The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chapter 24 Going Home to Show Off
The May Day holiday isn't even over yet.

Song Yanxi got up very early because she was taking Xiao An'an back to her parents' home.

That smug look in his eyes was practically written all over his forehead.

Chen Pingsheng said to her, "It's just a new car, is it really worth staying up all night thinking about showing off?"

"Absolutely, absolutely."

Song Yanxi had gotten ready early and dressed Xiao An'an in a newly bought princess dress.

With her chubby little figure, she looks absolutely adorable in this pink dress.

She had two small braids tied in her hair, one on each side.

"An'an, go to your grandma's house with your mom today and show them off. Let them see that even a casual dress of yours costs over a thousand yuan."

With improved family circumstances, it's natural to raise a daughter who is both well-off and privileged.

Chen An'an nodded firmly.

She doesn't understand the adult world, but she knows the world of children.

She probably understood what showing off meant.

Basically, it's asking: Do you have any pocket money today?
Have.

How many?

piece.

You only have one dollar? I have two. You don't deserve to be my friend.

Chen Pingsheng was helpless; his wife was truly something else.

According to her, buying a Porsche and not showing it off to her parents' home would be like wearing fine clothes in the dark.

I feel uncomfortable all over.

Who told her that her snobbish mother always looked down on her man?

This time, we're going to give them a good slap in the face.

The mother and daughter naturally wanted to drive their newly purchased Panamera.

It has to be said that this car is truly unrivaled among coupes of the same class.

The seats are automatically heated, and acceleration is as easy as stepping on the gas. The feeling of sitting inside is something that the Audi A4 can't compare to.

They're on completely different levels.

Liu Fen lives in an old neighborhood within the Third Ring Road.

A significant portion of the houses here were built as compensation for demolition.

During the May Day holiday, Song Wu invited two classmates, both from Beijing, to her home.

Liu Fen naturally went to the market early, and waited for her to return with the groceries.

I happened to come across a white Panamera with a temporary license plate.

Song Yanxi took off her sunglasses and gave Xiao An'an a meaningful look, which the little guy immediately understood.

Press down the window next to you.

"grandmother."

Her voice is soft and sweet, quite adorable.

Liu Fen was riding an electric bike; the market wasn't far, and an electric bike was more convenient.

"An'an, what brings you here?"

Liu Fen stopped and greeted her before looking at the white luxury car.

After parking the car, Song Yanxi got out with Xiao An'an. "Mom, we have guests. Why did you buy so much food?"

"Your sister brought a few classmates over, shouldn't I buy some more food to treat them?"

As she spoke, Liu Fen kept staring at the new car she was driving.

"What's going on with you? Whose car did you drive here?"

"My dad's."

Little An'an eagerly answered, her face beaming with pride.

"Your dad's?" Liu Fen asked in surprise. "Chen Pingsheng bought a Porsche?"

"Yes, I paid in full yesterday."

Wow... my goodness, even her out-of-town son-in-law drives a Porsche?

Her mother-in-law has been kept in the dark all along; no, she must be seriously criticized.

Liu Fen said seriously, "Yanxi, take advantage of the holiday to inform the relatives in the neighborhood to come to our house for dinner. We should have a proper meal together."

What do you mean?
It turns out her mother wanted all the relatives to know immediately.

Sima Zhao's intentions are obvious to everyone. Song Yanxi stopped playing those little tricks and suggested, "Mom, Pingsheng is really amazing. Even though you talked about him like that before, he never got angry with you. I came here this time to invite you to my house for a meal."

"Come on, let's wait until he actually buys a big house in Beijing."

If she, as his mother-in-law, were to come and apologize, a secondhand Panamera wouldn't be enough.

If it were a big house within the Third Ring Road, she wouldn't mind slapping herself twice.

Besides, she has already changed her opinion of him, but she just can't bring herself to admit her mistake and apologize right away.

After all, she was her own mother, so Song Yanxi couldn't say anything.

When she returned home, Song Wu was very welcoming to her older sister.

And she also really likes Xiao An'an.

"Sister, aren't you busy over there?"

"How could that be?" Song Yanxi replied, "The second store is still having a big promotion, making hundreds of thousands every day. I'm not as free as you think."

Song Wu asked curiously, "Then why did you suddenly come home today?"

"She's here to show off."

As someone who raised her own daughter, Liu Fen could tell what she was thinking just by the way she lifted her butt. Without hesitation, she exposed her: "Chen Pingsheng bought a Panamera, and your sister drove it over specifically to show it to us."

"What? Didn't your family buy the Audi just for Chinese New Year?"

“That’s my mom’s, and this is my dad’s.”

Little An'an is very good at stealing the spotlight. We're all family, so it's no big deal if her little tricks get exposed.

Song Wu was quite shocked and didn't come to her senses for a long time.

Surprisingly, her unassuming brother-in-law from out of town was selling durians on the street in a tricycle last year.

This year, he's opened a fruit shop and set up a headquarters with a cold storage facility, acting like a big boss.

What's more, in less than six months, he actually bought another Porsche in full.

Is he really going to make a fortune?
"I've been saying your family is buying this and that, but when are you finally going to buy a house?"

This is what Liu Fen cares about most.

Cars are just a means of transportation; home is the true haven.

"Not urgent."

After Song Yanxi and Chen An'an sat down on the sofa, she said calmly:

He has never wanted to buy an off-plan property and he doesn't know how to do installment payments. At the latest, around July, we will buy a 200-square-meter apartment in Beixin with cash.

"Full payment?"

Liu Fen's eyes widened like a bull's: "Song Yanxi, do you know how much a house in Beijing costs in full? I suspect you're doing stand-up comedy? It's a loss for the Spring Festival Gala that they didn't invite you."

"What's the big deal? If it weren't for the fact that Ping Sheng invested five million in making a TV series, our family could have paid for it in full right now."

Ignoring her mother's sarcastic remarks, Song Yanxi replied directly.

"Huh?" Liu Fen didn't react at first, and Song Wu was even more confused, as if she were listening to gibberish.

"He invested in TV dramas, how come I didn't know?"

Song Yanxi rolled her eyes at her sister with dissatisfaction: "When he went to move before, he met a girl who was an extra. She lived next door to me. Later, he followed her and worked as an extra for a few days. He also met a pretty good director, I think his name was Yang Jiancheng."

“He had a really good script, but he was five million short of starting filming. Your brother-in-law just invested the money and specifically named my neighbor Zhao Liying as the lead actress.”

"Sis, are you really my sister?"

Song Wu grabbed her arm and shook it. "Don't you know your sister goes to an arts school? I'm about to graduate now, why didn't you tell me about this opportunity?"

Thinking back to those days when I had to put on a smile and be polite to get the role going...

She was on the verge of tears.

I did get a few opportunities, but those stinky men all secretly handed me a little card.

The meaning is clear: if you want a role, let me see what you're capable of first.

Her breasts weren't small, but they weren't particularly large either.

Once you do something like this, it's very difficult to turn back.

Just when she was in a state of extreme anxiety, her older sister came over and told her that her brother-in-law had already invested in a TV series.

What does this mean? He's become a real producer, huh?

Whoever they want to be the protagonist, that's who they can be.

Have you ever addressed him respectfully as "brother-in-law"?

Song Yanxi's words were calm, but they left Song Wu completely dumbfounded.
