The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

From east to west, north to south, and center, go to Guangdong to make your fortune.

This is a well-known proverb from the 1990s.

Guangdong has so many famous things, whether it's TV dramas or other shows.

They rarely film wealthy people or big bosses from Guangdong.

Because the wealthy people here are known for being low-key.

Flip-flops, white tank top, and boxer shorts.

Can you believe it? This is the standard setup for a big shot in Guangdong.

As for the places where people from Guangdong like to eat, they are hard to find even with navigation.

They are often hidden deep in the mountains and forests, and the people here love to drink tea.

Guangdong is famous for its prosperity, and so are its migrant workers.

Various electronics factories and garment factories often employ thousands or even tens of thousands of people.

Perhaps one of these stories is familiar to you.

Chen Pingsheng came to Guangdong, not for work, but simply because his brother had found a girlfriend he was planning to marry.

She's not very old, and not particularly pretty.

It's probably because he's seen too many beautiful women, whether it's Jiang Peiyao or Shen Wanning.

Among her peers, she is outstanding in both talent and appearance.

Not to mention that he often sits down with Yang Mi and Liu Yifei for meals and tea.

There's no doubt that a woman can make it big in the entertainment industry.

If she were among ordinary people, she would definitely be considered a fairy.

Gao Hu is a master at seducing flight attendants; he can win over a flight attendant almost every time he takes a flight.

Now that I want to get married, I don't even consider flight attendants anymore.

Instead, he met his current girlfriend by chance.

The process of the chance encounter is actually quite simple.

He happened to be passing by and bought a pair of shoes from a young woman who was setting up a stall after get off work.

And that's how we met.

Chen Pingsheng listened to him for half an hour before he could roughly understand the whole process.

His girlfriend's name is Xiao Chun.

She works as a production worker in a large shoe factory, and she also occasionally takes some shoes out of the factory at cost price to sell at a stall.

She's a very hardworking and ambitious girl.

As for Gao Hu, in her eyes he was still just a chef in Boiling Sheep.

They earned a little over ten thousand yuan a month, and the two dated for two months under these circumstances.

"Old Chen, I didn't expect you to come."

Gao Hu said excitedly, "Today is their payday, and she's going to treat me to dinner later."

Guangdong is very prosperous, but this prosperity is definitely not just for factory beauties and factory girls.

It is only when it is aimed at the truly wealthy that its uniqueness is revealed.

"You old sparrow from the restaurant, are you going to keep pretending like this forever?"

"There's no need to pretend. You can take a look for me later. If you, Old Chen, think she's suitable, then I'll definitely come clean with her and marry her without hesitation."

If the CEO of a listed company doesn't have a prenuptial agreement, the other party can really get half of the assets in a divorce.

Gao Hu seems quite serious about it.

After the two ate something casually, Chen Pingsheng prepared to go with him to find Xiao Chundan.

Gao Hu even specially prepared a small Yadea electric scooter for him. After all these years, he still has the day to ride a small electric scooter.

Also no one.

"Old Chen, don't feel wronged. You know I'm really serious this time."

"Alright, what's there to be upset about? Nothing is more important than your life's most important event."

Chen Pingsheng asked him to lead the way; his current identity was also a chef in the movie "Boy Sheep".

I hadn't ridden a small electric scooter in so long that I was stopped by the traffic police. They fined me 50 yuan for not wearing a helmet.

What a bad start! It's been so long since I've been stopped by the traffic police.

Chen Pingsheng obediently paid the fine and then received a reprimand before leaving.

When big companies pay salaries, the business of nearby barbershops and night market stalls skyrockets.

Normally, I can only eat fried rice noodles and egg fried rice.

At times like this, it's time for a hot pot, beer, and barbecue.

There's also a small food street outside the factory, not too messy or chaotic.

It is specifically designed to serve factory workers like them.

Guangdong is renowned for its foreign trade, and its clothing wholesale industry is the number one in the country.

Of course, fake watches are also included.

Check out Rolex watches in Zhanxi.

When it was time to leave work, a swarm of factory girls in blue uniforms came out of the gate.

They're all young people.

Countless people have squandered their youth in factories like this.

Xiao Chun is as simple as her name suggests; she really is quite simple.

She had long, straight, jet-black hair tied in a high ponytail, and a pretty oval face.

"Lao Gao."

Xiao Chun always liked to call Gao Hu "Old Gao".

Even from a great distance, she likes to jump on him.

Perhaps this is how young girls express their love.

Anyway, Chen Pingsheng looked quite embarrassed.

“Simple, this is my brother Chen Pingsheng. You should get to know him.”

Xiao Chun quickly jumped off her. It was clear that Gao Hu really liked this girl.

Xiao Chun smiled and said, "Hello, big brother. I got paid six thousand yuan today. I'll treat you to dinner." "Sure."

The three of them found an outdoor table on the small food street outside.

When Chen Pingsheng saw that they had barely washed the pot after cooking, his eyelids twitched slightly.

You wouldn't believe it, but now he's doing it whether he's eating or exercising.

They are all very particular.

Your health is the foundation of everything.

