"Huh? Wasn’t this Celestial Fortune Clothing before? How come it’s now Qiyun Clothing Store?"
"Don’t you know? Previously Celestial Fortune Clothing announced that their store had moved fifty meters away."
"Oh, I see it, it’s just ahead."
"Come on, let’s go check out Celestial Fortune Clothing, there are new clothes there every day."
At this moment, seeing the two of them arrive in front of Qiyun Clothing Store and stop, Sun Yadong’s face immediately showed a smile.
"Haha, this place is blessed with prosperity now, we have customers so soon." Sun Yadong felt pleased.
Wealth is something intangible, sometimes a store suddenly becomes popular for no apparent reason, these things are uncontrollable.
In his opinion, this store is currently experiencing good fortune.
Thinking about it, Sun Yadong glanced at a salesperson, this youthful and lively salesperson approached the two customers and said, "Hello."
However, as soon as the two were about to step into the store, they turned and left directly.
Seeing this, the smile on Sun Yadong’s face immediately froze.
The two customers who were about to enter the store just turned and left?
Sun Yadong was not wrong; this place was indeed having a stroke of good fortune, but unfortunately, the fortune had been taken by Qin Yun.
The two customers left Qiyun Clothing Store and went in front of Celestial Fortune Clothing, and then went straight inside.
"Xiaoxuan, someone’s here to buy clothes." Zhao Mei exclaimed excitedly.
The store had just opened, and by half-past eight there were already customers arriving, which was clearly a good omen.
And a few minutes later, two more people came, and seven minutes later, someone paid and bought a piece of clothing.
Then, just like before with Celestial Fortune Clothing, customers kept coming, maintaining at least two people, and at most, there were even eight or nine people in the store.
On average, they sold a piece of clothing every ten minutes.
Zhao Mei, Qin Xuan, and others busily worked with excitement, as for Sun Yadong, his expression was evidently a bit gloomy.
Inside Qiyun Clothing Store, there was not a single person at the moment, about a dozen people passed by out of curiosity, but upon noticing this was not Celestial Fortune Clothing, they turned and left.
Most people didn’t even take a glance.
For an entire hour, only five people actually entered the store, and the sales volume was: none.
"What’s going on? Isn’t this place supposed to be experiencing good fortune? Apart from the name change, nothing else has changed, so why are the ones buying clothes heading to Celestial Fortune Clothing?"
Sun Yadong’s face darkened slightly as he stared at Celestial Fortune Clothing in the distance.
People kept going in and out of that store, indicating that business was booming.
In comparison, his store was completely deserted.
The location hadn’t changed, the display, styles, and everything else remained the same, yet when Qin Yun ran it, business was booming, while his was this poor.
Sun Yadong couldn’t figure out where the problem lay?
Even though he initially thought it would be hard for Qiyun Clothing Store to reach the previous boom of Celestial Fortune Clothing, it shouldn’t be to the extent that there wasn’t a single customer, right?
"Uncle, what do we do now?"
Right at this moment, a girl came forward and couldn’t help but ask.
She was Sun Yadong’s niece, who used to work in a clothing store, and this time with Qiyun Clothing Store opening, he asked his niece to work here as a cashier.
But now, there wasn’t a single person buying clothes in the store.
"Qin, let’s wait a little longer."
Sun Yadong managed a strained smile on his face and said, "It’s still early, the day’s just begun, maybe business will pick up later."
He was fervently hoping for a better business ahead.
But reality was far from what he hoped for.
Nine o’clock... Ten o’clock... Eleven o’clock...
Time kept passing, yet there were hardly any people inside Qiyun Clothing Store, and not a single piece of clothing was sold throughout the entire morning.
In contrast, all morning long, Celestial Fortune Clothing sustained its boom, indicating a surely considerable turnover.
It seemed these customers were determined to patronize only Celestial Fortune Clothing.
...
At eleven fifty in the morning, Qingwu County’s classes ended, and Qin Yun rode his bike toward Sunshine City.
Sunshine City was quite a distance from Qingwu County First Middle School, about ten minutes by bike, but with some traffic lights on the way, by the time he approached Sunshine City, it was already twelve.
Buzz...
At precisely twelve o’clock, Qin Yun suddenly felt a moment of dizziness, followed by some information abruptly appearing in his mind.
"Name: Qin Yun."
"Wealth Gathering Array: 2 units"
"Balance: 136,800"
Following this information, a mechanical voice sounded.
"Balance has not reached one million, insufficient to activate Level 2 Wealth Gathering Array."
"A Level 1 Wealth Gathering Array can be activated on the first of each month."
"Currently, 2 Level 1 Wealth Gathering Arrays, 1 used."
"The next Wealth System information will update at noon on July 1st."
One voice after another continuously sounded, and with these sounds, Qin Yun sensed another strange light point appearing in his mind.
The light point was almost imperceptible, yet inside it was incomparably complex, with mysterious and intricate patterns crisscrossing, filled with an incredibly profound feeling.
This is a Level 1 Wealth Gathering Array!
After a month, Qin Yun had obtained a second one!
Hearing this information, Qin Yun’s eyes showed a trace of doubt, as he directly asked in his mind, "System, didn’t I make more than 120,000 in May?"
The balance before May was over 10,000, so the increase for May was over 120,000.
Celestial Fortune Clothing’s total turnover in May amounted to roughly 380,000, and after deducting the costs, the profit was over 190,000, coupled with customer top-ups, it even approached 300,000.
Even deducting staff wages, there was over 200,000. Unexpectedly, the balance shown in the Wealth System was so low.
"Host, the balance refers to the profits after deducting certain costs, your actual profit needs to exclude the cost of clothing wholesale, staff wages, taxes, and all other expenses, which might not have been processed by you yet, but the system has deducted them automatically. Moreover, the top-up money can only be counted towards the balance after actual consumption." The Wealth System explained in response to Qin Yun’s inquiry.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yun helplessly said, "Alright, I understand."
According to the system, the balance is indeed the true pure profit from the clothing store, after deducting all expenditures.
He hadn’t yet distributed May’s salary, but the system had already deducted it based on the wages he set.
Additionally, top-up money doesn’t count. Even if a customer tops up a million on a card, he directly receives a million, but if the customer only spends two thousand, then only this two thousand, after deducting certain costs, can be counted into his balance.
