The twenty-ninth of the Chinese New Year quickly passed, and soon it was New Year’s Eve. In all the Celestial Fortune groups, people were sending red envelopes.

Looking at it, Qin Yun had also sent out several big red envelopes.

"President Qin is so generous!"

"President Qin, mwah!"

After sending out a few red envelopes, the entire group became more lively.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Qin Yun kept receiving New Year greetings, and he also chose some people to greet.

It wasn’t until midnight that Qin Yun got up and opened the door.

As if by prior arrangement, at the stroke of the hour, bursts of light shot into the sky.

Beams of light in the air, at first glance, looked like a soaring dragon.

"Unconsciously, a year has passed." Qin Yun thought silently to himself.

Last year, Qin Guodong entrusted him with the task of opening the door at midnight on New Year’s Eve; this was his second time doing it.

Recalling last year’s scene, Qin Yun still remembered it vividly.

Moreover, within just a year, Celestial Fortune has continued to grow, reaching such a scale.

And this year is the Year of the Dragon!

The dragon represents great success. After this year, Qin Yun is anticipating how far Celestial Fortune can develop.

...

On the first day of the New Year, Qin Yun and his father, Qin Guodong, went to visit his grandparents.

Previously, Qin Yun’s grandfather was not in good health, but perhaps because his mood improved, his health recovered, and he looked like he could live many more years.

When they arrived, there were already people there – a plump middle-aged woman wearing a wool coat and a slightly prosperous-looking middle-aged man.

This was Qin Yun’s aunt, Qin Xiaolan, and his Uncle Wu Kai.

Beside them was Qin Yun’s cousin, Wu Mingfeng.

"Oh, Guodong, Yun, you’re here."

Looking at the two, Qin Xiaolan smiled warmly.

In the past, the three brothers of Qin Guodong lived very hard. Meanwhile, Wu Mingfeng was very accomplished, having been admitted to a prestigious university in Beiping, and after graduation, he stayed there for work and later brought his parents, Wu Kai and Qin Xiaolan, over.

They settled in Beiping and undoubtedly lived better than Qin Guodong and the others.

In the past, when Qin Xiaolan returned from Jing City, she loved to brag about how capable her son was.

Parents love to talk about their children; it’s very normal. But at this moment, Qin Xiaolan said nothing.

Last year, she learned about Qin Yun opening a clothing factory and store called Celestial Fortune and had been paying attention to it.

My goodness, Celestial Fortune is now so immense! It spans more than three provinces, employs over 7,000 people, and even gave out a hundred million as a year-end bonus to reward employees!

You can just imagine how much money this nephew of hers has earned!

Not to mention, Qin Xiaotao, well aware that his annual salary is a million, with a year-end bonus of three million!

Knowing this, she was envious and wanted her son to join Celestial Fortune, but Wu Mingfeng refused.

He works in scientific research, which has nothing to do with clothing stores, so to join would mean starting from scratch.

He felt that earning what he currently did was enough, which made Qin Xiaolan scold him for lacking ambition.

However, since her son didn’t want to, she didn’t insist, but she was very enthusiastic towards Qin Yun.

...

Time flew by, following the usual visiting relatives routine. On the second day, Qin Yun visited a few of his uncles’ homes.

On the third day, he went straight to Jinling to bring Yu Leyao back.

"Yun, have you eaten?" Seeing Qin Yun, Yu Leyao’s father, Yu Jiancheng, asked with a smile.

For someone so young to have achieved such business success, it’s commendable.

Yu Jiancheng’s business was also significant. His company, New Yuan Technology, is engaged in batteries and other subsidiary industries. After being publicly listed for a few months, its market value exceeded 40 billion.

"Yes, I have." Qin Yun replied with a smile, behaving very politely.

"Leyao, bring these things with you, don’t lose your manners." Professor Zhao glanced at Qin Yun and then spoke to Yu Leyao.

Regarding her granddaughter, she didn’t intervene, maintaining a supportive attitude.

Qin Yun helped carry the things into the car and asked the girl in front of him, "Leyao, you’re coming home with me soon, are you nervous? I have quite a few relatives."

Upon hearing this, Yu Leyao retorted playfully, "Qin Yun, I wasn’t nervous at first, but now that you’ve said this, I’m feeling a bit nervous."

Qin Yun chuckled and said, "Don’t be nervous, this time just meeting my parents will suffice, no need to meet other relatives yet."

When it comes to discussing marriage, meeting other relatives would be more appropriate then.

Soon, he brought Yu Leyao over to Qingwu County, the house being the villa previously bought by Qin Yun’s parents.

"Hello uncle, auntie, sister... I’m Yu Leyao." At home, Yu Leyao introduced herself gracefully and with a gentle smile.

Knowing her brother was bringing his girlfriend home, Qin Yun’s older sister, Qin Xuan, and her family also came over.

In fact, Zhao Mei and Qin Guodong had visited Jinling before and met Yu Leyao, while Qin Lu, naturally no different, only Qin Xuan had not met her yet.

Seeing Yu Leyao’s obedient manner, Zhao Mei was delighted and warmly said, "Leyao, welcome to our home for New Year’s."

"Consider this your home."

Yu Leyao looked very pretty, her personality also excellent, She was truly fond of her.

"Leyao, I’ve heard Yun talk about you before, but it’s my first time meeting you." Qin Xuan greeted her with a smile as well.

Originally a bit nervous, but seeing that Qin Yun’s family was so enthusiastic, Yu Leyao breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Yun, since it’s Leyao’s first visit to our home, you must accompany her throughout, show her a good time," Zhao Mei repeatedly instructed.

Qin Yun nodded, looked at Yu Leyao, and smiling, said, "After dinner, I’ll take you out for a look. Although Qingwu County is small, the scenery is quite nice."

"Great."

Hearing this, Yu Leyao nodded slightly and smiled, "I must take a good look then."

After that, Qin Yun took Yu Leyao sightseeing. Initially thinking that this New Year would pass without any incident and afterward they could directly head back to Jinling, however, within a day of Yu Leyao arriving home, Qin Yun received quite a surprising piece of news.

"Mom, you said Brother Xiaohai got a girlfriend, and she’s pregnant?" Qin Yun asked in surprise.

His uncle, Qin Guoliang, has two sons, the elder being Qin Xiaotao, and the younger Qin Xiaohai.

Qin Xiaohai is now twenty-eight, working at a machinery factory in the city. He is a bit resistant to his parents’ lecturing, so he rarely comes home, only spending a day or two during holidays.

Last year, Qin Xiaohai didn’t come back for the New Year.

Counting the time, Qin Yun hasn’t seen his cousin for nearly two years now.
