"Mm."
The girl, Shishi, nodded her head, seemingly giving Zhao Dongxue a strange look, and said, "Our Celestial Fortune Clothing Store has a total of six branches. Four are forty square meters, and there’s another slightly smaller than this one. I used to work at that Celestial Fortune Clothing Store and was recently transferred here."
"Six clothing stores?"
Zhao Dongxue was completely taken aback, seeing that what was before her was not all there was.
She couldn’t help but ask, "Did Qin Yun, no, President Qin open all of these?"
"Of course."
Shishi nodded and smiled, "All six stores were personally opened by President Qin. President Qin is truly remarkable, and every store he opened is booming with business."
When talking about Qin Yun, there was clearly a look of admiration in her eyes, along with a hint of hidden affection.
Starting from scratch, Qin Yun was not only tall but also handsome, practically perfect. Which girl in the store wouldn’t like such a guy?
Of course, they just thought about it in their hearts, knowing that being with Qin Yun was impossible.
Hearing this definite answer, Zhao Dongxue was completely stunned. Previously, she thought Qin Yun only opened a forty-square-meter small clothing store. Suddenly seeing this two hundred and forty square meter one already shocked her, but she didn’t expect that wasn’t all.
Her cousin Qin Yun had actually opened six stores!
The last time she saw Qin Yun was at home, when she was fifteen, and Qin Yun was also fifteen. At that time, she didn’t have any special impression of her cousin, except knowing that his grades were good and he got into Qingwu County First Middle School, while she didn’t even make it into the Second Middle School.
In such a short time, she didn’t expect that he had started such a big venture!
Not only here in Jinling, Zhao Dongxue remembered that Qin Yun also had his own business in Qingwu County.
"By the way, Xue, I noticed that you came in with President Qin earlier. Do you know President Qin?" Shishi thought for a moment and asked with a smile.
If she hadn’t noticed the previous situation, she wouldn’t have told Zhao Dongxue so much information.
Being personally brought in by Qin Yun, the girl in front of her must have some special relationship with Qin Yun.
Zhao Dongxue hesitated slightly and said, "Qin Yun is my cousin."
"Wow, you actually have that kind of relationship." Hearing this, Shishi exclaimed in surprise.
Looking at Zhao Dongxue, she said enviously, "Xue, make sure to look out for us in the store in the future."
As Qin Yun’s cousin, she would surely go much further than the rest of them.
Later, Shishi became even more enthusiastic towards Zhao Dongxue, and answered all her questions with whatever information she knew.
...
Leaving the Celestial Fortune Clothing Store, Zhao Dongxue still found it unbelievable.
"Xue, your cousin is amazing." Beside her, Ting couldn’t help but say, with clear admiration in her eyes.
She also felt extremely happy. She was now a member of the Celestial Fortune Clothing Store too, with a monthly salary of over five thousand.
When she goes back and calls her parents, they will surely be overjoyed.
"Of course, who do you think my cousin is?" Zhao Dongxue snapped back, lifting her chin proudly.
She had completely recovered from shock by now, her eyes darting around as if plotting something.
After thinking for a while, she directly made a phone call.
"Hello, Xue, did you see your cousin? How are your cousin’s stores doing?" On the other end of the line, Zhao Dongxue’s father, Qin Yun’s uncle, Zhao Jiafu, answered the call and asked eagerly.
He didn’t really understand the specific situation on Qin Yun’s side in Jinling, but with his daughter out alone, he was quite worried. If she worked at Qin Yun’s place, regardless of the salary, he would feel much more at ease.
"Mm, I saw him."
Zhao Dongxue nodded and said, "Dad, you have no idea, my cousin Qin Yun is incredible. He opened a total of six stores here in Jinling. Four of them are forty square meters, and two are over two hundred square meters, and their business is especially good. The store I went to today even has forty employees. I calculated, just paying salaries alone, one store needs to pay two hundred thousand!"
She couldn’t help but say.
"Six stores? One store needs to pay two hundred thousand in salaries?"
Hearing what Zhao Dongxue said, Zhao Jiafu was clearly stunned.
The Zhao Mei family was truly flourishing. He only knew the situation in Qingwu County before, but was already extremely shocked.
Now, the situation in Jinling was no less than that in Qingwu County.
"Dad, I’m currently arranged by my cousin in the big store, with the same salary as other regular employees, which is five thousand."
Zhao Dongxue said, "The big store manager earns eight thousand plus bonuses, while the manager of the forty-square-meter small store earns six thousand plus bonuses. Do you think you could talk to Aunt, and have cousin increase my salary a bit?"
Hearing what Zhao Dongxue said, Zhao Jiafu paused, then scolded, "Xue, what are you talking about? Your cousin arranged for you to work there, and you’re not thinking about working hard? Instead, you’re thinking about these side issues!"
This strange nature of his daughter, he didn’t know whom she took after.
"Dad, I’ve already found out everything."
Hearing Zhao Jiafu’s criticism, Zhao Dongxue immediately replied unhappily, "All of cousin’s stores just opened. The employees are basically newly recruited, and every new recruit gets five thousand in salary. I can’t be just like them, right?"
In Zhao Dongxue’s view, she and Qin Yun were family. She was Qin Yun’s cousin.
Certainly, as a relative, her salary and benefits couldn’t be no different, right?
Before, she thought her salary was high and was excited, but when she found out that everyone in the store had the same salary, it left her a little dissatisfied.
Actually, although she had been out for three years, she hadn’t really suffered much. For more than two years, she worked at places owned by her parents’ acquaintances, where her salary was low but she was well taken care of.
Coming to Jinling, without receiving any special treatment, she had a fallout with her boss, and has been unemployed since.
From her previous work experiences, she clearly knew that relatives of the boss usually received some special treatment.
Hearing what Zhao Dongxue said, Zhao Jiafu was so angry he blew his beard, glaring. Though he’s not highly educated, he wasn’t dumb either.
This was Qin Yun’s family business, why should you get benefits? The key was that in normal times, their family didn’t even help Qin Yun’s family much.
Now that Qin Yun gave her a job, working diligently would suffice, so why demand so much more?
Fuming, Zhao Jiafu scolded Zhao Dongxue even more.
"Oh, Dad, stop talking. Just talk to Aunt, it’s all within the family, I will definitely do a good job." Hearing the scolding, Zhao Dongxue impatiently said.
"Alright then, that’s that."
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
"This girl, really makes me angry!" Seeing his daughter hang up, Zhao Jiafu was even more furious, pacing back and forth in the room.
He called back but was rejected.
