I Have a Wealth Gathering Array-Chapter 218: Partners

"Cold Dew must be quite troubled now, right?" Qin Yun thought to himself.

He was in a very good mood; Cold Dew wanted him to go bankrupt, so he would let Cold Dew go bankrupt.

By the time that day truly came, Celestial Fortune would probably have become quite a brand.

Six Celestial Fortune Clothing stores in Rongyang City had opened, and Qin Yun returned to Jinling.

It was not yet the fifteenth, Jiangyuan University hadn’t started yet, and Qin Yun called Yu Leyao.

In February, the temperature was still very low. When Qin Yun arrived at a place, Yu Leyao was already waiting.

She wore a white down jacket, with a black scarf around her neck, standing out in the crowd and noticeable at a glance.

"Qin Yun."

Seeing Qin Yun approaching, Yu Leyao instantly ran over with a face full of happiness.

"When did you come back?"

"The eighth." Qin Yun smiled.

The two walked along the street to a restaurant.

"What about the soup base you developed? Let me taste it." Qin Yun asked after arriving.

Yu Leyao had mentioned this when they previously contacted each other.

Upon hearing this, Yu Leyao immediately said, "Qin Yun, you’re a very unqualified taste tester, you haven’t given me any suggestions in a long time."

Qin Yun smiled and said, "Work has been quite busy."

He almost forgot about being a taste tester.

"Then you have to help me taste everything now." Yu Leyao was obviously prepared and went to the kitchen of the restaurant, then brought out five small pots, three spicy ones, and two clear broth ones.

"Is this hot pot base?" Qin Yun asked in surprise.

"Yep," Yu Leyao said with a grin. "I made this earlier. It’s a bit different from the hot pot bases available in the market. Try dipping some food and see how they taste?"

"Impressive."

Qin Yun gave Yu Leyao a thumbs up, then dipped some vegetables and meat and began to taste them carefully.

He first tasted a clear broth hot pot base.

After tasting, he rinsed his mouth with clear water and after two minutes, tasted the next base.

"Not bad!"

Having tasted the flavors of all five bases, Qin Yun nodded and said, "Tastes better than what I usually have at hot pot restaurants."

Hot pot is primarily about the base, and Yu Leyao obviously had a knack for it, adding some of her own ideas.

Seeing Qin Yun nod, Yu Leyao was delighted and said, "I’ll take you to a place."

"Where to?"

"You’ll know when we get there."

Soon, they arrived at a place, a bustling street, and a place that was obviously under renovation.

"A hot pot restaurant?"

Qin Yun asked in amazement, "Class president, are you planning to open a hot pot restaurant?"

Yu Leyao had previously opened a spicy hot pot shop, and now, halfway through the semester, she planned to change industries again.

"Yes," Yu Leyao nodded with a smile.

She led Qin Yun inside.

The hot pot restaurant appeared to be newly renovated, with an area of about three hundred square meters, quite spacious inside, tables and chairs not yet installed.

"Have you paid the rent?" Qin Yun asked after looking around.

Given the location and area, the rent wasn’t cheap, likely over fifty thousand yuan per month.

Yu Leyao had sought investors everywhere when she opened the spicy hot pot shop, clearly not having much money herself.

However, Yu Leyao’s grandmother is a senior professor at Jinling University, so they shouldn’t lack money. It seemed Yu Leyao didn’t ask her for money. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"The rent is partly paid, still some left," Yu Leyao said.

"Leyao!"

Just then, several voices rang out, and a few figures approached from not far away, including two boys and four girls.

"Leyao, who is this?"

Among the six who walked over, one of the girls asked with a playful smile upon seeing Qin Yun.

"Sister Lin Yu, this is Qin Yun, my college classmate," Yu Leyao introduced.

"Hello, Qin Yun."

Everyone there nodded and smiled. As Qin Yun looked at them, one of the boys stepped forward and introduced himself, "My name is Wei Xin, and this is my girlfriend Zhou Xiaoqian. This is Wang Yuchen, and these are Li Dandan and Lin Yu, and this is Senior Sister Hu Congrong."

Wei Xin had his hair neatly combed, wore a suit, looking slightly handsome. However, he wasn’t very tall, about 1.7 meters.

After introductions, the petite girl named Li Dandan asked curiously, "Qin Yun, are you and Leyao from Jiangyuan University? I’m from your neighboring school, Jinling Normal University."

Of everyone present, Qin Yun was tall and handsome, entirely her ideal type, so she actively started a conversation with him.

Afterwards, she pointed to Wei Xin and others, saying, "Wei Xin, Zhou Xiaoqian, and Senior Sister Hu Congrong are from Jinling University, while Wang Yuchen and Lin Yu are from Nandong University."

"Jinling University, Nandong University..."

Qin Yun was surprised as he looked at the people in front of him. Except for Li Dandan, the other five were all top students from the 985 universities, every one of them not to be underestimated.

"Hello, everyone," Qin Yun smiled.

"Qin Yun, this hot pot restaurant is something Senior Sister Hu Congrong and I are preparing to open together," Yu Leyao said briefly when she saw the others arrive.

To her, making money from the hot pot restaurant wasn’t her biggest interest; she enjoyed researching food and seasonings, and after creating them, she wanted to try them in the market to see how effective they were.

This was purely her hobby, so she did it all by herself and didn’t want to ask her family for money directly, choosing instead to pull in investments.

Whenever she opened a store, she was only responsible for the seasonings, while the management and other aspects were handled by professionals.

"Senior Sister Hu, how’s the funding situation for the store now?" After speaking with Qin Yun, Yu Leyao asked again.

Hu Congrong spoke, "We need fifty-five thousand for rent, and there’s still a ten-thousand shortfall now."

Being the oldest among them, she was obviously more serious and said, "But we plan to solve this within a week."

For these university students, even if they get into Jinling University, having no money means having no money.

To get the hot pot restaurant going, they obviously needed to overcome various difficulties, and the first was the funding issue.

As Qin Yun listened to their conversation, he glanced at Yu Leyao. Did Yu Leyao want him to invest in the hot pot restaurant?

As they were talking, the girl named Li Dandan looked around, smiling and saying, "Xiaoqian, your boyfriend Wei Xin, and Senior Sister Hu are all amazing, starting a hot pot restaurant together."

Among the four present, Yu Leyao, Hu Congrong, Wei Xin, and Wang Yuchen, Lin Yu were partners, while Wei Xin’s girlfriend Zhou Xiaoqian and Li Dandan were not.

Li Dandan and Zhou Xiaoqian were good friends and knew about this place, so they wanted to come and have a look.

"This is just minor stuff."

Hearing Li Dandan’s words, Wei Xin shook his head and said with a smile, "For the best entrepreneurship at Jinling University, that would still be Senior Feng Tianjun."
