The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chapter 5 The Wife's Worries

[Ding! Your income for today is 2,000 yuan.]

[Enable random multiplication?]

"Start"

On the way to pick up his wife, this golden touch did not disappoint. The moment he received the two thousand yuan reward, a line of golden words appeared in front of him.

There were those two gleaming little golden dice again, and Chen Pingsheng was still fantasizing about rolling two fives at the same time.

That's ten times, almost 20,000!

The first die stopped rolling; instead of a five, a four was rolled.

A slight smile played on his lips; he was lucky.

The second die also stopped rolling, revealing the middle number three.

It is also not a decimal.

[Congratulations, host! You have received a random seven-fold boost.]

[Your Alipay account received 14,000 yuan, leaving a balance of 14,500 yuan.]

Tsk... I have to shake my shoulders three times.

There's no other reason than simply being happy.

With this income, he'll be able to buy a house soon.

Then I can have sex with my wife whenever I want, and when I'm not doing anything else, I can just lie on the small balcony. Life couldn't be more comfortable.

Nothing particularly big has happened on my wife's side, except that her company completed its Series D funding round this year.

After this round of financing, the valuation reached 800 million.

For 12 years, the internet was still dominated by BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent), and these internet companies developed incredibly fast.

Like his wife's side, their company has only been established for a few years, and they haven't made a single penny, not to mention losing money every month.

Even so, the company's valuation continues to rise.

I heard that a well-known domestic capital firm also led the investment this time.

It seems they have high hopes for their company's development.

All of this is none of his business; he's just marveling at how fast these internet companies are developing.

If you run a physical business, it would take forever to earn hundreds of millions.

They easily drove up the valuation here.

After completing this round of financing, my wife's company has grown significantly, and after the New Year, we plan to move the company to Zhongguancun, a famous internet startup town in Beijing.

This is also a plan for future development and financing.

There will be a large annual meeting before the new year, and he can attend it.

Chen Pingsheng thought it would be good to go and broaden his horizons, since he was sitting in the very back with his wife.

You can't spend your whole life just thinking about selling durians on the street.

Song Yanxi came out, still dressed simply, with her hair casually tied in a low ponytail.

Then put on a thick black cotton coat.

She'll be on holiday soon too. They'll both be spending the Chinese New Year in Beijing this year. When she left, Dujuan invited her to go shopping together after the holiday.

Buy some New Year's goods.

Song Yanxi originally wanted to refuse, but Chen Pingsheng agreed on her behalf, mainly because he felt that he could earn a lot of money now.

There's no need to stretch every penny like before.

You should save where you can, but you still have to spend where you need to.

"It's settled then. We'll go shopping in Sanlitun together after the holiday."

Du Juan's family is really well-off. As soon as she started working, her family provided her with a Honda car worth over 100,000 yuan.

Born in Beijing, spraying characters on the ground guarantees a head start in life.

After making the appointment with her, Song Yanxi went home.

When he got home, he found that Zhao Liying, who was an extra next door, had also returned and was practicing her acting skills by herself, embracing the self-cultivation of an actor.

Song Yanxi knew yesterday that a young girl, who was also an actress, had moved in next door. She only met her today, so naturally she had to say hello.

"You must be Liying. My husband told me about you yesterday. You're really beautiful."

Zhao Liying is indeed very beautiful, with delicate features. What's most striking is her radiant smile, like a warm ray of sunshine in winter.

It looks very pleasing.

"sister in law."

Zhao Liying smiled brightly, looking very friendly.

The two hit it off immediately upon their first meeting, and Song Yanxi even invited her to her home for dinner.

Xiao An'an usually lives alone. If her parents both go to work, there will be one more person to take care of her.

Chen Pingsheng's cooking skills have improved a lot over the years. Although he has not studied cooking professionally, he can still cook very well.

Since the two women got along well, he naturally went to cook.

Ordinary people often have some yearning for the entertainment industry, and Song Yanxi is no exception.

She was like a curious child, asking all sorts of questions.

Zhao Liying patiently explained to her.

"Sister-in-law, it's true that you can make a lot of money in the entertainment industry, but if you want to become famous, like me, you can only be an extra, so the income is just average."

She paused for a moment, then added, "But Brother Chen is really amazing. It was his first time working as an extra today, and even our assistant director was very impressed with him. He even got his number before leaving."

As if afraid she wouldn't understand the meaning behind it, Zhao Liying specially explained: "Sister-in-law, don't underestimate the director leaving his number. For extras like us, there are at least 80,000 to 100,000 yuan in Hengdian."

"To be noticed by the director on your first time as an extra like Brother Chen is absolutely one in a million."

"He can act?"

Song Yanxi was completely surprised. She glanced at the busy figure in the kitchen and asked curiously, "What did he act in?"

Didn't Brother Chen tell you?

Zhao Liying said, "He went to be the lead actor's stunt double this time. Brother Chen is very hardworking. No one in our crew could stand the zero-degree water temperature, but he jumped in without hesitation and endured the freezing cold in the lake for a whole day."

Song Yanxi's expression changed. She realized that he wasn't there to act at all; he was only looking for someone else who couldn't do the job.

To put it bluntly, spending a day in a lake at this temperature would likely result in catching a cold or fever.

That little money isn't even enough to go to the hospital.

With outsiders present, Song Yanxi couldn't say anything, but she felt very sorry for them.

Over the years, he has done many dangerous jobs in order to make money.

What I feared most was a heavy rainstorm when no one dared to deliver goods into the mountains, fearing that a landslide would kill them.

But he dared to.

They delivered it once, twice, three times, and then it really did collapse.

Chen Ping was lucky; the car only overturned and he wasn't seriously injured.

After that incident, Song Yanxi forbade him from running errands again, so he bought a tricycle and sold durians everywhere.

I never expected that I would be doing these dangerous jobs again.

"Liying, your brother Chen is willing to do any kind of work to earn money. If there are any more extra jobs in the future, try to introduce him to something easier, even if the pay is less."

Zhao Liying was slightly taken aback, but she understood what she was thinking.

It's just that the wife is worried about her husband.

"Time to eat! What were you two chatting about? You seemed to be having a great time!"

Chen Pingsheng prepared three dishes and a soup, which was definitely a sumptuous dinner for his family.

Of course, they had no idea that the little girl in front of them, who was just playing minor roles, would one day become a pillar of the entertainment industry.

She is a queen-like figure, in a class of her own.

At the moment, I just feel that she has had a really tough time.

It had been a long time since anyone had treated her to a meal. Zhao Liying ate simply, but her smile was genuine.

As soon as she left, Song Yanxi immediately pulled Chen Pingsheng to the room.
