The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chapter 75 Are you planning to wander the Earth in a car?

Tianhu Mountain is the birthplace of Taoism and the origin of this religion.

Perhaps due to the strong Taoist culture, the two unconventional individuals, one big and one small, actually sat cross-legged and practiced immortality without even eating dinner at night.

Ten minutes later, Chen An'an opened her eyes: "Dad, I'm hungry."

"Bear it."

"Oh."

Half an hour later, her stomach rumbled, and Chen An'an opened her eyes again: "Dad, I want to eat."

"Endure it. If you don't even have this much willpower, what are you trying to do to lose weight? No... you're trying to cultivate immortality."

"Oh."

For once, Chen An'an sat for another ten minutes, but she couldn't hold back any longer and turned to ask curiously, "Dad, aren't you hungry?"

"Of course I'm not hungry, I ate a long time ago."

Chen An'an: "...Huh??"

How could you eat it? Why did you eat it? Didn't we agree to cultivate immortality together?

"Dad, I'm so angry! So angry!"

The last syllable was drawn out, showing that she was truly aggrieved.

"Can anger be eaten as food?"

Chen Pingsheng stopped pretending. The hotel had already delivered the food. They had booked a top-tier suite, so this kind of basic service was provided.

Song Yanxi went to invite Guan Xiu and the others to have a meal together. It's not easy for two college students to travel on a budget, so it's okay to take care of them a little.

We'll have to part ways once we get to Wuhan in Hubei.

Song Yanxi has heard a lot about the beauty of university life these days, such as the boys singing in the girls' dormitories.

There are also those who confess their love over the loudspeaker on the playground. In general, if you don't have a passionate romance in college, you'll have a big regret after leaving campus.

"Sister Yanxi, how did you and Brother Chen get together?" Guan Xiu asked curiously.

Song Yanxi laughed and said, "Him? He used to be a notorious bully at school. We grew up in the same village, and it was thanks to his protection that no one ever gave me a love letter."

"Yes, I did, but I secretly intercepted them and burned them."

It happened so many years ago, but it still seems quite naive and wonderful when I think about it now.

In fact, most people have a childhood sweetheart.

For some unknown reason, we inexplicably got separated.

We only get together during the few days we go home for the Chinese New Year.

It wasn't until Qingmei got married that he realized why he hadn't cherished the opportunity back then.

Fortunately, Chen Pingsheng recognized his true self early on.

She started protecting him when he was in kindergarten and escorted him all the way up until he became her bride.

I have to say, that's incredibly clever.

"Sister Yanxi, do you have your own company in Beijing?"

Guan Xiu couldn't help but ask. Judging from the two people's spending habits, she already had an answer; this was just a matter of further confirmation.

“Yes,” Song Yanxi said. “Your brother Chen runs an entertainment company, a catering company, and a chain of fruit supermarkets. As for me, I mainly run a beauty chain now.”

Wow... How lucky I am to be taken care of by such a big shot while on a budget trip.

"Sister Yanxi, was Brother Chen's family always very wealthy?"

"No, my house used to be very small, and it was always rented."

After Chen An'an finished eating, she had the energy to talk; she's quite the chatterbox.

“My dad used to be very poor. My aunt would scold him every time she came over, and my grandma did too. They were no good at all. An’an is not filial to them now that he’s grown up.”

"You're so clever."

Chen Pingsheng stuffed a big chicken leg into her mouth to shut her up, saying, "You won't graduate until next year, so it's not realistic to think about making a lot of money now. Just find a job and take it slow."

What's it like for top university students to join Shuiyunjian to learn beauty?
Chen Pingsheng was startled by a sudden thought: "By the way, how much do you guys earn a month after graduation?"

"If it's good, it'll be three thousand; if it's not so good, it might be two thousand or so."

While in school, grades matter; after graduation, parents matter.

An age-old rule: if parents are strong, a series of powerful moves can result in a lifetime employment.

Enter the system.

"Three thousand? Then you can consider my wife, Shuiyunjian. Learning beauty isn't difficult; it only takes three months."

Chen Pingsheng said, "College students like you should learn very quickly. Since you two are from prestigious universities, we can guarantee you 6,000 yuan during the learning period, and then 10,000 yuan after you learn it. If you can become an A-level beautician within half a year, the guarantee will be 18,000 yuan. One of our store managers earned more than 3 million yuan last month."

“I can vouch for that,” Chen Qi chuckled beside him.

Their educational level is not high. It would be great if some college students from prestigious universities could join Shuiyunjian.

Guan Xiu was shocked to learn that the store manager earned three million a month.

Don't be fooled by their prestigious university degrees and seemingly high academic qualifications; without family support, a good job would never be within their reach.

Not to mention jobs that pay six thousand during the learning period.

"Sister Yanxi, are beauty salons that profitable?"

"No, not at all."

Chen An'an cleverly chimed in, "My mom's beauty salon is the most high-end in Beijing. My aunt's staff dormitory is twice the size of my family's yard. If I could use it to plant trees..."

"You will kill a whole field of them."

Chen Pingsheng decisively reminded her.

This little guy just doesn't understand himself; he always thinks he has a talent for planting trees.

Chen An'an was immediately displeased. "Dad, you're defaming my reputation again. I'm going to sue you for defamation."

"Hmph, you still have the nerve to say how much money you spent on trees last month? Don't you have any idea?"

"No duck, there are too many zeros after the decimal point, I can't even count them all."

"Chen An'an, you've gone too far."

Chen Ping was furious: "That osmanthus tree in the vase at home cost 260,000 yuan, and it died in less than a week after you bought it. The ginkgo tree that cost 100,000 yuan was planted from seed, and your mother told you not to build a small house for it, but you insisted, and it died one after another. You killed hundreds of thousands of people every month, and now you're telling me there are too many zeros after the decimal point? Didn't you count?"

Chen An'an's voice weakened slightly, clearly lacking confidence, "Is...it so expensive?"

"Hmph, your father originally wanted to cultivate your talent for farming, but looking at you like this, I'm afraid even if you lose a mountain of gold, you won't make any progress."

Guan Xiu and the other female classmate were dumbfounded. Was this how simple and unpretentious the rich man's family was?

They graduated from prestigious universities, and they are still scrambling to get jobs that pay three to five thousand.

Some kids are spending hundreds of thousands of yuan a month just on growing trees?
Being born well is worse than being well-educated.

That's a huge difference.

Chen Pingsheng ignored their surprise and shock. The little brat was really going too far. When did he evolve to the point of not looking at the price when buying things?

Is it a valid reason to have too many zeros after the decimal point?
Chen An'an quickly ate her food and then went to sleep.

As long as I go to bed early, my dad won't hit me.

When the sun comes out again, it's another happy day.

Chen Pingsheng didn't actually hit her; he just wanted to restrict her online shopping.

From the previous limit of unlimited purchases, it should be about 200,000 per month.

I don't know what kind of attribute this little An'an has, but whatever she buys is basically useless.

He would be surprised if it was even slightly useful.

If this brain of his were to become a scientist, he'd probably spend all his time thinking about putting four wheels on the Earth and adding a giant electric motor.

Then I'll drive the Earth on a journey.

You know what, she might actually be one.
