The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

For children, parents are their greatest support.

Some things, if not handled properly, can even become a lifelong psychological shadow for children.

The eldest sister, Chen Yao, is like that; she is the eldest sister in the family.

In the early 1990s, because she had a younger brother and sister, she, as the eldest sister, had to drop out of school early.

Then they would go to work in the fields, or help with laundry and cooking at home.

In any case, one cannot be idle all day long, nor can one read whenever one wants.

Her mother, Peng Ying, also taught her from a young age that as the eldest in the family, she should be more tolerant in everything.

She always thought more about her younger siblings; that's how she's always lived.

Why did something happen to her daughter?
The middle-aged doctor called in a psychological counselor to provide Xiao Le with specialized psychological counseling.

Only today did she realize just how much that incident in Shacheng had affected her daughter.

Actually, she had considered showing her strength and resilience as a mother.

She went to the teacher angrily, but the teacher kept telling her to let it go.

Don't try to cause trouble for the student who bullied her daughter.

Because other families are wealthy, and their kind of family can't afford to offend them.

Chen Yao didn't believe it, so she went to see the principal again.

As a result, the principal refused to see her at all, and no matter what she said, she could not get justice for her daughter.

Enraged, Chen Yao rushed over and slapped the girl.

At that moment, Xiao Le probably felt that she, as a mother, was stronger than ever before.

But afterwards, she paid a heavy price.

Not only was he detained for half a month, but he also lost his job and spent over 100,000 yuan to apologize in prison.

Because of this incident, Xiao Ping'an's mother kept scolding her, calling her a fool.

I've gotten my family into this huge trouble for no reason, and it's cost me several years' worth of savings.

At that time, she knew that she, as the mother, could never get justice for her daughter.

No one expected that the eldest daughter, who had always been well-behaved and sensible, would...

The fact that this incident caused her mental distress can, to some extent, be understood as indicating an extremely low tolerance for stress.

When faced with problems, they either keep them to themselves or cower in a corner.

This can easily lead to depression if it continues for a long time.

After Chen Yao went to the capital to stay with her younger brother, Xiao Le's condition gradually improved.

Because of her uncle, no one at school came to mock her for being a country bumpkin anymore.

No one dared to bully her anymore.

Under the influence of this environment, Xiao Le's mental illness improved considerably.

But a few days ago, because of that teacher's matter, his condition suddenly worsened.

She never imagined she would tell anyone, but the teacher who liked her still threatened her without any scruples.

This was even worse than what happened in Sand City.

Xiao Le received the best psychological treatment in her room, and Chen An'an also called her father.

Her aunt probably can't handle this kind of thing.

After all, they were riding in a black Audi, which is obviously a government vehicle.

When Chen Pingsheng came over, he was still with his wife, Song Yanxi.

A common fever or cold is nothing to worry about, but if it's linked to depression, then it's a very serious matter.

In severe cases, it can have lifelong effects.

He waited outside and first listened to his eldest daughter, Chen An'an, recount what had happened that day.

Later, I heard my older sister talk about the incident in Shacheng.

The main reason Xiao Le developed mental health issues was the bullying she experienced at school.

Xiao Le realized that her parents' grievances and forbearance made her realize that their family could not withstand any storms.

They are even less able to withstand the provocations of the wealthy.

Later, when she saw classmates who were better off, she would instinctively avoid them.

Even if others have no ill intentions, it's still the same.

When the counselor came out, Chen Pingsheng asked her about the specific situation.

"Mr. Chen, the situation is not optimistic. This child has a particularly poor ability to cope with stress. Fortunately, it was discovered early this time. Otherwise, if her nerves had remained so taut for several more years, she would definitely have become depressed."

"Why is this happening?"

In Chen Yao's memory, Xiao Le had always been well-behaved, sensible, and academically excellent.

There was no need for her, the mother, to worry at all. She never expected that such a well-behaved daughter would have such a serious accident.

I almost developed depression.

Anyone familiar with this disease knows that it is extremely difficult to cure, and common medications are completely ineffective.

They only want to stay in their own little world.

It's okay if a child from a wealthy family gets depression, but what if a child from an ordinary family also gets this disease?

Parents would age ten years overnight.

Chen Pingsheng asked, "Is there any way to cure it as soon as possible?"

The counselor thought for a moment and said, "The best way to deal with this kind of mental illness is to guide it slowly, but if you want to treat it faster, the best way is to find the one who tied the knot to untie it."

