Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaotao nodded and looked at Qin Yun, saying, "Yun, thank you."

Qin Yun smiled and said, "No need to thank me; we're brothers. Xiaotao, this place is quite spacious, so you can practice driving here first."

He pointed to the large area around them.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Xiaotao excitedly said, "Yun, don't worry about me. Although I haven't driven for a few years, my skills are still sharp."

He got into the car and expertly performed maneuvers like reverse parking.

Seeing this, Qin Yun was a bit surprised. Qin Xiaotao may be reserved, but his driving skills are quite good.

This is a good thing, though.

"Alright then, Xiaotao, you keep practicing here, and I'll head back to school," Qin Yun said with a smile after a few exchanges.

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaotao quickly said, "Yun, you should drive to school."

"No," Qin Yun laughed, "If I drive there, how will you get the car back?"

Qin Xiaotao hadn't driven for years, and now that he just got the hang of a car, Qin Yun didn't dare let him hit the road directly.

Hearing this, Qin Xiaotao scratched his head, at a loss for words.

"Alright, I'm off," Qin Yun waved goodbye and called a taxi to go back to school.

After Qin Yun left, Qin Xiaotao was filled with excitement, practicing his driving incessantly.

Two hours later, Qin Xiaotao felt he had completely regained his skills. He tried driving on the road, made several rounds, and felt more confident.

After thinking for a moment, he drove to a destination, arriving shortly after.

About ten minutes later, a girl suddenly walked over from afar, waiting for the bus. But she immediately heard a voice.

"Shanshan."

From not too far away, a car window rolled down, and Qin Xiaotao stuck his head out.

He got out of the car, smiling brightly.

"Huh? Qin Xiaotao?" Hu Shanshan exclaimed in surprise as she looked at Qin Xiaotao and the Volkswagen Jetta. "You bought a car?"

She walked over, constantly observing the car, and it was evident that it was new.

Previously, Qin Xiaotao had approached her twice, but always by bus.

"The shop bought it; they're letting me use it for now," Qin Xiaotao scratched his head and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Hu Shanshan nodded, knowing that Qin Xiaotao and his cousin Qin Yun were running a clothing store.

But she hadn't paid much attention, as she didn't know much about it.

These days, there are many clothing stores, and just a walk down any street brings you across many.

"Are you off work? How about I drive you home?" Qin Xiaotao mustered his courage to say, looking at the girl in front of him.

Upon hearing this, Hu Shanshan smiled and nodded, "Sure."

Seeing Hu Shanshan didn't refuse, Qin Xiaotao was instantly thrilled.

He quickly opened the car door for Hu Shanshan to sit in the passenger seat.

Observing Qin Xiaotao's demeanor, Hu Shanshan pursed her lips, knowing he liked her, as she had realized during their university days.

Qin Xiaotao wasn't very noticeable in class back then, but as a girl, when you know someone likes you, there's always a bit of pride. At that time, her relationship with Qin Xiaotao was alright; they could be considered friends.

However, they lost touch after graduating from university, and she was quite surprised to run into him at the wholesale market recently.

Since then, Qin Xiaotao often started conversations with her. Because Celestial Fortune Clothing had a supply relationship with her store, she generally replied out of politeness.

As Qin Xiaotao got into the car, Hu Shanshan curiously asked, "Qin Xiaotao, how's the business at your clothing store? You bought a car, so business must be good, right?"

Previously, when Qin Xiaotao chatted with her, he mostly talked about past events. Now she took the initiative to inquire about the clothing store.

"It's alright," Qin Xiaotao replied with a smile, thinking for a moment, "Not far from here, our Celestial Fortune Store just opened a new branch. How about I take you to see it?"

After speaking, his heart couldn't help but race; this was the first time he had ever invited Hu Shanshan to go somewhere. Previously, they would meet and chat for a bit and then run out of things to say.

After pondering for a moment, Hu Shanshan, realizing she had nothing to do after work and was a bit curious about Celestial Fortune Clothing, said, "Let's go take a look then."

