The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chapter 186 Dispute over Inheritance
Big fart kid is on vacation for two months.

July was just the beginning, and she was already playing the erhu at the entrance of the alley.

God knows what other crazy things she'll do next.

Chen Pingsheng felt his hair was getting long and was inexplicably worried.

It seems like I need to get it cut.

Chen An'an jumped out from behind him without him noticing.

"Dad, do you want to go get your hair cut together?"

"Okay."

Even if you're not handsome, your hair has to be impeccable.

There's a small barbershop right outside the alley, and I pass by it every day on my way back.

It's been almost twenty years since the shop opened, but Chen An'an doesn't get her hair cut here anymore; she goes to get a high-end haircut.

Well… Chen Pingsheng drove her there; her hair had indeed grown quite long.

There's absolutely no need for the little girl to have such long hair.

It's just a waste of the nutritional value of the bird's nest at home.

Chen An'an spotted a top-notch hair salon in Sanlitun, where she heard that all the stylists were celebrity-level Tonys.

The hype is great, so the price is naturally not low.

The father and daughter set off in their family Bentley and arrived in less than twenty minutes.

Very high-end barbershops are rarely located on the ground floor.

The main feature is an appointment system.

When Chen An'an went in, they greeted her with two "Welcome!" messages and asked if she had made a reservation.

Chen An'an said no.

There wasn't a single customer inside; everyone was just playing on their phones. The staff even told her that they couldn't cut her hair without an appointment.

Chen An'an immediately became unhappy, "Aren't there no customers? Why can't I get a haircut?"

"I'm sorry, we require advance appointments. You can register your phone number here first. Our teacher will be available in about three days."

The receptionist seemed very polite, but her tone was also quite arrogant.

Chen An'an didn't know what they were so proud of, so she grabbed her dad and left.

Are you kidding me? You expect her to wait three days just to get a haircut?
She's at least a little inspirational figure who makes a few cents a second, okay?

There's definitely more than one barbershop around here; there's another one next door with an English name.

It's also quite high-class.

Chen An'an went in, knowing she would get her hair cut soon, and didn't even ask about the price.

Chen Pingsheng sat next to her, still in his American-style side-back cut, which wasn't difficult and didn't require a high-priced haircut.

I just ordered a regular one for 198 yuan.

As for Big Paw, he ordered the highest-priced dish, which cost 2,680.

Tony, a stylish hairstylist standing at 2680 cm, wearing a British-style hat, asked her, "Young lady, what kind of haircut do you want?"

If they are older, they will have a standard design process.

Children under ten years old can be skipped.

Chen An'an thought for a moment, "I want to get a haircut that I can afford."

"Not short of money?"

Isn't this a skit? One sentence completely stunned Tony the hairstylist.

Chen Pingsheng wanted to yell at her again, "Can't you be a little more reliable?"

"How is it unreliable?"

Chen An'an said a lot, but in the end, it all boiled down to cutting it a little shorter.

Just cut off the split ends.

She's definitely not short of money. If she were, she wouldn't have hired someone who spends thousands to cut her hair and clean up those little stray hairs.

After cutting for a while, Tony realized he was done.

I checked the time and found that only five minutes had passed.

It seemed a bit unfair that he was spending the money, so he dawdled for a few more minutes cutting the hair.

In the end, Chen Pingsheng recovered, and so did Da Piwa.

She was very satisfied, but Chen Pingsheng didn't know why she was satisfied; it was as if she hadn't cut it at all.

It cost a lot of money.

The two headed home, and Tony tried to persuade them to get a membership card, but Chen An'an refused.

Cash is king, no matter where you go.

After you get the card, there are many tricks and schemes.

Basically, they just keep getting you to spend money.

Chen An'an shook his slightly curly hair, looking quite pleased with himself.

back home.

Peng Ying and Liu Fen had just finished watering the small vegetable garden on the second floor.

The two middle-aged mothers are busy and happy around this vegetable garden every day.

However, in her spare time, Liu Fen still taught Peng Ying how to trade stocks.

Of course, the stock market is in such a terrible state that you'll lose money no matter what you buy.

They beat the stock market guru of the Liu family so badly he had no chance to fight back.

Seeing the father and daughter return, Liu Fen invited them to have lunch at An'an's maternal grandmother's house.

Song Yanxi's maternal grandfather turned eighty this year, and they were planning a grand 80th birthday celebration, but the old man didn't want to go through too much trouble, so they didn't make it a big deal.

However, the family still needed to go out for a meal, so Song Yanxi drove her LaFerrari back around noon.

In this area, you won't find any kind of car unusual.

She was also carrying two newly bought abalone and bird's nest products, which she intended to give to the elderly.

Liu Fen went with them, leaving Peng Ying and Chen Xinyi at home.

Grandpa An is an old intellectual who suffered a lot in the past and is now very low-key.

My home is an old house located within the Fourth Ring Road. I heard from people in the neighborhood that this area is going to be demolished this year.

They will definitely receive a large sum of compensation for the demolition. At that time, all three daughters and one son, except for Liu Fen, will be incredibly filial.

Liu Fen originally wanted to join in the fun, but her son-in-law's situation meant she was destined to be the first to be eliminated.

According to the eldest sister, Liu Xiu'ai, her son-in-law is so rich, why would he care about this little bit of demolition compensation?
The three sisters unanimously agreed to exclude Liu Fen first.

There's a saying, isn't there?

