Chapter 57
Qin Xiang was stunned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Uncle Ge, what are you talking about? He's handsome, so I'll just take a second look at him. His family situation has nothing to do with me."
She was crazy, she just jumped out of the mud pit and then into the shit pit.
Thank you for the invitation. She doesn’t want any better man.
Seeing that what she said didn't sound like a lie, Uncle Ge finally felt relieved. "That's good. You can throw the business card away. I don't want it."
After saying that, Uncle Ge pushed the door open and left.
Qin Xiang looked at the business card in her hand, thought about it and decided to keep it.
Uncle Ge is at least sixty years old. I've learned over the past few days that he has no children or other relatives. Now that a nephew has finally appeared, if anything happens, at least there's someone to look for.
So Qin Xiang put the business card back into the cabinet and continued studying.
As for Ning Sumei, she took Qin Xiang's test paper to make a photocopy that day and then couldn't wait to return to Qingshui County No. 1 Middle School.
After showing the test paper to others, even Teacher Qi couldn't say a word.
Teacher He sighed, "Qin Xiang is such a good student."
If he were Qin Xiang, he would probably keep his knowledge to himself. After all, being the best in the county is great. What if others learn more and surpass him?
But Qin Xiang has such a broad vision. Not only does she take what she has for herself, she also generously shares it with others. This is a rare and precious thing.
Teacher Qi was in a state of mixed emotions and immediately said, "Perhaps it's because her reputation is so bad that she's deliberately using this to win people over."
Upon hearing this, Teacher He flew into a rage. "Who does she need to win over? She's not even at school, so who does she need to win over? Why would she need to? What's wrong with her divorce? It's because the man was a bad person. Why waste her best years on a man like that just for the sake of reputation? I think her divorce was absolutely right. It's generous of her to hand over the test paper. Since Teacher Qi doesn't appreciate it, don't use it."
Teacher Qi was furious, "You."
Teacher He snorted, "After all, I am Qin Xiang's nominal homeroom teacher. I won't give you the test paper if I say so."
Teacher Qi couldn't hold it in anymore. He looked at Ning Sumei and said, "Director Ning."
Ning Sumei's expression was not good either. "You look down on her, so it's really inappropriate to use her paper. So forget it."
After saying that, he left.
Teacher Qi glared. If the students knew this, they would hate him to death.
Teacher Qi was so angry that he had to talk to Teacher He, "Teacher He."
"Bah." Teacher He said in disgust, "Go and pay for the photocopy yourself."
Teacher Qi: “…”
Oh shit.
Teacher He didn't hide it either. When handing out the test papers, she told the class, "This is the test paper Qin Xiang got from the Provincial Experimental Middle School. She also promised to share it with everyone if she had the chance to get it."
He looked at the students in the class and said earnestly, "Classmates, I know some people are secretly trying to discredit Qin Xiang, thinking she's unworthy of studying at our school. But I want to say, if she's not worthy, then no one else is. Many people say divorce has a bad reputation, but that depends on who it's because of. She divorced her husband because he cheated on her. She didn't give up on herself, but instead chose to return to school. Many people can't compare to her in this respect."
They are all repeaters of senior year, and some of them are in their early twenties. They understand the principles they should understand and know what is good and what is bad.
Teacher He is usually a good-natured person who likes to smooth things over, and he rarely gets angry.
Teacher He said, "I admire Qin Xiang. I admire her courage in the face of adversity. I admire her openness and her concern for students she doesn't even know well. Let me tell you, those English grammar materials we had everyone copying were also compiled by Qin Xiang. She scored over 90 in English on the entrance exam. Who among you could have scored that high? Even on the mock exam she just took, she still only scored 98 in English. With all that information, anyone who dares to speak ill of her behind her back is heartless."
If Qin Xiang were here, she would probably apologize to Teacher He: Sorry, it was just because of Teacher Ning.
But right now, the students in the class are indeed very excited and very grateful for Qin Xiang's efforts.
As for Qin Xiang, she knew nothing about these things. She was busy enough every day managing two sales assistants and studying.
Three or four days after the job posting, someone finally came for an interview. Unfortunately, Qin Xiang tried it and felt that she was not qualified, so she had to reject the other party with regret.
The little girl was rejected and felt embarrassed. She stood up and said, "I don't want it."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Qin Xiang couldn't help but laugh.
This is because reality hasn't defeated me.
There are actually many young people who are unemployed in cities nowadays.
But being a self-employed person is not respectable, let alone working for a self-employed person. But when you can't even guarantee your life, and still want to maintain your reputation, then there is no way.
