Turning thirty is an awkward age. Some people shine brightly and achieve glory at this age, while others find their lives a messy struggle.
Undoubtedly, Chen Pingsheng belonged to the latter....
The winter sun is warm in December, but the temperature is cold.
It was a rare occasion for Chen Pingsheng to play with his children at home.
Chen Xinyi is one and a half years old, and she has a small pigtail on her head tied with a small rubber band.
It's quite difficult to tie up her sparse hair.
The little girl is chubby and looks quite different from her sister when she was a child.
When Chen Anan was young, she was not very fat.
She gained weight by eating herself later, but Chen Xinyi was different.
The chubby little face is so cute.
"Daddy."
"Come here, let daddy hold you."
Chen Pingsheng held her in his arms, and the little fat girl giggled.
Not long after, Chen Anan also returned home with her schoolbag.
After December comes New Year’s Day, and after New Year’s Day comes the Chinese New Year.
What she looks forward to most is the Chinese New Year because she can have a month's vacation.
"Dad, you're pretty free, huh?"
"What are you doing here? Can't your dad take a break?"
Chen Anan sat next to her father and took out an apple-flavored lollipop from her pocket. It was her sister's favorite.
After stuffing it in her mouth, she would jump around and behave herself for half an hour.
It’s easy to carry.
"Dad, how are we going to celebrate Chinese New Year this year?"
"Of course I'm going home. Where do you want to go?"
Chen Anan tilted her head and thought about it. She hadn't thought of it yet, so she giggled and told him that she would tell him when she thought of it.
Chen Pingsheng was too lazy to pay attention to her.
In fact, it seems that it doesn’t matter whether I go back to the village this year, mainly because in October, all the relatives from my younger sister’s family came to get married.
My grandparents have been playing here for nearly half a month.
As for the old lady Peng Ying, she seemed to be driving her Koenigsegg to buy groceries.
She probably still wants to go back.
We’ll see when the time comes.
If they don't go back, they will bring all their relatives to the capital to celebrate the New Year.
My younger sister Chen Qi came over with a gift. She was very happy recently because of the happy events at home.
Hu Lin was transferred from that unknown Beijing primary school to the Beijing Education Bureau.
Although I started out as just a small clerk in the basic education department.
But being able to be transferred directly from a primary school to a place like the Education Bureau is considered a promotion in any way.
His younger sister Chen Qi was very happy and would come to see him from time to time with some things in her hand.
It’s different after getting married, and people’s temperaments become more stable.
"Brother, do you think Hu Lin, with his personality, can he make it in a unit like the Education Bureau?"
“It’s quite difficult.”
Chen Pingsheng spoke frankly, "Anyone who can work in a company like that must be a smart person. Although your Hu Lin is down-to-earth and willing to endure hardships, he is still a little clumsy after all. He needs to practice slowly."
He didn't want to discuss this issue any further.
To get a job in a company, you need to have enough experience or background to get a job.
Neither.
In the words of the leaders, young people should not be afraid of hardship and should gain more training at the grassroots level.
That's what I said when I was thirty.
When you are forty years old, you are called patient.
I'm fifty now. Leader, do you think I still have a chance?
This is probably the process.
He also didn't know whether Hu Lin could get promoted. Working in the Education Bureau might not earn more than teachers, but the status would definitely be higher than teachers.
His younger sister Chen Qi is not short of money, so salary doesn't matter to her.
The old lady Peng Ying also came back and bought an old hen from outside. The people in the vegetable market said that these were authentic local chickens from the countryside.
She bought it without hesitation, mainly because she wanted to make soup for her two little granddaughters.
After half a year of development, many of the dishes on the second floor are ready to eat.
The vegetables grown in the courtyard are no different.
The taste is almost the same. It doesn’t taste better just because you grow it in a place where every inch of land is valuable.
My younger sister is pregnant now, and the old lady makes some chicken soup for her from time to time.
It's not five o'clock yet.
His wife, Michelle Song, also came back driving her own red LaFerrari.
Her sister is not young anymore, and although Liu Fen doesn't say it on the surface, she is actually urging her to get married as soon as possible.
"Honey, my sister will bring her boyfriend over later."
"That actor?"
Chen Pingsheng felt that Hu Lin was better than the one his younger sister Chen Qi found.
The person his sister-in-law Song Wu found was obviously even less reliable.
Although Hu Lin has no money, he is kind and honest, and he is truly filial.
As for the partner his sister-in-law has found, it’s really hard to describe.
It can be said that the whole reason is that she has a brother-in-law who is the boss of Tengying Group.
Song Yanxi actually knows this too.
But she knew better that her family was already in this situation. It was absolutely impossible to say that her sister's feelings were not mixed with any interests.
