Reborn: Billionaire in College

Chapter 686 Extra 18 My First Half of Life

As an ordinary and honest person, what is it like to eat at the same table with the richest man in the world?
Zhu Ruifeng smacked his lips twice and still hasn't come to his senses.

He is not an old-fashioned person from the previous generation who doesn't use the Internet or watch TV.

As a person of similar age to Chen Pingjiang, he watched a lot of short videos when he was young. He even used the campus network, not to mention the WeChat he uses in daily life.

Zhu Ruifeng was not at all unfamiliar with the value of the three words "Chen Pingjiang".

When he first heard these three words, Chen Pingjiang had already achieved success and fame. Zhu Ruifeng even tried to search everywhere for Chen Pingjiang's deeds, but after reading them, he was just speechless.

For many years afterwards, Zhu Ruifeng had been quietly paying attention to Chen Pingjiang...

Ah!
What Zhu Ruifeng saw and heard today was indeed shocking. He failed to become Chen Pingjiang's son, but instead became the father of Chen Pingjiang's son-in-law.

Thinking of this, Zhu Ruifeng turned around and glanced at his son Zhu Yongliang, who was smiling innocently, and kept sighing in his heart: "This little bastard is really lucky."

"Old Zhu, let's stop here today. Let Chen Yu drive you and your family to visit the Confucius Temple in Dongjiang in the evening. You can also come to my office if you have time."

Chen Pingjiang, who was a little tipsy, patted Zhu Ruifeng on the shoulder affectionately, which made the 1.8-meter-tall strong man feel a little flattered.

"Okay, okay, Brother Chen, I did drink too much today."

As he spoke, Zhu Ruifeng secretly tugged at his wife's sleeve.

The latter came to his senses and also spoke some words of farewell.

After spending some time saying goodbye, Chen Pingjiang and Ge Mengshi finally got back into the car.

"Huh! This old guy can drink a lot, he's a former soldier indeed." As he spoke, Chen Pingjiang turned his head and looked at Ge Mengshi: "How is it, are you satisfied with Xiao Zhu's family?"

Ge Mengshi, who had already accepted her fate, nodded slightly: "They are a pretty honest and down-to-earth family. I've also figured it out. Instead of being a bad mother, it's better to just go with the flow. Who made our daughter like them? But I still don't understand why you don't have any requests at all?"

Chen Pingjiang knew what she meant and chuckled, "You still can't see through it! Have you heard of the story of Josie Ho and Danny Chan?"

Ge Mengshi nodded, "I saw it on TikTok, and it was quite shocking at the time."

"So, a family like ours doesn't need the so-called equal status, because there are very few who can be equal. My daughter, Chen Pingjiang, doesn't need a 'marriage of peace' either. Everything should be based on her happiness."

As the daughter of a wealthy family, Pansy Ho followed the arrangement of the old gambling king and got together with someone she didn't like. What did she gain in the end?

It's just a few decades of recollection.

Today, Chen Pingjiang, who has long seen through everything, has very little desire for money, fame, fortune and status.

"In a few years, when the children are older, I will hand over the business to them and we will retire!"

For no reason, Chen Pingjiang suddenly raised his mouth.

Ge Mengshi on the side was suddenly stunned.

Chen Pingjiang always said this before, but she didn't take it seriously most of the time. But today was different. She heard a hint of boredom in his words.

Ge Mengshi smiled sweetly: "Have you settled with Yan Yan? There are so many of us living there together, aren't you afraid that she will have objections?"

Chen Pingjiang waved his hand: "It's already been done. I owe you all these years of homework, so I have to pay it back, right?"

Ge Mengshi leaned lightly on Chen Pingjiang's shoulder, feeling a peace and contentment she had never felt before.

Even the most determined woman longs for the safety of a family after she has achieved success. She originally thought that she would never have a chance in this life, but she did not expect that Chen Pingjiang still remembered the promise he made many years ago.

"But...we are all old!"

Chen Pingjiang tightly grasped Ge Mengshi's hand, "Fifty years old is only considered middle-aged nowadays. You still have at least another 40 to 50 years to live. Why are you old?"

In the past decade, Chen Pingjiang has invested heavily in biopharmaceuticals. With the advancement of medical technology and the exploration of bioengineering, the average life expectancy of Chinese people has reached 91 years.

In comparison, people in their early fifties can indeed be considered middle-aged.

Chen Pingjiang is even confident that in another ten or twenty years, with the further development of science and technology, it will not be uncommon for the average human life expectancy to exceed 100 years.

"Yes, in just over a decade, the development and changes have been so fast. Sometimes I feel that I am so lucky. I live in the best era, have a beloved man, and a job I like." Ge Mengshi sighed softly and looked up at Chen Pingjiang's profile. She knew that the development of many technologies was inseparable from Chen Pingjiang.

Although he has rarely appeared in public in recent years, he has never stopped exploring.

Controlled nuclear fusion technology has been put into commercial use and is currently being vigorously promoted across the country.

After a perfect start to the lunar exploration project, efforts are being made to build an underground cave base on the moon.

Artificial intelligence and embodied robots have been integrated into every aspect of human life.

The jet car has obtained a flight license, and Dongjiang will become the first pilot city where it can be put on the road.

"Have you ever regretted it?"

Chen Pingjiang suddenly asked.

"I have never regretted it!" Ge Mengshi shook her head. "As people often say, the dimension of life is far greater than the length of life. I have thought about it before, what would my life be like if I hadn't met you?"

She paused and said, "Maybe I'll find a man I don't like that much. He might be a Phoenix man with average ability but a strong self-esteem, or a cynical rich second-generation. But no matter who he is, I won't admire him. Women really admire strong men!"

Chen Pingjiang nodded, looked at the hustle and bustle outside the window, and gently put his arm around Ge Mengshi's slender waist.

Memories are like water, coming in little by little.

He wasted his previous life, but fortunately God gave him another chance.

In the end, he lived up to expectations and spent a half-life that could be described as wonderful.

A successful career, a smooth job, a happy life, and women who love you.

What else is there to be dissatisfied with?

"You're right. The dimension of life far exceeds its length. When the moon base is successfully completed in five years, we can go there and live together for a while."

Ge Mengshi burst out laughing, "Go plant potatoes? Yan Yan goes, Wan Yuqian goes, I will definitely go too."

"You may not believe it, but I always have this dream. In my dream, my name is also Chen Pingjiang, but I live a different life. In my dream, I have accomplished nothing, failed in my business, my marriage broke down, I was chased for debt, and I was destitute..."

"So it's a dream, because dreams are the opposite!" Ge Mengshi said: "It's also possible that it was you in a parallel universe?"

"Oh? Maybe."
