Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

"Dad, now that you have a bit of money, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

In the hot summer of August, the fierce sun blazed high in the sky.

After Chen Pingsheng finished his CEO course, he always felt an emptiness inside.

It was like a habit that had been maintained for a year was suddenly coming to an end.

Actually, although he gained a lot from the CEO course, he did not understand most of the professional knowledge.

The main issue was that his basic knowledge was too weak.

He was far from being a top-tier educated investor like Tong Zelan.

The spoiled brat sat next to him, and the little fart kid also sat next to him.

On his left and right, they acted as his little protectors.

"My wish is for you to start school already!"

Chen An'an was dumbfounded; she hadn't had enough fun yet, so why the rush to start school?

Given another year, she could make everyone in Nanluo Gu Alley aware of her name, Chen An'an.

"Ah~ it's only been a short month of summer vacation, and time has passed so quickly."

"Fast, isn't it?" Chen Pingsheng turned to look at her; indeed, it was quite fast.

"Dad, sister wants some milk. Can you make some for her?"

Chen Pingsheng went inside to get her bottle, with a little nipple on top. After the little fart kid took it, she began to giggle.

The father and his two daughters had already been sitting there for half an hour when Liu Fen arrived, accompanied by two cousins and three other female relatives.

The older generation was not like them now; every family would have four or five children.

This resulted in having an especially large number of relatives in Capital City.

It was the same back at the old home.

Sometimes it was hard to keep track, as some relatives looked familiar but their specific titles were unrecallable.

Liu Fen had been depressed for a while, but these days she had become lively again.

Mainly because the Vanke Shares had risen tremendously.

Day by day, she easily made tens of thousands.

She even became the stock genius of Old Liu's Family again, and Peng Ying started to learn stock trading from her.

Unfortunately, the market was still in a stock disaster.

Only Vanke Shares kept rising because there were a few big players battling fiercely above, which kept the stock price from ever falling.

Now, many big bosses had already fallen, including the famous Hengda, Baoneng, Vanke, and Peng City Subway.

Each one was a giant.

This battle, however, turned out to be a boon for those like them holding Vanke Shares.

He himself had entered the market early with 1.5 billion and was making a few million each day.

It was just uncertain how long it could last.

Cousin remarked, "Pingsheng, we all really owe you a big thanks. If you hadn't recommended Vanke to us, who knows how bad our losses would be?"

This was absolutely true.

Previously, relatives from Old Liu's family had always chased after Storm Technology.

It was his reminder that made some of them switch to buying Vanke.

The current situation was that thousands of stocks had ceased trading, with only Vanke standing uniquely prominent.

"Exactly."

The third cousin also said, "If you hadn't advised us to pull out of Storm Technology in advance, we would be crying at home right now. Those cousins of yours who didn't believe it, look at how much they've lost."

Chen Pingsheng smiled without saying a word; the stock market was indeed very easy to lose money if only bought for the short term.

Choosing a premium stock to hold for the long term was somewhat more stable.

Liu Fen and the others also had a tendency to follow trends.

Today, they would buy a bit of this because it went up; tomorrow, they'd disdainfully reject another because it went down.

Chen Pingsheng didn't intervene. After all, it was just a bit of money; he had even given Peng Ying a few million to play around with.

Peng Ying didn't dare to buy too much, only ten or twenty thousand each time.

With the current market situation of Vanke, there was absolutely no need to act.

Liu Fen and the others were indeed having a lively discussion, until Peng Ying came to call him for lunch.

His younger sister was already twenty-four this year.

Recently, when she was driving her newly purchased Porsche Cayenne to work, she was rear-ended.

The one pursuing her was a Corolla worth around a hundred thousand.

Chen Qi didn't ask the other party to compensate, but the person still insisted on being responsible.

They met and got to know each other through that incident.

He heard from Peng Ying that the other party was an elementary school teacher from out of town.

Living in rented housing in Capital City, Peng Ying quite liked him.

Knowing he was a teacher, she was especially impressed, always feeling that it was a very respectable profession.

They said it was to invite for dinner today, but it was actually to thank Chen Qi.

It wasn't really serious yet; they hadn't taken any substantial steps together.

Chen Pingsheng was not going.

It was his wife who reminded him; not to interfere too much as his younger sister also had her own life.

Knowing that the person was reliable was enough.

August.

He actually still had many things to take care of.

Mainly it was about the Fei Yangyang project; he needed to make a trip there in person.

Guangdong was a major labor-intensive province with many factories, attracting people from all over the country.

Gao Hu was now no longer into flight attendants; he was completely focused on spending that substantial amount of money.

The 4.5 billion he had invested earlier had already resulted in many stores being opened one after another.

There were also a large batch still undergoing renovations, and additionally, Tengying Headquarters was constantly conducting training every day.

Chen Pingsheng stayed there for half a month before he finally returned to Capital City.

The days reached mid-August.

Bai Lu's previously shot drama "Zhao Yao" was successfully purchased by a local TV station.

He also received a payment of ninety million.

With an investment of sixty million...

He had invested forty million, and it also turned into a hit drama.

Released in 2016, it perfectly connected with the explosive popularity of "Hua Qiangu."

As for that drama Shishi starred in, only thirty million was invested, but it brought back sixty million.

With the TV dramas invested in 2014, they were sequentially breaking even.

This year's Tengying financial statements were increasingly dazzling.

Yang Mi flew in from Zhejiang, still effortlessly chic as the reigning queen of influencers.

The top figure among the Eighty-Five Flowers.

"Chen Pingsheng, do you know that several new milk tea shops have opened in Magic City?"

