Chapter 24 - Chapter 24: June 1st

After dismantling the Wealth Gathering Array, Qin Yun didn't say anything else.

He took one last look at the store, then turned around and left directly.

Watching Qin Yun's seemingly defeated figure leaving, Sun Jianqiang felt very pleased inside.

"Haha, Qin Yun, you may appear calm on the outside, but you must be furious inside."

Being forced out of such a profitable store, Qin Yun must be very angry.

"Get angry, get angry. There are only a few days left until the college entrance exam. It would be even better if it affected his exams," he thought joyfully.

...

In the new store, Zhao Mei and others were busy hanging up clothes one by one.

Finally, the sign for Celestial Fortune Clothing Store was reinstalled.

By the time everything was set up, it was already late at night.

"Boss."

Zhang Qing and the others looked at Qin Yun, their faces clearly showing a hint of concern.

For more than half a month, they had been very busy in the store, but everyone was happy.

Because Qin Yun had set their salary standards: a basic salary of 3000, attendance bonus of 500, and performance bonus of 1500.

Such high salaries were impossible for them to refuse.

After all, in Qingwu County, the usual salary for clothing store employees was around 3000, with many earning even less.

Previously, Zhang Qing earned less than 3000.

In reality, with the Wealth Gathering Array in place, the store was busy from opening to closing, with no time for slacking off unlike other clothing stores. So, Qin Yun set the salaries a bit higher.

Of course, they couldn't be much higher, as the booming business was all due to the primary Wealth Gathering Array. With it, hiring anyone wouldn't affect the store's prosperity.

"You guys can go home first, come to work tomorrow afternoon," Qin Yun said with a smile.

Soon, many of the employees left, leaving only Zhao Mei, Qin Xuan, and a few others in the store.

Seeing the worry on Zhao Mei's face, Qin Yun smiled and said, "Mom, there's no use thinking too much now. Let's see what happens tomorrow."

With a thought, the point of light in his hand began to expand rapidly.

Array patterns appeared, completely enveloping the new Celestial Fortune Clothing Store!

The primary Wealth Gathering Array was successfully set up.

...

In the rented room, Zhang Qing opened the door and immediately collapsed onto a chair.

"Back already?"

Sun Tingting came out of the room and, seeing Zhang Qing, asked, "Qing, what's wrong? Why do you look so exhausted?"

"It's all because of the clothing store," Zhang Qing replied angrily when asked by Sun Tingting. "That landlord is just unreasonable. Seeing our store doing well, he demanded more than twenty thousand in rent, forcing our boss to give up and rent another store."

Anyone who has opened a store knows that sometimes changing locations can cause business to plummet.

"The new store opens tomorrow. I wonder how the business will be," Zhang Qing said worriedly.

Hearing this, Sun Tingting laughed and said, "Qing, you never had such a sense of belonging at other clothing stores."

"It's not that I didn't feel a sense of belonging, it's that the boss didn't pay enough," Zhang Qing took a sip of soda and said comfortably.

"The boss said wages will be paid on the third, just two days to go. I wonder how much I'll get. I have so many clothes I want to buy."

For Zhang Qing, she didn't want to hear the boss talk about ideals; her ideal was not to work.

Give enough money, and naturally, she would feel a sense of belonging to the company.

Hearing this, Sun Tingting didn't comment, knowing that Zhang Qing's salary was a basic 3000, plus an attendance bonus of 500 and a performance bonus of 1500. However, she believed that the performance bonus was mostly nominal, with the actual amount largely at the boss's discretion, as it varied greatly in many stores.

Seeing Zhang Qing's eager expression, she didn't say anything discouraging.

...

Zhang Qing was worried about the impact on the store's business and her salary being reduced, while Zhao Mei, Qin Xuan, and others were genuinely concerned about the store's future.

They couldn't sleep at night, but the least worried was Qin Yun.

He fell asleep within a minute of going to bed, and in the morning, after breakfast, he casually said to Zhao Mei and then went straight to school, seemingly unconcerned about the store.

Zhao Mei and Qin Xuan arrived early in front of the newly opened Celestial Fortune Clothing Store, waiting for the seven o'clock opening.

"Xiaoxuan, do you think business can remain the same?" Zhao Mei couldn't help but ask.

After half a month of hard work, her smile had increased.

Every day's turnover was more than ten thousand, and she seemed to see hope for paying off the house mortgage and the borrowed money, wishing it would continue like this forever.

She now hoped to pay off all debts and the mortgage, so she would have no more worries.

But now the situation had changed.

"Mom, it definitely can. You have to believe in Yun," Qin Xuan said with a smile.

Although she said this, there was clearly a hint of worry in her eyes as well.

"By the way, mom, what did Yun say today?" Qin Xuan asked.

"Yun didn't say anything," Zhao Mei recalled her son, sighed, and said, "He went to school right after breakfast."

They were so anxious, yet Qin Yun acted as if nothing had happened, as if the store had nothing to do with him.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Zhao Mei and Qin Xuan looked towards a nearby new clothing store.

"Qiyun Clothing Store."

This was the original location of the Celestial Fortune Clothing Store, now with Sun Yadong and a few others arriving.

"That Sun Yadong is so despicable, I wish his business would fail!" Qin Xuan said through gritted teeth, her usual good temper disappearing.

As Sun Yadong, whom she cursed, was currently basking in joy.

He opened the doors of the Qiyun Clothing Store, and five girls in their twenties bustled about within as sales clerks.

The clothes hanging in the store and the entire decor were identical to the previous Celestial Fortune Clothing Store, with almost no changes.

"It's about to open. If business is as booming as before, how much can I earn?" Sun Yadong wore a look of anticipation.

Except for the name, which differed by one character, Qiyun Clothing Store was identical to Celestial Fortune Clothing Store.

Even though he wasn't very confident about maintaining the previous booming business, there was always a possibility, and Sun Yadong was still hopeful.

If this possibility materialized, he could earn over a million annually.

In fact, he hadn't finished processing his business license because the time was too short. But Qingwu County wasn't strict about these things. When people rented a shop, the daily rental started after signing the contract, and obtaining a business license would waste several days, so they could operate first and then apply.

He didn't want to wait any longer. Closing for a day could increase the chance of changes.

It was only eight thirty, but both clothing stores had opened, and there were already people on the street. Two people happened to walk by and suddenly stopped, looking at the Qiyun Clothing Store.
