The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chapter 699 The Young Lady Returns

March has passed, and April 1st is April Fool's Day.

A holiday that only young people pay attention to, some people confessed their love on this day and were even scolded.

Of course, some people also use this holiday to tell the truth while pretending.

Chen An'an has less than three months left until her college entrance examination.

As the days went by, the atmosphere in Class 2 of Senior Three became increasingly tense.

Jiang Tang, who could have gotten into Tsinghua or Peking University, can only aim for 211 or 985 universities now.

An'an certainly doesn't have the ability to get into Tsinghua or Peking University. Getting into a decent 211 or 985 university would already be considered a great success.

After letting go of the stubbornness she had since childhood, Jiang Tang's grades dropped, which her teachers found very regrettable. However, she started living more for herself.

To be honest, the fate of many ordinary people is already predetermined.

The roads have even been planned.

Breaking through the established class structure is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Ten years ago, this might have been possible, but now, for good students like Jiang Tang, the best future path is to work for families like theirs.

Their family has always planned to become a century-old family business, and their goals have long since expanded beyond simply making money and doing business.

An'an gave up all her free time and focused on preparing for the college entrance examination. Nothing major happened in April.

The only major event was that Chen Pingsheng personally used over 100 billion yuan to repurchase a significant amount of shares in Tengfei New Energy Vehicles and Tengde Times.

He currently owns over 42% of each share.

We won't be doing much to it in the next few years.

Apart from these, everything else is operating normally.

Time flew by and it was May. During the May Day holiday, Erpiya actually invited a few female classmates to go to Chengdu together.

They are all second-generation rich kids.

Although she doesn't care whether her friends are rich or not, she knows that someone whose family doesn't have any capital can't get along with Erpiya.

It can quickly lead to feelings of inferiority, or even a questioning of life itself.

This is due to Erpiya's upbringing and her own personal habits, which is the biggest difference between her and her sister.

It's probably because she never hides her identity as the second princess of a wealthy family, nor does she take the initiative to care about how others are doing.

She went to Chengdu because her sister had also been there once before and spent over 200 million yuan to buy a top-tier luxury mansion.

Erpiya not only bought a luxury house in the past, but also a medium-sized yacht worth more than 90 million.

And a whole bunch of expensive items are displayed in the house.

Her family has long been used to her spending habits, so naturally they won't say anything to her.

She stayed in Chengdu for four or five days before returning, and then took her classmates to see the seven-star hotel built by her family on two mountains.

The investment exceeds 40 billion yuan, and it will take five years to complete everything from planning to design.

Once completed, it will definitely be the most luxurious hotel in Shanghai. Except for the top floor, which will not be open to the public, the rest will be used to generate revenue.

After the hotel was built, it was confirmed that it would be registered under her own name, so Erpiya would come to visit it regularly.

By June, with the college entrance exams approaching, Chen An'an finally relaxed completely.

Prepare to face the college entrance examination with the best mindset.

The whole family cheered her on, just like her.

During the last three days of the college entrance examination, her whole family came to see her take the exam.

The moment she finally emerged from the exam hall, Chen An'an happily threw down her backpack and jumped half a meter high, exclaiming:

"I, Chen An'an, have finally finished the college entrance examination."

"Welcome Princess An'an, you have officially completed your college entrance examination."

Shen Youwei and Zhao Yingying also brought most of the senior executives and employees of Anle Group, who had grown up with her, to hold a welcome ceremony for her.

In June 2025, Chen An'an successfully overcame the most important hurdle in her life.

By the time she came out of the exam room, the result was no longer important to her.

This confidence comes from her family.

She was almost eighteen when she finished her senior year of high school.

Chen Pingsheng bought him a custom-made luxury car, a white Aston Martin One-77.

国内售价在4700万，搭载7.3L V12发动机，拥有760匹的功率与750牛米的扭矩，百公里加速时间为3.5秒。

Driving a luxury car like this is what true speed and passion are all about.

An'an can drive now; it was very easy for her family to get a driver's license.

After a year of tension, Chen Pingsheng asked her what her plans were for the future.

An'an said, "Dad, I want to relax in Shanghai for a while, and after that, I'll go sightseeing with my classmates."

Chen An'an really had a tough year.

With all his energy focused on preparing for the college entrance examination, he had no time to manage his Anle Group, let alone have fun.

Once everything is over, all she wants is to relax.

Let's see just how far this young lady from the Tengying Group can go in her antics.

In late June, Chen An'an reunited with her former teenage band in Shanghai.

