Qin Yun pondered silently.

Right now Celestial Fortune had already taken over the markets of four provinces in the country, and next month it would take another province, which meant the overall scale would suddenly expand by a quarter! Of course he had to recruit in advance!

"Hm?"

After staying in the noodle shop for a while, Qin Yun suddenly looked outside, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

He stood up directly and walked out of the noodle shop.

Outside the shop, several people were looking around for something, and judging from their looks, they were Qin Xiaotao and the others.

Earlier, the location Qin Yun had sent to Qin Xiaotao and the others wasn’t at this noodle shop, and since he didn’t have a phone, he couldn’t resend a new location.

But this mountain village was tiny; just walk around a bit and you’d cover the whole place.

Since Qin Xiaotao and the others couldn’t find Qin Yun, they’d definitely search around, and now Qin Yun had directly spotted them.

"Yun!"

Seeing the young man walk out of the noodle shop, Qin Xiaotao froze for a second.

But he didn’t hesitate and quickly stepped forward.

The others also followed behind Qin Xiaotao and hurried over.

Three days ago, Qin Yun had said he was going abroad on business, and then his phone went dead.

But Yang Xi, the manager in charge of klucky Clothing overseas, had said Qin Yun was fine now—this had been arranged by Qin Yun beforehand.

Even so, they were still worried. After getting Qin Yun’s call just now, they were so excited that they rushed right over.

"Brother Xiaotao." Qin Yun smiled.

Only three days had passed in this timeline, but he’d spent three months in the previous one—that was already a long time.

"Yun, what happened to you..."

Right now Qin Xiaotao stared at Qin Yun’s clothes, his expression constantly shifting. There was clearly still dirt on Qin Yun’s clothes—what on earth had happened?

But Qin Yun waved his hand and said, "We’ll talk when we get back."

The group headed toward where the cars were parked.

Qin Yun walked in front, Qin Xiaotao at his side, reporting something to him.

And while they were talking, in the distance, Zhang Qian, Lin Wen, and the others finally came running over.

When they saw what was happening in front of them, their faces changed, and an expression of utter shock instantly appeared on their faces.

"Those people came to pick up that beggar?"

Under their gaze, the owners of the luxury cars—Qin Xiaotao and his group—were all following behind Qin Yun.

And judging by their attitude, they seemed to be very respectful toward Qin Yun?

Especially Zhang Qian—she’d always looked down on Qin Yun before, so what was going on now?

While they were talking, Qin Yun also noticed the girls not far away.

He thought for a moment, then took Qin Xiaotao’s phone and walked over. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

At this moment Lin Wen was staring blankly at Qin Yun, clearly stunned by what she was seeing.

A car worth more than a million, plus several other vehicles—they’d just been gossiping about them, and they’d run over wanting to see who the owner of the luxury car was.

Yet all these cars had actually come to pick up Qin Yun.

"Can I borrow your phone for a moment?" Qin Yun asked, looking at Lin Wen.

"Uh... oh, sure." Hearing this, Lin Wen was dazed for a second, then hurriedly nodded.

After taking Lin Wen’s phone, Qin Yun operated Qin Xiaotao’s phone for a bit, and soon he handed Lin Wen’s phone back.

"Thanks for what you did earlier." Qin Yun said with a smile.

"N-no need." Seeing the smile on Qin Yun’s face, Lin Wen quickly shook her head. Looking at Qin Yun, she felt a little nervous.

No kidding—Qin Yun’s identity had just done a complete 180, the luxury cars were right in front of her, and all these people were treating Qin Yun with such respect. With that kind of scene, how could she not be nervous?

Qin Yun didn’t say anything else, just gave her another smile and then got into the car.

Under their eyes, Qin Xiaotao, the owner of the luxury car, personally opened the door for Qin Yun.

The car started up and quickly drove off, leaving Zhang Qian, Lin Wen, and the others staring after it, unable to recover for a long time.

Suddenly, Zhang Qian snapped out of it, looked at Lin Wen, and hurriedly said, "Wen, that begg... that guy who just borrowed your phone, what did he do with it?"

"Yeah, Wen."

"Doesn’t he already have a phone?"

As Zhang Qian finished speaking, Li Xiaoxiao and the other two girls quickly chimed in, their curiosity piqued.

Lin Wen opened her phone and glanced at it, then said in a daze, "He just transferred ten thousand yuan to me."

She opened her WeChat.

Earlier, Qin Yun had used her phone to add Qin Xiaotao’s WeChat and send a location. Then just now, Qin Yun had used Qin Xiaotao’s phone to transfer ten thousand yuan to her and even helped her accept it directly.

Otherwise, Lin Wen would very likely have rejected it.

"Ten thousand yuan!"

"Ten thousand for a bowl of noodles—is that how the rich say thank you?"

Seeing the transfer record, Li Xiaoxiao and the others exclaimed. Previously, it was Lin Wen who had paid for Qin Yun’s bowl of noodles, and now, as thanks, Qin Yun had sent over this much money.

Zhang Qian was also looking on, her gaze constantly shifting, no one knew what she was thinking.

Back then she’d thought Qin Yun was dining and dashing, and figured his promise to pay Lin Wen back later was just saving face.

But now not only had he paid her back, he’d paid back ten thousand in one go.

For people like them, ten thousand yuan could buy a lot of things.

"I remember now—that guy is Qin Yun!"

Just then, a startled shout suddenly rang out.

It wasn’t just them—some other villagers were also around, and one young man suddenly got excited.

"The founder of Celestial Fortune Group! He actually came to our village!"

Seeing how fired up the young man was, a few people around him asked curiously,

"Dazhi, who’s this Qin Yun?"

"What does he do? What’s he doing in our village?"

Faced with their curiosity, the young man started explaining, his face full of excitement, as if Qin Yun being so amazing had something to do with him.

"Qin Yun? Celestial Fortune Group?"

The girls including Li Xiaoxiao also heard this, and Li Xiaoxiao quickly said, "Let me look him up."

With a quick search, information about Qin Yun popped up in front of them.

"Qin Yun, twenty years old, student at Jiangyuan University, founder of Celestial Fortune Group. Its subsidiary, Celestial Fortune Clothing, has over eight thousand employees. It also owns Celestial Fortune Shampoo, Celestial Fortune toothpaste... As soon as they entered the market, they were highly rated by many consumers... According to data analysis, Qin Yun’s personal net worth may have already reached over one billion yuan, possibly much more..."

The girls all stared at the screen.

After seeing this, even more shock appeared on the faces of Lin Wen, Li Xiaoxiao, and the others.

"This Qin Yun is the founder of Celestial Fortune Group!"

"His net worth is at least over a billion!"

"How is that possible?"

They were stunned, almost unable to believe what they were seeing.

From how Qin Yun had looked before, he clearly didn’t seem like a rich person—he’d even been mistaken by them for a vagrant, a beggar. But this vagrant, this beggar, was actually that loaded?

Especially Zhang Qian. She’d been thinking about how much she wanted to meet someone rich, but just now, a genuinely rich guy had been right in front of her. She’d had so many chances to get to know him, yet all she’d done was sneer and act cold.
