The two chose a restaurant and were about to head there. On the way, Qin Yun once again found an opportunity to hold Xiao Lan's hand.

This time, Xiao Lan wasn't as nervous as before. She glanced at Qin Yun, who pretended to be calm, and asked, "Qin Yun, what are you doing?"

She raised her hand.

"What do you mean?" Qin Yun asked deliberately.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lan immediately got annoyed and said, "Qin Yun, you're holding my hand and still asking me what I'm doing?"

Qin Yun smiled. He really liked the feeling of holding hands and had a great liking for Xiao Lan. Since the girl also seemed to like him, there was actually no need for him to be shy.

"Do you want to hear the reason?"

Qin Yun's face suddenly became serious as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lan didn't say anything. She thought for a moment and said, "I don't want to hear it now."

"Alright then."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yun smiled and said, "I'll tell you some other time when the opportunity arises."

He understood Xiao Lan's meaning; right now wasn't actually a good time to confess. Their relationship had suddenly advanced. Xiao Lan probably wasn't mentally prepared.

Despite this, Qin Yun still held onto Xiao Lan's hand without letting go.

After they finished eating, they wandered around for a while before Qin Yun took her home.

Afterwards, Qin Yun didn't go back but called a car and headed to the clothing store.

When he got there, store manager Hu Qian was standing in one spot, and there was a girl in front of her.

Seeing this girl, Qin Yun was taken aback.

"Zhou Xiaoke?"

She was from Zhang Xiaoyue's dormitory, ordinarily looking, usually didn't talk much, a rather invisible presence.

"Alright, your qualifications basically meet the requirements of our store. You can come tomorrow for some training and start working then." Hu Qian said to Zhou Xiaoke.

For recruiting part-timers in the store, the salary wasn't very high, so the requirements weren't very strict.

"Thank you, manager." Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoke's face immediately lit up with joy, and she hurriedly thanked her.

Working part-time here earns fifteen yuan an hour, and you can make over two hundred yuan a week.

After expressing her thanks, Zhou Xiaoke suddenly noticed a familiar figure not far away.

"Qin Yun?"

Zhou Xiaoke saw Qin Yun walking towards them.

She certainly recognized Qin Yun, knowing that Lin Mengmeng from their dorm liked him. However, in the past month or so, she and Qin Yun hadn't exchanged many words at all.

The dorm mates had previously mentioned something about Qin Yun renting an apartment.

"President Qin."

In her mind, Hu Qian quickly stepped forward and called out.

"This is the recent list of part-time staff in the store." She handed over some documents she was holding.

"Okay." Qin Yun nodded and took the documents.

He smiled at Zhou Xiaoke but didn't say much.

Their conversation was completely overheard by Zhou Xiaoke, which left her looking stunned.

Just because she was quiet didn't mean she was dumb. Getting into Jiangyuan University meant she was very smart. The store manager who interviewed her actually called Qin Yun "President Qin," which meant this store was opened by Qin Yun!

This store has an area of over two hundred square meters and had many customers buying clothes; Zhang Xiaoyue, Jiang Yi, Lin Mengmeng, and others had all bought a few pieces before.

She noted the prices were quite affordable, thinking she'd come here to buy clothes if needed.

In her view, the one who could afford to open a clothing store must be quite capable, but she hadn't expected it to be her classmate.

"Is the shop in the commercial street also opened by Qin Yun?"

Zhou Xiaoke recalled the shop on the commercial street.

The dormmates had previously talked about Qin Yun wasting money.

With mixed feelings, Zhou Xiaoke left the clothing store.

"President Qin, do you know the Zhou Xiaoke from earlier?" After reporting some matters, Hu Qian asked curiously.

Judging by the situation just now, it was obvious they had met before.

"Classmate." Qin Yun nodded and said.

Hearing this, Hu Qian was taken aback, not expecting to recruit a part-timer who was the boss's classmate.

Seeing Hu Qian's expression, Qin Yun calmly said, "Do what you need to do, no special treatment because she's my classmate."

"Understood, President Qin." Hu Qian nodded.

She knew that Qin Yun's cousin was also in the store but received no special treatment.

At this moment, Zhao Dongxue noticed Qin Yun's arrival and, after serving a customer, quickly walked over happily, "Cousin Qin Yun."

Seeing his cousin, Qin Yun asked, "Xue, how's the work here? Anything you find uncomfortable?"

"No," Zhao Dongxue shook her head.

Though she said so, she felt a bit frustrated inside.

She had told her father about it before, but Qin Yun showed no indication of favoritism or special treatment for her.

Her previous job was found by her parents, and she was always taken care of, thinking it would be the same here with Qin Yun. But this was like a cold splash of water.

This cousin of hers wasn't being particularly nice to her.

In the past few days at the store, many people talked about how capable Qin Yun was. She felt dissatisfied but also proud and admiring of her cousin Qin Yun.

Though usually brave and fearless, under the influence of these emotions, she became somewhat reserved around Qin Yun, afraid of making him unhappy.

"That's good, keep up the hard work." Unaware of Zhao Dongxue's thoughts, Qin Yun patted her shoulder.

After a few words, Qin Yun left.

...

In the girls' dormitory room 406, Zhou Xiaoke walked in.

Even after returning to the dormitory, she couldn't stop thinking about the clothing store and Qin Yun being the boss of Celestial Fortune Clothing.

This news had too much impact on her.

Having someone you know suddenly turn out to be a big boss, it's impossible for anyone to remain calm upon learning this.

"Xiaoke's back?"

"Did you get the job?"

Seeing Zhou Xiaoke, Jiang Yi, Zhang Xiaoyue, and others asked immediately.

They were nearly on their way back to the dorm when Celestial Fortune Clothing called, saying the manager was back and asking if Zhou Xiaoke had time to go for an interview, which she couldn't refuse, so she hurried back.

"Yes, I got it. I'll go for some training tomorrow and start work next week after training." Zhou Xiaoke nodded.

After her words, Jiang Yi and others immediately congratulated her, saying they'd shop more at Celestial Fortune Clothing and support Zhou Xiaoke's business.

Seeing the happy roommates, Zhou Xiaoke thought for a moment but still chose not to reveal the matter about Qin Yun.

Qin Yun opened the clothing store, but from the looks of male dormmates Zhao Kanghao, Cheng Daxiong, and others, they didn't know about it.

Since Qin Yun hadn't mentioned it himself, there must be some reason, possibly worrying it might affect his relationship with classmates, so naturally, she wouldn't choose to reveal it.

Now working part-time at Celestial Fortune Clothing, if she mentioned it and made Qin Yun angry, she might lose the job.