There are no filial sons at the bedside of a chronically ill patient, but many filial daughters are found at the door of a demolished property.

Liu Fen now looks down on her older sister. Before the demolition news came out, she wouldn't even go home to check on her when she passed by her house. But now that the demolition news is out, she immediately starts fawning over her.

They are incredibly diligent.

Whenever Grandpa An An has a slight cold or cough, she runs faster than a dog.

Whenever there's a minor holiday at home, they take great care of us, showing concern and warmth.

Outsiders who didn't know the situation all thought she was a very filial daughter.

Anyone who lives nearby knows that she's clearly after the demolition compensation money.

Originally, her family was the best among the sisters.

Her son, Han Fei, got involved in a bike-sharing business, and not only did he lose all three of her houses, but he also...

They still owe a mountain of debt.

Even the older ones got divorced.

If she doesn't win this compensation for the demolition, her future will definitely be very difficult.

just.

That's what she thinks, and others think the same way.

The only one who remained unmoved was Liu Fen's younger brother, Liu Aihua.

Since he's the only male in the family, according to Chinese custom, if there's money, it'll definitely be given to him.

What's the point of several women fighting over it?

He's too lazy to even pretend.

Liu Fen secretly grumbled, hoping the old man would be ruthless and not give him any.

That'll infuriate him.

The old man's wife died young, and he has been cared for by a caregiver in her fifties for many years.

They paid for it together, with each of them contributing 1,000 yuan.

The house isn't very big, but the location is alright.

High-end residential areas have already been built nearby, and according to the government's plan, their area is being demolished to build a commercial district.

Demolition and relocation are not uncommon; the key is the location.

Given their location, if their house is demolished, they'll either have to replace it with a few commercial storefronts or receive cash compensation.

If it's a cash payment, given the current housing prices in Beijing, a property in a commercial area would require at least 20 million yuan.

No wonder the eldest sister Liu Xiu'ai is so diligent; money is a powerful motivator.

But even at this critical juncture, Liu Fen's second and third sisters will not give up.

After this commotion, everyone was actually the friendliest towards Liu Fen.

Because she had long since withdrawn from the inheritance dispute.

Grandpa An'an, who is eighty years old, is not in good health and has some difficulty speaking.

Everyone shook hands and smiled warmly, but when it came to Chen An'an, they held onto her hand tightly and wouldn't let go.

I had already heard about their family situation from their children.

From having some money at the beginning, to having a lot of money, to having more than just a little money, to having a lot of money, to having an exceptionally large amount of money.

They're incredibly rich.

This is how their family has gradually changed over the past few years.

Liu Fen was also willing to forgo the demolition compensation, having worked hard all her life to raise her children.

In the end, they all fought tooth and nail over this dilapidated house.

What were the old man's feelings when he passed away?
Chen Pingsheng felt quite sad, but of course, he wouldn't interfere.

These kinds of things happen everywhere, but they mainly occur in cities.

There are actually quite a few rural areas as well.

After having a simple meal there, Song Yanxi gave the gifts she had brought to Grandpa An'an.

On the way home.

She was still lamenting, "Grandpa is probably going to be heartbroken."

"Hmph, it's because your aunt and the others went too far. The day before yesterday, they actually forced the old man to ask for a share of the demolition compensation."

Even after Liu Fen withdrew from the matter, she was still indignant, feeling that if things continued this way, the old man might give the money to the nanny in a fit of anger.

If that happens, the Liu family will become a laughing stock.

"Sigh! Is it really worth it for such a small amount of money?"

Chen An'an also pretended to sigh, "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of you when I grow up."

"Do you expect me to be filial?"

Chen Pingsheng was secretly pleased, but he wouldn't admit it. "With your dad's condition, when he's really in his seventies or eighties, wouldn't it be better to hire dozens of nannies to take care of him?"

"Mom, what are you saying, Dad?"

Chen An'an hummed twice and went off to play by herself, leaning against the back.

Song Yanxi patted her husband, implying that he had said something wrong.

It's a good thing that the young girl is filial, but we shouldn't discourage her like this.

After they arrived home, Liu Fen immediately chatted with Peng Ying about their family situation.

Middle-aged and elderly women love eating this kind of melon, and they chat about it enthusiastically.

However, just two days later, when Liu Fen's joke came true, the entire Liu family was in an uproar.

The old man actually wanted to give 15 million of the 28 million yuan demolition compensation to the nanny who had taken care of him for seven or eight years.

Aunt Liu Xiuai rushed over, grabbed the nanny by the hair, pulled her out, and started making a scene.

Liu Fen's only sister-in-law went even further, running over with a bang and drums, as if she wanted to portray the nanny as utterly wicked.

The family was fighting amongst themselves, but now they don't have to fight anymore; all the conflicts are now focused on the nanny.

Their common goal was to kill her on the ground.

This joke almost made it onto the news in Beijing.

Chen Pingsheng stepped in to suppress the matter, saying that family scandals should not be aired in public, as it would affect his family if it were exposed.

I've lost all face.

How will others view Tencent Pictures, and how will they view Boiling Sheep and Bobo Milk Tea, which are about to go public?

This kind of scandal must be suppressed no matter what.

Originally, it had nothing to do with him, but it escalated to this point, forcing him to get involved.

No matter what, he was Chen An'an's maternal grandfather and his wife's maternal grandfather.

Whether it's family matters, public affairs, or world affairs, it really can't be separated from the word "wealth."
