The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

There are many things to do at home.

Chen Pingsheng could no longer attend to every aspect of life. Just like with so many children across three generations, he only kept Xiao Jiye by his side.

He was accompanied by his parents for the rest of the time, and by mid-September, he went to university as usual.

Chen Jiye is still in his second year of high school. He has many girls who like him, but so far, none of them have come into his own interest.

When he goes to university, he might even end up at the same school as Chen Pingsheng.

His younger sister, Chen Qi, often visits his home. Her son, Hu Qilin, is now the owner of a small to medium-sized company.

I recently developed a crush on a female celebrity. She was unfaithful before she got married, but she settled down for a while after marriage. Now she's in a similar situation to Chen Lu.

The sons of wealthy families mostly follow this path; very few are able to consistently control their desires.

Chen Qi didn't care about any of that; she just really disliked dating female celebrities.

It can easily bring controversy and increased media exposure.

It can be said that the most difficult thing to avoid in the future development of the family is this kind of character problem.

Chen Pingsheng has now changed his training strategy, now focusing on raising more children across three generations, prioritizing the best.

As for the others who aren't particularly outstanding, they'll either live their lives as wealthy young masters.

Either live a quiet and leisurely life as a nobleman for the rest of your life.

This is quite different from the training standards he set earlier; everything is just being adjusted in a timely manner.

By the time Gao Hu arrived in Shanghai, it was already clear that he was nearing the end of his life.

His son, Gao Feng, has squandered over 90% of his fortune over the years and also incurs considerable debt.

Gao Feng is the typical type who is both incompetent and loves to tinker.

Unlike his father, who enjoyed chasing after women, Gao Feng had been working hard ever since graduating from university.

The result of his efforts was quite touching; the wealth that Gao Hu had accumulated over a lifetime was basically wiped out by his time.

It's really not suitable for the rich kids to work too hard. They could have lived a carefree life as the third generation, but now that life ends at the second generation.

The only things left in the family are those two houses in Guangzhou, but houses are no longer considered particularly valuable assets.

Gao Hu is old. Chang Fu left him before him, and now he is leaving too.

His only worry was his son, Gao Feng, so he came to find Chen Pingsheng to ask for a final promise before he died.

"Old Chen, we grew up together and started a business together. Now I'm leaving before you."

"You're not planning to go to Hong Kong for a blood or organ transplant?"

"There's no need for that."

Gao Hu shook his head and said, "It's good that you're leaving like this. My good-for-nothing son can only be relied upon to be taken care of by you in the future."

"can."

Chen Pingsheng agreed, but he had conditions: "Your son has proven over ten years that he is not suited for entrepreneurship, much less for running a company. In the future, I will give him one million yuan a month for living expenses. As for your grandson, no matter how much it is, I will arrange five hundred thousand yuan a month for him after he comes of age."

"In that case, thank you very much."

Gao Hu and his son kowtowed to Chen Pingsheng to express their gratitude. With Chen Pingsheng's words, the Gao family would be wealthy for three generations.

As for the fourth generation, his silence was tantamount to no promise.

He couldn't control what happened in the fourth generation, nor would he live to see that day.

When Gao Hu left again, not a single one of his brothers who had been close to him remained.

The hardest thing for people to accept when they get old is loneliness, especially watching the people around them leave one by one.

That feeling will only become more and more pronounced.

It can even create an absurd sense of a life countdown.

Gao Hu passed away in mid-November, a natural death. Chen Pingsheng rushed to Shacheng to attend his farewell ceremony.

Gao Hu's life was full of ups and downs, experiencing setbacks and lows, until he finally settled down in his later years. He lived a simple life with Xiao Chun, and now that he's gone, he can say he has few regrets.

Chen Pingsheng fulfilled his promise to him and independently set up an adoption fund for Gao Feng.

He would receive one million every month until the day he died.

As for his children, they will receive 500,000 yuan per month after they turn 18.

He had finally fulfilled his last duty of loyalty to his brother.

Another Spring Festival has arrived, and the entire Chen family has gathered at the Jinshan Super Villa in Shanghai.

With many children at home, the house was lively, and Chen Pingsheng enjoyed playing some childish games with them.

For example, one person is fishing for sharks, while another is fighting over a cake.

Two more years passed, and Jiye successfully gained admission to the university where his grandfather worked.

Chen Wuyou has grown to 15 years old; she was born in the same year as Chen Youcai.

Both of them moved from outside to Shanghai to attend high school.

As for Chen Wuyou's younger brother and Chen Youcai's younger sister, they are both still in junior high school.

Leaving aside An'an's eldest son, Sun Sile, Jiye is the eldest grandson among the three generations.

The whole family knew that he was the person on whom his grandfather placed his high hopes.

His future is destined to be extraordinary, but no one can say for sure how it will develop.

September 2051, under a blazing sun.

Chen Jiye carried a large suitcase in his left hand and a snakeskin bag in his right, and his hair was still a little long.

The bus announced that Shanghai University had arrived at its stop, and he hurriedly got off.

Quite a few students came to register in the same car as him, and next to him was a pretty girl who looked at everything with curiosity.

Her name is Ning Jing, and she is timid just like her name suggests. She has just arrived in Shanghai from a small town.

When Chen Jiye finished his senior year of high school, he went to the mountains alone and farmed there for two months. It was there that he met Ning Jing, who was timid, afraid of trouble, and curious about everything.

The two of them happened to get into the same university, which is quite a wonderful twist of fate.

Chen Jiye quite liked Ning Jing's kind and naive nature. Besides, he had promised Ning Jing's parents that he would help them take care of her when he left.

The two of them took the train together and then the bus together to Shanghai University.

They were ridiculed by many classmates, mainly because their clothes were too ordinary.

It is out of place in a bustling metropolis like Shanghai.

On the first day of registration, Chen Jiye first took Ning Jing to her dormitory and then helped her make up her mattress and pillows.

Ning Jing only knew him in Shanghai, so their relationship was naturally much closer than with most people.

"Brother Jiye, I'm all set here. I'll help you carry your things to the dorm."

"It's okay, I can go by myself."

"How can that be? You've helped me so much already, let me carry the burlap sack for you."

"Alright."

Chen Jiye knew her personality; if he didn't ask for her help this time, she would never bother him again.

The boys' dormitory was much more lively. Chen Jiye was born into a wealthy family, but he did not want to be too extravagant during his university years.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be staying in the dormitory.

He knew that his grandfather worked at this university and was extremely famous.
