Not to mention Qin Xiaotao, now even the most ordinary employee at Celestial Fortune can earn an annual income of over a hundred thousand!

But she gave up on Celestial Fortune, gave up on Qin Xiaotao, one can only imagine her feelings.

Initially, if her mother hadn’t introduced that scumbag Zhang Yuancheng, she would definitely still be with Qin Xiaotao.

As Qin Xiaotao’s salary continued to increase, she definitely would have agreed to marry him, and now she’d be discussing marriage plans with him.

She could have had a house, a car in Jinling, not only with Qin Xiaotao, but she could have also continued working at Celestial Fortune, at least as the manager of a large clothing store there because of her relationship with Qin Xiaotao.

This year, managers at Celestial Fortune clothing stores receive annual bonuses of over sixty thousand, earning close to three hundred thousand a year.

This was the life she had always wanted.

But now, she has nothing.

...

Time flies, after the New Year, many people set out from their homes to various cities to start working again.

That’s how life is, without pause, as long as there is life, there must be striving.

Qin Xiaohai and Wang Na’s wedding is set for March, and knowing about Qin Xiaotao, Wang Na’s parents are not at all displeased to have such a capable brother-in-law; rather, they’re overjoyed.

They were initially worried that Qin Guoliang and Zhang Pandi would give most family assets to Qin Xiaotao, but since Qin Xiaotao earns millions a year, all family assets combined don’t even compare to what he earns annually.

Not to mention, there’s Qin Yun, a person worth at least several billion.

With their daughter marrying Qin Xiaohai, as long as he is a bit savvy, their daughter won’t suffer in the future.

Not to mention anything else, just from a realistic point of view, Qin Xiaotao is working in Jinling and only comes home a few times a year, Qin Guoliang and Zhang Pandi are in Wu City, Qingwu County, and together they earn over five hundred thousand a year.

Such conditions surpass many families.

Now their daughter is already pregnant and will soon have a child, so most of Qin Guoliang and Zhang Pandi’s earnings will definitely be spent on their grandson or granddaughter, if not all.

The progression of Qin Xiaohai and Wang Na’s wedding is very smooth, and as for Qin Xiaotao and Zhou Yue’s marriage, it’s also decided, with the latest set for the National Day holiday.

After finalizing the marriage, Qin Xiaotao returned to the company at the end of February.

"Brother Xiaotao, you seem to be in good spirits," Qin Yun said with a smile as he looked at Qin Xiaotao.

With half of the major life event resolved, Qin Xiaotao appeared to be in a completely different state of mind.

Making a playful remark, Qin Yun said, "However, there’s still a lot of work to be done at the company."

"President Qin."

In the office, Qin Xiaotao mostly addressed Qin Yun as President Qin: "I saw in the group chat earlier that it’s confirmed the headquarters is in Jinling?"

"Yes." Qin Yun nodded and said, "So, going forward, we need to start constructing the headquarters."

Before, Qin Yun had contemplated several ideas: whether to establish the headquarters in Qingwu County or in Jinling. If it were in Qingwu County, certainly there would be favorable policies and other benefits, and Celestial Fortune wouldn’t need to worry about any risks.

But ultimately, Qin Yun abandoned that idea.

Qingwu County is too small, so small that you can drive out of the county in just over half an hour.

In such a small place, there’s actually a severe lack of talent, because no one wants to come here.

It’s a small county that isn’t even considered a fifth-tier city.

Moreover, it’s inconvenient to reach other places; Qingwu County lacks high-speed rail and an airport. If Qin Yun were to visit the United States, it would take a long time just to get there.

On the other hand, Jinling is a new first-tier city with convenient transportation, abundant talent, comprehensive public services, a strong economic climate, and it’s very suitable for the company’s development.

In reality, if Celestial Fortune were only in the clothing industry, Qin Yun might consider establishing the headquarters in Qingwu County.

However, Celestial Fortune will definitely expand into other sectors in the future, such as the hotpot base ingredient business.

In the future, Qin Yun plans to continue branching out into other industries.

The medical research institute he’s currently running, where Li Kahe is researching a shampoo to address hair loss problems in young and middle-aged people, if such a product is successfully developed, Celestial Fortune will enter the shampoo market.

Since the Wealth System upgrade requires earnings, if such a product is successfully developed, would Qin Yun ignore an opportunity to earn money? Of course not.

Once entering that industry, the first thing needed is to hire a lot of people.

In a large city like Jinling, a recruitment advertisement quickly draws tons of applicants because of the abundant talent. It’s a place where many talented elites gather.

But in a small city like Qingwu County, which isn’t even a fifth-tier city, one can imagine there would be hardly any applicants, right?

Simple tasks like selling clothes or doing catering will find people, but niche industries like shampoo will see few applicants.

This is just one aspect, and the medical research institute and technology research institute that Celestial Fortune plans to establish might come up with other innovations in the future too.

In Qingwu County, no matter what branch is involved, recruiting the right talent would likely be a huge challenge!

Because the market is small, it’s difficult to introduce a new product to such a market.

Considering all factors, Qin Yun ultimately chose Jinling.

"Brother Xiaotao, going forward, your task is to negotiate with the government to purchase a plot of land..." Qin Yun said.

"Okay, Yun," Qin Xiaotao nodded in agreement.

The construction of Celestial Fortune Headquarters, from scratch, will likely take more than a year, but Qin Yun is not in a hurry and intends to build it gradually.

After discussing some details about the headquarters’ construction, Qin Yun headed over to the university.

With the Lantern Festival having passed and winter break over, students were back at school.

Upon arrival, Qin Yun first visited Chen Guoping.

He had a good relationship with Chen Guoping, as all matters concerning Jiangyuan University were handled by Chen Guoping talking to Qin Yun.

"Haha, Qin Yun, come and try some of the new tea I just bought," Chen Guoping said warmly, a big smile on his face as he welcomed Qin Yun.

Now Qin Yun has become a landmark figure at Jiangyuan University, and with Celestial Fortune’s large scale employing thousands, high-ranking officials in Su Province are very attentive to Qin Yun, providing several favorable policies.

If the growth momentum continues like this, the extent Celestial Fortune can reach in the future is unimaginable!

Jiangyuan University might very well produce a top-tier figure in the business world.

After chatting for a while, Qin Yun mentioned donating a million as a scholarship fund for students, which Chen Guoping thanked him for, saying they would announce it on the university’s website later.

"Qin Yun, there’s one thing I’d like to discuss with you," Chen Guoping said after a while.

"Oh? What is it?" Seeing Chen Guoping hesitating slightly, Qin Yun smiled and said, "Dean Chen, please feel free to speak."
