I Have a Wealth Gathering Array-Chapter 391: Poverty

Jiangyuan University, girls’ dormitory 406.

At this moment, Jiang Yi, Zhang Xiaoyue, and others were in the dormitory.

"Yue, is your Li Hanyu really going to make Douyin short videos?" Jiang Yi asked.

"Yes."

Zhang Xiaoyue nodded, smiled, and said, "Hanyu is raising funds now."

"He’s really got guts! I wouldn’t dare spend so much money making fantasy short videos."

Zhao Qing giggled and said, "But Qin Yun has money; it’s easy for Li Hanyu to borrow from him."

Hearing this, Jiang Yi glanced at Zhao Qing and said, "I think Qin Yun might not necessarily lend money. Didn’t Cheng Daxiong open a milk tea shop before, and Qin Yun didn’t lend him money? It’s not that easy to borrow money from rich people."

After feeling that there was no hope with Qin Yun, she hadn’t cared to please him, speaking her mind freely.

After all, she didn’t rely on Qin Yun to live.

As they were talking, Zhang Xiaoyue looked at her phone, her eyes lighting up, and said, "Hanyu said Qin Yun lent him two hundred thousand and also asked him to go to Celestial Fortune Clothing to discuss designing ancient costume styles with the designers."

"Wow! It really looks like Yue, your man is going to become a director. Don’t forget us in the future, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qing immediately giggled and looked at Jiang Yi, saying, "Yiyi, didn’t you just say Qin Yun wouldn’t lend money?"

Faced with Zhao Qing’s teasing, Jiang Yi didn’t respond.

...

After borrowing the money, Li Hanyu started shooting Douyin short videos, pursuing what he loved to see if there was any future in it.

He’s still young; even if he messes up financially, he can repay it later.

Zhao Kanghao still roamed around carelessly. His family was well off, with his parents giving him several thousand yuan of pocket money every month, so he never had to worry about money.

Most of his money was spent on winning over Jiang Yi, seemingly on his way to becoming a devoted pursuer. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Cheng Daxiong kept an eye on his investments, hoping to break even, planning to cash out completely once he did, and never dabble in the stock market again.

Liu Xin and Zhou Pang were busy working part-time jobs.

Liu Xin was always grateful to Qin Yun, wanting to save money to repay him in the future.

As for Zhou Pang, due to previously isolating Qin Yun, he had never thought of pleasing Qin Yun. Of course, the world was big, and he didn’t have to please Qin Yun.

Everyone had their own things to do, and nobody knew what the future held.

Perhaps ten years from now, everyone would have changed.

...

This was a very cramped space, crowded and chaotic, with a slightly hunched figure moving inside it.

"Creak!"

The space had some wooden planks that creaked with movement.

The space was almost entirely dark; the person forcefully opened the door, light flooding in instantly, revealing the person’s face clearly.

Their hair was gray, face full of wrinkles, eyes swollen, seemingly sleep-deprived for days.

"Old Wu, I don’t need these things; you take them."

Seeing the elderly person emerge, another elder spoke, carrying a large bag.

"Thanks!"

The elder quickly thanked him after taking the big bag.

The bag contained some bottles and other items.

"Sigh, I think you really shouldn’t live in that underground storage. It’s dark and damp; staying there won’t do your health any good," the elder advised.

But Old Wu only grinned without saying anything.

Seeing him like that, the other person said no more and quickly left.

Buzz...

While collecting things around the community, Old Wu’s phone suddenly rang. He took out a phone, an old Nokia, barely the size of a palm.

"Hello, my dear."

Answering the call, Old Wu’s face was full of smiles.

"... Dad’s doing well; no need to worry. Work hard. Oh, you went to a Celestial Fortune interview? Dad thinks you’ll definitely get the job. Yeah, don’t worry about coming to see me; I’ll be back soon. Don’t worry about money, either; Dad can earn money. You spend what you need to, you still have me and your little sister. In a while, I’ll have some more money coming in..."

The elder’s face was full of smiles, and after chatting for a bit, he hung up the phone.

The old man’s name was Wu Hanyang; he used to be a worker in Jinling, but he accidentally broke his leg when going down some stairs, so the construction site wouldn’t take him back.

Because the construction site dealt entirely with high-rise work.

Wu Hanyang had two daughters; the elder one was twenty-three, currently working at a clothing store. She often talked about wanting to work at Celestial Fortune Clothing, saying the pay and benefits there were great, and if she got in, she could earn money quickly for sure.

And now Celestial Fortune was recruiting, and his daughter went there too.

At Celestial Fortune Clothing, although they had recruited enough people in Jinling, personnel changes still occurred; people might leave suddenly due to personal events.

Such things were normal, and even companies like Tencent and Ali had people quitting, so sometimes they’d recruit again.

Wu Hanyang knew about Celestial Fortune; he heard it was started by a university student, very impressive. His daughter even bought him a piece of clothing from Celestial Fortune.

It was the best clothing he had ever worn.

His younger daughter was only eight, but she had a liver problem, requiring significant treatment costs. Now his wife was at home taking care of the younger daughter.

Besides working at construction sites, he did other jobs too, and due to overwork, he accidentally fell down the stairs.

Even though he was injured, he didn’t dare tell his family.

Once it was revealed, it would surely be a devastating blow to the family.

Slowly walking, Wu Hanyang reached the main street, picking up bottles.

With nothing to do and unable to let his family know his situation, he could only keep it hidden.

Now he made some money by collecting and selling recyclables. Gradually, he reached a place with some posters, including news about acts of bravery.

Previously, he overheard someone in the neighborhood talking about a young person being rewarded twenty thousand yuan by the police for an act of bravery.

After that, he kept that in mind, constantly paying attention to such situations, even hoping he would also have a chance to act bravely.

He saw that some wanted posters offered rewards, some as high as one hundred thousand yuan for criminals on the run.

So, while walking the street and picking up bottles, Wu Hanyang kept his eyes on the people coming and going, thinking if he encountered someone on the wanted list, he could earn a lot of money.

Inadvertently arriving at a certain place, there was a very large clothing store, bustling with many people, its business exceptionally good.

Wu Hanyang knew this was the Celestial Fortune Clothing store his elder daughter always dreamed of working for; his daughter often said the wages there were at least six thousand a month, sometimes as high as eight or nine thousand.

Wow, those wages were very high; he really hoped his daughter could get in.
