The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chapter 118 I was fooled and crippled

Chen Pingsheng drove to find his wife for dinner.

The situation at the Shuiyun Academy headquarters is rather unique.

Because the beauticians trained there either take off their tops or their lower bodies when they are being trained on techniques.

It's very inconvenient for men to be inside.

Therefore, men are explicitly prohibited from entering the academy.

Even the security guards at the gate are women.

From the cafeteria staff to the cleaning ladies, everyone inside was a woman.

Later, nearly a thousand high school graduates will come here to study, so the management is quite strict.

The simplest rule is that if you start dating during your studies, you can just go home with your bag.

Other people's parents entrust these young girls, who are just coming of age, to his academy, certainly not so that they can fall in love.

He didn't set the rules according to the standards for training students in schools.

Instead, the rules are set according to the standards for corporate training interns, which are completely different levels.

Students can have more freedom, while interns receive a monthly salary of three thousand during their learning period.

Teachers are all paid high salaries, so they're not here to date.

Besides, at an age of less than eighteen, dating is simply irresponsible towards one's own life.

In Guangdong, many families with relatively good financial conditions undergo premarital checkups.

Once it's discovered that you've had an abortion, even if you grow up to be a fairy, it's all over.

Some are even stricter; if you fail the first time, they'll send you straight home.

Those kinds of families don't lack good daughters-in-law at all.

Therefore, if a woman wants to marry well in the future, she absolutely cannot mess around during her adolescence.

Song Yanxi works there every day, and Shuiyunjian is actually quite profitable.

Each store generates at least two to three million in profit per month, with some reaching five to six million.

Unfortunately, his magic touch couldn't calculate such profits.

You can only calculate large incomes for one day; otherwise, you could shake your phone every day.

That would be so awesome.

But that's alright, we can just hold a grand celebration at the end of the year and everything will come back to us.

The five Shuiyunjian stores that are currently open bring in more than ten million yuan in net income for the family each month.

It smells delicious too.

Song Yanxi's LaFerrari was parked in its designated parking space at the school gate, next to her sister's Porsche 911 and several teachers' Mercedes-Benz and BMWs.

It was still hot in July; if I hadn't been sitting in the car with the air conditioning on, I would have been sweating buckets.

Song Yanxi wore a charming blue fitted shirt, which looked quite nice.

"Why are you here?"

"Mom." Chen An'an jumped out of the car, still dragging her newly bought bag, and giggled.

Song Yanxi glanced at her but didn't even ask what was going on.

"I'm here to invite you to dinner. I just got back from Sanlitun, and this afternoon I'm planning to take her hiking at Baicaopan."

"You're so free today?"

"No matter how busy you are, you should spend more time with your children."

There used to be many shops outside the school, but after the school closed, those students left and the shops couldn't stay open anymore.

Chen Pingsheng glanced at it and said, "Turning this place into a food street would be a good idea."

Song Yanxi shook her head: "Forget it, instead of wasting your time, you might as well let your older sister open a small supermarket inside."

Running a small supermarket inside a school can easily earn you several hundred thousand yuan a year.

They no longer need to earn this kind of money, so giving it to the eldest sister is quite good.

“That’s fine. You can call your older sister and ask her to come over here. Your brother-in-law can stay at the Shijingshan place by himself. Men are still not allowed to come in here.”

Song Yanxi nodded. There was still more than a month before the start of school. Opening a small supermarket would not only make it easier for her older sister to earn money, but also provide convenience for the interns inside.

The family found a traditional Beijing-style hot pot restaurant nearby.

Song Yanxi originally wanted to go hiking with them in the afternoon, but unfortunately she had something to do and couldn't get away.

There were several meetings to attend in the afternoon. Chen Pingsheng had no choice but to take the two little ones and Chen Qi hiking by himself.

His younger sister worked odd jobs at Shuiyunjian; she went wherever she was needed.

There's not much going on usually.

"Brother, now that your wife can take over here, are you feeling much more relaxed?"

"What's so easy about it? We still have to make money."

Chen Pingsheng noticed she was wearing a tracksuit and asked curiously, "You're not getting any younger, have you found someone suitable lately?"

"Brother, why are you still concerned about this kind of thing?"

"You're so young and already financially independent. If I don't pay attention to your marriage prospects, I'm afraid you'll get scammed."

Chen Qi has truly achieved financial freedom. With his 25% stake in the store in Shijingshan, he steadily earns over ten million yuan a year.

He still owns three houses that he bought in full, one of which is located within the Second Ring Road.

These conditions are already enough for a young, wealthy woman.

If you don't want to put in the effort to find her, it's not just about skipping ten years of hard work; it's about not having to work at all.

"Brother, I don't meet many men here, so it's hard to find one even if I wanted to."

"How about I introduce you to someone?"

"Then forget it."

Chen Qi refused without hesitation, saying, "I've already relied on you to solve my earning problems. If I have to rely on you to solve my wedding as well, I'll feel like I'm a complete waste."

Chen Pingsheng actually knew quite a few talented young people.

The entertainment industry is definitely out of the question; that circle is a mess, and even after marriage, most people just go their separate ways.

The husband has an affair, while the wife seeks out younger men or investors.

That's perfectly normal.

"Then you'd better keep your eyes open and not let anyone fool you."

"I wouldn't be that stupid."

Chen Qi happily dragged Chen An'an to a mountain climbing competition.

Chen An'an also said that her victory was unfair and that she should be given a leg.

Chen Qi wouldn't tolerate her; the chubby girl was out of breath after just a few steps.

It's obvious that they lack exercise.

"An'an, why don't you sign up for a martial arts class? It'll help you realize your dream of becoming a female knight-errant when you grow up."

Chen An'an's eyes lit up. "Auntie, this looks alright."

"Of course it will work. If our An'an learns martial arts for a year, she'll be able to take on several strong men like chickens in the future."

Chen An'an's eyes sparkled.

It's obvious they've been completely fooled.

Chen Qi clearly thought she was too fat and lacked exercise.

It's okay for a child to be a little chubby at such a young age, but what if they're still this chubby when they grow up?

Then you'll have to ask your dad to prepare a bigger dowry for you.

"Auntie, can I really become a peerless master if I study for a year?"

"Of course it will work. As long as our An'an is willing to work hard, she can learn anything better than others."

Chen An'an laughed heartily, as if he was already fantasizing about his life as a peerless master a year from now.

Chen Pingsheng also thought it would be good for her to learn some martial arts.

It's rare that she herself has this awareness; there are actually quite a few kids who started learning martial arts in elementary school.

The main areas of study are Taekwondo and Chinese martial arts.

Chen Pingsheng enrolled her in a Chinese martial arts school, which offered classes not only during the summer vacation but also on Saturdays and Sundays.

Now it's mainly summer classes.

Chen An'an, harboring a dream of becoming a female knight-errant, was full of enthusiasm when she stepped inside, but things changed when the teacher actually started teaching.

She was actually studying very seriously, which was a bit of a surprise.

He thought he was going to waste his tuition fees again.
