The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Time flies, and October arrives in the blink of an eye.

During the seven-day National Day holiday, Erpiya angrily accepted reality. She could resist anyone, but she absolutely could not resist her father's arrangements.

Shen Xiaoyu and An Xiaoxiao are born to compete with each other. They compete with each other in school for grades, and they can compete with each other in terms of working hours after graduation.

For them, life is about hard work, and everything is for tomorrow.

Does Dad think he can't do anything about it?

Hmph... People like this are only fit to work for me when they grow up.

Erpiya was very clear-headed; she would never compete with others in a cutthroat environment, as that didn't suit her personality or her background.

You're naturally good at curling up, okay, I admit you're amazing.

Come work for me!
Erpiya secretly sent Shen Xiaoyu and An Xiaoxiao job offers from three major companies.

Now that you're both my employees, you won't try to embarrass me, the big, big CEO, anymore.

She's really clever; only she could come up with such a foolish idea.

Shanghai in October was as lively as ever, bustling with people coming and going. Many people came here to see the Bund and stroll along Nanjing Street.

Only those who truly live in Shanghai know that without money, you can't experience the real Bund.

The so-called Bund was a place of utter decadence and debauchery.

Take Erpiya for example. Despite her young age, she held her own fan appreciation night on National Day, which lasted for a whole week.

She invited 100 fans from Ercongming's account to visit Shanghai, so they could experience the real Bund and its materialistic world.

The ferries on the Huangpu River are for ordinary people.

Private yachts are the standard for the wealthy.

Coincidentally, she has a small yacht worth 200 million yuan parked here at her own home.

Looking at prices while shopping at the supermarket is something only poor people do; just take whatever you like.

A bottle of red wine costing tens of thousands of dollars, a small cake costing several thousand dollars, and Starbucks Jumbo apples so expensive they make you question your existence.

Despite its long name, it's just a red apple.

One bite costs several hundred dollars, and one serving costs 1988 dollars.

If you spend a long time here, you'll start to doubt whether what you're holding is real money.

It is the Zimbabwean dollar.

Er Congming is widely recognized as the most deserving little princess on the internet, and also the richest account.

none of them.

Since she is so highly regarded, it's obviously not as simple as just filming some everyday moments.

Instead, they hold two fan meet-and-greets every year, inviting these people to stay in exorbitantly priced rooms costing 150,000 yuan a night, and to eat a Western-style dinner that costs tens of thousands of yuan for just a plate of vegetables, a few blades of grass, and two pieces of meat.

In general, Erpiya used to attend these fan meetings on her own.

She doesn't anymore; she finds it meaningless.

Even the most luxurious things are just everyday things to her, not worth mentioning at all. Who would flaunt their everyday food? It's completely unnecessary, okay?

As for the fans she invited, they were randomly selected, and she doesn't have a top-ranking fan.

No one is qualified to call her "big brother," and no matter how many gifts you give her, she won't say thank you.

Take it or leave it, I don't want these anyway.

Yeah, yeah... that's how extravagant I am. Live streaming is just a hobby.

Erpiya has remained true to her original aspirations; she seems to have hardly changed from age two to six.

Chen Pingsheng didn't bother to pay attention to her behavior; it seemed pointless anyway, and there was no real need to interfere.

As for Chen An'an, she came back on the first day of the National Day holiday, and then went to Jinshan on the second day.

He said he was going to do something meaningful with Xiao Wenwen and Hu Tao.

Chen Pingsheng only found out after asking that the three of them had gone to make money.

Chen An'an started earning money at a very young age, carrying a large gold bowl and a priceless erhu worth millions, playing it here and there. At his most outrageous, he even squatted in front of his own family's headquarters to beg.

The young lady was begging with a bowl in hand; anyone who saw her would surely take out some cash.

She only stopped this absurd behavior after being reprimanded, and now she's back to busking on the streets. She's really persistent in her pursuit of busking.

The only one in the house who can sit quietly is the mistress, Chen Lu.

His mother, Song Yanxi, is putting him under special training, making him watch a lot of intense movies at such a young age.

Check out Kong vs. Zombies!

Chen Lu, the mistress, was actually quite confused. He was just a little timid, was that really wrong?

Chen Pingsheng had nothing to do during the National Day holiday, so he stayed at home and cooked a meal. He didn't go to the Tan Palace Villa for a party, but instead cooked with his wife in the Bund luxury apartment, while his mistress acted as a macho man.

“Chen Pingsheng, your two daughters have both disappeared without a trace, aren’t you going to do anything about it?”

"What do we care? An'an went to perform on the street, and Erpiya is working at one of her three major companies."

"Hmph, An'an is one thing, but what's the point of setting up a company for Er Ya at that age? She's just messing around all day long."

"Didn't you agree to that? Now that you can't see me, you're coming to scold me."

Chen Pingsheng felt quite aggrieved; his wife couldn't control their daughter, so she started blaming him.

If we don't talk about Song Yanxi, who else can we talk about? Erpiya was on vacation for several days and we couldn't even see a ghost.

Now that they don't need to pick me up from school anymore, it seems like they're not being very good parents.

"The mistress is easier to manage. Look how obedient she is; she doesn't even go out to play during holidays."

"Is he listening to advice? You're clearly the one forcing him to stay home and watch porn."

Chen Pingsheng unconsciously retorted, and Song Yanxi thought about it and agreed, so she simply stopped cooking.

"Shall we take our mistresses along on the ferry?"

"Is it really necessary for people to be so crowded? It's not like we don't have a private yacht."

"A private yacht is a yacht, that's different."

Many people ride the sightseeing cruises on the Huangpu River every night, and the tickets cost just over 100 yuan each.

It's not exactly affordable, but most tourists from other places who come to Shanghai will try it out.

Chen Pingsheng had no objection and took his mistress and wife on a cruise.

Given his status, he would definitely be accompanied by four or five bodyguards when he goes out.

I'm not afraid of serious people, I'm afraid of hotheads.

From their house, it's a five-minute walk to the Bund, with its dazzling lights, enchanting night, the waves of the Huangpu River, and the surrounding skyscrapers that reach into the clouds.

Together they weave a magnificent dream.

Chen Pingsheng didn't know why his wife wanted to experience a sightseeing cruise like ordinary people, but he just went along with it.

The two, along with Chen Lu (the mistress), queued up to buy tickets. Most of the people around them were young couples.

There are migrant workers and people from other places, and of course, there are also those who are still acting like simps.

"Are you two locals from Shanghai?"

A girl nearby noticed they had a child and asked a question out of curiosity.

Song Yanxi said no, they were all from Nan Province.

The girl wasn't a local from Shanghai; she was from Sichuan.

She is currently a university student and had always heard that Shanghai is a bustling metropolis, so she and two classmates took advantage of the National Day holiday to travel on a budget with each of them carrying 1,000 yuan.

Seriously speaking, taking the train to Shanghai is different from taking first class.

What we see is not the same world at all.
