The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chapter 608 Rebellious Period
The junior high school period is generally a time of some rebellion.

Especially for someone like Chen An'an, her way of rebelling is quite unique.

In just one week, she became the target of all the boys in the class.

If anyone tries to pursue a girl in the class, she can just run over and slap him in the face and then hurl insults at him.

Why are you chasing after her? Can you buy her a Ferrari or a house in Shanghai?

Chen An'an inexplicably became the undisputed "Witch An" in the class, and she didn't object to it if others said so.

But who would dare say that to her face?
She teaches you how to be a person with ease.

Choosing to learn martial arts from a young age was quite prescient.

This is exactly where it comes in handy, isn't it?
One day, during a physical education class.

Mo Qiqi was running ahead when she accidentally tripped and fell flat on her face.

Chen An'an laughed so hard she almost fell over, and her laughter eventually made the shy Mo Qiqi cry.

Mo Qiqi's biggest misfortune is probably having a roommate like her; her family must be well-off.

After all, most families wouldn't buy underwear that costs 800 yuan a pair.

However, her good qualities were completely negated in front of Chen An'an.

Whenever I try to show off, she laughs at me for not having any meat on my butt.

"Chen An'an, don't go too far."

"No way, you fell down yourself, so I can't laugh."

Mo Qiqi ignored her; it was no use acknowledging her. That's just how outrageous An the Great Witch is.

Boys and girls in their rebellious phase are often like this; they don't care about your dignity.

They'll make a huge fuss about your wounds.

Chen An'an was alright; she just didn't like girls dating too early, and she especially disliked Mo Qiqi, who even flaunted her underwear.

Compared to her, Erpiya was the real little devil in the class.

In her eyes, there is no limit to how outrageous things can get.

Her grades have consistently remained among the best, and that hasn't changed.

However, after Shen Xiaoyu and An Xiaoxiao were recruited by her, no one in the class has ever been as good as her.

Isn't that a bit unpleasant?
Of the two women and one man, perhaps only Chen Lu seems like an honest person.

He is only two and a half years old, not yet three, and he likes to play with a cute little girl in his class who has rosy cheeks.

He would even stick to her every day, following her wherever she went.

The little girl is pretty and adorable, and her name is also lovely: Su Xiaoxi.

Her parents are also real estate developers, and their family is also very well-off.

In terms of personality, she does resemble her older sister Chen An'an in some ways.

Every time we took out the candy to share, it was always one portion for you and one portion for me, or one portion for you and two portions for me.

Chen Lu was timid, and watching action movies didn't help. He was always protected by Su Xiaoxi in class and especially liked playing with her.

That's roughly how March goes.

With his daughters all in school, Chen Pingsheng had to attend various meetings while also managing various affairs at the group headquarters.

The secretary, Tang Jing, picked things up quickly and was able to handle a lot of tasks.

When Lian Changfu called headquarters to invite him for drinks, Tang Jing answered and immediately said he was too busy.

Chang Fu was also quite frustrated. He had finally started a business in traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy, but he was overwhelmed by the pressure from Song Yanxi's Tongxin Family.

In addition, Gao Hu has also returned to Shanghai. He is too ashamed to stay in Guangzhou. Xiao Chun has already found a new boyfriend and is preparing to get married.

What's the point of him staying there?

Gao Hu has always been restricted from high-end consumption; he can't even take airplanes or high-speed trains, which is quite miserable for him.

A few classmates came from Shacheng, and Changfu originally wanted to invite Chen Pingsheng to come out for drinks.

Tang Jing directly said he was busy, so he had no chance to ask for help. Usually, Old Chen's phone was switched off during meetings so he wouldn't be disturbed.

Gao Hu is extremely confused right now. According to the predictions of the Tengying Group Economic Research Institute, the catering industry will be the least suitable industry for investment in the next five years.

What do you mean?
With such a great reputation, Fei Yang Yang is still the ceiling for affordable restaurants in large stores.

As a result of the impact of just one city, the net income almost fell into the deficit every month.

How can you still run a restaurant?

If Gao Hu wants to make quick money, the best way is actually through live-streaming e-commerce.

Chang Fu didn't mention this, but Gao Hu himself realized it.

Live-streaming e-commerce is a low-cost, high-return entrepreneurial project, it's just that it's not very respectable in their circle.

Just think about it, they've all made it this far, and you're still going to become an internet celebrity and do live-streaming e-commerce.

Isn’t it embarrassing?
Gao Hu doesn't have many options now; after turning down Friends, he doesn't know what to do next.

Given his status, he still has certain advantages in doing live-streaming e-commerce.

After all, who hasn't dined at Fei Yang Yang Restaurant? And he is the founder of that restaurant, a down-on-his-luck, domineering CEO.

With such a title, the starting point won't be low, and if you do well, earning tens of millions a year shouldn't be a problem.

Gao Hu never imagined that one day he would become an internet celebrity and even do live-streaming e-commerce.

This is truly a case of one wrong step leading to another.

Among the students who came to Shanghai was Zhang Wei, who worked as a hairdresser in Shacheng.

He was actually living a pretty good life, but it was only after arriving in Jinshan that his eyes were opened.

I never imagined that any of my classmates would achieve such results.

Every building in this area that you can see belongs to Chen Pingsheng.

Compared to his achievements, his few insignificant hair salons are nothing.

As for the hairdressing industry, it's often said that children from poor families have three treasures.

Hairdressing, auto repair, catering.

These three industries are also the ones that rural students who drop out of school early are most likely to come into contact with.

Auto repair has the highest average income, followed by catering, and then hairdressing.

The absurdity of hairdressing lies in the fact that after three years of apprenticeship and five years of work, one may appear dashing on the outside, but their pockets are completely empty.

I've been a hairdresser for five years, working more than 13 hours a day, with an average salary of around 5000.

This is truly outrageous.

Zhang Wei came here hoping to get some advice from his old classmate to help his small business take another step forward.

This was far too easy for Lao Chen.

The same applies to Changfu. If he needs Lao Chen's help with even this small matter, then his time is worthless.

Although Chang Fu left Tengying Group, he left in a way that was different from Gao Hu's.

His connections within Tencent Film Group are still intact, especially with Tencent Media and Xinteng Live.

Those all belong to his direct network of contacts.

Even a small amount of resources at hand can help Zhang Wei solve his problem.

The fastest way to revive a small shop or business right now is undoubtedly to become popular on short videos.

As long as this sector becomes popular, the traffic business will inevitably make a fortune.

Oh... even with high customer traffic, a hair salon only makes a small profit.

A haircut only costs a few dozen yuan. How much money could you possibly make if you cut hair all day long?

Chen Pingsheng arrived rather late; he had gone home after a meeting before coming over.
