I Have a Wealth Gathering Array-Chapter 264: Qin Yun, the "Pretend" Rich Second Generation

Chapter 264: Chapter 264: Qin Yun, the "Pretend" Rich Second Generation

"What’s wrong?"

Seeing Zhou Zijun’s surprised expression, Zhao Kanghao immediately asked in confusion.

"That’s not right, Qin Yun’s family background is fairly ordinary. He even did part-time work for more than a year while he was in high school," Zhou Zijun said.

He had been classmates with Qin Yun for two years in high school, so he knew Qin Yun’s situation well.

At that time, when Qin Yun was doing part-time jobs, people in the class were discussing whether he came from a poor family.

Of course, now they are also doing part-time jobs, and there’s nothing embarrassing about it. But hearing people say that Qin Yun is a rich second generation caught him by surprise.

Is the Qin Yun they know the same as the one he knows?

"What? Qin Yun did part-time work for more than a year in high school?"

Upon hearing Zhou Zijun’s words, Zhao Kanghao, Li Hanyu, Cheng Daxiong, Zhou Pang, Jiang Yi, Lin Mengmeng, and others were all taken aback.

They thought that when Qin Yun invested more than four hundred thousand in a hotpot restaurant, his family must have been very wealthy.

Now it seems like the situation might not be so?

Doing part-time work in high school isn’t shameful, but it indicates that Qin Yun’s family conditions were probably just average.

But how did Qin Yun get that more than four hundred thousand?

Thinking about this, several of them recalled Qin Yun’s withdrawal from the Cyan Mist Hot Pot Restaurant.

The restaurant was doing well with good business, yet suddenly Qin Yun withdrew his investment, was he in urgent need of that money?

"Could it be that Qin Yun got this money through a loan?" Cheng Daxiong suddenly thought.

Previously, when he didn’t have enough money to run a bubble tea shop, he took a loan through a mobile app.

There are all kinds of loan apps, credit cards, etc., nowadays. If you borrow enough, you could easily get loans of hundreds of thousands.

Because of a loan, when the repayment day comes and Qin Yun didn’t have the money to pay back, did he withdraw from the hotpot restaurant to repay it? Or was there another place where money was needed to fill the gap, leaving Qin Yun with no choice but to withdraw from the hotpot restaurant?

As these thoughts swirled in his mind, Cheng Daxiong felt more certain.

He couldn’t help but think that Qin Yun wasn’t all that, and wasn’t impressive at all.

Not only did Cheng Daxiong think this way, but it seemed others had the same idea.

As for Qin Yun, they didn’t really know. Zhao Kanghao and a few others didn’t think it was appropriate to ask Qin Yun about it.

After eating at a barbecue place, they went back to the dorm, while Qin Yun left halfway.

In the girls’ dorm, Zhao Qing couldn’t help but say, "I didn’t expect that I was wrong before. Qin Yun isn’t some rich second generation."

"Qin Yun actually said before that he’s not," Zhang Xiaoyue said.

Lin Mengmeng, watching the girls in the dorm talk about Qin Yun, pouted and said, "Even if he isn’t, being able to raise over four hundred thousand to invest in a hotpot restaurant takes some capability."

She unconditionally sided with Qin Yun.

Jiang Yi shook her head and said, "Who knows how he managed to get that money."

If the family is well-off, taking out over four hundred thousand to invest in a hotpot restaurant and renting a house and buying a car would seem like Qin Yun’s conditions are too good.

But who’d have thought it’s all just on the surface.

Just like those people driving luxury cars, only for it to turn out they were rented and they’re actually deeply in debt, appearing fine on the outside.

She no longer had any feelings; she hadn’t misjudged before. The Qin Yun she knew was still the same ordinary Qin Yun, without anything particularly special.

At this point, the aura around him had completely disappeared.

Zhou Xiaoke looked at a few people in discussion, wanting to say something but then stopping.

...

Time kept passing, getting closer to May 10th.

Within the Celestial Fortune Clothing store, Qin Yun and Zhao Tianqiang were discussing how Qin Yun could make a bigger impact as he steps forward this time.

"President Qin, I think we could host an on-campus fashion design competition to create a buzz in the school," Zhao Tianqiang suggested after pondering for a while.

It was quite normal for Celestial Fortune, being a clothing company, to host such a competition.

"We could offer certain rewards, target the student crowd, have them design clothes, then rank them — first place several, second place several, third place, honorable mention, etc. Besides bonuses, we could even produce their clothing designs."

Listening to Zhao Tianqiang’s proposal, Qin Yun nodded.

Stepping forward was primarily for better development of Celestial Fortune, and having a good way to expand our reputation should certainly be adopted.

Jinling is home to three university towns and has the most colleges in Su Province. If this fashion design contest is well-executed, it could certainly make the name of Celestial Fortune known to a lot of people!

"Manager Zhao, discuss this plan with the marketing department in detail," Qin Yun said.

The idea was good and entirely feasible.

While discussing, suddenly Zhao Tianqiang glanced at his phone, his expression changed slightly.

"President Qin, someone from Cold Dew wants to meet with you alone," Zhao Tianqiang said.

"Who is it?" Qin Yun asked upon hearing Zhao Tianqiang.

"Zuo Yang, Zuo Han’s elder brother, the most likely successor of Cold Dew Clothing in the future."

"Zuo Yang?"

Qin Yun thought for a moment. With Celestial Fortune continuing to expand, Cold Dew Market within Su Province was being continually squeezed! At this point, most of its stores had Celestial Fortune next door.

Given Celestial Fortune’s thriving business, Cold Dew’s situation was predictable.

Thinking it over, Qin Yun said, "I’ll go meet Zuo Yang. Manager Zhao, you focus on preparing for Celestial Fortune’s recruitment, no need to tag along."

After the instructions, Qin Yun drove off from the clothing store in a million yuan BMW 7 Series.

You need to drive a suitable car when meeting someone. Normally he drives a thirty-thousand-yuan car, but meeting Zuo Yang now, he definitely couldn’t drive that one.

Because at this moment, he was representing Celestial Fortune’s image.

... 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

At Flame Wood Tavern, Zuo Yang wore a smile, and addressing Qin Yun said, "Qin Yun, I’ve wanted to meet you for a while but never had the opportunity until now!"

His face was full of a warm smile.

Zuo Yang’s appearance was very similar to Zuo Han, but he looked slightly older, and the aura around him was more steady and mature, the smile on his face making people feel like they were bathing in a spring breeze. It must be said; he was truly a charismatic young man.

"Zuo Yang?"

Seeing the smiling young man, Qin Yun directly sat down, calmly asking, "What’s your purpose in meeting me?"

When it came to people from Cold Dew, he couldn’t be bothered to be polite.

"Haha, you’re straightforward, Qin Yun."

Zuo Yang smiled, taking a sip of tea in front of him, "Both Cold Dew and Celestial Fortune are in the clothing business. Continuing to compete like this isn’t the answer. I’m here primarily to seek reconciliation; mutual cooperation and benefit are best for development."

His smile was full of sincerity.

In reality, Zuo Yang had no other choice.

Within the current Su Province market, Celestial Fortune was continuously growing, whereas Cold Dew Market was constantly being compressed. April’s revenue showed another significant drop, with almost no profit left.

Faced with Celestial Fortune’s aggressive pressure, they had no proper response.

Previously, when Sun Qian relayed information back, there was fury among Cold Dew’s upper management, but ultimately, they were helpless.

Reaching this point, losing face was better than having all Cold Dew’s stores in Su Province squeezed out of existence.
