"I see." Jiang Lei nodded, not asking further questions.

"Alright, I'll stop here. Call me when you're done at school."

Lin Yueshan said a few more words and ended the call.

...

After spending some time at the office, looking through the employee data, Qin Yun arranged some tasks and then left directly.

For the next few days, Celestial Fortune Company was operating smoothly, with various departments continuously improving.

Meanwhile, all twelve Celestial Fortune Clothing stores in Jinling started holding events.

With the Wealth Gathering Array, whether there were events or not, the effect was generally the same, so Qin Yun found it troublesome before and didn't do much.

However, Zhao Tianqiang was right, Celestial Fortune was expanding, but it was developing too quietly, lacking significant reputation, which led to even those with little strength daring to provoke them.

Therefore, expanding their reputation was necessary.

These matters were handled by professionals, and Qin Yun just needed to grasp the overall direction.

...

At Cold Dew Clothing, Zuo Han looked at the sales report in his hand, his expression clearly not looking good.

It was already mid-December, and half of December had passed, and it was almost two weeks since the reopening of Celestial Fortune Clothing.

During these two weeks, he spent money like water.

Previously, it was three stores competing with Celestial Fortune Clothing, but now there were eleven!

Qin Yun had issued a challenge, known to many in the Jinling fashion circle, watching silently. How could he back down?

So, he was pushing traffic for all eleven stores!

In these less than two weeks, he had already spent millions in cash!

Even if one store spent only ten thousand yuan a day for generating traffic, eleven stores cost over a hundred thousand yuan a day. In reality, the money spent was far more.

Now, after two weeks, all this money spent hadn't made any significant impact.

"President Zuo." At this moment, Zhang Yiyi stood beside Zuo Han, seeing his gloomy face, feeling a bit scared inside.

Celestial Fortune Clothing hadn't backed down at all, now battling with Cold Dew's eleven stores, and showed no signs of weakness, remaining bustling with business till now.

However, the better the business, the more pressure she felt.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Zhang Yiyi looked towards the store entrance, and Zuo Han also looked in that direction.

At the entrance, Qin Yun walked in, followed by Zhao Tianqiang.

"Qin Yun." Seeing the approaching young man, Zuo Han's expression instantly became calm.

Beside him, Zhang Yiyi's face slightly changed, turning her head slightly, feeling uneasy facing Qin Yun.

She was a betrayer of Celestial Fortune Clothing, so seeing the real boss of Celestial Fortune naturally made her feel uncomfortable.

"Zuo Han, you're too much, still imitating my store's styles till now." Looking at Zuo Han, Qin Yun seemed very "angry" as he said, "Aren't you afraid of the law?"

Seeing Qin Yun so angry, Zuo Han's somewhat anxious heart calmed a bit.

He smiled and said, "Qin Yun, clothing styles and clashing designs are quite normal."

"Hmph! You're a big brand store using these tactics, really tarnishing Cold Dew's name. If you have the capability, don't use these tactics, and face me in a fair fight!" Qin Yun said angrily.

But he didn't stay long before leaving, leaving Zuo Han pondering slightly.

"Looking at Qin Yun, can't Celestial Fortune Clothing last much longer?"

He was also uncertain in his heart, as every day money was being spent.

To others, Cold Dew Clothing seemed to be booming with business, but he knew it was all propped up with cash, bit by bit.

Just then, Zuo Han's phone suddenly rang.

Looking at the number, Zuo Han's face darkened slightly, but he quickly answered, speaking joyfully, "Big brother."

"Han, why haven't you resolved the issue with Celestial Fortune Clothing yet?"

Connecting the call, a displeased voice came from the other end, "Grandpa, dad, and the board are very dissatisfied with your current progress. The board even suggested sending someone else to manage the market in Su Province."

Hearing this, Zuo Han's expression slightly changed, saying, "Big brother, Celestial Fortune Clothing won't hold out for long."

"Alright, I trust your abilities, Han. I'll talk to the board and try to get you more time."

Zuo Han's big brother's voice came through, "I hope you won't disappoint us."

The voice was meaningful and after a few words, the call ended.

"Damn it!"

Clutching his phone, Zuo Han's face was so dark as if it could drip water.

Beside him, Zhang Yiyi saw Zuo Han's expression and felt even more afraid.

In her view, Zuo Han represented Cold Dew Clothing with a market value of over a billion yuan. He always seemed confident before, but now his expression was like this.

And it was caused by Celestial Fortune Clothing.

For the first time, Zhang Yiyi wondered if her decision to switch jobs here had been the right one.

...

"I wonder if Zuo Han has relaxed his vigilance a bit now?"

Walking out of Cold Dew Clothing, Qin Yun felt relaxed and at ease.

Now, with the two clothing stores in competition, Cold Dew Clothing was undoubtedly throwing money like crazy!

Qin Yun didn't believe that Cold Dew Clothing's eleven stores could genuinely compete with Celestial Fortune Clothing, which had the Wealth Gathering Array.

However, Qin Yun hoped that Cold Dew Clothing would hold out a little longer, meaning more money would be spent.

So, he would sometimes deliberately come to threaten a bit, making it seem like he was lacking confidence, hoping Zuo Han would hold out longer.

What he didn't know was that he had the best assist from Zuo Han's big brother.

If he had known, he would've definitely invited Zuo Han's big brother for a few drinks.

...

Jiangyuan University, Room 305, Boys' Dormitory.

"Hasn't Liu Xin come back yet?" Upon reaching the dorm, Qin Yun looked around and asked.

After the incident of being secretly photographed, Liu Xin wasn't at school the next day when Qin Yun came to the dormitory.

Zhao Kanghao and the others said Liu Xin hurried back home that night, probably due to some family incident, and it had been over ten days now.

"No, we called to ask, but he didn't say when he'd be back." Zhao Kanghao shook his head and replied.

"Sigh, Liu Xin is just too introverted, likes to keep everything to himself."

"Yeah, if he encounters any issues, maybe we could help somehow."

Qin Yun and Zhao Kanghao were talking, and at this time, Li Hanyu and Cheng Daxiong also spoke up.

Liu Xin lived in the dorm like an invisible man, easily overlooked.

Hearing their words, Qin Yun thought for a bit and made a phone call, but Liu Xin's phone was turned off at that moment.

Unable to reach him, Qin Yun also wondered if something had happened to him.

However, not long after, that same afternoon, Liu Xin suddenly returned to the dormitory.

At this time, Liu Xin looked very haggard, as if he hadn't slept for many days, with dark circles under his eyes and bloodshot eyes.
