The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chapter 153 Chen An'an's Short Essay

Tong Zhelan's advice to everyone was to get rid of the debt as soon as possible.

Chen Pingsheng thought about it for a while but couldn't find that he had any debts.

The houses his family bought in 13 are now worth around 3.5 million yuan.

This does not include the current courtyard house.

Prices are still rising, so there's no rush to sell them. The main issue is that housing prices are rising too fast.

Old Li is selling off assets worth hundreds of billions, so it's perfectly normal for him to do so a little earlier than expected.

His hundreds of millions are not something he needs to touch for the time being.

When it reaches 500 or 600 million, I'll decisively sell it and invest in commercial real estate in first-tier cities.

Thinking about it this way, there's no need to rush at all.

As for his plans for next year, they seem to be quite correct so far.

The majority of funds will be invested in commercial real estate.

He used the large shopping mall to support his own business assets.

The CEO training course has been discussing Li Keqiang's withdrawal of investment and Wang Yanfeng's Xiongmao live streaming platform for the past three days.

Many of his classmates were eager to invest, but he naturally had no interest whatsoever.

His only major task this year is the grand event at Shuiyun Pavilion at the end of the year.

Nothing else matters.

back home.

Surprisingly, I didn't see the little brat practicing her praying mantis punch downstairs.

I went upstairs to call her and found out that this brat had even written a short essay about his day as CEO.

Originally, her essay was basically written for the dog to read.

Try imitating the opening of her previous essays.

Ah, the sun is quite strong today.

Ugh~ Have you hung your clothes out to dry yet?
Oh, I haven't hung my clothes out to dry yet. How about yours?
Ugh~ I haven't dried my clothes either.

That's all bullshit.

If her family had a relative like the literary master Jia Moumou.

I reckon this could be considered prose.

That's not even the most outrageous part; the most outrageous part is yet to come.

The title of the essay assigned by the teacher: My Mother.

Ah, my mother.

Ugh~ She's not going to take me to school today.

Oh, my mother.

Ugh~ She's not coming to pick me up from school again today.

Oh my god, Mom!

Ugh~ She sent me my allowance of 200,000 yuan for next month in advance.

Even the teacher didn't know how to grade her.

In the end, considering the 200,000 yuan allowance, he generously gave her a zero.

I wonder where Big Fart Kid learned this essay from.

In short, it's a long story.

However, she shocked the whole class with her essay today, "A Day in the Life of a Little CEO".

This is how it begins.

My dad takes me to work on my beloved little motorcycle.

He turned the chair around and asked me if I wanted to be a boss.

I said I wanted to.

Dad agreed.

And so I became one.

My dad's company is quite large, and two older women happened to come over.

I saw that she knew Mantis Boxing, so I rewarded her with 50,000 yuan.

She sings even worse than me, that's so cool! Dad can never say I sing badly again!

I gave her another 100,000 yuan as a reward.

Later I asked my dad if this is how a junior CEO is run.

He said yes, and even praised me for having the talent of a CEO.

I said, "Dad, does becoming a CEO mean you can make people do whatever you want?"

He said yes.

I told him, "Dad, please help me finish my homework."

And then... I cried.

I don't know why I was beaten. It was clearly my dad who said that the little CEO could do whatever he wanted.

To verify my little idea.

I brought dozens of large bills in my bag. Whoever applauds the loudest later, I'll give them the money.

Goodness... the two eight-year-old boys below actually managed to project the image of a self-help guru.

The applause was so loud it even surprised the teacher.

Chen An'an kept her word and promptly gave him five hundred yuan.

Then, this short essay became the best in the whole class.

Wahaha! ...

The silly little kid is looking at outfits for a little CEO online.

A pink hat is too childish.

The little leather shoes hurt my feet.

I hope the buttons on my skirt and blouse don't pop off because I've eaten too much.

"An'an, what are you doing?"

"Dad." After jumping down, Chen An'an pulled him downstairs. She had already bought several things.

A super cool little black cape.

And a magic hat, plus a pair of super large aviator sunglasses.

After she was fully dressed, Chen Pingsheng unconsciously pinched his nose and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Dad, do I look like a little CEO now?"

"The president definitely doesn't seem like it; it's more like you're going crazy."

"You two get ready, we're going to my mom's for dinner tonight."

Song Yanxi walked over carrying a small bag, and Chen Pingsheng told the big kid to recover quickly.

"What's going on? It's not a holiday or birthday, why would your mom invite us out to dinner?"

Ever since Han Fei jumped off the building, Aunt Liu Xiu'ai has been acting like she's gone mad.

They would complain about their family to everyone they met, which caused a significant decrease in contact between relatives.

Liu Fen hadn't been here for quite a while. "My sister landed a big role in a drama, playing the second female lead, so she wanted to invite us over for a meal to celebrate."

"Oh, I see."

He thought something serious had happened, but it was definitely something to celebrate.

His sister-in-law has been out of school for almost two years and has been working as an extra ever since.

She either plays a little beggar or a maid who dies in one episode.

For her, the entertainment industry was a dark and hopeless place.

Being able to play the second female lead now is a significant improvement.

Chen Pingsheng drove his own Brabus G-Class, even though the whole family was going.

