Chapter 806 The Next Stop Story

The next day.

The news that Chen Lu spent more than 8 million yuan on a dinner for everyone began to spread throughout the company.

Such a wealthy and powerful man suddenly appeared in the small human resources department.

How can we not be surprised? Other departments are extremely envious.

It’s a pity that from that day on, Chen Lu never came to their company again.

He didn't even show up in this small HR department. The department head notified the HR department and processed his personal resignation.

As a result, it took Zhao Kai two days to contact him personally.

"Where are you going, Old Four?"

"I'm at the Baiyun Dream Fund."

"Fuck... What's wrong with you? Entering Tengying Group is like entering your own home. You can go there just by saying you want to."

The Dream Fund is managed by Chu Qiuyan, the former college entrepreneurship goddess. It is not a small company like theirs.

Dream Fund Management controls dozens or even hundreds of listed groups, and its available investment funds amount to 30 billion US dollars.

It is said that it is the dream of ordinary people, and whoever can get support from the dream fund will have the hope of transcending class.

Zhao Kai was extremely envious, "Old Four, can I come over and hang out with you?"

"You want to come too? Okay, I'll tell Aunt Qiuyan."

Chen Lu felt that Zhao Kai was quite capable. He was the kind of person who climbed up from the bottom and had an average family background since childhood.

"Then I'll wait for your good news."

If he could go to the Dream Fund, Zhao Kai would definitely not stay here any longer.

On the other side, Chen Lu drove himself to the Dream Fund.

Chu Qiuyan has been following her father since college, and has now become a well-known investment queen in Guangdong.

Unlike Bai Xin and Song Wu, Chu Qiuyan has always been very dedicated to her career.

Decades of consistent hard work have earned her the title of Investment Queen today.

It is hard to imagine that this queen-like figure was once so poor, helpless and strong.

I wore a summer T-shirt that was so white that it looked yellow throughout high school.

Chu Qiuyan is not young anymore. In fact, the first group of people who followed Chen Pingsheng are no longer young.

Time has taken away their youth, but also brought them extremely high social status.

This is the result of their decades of hard work.

It was Su Xiaoxi who suggested that Chen Lu come to the Dream Fund.

It is becoming increasingly difficult for entrepreneurs to succeed in this era.

Anyone who can still achieve success is one in a million.

It just so happened that the Dream Fund gathered a large number of such people. If he wanted to learn how to create, the best way would be to stay in the Dream Fund for two years.

Chu Qiuyan is indeed different from before. Now, just by sitting there, without saying a word, she can give you a very imposing feeling.

Add to that the suit and watch she's wearing, and the title of career queen is perfect for her.

Chu Qiuyan did not receive any notification from the chairman, which means that Chen Lu came to her on his own initiative.

What does he want to get here?

"Chen Lu, after you graduated, you first worked in the R&D department of Tengfei Group for less than two months, and then went to the HR department of a small company like Ankang for less than half a year. I'm a little surprised that you took the initiative to come to me this time."

To Chen Lu, Chu Qiuyan is not only a veteran of the company, but also his elder and a respectable aunt.

What Chu Qiuyan said was obviously telling Chen Lu that you can't stay in any place for more than a few months, so how long do you want to stay with me this time?

Chen Lu replied, "Aunt Qiuyan, it was actually my wife Xiaoxi who suggested I come to you. As your father's only son, I've never found my life's purpose or meaning. I originally wanted to join our family's charity, but I don't have creative skills, so I wouldn't be able to develop a high level of philanthropy. So, I wanted to come to you to learn some creative skills."

Chu Qiuyan still had some understanding for him. "Your father did so many great things in his life and helped so many people. He also educated your two sisters, who were very successful. As for you, Chen Lu, I've heard An An and your second sister mention you many times. They say you live a very tangled life. You want to work hard, but you don't know where to go. To put it bluntly, you've never experienced hardship and don't understand the true nature of society. Naturally, you don't understand what the term wealth creation actually means."

“My father actually taught me a lot, but I didn’t really learn it at that time.”

"understand."

Chu Qiuyan said, "You've been in a very high position since you were born. Things that ordinary people would struggle their entire lives to obtain are now within your reach. You don't even need to reach out; plenty of people will hand these things over to you. Even someone as powerful as your father can't pass on his life experiences and wisdom to you without your consent."