Hearing this, Qin Xiaotao was suddenly excited.

He turned the car around and headed towards the location.

They quickly arrived at the clothing store.

The store manager, Zhang Yiyi, saw Qin Xiaotao and immediately approached with a smile, saying, "Director Qin."

Qin Xiaotao was in charge of their store's clothing wholesale and other matters. In the eyes of the staff, except for Qin Yun and Zhao Tianqiang, Qin Xiaotao was essentially the third in command.

Moreover, Zhang Yiyi knew that Qin Xiaotao was the cousin of their boss, Qin Yun, so she treated him with extra courtesy.

With business booming at Celestial Fortune Clothing, Zhang Yiyi was satisfied with her six-thousand-yuan salary as the store manager.

Furthermore, it was heard that on October 1st, Boss Qin Yun would open three more branches, one of which would be over two hundred square meters. Whoever performed better between her and the forty-square-meter store manager, Hu Qian, might become the manager of the large store, with a salary increase of two thousand yuan.

"Who's this?" Seeing Hu Shanshan beside Qin Xiaotao, Zhang Yiyi smiled warmly and asked.

"This is my friend, Hu Shanshan," Qin Xiaotao said with a smile. "Manager Zhang, don't mind us; just continue with your work. We're just here to browse."

Hearing Qin Xiaotao's words, Zhang Yiyi nodded with a pleasant smile.

Standing beside Qin Xiaotao, Hu Shanshan observed the Celestial Fortune Clothing store.

In fact, the store in front of her was only forty square meters, easily taking it all in at a glance. Even so, there were six customers browsing inside, and others passing by would occasionally enter to have a look.

With her experience, Hu Shanshan could certainly tell that this Celestial Fortune Clothing store was bustling with business.

"Shanshan, do you like any of the clothes?" Qin Xiaotao asked Hu Shanshan.

In response, Hu Shanshan laughed, "I already have so many clothes that I don't have room for more; I dare not buy more."

Seeing her say this, Qin Xiaotao scratched his head and chuckled, "It's normal for girls to buy lots of clothes."

To this, Hu Shanshan simply laughed and said nothing.

Qin Xiaotao didn't know how to continue the conversation, so he just followed her around, looking left and right.

Wherever Hu Shanshan went, he followed.

After staying in the store for a bit, customers came and went, and there was never an idle moment, which made Hu Shanshan somewhat astonished.

Where she worked, although there were lots of people, few entered the store, and most of the time, it was quite empty.

After leaving the clothing store, Hu Shanshan curiously asked, "Qin Xiaotao, you ordered a lot of hangers before, and you have two other stores. How's the business at those two stores?"

The hangers and other supplies for Celestial Fortune Clothing were purchased through her store, so she knew a bit about the situation, as she coordinated for a dedicated person to deliver them.

"The business at those two stores is similar," Qin Xiaotao replied with a smile.

"Similar?" Upon hearing this, Hu Shanshan was amazed.

This is just a small store, and Hu Shanshan knew that Qin Yun also had a large clothing store covering over two hundred square meters.

Judging from the current situation, how much money could these three stores earn?

No wonder Celestial Fortune Clothing was able to buy a car so quickly.

After pondering for a moment, Hu Shanshan asked, "How much do you pay your employees at the clothing store?"

When asked this, Qin Xiaotao paused for a moment and said, "For regular employees, the base salary is 3,000, with a bonus of 1,500, full attendance bonus of 500, and if they make no mistakes on the job, they can typically earn around 5,000 yuan."

"5,000 yuan?" Hu Shanshan was surprised that Celestial Fortune Clothing's salary was this high.

Her current salary was only around 4,000 yuan.

For a moment, numerous thoughts crossed Hu Shanshan's mind.

Seeing Hu Shanshan not speaking, Qin Xiaotao thought he had said something wrong and remained silent, standing dumbly beside her.

After a long pause, Hu Shanshan suddenly asked, "Qin Xiaotao, is your clothing store hiring? Is the recruitment process strict?"