On the 25th, An An will hold her solo "Perfect Adolescence" concert at the largest stadium in Shanghai.

When she got to college, she was no longer a teenage girl.

In late June, Chen An'an bought the largest nightclub in Shanghai and renamed it the Adolescence Graduation Bar.

She then announced in Shanghai that she, Chen An'an, would treat everyone who graduated from high school to a month of meals.

She paid for everything.

Chen An'an herself also had a great time partying here, but she didn't stay for very long.

She had absolutely no interest in bars.

At the end of June, she chartered a world-class cruise ship, which then docked in Shanghai.

They announced that they would spend one billion yuan to take six thousand of the most ordinary working people in Shanghai on a month-long sea voyage around the world.

To be honest, although An An used to spend a lot of money frequently, she never did it like this before.

It's like revenge spending; in just half a month, they've spent nearly two billion yuan of their household's wealth.

Chen Pingsheng did not stop her, and this was also a sign that she was growing up.

His daughter is fully entitled to make that purchase.

On July 1st, Chen An'an pulled off something big in Shanghai.

It was announced that Anle Group would be in charge of the open selection of 100 ordinary angels in Shanghai.

Voting will be conducted publicly online, and all choices will be limited to the most ordinary jobs and the most ordinary workers.

She wants to reward each person with ten million yuan, no fluff, just real money.

Even Erpiya is now certain that her sister is definitely engaging in retaliatory spending.

The entire meal was paid for by the family.

No matter how much funding her sister applies for, or what outrageous ideas she has, the family will always give her their full support.

She wished she could do that too, but she got beaten up as soon as she opened her mouth.

Life is truly unpredictable, like a large intestine enclosing a small intestine.

No matter how rich a family is, they can't be allowed to spend billions of dollars every month.

This is only appropriate during special moments in life, such as right after the college entrance examination.

After several major events, those in the know understood that this was the high school graduation of the Tengying Group's eldest daughter, who had never shown her face before.

Some online sources have even gone so far as to say that this is preparation for live-streaming e-commerce.

Countless people are too disdainful to even bother to comment.

Spending billions to prepare for live-streaming e-commerce, you actually dare to think of that?

Don't they know that most of the live-streaming e-commerce hosts on the internet are actually employees of their family?

A true heiress would definitely look down on the influencer profession, and would never show her face in public for the sake of so-called traffic. July 5th.

Chen An'an made her final request to her family, saying she wanted to open twelve restaurants catering to people from other places in Shanghai.

It provides a small haven for outsiders who are not valued by the locals.

These twelve restaurants catering to outsiders require investment under the name of Anle Group, and then provide free buffets for ten years.

To get a table, you only need to meet three conditions: be an outsider, or be a worker in an ordinary, unassuming job.

And the last thing is... to be filial.

This is actually quite difficult to assess, but Chen An'an is grateful for her father's many years of dedication and upbringing.

That's why I brought it up specifically.

This kind of intangible investment, which is not subject to many restrictions, is the most difficult to measure in terms of cost.

Because ten years may not seem like a long time, but it's the time for twelve free, super-sized buffet restaurants for outsiders.

Heaven knows how many migrant workers we can accommodate every day.

No finance professional could possibly calculate such costs accurately.

Chen Pingsheng still agreed to do it for his daughter.

Regardless of the cost, they have the financial capacity to bear it.

It will not add too much burden as a result.

On July 6th, Chen An'an attended a sports car event hosted by top socialites and princesses in Shanghai.

After a few matches, he felt bored and left, never participating again.

On July 7th, she hosted another high-society party at her father's exclusive private club.

It has been officially announced that Chen An'an has returned to her status as a top princess in Shanghai and will take over a series of listed companies in the future.

Without realizing it, that mischievous, naughty, and unruly little kid has become...

She has now become the de facto princess of Shanghai.

The top socialites, no matter how rich you are, you can't beat their family.

By July 8th, after nearly a month of extravagant spending, hosting numerous socialite parties, and fulfilling some of her own desires, she had finally achieved her goal.

Chen An'an formally proposed to her family that she wanted to go on a road trip to Baiyun District in Guangzhou with Jiang Tang.

She will spend this road trip from summer vacation until university.

This time, she didn't drive her own white Aston Martin worth over 40 million.

Instead, they drove a huge, specially customized Brabus G-Class, priced at around 80 million.

Its main features are its large size, high safety, and exceptional comfort!

For long-distance travel, a large vehicle like this is naturally more comfortable to drive.

