Chapter 77 Preparations
```
Qin Hao transferred the spare amount of five million four hundred and fifty thousand to his own bank card.
The sum of over one hundred and twenty million was too large; transferring it all to his card might draw attention.
Although the funds were clean, it still could put him on someone's radar.
Five million or so wasn't considered too much.
In Jiangshan City, there were far too many people with that kind of money to count, so it wouldn't attract any undue attention.
He planned to invest this money into the roasted duck restaurant to expand the scale of Jiangshan Roasted Duck Restaurant.
After finishing lunch.
Qin Hao went to the roasted duck restaurant and called Fatty and Yu Jie to the second-floor office.
"If we were to apply for a loan, about how much could we get?" Qin Hao asked Kang Youyi and Yu Jie.
Kang Youyi began, "Hao, I've looked into bank loans, and they will appraise the value of our storefront.
They will also consider our store's monthly turnover."
Yu Jie said, "Currently, our daily turnover is around thirty to forty thousand, which should reach about a million this month.
We could probably secure a loan of around two to three million. However, before that, we should apply to set up a company."
Qin Hao nodded slightly, "Fatty, I'll leave this matter to you. Name the company Jiangshan Roasted Duck Food Co., Ltd, and secure as much of a loan as we can."
"Mm-hmm, alright, Hao," Fatty nodded excitedly.
After speaking, he asked, "Hao, are you planning to expand?"
Experience more tales on empire
Qin Hao nodded slightly again, "Correct. Remember to scout for new roasted duck restaurant locations and report back to me.
Starting today, let's hire a batch of new staff, enough to support two stores."
Upon hearing this, Yu Jie felt some excitement. Employees like her who had been with the company for a while were usually promoted when the company expanded.
She was currently in control of the restaurant's finances and stood a great chance of becoming the financial director if she did well in the future.
Qin Hao calling her over indicated satisfaction with her work; she needed only keep up with her capabilities.
She could definitely hope to become the financial director eventually.
...
After giving instructions, Qin Hao let them get back to work, and he went downstairs to take a look around.
He stayed there all afternoon, and after five-thirty, the tricycles at the roasted duck restaurant started rolling out.
In about ten minutes.
Qin Hao told the Fatty at the restaurant, "I'm heading back first; call me if anything comes up. Make sure to handle things quickly."
"Mm-hmm, sure, Hao."
After leaving the roasted duck restaurant, Qin Hao didn't go home but hailed a cab and headed down Yonghe Street instead.
He wasn't planning to go home but intended to covertly observe the staff selling roasted ducks on the streets.
Since the restaurant was expanding, some of these people would be promoted.
Therefore, he needed to see their work attitude.
The first place he arrived at was Zhao Hongyu's roasted duck stall, which attracted a crowd as soon as the tricycle arrived.
Qin Hao watched inside the car for a good six or seven minutes and then moved on to the next location.
By the time he got home, it was almost seven o'clock.
Li Shujie had dinner ready and was waiting for him.
During dinner, Li Shujie asked, "Xiao Hao, which university did you put down for your preference today?"
"Jianghai University."
Li Shujie looked at him and said, "Regardless of where you go, make sure you do well, Xiao Hao, and do us proud."
Qin Hao smiled and replied, "Mm-hmm, I know, Mom. You won't have to work anymore in the future; your son will support you."

Qin Youguo: "We're still young, no need for you to take care of us, and we have our pensions after retirement."
...
After dinner
Qin Hao returned to his room, he lay on his bed with his mind full of a staggeringly high number of zeros.
Just then, his phone rang; it was a message from Du Wanrou: "How come you were discharged? The doctor said your injuries were severe."
A smile appeared on Qin Hao's face as his fingers danced across the screen: "It's nothing, just minor injuries. Don't listen to the doctor like that, they actually just want us to spend more money."
Du Wanrou asked worriedly, "Are you really okay? But that day your head was bleeding, and your body was covered in bruises."
Qin Hao: "I'm fine now, don't worry. How did you know I was discharged?"
Du Wanrou replied, "Today Mr. Lin took me to the hospital, the doctor said you were discharged, so I went back home."
Qin Hao was somewhat concerned: "You should stay indoors for the next few days, or else the bad guys might target you again."
"I know."
After responding, Du Wanrou hesitated before asking again, "Qin Hao, what is your relationship with Li Bao?"
Qin Hao was taken aback by her message—she knew Li Bao? "Friends."
Du Wanrou: "Do you think I'm stupid? He's in his twenties and he calls you Hao. Does that sound like just friends to you?
Why did you lie to me? Are you really a bad guy?"
Qin Hao hadn't expected Du Wanrou to know about this; he didn't know how to explain.
Du Wanrou continued to press, "Are you Li Bao's boss?"
Qin Hao knew he had to make things clear: "In the past, I fought with him, then he lost.
He acknowledged me as his superior. As for being a bad guy, do I look like one to you?
I, the national college entrance examination top scorer, with a promising future, would I do something to ruin my own prospects?
What he does has nothing to do with me, and I do not condone his misdeeds either."
Du Wanrou: "Really?"
Qin Hao: "Even by thinking with your toes, you should know it's true. Do you think a national college entrance examination top scorer would do something so low?"
After some thought, Du Wanrou answered, "I don't think so, either."
Qin Hao cautiously asked, "Do your uncle and aunt have any misunderstandings about me?"
Du Wanrou didn't hide the truth from him, "My dad thinks you are closely related to Li Bao; he thinks you're not a good person."
Qin Hao suddenly realized why Du Wanrou's parents disliked him—it was because of Li Bao.
This was something he never expected.
He replied with a smile, "It doesn't matter, as long as you believe in me, that's enough."
Blushing at his words, Du Wanrou retorted, "What nonsense, what's this about me believing being enough."
Qin Hao shamelessly said, "Because you are the one I love, as long as you believe in me, even if the whole world doesn't, it wouldn't matter."
Du Wanrou's cheeks turned crimson, feeling slightly feverish, she remembered Qin Hao's figure from the day before.
A faint sweetness lingered in the depths of her heart.
"I'm not talking to you anymore."
After replying, Du Wanrou quickly covered her head with a blanket.
Seeing her reply, Qin Hao's face was covered with smiles; he felt Du Wanrou might also have feelings for him.
As long as he persisted a little longer, there was a good chance for them.
But thinking of Du Wanrou's parents, he calmed down again.
They were Du Wanrou's parents; if they firmly opposed, could there be any hope for the two of them?