"Is that the reason you came back?"

Yang Mi had harvested a lot from Bobo Milk Tea, and she was sure to be at the top of this year's income ranking for artists.

She might even surpass the long-standing leader at the top, Fan Haomen.

"I obviously wouldn't care about ordinary milk tea shops, but do you know who owns these ones?"

"Who?"

"Yang Baobei."

At this, Chen Pingsheng just casually acknowledged it, not caring at all.

This really infuriated Yang Mi, who had made a special trip back, "Chen Pingsheng, aren't you going to check it out? Yang Baobei is super hot right now, making it to top-tier popularity with just one variety show."

"What's there to see? You don't think just because she's famous, she can run a milk tea shop well, do you?"

Chen Pingsheng shook his head, "Besides, your fame, Queen Yang, is even bigger than hers; you hardly need to worry about her."

"True, haha."

Yang Mi loved hearing that, thoroughly delighted.

When it came to being conceited, she truly was in a league of her own.

Looking this gorgeous, admiring herself completely naked in the mirror first thing in the morning wasn't too much, right?

This was the first time Yang Mi seriously looked at Tengying's new headquarters building. When they were moving the headquarters, both she and Zhao Liying wanted to come back.

Chen Pingsheng didn't allow it.

There was simply no need; it wasn't something that required their presence.

Since Chen Pingsheng didn't offer her tea, Yang Mi went to stealthily brew some of his hidden Maofeng tea.

With such fine tea leaves, how could she not drink more?

It's foolish not to take advantage of a good deal.

"Chen Pingsheng, why do I hear that you're considering starting a coffee shop?"

"I'm thinking about it, but nothing's decided yet."

"You better not forget about your Mi when the time comes. I really trust you, and I feel secure investing money with you."

"Mi Mi, you do realize you're a few years younger than me, right?"

Chen Pingsheng gave her a dismissive look, and Yang Mi haughtily pushed out her chest, "I let you call me Mi because I like you; ordinary people wouldn't get that privilege."

Fine, Chen Pingsheng couldn't care less about that, as this woman has always been disrespectful of boundaries.

"The coffee shop might initially open in Magic City, and I might have to stay there for a while."

"Is that a good thing?"

Yang Mi's eyes sparkled, "We usually film in Zhejiang, so if you're in Magic City, it's closer. I'd be happy to have Tengying's headquarters moved there too.

"By the way, I went to eat at Fei Yangyang last night, and you can't charge me because I arranged for reporters to take photos. It should be in the news by tomorrow. Fei Yangyang needs all the help it can get, so whenever you need something, just ask me, Mi."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't leave you idle."

Chen Pingsheng put down the financial statement in his hand, only to realize it was already late into the noon.

He called Bai Xin to go have lunch with him.

He didn't really like going out alone with Yang Mi, mainly because this woman had too many fans.

Everywhere he went, he had to be careful not to be recognized, or he might be surrounded within minutes.

Yang Mi wore a black cap with a little yellow duck on it, along with a polar bear mask.

She was going for a kind of anti-cute look.

He still preferred eating at Fei Yangyang, where the food was cheap and tasty.

Since Yang Mi had finally returned to the Capital City, it was naturally his responsibility to treat her to a meal, lest she went around spreading rumors that he was too stingy to buy her a meal.

Fei Yangyang was everywhere in Capital City now, so convenient that he didn't even need to drive; a simple turn after getting off the building and he was there. Coincidentally, he bumped into his little sister Chen Qi there.

She was still with that elementary school teacher from before, their relationship seemed to be progressing quickly.

Little sister Chen Qi still wasn't much for dressing up.

When she was very young, it was Chen Pingsheng who carried her along to catch fish and shrimp.

Now she had grown up and was starting to talk about marriage.

"Bro, you're here too!"

Chen Qi was still a bit nervous, afraid her brother wouldn't like this one either.

Actually, Chen Pingsheng just simply hoped that she could marry well.

As for the standards of marrying well, there were no standards.

He had investigated her new boyfriend.

Came from the countryside, no background; managing to become a teacher in a small school in Capital City was all thanks to his college professor's strong recommendation.

A hardworking person, only had one girlfriend from high school through college, meeting Chen Qi was unexpected.

Wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, he knew Chen Qi's circumstances were good but not that good.

The highest he could imagine was being a millionaire.

The disparity in their statuses made him quite insecure.

It was always Chen Qi who took the initiative.

Eating in the hall with Yang Mi around was out of the question; they had to book a private room.

Chen Qi sat opposite him, kept whispering, "Bro, Hu Lin wanted to invite you for a meal several times, but you were always too busy."

"Really busy, went over to Guangdong."

After a pause, Chen Pingsheng added, "If you two really want to talk things through, invite his parents to Capital City someday, let's all sit down and discuss."

"Bro, you agree?" Chen Qi was delighted.

"You are already twenty-four, if I don't agree now, I really fear you'll end up an old maid."

Who's he talking about? Who's he talking about?

Suddenly, Yang Mi silently kicked him.

"Chen Pingsheng, there's something wrong with your thinking. What about being twenty-four? Should one find a man at twenty-four? Look at me, I'm not with a man, and I'm still living just fine," Yang Mi protested.

"Give me a break,"

Chen Pingsheng said, "My sister is from an ordinary family, how can she compare with you, Mi?"

Yang Mi's big eyes, accentuated by her Karizia makeup, glared roundly. He really dared to call his own sister ordinary.

Yang Mi took off her mask and cap, and the elementary school teacher Hu Lin was quite startled.

Isn't this the superstar who only appears on TV?