Tan Xiu frowned and came over, "You want to be with us, but we don't want it."
Qin Xiang laughed and said, "It's okay, someone will come."
As soon as he finished speaking, two girls came in through the door. They seemed very embarrassed and pushed each other as they came in together.
When the two girls saw Qin Xiang, their eyes lit up. Qin Xiang asked, "Hello, are you here to buy clothes or apply for a job?"
The two girls smiled sheepishly, "We are here to apply for a job."
Very good, two of them at once, and they look pretty good.
After a conversation, Qin Xiang kept both girls and gave one to Miao Xiaofeng and one to Tan Xiu to take care of.
Tan Xiu was very excited, "Sister Xiangxiang, please let me take care of it."
"Well, you lead." Qin Xiang encouraged, "You have almost a month's more experience. I trust you."
Qin Xiang also said to Tan Xiu privately, "If you work hard, maybe we'll let you be the store manager when we open a branch in the future."
Tan Xiu's eyes lit up. "Will there be a salary increase?"
Qin Xiang smiled, "Of course."
The probation period for the two of them was coming to an end. Taking advantage of her free time, Qin Xiang held a small meeting with them to ask for their opinions. When she learned that they both wanted to stay, Qin Xiang took out the employment contract she had prepared long ago and said, "This contract is for one year. Take a look at it. If you have no problem, you can sign it."
The two looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes. They quickly browsed through it and signed their names when they felt there was no problem.
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Okay, you'll be a formal employee of the store from now on. Work hard and strive to become the store manager in the future."
Tan Xiu nodded hurriedly, "I will try my best."
Miao Xiaofeng also nodded and said, "I will do my best."
With two new employees in the store, Qin Xiang was inevitably a little busier, so she asked the two new employees to come early in the morning to help with the merchandising and learn about clothing matching.
Life was going smoothly, and Qin Xiang thought things would be peaceful forever. Suddenly, one day, a few people came to the store. They looked at the things in the store and said to Qin Xiang, "We rented this store. How much is it? I'll give it to you."
Qin Xiang looked at the young man in the lead who was greedily looking at the things in the store, and realized that her business was booming during this period and people were jealous.
Several shop assistants were a little scared and hid aside, not daring to move.
Qin Xiang looked at the other person and said, "Sorry, we have rented this store for three years. If you like it, please come back in three years."
Seeing that she was ungrateful, Liu Hongqiang was immediately displeased, and his eyes fell on Qin Xiang's face impudently, "Okay, even after three years, you can be my wife first."
After he finished speaking, the men following him also burst into laughter.
Qin Xiang felt sick, but she also knew that it was not a good time to force the issue. There were four men in their group, but they only had five women. They couldn't win in a fight, and logically speaking, this man was probably not a reasonable person.
She walked towards the man. Fortunately, the men were standing at the door. Qin Xiang walked over, looked at them, and suddenly kicked them out. Then she quickly closed the two doors.
Seeing that the four shop assistants were still stunned, he hurriedly shouted, "Come over and help."
"profound."
Tan Xiu and others hurried over to help hold the door and managed to insert the bolt.
Liu Hongqiang, who was outside, never expected to be kicked by a woman. He immediately became furious and raised his foot to bang on the door. "You little girl are quite wild. Open the door quickly. I will teach you a lesson."
Qin Xiang would be foolish if she opened the door at this time. She just hoped that someone outside would see her and report to the police station quickly.
There are all kinds of people here. When Third Brother comes back, we must find a capable retired soldier to keep things under control, otherwise who knows when someone will come to cause trouble again.
She wasn't afraid of these people, and she didn't think they would dare to hurt anyone, after all, they still wanted to do business here. But she would be really distressed if they smashed the clothes in her store.
At this moment, someone outside suddenly shouted, "What are you doing? Are you looking for death?"
Qin Xiang was stunned and hurried to the window to look, only to see Grandpa Ge looking at the young men with an angry face, and standing next to him was his nephew Meng Huaiqing. The four bodyguards in black standing there were very scary.
Qin Xiang suddenly lost her fear and took the initiative to open the door. Liu Hongqiang and others scolded her, "Little girl."
Qin Xiang was too lazy to pay attention to her and just looked at Meng Huaiqing, "Mr. Landlord, they want to rent a house."
Liu Hongqiang and others were stunned and looked at Meng Huaiqing.
They really had no intention of harming anyone; they simply had a crush on the place. The old man had been unwilling to rent it to them when they'd come before, but he'd rented it out instead. These past few days, he'd been setting up a stall in the square, watching the constant flow of people into this shop. It had made him jealous, but he didn't dare come over, knowing there was a tough-looking man in charge.
