Beijing, courtyard house.

The misty drizzle added a touch of mystery to this mansion that had been uninhabited for a long time.

Their family made their fortune in the capital, and later moved to the Magic City due to various coincidences.

This mansion, which cost hundreds of millions to decorate, is now empty.

Chen Pingsheng went to his room and found that the plants he raised were growing well.

I also went to take a look at Big Butt's room, her favorite sea view room, and the fish in it were still swimming around.

It’s no wonder that we hired someone to take care of it regularly. The care is pretty good.

His wife, Michelle Song, was also carrying a small suitcase, which contained nothing but her clothes and jewelry.

"Hubby, why don't we invite Du Juan to our house for dinner? I haven't contacted her for a long time."

"Sure, just call her. I'll go out and buy some groceries."

Just as Chen Pingsheng was about to go out, a little guy slipped in at the door, pretending to be a ghost and trying to scare him.

Without saying a word, he punched her on the forehead.

Song Shuiqing grimaced in pain, "Brother-in-law, can't you see it's me?"

"I beat you because I saw you. Who told you to be so naughty?"

Song Shuiqing is not young anymore, but he is still as naughty as he was in college.

"If I hadn't messaged my cousin yesterday, I wouldn't have known you were going back to the capital too."

New Year's Day is coming soon, and she came back to celebrate it.

"I'll only be back for a day or two, how can I possibly notify everyone?"

"Is that so?"

Song Shuiqing smiled awkwardly twice, and then talked about An An's grandfather.

This matter had been a hot topic a few years ago.

Or maybe Chen Pingsheng suppressed the matter of her grandfather because he took into consideration that Tengying Group had just started.

Now it’s okay, the old man won’t live for more than two days.

He signed a will, stipulating that half of his old house must be given to the nanny who had taken care of him for so many years.

Liu Fen's two sisters and brother are really useless. They quarrel in front of the hospital all day long.

If you don't compete on reason, then compete on who has the loudest voice.

It doesn’t matter whether the old man is dead or alive, the house must be won.

Such things happened quite frequently in the city, and his relationship with the Liu family's relatives was not very good.

The main reason is that he was too snobbish, and later his wife's cousin committed suicide by jumping off a building.

He stayed even further away from them.

Song Shuiqing thought her brother-in-law would come back to deal with the matter, but Chen Pingsheng ignored him completely.

Things are different now!

He spends so much money on news media every year and has equity cooperation with all of BAT.

It has also invested heavily in short video platforms such as Kuaishou and Douyin.

He said that if this news is not allowed to be leaked, then it will basically not be leaked.

Since that’s the case, let them do whatever they want.

Whether it was sincere or insincere, the rural nanny took good care of An An's grandfather for so many years.

On the other hand, his sons and daughters showed no concern other than fighting over the house.

How do you want him to deal with this kind of thing?

After Song Shuiqing found out that he was really ignoring her, she went in to look for her cousin.

Song Yanxi ignored him even more.

Her mother Liu Fen was directly excluded because she only had one house worth more than 10 million yuan.

No matter who wins the fight, the future relationship between the relatives will probably be completely severed.

The kind who rolls his eyes whenever he meets someone.

This really proves the old saying that once the money reaches a certain level, not to mention siblings, even the relationship with parents is unreliable.

That's not the case now.

She still called Dujuan to come over for dinner and prepare for this year's grand night.

In fact, everything that needed to be prepared had already been prepared, and she was just looking at the process.

Du Juan was her first colleague working together in Beijing. They had always had a good relationship, but as their family became richer, they had less and less contact.

We only get together occasionally when we have time.

Dujuan had long known that her family had made a fortune, and she had witnessed it all the way.

In fact, it was not she who initiated this gathering of former colleagues.

Instead, their boss wanted to take this opportunity to see Chen Pingsheng again.

Although Chen Pingsheng is not well-known in ordinary circles because he has always been low-key.

