Qin Yun’s heart stirred, a point of light flew out, transforming into numerous lines, completely surrounding the laboratory before him.

Compared to the massive research institute, this laboratory was not large.

"For now, there’s only Li Kahe in the institute, so this Level 2 Wealth Gathering Array will cover Li Kahe’s lab. When more people come, we’ll expand it." Qin Yun thought to himself.

He could now actually deploy a Level 3 Wealth Gathering Array, but the wealth accumulation speed of a Level 3 array was astonishing, so he chose not to use it yet.

The most important thing was to earn more money first and upgrade the Wealth System; when a Level 4 Wealth Gathering Array is created, he could then bring out two Level 3 arrays to set up here in the institute.

This would be the most efficient.

...

Time flew by quickly, and in the medical research institute, Li Kahe began his research with the help of the Level 2 Wealth Gathering Array. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Soon it was already the 8th, which was the 29th of the lunar December.

"Leyao, I’m leaving." Standing under the building of Yu Leyao’s home, Qin Yun said while looking at the girl in front of him.

Yu Leyao, wearing a white down jacket, stood gracefully and reluctantly held on to Qin Yun.

"I’ll come to pick you up on the third day of the New Year." Qin Yun said with a smile.

"Okay."

Yu Leyao nodded lightly and said, "Be careful on the road."

"I know," Qin Yun nodded with a smile.

Today he was returning home as well.

Driving along the route back to Wu City, Qin Yun stopped after a while.

At this moment, a few girls were waiting here, led by Qin Yun’s distant cousin Qin Xiaoru.

Seeing the car, Qin Xiaoru immediately said to the girls beside her, "Ting... my cousin Yun’s car is here, I’m leaving first."

"Okay, go ahead."

"Tell us when you get home."

"Wishing you a happy New Year in advance."

The girls said with a smile, watching Qin Xiaoru get into the car.

They clearly looked envious because, due to Qin Xiaoru, they knew quite a bit about Qin Yun, who was in the car.

Currently, Qin Yun’s net worth was at least several hundred million, with some even claiming it exceeded a billion.

With Qin Xiaoru and Qin Yun’s relationship, it’s certain she could easily join Celestial Fortune after graduating from university.

They also knew about Celestial Fortune’s year-end bonuses, where even the minimum salary was over a hundred thousand a year!

Many Good University graduates couldn’t achieve this; the universities they attended weren’t very prestigious, so finding a job with a salary of over a hundred thousand a year would be difficult.

Who wouldn’t want such an impressive brother?

...

"Thank you, cousin Yun." In the car, Qin Xiaoru expressed her gratitude.

She was a bit reserved, as Qin Yun’s business was growing bigger while she wasn’t that familiar with him, naturally making her feel nervous.

"It’s a small thing."

Qin Yun waved his hand and asked, "Is working at the clothing store tiring?"

"Not tiring, everyone is very considerate of me." Hearing this, Qin Xiaoru quickly responded.

In the past year, she had saved up a small amount of money from her part-time job and gained a lot of experience.

"That’s good." Qin Yun smiled.

After exchanging a few words, Qin Yun focused on driving without asking much else.

By around five in the afternoon, Qin Yun finally returned to Qin Family Village.

For the New Year, Qin Yun’s family would definitely celebrate back at their hometown.

"It’s Yun’s car."

"Yun is back!"

Seeing Qin Yun’s car, some people from the village quickly recognized it, smiling and greeting warmly.

In October, Qin Yun prepared to help Qin Family Village by sourcing supplies for Celestial Fortune Clothing’s cafeteria from there, which kept the whole village busy.

Now the fields in Qin Family Village were filled with plastic greenhouses, which people previously avoided because it was hard to sell the vegetables they grew for a profit.

Plastic greenhouses weren’t easy to set up and required investment.

However, now the produce could be directly sold to Celestial Fortune’s cafeteria, as long as the quality was ensured, eliminating other worries, so everyone got involved.

Besides greenhouses, there were also fish ponds, shrimp ponds, etc.

In Qingwu County, Celestial Fortune Clothing continued to expand, employing over three thousand people!

Celestial Fortune Clothing could easily consume everything from Qin Family Village.

In over four months, each household in Qin Family Village had basically earned tens of thousands of yuan!

Next year, with watermelons and strawberries and such, their one-year income would surely increase further!

Every household had at least five acres of land, so earning over a hundred thousand yuan was inevitable.

Qin Family Village was quite poor, and many of the older generation were illiterate; these incomes were indeed very high.

Combined with the young people’s earnings from working outside, a family’s income could easily surpass two hundred thousand yuan a year!

Everyone was full of hope for the days to come, and all of this was thanks to Qin Yun.

People from surrounding villages were envious beyond words, with some engaging in conversations here from other villages too.

"Old Qin, we’re so envious of you and Qin Family Village."

"Yes, Celestial Fortune Clothing buys directly from you; with five acres, you could grow several batches of vegetables and fruits—what a lot of money that is."

"I’ve grown lots of vegetables that can’t sell; when will Celestial Fortune Clothing buy produce from our village too?"

"I think Celestial Fortune Clothing will expand in the future; when Qin Family Village can’t satisfy the demand, surely the factory will look elsewhere. Old Qin, you’ll have to speak up for our village then."

These outsiders spoke with a hint of sourness in their tone, only regretting that Qin Yun wasn’t from their village.

"Third Uncle Qin." "Hao’s Grandma."

Seeing everyone, Qin Yun greeted with a smile, unknowingly reaching home.

"Yun, take a rest, we’ll have dinner soon."

Seeing her son back, Zhao Mei said happily.

Her hair now had fewer white strands than before.

The family conditions were getting better and better, and Qin Yun was about to bring his girlfriend back, which was a big joyous event.

Returning to his room, it was noticeably smaller compared to the large villa he bought in Jinling, but Qin Yun found it cozy as he had lived there for over ten years.

Checking his phone, there was a message from Yu Leyao: "Have you arrived home?"

After thinking for a moment, Qin Yun directly sent a video call, which was answered, showing Yu Leyao in the kitchen, seemingly serving dishes.

"You’ve cooked so many dishes," Qin Yun remarked after taking a look, "Can you and Professor Zhao finish them all?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Leyao laughed, "Of course not, but my parents will be back soon."

"Oh, your parents are coming back?" Qin Yun said in surprise.

But considering it’s the New Year’s season, it was perfectly normal for them to return.

"Yun, it’s time for dinner."

After talking for a while, a voice came from downstairs.

Qin Yun smiled and said, "I’m going to eat first, I’ll get back to you later."

"Mm, go ahead." Yu Leyao nodded with a smile.

The dinner on the 29th of lunar December was filled with delicious aromas, laughter, and warmth.

Amidst this joy and laughter, the new year was approaching.
