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....
What? What's the boss's name and how does he have so much money?
Are they exploiting the common people, or are they exploiting the employees all day long?
These things were all told to him by Teacher Liu Qingqing. Liu Qingqing not only taught him knowledge, but also taught him to recognize the various classes in society.
Xiao Jiye's understanding of rich people is still at the level of exploiting capitalists.
I always feel that there are not many good people among these people.
When he grows up, he must make a lot of money and do a lot of good things.
I also want to buy lots of gifts for grandpa and let my mother live a happy little life.
This is probably his ordinary and inspirational life!
When he grows up and finds out that his family is so rich, I'm afraid he will find it difficult to accept it for a while!
"Jiye, is it comfortable to swim here?"
"Comfortable!"
"Then Mommy will bring you here to swim every day from now on, okay?"
"not good."
"Why?"
"This is someone else's home, not mine. One visit is enough. How can I come here every day?"
Little Jiye loves swimming very much, and An An also likes to watch him from the side. It’s a pity that he probably won’t come over for a long time next time.
An An asked Chen Pingsheng to think of a solution, no matter what hardship he faced, he must not let the child suffer.
What's more, for a family like theirs, is it really necessary to be so frugal?
Hmm...that's something to think about.
Chen Pingsheng called his driver and asked him to build a small swimming pool on the rooftop of the urban village.
Anyway, the rooftop is open-air and has such a large area, so it’s easy to add a swimming pool.
As long as you pay a lot of money, the project will be completed very quickly.
It’s just a pity that the flowers and plants he raised have to be moved.
An An also swam like this when she was a child. The difference was that at that time she went to the urban village to experience life for a short period of time.
And Xiao Jiye has always believed that they are just such a family.
Children should not swim for too long, half an hour is enough.
When An An picked him up and wiped him clean, she asked, "Jiye, are you happy with grandpa?"
"Very happy."
"When you grow up, Mommy will take you back to her side, okay?"
Is it good? Or not.
Xiao Jiye doesn't know how to answer this question.
"Mom, why are you acting so weird today?"
"Isn't it because I see you having fun swimming? Mom is happy. Don't worry, Jiye, I will definitely take you to live in a big house like this in the future."
"I'm not at all reassured."
Xiao Jiye said, "Mom, we can't do anything illegal. Your job as a nanny is pretty good, but you must not let anyone fire you again."
Okay...Xiao Jiye's mother's poverty is deeply rooted.
In his opinion, his own mother couldn't possibly be a rich person.
Chen Pingsheng still rode an electric scooter to take Xiao Jiye home. After they left, An An's nanny came back.
One of the nannies, who was over fifty years old, asked, "Boss An, is the young master gone?"
"Well...he's gone."
An An asked, "Auntie Wang, have you ever brought your own children to my house before?"
"Boss An, I...I..."
Wang Ma's son is also a talented person. After finding a girlfriend, he even boasted to others that they live in a big villa.
Mother Wang had no choice but to let them in for dinner once or twice.
Later, her son almost made this place his regular gathering place.
Someone reported to An An that Wang Ma, the dishonest nanny, should be fired. An An, who had not made a decision yet, decided not to pursue the matter today.
Didn’t you see how happy little Jiye was when he came in to play?
Her sons are all like this, so naturally Wang Ma's sons are the same.
Although this behavior is wrong, she really doesn't care anymore.
An An smiled and said, "Auntie Wang, I don't mean to blame you. I just want to say that people can pretend to be poor, but they can't really be poor.
"Similarly, you can give your son the villa to show off occasionally, but not too often."
She would not waste time on such trivial matters. If Aunt Wang had not been with their family for more than ten years, she would have been fired by the Household Management Office long ago.
She has too many houses across the country, and each one requires a nanny.
Similarly, because these houses are not occupied for a long time, they often become gathering places for nanny families.
Or they may give it to their relatives as a way to show off.
An An usually turns a blind eye to such things.
She is not like her second sister.
If Arya encountered such a thing, she would fire the person immediately without saying a word.
Her house is for her only. If the nanny brings someone else to live with her once, she will not want the house anymore.
It is even more impossible to stay here a second time.
If one person makes a mistake, all the staff in the room will be unemployed.
This is how she manages things, so naturally no one under her dares to commit a crime.
No matter what you say, others won't allow it.
It has to be said that this is the philosophy that Arya has always adhered to in the global financial market.
