The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chapter 161 The Big Turmoil After Returning to the Village
I wasted an afternoon at Meishu Jin Island.

It's mainly used for buying and taking possession of a house.

The house was just bought, and although it's fully renovated, we still need to hire someone to clean it.

Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to go home, so I can stay here for a couple more days.

They hired a few cleaning ladies to tidy up the house. They plan to go to Tianjin that night to take a cruise around the city.

Boating on the lake.

Chen An'an stood at the bow of the boat with her hands behind her back. After confirming that her father was not in such a bad mood, she faced the evening breeze and suddenly felt inspired.

Under the city's neon lights, it is dazzling and eye-catching.

Everyone living in this city has their own unique story.

Perhaps most people are just like you were back then.

I leave early and return late every day, just to have a small home in this city.

There is a small place that is like a safe haven.

A gentle breeze blew by, and Chen An'an said, "Ah~ the rolling south waters flow north."

They weren't the only family on the large ship; there were many other tourists as well.

Chubby Chen An'an, wearing small sunglasses, stood in front of him pretending to be something he'd never seen before.

It also attracted a lot of attention.

Chen Pingsheng criticized her: "Can't you be quiet for a second?"

Chen An'an ignored her father: "Dad, you have to support me. Even though my grades are bad, who knows, I might become a poet when I grow up?"

"You still want to be a poet?"

Chen Pingsheng didn't believe a word of it: "Is your next sentence going to be something like, 'Waaah, Yangtze River, oh Yangtze River'?"

"Uh... how did you know?"

Chen An'an suspects that her father plagiarized her masterpiece.

"Because I'm your dad."

Chen Pingsheng told her to come in and sit down obediently to look at the river view.

"Dad, can we buy a boat that's even bigger than this?"

"Of course you can."

"Shall we go buy one?"

Chen Pingsheng gave her a big slap in the face, saying, "Let's talk about it when you can pass the exam."

Chen An'an sat quietly to the side without saying a word.

"Brother, Tianjin is so beautiful!"

Chen Qi stretched out one hand to feel the evening breeze on the lake.

"You think it's beautiful because you're free from the pressures of life and can quietly enjoy the tranquility of life here."

After making a remark, Mr. Chen asked her, "By the way, when are you going to find a boyfriend? You're already twenty-three. When your sister-in-law was your age, An'an could already cook fried rice by herself."

"Brother, you're urging me again."

Chen Qi found him even more annoying than her parents. "I haven't met the right person yet. Maybe we'll get married soon when fate brings us together."

"Girls should get married earlier, so they don't become old maids after 25."

"Pingsheng, don't rush Xiaoqi anymore. I think people in the city aren't in a hurry to get married these days."

His older sister came out and advised him, "In the old days, someone would be twenty-three and still not have a girlfriend."

That used to be a laughing stock in the whole village, but now it seems to be getting more and more normal.

"Don't compare yourself to those city girls. If you keep picking and choosing, you'll end up as a spinster."

Chen Pingsheng himself got married early, so he didn't want his younger sister to get married too late.

By the time a woman reaches thirty, childbirth becomes very difficult.

Chen An'an cleverly ran up to Aunt Pei Yao and asked, "Dad, Aunt Pei Yao doesn't have a boyfriend either, why don't you try to persuade her?"

"Your Aunt Peiyao is only nineteen, what's the rush?"

With Jiang Peiyao's looks, she could easily find a partner anywhere.

With Chen Qi's qualifications, she would have a lot of suitors coming to her door.

Men need to have certain conditions before they can find beautiful women.

When women have the means, they all date younger men.

The kind that costs several tens of dollars.

No matter how beautiful Tianjin is, they still want to go home.

After staying here for two days, I also spent one night at my newly bought Lakeside Villa.

Next stop: Texas.

Perhaps the most famous things about Texas Hold'em are poker and Texas Hold'em chicken.

The family spent the day here, and then took a Coaster bus to their next destination.

Starting from point 1, it wasn't until point 7 that we approached Wangcai Village.

……

Wangcai Village.

Unlike the hustle and bustle of the city.

My rural hometown is quiet and peaceful, like Old Wang's shop at the village entrance.

There are always several tables of mahjong players here, fiercely battling it out.

The wins and losses weren't significant, and everyone was practically playing mahjong until they were practically scratching the tiles.

"Self-draw, all of one suit".

Old Wang's young wife, heavily pregnant, laughed exaggeratedly.

This is a big shot!

The other three families all looked at her askance.

He secretly thought to himself, "Pregnant women have such good luck; how many hands has this happened already?"

Just then, two luxury cars pulled up outside the convenience store.

Leading the way was a black BMW X5, followed closely by a BMW X6.

The villagers are very familiar with these two vehicles.

Those belong to the parents of Chen Pingsheng, the richest man in Wangcai Village.

Old Wang from the village was very polite; he went over and lit a cigarette.

"Jianjun, what are you buying?"

"I'm not buying anything. My son and daughter are back, so I came here specifically to wait for them."

"Chen Pingsheng is back?"

Old Wang was slightly taken aback, then immediately shouted inside, "Our village's richest man is back! Everyone, get ready!"

"Chen Pingsheng is back?"

"Yes, didn't you see that their parents are here?"

"Oh, this is great news!"

