The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Mid-May.

Song Wu successfully gave birth to her second son, whom she named Song Siwu.

Her first child had already been renamed Song Chaoqun.

Both children share the surname Song, and Liu Fen takes care of them almost constantly.

And her older sister, Song Yanxi, is the same; after all, she only has one younger sister, how could she not care?

Thinking about it, my sister-in-law's fate has been quite unpredictable. She used to be as proud as a little hen.

After experiencing setbacks for several years after entering the workforce, it took me a long time to become more grounded.

She stumbled again with Yang Changwen. Now she's a mother of two, and she's not as young as she used to be.

Perhaps finding a man is no longer important to her; the key is to raise her two children well.

The changes of the times are not only reflected in their family, but also in the world outside.

After receiving relief funds from Chen Pingsheng, Gao Hu was no longer as dejected as before, and even abandoned his fried rice stall.

Instead, he opened a Lao You Ji restaurant in Guangzhou.

The operation was very large, and the total investment was over ten million.

Friends, as the name suggests, is a place where a few old friends get together for a meal. But that's not all; he also meticulously planned to recreate those lost moments of beauty in the past.

Whether it can be successfully built is unknown; it's still in the renovation stage.

When he was no longer so despondent, there were still people willing to follow him, carrying their bags from Shacheng to Guangdong without asking any questions.

Perhaps in the eyes of those who have witnessed Gao Hu's glory days, he is still a miracle in this industry no matter what.

A renowned figure in the catering industry, now that he has recovered from his setbacks, countless people are still willing to believe in him.

Not only Gao Hu is starting over, but Xiao Chun is too.

She used to be just an ordinary factory worker, but Gao Hu showed her the beauty of the world.

He left her behind halfway through, but Xiao Chun didn't have the typical woman's unrealistic ambitions.

She hasn't worked for several years and doesn't have a high level of education.

The number of good jobs available is very limited, and I'm currently working as a waiter in a fast-moving consumer goods fashion store.

Women still need to earn their own money. This job isn't too tiring, and she can still go home and take care of the children at night.

Xiao Chun, who has returned to work, removed all the designer brands that Gao Hu and Chen Pingsheng had given her.

She simply supported herself in this small fast-fashion store, just like any other ordinary woman.

She even dreamed of opening a small shop like this in the future, remaining as down-to-earth and kind as ever.

As for Changfu, he dreamed of becoming a big star someday since he was very young.

He didn't become a big star, but he became a celebrity boss.

This industry is not as glamorous as outsiders see it; in fact, it is full of dark sides.

Power, desire, and greed reveal their dark side in this industry teeming with beautiful women.

In other words, Chen Pingsheng has the ability to protect all the big stars under his wing. If it were someone else, no matter how famous they were, they could easily become the plaything of some fat, wealthy patron.

The moment Chang Fu heard Chen Pingsheng talk about the prestigious family, he took out 100 million yuan to support all the high-achieving members of the Chang family to study abroad or take the civil service exam.

People like them must look to the future.

……

Time pushes everyone forward, without exception.

Time flies, and life is fleeting.

May has passed, and June has arrived.

Upon graduating from elementary school, Chen An'an delivered a formal speech entitled "My Future" in front of all the teachers and students.

"On June 18, 2019, I, Chen An'an, graduated."

"Although I've only graduated from elementary school and have a long future ahead of me, my father has always taught me that even though I'm still young, I need to think clearly about what kind of person I want to be in the future!"

"I want to be a purely good person, a good person who contributes to society, is meaningful to the company, and is full of responsibility to employees."

“When I was only ten years old, my father was able to set aside hundreds of millions of dollars every year for me to learn how to manage and use money effectively.”

"Even when I was feeling lost, it taught me that life is a long journey, and we are all struggling on this path." "Some people can't see the future, yet they can earn a few thousand dollars a month and study late into the night under the neon lights."

"There are also people who, after graduating from university, end up handing out flyers and delivering food on the street because they can't find good jobs."

"Even more so are those who work hard from a young age, and after graduation they get jobs in companies run by rich kids like us."

"My only wish is that we can last a little longer and not go bankrupt so quickly."

The people below burst into laughter. The whole school knew who her father was; he was a very famous figure in Shanghai and even the entire business world.

His daughter, too, seems to have been raised by him to be full of responsibility and kindness.

"More than 90 percent of people in this society live to make money, but I don't seem to need to."

“My father never taught me how to make money; he only taught me what responsibility is.”

"When you own a company, you will have a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand employees, which means that behind you there are ten thousand ordinary families."

"These people are not only giving to you, but also relying on this platform to make a living."

"The kind of good person I want to be is one who, after inheriting my family's company, can be said to everyone, 'Chen An'an, you did a great job.'"

"That makes him a good person."

"I also hope that the company I manage is free of personal connections and favors. If you have the ability, you can rise to the top, and if you don't, you will fall out."

"Then those who want fairness will say, Chen An'an, you are a good person."

“I also hope to spend the money on more meaningful things, such as providing tuition fees for children who cannot afford to go to school, building roads for children in mountainous areas, and solving medical problems for those who are sick but cannot afford medical treatment.”

"That way they'll say, 'Chen An'an, you're a good person.'"

“My father never said you shouldn’t spend money like that. He would only say that being a good person is his pride as a father.”

"So my only hope for the future is to be a purely good person."

After reading it, Chen An'an bowed and thanked everyone.

She felt that she had grown up and should try to grow up as well.

She has experienced more than any student or teacher at this school.

What she believes may not necessarily align with everyone else's views.

But everyone applauded her, because she was truly outstanding.

He was at the bottom of the class, relying on his not-so-high talent.

He fought his way up to the top five in the class.

Her achievements were not a source of pride for her.

Her pride was simply that she was proud to be her parents.

From then on, her parents would never be ridiculed for her grades again.

Time, you really can completely change a person.

Chen Pingsheng and Song Yanxi posed for a group photo in front of the entire school.

It still sits firmly in the very center.

No one thought it was inappropriate, simply because his name was Chen Pingsheng.

A man who is hailed as a good boss by all universities.

He is also a rising star among entrepreneurs of this era.

When it comes to money, no one can surpass him.

Peter, he is supported by millions of employees.

Another half of the university students consider joining his group as their ultimate goal.

If such a person weren't so low-key, even the slightest movement of theirs would be big news.

His daughter graduated from elementary school.

It might not be a big deal for others, but it definitely is for their family.
