The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

When Chen Pingsheng returned, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

Chen An'an was still awake, studying her textbooks. As for Erpiya, she always played until she was exhausted before going to sleep.

No one needs to shout this.

He finished showering and was getting ready for bed when his phone rang several times in the room.

It wasn't until Peng Ying from upstairs came down and knocked on the door that he realized something had happened at home.

Peng Ying hurriedly called him to go to the hospital immediately.

Chen Sai was hit by a group of young people while delivering food, and he has been taken to the hospital.

My second aunt was frantic with worry, and my second uncle was on his way to Shanghai.

Chen Pingsheng felt that running a red light was too dangerous while driving today, and wanted to remind her a couple of times.

I didn't expect something like this to happen so quickly.

When he arrived at the hospital, it was already 11 p.m., and Chen Sai was taken to the emergency room.

Her six-year-old daughter was crying terribly outside.

No matter how her grandfather and the others tried to coax her, it was no use. As for the people who hit her, they weren't entirely without responsibility.

At least they got her to the hospital immediately.

And surprisingly, there was one of them he knew.

Isn't that Yang Ziqi, whom I met before?
She was with a few classmates; those who came from the bar must have been drinking.

However, Chen Sai was already unconscious when she was hit. She was running a red light, while Yang Ziqi and her group were driving under the influence of alcohol.

They didn't dare to notify the traffic police at all.

Things that can be solved with money are not really big problems.

The car wasn't driven by Yang Ziqi, but by one of her female classmates.

That person also paid 100,000 yuan in advance at the hospital.

We'll wait until Chen Sai comes out before discussing how to handle this matter.

Soon, the parents of the girl who hit the girl also arrived.

When they learned that their daughter had been driving under the influence and had hit someone, their expressions changed slightly.

She also told me that the other party had not called the police and had quietly sent her daughter home first.

Both of them were cunning old foxes, and they quickly came up with a plan.

By the time the other party realized what was happening the next day, his daughter's drunkenness had completely worn off.

At that point, Chen Sai would basically bear full responsibility for running the red light.

The two of them came here without caring at all about how badly Chen Sai was hit.

She was only thinking about absolving her daughter of responsibility, and was even more afraid of being entangled with these food delivery people.

When Chen Pingsheng came over to ask them, Yang Ziqi quietly gave them a brief introduction.

A relative who works as a driver.

"How do you plan to handle this?"

Wang Gang said, "Don't worry, we will pay every penny that is owed to us."

Chen Pingsheng nodded; since they had already said that, he couldn't say anything more.

The other party is fairly responsible.

Let's wait and see after Chen Sai recovers.

Chen Sai works a very long time delivering food, usually from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m.

During this period, she was also responsible for picking up and dropping off her daughter at school.

For her, every extra penny she earns is a guarantee for her daughter's future.

A single mother who married the wrong person in the first half of her life only wants to make more money and raise her daughter well in the second half.

When she grows up and gets married, I only hope that she can marry someone she truly loves.

She never expected that she would be hit by a car so soon after delivering food.

Misfortune seems to always target those who are destined for hardship!

In any case, once she recovers, Chen Pingsheng will not let her deliver food anymore.

The next day, Chen Sai slowly recovered and was able to speak, though her leg still had a huge cast on it.

It's likely that he won't be able to walk normally for at least two months.

"I saw you running a red light while delivering food yesterday. I was going to remind you, but you were running too fast."

"I'm sorry, Brother Pingsheng."

"What's there to apologize for?"

Chen Pingsheng said, "The doctor said you're lucky. Everything else is fine, but your foot will need to rest for two months. Once you're healed, you shouldn't be delivering food anymore. I'll buy you a shop in Shanghai so you can start your own small business."

"I..." Chen Sai didn't know what to say.

She had a pretty good relationship with Chen Pingsheng when she was young, mainly because they lived close to each other and were close in age.

After Chen Pingsheng went to the capital, they rarely kept in touch.

She was well aware that houses in Shanghai are expensive, and storefronts are even more expensive.

That's when I realized I was surprised.

"Focus on recovering. Money is not a problem."

Chen Pingsheng tried to comfort her, but Peng Ying stormed in.

If you ask her what's wrong, she tells Chen Pingsheng to go outside and see for himself.

The family that hit the person came again, and Yang Ziqi came with them.

This is a stark contrast to yesterday's positive attitude.

Just one night later, they changed their story, claiming that the main cause of the accident was Chen Sai running a red light.

They bear no responsibility whatsoever, and could even demand compensation from Chen Sai for the damage to the car.

"Wait, I don't understand what you're saying."

"Hmph, if you don't understand, I'll say it again. This person being hit has nothing to do with my daughter. It was mainly because she ran a red light. The 100,000 yuan from yesterday was a small token of our appreciation, and also our last token of appreciation. If you don't want any trouble, you'd better sign this agreement and don't even think about bothering my daughter for money in the future."

Chen Pingsheng finally understood; they were afraid of being extorted by Chen Sai.

The meaning is clear: I can pay back the 100,000 yuan I advanced, but you must sign this liability agreement.

Furthermore, I promise I will never ask them for a single penny again.

Chen Ping laughed angrily, "Yesterday I thought you two had a good attitude, but it turns out you wanted to wait until your daughter's alcohol wore off before trying to shirk responsibility."

"No matter what you say, I can only tell you one thing: Shanghai is not as simple as you think, and don't think that being a driver for a boss will make you anything special."

Wang Gang directly threatened, "Our family is not one that a driver like you can afford to mess with."

Chen Pingsheng really wanted to say, "What makes you so sure he's the driver?" Oh... I see.

I must have heard it from Yang Ziqi.

He looked at the female passenger he had just picked up and said, "Yesterday, your classmate was drunk and hit my cousin, right? You and she came out of the bar together, so you know best."

I advise you to think carefully before you answer!

Yang Ziqi was somewhat embarrassed, as Wang Gang had reminded her before she came.

If she changes her tune, her classmates will bear no responsibility whatsoever.

She also told her classmate's father about Chen Pingsheng becoming a driver.

The two had agreed to become stars together after graduation, but now they're being exposed for drunk driving and hitting someone.

Her best friend was completely ruined.

On one side is my best friend, and on the other side is a stranger.

Moreover, Uncle Wang gave them 100,000 yuan, as long as they didn't have any intention of extorting money.

That should be enough.

Yang Ziqi firmly stated, "My classmate is indeed not responsible; it was your cousin who was hit because she ran a red light."

"Alright, I actually understand you guys quite well. If I had spoken to you from a different perspective today, you probably wouldn't have dared to cause this trouble at all."

Chen Pingsheng said, "Although my cousin is just a food delivery person, she has me as her cousin, so I will never let her be bullied."

"As for you..." Chen Pingsheng stared at Yang Ziqi and said coldly, "I will make you regret this decision for the rest of your life."

Yang Ziqi really wanted to say, "What makes you think you're so great? You're just a lousy driver."
