man. With your help and Third Brother's, my business can continue for a long time and be successful. Everything I do now is to train you, you must not let me down."
Mi Hongjun felt that he was well again and nodded hurriedly, "Sister Xiangxiang, don't worry, I will definitely do my best."
The two were talking when someone knocked on the door. When they went out, they saw it was Qiao Huilan from next door.
Qin Xiang had no good impression of this family. When she saw them, the smile on her face fell. "Auntie, what brings you here at this hour?"
"Something's wrong, something's wrong." Qiao Huilan looked around the yard with her eyes. Qin Xiang frowned, "Is there something wrong? If not, go back."
"Yes, yes." Qiao Huilan looked at her expectantly. "I heard that your business has expanded to the provincial capital. Can we buy goods from your county and sell them there?"
Qin Xiang looked at her in surprise and nodded after a while, "Of course." Qiao Huilan's face showed joy, "Then..."
"I have no problem signing the agreement and paying for the goods."
The smile on Qiao Huilan's face froze. "Our family has no money, so you see..."
"You want credit? That's not possible." Qin Xiang thought to herself, forget about credit. She wouldn't even approve it for a penny less. What kind of relationship do they have? "My business also needs capital turnover. I can't sell on credit. If you're happy, just bring the money and hand over the goods. Otherwise, go ask somewhere else."
Seeing Qiao Huilan still standing there, Qin Xiang said, "I need to rest."
Qiao Huilan was in a bad mood and muttered, "It's shameless for a single man and a single woman to live together..."
Qin Xiang's face immediately fell, and he raised his hand and slapped him, "Get lost."
Qiao Huilan suddenly realized what she had said, and when she looked up again, the door was already closed. She touched her burning face and couldn't help but slap herself, "You have such a big mouth! How can you beg for help?"
Qin Xiang's good mood was ruined by Qiao Huilan. Mi Hongjun had lived here for some time. She couldn't just kick him out as soon as she came back.
Who is this person?
Qin Xiang had just sat down when someone knocked on the door. Qin Xiang was too lazy to move, so Mi Hongjun hurried to open the door, "Sister Xiangxiang, my second brother is here."
Qin Xiang was delighted. She stood up and saw Qin Hai and Huang Xiufen coming over. She hurried out to greet them, "Second brother, second sister-in-law, why are you here?"
Huang Xiufen smiled and said, "I ran into Aunt Liu when I went out to buy something this afternoon. She said you were back, so your second brother wanted to come over to see you. He was worried about you."
Hearing this, Qin Xiang smiled and asked them to come in and sit down before saying, "I'm with my third brother. There's nothing to worry about."
"What about him?" Qin Hai looked at his sister and found that she seemed a little different after not seeing her for a few days, mainly because of her spirit.
Qin Xiang: "The store in the provincial capital has just opened. There are only two sales clerks watching over it. I'm worried. My third brother is watching over there. I came back to take the monthly exam at school."
Upon hearing this, Qin Hai's expression became more serious. "If you want to go to university, you still have to focus on studying. You're so busy every day, how can you find time to study?"
Qin Xiang felt a little guilty about this. To be honest, she could only read for a while in the morning in the provincial capital these days. She couldn't read at all in the afternoon because there were too many people around. In addition, there was a night market there and the shops closed late, so she couldn't read at other times.
Seeing her like this, Qin Hai disagreed and said, "Xiangxiang, my second brother's talent is limited. He will never be able to go to college in this lifetime. But you are different. You have a good brain and good grades. If you can devote all your time to studying, you may be able to get into Capital University."
Qin Xiang looked at his second brother and said, "Brother, isn't the purpose of going to college to get a good job? For others, going to college is to be assigned a good job. But compared to the job assigned by the state, I prefer my current life, being my own boss, working for myself. For me, going to college is to improve my cultural level and some skills. As long as the school I want to go to is good enough to transfer to a good job and allow me to learn something, that's enough for me."
Is Capital University not good? Of course it is good. It is the best school in the whole of China together with Hua University. If she puts all her energy into studying, she will definitely be admitted. But she has too many things in her mind. She is confident that she can be admitted to a university in the provincial capital, but she is not very sure about being admitted to Capital University.
She looked at her second brother's frown and comforted him, "Second brother, I know what I'm doing, you don't have to worry."
It would be a lie to say he wasn't worried. Qin Hai simply felt sorry for Qin Xiang's grades. "It's never too late to make money. There are still two months left. You must study hard. The capital is different from the provincial capital. If you can go to the capital, go there. Wouldn't it be more profitable to open a store in the capital than in the provincial capital?"
Qin Xiang nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Qin Hai, "You can't just say you know it, you have to actually do it."
Qin Xiang really understood this time, "I'm going to school to take the exam tomorrow, and I'm going to do my best."
In fact, if Qin Hai were to say, Qin Xiang should not start a business at this time and should focus on the college entrance examination. However, he understands that his sister is very generous and has her own ideas. It is very difficult to persuade her to change.
The second brother and his wife sat for a while and then prepared to leave. Qin Xiang sent them out and asked again, "Second brother, I don't have anyone to look after the wholesale business here. Are you really not going to do it?"
"No." Qin Hai looked at her and said, "Xiangxiang, let me tell you, your third brother is fine, but don't bring anyone else from our family or relatives into this. It's not good for your business. If there's anyone who really needs help, then just pay them the same salary as normal employees. Got it?"
Qin Xiang knew that her second brother was doing this for her own good, so she nodded, "I know, second brother, isn't it because you are my second brother?"
"It is precisely because I am your second brother that I don't want to take advantage of you." Qin Hai often came to help Mi Hongjun recently. Of course, he knew how profitable Qin Xiang's business was. He could make a lot in the county, and it would be even more in the provincial capital.
Are you jealous?
Who doesn't covet money? But Qin Hai has known since he was a child that if he wants something, he has to rely on himself and not on anyone else.
After the couple left, Qin Xiang closed the door, turned on the light, took out her textbooks and really prepared to cram for the exam.
After reading until after ten o'clock, Qin Xiang couldn't bear it any longer and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Qin Xiang went to Qingshui County No. 1 Middle School in high spirits.
At this time, students from the county's No. 1 Middle School were heading towards the examination room. Qin Xiang first went to Ning Sumei to get her admission ticket, and then joined the ranks of the examination team.
Today is actually not a monthly exam, but the first baseline test, which is particularly important for students because there will be a college entrance examination pre-examination in twenty days, and the first mock exam is just right to see the students' level.
When Wang Xiao saw Qin Xiang coming into the examination room, his face immediately fell.
What an injustice.
