The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

October 1st is National Day.

The family, driving their Volkswagen, officially embarked on their first shopping trip as a middle-class family.

Because it was a major holiday, their family also set aside 5,000 yuan of their daily cash for this event's consumption and shopping.

This time, instead of going to large shopping malls, we explored smaller shopping streets with a more down-to-earth atmosphere.

The biggest advantage of this kind of place is that it's crowded and lively, and things are a bit cheaper.

Those who come here are usually people who want to save money.

The biggest downside is that you have to haggle when buying things, and the prices in these stores are completely inflated.

If I sell you something that costs 30 for 300, and you can't bring yourself to haggle...

The shop owner is all smiles all day long.

Big kids had this experience when they were little, but little girls couldn't.

From birth, she would point to anything she wanted with her little hand.

No matter how many zeros are in the product description, her parents will definitely buy it for her.

Who told her to be the little princess of the family?

After hearing about this novel way of shopping, my little bottom was brimming with energy.

Finally, it's her turn to shine as a little genius. Watch me slaughter those small shop owners until they're on the verge of tears.

After a month in kindergarten, her prodigy qualities are completely undeniable.

I like to show off in everything I do, and today was no exception.

Shopping festivals like these in Shanghai are usually held underground, and the storefronts are very small.

The shop was packed full of clothes, and the shop owner would cover the clothes with a piece of cloth when people tried them on.

Those young girls didn't mind; they were willing to accept this condition if they wanted to buy cheap clothes.

Erpiya came over aggressively, found a children's clothing store, and went inside with her hands behind her back.

What I buy isn't important; the most important thing is to make the shopkeepers cry and let them know how formidable I, Xiao Er Ya, am.

"Boss, how much are these overalls?"

"These pants, little sister, you have good taste. They're the same style as those in a major department store in Shanghai, and the price isn't high, only 180."

"so cheap?"

Er Yatou scratched her head. The other party hadn't even quoted a price, so should she still try to bargain?
"Yes, it's very cheap."

"Okay, I'll take this one."

Chen An'an slapped her. She had come with such a confident attitude, but now she was acting like a fool.

"Boss, we don't want it."

"No, 180 won't do, 150 will do."

Finally, it was settled at thirty yuan.

Chen An'an then took her younger sister to the next store; the little one was clearly inexperienced.

Having gotten used to expensive things, everything seems cheap now.

She bought things all the way, but in the end she couldn't bring herself to haggle.

It seems I still have to adapt gradually.

When they went out, Chen Pingsheng took them to a small restaurant for a meal.

I ordered three baskets of small steamed buns and several bowls of soy milk.

"Dad, shall we go see a movie later?"

"It's all fine."

They produce half of the movies on the market, and sometimes seeing those familiar faces can be quite jarring.

Not to mention TV dramas, especially the female-led dramas that have become very popular in recent years.

Most of the roles were played by either Yang Mi or Zhao Liying, and both of them became incredibly popular.

However, just as they finished eating and were about to leave, the other customers in the restaurant all looked out.

outside the store.

There was a single mother, holding her child who was not even two years old, kneeling every three steps as she tried to kneel all the way from here to the Peace Hotel.

Judging from her attire, she is clearly a country woman.

He was wearing a very old-fashioned floral cloth outfit.

Fine beads of sweat kept streaming down his face.

Passersby flocked to watch the spectacle, and even Chen An'an rushed over immediately.

A mother with her child, who was not even two years old, actually knelt down every three steps on the side of the road.

This looks rather strange no matter how you look at it.

Some people took out their phones and filmed the scene, which led them to learn the reason behind it.

It turns out that this woman had been married for less than three years, and the little girl she gave birth to had a congenital defect and a strange disease.

The family's meager savings were all used to treat her illness, which extended her life to the age of two.

To cure her illness, it will cost at least several hundred thousand more.

The woman's persistence became too much for the child's father to bear.

They were just an ordinary family in the countryside, earning a meager living by working the land from dawn till dusk. Add to that a daughter with a congenital defect, and it would be impossible for anyone to persevere for long.

