Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

There were apples and bananas.

Also, Chen Qi mentioned that his sister-in-law liked durian, so he bought a big one.

After arriving here, it was clear that he felt even less confident.

This completely contradicted what Chen Qi had said about his brother just having a little bit of money.

He was actually living in such a beautiful, large Siheyuan where you could even grow vegetables at home.

And it was located in Nanluo Gu Alley.

"Brother, you're back."

"I'm back." Your next read awaits at M-V-L

"Hu Lin brought some things to see you."

"I know. Your sister-in-law will be back soon, ask her to cook at home."

Chen Pingsheng didn't say much, Hu Lin felt that he was somewhat looking down on him.

Actually, no matter what Chen Pingsheng did, Hu Lin would always have that feeling.

The gap brought by wealth disparity simply couldn't be bridged by a few polite inquiries.

It could only be worn down over time.

Moreover, what could he talk to you about?

Chen Pingsheng himself couldn't even figure it out.

But he knew that coming to this large courtyard, his younger sister's boyfriend would only feel more disheartened.

That was a very normal emotion.

Chen Pingsheng called his wife; it would be impolite not to have anyone greet his younger sister's boyfriend when she brought him home.

Peng Ying had gone out with Liu Fen and the kids, and they were on their way back.

Song Yanxi still had a lot of class, any random outfit she wore was worth hundreds of thousands. How could she not have class?

Women still needed to rely on their clothes; she graciously bought some groceries and came back.

And personally went to cook four dishes and a soup.

Hu Lin felt a bit more normal after Peng Ying returned.

He wasn't as nervous because he had already met Peng Ying before.

The elders liking him was the best outcome.

As for the rest, it couldn't be forced.

Even Song Yanxi knew that the disparity brought by their families was not something that could be resolved with just a meal.

In the future, it was destined to reflect in all aspects of life.

Hoping that Chen Qi would always have a good outcome.

Three days passed.

Hu Lin's mother brought his elder brother and sister-in-law to Capital City.

Chen Pingsheng picked them up from the airport in a Rolls-Royce, which took the older folks by surprise.

Chen Pingsheng courteously introduced them to Capital City.

Then they headed to a large hotel they had booked in advance to discuss the marital arrangements between the two.

The old folks hardly talked along the way.

After arriving at the hotel's private room, Peng Ying mentioned she also came from a rural area, and the old folks felt a bit better.

Discussing the marriage.

The wedding would be held in Capital City.

The groom's side would also hold a celebration.

As Chen Qi's elder brother, Chen Pingsheng would prepare an apartment for them as a wedding house.

A Mercedes-Benz S600, two small storefronts.

The house was near where Hu Lin worked, a two-hundred-something square meter, finely decorated apartment.

The groom's side didn't need to pay a penny.

Furthermore.

They would also build a small villa in their rural hometown for the bride's parents; that was the dowry from her side.

Not too much, as Chen Qi herself was a billionaire.

Hu Lin's mother just asked one question whether he needed to be adopted into the family?

If so, as long as her son could have a good life, she had no objections.

Peng Ying shook her head, that was completely unnecessary as she had her own son.

The reason for those provisions was simply because their family was well-off.

There was no other meaning.

They say dating is the matter of two people, marriage, however, involves two families.

Chen Qi was also going to visit Hu Lin's hometown with him, and Chen Pingsheng didn't interfere anymore.

If she could find someone she liked whose character was also good, that was enough for him as an older brother.

As for the rest, they would slowly adjust later.

After all, there was a huge difference between the two families now.

Didn't you see Hu Lin's mother was always smiling and not talking much?

Even the question she asked was just about whether he needed to be adopted.

How could it be possible if the two families were similar?

Regardless, marrying into this family was a peak moment for Hu Lin.

His elder brother was quite sincere, always working on the farm, and his sister-in-law was also quite nice.

A very decent family.

Chen Qi might still be able to adapt to this kind of family, but Chen An'an as she grew up would definitely not be able to.

You could tell from her monthly allowance of several hundred thousand.

Habits developed from childhood can't be changed just for one person.

...

The younger sister followed Hu Lin to his hometown.

Chen Pingsheng resumed his old routine, going to work, coming home from work, and spending time with his wife watching their spoiled brat.

Life went on until the end of August.

Lin Jia from Tenghui Capital completed an investigation of the domestic coffee market and presented him with a detailed data report.

According to the investigation, the main consumer group for coffee was working professional women of various ages,

with those aged between twenty-five to thirty-five being the most numerous.

Furthermore, unlike the consumer group for bubble tea, coffee was seen as a lifestyle choice reflecting a petite bourgeoisie attitude.

Starbucks had capitalized on this aspect, which is why it had become a global phenomenon.

In a certain coffee shop.

Chen Pingsheng, unusually wearing black sunglasses, had been sitting there for quite some time.

The coffee shop was small but distinctive.

Usually, the business was good; he had been drinking coffee here for over ten days and couldn't discern any petite bourgeoisie attitude from it,

whether it was the sugared or unsweetened variety.

If he hadn't even reached the basic threshold of coffee, how could he run a coffee shop?

Merely by having more money?

Don't joke; there are many more wealthy than him in China.

He had so far to go.

By using celebrity resources?

Celebreties could quickly attract the younger crowd, but the audience for coffee was clearly the urban professional.

These people all have their independent thinking; relative to bubble tea, the impact of celebrity resources would be much less.
