The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chapter 174 Shopping and Chance Encounters

Sanlitun was packed with people!

Many young couples from other places visit famous attractions such as the Forbidden City and the Great Wall after arriving in Beijing.

I always want to come to these famous internet-famous streets to check them out.

After Chen An'an arrived here, she became completely unruly.

With her parents around, she can buy whatever she wants.

There are a few Bobo milk tea shops in Sanlitun. Let's start with a red bean milk tea.

Then she would take the milk tea and go buy whatever she liked.

Her taste has finally become a little more normal now, and she can finally buy some everyday useful things after she stopped her retaliatory spending.

It's just that the price is relatively high.

The price ranges from several thousand to hundreds of thousands.

Chen Pingsheng carried the little baby and followed behind the mother and child.

Anyway, he won't comment on what they buy, nor will he offer any sophisticated advice.

Women can go on and on shopping.

Song Yanxi is a bit better; if she likes something, she can just buy it without having to try it on here.

The waitresses in the store clearly liked her the most.

After walking around for two hours, Chen Pingsheng didn't want to leave anymore.

Let's rest outside for a bit.

He glanced around and, sure enough, there were quite a few beautiful women in Sanlitun.

I went out for a stroll and saw tons of beautiful young women vying for attention.

Even more outrageous is that quite a few people go out wearing yoga pants.

Black yoga pants—those who know, know.

The tight fit was so tight that it accentuated even the lines that were normally invisible.

It's quite enjoyable to see other people's wives wearing yoga pants.

If you dressed like that in your own home, you'd be incredibly embarrassed.

Chen An'an sat down next to him and said, "Dad, why do you keep staring at those women wearing yoga pants?"

Hmph... You even noticed that.

Chen Pingsheng denied it, saying, "I didn't see anything. It was clearly those women in yoga pants who were staring at me with interest."

Pah... Her dad is pretty shameless.

Chen An'an pulled out a pair of black yoga pants from her large shopping bag with a smile.

"Dad, I'll buy some too."

Chen Pingsheng stared at her for three seconds. "If you don't want to cry for seven days straight, you'd better not wear it."

"I think it looks great!"

Chen An'an even used her chubby little hands to tug at it from side to side; it was quite elastic.

Isn't this the age when she most enjoys imitating others?

Seeing that many people on the street were wearing them, she bought two pairs to try them out herself.

"Anyway, if you dare to go out dressed like this, I won't hit you, but your allowance will be gone in three months."

Chen An'an's face darkened; her father only knew how to threaten her with pocket money.

But she had no choice but to silently tuck the yoga pants to the very bottom.

Perhaps sensing his unfriendly gaze, a young woman in yoga pants actually came over and reprimanded him.

"You already have a daughter, and you're still staring at women's butts on the street? How can you be so shameless?"

"You expose your butt so that people can see it?"

Chen Pingsheng didn't indulge her.

The young lady is not young, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight.

She's not exactly good-looking, but her figure is alright.

Perhaps that's the point of her wearing yoga pants out in public—to use her greatest assets to attract men's attention.

Then derive some pleasure from exposure.

Of course, if wealthy people come to see her, she will show them off generously.

They even deliberately stretched their hip lines to make them more prominent.

If it's a poor person watching, she'll secretly feel disgusted.

Feeling uncomfortable, yet constantly adding drama to the situation.

The woman's name was Wang Ju, a somewhat rustic name, but she liked to dress deliberately in a sexy way.

"Who are you calling a pervert who showed their ass?"

"Heh..." Chen Pingsheng didn't want to lower himself to the level of this kind of person; there was really no need for it.

"An'an, now you know why Dad doesn't let you wear yoga pants out, right? Look at the kind of people these women who wear yoga pants when they go shopping or hiking. If you want to be like them, you only deserve to spend 100 yuan a month!"

Chen An'an quickly threw her newly bought yoga pants on the ground and spat them out twice.

That's not enough, stomp on it a few more times with your little feet.

Who dares to insult her father?

He hummed twice and then left.

"You old scoundrel, you clearly saw it but you're still feeling guilty. People like that deserve to be poor your whole lives."

"Hmph." The waiter threw the milk tea she had just ordered in front of her, and some of the milk tea spilled onto Wang Ju.

Now it's dripping wet without even needing to look.

"What are you saying? That's our big boss!"

"What are you doing?" Wang Ju asked angrily.

You are not welcome.

The waiter was young and usually mild-mannered, but he would get angry if the boss was scolded.

You should know that the boss treats them extremely well.

The dormitories are all fully furnished with three bedrooms and two living rooms. The salary isn't very high, but it's top-tier in this industry.

The minimum is six or seven thousand.

If you get promoted to store manager, you'll earn 15,000 to 16,000 yuan. Being a store manager here isn't too difficult, as Bobo Milk Tea's expansion speed is incredibly fast.

She's about to become the store manager.

"What kind of service is this? I want a refund."

"Fine, I'll back out."

The girl gave him eight yuan, just wanting to get rid of her as soon as possible.

As Chen Pingsheng left, he felt something was off. Logically, he and An'an had been out for so long; his wife should have come out too. Why was she still inside?
Chen Pingsheng took Chen An'an back to Sanlitun Taikoo Li.

