The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

A homeless beggar wearing a hat blocked the entrance of the Worry-Free Restaurant.

Then, pointing to Chen An'an, he said, "That's her."

His three-year-old brother was hospitalized for some unknown reason and was later diagnosed with a serious illness.

The beggar didn't think about anything. He just remembered that he had been eating the food that Chen An'an brought him for the past month, and that his younger brother's illness must have been caused by her.

This kind of thing is hard to explain.

Just like those bakeries that would rather throw away bread than give it to the elderly outside.

This is exactly what I'm afraid of.

It's hard to say exactly when it started, but Chinese people gradually became indifferent, or even dared not extend a helping hand to do good deeds.

Perhaps we should start by asking why we helped someone up when it wasn't our fault.

The beggar's sudden change of heart made Chen An'an so angry that her little body trembled incessantly.

She argued her case forcefully, even calling the pickpocket an ingrate.

Many stall owners from the urban village also came and criticized the beggar.

According to him, since everyone has given him food, if he gets into trouble again in the future, then they will all have to take responsibility.
The beggar simply couldn't afford the medical expenses to save his three-year-old brother.

Hospitals are places to save lives, provided you can afford to pay enough for medical expenses.

No matter what others say, he sticks to his own beliefs.

Since I'm eating your food, you're naturally responsible if I get sick.

Chen Pingsheng had no intention of showing up, and this wasn't the first time Chen An'an had encountered this situation.

She once helped an old lady who had fallen in Beijing, and then that family sued her.

This kind of thing is common; she just doesn't learn her lesson.

Now that they've met again, Uncle Hat certainly won't arrest her without a reason.

After all, it's easy to distinguish right from wrong in this kind of situation, but right now there's a three-year-old child in the hospital who urgently needs treatment.

This kind of thing is inherently difficult to handle, and most people would be entangled in trouble if they encountered it.

Chen An'an is no exception now.

Money was really a small matter to her; she just couldn't understand why people would come to her door and yell at her when she was doing something good.

She was only ten years old, so Uncle Hat naturally wouldn't look for her.

In the end, they found Chen Pingsheng, the father, and then that was the end of it.

The wind was still a bit warm at night.

Chen An'an was almost in tears, but Jiang Peiyao kept comforting her.

Her father didn't say anything, and no one knows how he handled it in the end.

Anyway, Uncle Hat left immediately after finding him.

There was no further response, and the little beggar boy continued to live in his garbage room.

The next morning, many stall owners from the urban village came to comfort him.

They kept muttering that good deeds shouldn't be done.

Chen An'an could also sense some righteous indignation in their words, which made her feel a little better.

And everyone promised that they would never encounter that little beggar with three hands again.

I will never give him another bite to eat; I'd rather feed him to a dog than give him any more.

If we all run a restaurant business and encounter people like that, no one's business will last long.

Chen An'an went to ask her father if she had done something wrong.

Chen Pingsheng did not answer her directly, but simply told her a short story.

There was once a renowned philanthropist who donated all of his millions of dollars to charity.

The local authorities also awarded him numerous medals as encouragement.

This kind man was very happy and often boasted about his good deeds.

until one day.

After a large group of people blocked his house, they were holding some awards for outstanding workers issued by the government.

Everyone was coming to him asking for donations. As one, two, or three days passed, more and more people came to him asking for donations.

The kind man's elderly mother was at home when she was driven to her death.

He himself was publicly denounced by countless people in newspapers as hypocritical and unwilling to help those in need.

There was no further news of that kind man.

It is said that after his mother died, he left the place where he was born and raised in despair.

Just like what she's doing now, there's no right or wrong in it.

Having good intentions is a good thing, but these good intentions must be based on absolute means.

Just like himself, employees within Tencent Pictures say he is a good boss.

His competitors and even those in the capital market would constantly criticize him as an ambitious capitalist.

Cold-blooded and ruthless animals.

That's just how he is; he either doesn't make a move, or when he does, he beats the person so badly they can never recover.

Big-Pee Kid only has kindness but no means of protecting himself, which is clearly far from enough.

She needs to be aware of this.

This is also what her father hoped she would learn.

"Brother-in-law, how come you can tell so many stories?"

Jiang Peiyao, like a diligent student listening attentively in class, sat to the side, blinking her beautiful eyes as she asked.

"This is not a story; it actually happened in real life."

"That's not as good as what you said."

"It's alright. An'an is only ten years old. It's too early for her to experience all this. But now that Tengying Group has grown to this size, people with ulterior motives will not only set their sights on me, but also on her. I just hope she can grow up quickly!"

Education is not a matter of a day or two; it requires constantly experiencing various setbacks.

This cultivates a steadfast heart.

Jiang Peiyao asked curiously, "Brother-in-law, why do I feel like you've changed?"

Where has it changed?

"You've become so unpredictable that I can't understand you anymore."

Jiang Peiyao asked, confused, "An'an is ten years old this year, and Xinyi is only four. And with the one who hasn't been born yet, will you be setting a good example for her in the future, just like you did today?"

"Of course. Tengying has developed to this stage now, and there are plenty of talented people around. They can handle the company's affairs, but only I, as the father, can do education. No teacher can replace me."

Chen Pingsheng said, "You're just too young. Once you find someone and get married, you'll definitely understand all of this. For parents, nothing is more important than their children."

Jiang Peiyao doesn't want to find a partner; if she's going to find one, she wants someone like her brother-in-law.

As for where to find a brother-in-law like that, it's so difficult.

There's nothing she can find, so she might as well just go and wipe the table.

When Chen An'an gets angry, she likes to grab the microphone and yell a few times.

Then, she managed to keep all the customers out of the shop.

People who originally wanted to come in immediately turned around and went to the next room after hearing her versatile singing voice.

Other people sing to attract wealth, but her singing clearly drives people away.

The kind of audience you have to pay to see.

The urban village is still the same urban village, but the incident involving the beggar has had some impact on their business.

Fortunately, they don't make money from this, so it doesn't matter to them.

As for that beggar, he still relies on begging to make a living, and if he wants to improve his life, he has to steal other people's things.

This time, no one showed mercy; they reported it to the authorities immediately.

The police were also troubled by him, mainly because he was too young and his parents were nowhere to be found.

Even if such a person grows up, they will basically lead a pitiful life.

Perhaps the greatest significance of his life was teaching Chen An'an a lesson. (End of Chapter)
