"System, what’s going on here?"

Feeling bewildered for a moment, Qin Yun quickly asked.

Earlier, the effect of negative emotions was halved because he donated tens of millions and accumulated merit, but what’s happening now?

Can just one crescent fragment make all the aftereffects of using the Wealth Dispersal Array disappear?

"The host does not have sufficient permissions, unable to answer! The host can seek the answer later." The system played dumb again in response to Qin Yun’s inquiry.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yun was helpless. Although he didn’t know the exact reason, with the Seven Deadly Sins ending, he was nevertheless delighted.

He pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "System, if this crescent fragment can offset karma, would using the Wealth Dispersal Array again also offset the karma?"

If karma could always be offset, wouldn’t he be able to use the Wealth Dispersal Array without restriction, making him invincible?

This time the system provided an answer: "No, due to unknown changes, the host cannot use the Wealth Dispersal Array now."

"The Wealth Dispersal Array can’t be used?" Hearing this, Qin Yun was stunned.

The disappearance of the Seven Deadly Sins and the vanishing karma from using the Wealth Dispersal Array was good, but it also rendered the Wealth Dispersal Array unusable now.

Qin Yun stayed in Hang City and waited with a slight frown.

Soon, his phone rang.

After hanging up, Qin Yun silently thought, "Wu Qiulan’s family lives in the Forest Garden District?"

He had just called to investigate Wu Qiulan’s situation, as he definitely wanted to obtain this fragment.

The Seven Deadly Sins vanished suddenly, yet the Wealth Dispersal Array became unusable. If he gathers these fragments, could the Wealth Dispersal Array be activated again?

The greatest likelihood was that this fragment was in Wu Qiulan’s home. Regardless of whether Wu Qiulan sought it or not, he definitely had to check it out.

Afterward, Qin Yun took a car directly to the Forest Garden District. However, upon arriving and closely sensing, he felt no fluctuation from the Wealth Gathering Array Source.

"Nothing?" Qin Yun pondered silently.

The sensing range of the Wealth Gathering Array Source is vast, enough to cover the entire Forest Garden District.

Yet, he did not detect any other fragments in Wu Qiulan’s home.

After waiting silently for a while, Qin Yun had to give up.

"Never mind, even if I can’t use the Wealth Dispersal Array, I don’t have to worry about anything now, just let things develop normally!"

The appearance of the Wealth Dispersal Array was like activating a powerful cheat, causing giants like Yangyu Clothing, Lailuo Clothing, and others worth tens of billions to even over a hundred billion to decline rapidly. Such power was terrifying.

One could say, with the Wealth Dispersal Array, even Apple and those companies were no match for Celestial Fortune.

However, such a terrifying cheat vanished as quickly as it appeared.

Although it disappeared, its impact on Qin Yun wasn’t that significant.

...

Back in Jinling, in the evening, Qin Yun dined with Yu Leyao, his second sister Qin Lu, Qin Xiaotao, and his cousin Zhao Dongxue at a large restaurant.

"Qin Yun, what are you so happy about?" Yu Leyao curiously asked.

She could see Qin Yun was in an unusually good mood, as if a heavy burden had suddenly lifted, leaving him relaxed.

"It’s almost the New Year, of course, I’m happy."

Qin Yun smiled, not mentioning the Wealth Dispersal Array; with the disappearance of all the Seven Deadly Sins’ negative effects, his mood was naturally joyful.

"Leyao, how about visiting my hometown for the New Year?"

Looking at the girl in front of him, Qin Yun asked.

Upon hearing this, Yu Leyao’s cheeks turned a bit red, and she softly responded, "Sure."

"Then it’s settled." Qin Yun, who had good hearing, heard Yu Leyao and responded with a smile.

"Leyao, is Yun bullying you?"

Qin Yun and Yu Leyao were the first to arrive and were chatting when suddenly Qin Lu walked into the private room, saw Yu Leyao with her head lowered and face flushed, and couldn’t help teasing her.

Now that Qin Lu had been working at Celestial Fortune for a while, she had put a down payment on a car, a Chevrolet, and would take it out for a drive during her days off.

She really liked cars, though previously she never mentioned it. Once she saved enough money, she bought one.

"Second sister, don’t falsely accuse me." Hearing her, Qin Yun immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.

"By the way, second sister, I heard a male student frequently sends you flowers?"

Having graduated from university, Qin Lu’s mother, Zhao Mei, previously called Qin Yun, secretly asked him to keep an eye on whether Qin Lu was in a relationship.

Upon hearing this, Qin Lu felt helpless and said, "Someone is pursuing me, but I’ve turned them down."

She wasn’t really interested in dating at the moment.

Seemingly fearing that Qin Yun would inquire more about this, Qin Lu asked, "Yun, there’s just over a week until the company annual meeting, and you haven’t decided on some things, have you?"

Preparations for the annual meeting were ongoing, but several important decisions were yet to be finalized.

"Yes."

Qin Yun nodded, smiling, "We’ll discuss this during tomorrow’s company meeting."

As the New Year approached, everyone was concerned about the company annual meeting since it was also when year-end bonuses were distributed. This time, even regular employees would receive some year-end bonus, so everyone was looking forward to it.

...

In Jinling, at the Celestial Fortune Office Building, this time many high-level members of Celestial Fortune gathered for a meeting.

"President Qin, currently we have 7,393 employees at Celestial Fortune..." Zhao Tianqiang reported. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

In January, Celestial Fortune opened 15 more clothing stores, increasing the staff by hundreds once again!

As per management, they summarized Celestial Fortune’s status before the meeting.

After Zhao Tianqiang finished, Qin Xiaotao and others also reported the situation.

"Hmm."

Qin Yun nodded, said a few words, then looked at everyone below and said, "Next, what everyone is probably concerned about is the annual meeting."

"The performance and levels of each employee have already been evaluated."

Although it was an evaluation, in reality, most regular employees performed similarly. Only those who performed exceptionally stood out.

"For those employees, I previously mentioned we would give rewards, and now I’ll confirm the total reward amount."

Qin Yun said, "The total amount is one hundred million."

Upon hearing Qin Yun’s words, many present were shocked.

"One hundred million!"

"President Qin is actually giving out that much?"

For Celestial Fortune at present, this was undoubtedly a significant amount.

Shortly after their initial shock, they became extremely enthusiastic.

Such a substantial year-end bonus meant they would each receive quite a lot.

Actually, during this Hangzhou trip, Qin Yun managed to earn four hundred million!

Not only was the bank debt completely repaid, but the funds he could freely use had already reached two hundred million!

And these figures didn’t even count the daily impressive profit Celestial Fortune made in January.

"The year-end bonus will be distributed according to certain rules, with the length of time an employee has been with Celestial Fortune carrying the most weight, accounting for 40% of the total, followed by their ability and performance..." Qin Yun continued.

This time last year, Celestial Fortune had only opened a dozen shops, and now there were nearly three hundred!

Among the more than seven thousand employees at Celestial Fortune, very few had actually been with the company for a full year.

For example, in the newly opened stores in Shanghai, several hundred employees only joined this January.

Do these people get a year-end bonus? Of course not, considering this is their first year of employment.

Additionally, around two thousand employees in the garment factory were just recruited in December. They had only been with Celestial Fortune for one or two months, so their year-end bonus couldn’t be too high.

Those who received high bonuses had been with Celestial Fortune for a long time and exhibited outstanding performance.

If the one hundred million were divided, even the most ordinary store clerk who had worked at Celestial Fortune for a year would likely receive a year-end bonus of at least thirty to forty thousand.