It's big enough, and the view is wide enough.

Liu Fen's family no longer lives in their old small house; they have moved into a new 200-square-meter home.

The four-bedroom, two-living-room layout is much larger, making it more comfortable to live in.

Song Wu has now had her edges smoothed out by society and is no longer the same as before.

Getting a supporting role in a low-budget web series can make me happy for days.

He even cooked a meal himself and invited the family over for a get-together.

"Sister, brother-in-law, please have a seat."

It's quite strange; he used to berate his sister-in-law like that, but now he's suddenly become nice.

It wasn't exactly sudden; things have been changing for the past two years.

That's why society is the best whetstone.

"Xiao Wu, you've finally landed a decent role."

"Sis, that's because I was a minor extra for him three or four times. He only gave me the opportunity because he saw how serious I was."

Song Wu was smiling quite happily.

Song Yanxi was still holding Chen Xinyi, but she was quickly taken away by her grandmother Liu Fen.

"The little one is really chubby and fair-skinned. You don't bring her to see me often."

Liu Fen is a pretty realistic person, but most people are like that; when you're incompetent, she'll find all sorts of ways to mock you.

Once she becomes capable, she'll be able to please you in every way possible.

At her age, she doesn't really have many ideas anymore.

If my daughter is happy and I can take my little granddaughter around every day, the day will pass by quickly.

Song Yanxi: "Mom, we haven't moved. If you want to go, it's just a matter of stepping on the gas."

Liu Fen: "It's all because of your aunt's side. She's really strange. When her son wanted to get involved in that shared bike business, I went to her house several times and couldn't stop him no matter what. Now that her son is jumping off a building, it's all our family's fault."

"Never mind her. By the way, has Han Fei paid off all his debts?"

"Can I not pay it back?"

Liu Fen said, "These are all loans from these relatives. If she doesn't pay them back, she won't have a single day of peace."

Song Yanxi thought about it and agreed: "Have they sold all three of her houses?"

"Sold it, and lived comfortably for decades. But because Han Fei started a bike-sharing business, his family was thrown into chaos, and now his eldest daughter-in-law is determined to get a divorce."

My aunt Liu Xiu'ai's family was originally quite well-off in Beijing.

Three large houses within the Second Ring Road, what more could you want?
Now that the house is gone, the eldest daughter-in-law is also going to file for divorce.

Husbands and wives are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they will still share joys and sorrows.

It's better to just think about it.

That eldest daughter-in-law is really something else; even now, she's still clamoring for a share of the money.

They took the children away without giving them any money, so they would never see them again.

Liu Fen also sighed with emotion, recalling when her family was well-off.

The eldest daughter-in-law was incredibly obedient, but now that things have changed, she immediately wants a divorce.

Realistic people are often easily defeated by reality.

Liu Fen doesn't have many thoughts on this now, since everyone has their own family responsibilities after starting their own families.

The fact that she lent Liu Xiu'ai 200,000 yuan at this time was already considered extremely kind and generous.

There are two women in the family.

The eldest daughter's life is perfect now, and the younger daughter seems to be making progress as well.

A broad mind leads to a healthy body.

Song Wu called from inside the kitchen, "Sister, please sit a little longer, the food will be ready soon."

Chen Pingsheng took Chen An'an to the living room to wait, as she didn't really like watching TV anymore.

With a big tablet in hand, what's inconvenient about watching anything?

After the dishes were prepared and served, Song Wu kept talking about her role as the second female lead.

Although she's still playing a villain, her screen time has increased significantly.

If you have the opportunity to appear in front of an audience, then you will eventually have your day.

Surprisingly, she's quite optimistic now.

Chen Pingsheng didn't comment, but Song Yanxi thought it was a good opportunity.

Opportunities earned through one's own efforts are always cherished.

Her sister's family, Tengying, has already developed into one of the top film and television companies in the entertainment industry.

Song Wu was quite happy that Shui Yunjian was doing so well in the capital and that she could be happy for this small opportunity.

I feel a sense of accomplishment.

When they got home, Chen An'an was still shaking her head and sighing.

As Chen Pingsheng drove, he looked at her curiously and said, "Why are you sighing at such a young age?"

"Dad, Auntie will never scold you again."

"Isn't that great?"

"kindness."

Big-Faced Kid has a lot on his mind, but he's too lazy to guess what's going on.

After returning home, Chen Xinyi was in good spirits and insisted on going out to play for a while longer.

She has relatively few forms of entertainment; she mostly just sits on her little bed, playing with this and watching that.

He would occasionally chuckle.

Children's world is so simple: they eat when they're hungry.

She eats and then sleeps, and when she wakes up, she cries and wants you to take her out for a walk.

After walking around the park, I can sleep soundly until dawn.

I measured her again a few days later, and she had grown a tiny bit more.

Time flies, and it's already the end of November.

Zhao Liying chose a fantasy drama with a strong female lead for Bai Lu.

Chen Pingsheng used his "golden finger" to check the investment of 60 million yuan in Tengying and found that the return on investment was not high, only about 150%.

Earning 30 million in a year is quite an achievement for a drama that promotes newcomers.

Once he's spent all that money, Teng Ying will basically be idle on Xianyu (a second-hand marketplace app) for a while longer.