Most of the people who pursue her will be interested in her family background from the beginning.
Song Wu's boyfriend is only a third-tier star, and he is signed to a small company.
He previously played the second male lead in the drama he invested in.
The only thing he didn't dislike was that the man was quite masculine, unlike the effeminate guys that were popular in the circle nowadays.
Song Wu has unknowingly turned 26, and it is time for her to get married.
Song Yanxi came back this time just to take him to see it together.
Song Wu was very nervous. It was the first time she brought her boyfriend to meet her brother-in-law.
Thinking of the recent commotion at Tengying Group, she became obviously more nervous.
Her brother-in-law donated 800 million yuan in just one month to create public welfare projects for employees.
This is a groundbreaking event in the entertainment industry.
He even paid out about 2 billion yuan in year-end bonus for the group.
This is even more unprecedented.
There is no boss in the entertainment industry who can donate so much money to charity.
This shows how high her brother-in-law's status is in the entertainment industry now.
"Are you two planning to get married now?"
Song Wu nodded.
Chen Pingsheng looked at her boyfriend and said, "What's wrong with you? Don't you want the old baby who helped you up?"
The entertainment industry is not a place where you can make a living by relying on your acting skills and abilities.
He was able to rise from a small rural kid to a third-tier actor today.
That's also because someone is protecting him.
And he was noticed by an older actress who was over 40 years old.
That elder sister's status in the entertainment industry is not high, but she has a lot of experience.
He had to ask countless people for help before he was promoted from a nobody to the third-tier star he is today.
He even got to play the second male lead in a drama starring his sister-in-law.
"Brother, I really like Xiao Wu." Sun Hao was shocked. He didn't expect to be asked such a question as soon as he came here.
His legs were shaking a little, mainly because the person in front of him was not someone he could easily fool.
"That's what you told that old Baby before, right?"
Chen Pingsheng drank his tea calmly. He obviously didn't like this man who had lived off his wife.
After meeting his sister-in-law, he decisively broke off all ties with the old baby who helped him get up.
The reason why he didn't kick people out directly was because eight out of ten people in the entertainment industry are like this.
Nothing strange.
He had already said that, so if his sister-in-law still wanted to continue the conversation, he would not bother to care.
Not to mention that he didn't have a very good eye for people, at least Chen Qi picked Hu Lin, and he was still living a happy life.
As for this person, his character is totally problematic.
"Brother, I have explained this to Song Wu, and she has forgiven me."
Sun Hao hurriedly explained.
Chen Pingsheng asked, "If she forgives you, can you enter the Song family?"
"Don't use your little tricks in front of us. That's not sincerity, it's stupidity."
"You know very well that with Tengying Group's status in the entertainment industry, you can't hide that little thing for three minutes. We will uncover it thoroughly. So why not stand up and reveal everything yourself?"
"You dumped the actress who had been helping you wholeheartedly, and gave her all your savings over the years, in order to gain a reputation as a sincere and kind person who never forgot his original intention."
"Who gave you the courage to play these foolish tricks in front of us?"
Song Wu's face turned pale. She never expected that her boyfriend, who looked so sincere, would...
It turns out that he had been plotting against her from the very beginning.
And the sincerity he showed was just what others wanted her to see.
Song Yanxi also had a gloomy face. She didn't agree with her sister dating someone in the entertainment industry.
Now that something like this has happened, it's even more impossible for me to agree to continue dating her.
"Go away! You shouldn't set your sights on my wife's only sister."
Chen Pingsheng took out his phone and sent a message in front of them, "Don't you know that if you fail, you'll have no choice but to return to your hometown in the countryside and start farming again?"
The cell phone is on the table.
Chen Pingsheng only sent four words to Bai Xin, banning Sun Hao.
Ten years of hard work, all gone in a single wrong thought.
Originally, third-tier male actors did not have a very high status in the entertainment industry.
It's easy to make millions a year.
At least I am a winner in life, and everyone will look up to me when I go back.
Now, I am determined to join a wealthy family.
He is just like those young people who are passionate about starting a business.
Every night I think about what will happen if I succeed.
He is the best of the best and he slaps the faces of all those who have looked down on him.
Obviously, he underestimated the cost of entering a wealthy club.
Sending him back to the countryside is something that Chen Pingsheng can easily do now.
"Brother, I..." Sun Hao wanted to explain.
Zhao Yimin, who came in, carried him out directly.
Throw him out the door like a clown.
As for Song Wu, she had been pulled into the room by the sullen Song Yanxi for re-education.
If she dares to chase him out again, she, as her elder sister, will be so angry that she will die.
If you betray someone once, you will betray them every time.
Their family can accept someone who has no money and no status, but will never accept someone with serious character problems.
A person with ulterior motives came to her Chen family.
