I Have a Wealth Gathering Array-Chapter 363: Xiao Lan

Qin Yun wasn’t planning to handle the endorsement matter himself, so he handed it over to Zhao Tianqiang.

In fact, for now, Celestial Fortune only occupies one province, so hiring top-tier celebrities as spokespeople isn’t feasible.

The higher the celebrity status, the higher the endorsement fee.

The purpose of hiring a spokesperson is to expand Celestial Fortune’s reputation, letting everyone know about the brand, and then increase sales.

But due to market limitations, even if the name of Celestial Fortune becomes well-known throughout the country, people from other provinces can’t see the stores, so how could they buy the clothes?

Previously, Qin Yun had tried to open online sales, but the results were mediocre, not very effective.

Much like the hot pot base ingredients, the Wealth Gathering Array’s effect is stronger on physical stores; online impact is still much weaker.

...

The weather in September changes quickly.

Yesterday it was hot, but today the sky turned cloudy. Without the sun, it felt noticeably less sweltering.

"Qin Yun, the sales of hot pot base ingredients are gradually picking up, and I’ve developed a few new types," Yu Leyao said with a smile, walking on the street.

By the end of August, Celestial Fortune’s hot pot base ingredients had sold, yielding some profit. But to Qin Yun, this profit wasn’t much.

However, for the whole hot pot factory, it was quite good.

Qin Yun nodded and said with a smile, "I’ve been thinking of selling the hot pot base ingredients in the United States."

"The United States?" Yu Leyao looked a bit surprised.

Qin Yun took a deep breath and said, "I’m also planning to put the beverage business over there."

After careful thought, it still seemed better to earn money abroad; domestically, having clothing was enough. There was no need to squeeze the survival space of other brands.

By that time, Qin Yun could completely set up the Wealth Gathering Array in the beverage factory and hot pot factory he opened.

Actually, he hadn’t done it domestically.

Placing the Wealth Gathering Array in clothing stores or beverage factories was the same; he certainly paid more attention to the clothing stores rather than turning his attention to other industries.

"It’s just a temporary idea. I don’t know when I’ll implement it yet," Qin Yun added with a smile.

He was heavily in debt right now, without enough money to expand into other businesses.

First, he needed to solve the money issue; when he had money, all his ideas could be realized one by one.

"Excuse me, excuse me, make way!"

Suddenly, a panicked voice came, and a teenage girl on a bicycle seemed a bit unsteady, heading right towards them.

"Watch out."

Seeing this, Qin Yun’s expression changed slightly, and he quickly pulled Yu Leyao away.

"I’m sorry."

The girl managed to stop just in time and hurriedly apologized.

Qin Yun frowned slightly and was about to say something when he suddenly froze.

This scene seemed somewhat familiar. He had experienced it once a year ago; now he was holding Yu Leyao’s hand, while a year ago, he was holding another girl’s hand.

"Xiao Lan."

A surge of complex emotions arose in Qin Yun’s heart. Almost instinctively, his gaze turned to a figure not far away.

There, a girl stood gracefully, wearing a white t-shirt, her complexion fair, hair in a ponytail, looking over at him, seeing him holding Yu Leyao’s hand.

Seeing Qin Yun noticing her too, Xiao Lan’s expression remained calm. She slowly walked over with a slight smile, saying, "Qin Yun, what a coincidence."

"What a coincidence." Looking at the familiar girl in front of him, Qin Yun didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Beside him, Yu Leyao noticed Xiao Lan. She knew this high school classmate of Qin Yun’s was once thought by some to be his girlfriend.

"Hello, I’m Yu Leyao."

Looking at Xiao Lan, Yu Leyao introduced herself.

"Xiao Lan." Xiao Lan introduced herself and then looked at Qin Yun, softly saying, "Qin Yun, tomorrow I arranged to meet Xiaoya and Zhou Yang, and I’m inviting you too, for one last meal together before I leave."

"Leave?"

Qin Yun was taken aback, looking at Xiao Lan with puzzlement in his eyes.

"Yes, I’m transferring to another place to go to university; all the paperwork is done. I’m here to handle the school formalities these days."

Xiao Lan smiled and said, "Qin Yun, you have to come tomorrow."

She waved her hand and said, "Alright, the invitation has been delivered. I’ll be going now."

She turned and left.

Watching Xiao Lan’s departing figure, Qin Yun was filled with indescribable emotions.

At the time, he and Xiao Lan broke up because he didn’t want her to be caught in a difficult position; with Wen Yun around, Xiao Lan’s situation was tough.

They weren’t suited to be together at that time.

However, time changes many things. Now, Wen Yun was no longer significant to Qin Yun, but his relationship with Xiao Lan was also difficult to restore.

Time can change so much.

"Qin Yun."

Yu Leyao spoke softly.

With her intelligence, she clearly noticed a bit of Qin Yun’s state.

"Let’s go."

Qin Yun shook his head, saying no more.

...

"Xiao Lan, are you really leaving Jinling?"

In the restaurant, Xiao Lan, Qin Yun, Zhang Xiaoya, and Zhou Yang gathered, but everyone remained quiet. Even the talkative Zhou Yang spoke much less than usual.

During the meal, Zhang Xiaoya clutched Xiao Lan’s arm, unable to contain herself, "Once you leave, we won’t be able to meet whenever we want. I’ll really miss you." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"It’s okay. During National Day, winter, and summer holidays, we can find opportunities to meet," Xiao Lan said with a smile.

Zhou Yang was silent for a moment, looking at Qin Yun, pondering whether to speak but ultimately saying nothing.

To him, Qin Yun and Xiao Lan seemed destined to be a couple, but they didn’t end up together.

After dinner, they chatted for quite a while.

"Xiaoya, let’s head out first," Zhou Yang said to Zhang Xiaoya.

Zhang Xiaoya understood his meaning, nodded, and said, "Xiao Lan, you must tell me when you’re leaving; I’ll come to see you off."

"Got it," Xiao Lan replied with a smile.

With the two of them departing, only Qin Yun and Xiao Lan remained.

"Qin Yun, take a walk with me," Xiao Lan said without any pretension, smiling.

"Okay." Qin Yun nodded.

The two walked slowly along the street, not speaking for a long time.

Inside, Qin Yun felt a mix of melancholy and reluctance.

After a moment, Qin Yun finally asked, "Xiao Lan, which school are you going to?"

"To Jing City," Xiao Lan answered softly.

A year had passed, and there seemed to be a hint of distance between them. Qin Yun had many things on his mind but wasn’t sure what to say.

"Do you...really have to leave?" After a few seconds, Qin Yun asked again.

"Yeah, all the procedures are complete, so what’s the point of staying?" Xiao Lan chuckled.

Hearing her say that, Qin Yun didn’t know what else to say.
