The two chatted idly for a while before they went to sleep.


    The next day, Qin Hao didn''t go looking for Du Wanrou, as her aunt had taken her away, and she wasn''t due back until the formal start of the school term.


    He and a few people from his dorm went out to have fun. Jianghai City was vast, and in three days they only visited a few places.


    At the same time, Qin Hao also witnessed the prosperity of an international metropolis.


    The flow of people here was incomparable to Jiangshan, and he was confident that if he were to open a roasted duck restaurant in Jianghai City, it would likely sell like hotcakes.


    Of course, investing in opening a store here would cost several times more than in Jiangshan; input and returns were proportional.


    With high foot traffic and consumer spending, returns would come faster here.


    Moreover, being an international metropolis, its reputation within Xuan Country was no less than that of the capital, Jinchen.


    Having his own store in such a place would also enhance the reputation of Jiangshan Roasted Duck Company.


    Over these few days, the idea of opening a branch in Jianghai City took root in his mind.


    On the evening of August 31, at a little past 8 PM, Qin Hao received a call from Kang Youyi.


    He began, "Hao, the performance data of the six newly opened stores is out. The total is two hundred and eighty thousand four hundred and fifty-two, with an average performance of over thirty thousand per store."


    Qin Hao nodded slightly, "Reward those who should be rewarded, and penalize those who should be penalized. I don''t want nepotism within the company."


    Kang Youyi said, "Yeah, sure, Hao, don''t worry. I have already given a cash bonus to the best performing store."


    Qin Hao replied, "Okay, good. You''ll have to work a bit harder while I''m away."


    Kang Youyi said, "You''re speaking as if we''re outsiders, Hao. I already feel unworthy of that one percent share in the company. Furthermore, Yu Jie and the others from the company are still compiling the performance report for August. It might be sent to you a bit later."


    Curious, Qin Hao asked, "How many people are in the finance department now? If we''re short-staffed, we should hire some more people."


    Kang Youyi responded, "Sure thing, Hao, I''ll check with Yu Jie about that."


    After hanging up the phone, Qin Hao returned to his dorm, and the chubby guy asked him, "Second bro, gonna play some games? Carry us in a round of ''Battle Royale''."


    "You guys play; I have to chat with my girlfriend."


    The chubby guy grumbled, "Damn, dog food out of nowhere."


    Sun Feng said with a smile, "We have to gather with the class tomorrow, and I think we''ll also start a week of military training. Let''s go to sleep early."


    "Alright, then let''s sleep."


    Qin Hao chatted with Du Wanrou for over an hour before he finally put down his phone to sleep.


    The next morning, at a little after 6 AM, the group in the dorm got up—there was no choice; the instructor had announced it in the group the day before.


    Wow, this is too good to be true."


    Wu Jun and Sun Feng were also stunned, because the girl who had just stepped up was also very pretty, not the least bit inferior to Ning Yao.


    Xu Siyao stood at the podium looking down at everyone, her gaze resting on Qin Hao.


    With a smile, she said, "Hello everyone, my name is Xu Siyao, and I am from Jianghai City."


    After she spoke, she bowed slightly and then walked down from the podium.


    Thunderous applause erupted from below, and Qin Hao also softly clapped his hands.


    He had not expected to encounter Xu Siyao here; on her, Qin Hao could no longer see any sign of arrogance.


    Compared to before, she seemed like a completely different person.


    Seeing her like this now, with a smile on her face, she had gotten back on the right track.


    ...


    The self-introductions soon came around to the people in Qin Hao''s dorm; Sun Feng was the first to step up, "Hello everyone, my name is Sun Feng, from Jianghai City."


    Then it was Wu Jun, Zhao De, and Chen Ping''s turn.


    Before Qin Hao could stand up, the fat boy hurriedly walked up; as he walked, Qin Hao could feel the ground shaking beneath him.


    Standing at the podium, Wang Yanghua smiled at He Tingting and said, "Hello, Mr He."


    He Tingting nodded slightly, then the fat boy turned to face the entire class, "Hello everyone, my name is Wang Yanghua, and I come from Nanzhe Province.


    I''m currently single and welcome all the beauties to hit on me."


    "Pfft"


    "Hahaha"


    The class erupted into laughter all of a sudden, this little fat guy really had thick skin.


    When He Tingting heard what he said, she was full of black lines, "Get down from there, now."


    The fat boy chuckled dryly and hurriedly made his way down, not forgetting to say, "If anyone has a crush on me, feel free to boldly ask for my contact details."


    Everyone in Qin Hao''s dorm lowered their heads as if to say I don''t know this guy.


    When the fat boy returned, it was Qin Hao''s turn; he was the only one left, and many turned their heads to look over.


    Qin Hao glared at the fat boy annoyedly; he had not planned to be the last to go, originally intending to go before him.


    Who knew that the fat boy would jump the gun and go out ahead of time.@@@@
