Zuo Han furrowed his brow.

This type of event is most captivating when winners come up on stage one by one, making everyone feel envious and wish that they could win too.

It is under this envy that there is a significant potential to ignite a desire to spend.

"Well..." The middle-aged man, Lin Hu, stammered, "Perhaps those people just didn't come."

According to his statistics, those attending the event accounted for about eighty percent of the people who bought clothes, and it so happened that the winners were in the remaining twenty percent.

Though this possibility is slim, it is entirely feasible.

Zuo Han slightly furrowed his brow, saying nothing as he continued watching.

Meanwhile, the host on the square continued allowing people to choose lottery tickets. To prevent any cheating, each selection was followed by a shuffle of the tickets in the long box.

Yet only a small handful came forward to claim their prizes.

After three hours, the winning ticket number for the grand prize appeared, but awkwardly, no one came up to claim this largest prize.

"What's going on? So few people are claiming their prizes?"

"Maybe they're elsewhere; there's no chance of fraud in Cold Dew's lottery event."

"Ah, the event's over. I had thirty tickets and didn't win anything."

The last ticket number emerged, and the eager faces of the crowd in the square turned to disappointment.

They had been waiting here for hours, only to gain nothing.

However, since the chances of winning were inherently low, they were just disappointed without any further thoughts.

Moreover, even if they didn't win this time, the tickets still had value for the future.

The square was in disarray, while Qin Yun felt a sense of joy in his heart.

"Out of two hundred and eighty-seven tickets, two hundred and thirty-one won, with the prizes totaling about two million."

This three-million event by Cold Dew was hijacked by him, gaining two million!

"Not many people have left yet, so it's a good time to claim the prizes and further damage Cold Dew's reputation."

...

On Jinling Central Square, while some people had left, the large screen and ticket numbers remained.

Several people quickly ran over.

"We're here to claim our prizes!"

Upon hearing them, the host chuckled and said, "It seems many didn't come earlier. What did you win?"

He looked at the newcomers and asked.

Under his gaze, the youths pulled out a large pile of tickets and said, "These, these are all of them."

They laid out the tickets one by one.

"What's going on?"

"How do these people have so many winning tickets?"

"Could they be stooges?"

The crowd in the square also noticed this scene, and upon seeing the youths with their tickets, their expressions changed.

Earlier, when few were winning, they thought it was odd how nobody came here.

This oddity was suppressed in their hearts until the current situation clearly seemed off.

"They must be stooges!"

"Yeah, otherwise, how could there be so few winners?"

"No wonder Cold Dew is so flush, offering a three-million lottery. It turns out most of it was internally digested."

"It can't be; if it were internal, these people wouldn't come to claim prizes now, and there was no opportunity for cheating in the earlier lottery."

"Who knows, but there's something fishy about this lottery! Cold Dew had previous scandals, showing their dark sides."

Within seconds, the square was abuzz with chatter, many people discussing.

Meanwhile, the youths began taking items corresponding to the ticket numbers on the big screen.

The host was panicking, and Zuo Han's face turned even grimmer.

The live broadcast on the phone wasn't turned off, and the comments in the chatroom were constantly updating.

"What's happening here?"

"How did these guys win so many prizes?"

"Could they be stooges hired by Cold Dew?"

"It's possible!"

Zuo Han saw the comments, and his face darkened further.

"What's going on with the lottery tickets?" Zuo Han asked the middle-aged man Lin Hu grimly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Hu panicked, "President Zuo, I don't know. The lottery system couldn't have been tampered with."

He was full of confusion, not knowing what was happening.

Could it be that luck was overwhelmingly on these youths' side, and they drew most of the winning tickets?

As Zuo Han continued to watch the video while speaking.

"I said Cold Dew's clothes should not be bought; that previous scandal exposed that Cold Dew is no good."

"What nonsense, internally digesting lottery prizes; no wonder I didn't win. I'll go to Cold Dew's store and return the clothes!"

"Same here!"

Comments flashed by.

"Damn it!"

Looking at these comments, Zuo Han's expression was so gloomy it seemed water would drip from it.

...

Zuo Han's heart was immensely heavy, whereas Qin Yun felt quite happy.

He instructed those people to further dismantle Cold Dew, and he and Zhao Tianqiang headed straight to Rongyang City.

The date was January 1st, and on the way to Rongyang City, the Wealth Gathering Array finally updated.

"Name: Qin Yun."

"Level 2 Wealth Gathering Array: 5 units"

"Level 1 Wealth Gathering Array: 14 units"

"Balance: 18,953,000"

As the clock struck twelve, lines of information, followed by mechanical-like voices, echoed in Qin Yun's mind.

"Balance has not reached one hundred million and is insufficient to activate the Level 3 Wealth Gathering Array."

"Each first day of the month, you may activate one Level 2 Wealth Gathering Array and two Level 1 Wealth Gathering Arrays."

"Currently, there are 5 Level 2 Wealth Gathering Arrays, with 4 used, and 14 Level 1 Wealth Gathering Arrays, with 12 used."

"The next Wealth System information update will be at noon on February 1st."

As the voices ceased, Qin Yun sensed three strange luminescent points in his mind.

"The profit for this month increased by about seven million."

Reviewing the information, Qin Yun felt assured.

"With a dozen stores, achieving seven million in pure profit in a month! Last month, I barely made five million in pure profit."

"The balance is also nearing twenty million!"

Upgrading to a Level 3 Wealth Gathering Array requires a balance of one hundred million, which Qin Yun had once felt distant. However, since the opening of the Level 2 Wealth Gathering Array on September 1st, he had accumulated twenty million in just four months!

According to Qin Yun's calculations, at the latest, he should be able to activate the Level 3 Wealth Gathering Array within half a year!

By then, he would have just begun his sophomore year in college.

At around one in the afternoon, Qin Yun finally arrived at Celestial Fortune Clothing store in Rongyang City.

"President Qin."

As he arrived, a woman in her thirties quickly approached him. Wearing high heels and with a professional demeanor, her face looked familiar; she was Zhou Jinlan.

Zhou Jinlan was the manager of the first large Celestial Fortune store he opened in Jinling, now transferred to Rongyang City, in charge of operations here.

She managed not just one, but three locations.
