Du Wanrou was also a bit surprised, "Is Qin Hao's company valued at several billion? That high?"
Feng Xiangyi nodded, "You've got a sharp eye, girl. How come I never meet such capable men?"
Du Wanrou's cheeks flushed red, "Auntie, you're so annoying, always teasing me."
"Haha, you better keep a close eye on this kind of man, or someone else might snatch him away," Feng Xiangyi reminded her.
"Yeah, if they manage to snatch him away, that's their skill."
Despite saying this, Du Wanrou was still more alert inside.
The image of Li Moying came to her mind, a woman whose appearance and family background were in no way inferior to hers.
The next morning, Qin Hao didn't go to class and took the bus to Xinshang Square after having breakfast.
He arrived at Xinshang Square at eight-thirty in the morning.
Outside the duck store, two rows of ceremonial cannons were set up, all adorned with red cords, looking festive and joyful.
Outside the storefront, there was also a pair of beautiful floral baskets.
Beneath the floral baskets was written: Gift from Yuan Kang Pharmaceutical Group.
At the same time, Yang Mei came with her assistant carrying two floral baskets. Seeing Qin Hao, she smiled and said, "Mr. Qin."
"Mr. Yang, what's this about?" Qin Hao curiously asked her.
Yang Mei smiled and said, "Since your store is in my Xinshang Square, it's only right to send floral baskets to congratulate you on its opening. Xiao Mei, place the baskets on both sides of the entrance."
After she spoke, she also glanced at the floral basket by the entrance.
Yuan Kang Pharmaceutical Group?
Seeing this name, her eyes narrowed slightly, and a glint flashed in her pupils, "Do you know Mr. Xu from Yuan Kang Pharmaceutical Group?"
Only with the group president's consent can the full name of the group be written on the gifted floral baskets.
Qin Hao nodded and didn't explain much, "Mr. Yang, come in and have a seat."
"Won't it disturb your opening?" Yang Mei initially didn't plan to enter, but now she changed her mind.
The more she saw of Qin Hao, the more inscrutable he seemed.
He actually knew the president of Yuan Kang Pharmaceutical Group, what exactly was their relationship?
Yuan Kang Pharmaceutical was a major enterprise with assets over ten billion and an immensely deep background, untouchable by anyone.
Inside the store, Qin Hao saw a jadeite cabbage on a table in the front.
The jadeite cabbage symbolizes wealth accumulation and is normally found in stores, some of which also display golden toads and other ornaments.
"Where is this from?" Qin Hao curiously asked when he saw the jadeite cabbage.
Liu Pengyun was busy preparing at the front desk and hadn't noticed Qin Hao and others entering when he heard the voice.
He hurriedly replied, "Mr. Qin, this was sent by someone from Yuan Kang Pharmaceutical Group, as per their president's instructions."
Qin Hao nodded slightly, "Mhm, I know. How are the preparations going?"
"They are ready now, we can set off the ceremonial cannons at nine o'clock," Liu Pengyun said excitedly.
Hearing Liu Pengyun's words, Yang Mei, standing beside Qin Hao, was somewhat shocked. Sending floral baskets was understandable, but sending a jadeite ornament worth several hundred thousand was another story.
This clearly showed that their relationship was not simple.
Yang Mei stayed a while and then left with her assistant.
At nine o'clock in the morning,
The sound of ceremonial cannons echoed from the entrance of Jiangshan Spicy Duck Store at Xinshang Square. Although the crowd was not as large as during weekends, it was still significant.
The ceremonial cannons attracted many gazes.
Li Guangfu from the property management company of Xing'an Square furrowed his brow upon hearing this, looking toward Xinshang Square, "What's going on over there? Are they holding some event?"
Both sides had organized many events in the past to attract foot traffic, even hiring celebrities for performances.
But Xinshang Square was still at a disadvantage with no significant change.
Li Guangfu's secretary spoke up, "That's a new store opening at Xinshang Square."
Li Guangfu scoffed, "Oh? A new store opening there? Are they blind? Don't they know our Xing'an Square has higher traffic?"
"Mr. Li, the owner of that store is the young man who visited us last time," the secretary whispered.
Li Guangfu looked somewhat embarrassed, yet he scoffed, "He'll regret it soon and then he'll have to come to our Xing'an Square."
After the salvo of ceremonial cannons, everyone in the store became busy.
Nie Si poured Qin Hao a cup of tea and then stood by cautiously.
Qin Hao sat in his office making phone calls.
The store not only had a manager's office, but also a finance office.
"I understand, send me the performance report of the new store tonight," Qin Hao said calmly to Kang Youyi over the phone.
Kang Youyi, "Okay, Hao, there's another matter that needs your decision."
Qin Hao, "What's the matter?"
"After some discussions, everyone thinks that our company should establish a training base to support our rapid development. What do you think, Hao?"
Qin Hao thought for a moment and said, "Mhm, that's a possibility. We must keep a tight control over the mid and senior management positions to avoid any mishaps."
After hanging up, Qin Hao's phone rang again. It was a call from Li Moying.
"Master, where are you? I couldn't find you in your classroom," Li Moying directly asked.