She is also the one in the family who looks most like a capitalist daughter. As long as I live a good life, who cares about you leeks?
Whenever you encounter a listed company that is easy to snipe, Erya will not care how much you lose.
They will just wave the money in their hands and ruthlessly knock you down one after another.
Finance is inherently ruthless.
If you don’t want to be a leek yourself, you can only cut other people’s leeks.
She is the kind of person who would rather let down all the shareholders in the world than let the shareholders let her down.
Erya has been like this since she was a child, and even Chen Pingsheng can't change her at all. It can only be said that she has lived too affluently since she was a child.
So rich that he has no empathy or understanding for ordinary people.
Of course, she is also extremely generous to those who are truly capable.
In her company, you don't need any social skills, you just need to show your talents.
Once you can help her earn 10 million a year, she will give you at least 3 million.
Therefore, the people in her company are also the highest-earning people in the global financial market.
It brings together a large number of top financial geniuses.
Because she is extremely talented in this area, she can naturally manage these people.
It should be said that both sisters have found the path in life that suits them best.
In contrast, Chen Lu is still constantly changing jobs and exploring.
The super rich second generation wants a meaningful life, and this meaning has nothing to do with money.
It’s just a very high spiritual pursuit.
Just as people need to have their own beliefs, they also need to find their own light.
It can only be said that Chen Pingsheng created such conditions for them, and the two sisters found the most suitable path for themselves after countless failures and losses.
The same goes for Xiao San Chen Lu. Perhaps it will take five or even ten years to find faith and the meaning of life.
But one day, he will definitely find it.
In the end, their father, Chen Pingsheng, gave them the opportunity to actively choose their own lives.
Unlike the two in the eldest sister's family, who seem to have a glorious life, their lives are actually arranged.
On the surface this seems fine, but who knows in reality?
When all the dividends of the times disappear, who is not floating up and down and busy in this?
…
August is finally here.
Peng Ying suggested that the Chen family hold a large family gathering. After Chen's father passed away and grandparents also died one after another, the oldest member of the Chen family was Peng Ying, who was over 80 years old.
She is already old, and Peng Ying has never interfered in family affairs. This time, she was probably persuaded by her younger sister.
I guess it’s because Hu Qilin was imprisoned.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade Chen Pingsheng and she didn't have the ability to do so, the younger sister rescued Hu Qilin, who had offended a family within the system.
We can only ask Peng Ying to come forward and request a family gathering.
As the saying goes, one generation becomes rich, the second generation maintains it, and only then can the third generation slowly produce aristocrats.
After all, the Chen family's rise was too short, so short that the family foundation, including the core spirit and culture, was not enough to form.
This is why accidents happen one after another among the second generation.
First, Song Chaoqun was arrested for allegedly intentionally hitting someone with his car, and now Hu Qilin is in big trouble for snatching a woman from someone.
In fact, this is not just a problem for their family. Most families also face the problem of difficulty in the second generation taking over.
From this we can see how difficult it is for wealthy families to become true aristocrats.
What it requires is not just family financial resources, but also internal foundation and culture.
When talking about the three most prominent families in modern times, we have to mention Zeng Guofan, a famous figure in the late Qing Dynasty.
He had set a glorious historical record of eight generations without a single loser.
This shows how strong the Zeng family's family background is.
To put it bluntly, the problems that happened to Song Chaoqun and Hu Qilin were essentially due to the inadequate education provided by Song Wu and Chen Qi.
The rise of both of them did not rely on their own real talents, but on the resources allocated to them by Chen Pingsheng.
From this, it can be seen that the two of them do not have the possibility to carry forward the family or even pass it on.
The best outcome is probably three generations.
At least from the current perspective, both of them are unable to keep this wealth, and their descendants are completely incapable of taking over this wealth.
The eldest sister’s two daughters, Xiao Ya and Xiao Le, were different. During their college years, they were carefully nurtured by Chen Pingsheng.
This is why I have been able to rise so quickly and smoothly within the system today.
The Chen family held a family meeting. They originally wanted to set the venue in Shanghai, but Erpi Ya stayed in Hong Kong and refused to come back.
Chen Pingsheng and Song Yanxi were both in Shenzhen, so they simply decided to move the meeting to Hong Kong.
Hong Kong is definitely a paradise for the rich, where they can get whatever they want.
If you don't have money, a pigeon cage is the home for most people.
The Chen family already has three generations, but they are still young.
