The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chen An'an actually knew very well.

Her father will definitely arrange something for her at school; he can't let her really be an ordinary person with nothing.

The principal's attitude says it all.

Chen An'an walked somewhat lonely through the school, while whispers could be heard from the crowd.

"Look, that's Chen An'an."

"What Chen An'an? She's clearly Lady Chen!"

"I heard she could take on ten men at once. If the teacher hadn't arrived early, Jin Haotian's group would have been beaten to a pulp."

Rumors stop with the wise, but once they are passed from person to person, they only become more and more exaggerated.

"Miss An'an, could you please sign your autograph?"

"How do you do that praying mantis boxing stance? Can you teach me?"

"And another thing, can you really take on ten people at once? You're amazing!"

As expected, another unexpected event occurred: Chen An'an, an ordinary junior high school girl, became famous again.

And she became so popular for no reason. People say she can take on ten people at once? Ugh... Someone like Erpiya could definitely do that.

The girls who asked her for her autograph unconsciously became infatuated with her.

Chen An'an shivered involuntarily, thinking to herself, "If there isn't a single boy who likes me, there probably aren't many girls who do either."

Sigh! Martial arts master, it's been so long since I've heard that term. It's no wonder she trained so hard in the coldest winters and hottest summers when she was young.

He grew up to become a master of his generation... a junior high school teacher.

She can't keep a low profile even if she wants to. Xiao Wenwen and Hu Tao both came to see her and asked her why she's so amazing.

Chen An'an gazed at the starry sky with a slightly lonely look in her eyes, "When I was little, I became the apprentice of an old man, and only after I grew up did I find out that he was actually..."

"A peerless master, an unparalleled hermit in the deep mountains."

This wasn't something Chen An'an said; it was entirely based on Xiao Wenwen's own imagination.

Chen An'an patted her on the shoulder, thinking to herself, "Your automatic imagination is amazing. I wouldn't dare to make up such nonsense, but you managed to cover it up for me."

Xiao Wenwen looked at her excitedly, "An'an, you know, you've become the idol of all the girls in the school. You single-handedly beat Jin Haotian and his gang on the playground, you were so cool."

"It's all a small matter, keep it low-key, keep it low-key."

Chen An'an coughed twice, not taking it seriously. Xiao Wenwen's father was just an ordinary migrant worker on a construction site, and her mother cooked for others there, but Xiao Wenwen herself had excellent grades.

Consistently ranked in the top three in the class and in the top twenty in the whole school.

If it weren't for her academic achievements, she wouldn't have been able to attend this school given her family's circumstances.

Even so, Xiao Wenwen's parents still found it quite difficult.

Actually, Chen An'an really wanted to help her. She had her own Anle Foundation, which could spend one or two hundred million yuan every year.

But her current identity is that of an ordinary junior high school girl, so she can't make it too obvious.

She did want the Anle Foundation to contact her parents and provide Xiao Wenwen with all the funding she needed for university.

Chen An'an went back to the dormitory with her, and they ran into Hu Tao, whose face was flushed.

Although Hu Tao was also from out of town, her parents were much better off than Xiao Wenwen.

They are at least respectable high-level white-collar workers, and their parents' combined monthly salary is about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

I heard that she's going to buy a house in Shanghai this year or next, and I really want to remind her.

You can't buy it, the housing market is about to collapse.

Even their family needs to sell all their commercial properties that are difficult to rent out and not easy to cash out at an 80% discount. If you buy a house now, your family may have to work for nothing for the next ten years.

Although Jinshan's housing prices are not as high as those in downtown Shanghai, good locations still cost around 40,000 to 50,000 yuan per square meter.

Even with a monthly salary of 30,000 yuan and a bank loan, it would take you 30 years to pay off your mortgage even if you didn't eat or drink.

It's not about buying a very big house, just a small apartment of about 100 square meters.

The housing market has been a trap for a long time.

