As they watched, Qin Yun approached the noodle shop owner.
"Hello, may I help you with sothing to eat?" The owner greeted Qin Yun with a smile upon seeing him.
No matter how Qin Yun looked, as long as he was earning money, that’s all that mattered.
Looking at the prices of various noodles hanging on the wall, Qin Yun said, "Give the largest portion of beef noodles."
"Alright, beef noodles, that will be twenty yuan. Please pay first," the owner said with a smile.
"Pay first?"
Qin Yun felt a bit uneasy, and he asked, "Can I pay after I eat?"
"That won’t work." The noodle shop owner shook his head and said, "Here, you have to pay first."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yun was imdiately left in a dilemma.
He knew almost nothing about the situation here. From the earlier location check, he just knew this was a village in Sichuan Province, and he had already circled around the village, finding only this small noodle shop.
Spend more ti finding another place to eat? By then, Qin Xiaotao and others would have already arrived.
Besides, Qin Yun didn’t feel like walking anymore; he was too hungry.
He touched his stomach and thought to himself, "I’ll just have to endure."
"So he’s here for a free al." Several girls were paying attention, and seeing Qin Yun’s situation, Li Xiaoxiao whispered.
It looked like Qin Yun planned to eat first and then pay.
But when the owner insisted on paying first, Qin Yun didn’t order at all, clearly showing he didn’t have money.
No money but still ca to eat? Isn’t this a scam? It was obvious he ca for a free al.
After all, once it’s eaten, you can’t exactly make him spit it back out, can you?
Zhang Qian calmly said, "Do you really expect a beggar to shell out money for a al?"
At that mont, they had finished their al, and when they ca to the counter, Lin Wen noticed Qin Yun, who was about to leave, and suddenly said, "Owner, I’ll pay for his noodles."
She took out her phone and scanned the paynt code.
"Oh, Wen, what are you doing?"
"I think you’re way too soft-hearted, aren’t you?"
Seeing Lin Wen’s actions, Li Xiaoxiao and the others hurriedly said.
Lin Wen shook her head, feeling that Qin Yun wasn’t just a beggar but was temporarily facing so difficulties.
Qin Yun was a bit surprised at this mont too.
He had actually overheard what Zhang Qian and Li Xiaoxiao were saying, realizing they thought of him as a beggar.
But now he indeed looked like a beggar, with torn clothes and a dirty appearance, and he didn’t have money for food.
Nevertheless, he didn’t care to defend against these discussions and wasn’t about to justify himself emphatically.
However, since Lin Wen helped with paynt, he didn’t reject it.
"Thank you. My friend will arrive later, and I’ll repay you then." Qin Yun expressed his gratitude to Lin Wen.
"No need," Lin Wen smiled and said.
After saying that, she left the noodle shop.
Once she left, the several girls started talking.
"That beggar is quite handso."
"Yes, I feel he looks like a celebrity."
Li Xiaoxiao and another girl said.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qian disdainfully said, "So what if he’s handso? Being like this and still a beggar, he likely has nothing else going for him besides his looks."
Previously, she had spoken of her disdain for beggars, and she wasn’t about to change her attitude imdiately.
"And he even claims his friends will co and repay Lin Wen. To reach this point and still care about face."
The more it was discussed, the more disdainful she beca.
"Lin Wen’s too much of a saint..." Zhang Qian muttered to herself.
She knew how lazy beggars could be. In today’s society, where couldn’t one find a al?
Beggars were the people she looked down upon the most.
Looking at Lin Wen, Zhang Qian advised, "Wen, I’m telling you, you’re just too kind. Let tell you, kindness doesn’t get you anywhere."
Lin Wen smiled and said, "Hey, Sister Qian, I get it."
She didn’t argue much.
While wandering around the village, as they reached the dirt pit, Lin Wen intentionally took a look.
"Our Wen is thinking about that beggar again."
Getting wind of this, Li Xiaoxiao teased.
"Hehe, Xiaoxiao, since the beggar is so handso, maybe Wen has a crush on him." The other girl said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lin Wen’s face turned red, and she playfully hit her and said, "Stop talking nonsense."
But she couldn’t help but say again, "I feel there’s sothing special about him, maybe he’s facing so trouble."
"Oh my, Miss Lin Wen, if he’s beco a beggar, of course, he’s facing trouble."
Zhang Qian wrapped her arm around her and said impatiently, "You saw how he had no money for noodles and still wanted a free al, what’s there to doubt? Our Miss Lin Wen is just being overly sympathetic."
"But if you have the money, I think you could consider keeping him."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wen blushed even more.
The girls giggled and continued strolling around the village.
Unconsciously, they arrived at the entrance of the village.
"Wow, look, there are so many cars over there."
Arriving there, suddenly Li Xiaoxiao exclaid in surprise.
Zhang Qian also looked over, surprised, and said, "I recognize the model of that BMW in front, and it costs at least over a million!"
"Why are there suddenly so many cars, is so big shot returning to our village?"
The girls were astonished; their village was just a very ordinary place, as evidenced by its underdeveloped roads.
Now suddenly, a luxury car worth a million shows up, followed by several other cars, resembling the return of a significant figure.
The cars drew nearer, and as the BMW passed by, a hint of longing was evident on Zhang Qian’s face.
"There’s a girl at our school who is a top-tier rich second generation, she drives a million-dollar car on campus, drawing heaps of attention."
She admired that girl very much, always looking for opportunities to flatter her and build connections.
But there were so many trying to connect with that girl, she wasn’t even on the radar.
Watching the cars leave, Zhang Qian quickly said, "Co on, let’s go see which big shot has returned!"
She spoke excitedly and ran eagerly into the village.
Following her, Li Xiaoxiao, Lin Wen, and the others hurried after.
Their village was so small, no one was particularly wealthy, so they were all very curious about the owner of the luxury cars.
...
On the other side, Qin Yun was eating his noodles.
After finishing, though he was still hungry, he felt significantly better now.
He sat in the shop without leaving, waiting for Qin Xiaotao and others to arrive, while thinking about the next steps for Celestial Fortune’s developnt.
Now his Wealth System balance had reached over nine billion, and next month he could surely upgrade the Wealth System to level four!
By then, the Wealth Gathering Array he could deploy would definitely multiply, accelerating Celestial Fortune’s progress!
Thus, preparations for the upgrade had to be made properly.
New stores and such needed preparation, clothing stores needed mass hiring, and clothing factories needed further expansion.