But he is still well-known in the investment circle, especially in the big investment circle.

It has invested in Meituan, Pinduoduo, Guazi Used Cars and other popular startup projects that have become popular in recent years.

Especially the food delivery groups, I heard that they are already on the road to going public.

The valuation is as high as 50 billion US dollars.

Chen Pingsheng's Tengying Group is among the top ten shareholders.

The road to listing undoubtedly requires an IPO, and this wave of cashing out alone can make a fortune.

Unfortunately, Chen Pingsheng himself had no intention of cashing out now.

There will be no dilution of this 2% stake.

Therefore, he will also follow up on the IPO financing of the food delivery group.

Trying to further expand the proportion of shares in hand and strive to get another 1%.

This will probably require an investment of more than 3 billion.

Du Juan said that her former boss was really something. A person who was so successful before was abandoned by capital.

The valuation once reached tens of billions, but unfortunately, blind expansion led to the scale being too large.

With their attention too dispersed, they couldn't even defend the basic moat.

Valuation is made before there is concrete profit or when the IPO listing plan is not completed.

It's like a huge bubble that will burst with just one poke, and it's meaningless.

It is obvious that Song Yanxi's former boss, who was once such a powerful person, is trying to get some help from their family through his relationship with his former boss.

Song Yanxi refused without even thinking.

They were exploited without mercy in the past, because she had only a high school diploma and no chance of getting a regular job after several years.

I have been doing formal work while being paid as an intern.

Now, I think of her when the company encounters problems.

Du Juan said, "I'm just here to let you know. Our former boss was truly unreliable. When he had money, he was incredibly glamorous. He even used the money to keep mistresses in Beijing, and even spent tens of millions on hooking up with young celebrities. In my opinion, his company deserved to go bankrupt."

"I'm afraid it's more than just bankruptcy."

Du Juan must have clearly underestimated the capital. He took billions from the capital market and ended up in this mess.

If there is no big shot behind him to help him, he will never have a chance to turn things around in his life.

I originally wanted to take my husband out to show off, so that all those women who would rather cry in a BMW would see it.

I feel just as cool when riding my husband's electric scooter.

Now that she heard what was going on, she simply lost interest.

Her husband is not available to anyone who wants to see him now.

This time when he returned to Beijing, he probably wanted to meet those retired old ladies with powerful backgrounds who were the first to invest in Shuiyunjian.

After all, it’s New Year’s Day, so we still have to maintain contact with those we need to maintain.

By the way, I would like to ask about the attitude of the top leaders towards real estate and all industries in the next two years.

What kind of place is Beijing? It’s a place with many big-name retirement communities.

This is the headquarters of the entire China and where top-level information is gathered.

At this time every year, Chen Pingsheng would almost always hold some private gatherings under various names.

Or maybe play mahjong with those old men and women.

Song Yanxi usually doesn't get involved in such matters and won't tell anyone about them.

It was even more impossible to tell Du Juan about her husband's schedule.

Itineraries during this period are often kept extremely confidential.

It's impossible to let any outsider know.

Tengying Group has developed to this day. If you really think that Chen Pingsheng has no social skills at all, then you are obviously too naive.

He just wouldn't promote these things in his own group. Du Juan had a simple lunch here and then left.

When Song Yanxi told her husband that her former boss was going bankrupt, Chen Pingsheng just nodded indifferently.

I didn't care much.

On the contrary, there is another matter that their family still has to send someone to take a look at.

That means An An’s grandfather, Liu Fen’s father, is leaving.

It would definitely be a happy funeral for someone to die at his age, but the old man probably died very unhappy.

The children I have raised for a lifetime are not only sad, but now they are also arguing outside the ward about the house.

There are no other words of comfort.

In a fit of rage, the old man did something ruthless. He asked someone to witness him leaving the entire house to the rural nanny who had been taking care of him.

Then he closed his eyes and spread his hands, saying, "Whoever you want can do whatever they want, I won't give you any."