It's obvious that Xiao Chun and the others don't care about these things.

It's simply that they don't have the means to care.

Xiao Chun handed her a greasy menu, then called her cousin to invite her to join them for dinner.

Chen Pingsheng casually ordered two dishes, both of which were very inexpensive.

Gao Hu also ordered one, but Xiao Chun flipped through the menu a couple of times and still ordered her favorite sauerkraut fish.

Gao Hu kicked Chen Pingsheng, signaling to him what to do.

Chen Pingsheng couldn't comment; they'd only known each other for a short time.

Zhao Yimin, along with four members of the security affairs team, came with him.

It's nearby.

Honestly, he's not used to eating at places like this anymore.

There were crowds of people shouting loudly all around.

There's also beer, and all sorts of national treasures like "fuck your mother."

There was no disdain involved; it was simply that he himself was no longer comfortable in this kind of setting.

He rarely comes to Guangdong, and he doesn't even own two cars.

Send a message to Zhao Yimin and ask him to pick up two Rolls-Royce Phantoms.

The first consideration when picking up the car has unknowingly become the Grand Phantom.

Xiao Chun's cousin also came. Her cousin was somewhat educated and worked as an accountant in the factory.

Xiao Chun was introduced to her by her cousin.

Her cousin's boyfriend is a rich second-generation heir who drives a BMW.

They have a high-class attitude; when you come to eat at a place like this, your dislike is written all over your face.

Chen Pingsheng didn't even bother to greet him.

Only that idiot Gao Hu is still pretending to be a master chef.

Xiao Chun was quite embarrassed. She was the one who paid for dinner, but her cousin's boyfriend came and looked unhappy. Anyone who pays for dinner understands this feeling.

My cousin comforted me, saying, "He's just simple-minded. You don't need to worry about him. That's just how he is."

"Oh." Xiao Chun ate her food by herself and introduced Chen Pingsheng to her cousin's boyfriend.

Chen Pingsheng nodded politely.

In return, they were met with indifference.

Chen Pingsheng asked Chun Chan, "Chun Chan, take a closer look at your boyfriend. What would you do if he were the founder and president of a listed company?"

"Uh~" Xiao Chun was stunned for a long time; she had never thought about this question before.

How can a chef be the founder of a listed company?
Before she could even speak, her cousin's boyfriend interrupted, "Friend, that's not how you joke around. Do you think the boss of a listed company is some kind of cabbage? Would he sit in a place like this?"

Chen Pingsheng ignored him. Sometimes, when looking at a woman, there's no need to investigate or know much about her.

You can tell just by looking at her eyes.

Xiao Chun is truly innocent.

Gao Hu really did find a good girl like this.

Perhaps that's why she was able to get Gao Hu to message her and invite her to come over.

Psychologically speaking, when Gao Hu sent him that message, what he most hoped to receive was a word of affirmation from a brother.

He'd dated so many flight attendants, but he'd never mentioned them once, let alone summoned them all the way from Beijing.

"I'm not asking you."

In a very simple sentence, he didn't give his cousin's boyfriend any face at all.

Chen Pingsheng didn't touch his chopsticks; he just stared intently at Xiao Chun.

Xiao Chun tilted her head and said, "Even if Lao Gao were the founder of a listed company, he wouldn't have taken a liking to me. I'm so ordinary, just a small factory girl."

"He shouldn't have lied to you; you are indeed quite naive."

Chen Pingsheng waved his hand, and Zhao Yimin, along with several members of the security team, immediately came over and said, "Boss."

"Go and buy her a three-bedroom apartment in downtown Guangzhou, put it directly in her name, and also get her a Bentley Continental. While you're at it, arrange for her parents to come to Guangzhou."

Chen Pingsheng stood up and said, "Miss, I don't want to lie to you, because there's no need. Your boyfriend is indeed the founder of a listed company, and he's also my best brother. If you don't mind, I'd like to invite you to my house for a casual meal."

Gao Hu was actually quite happy; he just didn't know how to bring it up with Xiao Chun.

Now that Chen Pingsheng has come over and revealed his identity, it means he acknowledges the girl.

What could be more important than the approval of your brothers?

Xiao Chun was the only one whose brain was completely shut down; she couldn't even process what was happening.

Then Shen Chengjun, the president of Tenghui Department Store, arrived in a Mercedes-Benz S600, along with three Brabus V-Class vehicles.

The people nearby were stunned.

Chen Pingsheng sincerely invited Xiao Chun to visit his home.

His wife bought the Dayi Villa, located at the foot of Baiyun Mountain, which is one of the top ten luxury residences in Asia.

His wife hired five nannies inside.

Some are mowing the lawn, others are trimming the flowers.

This massive, cube-shaped villa, costing 200 million yuan, is the true way to experience the vibrant city of Guangzhou.

Chen Pingsheng explained, "I'm sorry, this house was bought by my wife. This is my first time living here myself, so I don't know much about it."

Both Xiao Chun and her cousin are now speechless.

As for her cousin's snobbish boyfriend, he couldn't even utter a word.

Pushing open the gate, the first thing you see in this mountain-style villa is a huge swimming pool.