"understood."

Chen Pingsheng instructed her, "You stay here for the time being, and go to my eldest sister's house every two days."

"Okay Mr. Chen."

If you take someone's money, you should naturally do your job well.

Besides, the person in front of him is no ordinary person.

Chen Pingsheng asked Xiao Le to come with him.

Since it's a psychological problem, no amount of IV drips will be of much use.

After finding the teacher's phone number on his phone, he instructed the driver to wait downstairs.

Since the one who tied the knot must untie it, this teacher must be dealt with first.

"Pingsheng, why did you take her there?"

"Of course, we should make her face her own problems."

Chen Pingsheng said, "Big sister, I know you suffered a lot when you were young, and I know how hard you were in your early years. But now that you've come to Shanghai, and you're my own sister, you shouldn't let your daughter just run away when she encounters problems."

“My niece, Chen Pingsheng’s niece, should not be afraid of trouble, much less try to avoid it.”

"No one can make her this afraid."

Chen Pingsheng's words were forceful and clear, leaving Chen Yao speechless for a moment.

She may only now realize that her family is no longer an ordinary family.

They are not outsiders who can be bullied.

Chen Pingsheng took Xiao Le directly to that teacher's house in his top-of-the-line Phantom.

He wanted to see what kind of teacher would dare to threaten the good students in his class after having a relationship with one.

Xiao Le's teacher is named Ma Xiaoli.

Born in 89, he is exactly thirty years old this year.

If you say she had a relationship with a student, it's because of her unhappy family life.

That would be totally wrong.

On the contrary, her mother was also a teacher, and a famous university professor in Shanghai.

Her father was clearly more powerful; he could arrange teachers at will.

Her husband was introduced to her by her family; he was a vice president-level figure at a foreign company.

He was a full nine years older than her.

Such a family has both money and fame.

But Ma Xiaoli was still not satisfied; she believed that the sports student could bring her the most exciting pleasure.

That's what her forty-year-old husband couldn't give her.

So they broke through the border defenses in just one or two attempts.

Even when Xiao Le saw her, Ma Xiaoli was only nervous at first.

After that, I calmed down.

Because no matter what happened to her when she was little, her parents would always take care of it for her.

Unexpectedly, Chen Pingsheng brought Xiao Le and Xiao Le's mother to our door.

Ma Xiaoli remained nonchalant, not taking it seriously at all.

You can say it exists, or she can say it doesn't; you can't produce any evidence anyway.

Once a woman starts arguing, no matter what you say, it's the same.

Chen Pingsheng would never argue with her.

She then went to her husband's company, to a well-known vice president-level figure in Shanghai.

Everyone knows Chen Pingsheng.

What's more, this foreign company was invested in by Neil Shen.

She accompanied him to find Ma Xiaoli's husband.

Chen Pingsheng simply asked him if he believed in him, and this forty-year-old senior vice president certainly said yes.

"Since you trust me, then I have to tell you something bad: your wife is having an affair, and it's someone you would never expect."

"She threatened my niece because of this. If you don't want to be cuckolded, you'd better check your wife's phone tonight."

Upon hearing this, the senior vice president initially disbelieved it, and then felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

He was so angry that his hair stood on end.

Why would someone as important as Chen Pingsheng need to come and deceive a mere vice president like him?
He asked himself honestly if he had treated Ma Xiaoli very well.

But unexpectedly, this woman still cheated on him.

It has to be said that people who can become vice presidents in foreign companies are far more shrewd than ordinary people.

No matter how angry he was, he remained calm and collected when he got home.

He even managed to force a smile that showed how much he loved his wife.

I also bought her two brand-new mobile phones, one for my wife and one for my mother-in-law who raised such a wonderful daughter.

He also knew that the big boss Chen certainly hadn't obtained any solid evidence either, otherwise he wouldn't have needed to go to the company to find him.

He could make his wife infamous and a laughing stock in Shanghai in no time.

Now this matter can only fall on his shoulders.

He can be very good to his wife and tolerate all aspects of her personality.

They might even hand over their entire salary card.

But all of this is based on his wife's unwavering loyalty to their marriage and love.

Once someone cheats, don't blame him for being ruthless.

After all, he was able to marry Ma Xiaoli and get her parents' approval so quickly.

Their family's financial situation must be quite good.

Zhong Kun returned home quietly and prepared the most romantic gift for his wife.

