On a street in Jinling City, Xiao Lan waited silently.

Before long, Qin Yun arrived here.

"Xiao Lan." He looked at the waiting girl, strode over, and said, "You've been waiting here for a long time, haven't you?"

Previously, Xiao Lan had suddenly called him to meet up.

"No, I just got here too."

Xiao Lan looked at Qin Yun, smiled, and said that although she hadn't seen Qin Yun much this month, he seemed to be etched more deeply in her heart.

Without saying much now, the relationship between the two seemed not to warrant saying much; Xiao Lan directly took out a bank card, looked at Qin Yun, and said, "Qin Yun, I heard about the issues with Celestial Fortune Clothing Store. You must be in trouble now. There's 300,000 in this card. I hope it can help you a little."

She handed over the bank card.

Seeing this, Qin Yun was stunned, his heart warming. He shook his head and said, "Xiao Lan, don't worry. Although Celestial Fortune Clothing Store is being suppressed now, that suppression is nothing to me. I have ways to deal with it."

His face carried a look of confidence.

Upon hearing his words, Xiao Lan stared at him for several seconds before nodding and saying, "Alright, if you need anything, you can call me anytime."

"Okay." Qin Yun smiled and said.

...

On another street, a woman was walking.

This woman didn't look very beautiful, around twenty-five or twenty-six years old. Her face seemed familiar; she was Zhang Yiyi, the manager of one of Qin Yun's three major clothing stores.

Zhang Yiyi was very capable. Having failed to get into university, she ventured out into the world. In seven or eight years, she accumulated a wealth of experience.

The other two major store managers of Qin Yun, Zhou Jinlan and Hu Qian, were both in their thirties, but she was the youngest, showcasing her capabilities.

Qin Yun valued her highly.

"Yiyi, what does the owner of Cold Dew Clothing want from you now?"

Beside Zhang Yiyi, a girl in her twenties couldn't help but ask, "Now Cold Dew Clothing is suppressing our stores, so it's not very suitable for you to meet with that owner."

This girl used to follow Zhang Yiyi, and now that Zhang Yiyi was the manager at Celestial Fortune Clothing, she naturally came to work at the store too.

"I'm not sure."

Zhang Yiyi shook her head and said, "But there's no harm in meeting once."

Her expression calm, she went to a restaurant.

Here, Zuo Han was already waiting.

"Miss Zhang." Seeing Zhang Yiyi coming over, Zuo Han smiled and said, "Please have a seat."

Zhang Yiyi sat down, looked at Zuo Han, and asked, "I wonder why President Zuo asked me here?"

She directly inquired.

Zuo Han, not wasting any words, directly asked, "I wonder if Miss Zhang is interested in joining our Cold Dew Clothing?"

In business competition, poaching the opponent's people is also a method.

Now that they were fully suppressing Celestial Fortune Clothing, the managers of those three major stores were naturally their targets.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yiyi fell silent and did not speak.

Zuo Han was in no rush, savoring his drink slowly.

After a dozen seconds, Zhang Yiyi finally asked, "I wonder what conditions President Zuo can offer?"

Now in her twenties, she was in the prime of her life, looking for better development opportunities, and she definitely wanted to go.

Now, to her, Celestial Fortune Clothing definitely couldn't withstand Cold Dew Clothing's attack, and failure was just a matter of time.

Therefore, she was considering joining Cold Dew Clothing.

Upon hearing Zhang Yiyi's words, Zuo Han's face showed a hint of a smile.

"We'll give you a two thousand raise on top of what you're earning at Celestial Fortune Clothing Store," he said directly. "But you must immediately leave Celestial Fortune Clothing Store."

If they only brought Zhang Yiyi over after Celestial Fortune Clothing Store went bankrupt, it wouldn't be worth poaching.

Now, as Cold Dew Clothing expanded in Su Province, they also needed to recruit the appropriate personnel.

Zhang Yiyi hesitated and said, "What about my losses at Celestial Fortune Clothing...?"

If she betrayed them directly, without processing her resignation formally, Celestial Fortune wouldn't pay her, and she'd have no recourse.

"Miss Zhang, you can rest assured; we'll compensate for your losses," Zuo Han said with a smile.

In the end, Zhang Yiyi nodded.

"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation." Zuo Han's face showed a hint of a smile.

...

"What? Zhang Yiyi resigned immediately? She won't come to the store tomorrow?"

Qin Yun received a call from Zhao Tianqiang, and his expression immediately turned extremely grim.

The betrayal at such a crucial moment, needless to say, made him feel furious!

"President Qin..."

Zhao Tianqiang hesitated slightly and said, "Cold Dew Clothing approached me before, but I turned them down."

Zhao Tianqiang was the highest-ranking position in Celestial Fortune Clothing apart from Qin Yun, responsible for many aspects of the clothing store. If Zhao Tianqiang left, the entire Celestial Fortune Clothing Store would likely quickly descend into chaos.

However, many managers also cared about their reputation; if they betrayed their company casually, many big companies wouldn't dare to hire them.

Because, betraying one's current company might lead to betraying a second company in the future.

Zhao Tianqiang still had professional ethics.

"And based on my judgment, Cold Dew Clothing probably also approached Zhou Jinlan and Hu Qian, but they probably refused as well," Zhao Tianqiang added.

Zhou Jinlan and Hu Qian were in their thirties, already had families, and focused more on their homes. They wouldn't make their future paths difficult just for a little more salary.

"I understand." Qin Yun nodded.

After talking to Zhao Tianqiang for a while, he hung up.

At this moment, Qin Yun's expression was grim, feeling the pressure from Cold Dew Clothing's continuous tactics.

"It seems it's still necessary to build my own professional management team," Qin Yun thought to himself. "Train managers in advance, so that even if an unexpected situation occurs, we can quickly fill in the gap."

As Qin Yun was thinking, time was rapidly passing, and it was soon nine o'clock in the evening.

At this time, Qin Yun had already taken out his phone, occasionally checking the time, waiting minute by minute to pass.

The lottery results were at 9:15.

At 9:13, suddenly, his second sister, Qin Lu, called.

"Yun."

Qin Lu said excitedly, "We got in touch with a highly respected senior professor from the law department at Jinling University. She despises acts of copying and imitation in the fashion industry and is willing to help us."

She spoke excitedly and had been trying to find a way these days, but it hadn't been very effective.

Now, that senior professor at Jinling University should be able to apply some pressure on Cold Dew Clothing Store.

"You should come to the law office tomorrow; the professor wants to meet you."

"Oh?"

Hearing Qin Lu's words, Qin Yun was a bit surprised that the professor from Jinling University would be willing to help them.

But this was definitely a good thing for Qin Yun; it was also a good chance to network.
