Chapter 112: Chapter 98: Pretty Unique, Huh!

Capital City.

Shijingshan Water Cloud Space headquarters.

After the Night of Fashionable Ladies concluded, a newly wealthy Chen Pingsheng immediately announced he would invest fifty million in Shijingshan to build his own beauty academy.

He had held this idea since last year, and now was simply the right time to realize it.

Earning over two billion yuan all at once, it wasn't enough just to be happy about it himself.

At the headquarters villas, he specifically called everyone over for a meeting.

Chen Pingsheng said, "To celebrate our successful event, every beautician in training at headquarters will be awarded ten thousand yuan, and each beautician working at Water Cloud Space will get a fifty thousand yuan bonus."

Here it came again, the boss's quirky habit of giving away money the moment he felt like it.

There were one hundred and fifty beauticians in training and twenty-eight staff members, including management.

This round of bonuses totalled almost three million yuan.

Though it was a considerable sum, it would make the over one hundred young girls who left home to work here excited for several days.

And he was more than happy to spend like this.

Below, applause roared; the boss was indeed most handsome when giving away money.

Chen Pingsheng continued, "On the twenty-eighth of this month, four new stores we've invested nearly sixty million yuan into, inside the Second Ring Road, will open simultaneously. Going forward, each store will have four shareholders on-site: the store manager, a consultant, and two Grade-A beauticians."

"The store manager will hold an 8% share, while the consultant and both Grade-A beauticians will have a 5% share each."

The consultant's role is to take charge of customer management and upgrades, considered a managerial talent.

Grade-A beauticians are in charge of providing services to customers, belonging to the front-line staff."

"The reason for giving Grade-A beauticians shares is mainly to consider that some people are naturally not suited for management yet excel at maintaining their own clientele. We must provide such outstanding employees with an opportunity."

"Further, I would like to announce another matter. There's no need for management and outstanding staff to spend money buying these shares. Just excel in your work, because if someone overtakes you or we deem you unfit, I'm sorry, but your shares will become someone else's."

This competitive mechanism is essential in every business.

After he finished saying this, no one had any objections.

Instead, everyone thought it was very fair, meaning a position at Water Cloud Space was not fixed.

If you're excellent, you move up—that's that.

Do you know how much money a 5% dividend share represents?

That amounts to five hundred thousand yuan. Water Cloud Space's investment per store has already surpassed ten million yuan.

You could potentially earn several million yuan from a 5% share in a year. Who wouldn't want such shares?

And all without spending a dime to acquire them.

Maintaining a fierce competition is the foundation of any good business.

Chen Pingsheng further stated, "After the opening of these new stores, I personally will invest another 140 million through Tenghui Capital into Water Cloud Space, with fifty million allocated to build the Water Cloud Space Beauty Academy and ninety million used for expanding the Capital City market."

"Additionally, the company will provide each store with four Accord cars and two drivers for doorstep services. If you have your driver's license, you can drive yourself, or you can arrange for a driver if you don't. Investing in doorstep service is a sector we must focus on for the future."

He didn't say much else, leaving the specifics for them to handle.

As long as the strategic direction was clear, that was sufficient.

The primary reason for choosing the Accord, especially in the two hundred thousand yuan range, is because it has the least problems and the best reputation.

You can drive it with ease.

He put a lot of effort into Water Cloud Space; there's no room for failure.

After distributing the bonuses, Chen Pingsheng made the future direction a bit clearer to them and let them discuss the rest amongst themselves.

He had already bought the car and arranged the driver. Whoever couldn't handle the doorstep service would be fired.

It was that simple.

He mainly believed that wealthy people's time is always tight; if they could enjoy high-end wellness services at home anytime, it would significantly boost Water Cloud Space's reputation among clients.

With a good reputation, you can earn big money, and with big earnings, he could continue to hand out generous red envelopes to these girls.

He never talks about so-called grand visions or dreams. Money in hand trumps everything.

Soon it was Saturday again.

Chen Pingsheng suddenly realized he only had a Maybach S680 and the Bentley of his wife, Song Yanxi, left in the garage.

His wife was due in June and was currently not fit to drive.

After causing a stir for a while, Chen An'an unexpectedly quieted down a bit.

Upon inquiry, he found out she had recently developed an interest in being a young hero.

One time, her aunt Chen Qi went to pick her up and saw a pickpocket on the street.

Chen An'an crossed her little chubby arms in front her chest, furrowed her little brows, and yelled in her soft, glutinous voice to catch the thief.

The thief was caught, and she was praised by both her classmates and teachers.

This was no small feat, considering she was known at school for her family's modest wealth and her backpack full of snacks.

If she wasn't scolded during exams, it was already lucky; as for a teacher's praise, they would need to think it over for a while to come up with suitable words.

The little girl felt a high point in her life.

She had just discovered how joyful doing good deeds could be.

Since then, she's been looking for ways to do good every day.

Her methods were rather eccentric—when classmates felt like crying, she would go comfort them.

After consoling them, she'd also be happy.

If classmates didn't feel like crying, she would make them cry, then comfort them.

She'd laugh heartily again.

Feeling like a beacon of light, if she didn't do a couple of good deeds in a day, she felt restless.

"Chen An'an, what are you looking at now?"

"Dad, I'm reading 'Thirty-Six Stratagems for Good People'."

"Can you read?"

"I can't, but it has pictures, doesn't it?"

Chen An'an pointed at the colorful illustrations, the nearly seven-year-old little girl still had such unique interests.