Chen An'an knew that what Hu Tao looked forward to most was that her parents could buy a house in Shanghai, so that she could hold her head high in front of her classmates.

When people say she's from out of town, Hu Tao can still raise her little head and loudly declare, "My family bought a house."

Sigh! Chen An'an felt quite sad. Although her family were the beneficiaries of the house, her father and mother had never expressed much opinion on the matter.

Their family has been speculating in real estate since 13, and they must have made several billion yuan in total.

Later, she speculated in commercial real estate. Tengchao Commercial Management, which she would inherit, would generate billions of yuan in rent annually. This income was undoubtedly astonishing, but considering Hu Tao and the others' situation, she felt that this income was rather shameful.

To put it bluntly, this thing has hijacked the lives of ordinary people.

A house is not just for living in; it's also a symbol of dignity in Shanghai.

Hu Tao's favorite question to ask others is which house is better, but what she really means is that her parents also want to buy a house.

Xiao Wenwen would listen attentively every time, but she would never offer her opinion because she knew that her parents couldn't afford it.

No matter how hard I try, I still can't afford it.

Chen An'an felt sorry for them, so she simply played games with them.

"You guys know, right? I know a shop that seems to have a promotion where you can buy an ice cream house for five yuan. Should we try it tomorrow?"

"No, even a fool wouldn't believe in such an event."

"Why don't you believe it? What if we actually win?"

"If you guys manage to win, I'll livestream myself eating shit while doing a handstand."

The local girl, Mo Qiqi, said disdainfully, "You guys are too naive to believe in something like this."

"Hmph, I said I could win and I definitely could. Anyway, an ice cream costs five yuan, so why not give it a try?"

Xiao Wenwen and Hu Tao thought about it and agreed. They also really liked ice cream. They were willing to spend five yuan, even if it meant not winning a house, just to have an ice cream.

Chen An'an called Shen Youwei, and the girl came out the next day with a banner and an ice cream cart.

She was also wearing a red top hat, making her look like a Christmas superheroine.

Shen Youwei and Zhao Yingying came out together.

They are the two most important people in charge of the Anle Foundation, and also Miss An'an's right-hand women in the Tengying Group.

They must appear immediately whenever Miss An'an gives an order.

I don't know what Miss An'an is up to, she actually came up with this activity of buying houses from ice cream.

This prompted them to come up with a shake-to-buy ice cream promotion overnight.

They came from the city center with an ice cream truck, which was no big deal for the wealthy Tengying Group.

Chen An'an brought Xiao Wenwen and Hu Tao to buy ice cream, and Shen Youwei and Zhao Yingying gave them a long introduction.

Five yuan won't make you lose out, and you certainly won't be cheated.

What if you win?
Hmm... First prize: Tan Palace Villa.

This is a bit too much. Even if it were given away for free, given Xiao Wenwen and Hu Tao's family circumstances, they couldn't even afford the basic property management fees.

Second prize, Tomson Riviera.

It sounds impressive, but it doesn't even rank in the top 20 in Shanghai.

The third prize was their own Kingsoft Tengying Super Community.

This is a super community that can house 100,000 people, and all the houses inside belong to Miss An'an herself.

She can play however she wants.

"An'an, is it really possible to buy a house in an ice cream parlor?"

"Of course! You guys should buy one and try it!"

"Ok."

Wanting to eat it, Xiao Wenwen and Hu Tao each took out five yuan to buy one.

When they opened the bag, the prize looked incredibly fake.

It says directly inside: Congratulations, young master, you have won a 138-square-meter apartment with zero common area in Tengying Super Community.

300,000 home appliances were delivered.

Zhao Yingying screamed and quickly said, "Oh my, you guys are so lucky, you won a house!"

Shen You wanted to roll her eyes at her. Sis, you've gone too far with your acting. Aren't you being a little too over the top?

Regardless of whether it was excessive or not, Zhao Yingying knew that she had truly won the lottery for this house.
