The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chapter 53 The Current State of Song Dance

When he got home, his wife, Song Yanxi, hadn't returned yet.

She's probably still at Shuiyunjian (a beauty salon), busy with her beauty business even while pregnant—she's really never stopping.

If Zhao Liying becomes a big star after the broadcast of "Legend of Lu Zhen", he will invite her to do a small advertisement at Shuiyun Studio.

This can also be considered as helping his wife out.

The eldest sister, Chen Yao, and her husband, Xiao Ping'an, have arrived.

I was all smiles as I drove my newly bought Volkswagen Bora.

"Pingsheng, where is Yanxi?"

"She hasn't returned from Shuiyunjian yet, and An'an should have been taken there by her as well."

"Oh." The eldest sister, Chen Yao, came to inform him that their small shop was preparing to open in a few days.

Chen Pingsheng offered a few words of congratulations, then asked, "Do you plan to hold any celebrations for your opening?"

"There's no need for that. What's the point of the convenience store doing all that? I'm just inviting you all to my house for a meal sometime."

"Okay."

Chen Yao and her brother-in-law Xiao Ping'an are both very down-to-earth. In their view, they can open a small shop in Beijing and earn a stable income of two or three hundred thousand yuan a year.

Life there was much better than in Shacheng.

A comfortable life without too many ambitions can still be enjoyable.

Chen Pingsheng thought this was not bad either. Life is never good just because you have money, but of course, you absolutely cannot live without money.

When Song Yanxi returned, he even suggested giving the Panamera in his house to his older sister.

Since it's no longer open, there's no point in leaving it there to gather dust.

I bought it secondhand before, and now it's perfect as a business gift for my older sister.

Song Yanxi had no objections; the family already had enough cars, so many that they were almost out of parking space.

She's now completely focused on beauty treatments, but high-end beauty treatments aren't so easy to get done.

The main problem was that not many customers came to the store, and the initial marketing results were not very good.

"Don't worry, your husband will definitely help you solve this in a while."

The couple both had their own careers to keep them busy, while Xiao An'an was like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins.

They have a great time every day.

When asked to do her homework, she would hang her head in dejection, as if her father had died.

The large one is really not going to make it; the small one won't be born for another six months.

Chen Pingsheng secretly vowed every day that he must nurture his alternate account properly.

I don't expect to get into Tsinghua or Peking University in the future, but I must at least get into one of the 985 universities.

When people are broke, all they think about is making money.

After becoming wealthy, people always hope their children will do well in school; they never have enough to worry about.

The next day, Song Yanxi actually drove off in her Mercedes Bravo.

She said she was taking a few girls from the store to a training session today, and she was going to wear a Bentley.

Chen Pingsheng can only drive his own Aston Martin now.

Just before setting off, Bai Xin sent another message.

"Uncle, are you up yet? Time to go to work!"

After Chen Pingsheng asked her where she was, he prepared to pick her up, since it was on his way anyway.

Unlike typical Ferraris, Aston Martins have a more gentlemanly and British feel.

"Uncle, why did you change your car again?"

"The boss has a lot of cars, so we drivers can drive whichever one we want."

I spent 25 yuan to ride in a Martin, and my butt felt a little hot.

After Bai Xin opened the passenger door and sat down, she unconsciously swayed a couple of times.

"Uncle, is your boss Zhao Liying already this rich?"

"I don't know if she has money, but she can earn millions for a single movie role."

"It's so fast."

Bai Xin sighed, saying that she was only making a few hundred yuan a day, while others who were just extras had become big stars in the blink of an eye.

They're always chauffeured around in luxury cars; it's something to be envious of.

"So, what kind of movie are you filming today?" "Sigh~ What good movies can someone of my level possibly film? Today I'm filming a brothel scene with Senior Sister Song Wu. We'll just be wearing red bellybands and wandering around in the crowd."

Chen Pingsheng didn't laugh; instead, he remained silent for a while.

He then took out his phone and called Song Yanxi. After she answered, he explained the situation to her.

After a long silence, Song Yanxi finally asked, "Pingsheng, are you still angry with her?"

Chen Pingsheng shook his head: "Why would I be angry with her? But you should feel sorry for her in the entertainment industry, right?"

“Pingsheng, I’ve never dared to tell you about my sister before because I knew how awful she was. But now, if possible, I hope you can go see her.”

She naturally knew that her husband had invested in and opened a company called Tencent Entertainment in the entertainment industry.

If only her man had been willing to lend a hand, her foolish younger sister wouldn't have ended up in such a stupid state.

She wouldn't listen when we scolded her back then, and now she doesn't even have the courage to ask her brother-in-law for help.

"it is good."

Chen Pingsheng still respects Song Yanxi, after all, they have been a couple through thick and thin for so many years.

She only has this one younger sister.

"Uncle, I'm starting to think you're not as simple as you seem."

Bai Xin naturally overheard the conversation.

She felt that this ordinary-looking middle-aged man was definitely not a simple, experienced driver.

Judging by her quick wit, she probably also works as a celebrity assistant.

Double pay!

"What's so special about it? Where are you filming? I've never seen an actress wearing a bellyband while filming before. I'd love to go and take a look."

"Uncle, I have to remind you, although I am very beautiful, you are already married, and even if I wear a little bib, there will definitely be clothes inside."

Bai Xin looked wary.

"What are you thinking? I just came to watch you guys film a movie. I'll treat you to lunch later if necessary."

"You should have said so earlier, Hengdian."

Bai Xin changed her mind quickly; she had already started giving directions.

This is early morning rush hour.

Even the legendary Aston Martin gets mercilessly overtaken by that old man on a two-wheeler next door.

Fine, you'll surpass him, but he'll still give you a disdainful look.

If this were in Guangdong, an old man with hardly any hair on his head, wearing flip-flops and a tank top, would be a perfect example.

He doesn't believe his family's wealth is less than a few hundred million.

What should have been a 40-minute drive took an hour and a half to complete.

Bai Xin's phone rang several times; it was Song Wu calling her.

The two of them were filming a period drama today, the kind of small-scale web series that couldn't be smaller.

These kinds of dramas love to use actresses to attract attention by skirting the edges of the story.

Song Wu initially thought it was a normal brothel play, but when she arrived, she was told that she could not wear any clothes underneath her bellyband.

Even the pants were a white, transparent pair, with bright red underneath.

That's the kind of subtle, elusive effect we're looking for.

She was about to refuse on the spot, but the assistant director warned her that if she dared to refuse, she would never be able to work in the entertainment industry again.

They've already come out, so why bother trying to maintain a facade of innocence?

Extras are really people who can be bullied by anyone.

After Bai Xin arrived, Chen Pingsheng followed her in.

The film crew was small; they rented a location here temporarily and had to leave immediately after filming.

I dare not waste any time.

"Hey you, hurry up and change your clothes."

The assistant director yelled impatiently.

Song Wu was dumbfounded, "Sister, brother-in-law..."

Bai Xin was also stunned. She never expected that this unassuming uncle would be her senior's brother-in-law.