With sunglasses on and her long hair flowing, Chen An'an doesn't look like a daughter who's just grown up.

But my daughter is already grown up!
Chen Pingsheng watched her leave his home with a sense of relief. His daughter had grown up and would no longer be so dependent on her father; she would have her own life.

They will also have their own lives and their own love stories.

Even as Chen An'an embarked on her long journey, he still arranged for two bodyguard vehicles to follow her from a distance, ensuring they wouldn't disturb her life and would only appear when she needed them most.

Song Yanxi stood next to him and said, "Honey, I didn't expect An'an to be going to university so soon. Do you think she'll find a boyfriend in university, or maybe she'll find a reliable man like you?"

"University is the best haven for young people. It's a pity that we didn't experience it. But when Tengying University of Science and Technology is built, we can probably go there to be teachers when we get old and serve as life mentors for these young people."

He definitely can't teach the majors taught at the University of Science and Technology.

However, being a teacher is still no problem. It's the same An'an who used to play the erhu and beg for money with a big gold bowl.

In the end, he embarked on his own life journey.

No one knows what the future holds, and Chen Pingsheng has already taught her almost everything he could.

She has to walk the rest of the road by herself.

After a brief month of experiencing life as a pampered princess in Shanghai, An An still followed the path of life she preferred.

Chen Pingsheng knew that she didn't like hanging out with those socialites in Shanghai, and she disliked the boring life of those rich kids who would drive around in luxury cars all the time.

An An likes to be unrestrained and free.

What they pursue is to do as they please and be content with whatever comes their way.

Her journey south may hold many fascinating stories for her, but whether these stories will move her remains a big question mark.

The road trip from Shanghai to Guangdong covered a total of 1400 kilometers.

The route also passes through Zhejiang, Guangxi, and Guangdong provinces.

This is also Chen An'an's longest road trip to date; she has actually been driving for a long time.

Given their family circumstances, this skill is naturally relatively simple to acquire.

This road trip was both a life experience and a journey through life.

It was her own journey through adolescence and into the ivory tower of university.

Knowing that she was going to Guangzhou, Anle Group moved its headquarters to Baiyun District, Guangzhou ahead of schedule.

They also spent 3.2 billion yuan to buy a 38-story headquarters building in Baiyun District.

The Guangdong headquarters of Anle Group.

Once the young lady arrives, she will be the true president of Baiyun Anle Group.

Jiang Tang was the only one who accompanied her while driving. Even though Jiang Tang's grades had dropped significantly in her senior year of high school, she still felt no pressure getting into the same university as her.

Their first stop was Zhejiang.

There are a few places I'll be visiting in Zhejiang, one of which is West Lake in Hangzhou.

Go and see the love story of the White Snake Lady under Leifeng Pagoda.

There's a saying that goes, "Even if Lady White Snake poured out a whole river of water to flood Jinshan Temple, she couldn't save her beloved."

However, after her son became the top scholar in the imperial examination and gained power, he easily persuaded Fahai to release Bai Suzhen, who was imprisoned under Leifeng Pagoda.

This is the story of power.

Hangzhou is not only about West Lake, but also about the era of Alibaba, the internet e-commerce giant.

It takes about four hours to get from Shanghai to Zhejiang.

Chen An'an doesn't like driving for long periods of time, so she stopped for half an hour to rest.

By the time she arrived at West Lake in Hangzhou, it was already dusk.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on West Lake, and the shimmering water exudes a strange romance.

After parking the car, Chen An'an planned to stay in Hangzhou for three days.

We also need to visit the thousand-year-old Lingyin Temple to experience the Zen atmosphere and the Feilai Peak.

In addition, she also wants to experience the tea culture of Longjing Village.

Then we went to Qiandao Lake to take a boat tour of the numerous small islands.

West Lake in Hangzhou was her first stop on her journey south.

There are so many young people here, and not only young people, but also elderly people who come out for a walk in the evening.

With his graying hair, he strolled along the West Lake with his wife.

Perhaps in twenty years, her parents will end up like this.

Chen An'an has witnessed the best kind of love, but it wasn't the passion of youth.

It was not a momentary impulse.

Rather, it is the unwavering support, mutual respect, and understanding that have remained constant throughout the years.

She longs to find a love story like her father and mother's, and she will also use the money in her hands.

I offer my sincerest blessings.

Whether one is ordinary or wealthy, it is this kind of love story of holding hands and growing old together that is most touching.

After graduating from high school, Chen An'an began to dream of having her own love story.
