Urban God-level Youth

Liu Yun: "I plan to apply to Jianghai Normal University in Jianghai City. What about you? Going to Jinhua or Chen University?"

Qin Hao smiled and replied, "I'm thinking about Jianghai University."

"What? Why not Jinhua or Chen University? Those are the top institutions in Xuan Country," Liu Yun looked at him, somewhat puzzled.

But for some reason, hearing his words, she felt a bit happy. Could it be because they would both be in the same city in the future?

Qin Hao replied, "Jianghai University isn't that far behind those two, it just has a bigger reputation. Jianghai City is also closer to home, and the air is nicer there. The smog in Jinchen is too serious."

"Xiao Hao, Xiao Yun, why have you come out? Come back in and eat, the dishes aren't even all on the table yet. Why did you leave?" Qin Youguo came out from the hotel and spoke to them.

"Dad, we're already full," Qin Hao said, not daring to go back. He was afraid Mr. Liu would bring up their matter again.

Qin Youguo said irritably, "The guests are still eating, what do you mean by coming out here? Come back with me."

Liu Yun said softly, "Qin Hao, let's just go back, shall we?"

"Alright."

The two returned to the dinner table at the hotel, and as soon as Qin Hao sat down, he smelled a familiar scent.

Seeing the shiny, golden roasted duck in the middle of the table, his face faltered, "Jiangshan Roasted Duck?"

"Xiao Hao, you know about Jiangshan Roasted Duck too? Let me tell you, this duck is really delicious, it's simply a delicacy of the world, try it quickly." Liu Shengguang unceremoniously grabbed a duck leg and started eating.

The others at the table also knew the taste of Jiangshan Roasted Duck, and within a few short minutes, a whole duck was swiftly divided up amongst them.

Qin Hao and Liu Yun weren't as quick, and they only managed to get a piece each.

Liu Shengguang asked Qin Hao, "When's your birthday, Xiao Hao?"

"June 21st. Why do you ask, Uncle Liu?" Qin Hao replied curiously.

Liu Shengguang said with a smile, "My daughter Xiao Yun's is August 26th. You're two months older than her, so you'll be the older brother. If my daughter ever needs help, you, as her brother, should help, understand?"

Qin Hao sighed in relief when he heard him, "Don't worry, Uncle Liu. Even just considering the relationship between you and my dad, I couldn't stand by idly if Xiao Yun needed help."

The celebration banquet for the school ended later than planned, and it was not until 1:30 am that people gradually left.

Liu Shengguang was the last to leave. After exchanging a few words with Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin, he took Liu Yun and left.

Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin roughly estimated the gift money to be around seventy or eighty thousand yuan, which surprised them both immensely.

Most of this money was from the bar owners on Anchang Street and Yonghe Street.

Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin were curious about how their son could know so many wealthy friends. Could it be that they saw potential in my son?

After all, as the national exam top scorer, his potential was limitless. Whether in politics or business, he could make a significant impact.

Even becoming a high-end, top-tier technology talent was not out of the question.

Of course, all of this was filled with uncertainties, and Qin Hao could also fade into obscurity like everyone else. Nobody could be sure about the future.

After returning home from the hotel, Mr. Qin received a phone call from the deputy director of the car manufacturing factory.

Huang Wencai had been taken away for investigation, He An had been removed from his position, and this deputy director, named Wang Hui, was naturally set to move up with Huang Wencai's departure.

Laughing, Wang Hui said to Qin Youguo, "I know your work capabilities, Old Qin, and so do the higher-ups. So you will continue to be the factory manager, in charge of car manufacturing."

He An removed, Huang Wencai under investigation? When Qin Youguo heard this news, he looked taken aback.

It must have been the words Li Shujie said yesterday, Mr. Li must have heard them and then gave them a face.

Qin Youguo quickly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you very much, Director Wang."

Wang Hui: "Old Qin, you're too polite. I had a lot to do today and couldn't come over. I've sent you the gift money through Weixun. Don't be upset about it."

Qin Youguo: "Director Wang, that's very kind of you."

"No problem, no problem, just remember to come to work tomorrow. I've got to go, so I'm hanging up now." After speaking, Wang Hui hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, a smile appeared on Qin Youguo's face.

Li Shujie had also heard the content of the phone call and said with a smile, "You didn't let me mention it yesterday, see? If I hadn't said anything, would you be able to go back now?"

"Mom and Dad, I have to step out for a bit," Qin Hao said to his parents.

Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin nodded and cautioned, "Remember to come back early."

"Got it, Mom."

Qin Hao left home and headed to the roast duck restaurant. In just over ten minutes, he arrived inside the restaurant.

It was around two-thirty in the afternoon, and the business at the roast duck restaurant had already slowed down significantly. Most people were busy cleaning ducks at the back.

Upon entering the roast duck restaurant, Qin Hao noticed that the decor was completely renewed, completely different from before, looking clean and tidy.

There was not a trace of greasiness, and the fragrance of roast duck always permeated the restaurant.

Even when not actually roasting ducks, the aroma had become deeply ingrained.

Yu Jie was no longer collecting money at the restaurant. The task of handling cash and giving change had been handed over to the staff selling roast duck.

She now worked in a small, independent cabin on the first floor, which served as the new financial office.

Kang Youyi was sitting at the front desk. Seeing Qin Hao come in, he greeted him with a smile, "Is Hao finished with his busy schedule?"

Qin Hao nodded, "Take me to the financial office to take a look."

Led by Kang Youyi, Qin Hao entered the financial office, where Yu Jie was typing away at the keyboard.

The business of the roast duck restaurant was getting better and better. Without a computer, keeping records in a notebook was becoming cumbersome and unclear.

Seeing Qin Hao arrive, Yu Jie hurriedly stood up and said, "Boss."

"Hmm, can you manage the work on your own? Do we need to hire another person?" Qin Hao asked.

Yu Jie quickly replied, "There's no need, boss. The current workload isn't too much."

Qin Hao said, "Add my chat software account, and starting next month, send me a performance report for the roast duck restaurant every half a month."

Yu Jie nodded, "Okay, boss. And congratulations on becoming the top scorer in the national unified examination."

"How do you guys know about this news?"

He hadn't told anyone about his unified examination scores. Logically, people like Bao shouldn't know.

Bao said with a smile, "Hao, do you remember Xu Liang? He told Bao and me about it, and then they found out."

Qin Hao said, "Oh, Xiao Jie, continue your work. I'm going to check out the back."

Yu Jie nodded, her eyes filled with admiration as she looked at him. Having gone through the unified examination herself, she knew how difficult it was.

For her boss to have scored the highest in the country was a huge shock to her.

No wonder the boss could create something as delicious as Jiangshan Roasted Duck; maybe this was the difference between a genius and an ordinary person?

Qin Hao then went to the back to check on things. There were quite a few staff members at the roast duck restaurant now, and they were all familiar faces.

He recognized people like Liu Pengyu, Zhao Hongyu, Chen Da, and Yu Chengcai.

They were cleaning ducks, getting ready for the evening roast. Upon seeing Qin Hao enter, they all hurriedly greeted him respectfully, "Boss."

Finally, Qin Hao and Kang Youyi went upstairs. He wanted to hear Bao's report.

Of course, he also wanted to know what was going on with Jiangshan Roasted Duck at Heshun Hotel.
