The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

"Dad, can someone become a teacher without a degree?"

Ever since Erpiya discovered she was a child prodigy, she has become incredibly arrogant.

Not only did she dare to run into her sister's room, but she also stood with her hands on her hips, laughing wildly with a mischievous air about her.

She could even stand with her hands behind her back in front of her mother, confidently requesting protection.

Because her sister wanted to hit her.

He even slaps his little teddy bear at the drop of a hat.

Who told you to glare at me?

The reasons are all bizarre and varied.

Anyway, she's now universally disliked, only she herself doesn't realize it.

Now you actually dare to question him as your father? There's a reason why your sister likes to hit you.

"Of course you can't be a teacher without a degree, but you can become a professor like your dad."

Erpiya scratched her head. "Isn't the professor even more capable than the teacher?"

Why can't she understand this logic?

Chen Pingsheng ignored her; at three and a half years old, she was talkative and mischievous.

Even her pet teddy bear would wag its tail and run away at the sight of her now.

I was afraid that if I ran too slowly I would get hit twice more.

His wife has been busy expanding Shuiyunjian lately, so she comes home quite late every day.

It was around six o'clock, just in time for dinner.

Even during mealtime, Erpiya wouldn't stop talking, recounting the shocked look in her teacher's eyes when she recited poems in kindergarten.

He burst out laughing at his own words.

It's one thing to spit out food, but it's quite another to spit it on her sister.

Chen An'an put down her chopsticks and glared at her with maximum anger.

Erpiya realized she had made a huge mistake and quickly said with an innocent look, "Sis, would you believe me if I said I didn't mean it?"

Believe it or not.

Erpiya covered her head and ran quickly to her room, but her sister soon pulled her out with her clothes.

Eat your food honestly.

She can't live a day without showing off, can she? Erpiya is something else.

She loves to talk about her classmates or teachers every day, and you can see the shocked look in her eyes.

Especially in front of her sister, she wouldn't learn her lesson even if she was beaten ten times a day.

Walk for half an hour after meals to aid digestion.

This is their family's daily routine, and fortunately, the landscaping in this community is quite good.

In addition to a senior citizens' recreation center, there is also a sports center for young people.

It also has ping-pong tables, billiard tables, and some basic fitness equipment.

While riding the elevator, I happened to run into my neighbor, Shi Xiaoshan.

This guy is pretty lucky; he also has a very beautiful childhood sweetheart girlfriend.

She had just come from the countryside to stay with him and was working as a kindergarten teacher.

Such a job is naturally not something that college graduates from other places like Shi Xiaoshan can find.

It was his good friend, who was also a young rich kid, who introduced him to her.

Shi Xiaoshan was quite honest and very grateful to his bunkmate.

He probably didn't notice that his friend would occasionally glance at his girlfriend, Shen Bing.

Perhaps it's just another melodramatic love story.

A woman as pure and innocent as Shen Bing is not someone an ordinary man could easily keep.

Especially in a place like Shanghai.

Chen Pingsheng didn't pay much attention to them, only giving a token greeting before taking the two little ones for a walk on the Bund.

The Huangpu River is a wonderful place; every year, countless people from other places come here to visit and travel.

The gleaming ships along the riverbank were filled with young people.

Erpiya had a wild idea: "Dad, can you buy this river? I want to bring a bathtub and soak here every day."

She considered herself a child prodigy, so this request wasn't unreasonable! He definitely couldn't afford to buy the Huangpu River.

Building an identical one elsewhere would be easy, it's just a matter of how much money it costs.

He couldn't help but give Erpiya a big slap, saying, "If I don't beat you, you'll think you're so high and mighty, huh?"

Chen An'an laughed heartily, and Chen Pingsheng also gave her a laugh.

"You're not much better off. That superyacht from Hong Kong has arrived, and our family's fixed monthly expenses will be tens of thousands of dollars from now on. Don't forget that!"

Chen An'an was used to being beaten, so he just touched the back of his head and was fine.

Her father said he would have very few opportunities to go to Hong Kong in the future, so she simply brought her yacht, which was worth 2 million, over.

The yachts are moored at a dedicated yacht rental port in Shanghai.

The family of four walked side by side, their posture indescribably strange.

"Dad, won't people think we're fools?"

"Of course not. Apart from you being a little silly, we're all pretty normal."

"What about my sister?"

Don't even mention Erpiya!
It's really hard to explain. After learning to come here for a walk every day at such a young age, she even went online to learn how to walk like a cat.

That little bottom is wiggling.

She really doesn't miss a single opportunity; she wants to be the most dazzling person in the crowd.

Chen Pingsheng couldn't stand her, so he grabbed her and started walking back.

Erpiya scrambled her limbs and made strange, indescribable groans.

She doesn't act like a princess from Shanghai at all.

When she got home, Chen An'an thoughtfully brewed tea for her father on the balcony.

A huge balcony faces the Huangpu River; sit here and enjoy a drink.

That feeling was absolutely amazing.

Even in the bustling, materialistic city of Shanghai, nothing beats a cup of tea and a warm, comfortable home as the city lights begin to twinkle.

The next day.

He still drives his Volkswagen to take his two kids to school.

Then he went to the University of Finance and Economics to register, and he has his first elective class this afternoon.

The former principal arranged it for him personally; it must be said that college students are a very free group.

It is also the most memorable ivory tower in one's life.

Especially in freshman and sophomore years, they are simply carefree.

Universities in cities like Shanghai are generally divided into different groups.

The two largest groups are undoubtedly the locals in Shanghai and those from other places.

Shanghai is a city with a strong sense of superiority, which stems from its leading economic status since the Republic of China era.

Outsiders, especially students from average families, often face some cold treatment here.

This is also the main reason why many people, despite graduating from prestigious universities, still feel inferior after leaving college.

Money is the backbone, and that's absolutely true.

Chen Pingsheng didn't care at all how many people signed up for his first class.

Just as he wouldn't let anyone know his identity for the next ten or even twenty years.

He will only become more and more low-key.

Those who can serve as visiting professors at a university like the University of Finance and Economics usually have some areas of exceptional expertise.

After graduating from such a university, it becomes extremely difficult to hear lectures from true experts or even industry leaders.

So even without any publicity, his elective course still attracted no fewer than two hundred students.

This is not an astonishing number, considering that this university has over 20,000 students.

Two hundred people are just a drop in the ocean compared to this.

Not worth mentioning at all.

The former principal also arranged a female teaching assistant for him, who was also a very special female student.

Just by looking at her yellowed sleeves, you could tell she was a poor female student. (End of Chapter)