The most important thing now is the development of the second generation. Needless to say, An An is the most promising one in the family.
It manages countless large enterprises.
Erpi Ya also took over nearly one trillion assets from her family. She is also good at making money, so her future will definitely not be too bad.
As for Chen Lu... he would be ignored even if he didn't mention it.
Although Chen Lu has a special status in the family, he doesn't like to talk much. Whenever there is a big meeting at home, he would rather sit in the corner and stay away from the crowd.
If you want to talk about big business, then go ahead and do it. Anyway, for now I just need to be a good HR intern in the HR department.
As for those who always talk about how big a business they are going to do, there is no doubt that they are usually spendthrifts.
His two sisters never talked about such things at the family table.
Chen Lu’s wife Su Xiaoxi is quite good. She is also low-key and is willing to listen carefully to whatever you say.
After listening to it, I will give everyone a round of applause. Su Xiaoxi and Chen Lu are a good match.
The location of the family meeting was not set anywhere else, but in Chen Pingsheng's own private club.
This private club is very secretive and is usually the place he uses exclusively to receive important figures or guests from the business and political circles.
Today it has become the place where the Chen family holds family gatherings.
My sister-in-law Song Wu has two children. The elder one, Song Chaoqun, was arrested, and the younger one, Song Siming, is not a good person either.
But because of his elder brother's previous experience, he can only behave himself now.
The two people from my eldest sister's family, Xiao Ya and Xiao Le, also came.
They both entered the system as soon as they graduated from university, and Xiao Ya has been there for almost twenty years.
Xiao Le also has seventeen years.
No matter how abundant the resources are within the system, you still need to gain experience.
Xiao Ya has already reached the department level, while Xiao Le is still training as the county secretary.
If you can reach the ministry before the age of fifty, it is considered a great success.
This is also a key step for the two sisters to completely cross the class barrier. When they get to the department, many things will be completely different.
This is the real strength of the place. If you stomp your feet in the city, even the rich people will tremble.
If we use characters from film and television dramas to describe him, Gao Qiqiang is not even qualified to sit at the side of the table in front of the ministerial boss.
She is only fit to sit at the table with the children and exchange a few polite words with their secretaries.
Because of Xiao Ya and Xiao Le's success, the eldest sister Chen Yao's status in the family has also become extraordinary.
At least he is much stronger than my younger sister and Song Wu.
Second only to Chen Pingsheng and Song Yanxi, the eldest sister has always been very down-to-earth. Since she can't do any big business, she just honestly guards the storefronts on Nanjing Road and runs supermarkets and department stores.
You can easily earn 100 million or 200 million a year. With this income, you are much better off than the average rich person.
The key is not to overthink it.
She is in her sixties and has started enjoying life.
"Pingsheng, our family is still a little short of people. Why don't you get Qilin out first?"
"Yes, big brother, Qilin is your nephew after all, you can't let him stay in there for too long."
Younger sister Chen Qi immediately interrupted and said that she had finally invited her mother out and could not miss this opportunity.
Chen Pingsheng sat there without saying anything, listening to his little sister making a fuss.
It was Xiao Le who took the initiative and said, "Aunt, I understand how you feel right now, but my uncle really can't do this. Qilin has violated a major system taboo this time. If it weren't for my uncle's reputation, everyone would have to give him some face. The reason he went to jail couldn't just be drunk driving."
Are you kidding? The girl's family is planning to marry a retired vice-minister.
He is a deputy minister in Guangdong. With such a high status, if a rich second-generation like you openly snatches her marriage away, where will she save her face?
As long as this matter is spread to others, everyone will help deal with Hu Qilin.
That's the rule.
"He's still a child. We can't let one mistake ruin his life!"
He is still young...what an excuse for a mother to protect him.
Unexpectedly, it would also appear in the mouth of his younger sister Chen Qi.
Chen Pingsheng snorted coldly, "I think you are getting more and more confused as you grow older, Chen Qi. You were ignorant before, but at least you were not stupid enough to cause trouble. Now you dare to say anything. With your attitude, even if Hu Qilin comes out this time, you will definitely cause greater trouble in the future.
"I, Chen Pingsheng, have worked hard for decades to start my own business. This is not to shield you from making mistakes. The law should be fair, and it can only be fair. Anyone in our family who breaks the law, regardless of the reason, should be punished accordingly. Trying to use family power to provide protection is extremely short-sighted and malicious."