"Stop hitting them, Lao Wang, give me a few strings of firecrackers." "Haha, I'll have a few strings too, and while you're at it, give me the biggest box of sky rockets as well."

Old Wang's young wife has stopped playing cards and is helping the villagers lay firecrackers on the road.

We're just waiting for that car to arrive, and the whole village will hear the commotion.

However, she only married into the family this year, and the name she hears most often is Chen Pingsheng.

The richest man in Wangcai Village, a renowned and virtuous man.

Last year when I came back, I held a three-day banquet and even distributed money to the whole village.

No matter who you are, you can get money just by going there.

They also donated 10 million to build a school and provide 2 million in scholarships every year.

When such an important person returns to the village, the village chief will announce it to the entire village via loudspeaker.

Oh, I remember now.

Last year, the incompetent village chief Jiang Dewang was ousted with just a few words from him.

The position of village chief has been vacant for almost half a year.

"Fellow villagers, Chen Pingsheng is back! Come quickly to Old Wang's house at the village entrance."

One pass ten, ten pass a hundred.

Old Wang's house was quickly surrounded by people.

No matter who you are, when you come here, you should first buy a few strings of red firecrackers and then lay them out on both sides of the road.

Once the car from over there arrives, it's guaranteed to blow up Old Chen's house right from the village entrance.

The main appeal is the lively atmosphere with many people.

The Coaster has arrived.

There were two more Alfa Romeos in front and behind.

"What's going on? How did we end up on a minibus?"

"Look at your poor eyesight. This is a special car that only high-ranking officials can ride in."

"My goodness, are those two cars clearing the way?"

"This is what you call extravagance. Didn't you see that they specially used a big truck to transport two luxury cars back a few days ago?"

"I've heard that these two from Old Man Chen's family are quite prominent in Beijing."

"That's a bit of an exaggeration, but it's true that they're definitely getting richer and richer."

Inside the Coaster bus, just as we approached to park.

Countless villagers have already lit the large firecrackers laid out on the road.

Well... now it's not easy to stop even if you want to.

We could only drive forward slowly.

Chen An'an immediately opened the curtains and laughed heartily, "Dad, are they welcoming me?"

"Welcome home to fry cow dung."

Chen Qi chuckled: "They're welcoming your dad back to the village. Chen An'an, you're really lucky to have been born into such a good family."

Chen An'an grinned foolishly: "Auntie, you've also found a good brother."

Jiang Peiyao also sat on the side watching, feeling a deep sense of warmth upon arriving in her hometown.

Looking at how the villagers welcomed him, perhaps this is the meaning behind my cousin-in-law's hard work in earning money outside.

Not only her, but even the eldest sister Chen Yao had many feelings to share.

Before going to the capital, she was just an ordinary member of Shacheng.

Busy with life every day.

Even after going to the capital, life remained quite ordinary.

But they can earn over two million a year without any worries.

They're living a very good life and even own a prime shop.

This was naturally bought by her brother and given to her.

And look at this grand procession for their return home; it's truly a ten-mile-long procession of red bridal attire.

It was all covered with red firecrackers.

The whole way was filled with the sounds of gongs and drums, as everyone welcomed their legend and benefactor in their own way.

The Coaster only came to a slow stop right in front of the house.

His big house was rebuilt a long time ago at a cost of over three million.

The largest villa in the village, and they were extremely hospitable.

After getting out of the car, Chen Pingsheng shook hands with each of the elderly villagers, and then said, "Thank you all for your welcome."

"To express my personal gratitude, in a couple of days, anyone in the village who is over seventy years old can come and receive 10,000 yuan in cash, and anyone over fifty years old will receive 5,000 yuan."

Nothing is more straightforward and simple than giving money directly.

Many wealthy tycoons do this when they return to their villages.

Thinking about it carefully, he really did make a lot of money in 14.

Taking out a few million to distribute is really harmless.

Taking care of the elderly is a pretty good blessing.

It was said that it would be in a couple of days, and the next day Song Yanxi went to the town bank with her entourage and directly made an appointment to withdraw eight million yuan in cash.

Not only the elderly are rich, but children under ten years old also receive large red envelopes.

The banquet will not be held this year.

More than eight million yuan was just piled up at the doorstep, and several people were responsible for registering and distributing the money there.

No need to check age, just look like an old guy.

Just give your name, everyone in the village knows each other.

"This is really lively."

Chen Qi stood at her doorstep and sighed.

She doesn't need to build a house now. Her brother's house is so big, one more person won't make a difference.

A rural villa built at a cost of over three million yuan must have a very nice environment.

Today I have a small goal: to send out all eight million.

Although there are quite a few elderly people in Wangcai Village, there are only three or four hundred in total, and even with children, the total number is no more than a thousand.

That's almost 10,000 per person.

There's a saying that goes, "When you're poor, you should focus on maintaining your own integrity."

He believes that the wealthy should help others, but he is not yet ready to do so.

Helping the elderly and children in my hometown is no problem.

Once the eight million was distributed, the hottest topic in the whole village was Chen Pingsheng returning home and distributing money right at his doorstep.

That's firmly holding the top spot on the village's gossip list.

Whether it's during a casual chat or a moment of leisure, people sit under the old locust tree at the village entrance.

These are all the hottest topics.