It was because he hadn't seen that person in the past two days that he brought people here.
His purpose was to scare people, thinking that if he scared a little girl, he might be able to sublease the store to him. He didn't expect that he was such a powerful person.
However, this landlord didn't look easy to deal with. Liu Hongqiang thought for a moment and said, "This is a misunderstanding..."
Meng Huaiqing showed little expression, as if he hadn't heard what was said. He said to the person behind him, "Send him to the police station. He is threatening others and attempting to rob a private house."
"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, the police will investigate it thoroughly." Meng Huaiqing said to Uncle Ge, "Uncle, I'm leaving first. I'll leave a few people here. If you need anything, you can go find them."
After saying this, Meng Huaiqing nodded to Qin Xiang, then got into the car and drove away.
The four bodyguards ignored the calls of Liu Hongqiang and others and dragged the people away one by one.
Liu Hongqiang and the others knew they were no match for Qin Xiang, so they begged for mercy. "Boss, we're sorry. We apologize to you. Please don't send us to the police station. We really won't do that again. We didn't mean to smash anything, we just wanted to scare you."
Several other people also begged for mercy.
Looking at their expressions, Qin Xiang actually believed it. Uncle Ge whispered, "They came to rent a house before, but I didn't rent it because of their bad words. They were also the ones who set up stalls in the square."
Qin Xiang understood immediately and said after thinking for a moment, "Okay, but you have to write me a letter of guarantee."
Liu Hongqiang said hurriedly, "I'll write, I'll write. I'll write whatever you tell me to write."
Qin Xiang glanced at Uncle Ge, who said to the four men, "Forget it, let them go."
The bodyguards received orders from their master and knew they had to obey Mr. Ge, so they stopped trying to stop him.
But he still watched Liu Hongqiang and the others write a letter of guarantee and put their fingerprints on it before letting them leave.
Liu Hongqiang and the others looked at Qin Xiang and said, "Brother, you guys didn't recognize a great man. You're sorry for offending us today."
Qin Xiang said nothing, and Liu Hongqiang ran away with his three brothers.
Uncle Ge said, "If you have any problems, just call the police. If I can't do anything else, I can probably call the police."
After all, the house was rented out from him, so there was no reason to let the tenant get hurt.
Qin Xiang was extremely grateful, "Thank you so much for today, Uncle Ge."
She could see that Meng Huaiqing looked gentle, but was actually a very cold person. If the house didn't belong to him and Uncle Ge wasn't next door, he probably wouldn't have paid any attention to him.
Qin Xiang sighed and expressed his gratitude to Uncle Ge. Seeing that it was getting late, he quickly packed up with the others.
Qin Yang was gone for ten days and came back on the eleventh day, carrying two sacks of goods with him. As for the rest, they had all been checked in.
After carrying the items to the store, Qin Yang said, "These are all new products. They were selected by Guan Zhibin. I don't know if they are good or not, so I brought them back for you to take a look."
"Pour it out first and see."
Two large sacks were quite a lot, so the brother and sister spread the things on the ground and poured out the clothes. Qin Xiang opened one at random, and it was an army green skirt, but this skirt was well designed and not outdated, and it looked good at first glance.
Qin Yang frowned and asked, "Why did you put one of this color?"
"This color is also good." Qin Xiang looked at the size and called over the new store clerk Zhao Xiaofei, "Xiaofei, go put this on."
One style often comes in several colors. The same style also comes in bright red, white, and light blue, and there are many other styles as well.
Qin Xiang asked a few people to hang the new clothes in a conspicuous place, and then put away the remaining goods.
The next day, the consignment of goods arrived and there were more clothes in the store.
From the opening to now, business has been good. The turnover has increased from 600 to 700 yuan a day to 1,200 to 1,300 yuan at most, which is a considerable profit.
After Qin Yang came back, Qin Xiang told him about Liu Hongqiang's situation, "Third brother, we need to find someone to come and look after the place. We don't have a strong foundation in the provincial capital, so we must ensure safety."
Qin Yang actually had some impression of Liu Hongqiang and the others. After hearing what Qin Xiang said, he was also frightened. Liu Hongqiang and the others were just trying to scare people, but what about the others? Would they think this was a piece of fat meat that was easy to bite?
Qin Yang nodded, "I understand. I'll come find someone."
Qin Xiang was relieved that her third brother had returned. After studying, she went to the university town to look for a suitable store.
But the store had not been found yet, and Mi Hongjun from Qingshui County called again.
"Sister Xiangxiang, someone wants to take over Qingshui County."
