"Lanlan, take good care of yourself in Jinling. The weather has suddenly gotten colder, so wear more clothes. Your dad and I will come to see you in a couple of days."

Xiao Lan held her phone as Wen Yun's voice came through the call.

"I understand," Xiao Lan nodded.

The mother and daughter chatted for a while. Just as Xiao Lan was about to hang up, Wen Yun suddenly said, "I heard that Qin Yun's Celestial Fortune Clothing store has closed down."

Hearing Wen Yun's words, Xiao Lan fell silent, unwilling to discuss this topic with her.

The last time, because of her mother, Qin Yun chose to let go without looking back. They hadn't talked about this topic ever since.

But now, it was the first time Wen Yun mentioned it again.

Seeing her daughter remain silent, Wen Yun sighed and said, "Lanlan, don't blame mom for what happened before. I have always said that starting from scratch is extremely difficult now, and it's astonishingly hard to succeed with a clothing store. When it's small, it might make a little money, but once it expands, it's easy for others to suppress. The clothing market is saturated now, and for Qin Yun to truly grow, it's almost impossible."

From Wen Yun's perspective, it was quite reasonable to keep her daughter away from someone like Qin Yun.

Their family, if not worth hundreds of millions, was at least close. Such a family was among the top in a small place like Qingwu County, not to mention that the richest person there was from their own clan.

Ordinarily, they frequently met with people like the county chief of Qingwu County.

In comparison, she had investigated Qin Yun's situation and found that his family was poor. His hometown was a small village; their house was bought on loan, his father worked on construction sites, and his mother did odd jobs to make ends meet.

After that, it was only when Qin Yun opened a clothing store that his parents came to help out there.

How could someone like Qin Yun's family possibly connect with theirs?

Even if Qin Yun had talent, so what?

This is no longer the 1990s; the chances of building wealth from scratch are zero.

In her view, the best partner for her daughter Xiao Lan would be someone from a similarly well-off family who was also very outstanding.

Similar to Xiao Qianqian's partner, Feng Tianjun.

This way, her daughter wouldn't have to suffer in the future.

Hearing Wen Yun's words, Xiao Lan paused before saying, "The Celestial Fortune Clothing store did not close, and Qin Yun is the most outstanding person I have ever met."

"It didn't close?" Wen Yun was taken aback.

"Alright, mom, I have to go to class, let's not talk anymore," Xiao Lan said before hanging up the call promptly.

As for Wen Yun, she was left in a daze for a long while.

Beside Wen Yun, Xiao Pingjun who overheard the mother and daughter's call, frowned and said, "Why did you talk to Lanlan about Qin Yun again?"

Wen Yun's strong personality was fine outside, but at home, especially with their daughter, Xiao Pingjun was quite displeased.

Wen Yun didn't respond to Xiao Pingjun, her mind continually on Xiao Lan's words.

After standing dazed for a long while, she directly called Xiao Qianqian.

Subsequently, her expression kept changing.

"How is it possible? The Celestial Fortune Clothing store that closed down reopened and even opened twelve stores, all of which are reportedly purchased in full. How did Qin Yun pull this off?"

Wen Yun was utterly shocked, unable to believe Xiao Qianqian's words.

According to what Xiao Qianqian just said, Qin Yun might have bought all twelve clothing stores outright, which would require at least over sixty million in cash!

Even their family couldn't come up with sixty million just like that.

Qin Yun, this young man of ordinary background, who only opened a clothing store a few months ago, actually achieved this!

Wasn't he just a poor boy in her eyes?

...

On the other end, Xiao Qianqian hung up the call with Wen Yun. She had just investigated everything, and then Wen Yun's call came.

Beside Xiao Qianqian, Feng Tianjun also had a distinct look of surprise on his face.

"It seems now, the reason Zuo Han suddenly changed his tone earlier was due to matters concerning the Celestial Fortune Clothing store,"

Feng Tianjun couldn't help but say, "How did Qin Yun manage this? Where did he get the money?"

"No idea,"

Xiao Qianqian shook her head and said, "Qin Yun's family is very ordinary. Even if his clothing store was really popular before, the money he made couldn't cover buying the shops in full."

Buying shops in full requires money, anyone can do it, but the question is, where did Qin Yun's money come from?

Due to Wen Yun's influence, Xiao Qianqian was quite familiar with Qin Yun's family background, so Feng Tianjun surely knew about it too.

From such an ordinary background, suddenly to have a large sum of money like that was something he found hard to understand.

"Nevertheless, Zuo Han is in trouble now."

Amidst his astonishment, Feng Tianjun suddenly said.

Previously, he hadn't gotten involved in matters between Celestial Fortune Clothing and Cold Dew Clothing, so he wasn't worried at all.

It could be said he and Qin Yun were somewhat acquainted.

But the fact that Zuo Han's Cold Dew Clothing is pressing down on Qin Yun's Celestial Fortune Clothing, and the reason behind it, he also knew it. But now that Celestial Fortune Clothing suddenly showed such capability, Zuo Han must be troubled.

...

The reopening of the Celestial Fortune Clothing store caused shock among many people.

Many continued to watch the business competition between Celestial Fortune and Cold Dew, while Qin Yun was no longer worried; he wished that Cold Dew Clothing would continue to insist.

At this moment, Qin Yun was having a meal with Xiao Lan, as well as Zhou Yang and Zhang Xiaoya.

Finding a rare moment of relaxation, he had invited Xiao Lan, Zhou Yang, and Zhang Xiaoya out for a meal.

"Come on, let's cheers!"

Zhou Yang said openly, raising his glass and drinking it down in one go before pouring another, seeming to really enjoy drinking.

"Zhou Yang, after just over three months at university, your alcohol tolerance has improved a lot," Qin Yun said in surprise.

In high school, parents would typically not allow them to drink alcohol; even during the New Year's celebrations, they would only drink soda.

After entering university, when the dorm-mates went out for meals, they wouldn't order soda anymore, usually choosing beer.

"Of course, I'm the king of drinking in our dorm now," Zhou Yang said proudly, "when we went out drinking before, everyone else got knocked out except for me, who was still sober."

Alcohol affects people differently; some get drunk with just one sip while others seem unbothered by a thousand.

"It's best to drink less though; drinking too much has no benefits."

Qin Yun clinked glasses with him.

"I know, right."

Beside him, Zhang Xiaoya agreed with Qin Yun, seriously nodding her head, saying, "I've heard that drinking too much beer tends to give you a beer belly."

After speaking, Zhang Xiaoya cast a glance at Zhou Yang's belly.

Zhou Yang paused with his beer glass in mid-air.

He also glanced at his own belly, suddenly finding the beer less sweet.
