Not far away, Qin Xuan and the others quickly noticed the situation on Sun Yadong's side.

"This Qiyun Clothing Store has completely taken the high-price route," Qin Xuan said in surprise.

Next to Qin Xuan, Qin Yun chuckled, "They probably think they'll sell more clothes if they raise the prices."

With a smile on his face, he slightly opened his right hand. Instantly, strange patterns appeared on the storefront of Qiyun Clothing Store and quickly converged, completely enveloping the Celestial Fortune Clothing Store beside him.

"It seems Sun Yadong and the others have completely taken the bait." Qin Yun thought to himself with a calm expression.

Normal clothing marketing is about observing what types of clothes are suitable for selling at your store. The ones that sell well, you stock more of, and the ones that don't sell are gradually eliminated. Almost all people running clothing stores do this.

However, Qin Yun previously used the primary Wealth Gathering Array to envelop the high-priced clothes at Qiyun Clothing Store, causing customers to only buy those expensive clothes. Gradually, this would make Sun Yadong believe that this level of clothing sells well.

Sure enough, as time passed, the high-priced clothes at his store increased from three or four styles to five or six, then over a dozen, and eventually more than twenty.

With more styles, Qin Yun's control over the duration of the primary Wealth Gathering Array enveloping Qiyun Clothing Store also gradually extended, causing the sales of those high-priced clothes to increase slowly, just as Sun Yadong imagined.

Finally, he thought that if he replaced all the clothes in the store with high-priced ones, sales would definitely go up even more!

Under Qin Yun's previous assumptions, Sun Yadong should purchase a large quantity of high-priced clothes at some point.

Now, he indeed did this.

"Since the goal is achieved, this primary Wealth Gathering Array will no longer cover Qiyun Clothing Store."

Spending some time each day enveloping Qiyun Clothing Store would inevitably affect the business of Celestial Fortune Clothing Store, but the impact wasn't significant. Moreover, business at both Celestial Fortune Clothing Stores was booming, with daily net profits of more than tens of thousands. Qin Yun didn't care much about this loss.

What's a little less money? But if there's a grudge, it must be avenged.

...

As Qin Yun was thinking, Sun Yadong and Sun Jianqiang were waiting inside Qiyun Clothing Store.

They eagerly watched every person coming and going.

In their view, if those who came to the store previously thought there were too few styles, now seeing so many styles, they would definitely make big purchases.

But, one hour... two hours...

Several hours passed, and hardly anyone came into the store.

"Jianqiang, why is business so quiet today?" Sun Yadong couldn't help but ask his son.

Previously, he hadn't made up his mind, watching potential customers leave. Now, with the entire store replaced with the high-priced clothes everyone wanted to buy, he was full of anticipation for the ensuing boom at Qiyun Clothing Store.

After all, for the past twenty days, daily sales had been increasing, and profits were continuously rising, so he remained confident.

But suddenly, his previously firm heart became uncertain.

Sun Jianqiang thought for a moment and said, "Dad, don't worry. Our store was also mostly empty during most times, but suddenly, more people came to buy clothes at certain times. Maybe the time hasn't come yet?"

When it comes to customers, who can control the timing? It's possible to have no business all day, and then suddenly have a big sale just before closing. Or, there could be a big sale right at opening, but nothing sells for the rest of the day. These things are totally unpredictable.

That's about the previous situation of their store.

"Maybe that's it." Sun Yadong nodded and continued to wait.

Finally, a group of people suddenly appeared outside, a family of seven. They looked at Qiyun Clothing Store and entered.

"Here comes the business!" Seeing seven people rushing in at once, Sun Yadong's eyes lit up and he quickly approached.

But before he could say anything, one person in the family said, "What the heck, why are the clothes in this store so expensive? They're all over a thousand yuan."

After his words, the others quickly chimed in.

"Oh my God, this piece is actually selling for 1,300 yuan."

"I thought I walked into one of those famous semi-luxury brand chain stores."

"Is the owner crazy about money?"

These people looked surprised, clearly not expecting the price of clothes in this small store to be so shocking.

Usually, only brand-name clothes are priced this high.

Although clothes now can cost thousands, even over ten thousand, most people wear clothes that are only a few hundred yuan, unable to afford such high expenses.

After speaking, this family directly left, completely scared away by the prices.

Sun Yadong didn't say a word, only watching them leave.

Beside him, Sun Jianqiang noticed his father's slightly somber expression, thought for a moment, and cautiously said, "Dad, it's still early. We close at ten tonight; surely someone will buy clothes. Let's wait a bit longer."

Sun Yadong nodded and remained silent.

The father and son continued to wait.

Evening six o'clock... evening seven o'clock... evening nine o'clock...

An hour passed, then another, and although a few people came into the store, they took one look at the prices and mostly turned around and left.

From afternoon to nearly ten hours into the night, the store's foot traffic dramatically decreased, and not a single piece of clothing was sold.

The sales on June 22 was just one piece, completed in the morning.

Qiyun Clothing Store had been operating for twenty-two days, and today was the day with the lowest sales volume.

...

The day quickly passed.

June 23rd at ten is when the college entrance exam scores are released. Early in the morning, Qin Guodong and Zhao Mei didn't go to the clothing store; instead, they stayed at home, gathered around a computer.

After the college entrance exam, Qin Yun bought a laptop.

He persuaded his parents to buy one too. Although Qin Guodong hadn't attended university, he did go to high school, so using the internet was no problem. But they said buying one was unnecessary.

"Yun, are your estimates accurate?"

Zhao Mei couldn't help but ask, "I heard from others that this year's college entrance exam was harder than the previous ones. You estimated your score to be more than ten points above last year's first-tier cutoff."

Previously, she was thrilled when Qin Yun said his estimated scores exceeded the first-tier line. But now, with the results almost out, she suddenly felt nervous.

Beside her, Qin Guodong said, "Aren't we familiar with Yun's character? He only underestimates his scores."

Though he said that, his tightly clenched hands revealed that he was also very nervous.

After raising a child for over ten years, the first major concern they have is getting their child into a good university.