The power of maternal love is still strong; this woman tried everything she could.

In the end, I still wanted to raise the funds by posting online.

To everyone's surprise, the results were terrible; no one donated money to her daughter at all.

Later, a netizen named "The Third Prince of Shanghai" gave her hope and encouraged her to come to Shanghai.

He would kneel and bow three times and then prostrate himself once on this road to the Peace Hotel before donating 30,000 yuan to her.

The woman took the train to Shanghai the next day.

Whether it's a coincidence or not, this road also passes by Tencent Group, Xinteng Live, and the headquarters of Shuiyunjian.

It passes by all three of his headquarters.

The woman had been kneeling for hours; her physical exhaustion was no match for her daughter's will to live.

No matter how great the difficulties, she would grit her teeth and persevere; that is motherly love.

Erpiya was stunned. Was it really worth pushing someone to this extent for just a few hundred thousand?
To be honest, she was born into a wealthy family and doesn't know the hardships of ordinary life.

"Get up quickly." Chen An'an went to help her up, but the mother refused to get up.

For her, this was her only hope for her daughter to live, and she was more determined than anyone else.

Perhaps her story was too touching, because the two little ones at home refused to go to the movies.

We followed it all the way, hoping to reach the famous Peace Hotel in Shanghai.

As they went, the number of people following them kept increasing.

The short video on the internet was also gaining traction, and another hour or so passed.

The mother finally arrived.

Countless reporters were interviewing her with their cameras and microphones, and countless netizens were waiting for the "Third Young Master of Shanghai" to appear.

To everyone's surprise, he simply said, "I was just joking. Only a fool would take it seriously."

This immediately ignited a firestorm of public opinion online.

What era are we living in? It's too easy for ordinary netizens to dig him up.

Unless it's the kind of thing that can mobilize administrative power.

Even Chen An'an quickly used her family's resources to thoroughly investigate this third young master of Shanghai.

A massive wave of cyberbullying swept in.

This young master from Shanghai has also been subjected to endless online ridicule.

It turns out he was just an ordinary office worker, not a rich second-generation at all, much less the wealthy family he claimed to be.

The power of the internet is too great; with a single blow, this young master from Shanghai was fired from his job.

In the end, they even started cursing his entire family.

Countless people applauded.

In contrast, the mother received two million yuan in donations from all sectors of society immediately after becoming famous.

Half of it was provided on the spot by Tengying Group, which was also Dapiwa's idea.

With this money, not only could she cure her daughter, but she could also save enough money to support her daughter through university.

This is the most unpredictable thing in life.

Chen An'an thought she had done another great thing, and by the way, she had also used the power of Tengying Group to quickly investigate the three young masters of Shanghai.

To everyone's surprise, less than two days later, the incident took an unexpected and dramatic turn.

It turns out that all of this was planned in advance by that young master from Shanghai.

He was just an ordinary person who had to work overtime day and night just to make ends meet.

He doesn't have the financial means to help people.

But after reading the mother's story, he hesitated for a long time before contacting her in advance.

Then he told her that if she wanted the money to save her daughter, she had to do as he said.

He even taught the mother in advance what to say when facing reporters, making sure she spoke each word clearly.

Then they devised this charity project that ignited public opinion.

Because he works in Shanghai, he knows very well which companies in Shanghai have the best reputation.

Therefore, the kneeling route was specially arranged to be on the only road that Tengying Group could pass through.

The mother and daughter received their life-saving money, but the young man's backlash came in full force.

It was this mother who couldn't bear to see this kind-hearted man suffer so much because of her.

In the end, he revealed the truth back home, leaving countless people speechless.

Even Chen An'an herself was dumbfounded.

In fact, she is the biggest force driving cyberbullying.

I thought I had done a great thing, but who knew that someone would actually get involved and invite everyone in the world to join the game.

Just to give a single mother hope, perhaps this is the kindness of ordinary people.

Even though they can't afford the money themselves, they will use their own resources to help others get the life-saving money they need.