Chen Lu did not deny this. His father spent a lot of energy on him and even accompanied him through junior high and high school.

My father has come this far, but he still hasn't made any progress.

I can only say that I didn’t know how to cherish it at that time.

This is why we miss each other again and again. The word "cherish" usually only appears to those who are lacking.

It is indeed difficult to cherish something that he is born with.

"Aunt Qiuyan, do you think it's too late for me to cherish you now?"

"Most people would definitely be too late, but you are different. You have so many opportunities. As long as you are willing to learn down-to-earth, it is never too late."

After all, Chen Lu still has opportunities that most people don't have.

Chu Qiuyan wanted to transfer him to the market research department of the Dream Fund.

Specifically responsible for tracking the actions of grassroots entrepreneurs.

Record and analyze their business practices.

For Chen Lu, this was a very novel and good learning experience.

In the past, his father always took the initiative to teach him and he learned passively.

Now he wants to take the initiative.

Chu Qiuyan also made one request: after he went there, he could no longer use the other funds in his hands.

He could only use every salary he earned, and like other colleagues, he had to start everything from scratch and give up the wealth that was within his reach.

In fact, it just means asking him to give up his golden identity as the chairman's son.

If he goes to the grassroots level with this identity, does he still need to train?

What kind of interpersonal relationships can't be handled?

How can you understand wealth creation if you don’t truly understand the various aspects of society?

All major business activities are essentially just studying the weaknesses of human nature.

Ordinary people have risk anxiety and lack the ability to resist risks.

Rich people create something for you called insurance.

Ordinary people want to get rich quickly and also want to get something for nothing.

Financial institutions create stocks for you and tell you that you can make money even in your sleep by buying them.

Ordinary people like to make impulse purchases, but they often have no money in their pockets.

They create something for you called consumer loan, or this or that.

I tell you this is called enjoying the future in advance, but in reality it is just a credit card that you can never pay off.

The rich want to increase the value of houses, and through major networks, including TV and movies, they tell you that a marriage without a house is unhappy.

The first thing your mother-in-law asks you when she sees you is: Do you have a house?

The invisible net surrounds everyone. It is like a big hand, pushing you to run wildly along the predetermined path.

And every step you take and every stair you step on will create so-called passive income for them.

That is to create wealth.

Only by understanding human nature can we truly understand what it means to create wealth.

Chu Qiuyan believed that the chairman would have taught his son this simple social truth ten years ago.

It’s a pity that no matter how wise a person is, he cannot wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.

Undoubtedly, Chen Lu, who liked to lie down since he was a child, had forgotten too many of the things his father had said.

These are priceless and valuable experiences for ordinary people.

Whenever the chairman wants to give a lecture, the number of people who want to take his class time will probably have to line up from where he is now to France.

But Chen Lu, who has all this, does not cherish it. This is human nature.

The inertia that even the chairman cannot change.

Chen Lu accepted Chu Qiuyan's advice and put aside his status as the crown prince of the group for two years, trying to enter the world of thousands of entrepreneurs like a truly ordinary employee.

Use an ordinary heart to understand their growth, and use your own eyes to see their world.

Feel what life is like.

Looking at Chen Lu's confused look, Chu Qiuyan just felt a little funny, the person who once illuminated her way forward like light.

Now it was her turn to teach his son.

The chairman of the board twenty years ago would never have imagined that this would happen today. Even someone as strong as him could not accomplish anything.

All I can say is that fatherly love is sometimes always a passive acceptance for children.

Chen Pingsheng wanted to teach Chen Lu well and also wanted to train him to be a qualified successor.

Along the way, he taught him everything he could.

It’s just a pity that Chen Lu, who passively accepted it, didn’t inherit even one percent or one thousandth of his father’s abilities.

Otherwise, I would never come to see her like this.

Since he has come to her, Chu Qiuyan must use the most responsible attitude to help him through the most confusing part of the journey.

…

Chen Lu went to the Dream Fund and personally met Chu Qiuyan. Chen Pingsheng only found out about this later.

Chu Qiuyan took the initiative to call him and mentioned her intentions.

She wanted Chen Lu to be a market researcher for two years in the true sense, and during this process he could no longer use his prince's card.

He is not allowed to tell other colleagues, including entrepreneurs, about his identity.