That area is full of trendy luxury brands, and his wife and their big kid love to shop there.

He also asked why Song Yanxi hadn't come out yet, and it turned out she was talking to him about the contestant list.

"Honey, come here quickly."

Song Yanxi held a red and gold Richard Mille watch in her hand and called Chen Pingsheng to try it on.

He was still wearing that Patek Philippe Nautilus on his wrist.

This watch is quite sophisticated, exuding an air of grandeur.

After Song Yanxi took it off for him, she let him try on the Richard Mille watch, which was quite nice.

"Great! This watch looks young and stylish. I see a lot of celebrities wearing them, so I'll take this one!"

Song Yanxi asked the waiter to pack the food, and Chen Pingsheng wore it in his hand for a moment before not taking it off. After all, it was his wife paying, so why not take it?

The official price is 2.56 million.

This price is only considered mid-range within Richard Mille's product line.

Richard's most expensive men's watch is priced at over 20 million.

It's not as beautiful as the one in his hand; it's just that the craftsmanship is more complex, and it's made of sapphire crystal.

"Mom, I want one too."

Chen An'an jumped out and looked at the watch in front of the counter. Wearing such a watch at her age was a bit too extravagant.

However, some of Richard's watches really do look like children's digital watches.

Like that watch with the yellow strap and pinkish-purple dial.

The entire design seems to be made specifically for children.

It does look like a children's digital watch, but the price is surprisingly low.

174 million.

Song Yanxi still swiped her card to buy it for her, and Chen An'an giggled.

She seemed quite happy to be wearing a small toy worth over a million dollars.

This is even more extravagant than a Rolls-Royce's black umbrella.

I rarely go out shopping, but each time I do, I still end up spending tens of millions.

This is just the small profit margin of a single establishment like Shuiyunjian.

She had already calculated that the annual profit of the 25 Shuiyunjian stores in Beijing was roughly between 12 billion and 15 billion yuan.

In addition to the share she received from Tengsheng Fruit, she steadily earns over a billion yuan a year in her own account.

This doesn't even include the companies her husband owns.

With that income, if her daughter wants to wear a watch worth over a million, that's entirely up to her.

As long as she studies a little more diligently, that's fine.

There's no hope for public schools, so let's see how things go with international schools in the second half of the year!

After swiping her card, Song Yanxi didn't want to go home so early.

The family went to sit in the coffee shop inside. It's worth mentioning that in the upscale shopping area, there are very few women wearing yoga pants.

It might happen in TV dramas, but it's extremely rare in reality.

Wealthy people pay a lot of attention to these things.

Unless she's single.

They strolled around for a while longer, and just as they were about to go home, they ran into their younger cousin, Song Shuiqing, who was out shopping with her classmates.

I haven't seen her for a while, and she's become even more beautiful.

If we're just talking about looks, she'd get an 85 out of 100.

"Cousin, brother-in-law, are you out shopping too?"

Song Shuiqing was overjoyed; this was what luck was all about.

She ran into her super rich cousin while shopping with her two best friends. Isn't that just luck?
"Xiao Qing."

"Cousin, did you just arrive or have you already finished shopping?"

Song Yanxi lifted the bags in her hand; there were already more than a dozen of them.

She's already bought everything from watches to Hermès and the latest summer collections from top brands.

They've clearly done their shopping.

Song Shuiqing's two best friends remained silent, sitting quietly beside her. If these bags were carried elsewhere, they would most likely be counterfeit.

If you're carrying these bags in Sanlitun, then they're definitely genuine products.

The contents of these bags must easily be worth millions, right?
We're all from Beijing, who hasn't seen rich people before?
Anyone who can casually spend millions shopping must be at least a billionaire.

She looks quite young.

Song Yanxi smiled and said, "We're all getting ready to go home."

"Well, that's a shame."

Song Shuiqing took her hand and said, "We're planning to go eat at a seafood buffet, cousin, do you want to come with us!"

"That works too, saves me the trouble of going home for dinner."

Song Shuiqing looked at Xiaoxiaoyi in Chen Pingsheng's arms and thought she was especially cute, with her big, bright eyes.

She is indeed very likable when she doesn't poop.

Song Shuiqing hugged her, and Xiaoxinyi giggled, making her too embarrassed to cry.

It wasn't comfortable at all in my dad's arms; it was so hard.

It was much more comfortable in my aunt's arms; they were so soft and I could kick them with my little feet and bounce around.

There is a huge seafood buffet restaurant upstairs.

The average price is over 500 per person, and it was originally supposed to be split equally (AA system).

With her cousin here, she doesn't need to pay the bill.

With a simple swipe of the payment code, thousands of dollars are instantly transferred.

I found a window seat; the view was quite nice.

Chen An'an has a big appetite, but she just bought a new watch today and is taking good care of it.

I know not to get it dirty.

"Cousin, you probably don't know this, but my mom made a lot of money after she started investing in stocks with your mom."

Song Yanxi naturally knew that her mother, Liu Fen, was obsessed with stock trading.

Besides taking care of the kids, all I do every day is look at my phone and trade stocks.

Or they share their stock trading experiences in groups of friends and family.
