"Uncle, Auntie, please have a seat, I'll go call my parents." Qin Yun smiled and shouted into the house a few times.
Soon, Qin Guodong and Zhao Mei came over.
"Guoyun is here, huh."
Qin Guodong smiled and then looked at the little boy beside them, saying with a smile, "Qiangqiang has grown quite a bit taller."
After saying that, he looked at Qin Yun and said, "Yun, go get some candies."
Qin Yun nodded and went into the house.
Qin Guoyun had a couple of exchanges with Qin Guodong, seemingly wanting to speak several times but stopping short.
"Guoyun, is there something on your mind? We are brothers, so just say what you need to say." Qin Guodong noticed and said with a smile.
In the old days, families were mostly together, and the relationships were good. Unlike now, where families are in different places, and over time, the ties weaken.
"Brother Guodong, it's like this, I wanted to ask if the Celestial Fortune Clothing Factory is hiring, if Liangliang's wife Xiaoqing could join."
After holding back for some time, Qin Guoyun finally spoke out.
Beside him, Tang Fang also looked eagerly at Qin Guodong, waiting for an answer.
Qin Yun came out with candies and handed some to the child, Qiangqiang.
He glanced at Qin Guoyun, knowing that their family went to Qin Guoyun's place to borrow twenty thousand yuan before but didn't get it.
He didn't have any hard feelings about it, not holding any grudges for not getting the loan.
Qin Guoyun's family was also living under strain, and their money was barely enough.
Upon hearing Qin Guoyun's request, Qin Guodong looked at Qin Yun. Seeing him nod slightly, he smiled and said, "Of course, now the factory is expanding, and I will speak with Xiaoxuan about it later."
Seeing that Qin Guodong agreed right away, Qin Guoyun and Tang Fang were instantly overjoyed.
Qin Guoyun was moved; with a hint of guilt on his face, he couldn't help but say, "Brother Guodong, about the matter of borrowing money before..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Guodong waved his hand dismissively, saying, "That's all in the past. Every family has difficulties at times. There's no need for us brothers to dwell on it."
He understood Qin Guoyun's situation, and he hadn't blamed him for not lending the money.
After all, besides borrowing money, the Qin Guoyun family had helped them a lot in the past; sometimes, when there was too much work in the fields, they would come to help, working hard all day in exchange for just a meal.
After staying for a good while, when Qin Guoyun and the others left, Qin Guodong sighed, "Guoyun has always been thin-skinned, seems like things aren't going well at home."
People with thin skin always fear asking for favors.
Beside him, Zhao Mei said, "These days, many people in the village called me, hoping their family members could work at Celestial Fortune Clothing, but I've refused them all."
Hearing their parents' conversations, Qin Yun didn't say much.
In fact, for him, recruiting workers for the clothing factory could very well be done in the Qin Family Village. After all, why not recruit wherever it's possible?
The older generation was mostly skilled in sewing; as far as Qin Yun knew, many families had their own sewing machines.
However, having too many acquaintances doesn't bode well for the management of the clothing factory.
Since Celestial Fortune Clothing was newly founded and in rapid expansion, hiring too many acquaintances at this stage could easily lead to issues.
Thus, even if they were to hire, it should be when Qin Yun's business truly grows strong.
Up to now, only a few relatives had joined the clothing factory, all with very good relations and impeccable character.
Once he becomes prosperous, there would be plenty of opportunities to help the Qin Family Village, but the timing isn't right now.
Helping is fine, but aiding to the point of creating animosity becomes a different story.
...
As time passed, Qin Yun stayed at home for three days before preparing to return to Jinling.
This visit was mainly to deal with some clothing factory matters, and once handled, there wasn't much left to do at home, whereas in Jinling, with three new stores opening, there were still many things to be done.
Although they've operated in Jinling for just over a month, their business there had already surpassed that in Qingwu County!
Furthermore, there was still room for further expansion! It's an immensely vast market.
During this time, Qin Yun sent a message to Xiao Lan. Xiao Lan stayed in Jinling for two days, then returned with her parents and is now back home, so they could only meet after National Day.
As he prepared to leave, Qin Yun's mother, Zhao Mei, approached him to discuss something.
"My cousin Zhao Dongxue?"
Qin Yun looked at Zhao Mei with surprise.
Zhao Dongxue was his second uncle's daughter, a few months younger than him, also eighteen years old.
In truth, if you really counted, over these ten-plus years, they had only met about ten times.
"Yes, Xue is currently working in Jinling, and your second uncle wants you to look after her a bit," Zhao Mei said.
Although Qin Yun wasn't very attached to his uncles, Zhao Mei still held strong feelings, as they were her biological siblings, and she often called home.
And her relationship with her second brother was a bit better, so she had learned a bit about the changes happening with the Qin Family.
After knowing that Qin Yun was attending university in Jinling and had opened a clothing store there, they thought of letting Zhao Dongxue work with Qin Yun.
"Yun, if it's inconvenient, just forget it," Zhao Mei looked at her son and said.
Actually, Zhao Dongxue wasn't an obedient girl. Every New Year, when Qin Yun went with his mother to visit his uncle's house, he naturally got to know this cousin of his.
Zhao Dongxue didn't like studying. After junior high, she refused to go to high school despite her parents' insistence, to the point where she ran away to work on her own, and she might not even come home during the New Year, leaving her parents worried sick, practically a problem child.
Just in the past two years, when Qin Yun visited his uncle's place to pay respects during New Year, Zhao Dongxue wasn't even at home.
Zhao Mei was aware of Zhao Dongxue's situation, so when she heard what her second brother said, she hadn't agreed immediately. Now, with Qin Yun heading back to Jinling, she brought it up.
She worried that Zhao Dongxue might cause trouble for Qin Yun.
If her son wasn't agreeable, she would turn it down.
After a brief moment of thinking, Qin Yun said, "Mom, it's fine, let the cousin come over."
After all, she's family, so helping out a bit wasn't a problem. Of course, if Zhao Dongxue caused trouble, he wouldn't condone it.
"That's good. I'll call your second uncle later," Zhao Mei said, nodding as she saw Qin Yun agree.
Qin Yun looked over at another side, where Qin Guoliang and Zhang Pandi were advising Qin Xiaotao to work diligently in Jinling. Qin Xiaotao nodded earnestly.
Today, as Qin Yun left, so did Qin Xiaotao.
"Dad, Mom, Sister, I'm leaving."
Qin Yun smiled, looking at his parents and his elder sister Qin Xuan.
Under everyone's gaze, the two of them drove away in a Volkswagen, finally heading towards Jinling.
