The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Er Ya has gone to Hong Kong to prepare for childbirth.

They are the only ones left in the family who still live in the urban village.

However, towards the end of June, my younger sister Chen Qi also moved to Shenzhen.

She also brought her son, Hu Qilin, with her, while her brother-in-law, Hu Lin, stayed in Shanghai to work as a teacher.

Hu Qilin also graduated from university. Chen Pingsheng originally wanted him to take the civil service exam, just like his older sister's two children.

A career in government would be quite good in the future.

However, Hu Qilin's father was not optimistic about his career path, perhaps because he knew that Hu Qilin was not the kind of person who was particularly tactful.

The younger sister, Chen Qi, moved to Pengcheng hoping to be closer to Chen Pingsheng and make her son's future path smoother.

Chen Qi herself is already very wealthy, and Hu Qilin, being raised by her, doesn't have much of a spoiled brat attitude.

He inherited one trait from his father, Hu Lin: he likes to get stuck on things and is very stubborn.

For example, he might like a girl in college and always think that if he hangs around her a lot, she will definitely like him back.

Unexpectedly, the girl fell in love with another rich second-generation.

My family's circumstances are not as good as theirs.

Hu Qilin was furious for a long time because of this, and in the end, a scene even unfolded on campus where two rich young men were vying for the same campus belle.

Hu Qilin even went so far as to bring up his own mother and uncle at the university.

Chen Pingsheng's influence in Shanghai is unparalleled.

The title of the number one wealthy family in Shanghai still belongs to him to this day.

The parents of the school beauty's boyfriend actually brought their son to apologize to Hu Qilin.

He even gave up the school beauty, which is why Hu Qilin finally won her heart.

From beginning to end, neither of them asked the school beauty for her opinion.

She was like a commodity, passed from one rich second-generation heir to another, even richer one.

Hu Qilin thus became famous at Shanghai University.

Everyone knows he has an incredibly powerful maternal uncle, and no second-generation rich kid dares to compete with him for a woman.

But Hu Qilin, after snatching the girl away, started complaining that she had a boyfriend before and didn't even know if she had slept with him.

The two broke up in less than a week, and the girl's reputation was completely ruined on campus.

Those with money wouldn't dare approach her, and those without money wouldn't accept her.

Chen Pingsheng was unaware of this matter. Hu Qilin might be a decent person at heart, but he had one major flaw: he had to snatch anything he liked.

Chen Qi's only child, who grew up calling him "uncle," is from a family with such a privileged background that it's easy for him to develop such an arrogant and self-centered personality.

His father, Hu Lin, often talked to him, but Hu Qilin didn't listen to his father at all.

The main problem is that Hu Lin has no status at home. Whenever something happens and Hu Lin is asked to resolve it, he will first ask for the reason, then apologize if necessary, and scold him if necessary.

Because of this, Hu Qilin felt that his father was weak and incompetent, and that he couldn't even compare to his own mother, let alone his uncle.

Hu Lin had lived this life of being a live-in son-in-law for decades, but he never expected it would still have an impact on his son after he grew up.

The younger sister, Chen Qi, knew why her older brother had moved to the urban village, and she also kept a very low profile when she moved there.

He even brought Hu Qilin along to visit him.

"Brother... Qilin just graduated. Do you think it's better for him to start his own business, or work for your company for a few years first?"

"Let him work for a few years first, but don't come to my group. Let him find a company to gain experience first."

"Brother, Chen Lu went to Tengfei AI, right? It would be good if you could get them both into the same company."

Chen Qi knew what kind of personality her son had. What if he went to work for another company and fell for a pretty female colleague or boss?

He's probably about to reveal his identity and pursue her right away. She's quite helpless about this; she's told him several times, but Hu Qilin just hasn't changed.

It would be different if he went to his uncle's company. If he liked someone, he wouldn't dare to force them even if he revealed his identity.

If they dared to force him, his uncle could really kick him out of the country.

She will also have to go abroad.

For families like theirs, going abroad is as commonplace as eating a meal.

"Forget it, Chen Lu is adapting quite well over there. If your son goes there, he'll probably want to be the crown prince before long."

Hu Qilin held a very high position in the Chen family. His eldest sister had no sons, and he only gained his status because he took his father's surname, Hu. Otherwise, his status would have been even higher.

When Chen Qi and Hu Lin got married, Peng Ying mentioned several times that their future children would take the mother's surname.

It's because Hu Lin himself has nothing.

In the end, Chen Qi herself disagreed, probably because Hu Lin had treated her the same way for decades.

She never imagined that her own son would one day regret having the surname Hu.

Hu Qilin was quite cute when he was a child, but he has developed quite a few problems as he grew up.

He also has some of the pride of a second-generation rich kid, and this pride won't allow him to let someone take away the woman he likes.

"Isn't it?"

Chen Qi grabbed Chen Pingsheng's arm and shook it twice, saying, "Qilin listens to you the most, his uncle. If you're willing to take care of him, he'll definitely have a brighter future."

"Give me a break. Children need to be nurtured from a young age. Once they grow up, their nature is already formed, even solidified. What's the point of teaching them then?"

Chen Pingsheng knew more or less about Hu Qilin, which is why he didn't intend to train him.

To put it bluntly, he was someone even his own father, who raised him, could look down upon.

Such a person is likely to be ungrateful in the future. If this were ancient times, and his family were to suffer a misfortune, Hu Qilin would definitely be the first to choose to betray his family.

Blaming heaven and earth, blaming his own parents for being useless.

He's capable of training people like that, don't be ridiculous.

Chen Pingsheng used to really like helping his younger sister, whether it was opening her shop or running the cheongsam group she's in now.

It can be said that he personally helped them all get back on their feet.

But Hu Qilin is different; his heart is corrupted. His best option is actually to lie down and accept his fate like Chen Lu.

As long as he doesn't start a business or engage in reckless behavior, Hu Qilin can surpass at least 80% of the second-generation rich.

It's a pity, it seems that the younger sister Chen Qi is determined to make her son a dragon.

No matter how many resources are allocated, we hope that Hu Qilin can, like his uncle, create his own success.

Only in this way can we live up to her expectations and the training she has received all along.

Chen Pingsheng told Hu Qilin to find a company to work for a few years, actually because he wanted to temper his temperament.

Unfortunately, not only did his younger sister not listen, but Hu Qilin himself was also extremely unwilling.

His future path will most likely lead him to become a super spendthrift.

Chen Pingsheng wasn't too worried, mainly because money was the last thing he needed right now.

No matter how much Hu Qilin loses, he will never be defeated by him.

If my younger sister Chen Qi has exhausted her family's wealth because of her son, then I'll just give her a shop to be a landlord.

If you can't hold on between these ups and downs, then that's fate.

He has tried to change his little sister's fate time and time again. If she still fails, then it can only be said that this is fate.
