"581 points, this score can definitely get you into a 211, maybe even a 985."

"My brother also took the college entrance exam this year, but he only got 481 points, far from the cutoff line for the first tier. My parents are furious."

"Running a clothing store with such great business and getting such good grades, the boss is really amazing."

A few employees whispered among themselves.

They knew the clothing store was opened by Qin Yun single-handedly, and now the business was booming every day. Naturally, they had a bit of admiration for Qin Yun, and even entertained some ideas.

However, such thoughts were quickly suppressed. They were at least over twenty-five, while Qin Yun had just graduated high school and was only eighteen, way too big of an age difference.

After checking the store's situation, Qin Yun asked, "Sis, how are the other store locations coming along?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xuan replied, "There are five options now."

She looked at Qin Yun, paused for a moment, and said, "Yun, are we really going to open another branch next month?"

This was what Qin Yun had told her previously.

"Yeah, not just in July, but I want to open another branch in August too," Qin Yun said with a smile.

Before going to college, he wanted to set up four primary Wealth Gathering Arrays, precisely four stores, all opened in Qingwu County, for his parents and sister to manage.

"Another clothing store?" Qin Xuan asked.

After a brief contemplation, Qin Yun shook his head and said, "This time we're not opening a clothing store, we're opening a shoe store."

With the Wealth Gathering Array, he could make money no matter what store he opened, so there was no need to stick to clothing stores.

The key was that Qingwu County was too small. If he kept opening clothing stores, his Celestial Fortune Clothing could potentially reach saturation.

After all, everyone's demand for clothes is fixed; clothes don't wear out easily, and it's practically impossible for someone to buy clothes every day.

So, Qin Yun thought two clothing stores should be enough. Even if they stayed open for a long time, it would be hard to saturate the market.

"A shoe store?" Qin Xuan was taken aback. The clothing store business was going well, and now Qin Yun wanted to open a shoe store?

"Yun, can this really make money?"

The clothing store succeeded, but she wasn't confident about a shoe store. After all, they were different types of businesses.

Confidently, Qin Yun said, "Sis, it will definitely make money. I'm like the God of Wealth himself; everything I do will succeed."

Thinking over the events of the past two months, Qin Xuan subconsciously nodded. It seemed her brother really was being favored by the God of Wealth.

"Alright, I'll start negotiating the shop space, begin renovations, and then contact shoe suppliers," Qin Xuan thought for a moment and said.

"What's the price range for the shoes we're focusing on?" she asked.

"Between two hundred and eight hundred," Qin Yun replied.

He had already considered these details beforehand.

Qin Xuan nodded, raised a few more questions, and they finally determined the general direction for the shoe store.

After a few more exchanges, Qin Xuan suddenly said, "Yun, once we switched all the clothes at Qiyun Clothing Store to high-priced items, business became really slow; barely anyone came in all morning."

...

At this moment in Qiyun Clothing Store, a few staff members were trembling, none daring to speak.

Sun Yadong sat on a stool, his face looking so gloomy it could drip water.

Yesterday, he finally made up his mind to sell only high-priced clothes in the store. He brought in a batch of goods from outside and replaced all the cheaper clothes, hoping the daily revenue would multiply several times!

But ever since the overhaul, not a single piece has been sold.

In addition, there were even some unpleasant rumors circulating around.

"This Qiyun Clothing Store has gone crazy wanting money."

"With clothes this expensive, I might as well go to those branded stores; at least they're not these no-name brands."

"I heard the owner of Qiyun Clothing Store is the landlord; this store belongs to him. He saw how well Celestial Fortune Clothing was doing and forcefully took back the location."

"Over a thousand for a piece, my monthly salary is only four thousand, I can't afford those clothes."

Many rumors were spreading, and some people dared to discuss them near Sun Yadong, making him extremely irritated.

"What on earth is going on? Which part went wrong?" Sun Yadong's face kept changing.

What was once a certainty underwent a complete change within just one day.

The purchase cost of this batch of goods was seven hundred thousand. He had used all his savings, and the supermarket's monthly balance was gone, plus he borrowed three hundred thousand.

If the clothes didn't sell and funds couldn't be recovered, he couldn't imagine the consequences.

Beside him, Sun Jianqiang didn't dare say much.

At ten o'clock, the college entrance exam results came out. He scored 461, just a few points above the second-tier score line, which meant he probably couldn't get into a second-tier university given the competition. If he was willing to spend money, he could get into a decent third-tier one.

If unwilling to spend, he could go to a vocational college.

This greatly disappointed Sun Yadong, who had high hopes for Sun Jianqiang. He had been lucky and worked hard for so many years to have a small supermarket and four stores, but lacking education had always been his shortcoming.

He especially hoped his son could get into a first-tier college, so he could hold his head up high.

At this moment, Sun Jianqiang was also perplexed, "Business was going well before, why is it suddenly going downhill? Is God playing tricks on me?"

He didn't dare speak, as all these high-priced clothes in the store were his idea.

"Boss Sun."

Just then, a voice suddenly spoke, and Qin Yun and Qin Xuan entered the store.

"How's business today?" Qin Yun asked with a smile.

Seeing Qin Yun's smiling face, Sun Yadong found it increasingly difficult to bear, especially when compared to the continued success of Celestial Fortune Clothing.

"With so many high-priced clothes, Boss Sun, you're really bold," Qin Yun remarked.

Sun Yadong didn't respond to Qin Yun at this moment. Their interactions had always been superficial, but the reality was both knew they had already fallen out.

After deliberately expressing a few sighs, Qin Yun didn't say much more and turned to leave.

"Qin Yun," just then, Sun Jianqiang looked at him.

"What's up?" Qin Yun turned his head towards him.

Sun Jianqiang hesitated slightly, then couldn't help but ask, "How did you score on the college entrance exam?"

In class, Qin Yun's scores were a little better than his, but not by much. He even scored higher than Qin Yun once.

"581 points," Qin Yun smiled and said.

After saying this, he left directly.

At this moment, Sun Jianqiang was completely stunned, his eyes full of disbelief.

"581 points? How is that possible? The cutoff for the first-tier is only 505 points; Qin Yun exceeded it by 76 points?"

He actually scored 120 points less than Qin Yun.

"Why not possible?"

Just then, Sun Yadong stood up and angrily said, "Qin Yun scored so high, he can choose any good university he wants. What university can you choose? This September, you're going to repeat a year for me!"

"Ah, Dad, I don't want to repeat," Sun Jianqiang was stunned, quickly saying.