"Stop reading, you're going car shopping with your dad tomorrow."

"Don't we already have cars at home?" Chen An'an was not interested; all she wanted now was to do good.

"If we had enough, would your dad need to reward himself after making money?"

Chen Pingsheng snorted at her, and Chen An'an immediately behaved.

The next day, he brought Chen Qi to drive the family to look at cars.

It was the same familiar car center.

Chen An'an found no interest in all those big cars anymore.

Don't know how many they have at home.

However, it was the chat among a few salespeople that caught her attention.

"This month has been disastrous, finally found a decent job, but haven't sold a single car, and will surely be fired next month."

"Seriously, there was this guy last time that was really shameless. He was only buying a car for a little over two hundred thousand but insisted I join him for dinner, and he didn't even pay the bill."

It's not easy being in sales either, just like Li Lingxia who recently joined.

God knows what she went through to replace this job, the hardships she endured drifting northward.

If she can't sell a few cars this month, she'll have to resort to eating instant noodles again next month.

"Sister, do you need help?"

Chen An'an ran over and tugged at her hand.

Li Lingxia didn't know where this little kid had come from, but she seemed rather cute.

She smiled and said, "Yes, big sister really needs help. Where are your parents, little one?"

"Over there."

Chen An'an tilted her head and thought, "Then if I help you, would that count as doing a good deed?"

"What a cute little girl. If you could help your sister, of course, it would be a good deed. But you're too little to help with the kind of help sister needs."

Chen An'an was getting excited and giggled, "That's not necessarily true, sister. You want to sell cars, right? My dad is here to buy cars, and I can ask him to buy a few from you."

She started to toddle off in search of her father.

Li Lingxia was amused; who knew where such an adorable little girl had appeared from.

Chen Pingsheng was on the other side looking at the big G, believing every man's life is incomplete without one.

The salesperson, knowing he had money, introduced it with great enthusiasm.

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class, the pinnacle of the big G, with the iconic red B logo.

It looked just like the Black King Kong.

Massive tires, an especially high chassis, perfect for overcoming any terrain.

But the price was also genuinely touching.

A standard big G was three times more expensive, starting at seven million.

The highest end model had an opening price of twelve million.

Truly the ceiling in the off-road vehicle category.

Absolute dominance over all others.

Chen Pingsheng really liked this car; sitting in it gave him an immense sense of security.

Buying a car had to be done under the company's name, for reasons understood by those who know.

He completed the purchase of the Black King Kong with a card swipe, it cost a landed price of seven million eight hundred thousand.

Driving it around aimlessly was simply too enjoyable.

"Dad, I have a good deed I want you to do."

The little kid didn't know what was going on; his dad had just finished swiping his card.

Turns out, she had dragged him over to where Li Lingxia was. They sold every kind of car there; as long as you wanted to buy, they could secure it.

"Dad, this sister is just short of hitting her sales target. Can you help her out?"

Chen An'an was looking up expectedly, holding onto his big hand.

This little fart kid had many interests, but he thought that doing good deeds was perhaps the only slightly normal one among them.

The rest were, frankly, useless.

Of course, even that was just slightly normal.

"Your dad just bought one car; let's see what your mom likes, and your dad will buy another one with her."

Li Lingxia never expected that the little girl would pull such a big client to her. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class was the most luxurious car their dealership offered.

Starting at seven million.

Another salesperson had just sold one, grinning wide as a chrysanthemum.

That one sale was enough for them to live off for a month.

Song Yanxi pinched Chen An'an's little face, her daughter always had some weird and wonderful interests.

Well, just look around. Buying another car was no big deal.

After learning that her family could pay in full for a Mercedes-Benz G-Class, Li Lingxia wouldn't bother showing them cars under a million.

And of course, they wouldn't be interested in those either.

"Honey, I actually quite like Ferraris."

Song Yanxi wasn't even twenty-seven yet, and it was perfectly normal for women her age to like Ferraris.

For men over thirty like Chen Pingsheng, interest in Ferraris usually waned.

In contrast, they preferred rugged vehicles like the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

"If you like it, just choose one. Although you can't drive it now, you can once the second baby is born."

"Okay." Song Yanxi browsed through the cars for a while and finally settled on the most beautiful red Ferrari F12.

The on-the-road price approached six million.

She really liked it herself, and it made her happy just to look at it at home.

Saleswoman Li Lingxia was even happier; everyone knew the high profits Ferraris commanded.

With her selling one, it was like ordinary people buying ten.

Chen An'an tugged at her hand again, looking pitifully, "Mom, this sister is still one car short!"

"Little fart kid, are you never going to end this?"

Chen Pingsheng was about to scold her when Chen An'an's tears almost started to fall.

In the acting department, she definitely had some talent.

"Right, right, that's enough, it's enough."

Li Lingxia was not one to be greedy. She was already grateful that the little girl was willing to help her, and if it led to the girl getting a spanking, she would feel uncomfortable enjoying the money earned.

It was Song Yanxi who intervened to soothe the situation, "Never mind, husband, don't scold her. I've been wanting to buy a Cayenne myself, and having a suitable SUV is just so convenient."

Chen Pingsheng was always happy to fulfill his wife's wishes, but the little one would surely get a spanking if her requests became excessive.

The Cayenne wasn't too expensive.

For the top model with a 3.0T engine, the on-the-road price was one million one hundred thousand.

He bought it to the delight of his wife.

Chen An'an, who was just about to cry, turned her head and giggled instantly.