Chen Pingsheng did not express any opinion. He had already taught Chen Lu everything he should have taught him.

The rest of the journey is not in the classroom, but under his own feet.

Even Chen Lu, as a father, cannot judge what his future will be like.

"What makes you laugh so helplessly?"

Song Yanxi rarely saw this expression on her man's face.

Chen Pingsheng said, "It's your precious son. He went to the Dream Fund to look for Chu Qiuyan."

"Why are you looking for her? Is he changing jobs again?"

"Well... I went to ask her for advice and learn from her experience."

Song Yanxi was speechless. "Didn't you bring Chu Qiuyan here? Without you, she wouldn't be where she is today. What's wrong with Chen Lu? If he doesn't come to you, he should go to her."

"The father teaches his son, but the son does not want to."

Chen Pingsheng sighed, "Your son is quite confused right now. He wants to achieve something that will make you proud, but he doesn't know what he can do. Perhaps Qiuyan would be a good teacher for him."

"Even you can't teach it well, how can Chu Qiuyan do it?"

"This is the biggest difference between her and me. I'm his father, and he only half-listens to whatever I say. You're his mother, and you've also raised so many talented female elites. How could you not understand the principle that family members are inferior to others?"

It was precisely because of this understanding that Song Yanxi had not interfered in her son's affairs over the years.

Even on such a major matter as marrying Su Xiaoxi, she, as a mother, only retained her personal opinion.

"Let's not talk about him. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Besides, we now have Xiao Jiye, Chen Youcai and Xiao Wuyou. Raising them well is our final responsibility in this life."

Song Yanxi said "hmm" softly. Today was the day they were going to school to attend a teachers' party.

Chen Pingsheng even dressed up specially, taking out his decent old cadre uniform and adding his half-white hair to his temples.

A typical example of someone becoming more charming as they age.

Song Yanxi smiled and said, "Husband, I'm afraid you can really charm a lot of little girls like this."

"Yeah, I think I'm pretty handsome too."

"Don't be so conceited. Today is just an ordinary teachers' dinner. I really like this profession. When Jiye grows up a little, I want to return to my own Shuiyunjian University in the Magic City and stay there to use the last bit of my talent to cultivate good talents for the next generation of Shuiyunjian."

No matter how much Song Yanxi has invested in the health industry now, Shuiyunjian is still the root she is most reluctant to leave.

She decided to stay there for the rest of her life, and Chen Pingsheng expressed his understanding.

But where will the rest of his life go?

Chen Pingsheng set a small goal for himself: before he turns 80, he will focus on training three generations to make large investments in global industries.

After he turns eighty, he will completely let go of the burdens and responsibilities and live freely as he pleases.

Go climb the highest mountain in the world and learn to surf on the sea.

Find a big mountain and make a living by hunting.

Life is short, so there should always be some time to indulge yourself as you please.

The middle school that Song Yanxi attends is not a famous school, it is just an ordinary middle school near the urban village.

Most of the students who come here to study are children from ordinary families.

Families that can afford it generally buy expensive housing in school districts and send their children to prestigious middle schools.

I don’t know who invented the concept of school district housing, but this concept alone has kept countless parents busy day and night.

If teachers from non-famous schools have a dinner together, they naturally won’t go to a big place, but will just have it in the school cafeteria.

Before eating, we have to listen to the principal speak for half an hour, followed by speeches from leaders of all levels.

Standard procedures are essential.

When drinking, you must first toast to the school leaders and flatter them before picking up your chopsticks.

The young teachers who come later are not familiar with these things, so there will be special elderly people to teach them.

Until they all understand the rules of the workplace.

Some teachers are more straightforward. If they see others whispering bad things about a school leader, they will also say something.

Then the next day, someone reported his words to a school leader.

This is commonly known as being sabotaged in the workplace.

There is a reason why Chen Pingsheng feels that the teaching quality of this school is average.

Considering the drinking culture in this school, it would be strange if it could be good.

When teachers are forced to accept these unspoken rules of the workplace, who isn't living in this circle?

Helpless, helpless, I feel helpless!

Chen Pingsheng discovered the drawbacks of this thing twenty years ago. After the group underwent three major restructurings and fired countless group managers, he was able to implement the bottom-up management concept.

Now it seems that it couldn't be more correct.
