"Did my call get hung up?"

Hearing the "beep" sound from the phone, Wen Yun was stunned. An eighteen-year-old brat dared to hang up on her first?

However, thinking about Qin Yun's words, she felt a bit relieved in her heart.

Qin Yun had potential, as Xiao Lan had mentioned before. In Jinling, Qin Yun had opened several clothing stores, yet she didn't take it seriously.

There are plenty of people opening stores outside, but truly making it big is very difficult.

She had witnessed the entire process of Hengjun Machinery Factory from creation to eventual success, realizing its difficulty even more.

If not for some coincidences and various policy supports, Hengjun Machinery Factory would have failed numerous times halfway through.

Therefore, Qin Yun's chances of growing and succeeding were very low, she didn't think highly of him.

Just having potential means nothing. Why choose?

However, since Qin Yun and Xiao Lan had now broken up, no matter what else, her concern was directly resolved.

...

Clutching his phone, Qin Yun let out a deep breath.

He felt a bit suffocated, a bit angry, just feeling a fire he couldn't let out.

Previously, he was quite respectful towards Wen Yun, but after recent events, he really had no good feelings towards her and wasn't inclined to say more to her.

Standing on the road for a while, Qin Yun finally got into a taxi.

Arriving at a restaurant, Qin Yun called Qin Xiaotao, inviting him to have a meal.

In just a few minutes, Qin Xiaotao arrived.

In fact, Qin Yun had already been in contact with Qin Xiaotao before, just telling him to come out after he got off the car.

"Brother Xiaotao, have a drink with me," Qin Yun said.

Qin Xiaotao noticed Qin Yun's mood wasn't good, nodded, and drank with him.

As for Qin Xiaotao, he was in a pretty good mood because, three days ago, Hu Shanshan finally accepted his confession.

Today, after sending her home, he mustered the courage to finally hold Hu Shanshan's hand, and he was still quite excited.

After drinking, the fire in Qin Yun's heart subsided a little.

"Brother Xiaotao, how's the goods from the Qingwu County clothing factory?" he asked Qin Xiaotao.

Qin Xiaotao was responsible for the logistics of the Qingwu County clothing factory. Once they arrived, Zhao Tianqiang would inspect them. If there were any issues, he would report directly to Qin Xiaotao, so Qin Yun didn't have to worry.

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaotao replied, "The goods were delivered this morning, a total of fifty thousand pieces of clothing."

The Qingwu County clothing factory now had two hundred employees, surely producing more than these clothes. However, with it now being the end of October and temperatures steadily dropping,

Celestial Fortune Clothing previously sold short-sleeved T-shirts and other summer wear, now it's selling hoodies and other autumn apparel. These clothes are obviously more complex to make than short-sleeved T-shirts, but correspondingly, the price is higher too.

In comparison, Celestial Fortune Clothing now sells fewer clothes than before, but the profit is still significant.

After talking for a while, Qin Xiaotao suddenly said, "Yun, Hu Shanshan's cousin wants to work at our clothing store."

After saying that, he quickly explained, "Her cousin has worked in clothing stores before, just not in Jinling."

Qin Yun did not immediately agree. He glanced at Qin Xiaotao and asked, "Brother Xiaotao, how's your relationship with Hu Shanshan?"

Hearing Qin Yun ask about this, Qin Xiaotao felt a bit shy and said, "Shanshan is now my girlfriend."

"She's become your girlfriend?" Qin Yun was surprised.

"Brother Xiaotao moves pretty fast." He smiled and said, "Have you told Uncle and the others?"

"Not yet."

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Qin Xiaotao said, "I plan to bring Shanshan back in a while and give them a surprise."

He was very grateful to Qin Yun. If Qin Yun hadn't brought him to develop in Jinling, he wouldn't have such a high salary or be with Hu Shanshan.

Previously, his days were muddled, but now he's filled with hope.

Qin Yun thought that Qin Xiaotao should tell Qin Guoliang and them sooner, since he's already thirty years old.

Actually, Qin Xiaotao had enrolled two years late, so during his school days, he was the oldest in the class. Hu Shanshan is now two years younger than him.

At their age, it's indeed quite significant. If Qin Guoliang knew Qin Xiaotao was dating, he would certainly be happy.

But this was Qin Xiaotao's own matter, he couldn't intervene or make any decisions for him.

"A new store is about to open. After a few busy days, you can take a break, and then you can go back, Brother Xiaotao," Qin Yun said.

He was genuinely happy for Qin Xiaotao.

"Yun, about Hu Shanshan's cousin..." Qin Xiaotao nodded and hesitated for a moment before asking again.

"Of course, I will talk to Manager Zhao. There will be people from the old store transferring to the new store, so she can work at the old store," Qin Yun nodded.

If Hu Shanshan and Qin Xiaotao had remained at their previous status without any progress, he wouldn't have agreed, as plenty of people want to work at Celestial Fortune Clothing.

But now that Hu Shanshan is Qin Xiaotao's girlfriend, he certainly wouldn't refuse.

Thinking about his own situation, Qin Yun sighed again.

The sudden breakup must have hurt Xiao Lan significantly, but at least Xiao Lan wouldn't be trapped between him and his parents, torn, or even have fierce arguments with his mother.

After discussing some matters about the clothing factory, Qin Yun finally parted ways with Qin Xiaotao.

As he had been drinking, Qin Xiaotao didn't drive; however, his home was not far from there, about a twenty-minute walk.

Walking down the street, Qin Xiaotao texted Hu Shanshan.

[Qin Xiaotao: Shanshan, what are you doing? I just finished eating with Yun. I've talked to Yun about your cousin; Yun already agreed. (Grinning)]

Within seconds, Hu Shanshan replied.

[Hu Shanshan: Thank you, Xiaotao. By the way, what did you and President Qin eat?]

Seeing her reply brought a smile to Qin Xiaotao's face as he hurried to respond.

...

In the blink of an eye, November 1st arrived.

At Junqing Group headquarters, Feng Tianjun was reviewing the October sales figures for Junqing Clothing Store, submitted by Zhang Qinyue.

Although they spent most of October running promotions and giving away many prizes, they were still profitable in the end since a certain price was required to qualify for the lottery.

Of course, aside from these prize costs and the money spent on promoting their clothing on Douyin, their actual profits were quite low.

However, brand reputation is most important; establishing fame means these profits can be earned back later on.

"Manager Zhang, our Junqing Clothing Store's reputation has now been initially established, so let's start preparing for the second store, aiming to open it at the beginning of January," Feng Tianjun said.

"Yes, I've already been planning these things,"

Zhang Qinyue nodded.

Concerning Junqing Clothing Store, Feng Tianjun had delegated almost all authority to her, giving her considerable freedom to make decisions.

"President Feng, our competitor Celestial Fortune Clothing on the commercial street is now preparing to open their seventh branch with an area of 230 square meters."

After reporting these details, Zhang Qinyue suddenly said, "Additionally, there are two more 40-square-meter branches waiting to open, making a total of nine stores."

"Celestial Fortune Clothing?" Feng Tianjun was slightly surprised.

He was aware that the owner of Celestial Fortune Clothing had previously won their first car grand prize.

But afterward, he hadn't paid much attention. His restaurant had previously hosted some dignitaries for meetings, and he'd been busy with the restaurant-related matters.