This made Ma Xiaoli lower her guard.

While she was taking a shower, Zhong Kun immediately grabbed her phone to unlock it. What he saw shocked him.

I felt terrible after watching it.

That bitch Ma Xiaoli actually did such a thing.

Zhong Kun was so angry that his hands were trembling. After thinking for a long time, he used a handful of water to force himself to calm down.

He then sent some private chat messages to Chen Pingsheng.

Even at this moment, he didn't forget to curry favor with this big shot.

After all, he did say that his wife threatened his niece.

It seems that this has led to some very bad consequences.

At this point, he would definitely have to sacrifice Ma Xiaoli.

Whether out of a sense of responsibility as a man or a husband, he wanted to ruin Ma Xiaoli's reputation.

Even their family is the same.

Chen Pingsheng simply sent him a message: "Do what you want."

Zhong Kun understood.

He immediately posted screenshots of his wife's chat with his student online.

Don't you like seeking fame and fortune, and being from a scholarly family?
I will make you a scholarly family.

The impact of the event was beyond imagination, and the internet reacted with astonishing speed.

It quickly became a topic of conversation for most people during their leisure time.

It's not terrible for a teacher to have an affair, but it's terrible if the other person is their student.

That would be a really big problem.

Parents send their children to school so that their teachers can properly educate and nurture them.

This is not for you to seek thrills.

This matter concerns everyone, so even though it happened at night, it became widely known overnight.

Perhaps only Ma Xiaoli herself was unaware of the situation.

After all, she had a good plan. She had made a small mistake, and Zhong Kun had treated her well.

So she still occasionally thinks about making up for it.

Unfortunately, Zhong Kun slapped her across the face, leaving her bewildered.

What was originally known only to Xiao Le is now known by at least a million, if not ten million.

The secret she had to force herself to keep was no longer a secret at all.

Xiao Le's high fever subsided significantly immediately, and he even had a deep sleep.

Chen Pingsheng took her to Shacheng, still on his private jet.

He wanted to completely cure the lingering health problems she had developed from being bullied at school.

……

Shacheng, the city of entertainment.

The way outsiders perceive Shacheng is fundamentally different from how locals perceive it.

To outsiders, Shacheng, a provincial capital, has low housing prices, so the happiness index must be very high.

Locals describe Shacheng as a place with low income and high cost of living, a situation that's hard to describe in a few words.

There are all sorts of different opinions.

Sitting in his private jet worth 700 million, Xiao Le found it hard to describe his feelings at that moment.

Just like her uncle, whom she had always seen, he was powerful and omnipotent.

It seems to offer the strongest support.

This time, she returned to Shacheng with her uncle.

Xiao Le's feelings can be imagined; he was bound to be very anxious.

With Chen Pingsheng's connections and his nationwide business empire.

In less than half an hour, they were able to find out the classmate who had bullied his niece and the culprit who sent his sister to jail.

Yang Huaqiang.

The owner of a sand and gravel pit in Wangxian County who was quite well-known in the early 2000s.

His daughter was the one who bullied Xiao Le, and even now, Yang Huaqiang's eldest daughter is still arrogant and domineering.

If any man she likes takes a liking to another woman...

If that woman comes from a wealthy and influential family, that's fine; otherwise, well, that's just... well, let's just say it's not good.

It's going to be really bad; you can only imagine how bad it will be.

Anyway, there are two women like that; one of them does business on Magnolia Road.

She went to work as a hostess at a KTV.

Because of Yang Huaqiang's connections, no matter how much trouble Yang Hong caused, she always managed to escape unscathed in the end.

Over time, she became increasingly domineering.

Because of the special circumstances of recent years, Yang Huaqiang now acts like a Confucian businessman.

She smiles at everyone she meets and greets them politely.

He is very particular about his clothing, because he had many tattoos on his body in his earlier years.

He felt it had a bad influence, so he has never worn short sleeves or shorts in the past ten years.

If you've known him for the past few years, your impression and opinion of him would definitely be good.

If we go back ten years, he would have been the most notorious ruthless person in Wang County.

Chen Pingsheng invited him to his home, and Yang Huaqiang dared not refuse.

After all, a person's reputation is like a tree casting a shadow.

No matter how powerful he is, he can't be more powerful than Han Shanye, the former cash king of Shacheng.

Yang Huaqiang was uneasy about this sudden meeting, but he also knew that he had not offended this man.

