"Is business good or bad lately? If it's good, why do you have time to come here? If it's bad, where do you get the spare money to buy a car?"

"Business is certainly good." Chen Shichao retorted to Chen Bing in a loud tone as he started the car, and then continued, "Do you see any big boss who still has to deal with business himself? They all leisurely enjoy themselves. Of course, they leave business matters to their subordinates."

Hearing this, Chen Bing smiled slightly.

It seems the business is indeed doing well, otherwise Chen Shichao wouldn't have said something like that, given his personality. Although we don't know the exact extent of its success, it must have multiplied several times over in the past few years, growing from a startup capital of ten or twenty million to assets of fifty or sixty million.

With that in mind, Chen Bing felt much more at ease. The unreliable old Chen was actually quite reliable when it came to serious matters, and he hadn't squandered all that money.

“He just loves to brag.” Liu Yue, who was sitting in the passenger seat, handed her phone to Shang Yunmiao and said, “Given his personality, if he hadn’t just picked up the car yesterday and wanted to show it off, he definitely wouldn’t have come to pick you up today.”

Although Liu Yue meant to criticize Chen Shichao for being boastful, her tone conveyed a strong sense of pride.

Yes, Xiao Chen is indeed someone to be proud of. Chen Bing felt that even with the information advantage brought by his rebirth, he could not make money work for him like that.

For someone majoring in Chinese language and literature like him, it's easy to understand a lot of knowledge and principles, appreciate life, and handle a lot of paperwork and office problems, but he struggles when it comes to things like business and financial management.

Therefore, for Chen Bing in her previous life, the most comfortable life was to pass the civil service exam, get a government job, and easily go to work.

As for this life... why would I bother with a job if I had money? I want to improve my quality of life, learn things I'm interested in, be a fun person, and live a happy and high-quality life every day.

Ahem, let's get back to Old Chen's entrepreneurial journey. While he had accumulated a lot of Bitcoin beforehand, it would only amount to a maximum of twenty or thirty million, enough to squander in a lifetime. Looking back now, using more than half of his wealth to support Chen Shichao's startup was truly a wise choice.

Of course, this is all thanks to me.

After inwardly feeling smug, Chen Bing began to examine the car's interior. It has to be said, a good car is a good car; there's a reason it's expensive.

After watching for a while, Chen Bing was invited by Shang Yunmiao to watch her own speech video together.

The image of himself on the screen was dashing and poised, making people exclaim, "Holy crap, who is this? He's so handsome!" at first glance.

"Did I look cool when I spoke?" It's not enough for just yourself to think you look good; as social beings, it's even more important to consider other people's opinions. So, Chen Bing asked Shang Yunmiao, who was watching intently from the side.

"Handsome, so handsome!"

Xiao Shang flattered Mr. Chen, which made him extremely happy. He immediately reached out and patted the little girl's head, muttering things like "You're pretty too" in a friendly, business-like manner.

Soon, Chen Shichao's BMW entered Shangping and stopped in front of a hotel building that was more than ten or twenty stories high.

Needless to say, this is Old Chen's business.

After finding a place to have a simple lunch, Chen Shichao stayed there to handle his work, while Liu Yue drove the two children back to their home in Shangping.

"Yunmiao, do you want to stay at your mother's house this week? I'll drive you and Chen Bing back on Sunday."

As soon as the car was parked in the parking garage on the first floor, Liu Yue made a suggestion to Shang Yunmiao, who was sitting in the back seat.

Hearing this, the young girl was clearly tempted. However, after glancing at Chen Bing beside her, she turned back and shook her head, refusing.

"No, Mom, I'd better go home and stay there. It's not good for you to live alone."

Hearing this, Liu Yue didn't insist any further. After getting out of the car, she reached out and took Shang Yunmiao's hand, leading her into the house as she said, "Okay, you can go with your dad when he gets home from get off work tonight. Until then, you can play at home with your aunt, or we can go shopping this afternoon, okay? There's a pretty big shopping mall that just opened up on the commercial street recently."

"Okay! I'll listen to Mom."

The two walked into the house chatting and laughing, while Chen Bing followed behind them, carrying two bags.

The afternoon passed quickly, and Shang Yunmiao had a wonderful time. She first tried making cookies with Liu Yue, and then went shopping with her. After returning home in the afternoon, she played some games with Chen Bing and ate some snacks.

Around 8 p.m., under the warm lights, she had dinner with Chen Bing's family, took a shower, changed into new clothes, and watched TV until around 9 p.m., when Shang Zhengxin came to pick her up after get off work and she started packing to go home.

"Goodbye, Mom; goodbye, Uncle Chen; goodbye, Chen Bing."

Outside the villa, Shang Yunmiao, dressed in a beautiful dress, held onto her father's coat with one hand and waved goodbye to Chen Bing's family with the other.

"Thank you for taking care of my daughter, my younger brother and sister-in-law."

"No trouble at all. Our whole family likes Yunmiao very much. We'll invite her to come over to play more often so we can get to know each other better."

It's surprising that Brother Shang is getting off work so late; the work at the Education Bureau must be really tough.

"Hey, what's so hard about it?"

After a conversation that resonated with them, the three parents started chatting about work.

This made Shang Yunmiao, who was standing to the side, feel a little embarrassed. After all, she had just said goodbye, so why was she unable to get away now?

Fortunately, Chen Bing was also standing there dumbfounded, so she let go of her little hand that was holding onto her father's clothes and walked over to Chen Bing with cheerful steps.

After taking Xiao Shang's hand, Chen Bing glanced around the villa's courtyard. Finding a swing in a corner, he took the little girl there to play for a while.

Shang Yunmiao sat on the large wooden swing, while Chen Bing gently pushed her from behind and chatted with her.

The early autumn night was slightly chilly, and the clear night sky was dotted with countless stars. A bright moon was nestled among them, occasionally veiled by a wisp of cloud.

Under the moonlight and shadows, it seemed as if the moon was blocking the thin clouds, rather than the thin clouds obscuring the moon.

The distance between people and the moon seemed closer under this illusion, just like Shang Yunmiao's expressive eyes, crystal clear and bright, appearing exceptionally pure and white as strands of hair drifted by.
