The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Little Pipi has been called cute since she was little.

She can be called a little silly, but she won't allow anyone to say she's not cute.

Even my favorite older sister is not allowed.

Chen An'an, that rascal, not only does he like to fool around, but he also likes to make his sister cry all the time.

Absolutely abominable.

Song Yanxi called her to the second floor, and the little girl hugged her mother's leg and cried.

She immediately stopped crying as soon as her older sister arrived. If she continued crying, her sister would definitely not play with her anymore.

"Chen An'an, why did you make your sister cry again?"

"She's the one who cries, how can she blame me?"

Chen An'an glared fiercely at the little girl, and she was terrified.

"She's just too thin-skinned and gets praised by everyone around her so much that she loses all self-awareness. She thinks she's the prettiest little cutie all the time, but she's just as ordinary as her dad."

"You're kidding me. If your dad heard you say that, he'd yell at you again."

Chen An'an didn't care; she was about to have her summer vacation, and the next semester would be her fifth grade.

After finishing fifth grade, you'll be in sixth grade, and after sixth grade, your childhood will be over.

The little brat cries occasionally, but after crying, she has to go and hug her older sister's leg.

I hope she can take me along to play.

"Mom, I heard Dad say that you're going to send my little sister to one of those regular kindergartens?"

"It's all your fault."

Song Yanxi snorted twice, "Look at your tuition of over a million a year, has your grade improved? At the beginning of the year you were 25th, and at the end of the year you rose to 23rd because two students left the class. Your dad doesn't want your sister to stay out of the mainstream."

Okay... She still wanted to try to get help for her little girl, but it seems like that's not going to work now. Most of the ordinary schools are exam-oriented.

In those schools, if your grades are good, you're barely okay; if your grades are bad, the teachers won't even bother with you.

Everything is for the sake of the exam.

"Mom, you need to think long-term. Although my grades haven't improved, I excel in every other area. None of my classmates disobey me."

"Yes, you're good at everything except academics, including weight."

Song Yanxi sighed helplessly, "Let's see when you start thinking about losing weight."

"Why would I want to lose weight? My dad says it's because I feel safe."

Song Yanxi was speechless. The little brat kept coming up with one trick after another, and she didn't know how to refute her.

After watching her for too long, I got a headache and sent her downstairs to play by myself.

Tomorrow is her fourth-grade graduation ceremony, and Song Yanxi, with her big belly, definitely won't be able to attend.

Only her father could accompany her.

When Chen An'an went downstairs, she asked her sister if she was fat.

The little girl kept shaking her head; she wasn't fat at all, she was quite slender.

Chen An'an was very satisfied. As expected, the younger sister she raised was the one who liked to tell the truth the most.

She didn't say that last time, and then she beat me until I cried.

This time she behaved herself.

Aside from being a little older, Chen An'an hasn't changed much.

They'll still practice their mantis boxing style, and all the usual silly antics will be performed.

Her younger sister used to wet her pants, so she came up with a brilliant little solution.

She got rid of her bad habit in three days.

Wear your pants inside out.

The following day, Chen An'an faced her last day of fourth grade.

The school also organized a special class activity and invited many parents to participate.

Chen Pingsheng was inside. Before they knew it, the little rascal had graduated from fourth grade and would soon be in fifth grade.

By the time Tengying Town and Tengying Ecological Community are fully completed, it will probably be around the time she graduates from elementary school.

Time really flies when you think about it.

This year, the main performers in the class were still her, Xiao Zi, and Xiao Mi. The three of them became inseparable best friends, and Chen Pingsheng also got to know their parents.

After the event ends, there is a two-month summer vacation, according to the usual situation for parents.

This period is when you should arrange all sorts of learning activities for your child.

This is what is commonly known as tutoring.

Chen An'an doesn't need it; her father never arranges extra tutoring activities for her.

If you can't learn well during class time, you can't expect to learn well after class.

However, this summer vacation, Chen Pingsheng still arranged an educational activity with special significance.

That is returning to farming.

It's not about going back to the countryside to return to farming; it's about staying directly in Shanghai.

He bought a large farm in Jinshan, and the people living nearby, apart from a few local residents, were all there.

Most of the tenants are from outside the area, and there are all sorts of people there.

Many of them are unable to afford rent in downtown Shanghai and have to commute one or two hours every day.

As for the local residents here, they are said to be from Shanghai who can't wait for the demolition and relocation, so they are basically from rural areas.

Ordinary people may not know that more than 80% of urban residents do not become rich through their own abilities.

Instead, they relied solely on the old houses left behind by their families, which meant they were being relocated.

In a place like Shanghai, it's perfectly normal to dissect characters like "Palamera" and "Nana".

He doesn't draw characters on his phone; he just drives around all day on a small Yadea motorcycle.

As his child grows up, Chen Pingsheng needs to spend more time nurturing and educating him.

Compared to the relatively homogeneous population of rural areas, these urban villages are clearly more like the mundane world.

In rural areas today, besides the elderly, there are basically only left-behind children.

It is far less complicated than the urban villages in big cities.

Little Pipiya will be starting kindergarten soon, and Chen An'an will be in fifth grade.

If we don't let them experience the real world, they might easily go astray when they grow up.

Chen An'an was dumbfounded. This was completely different from her expectations for summer vacation. She had planned to travel the world on her family's superyacht this summer.

Then surely the whole world should be going on a buying spree, right?

What's going on now? Her dad took her to the kind of rental apartment she lived in when she was a child.

There was no huge swimming pool or air-freighted food; all there was was a Volkswagen Phaeton with its badge removed.

There was a two-story building, but the rooms didn't have an underwater world or a super comfortable open-air balcony.

"Dad, are you bankrupt?"

Chen An'an posed her profound question, while Chen Xinyi was completely bewildered.

She still feels like she's back in her own mansion, and can go back to her villa tonight.

Chen Pingsheng shook his head, "No, I just wanted you to experience the real mundane world and see how people here live."

"Dad, can't we experience the same things in a villa? Do we really need to stay in this kind of old-fashioned rental house?"

"necessary."

Chen Pingsheng said, "Chen An'an, I'm warning you, your dad is serious this time. Either you go back and I'll hire some tutors for you, teaching you ten hours a day, or you stay here and live quietly for two months."

study?

What a joke.

Chen An'an can endure any hardship except studying.

She doesn't have bodyguards on call 24/7 or a nanny; with her strong adaptability, she'll definitely be fine.

Her sister, however, is completely different.

She has never suffered a single day of hardship since childhood; the greatest hardship she has ever endured was basically from taking expensive Chinese medicine.

Such a house was simply unbearable for her.