So, I was somewhat looking forward to it when I went.

What if they want to collaborate with him?
Chen Pingsheng received the "cowardly" businessman Yang Huaqiang at his home.

It was also his daughter who caused Xiao Le to suffer a great psychological trauma.

He even personally took Chen Yao to the police station.

They even made Xiao Ping'an kneel in front of their house for three hours before they agreed to release his older sister.

Chen Pingsheng wasn't successful back then; he was still selling durians at a street stall.

Given his older sister's personality, she would never tell him about such a thing.

It was only today that he learned there was such a thing.

Chen Pingsheng held a string of fake Buddhist prayer beads worth ten yuan in his hand, which was given to him by Erpiya.

He claimed that even emperors had worn it, and then she managed to snag it for a bargain price of ten thousand yuan.

"Yang Huaqiang, do you still remember my eldest sister, Chen Yao?"

There was no need for formalities, because Yang Huaqiang didn't even have the right to sit down in front of him.

Yang Huaqiang instinctively sensed hostility in his tone; this wasn't a cooperation trip, but rather someone looking for trouble.

I vaguely recognize the name Chen Yao.

He couldn't recall ever offending such a person.

"If you don't remember, go home and ask your good daughter. Also, don't say I didn't give you a chance. Find a crime to go to jail for three years, and I'll let your matter go for now."

“If you don’t want to go in and still want to resist, pick up your phone now and notify all the big shots and connections you know. Tell them that I, Chen Pingsheng, am right here. Let’s see who dares to plead for you.”

Three years is the amount he needs to repay for the fifteen days Chen Yao spent in prison.

Yang Huaqiang's expression changed several times. Of course, he couldn't possibly go to jail for three years just because of someone else's words.

Even if this person is extremely famous, it won't work.

Yang Huaqiang said, "President Chen, I heard that you and Gao Hu are brothers, and coincidentally, I also have a very good relationship with him."

"You can try calling him and see if Gao Hu dares to say you're his friend in front of me."

"Furthermore..." Chen Pingsheng said seriously, "Three years is a choice I made for you. If you are unwilling to choose this respectable path, then you are going to fight me to the death."

"Yang Huaqiang, forgive my bluntness, but do you have the qualifications?"

"You don't even have the ability to hold your head high in front of Han Shan, are you sure you can fight me?"

Chen Pingsheng's eyes were calm yet sharp; with just one glance, Yang Huaqiang wished he could run away immediately.

He certainly wasn't qualified to fight against this person.

They weren't even qualified to carry shoes; Shacheng was still a very small place.

He was only somewhat famous in Wang County, while others were famous throughout the entire country.

They say a dragon crossing the river can't beat a local snake.

You also have to see what kind of dragon it is. The Cash King of Shacheng is already the most famous local tyrant in the entire Shacheng.

what's the result?
It's because someone's grandmother died in the hospital.

After several rounds, they were completely wiped out.

Despite Han Shan's strong connections, not a single one of them showed up.

They were all completely suppressed from above.

If he walks out of that door, he'll probably only have two choices.

One of them ran away immediately, as far as he could.

The second option is to surrender yourself on the least serious charge and serve three years in prison honestly.

To resolve this grievance.

There is another path of resistance that seems the most promising, but is actually doomed to failure at the slightest touch.

The key point is that Yang Huaqiang thought and thought, but he really couldn't remember when he had offended someone like Chen Yao.

When he left, Yang Huaqiang had only managed to get one day's leave.

It's not 24 hours, but 12 hours.

If he doesn't give an answer before midnight...

Then they'll definitely send people to thoroughly investigate him, and he won't just be detained for a short three years.

If he can still come out before the age of sixty, then he is already considered to have been fortunate in his fate.

After all, he had done a lot of shady things when he made his fortune over the years.

Only he himself knows the truth.

If no one investigates these things, they will naturally fade away with time.

If he is held accountable, that will be his fatal blow.

Many of those who made their fortunes in the 1990s couldn't escape this hurdle.

He is also included.

It seems like there are choices, but in reality, there are no choices at all.

He can bully ordinary people at will just because he's richer than others.

Others can also rely on having ten, a hundred, or even a thousand or ten thousand times more money than him.

They come here to bully this honest, law-abiding citizen at will.

If fists are bigger than people, then there's no need to reason with them.

Because his fist was smaller than his body, he became the one most eager to call the police to express his grievances and seek a just verdict from the police.
