Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled
Chapter 166: Chapter 146 This Uncle is Kind of Nice

Zhao Feifei had proactively posted a sign at the door indicating she was out on an errand.

It took her half an hour to finish serving all the customers who were waiting in line.

When they got into Bai Xin's car, Zhao Feifei curiously looked it over from top to bottom.

She'd never been in such a nice car in her life and felt that if she rode in it a few more times, she might corrupt her own values.

As for Chu Qiuyan, she felt a bit scared to even move, so once she sat down, she stayed completely still.

"What are you two doing?"

"Nervous."

"Nervous about what?"

With a giggle, Bai Xin said, "Let me tell you, the uncle at our house, he has so many cars, it's insane. He has this habit of not driving them much after a few months, and then he just gives them away."

"Being his only personal secretary, I'm just waiting day by day for him to randomly toss me one of those cars he doesn't drive."

"At that moment, I would reach a small peak in life."

Bai Xin laughed loudly and exaggeratedly while driving the Rolls-Royce with one hand.

"So the uncle on the bicycle is that rich?"

Zhao Feifei recalled how casually he sat in the chair yesterday and hadn't noticed him shining with gold.

"Rich, that's for sure."

"He bought another Siheyuan in Nanluo Gu Alley this month, a full payment of two hundred million. You haven't seen his house; it's ridiculously grand. The courtyard in the middle is super large, surrounded by tall trees on all four sides. It's incredibly beautiful. Living in such a big Siheyuan for retirement would be extremely pleasant," said Bai Xin.

"I have no hope of that in this lifetime, but it's still possible to stay there often."

"With so much money, why would he think of replaceing us?"

Zhao Feifei tilted her head and couldn't figure it out after a long while.

"Who could ever guess the uncle's thoughts!"

Bai Xin quickly brought them to the headquarters of Tengying, where the boss's car naturally had a reserved parking space.

Not too many cars would park nearby.

If someone happened to block the boss's car by parking, they'd be in for it.

The security would be fired.

Yang Qian came down to receive them, but by the door, she asked them to wait in the resting area for a while.

"Shishi is still inside discussing a partnership, please wait a moment."

"Shishi, which Shishi?"

"Who else but the one who acted in 'Startling by Each Step'?"

"Her?"

Zhao Feifei was overjoyed; she hadn't expected to meet her idol on this visit.

Bai Xin was unfazed, considering their company was now a top-tier entertainment firm.

There were no celebrities they couldn't meet.

To any celebrity who came to their place, they were just ordinary people in front of the uncle.

The uncle truly wouldn't invest just because you're beautiful and famous.

Otherwise, the Fairy with her wealthy flair wouldn't have left empty-handed either.

It wasn't long before Chen Pingsheng came out.

His investments in the entertainment industry only needed a few minutes.

He had personally received this famous celebrity, which was a special case.

The TV show she was involved in had a decent return of 200%.

He had only invested thirty million in it.

The return period would take a year and a half, which was comparatively slow.

"You're here; come on in and have a seat."

Zhao Feifei was very excited; if it weren't for the poor timing, she would have definitely asked for an autograph right then.

Being this close to a star, especially her favorite celebrity.

Her heartbeat quickened.

"Sister Shishi, I really love your performance in 'Startling by Each Step'; you were amazing."

Shishi wasn't the kind of actress who dazzles at first glance but has an elegant demeanor that becomes more appealing the more you watch her.

Assuming they were friends invited by Chen Pingsheng, she greeted them warmly.

In fact, these female celebrities from the entertainment industry were quite keen on seeking investments from Tengying.

After all, Tengying had earned a resounding slogan outside.

The Sharp-eye of Drama Investments, Never a Loss.

There hasn't been a single drama invested in by Tengying that lost money.

Last year, they invested fifteen million in Dilraba's urban romance drama,

and the return was thirty million.

It's not bad at all, just perfect to invest in Shishi's side.

"None of you have eaten yet, have you? I'm a bit hungry too, so let's go eat together. There's a new Fei Yangyang that just opened nearby."

Since it was mealtime, Shishi found it hard to decline.

Besides, this person had just invested thirty million in her.

"So, even big bosses like you enjoy eating at Fei Yangyang, huh?"

Zhao Feifei felt a sense of closeness, "I thought only poor students like us would enjoy going there."

Bai Xin and Yang Qian both turned to look at her, each with a mysterious smile.

"Wait until you get there, then you'll see why my uncle likes it so much."

It was very close, so the group decided to walk over.

Shishi, however, wore a mask and hat since her fame made it inconvenient for her to show her face directly in public gathering places.

The investment for a single Fei Yangyang Hotpot City location was upwards of two million, and the space was no less than four hundred square meters.

They were all located in busy areas, offering high-quality settings despite their low prices.

"Hello, Mr. Chen."

"Mr. Chen, you're here."

"Mr. Chen has come to our place, everyone, let's show some enthusiasm."

"Weird, how do they all know your boss, and why are they so enthusiastic?"

Zhao Feifei felt something was strange, until Bai Xin reminded her: "It's because Fei Yangyang is owned by our boss, haha."

"What?" Zhao Feifei's eyes widened in shock.

She never imagined that their favorite restaurant was owned by the uncle standing before them.

What a surprise.

After all, there were dozens of Fei Yangyang restaurants in Capital City.

Indeed, the wealthy are unimaginably rich.

Stumbling upon their businesses simply by walking around.

Chen Pingsheng led them into the largest private room. Once inside, Shishi casually removed her mask and hat.

The charisma of a big star truly couldn't be matched by ordinary people.

Every frown and smile seemed to bring a breath of spring.

Chen Pingsheng generously ordered a twelve-person combo meal of four meat and eight vegetarian dishes for 399.

There weren't even twelve people in their group; it was more than enough, even a bit wasteful.

No problem, the leftovers could be packed up by the secretary to take home.

Chen Pingsheng explained, "Fei Yangyang was originally on track to reach a valuation of 1.5 billion this year, but who knew that Mango Channel would schedule 'Hua Qiangu' for next summer vacation, forcing us to wait another half year."

This wasn't really unexpected; once a local station buys the rights, when they air it is entirely up to them.

Shishi on the other hand was somewhat taken aback, the entertainment industry is not large, but also not small.

Outsiders feel it's vast, while insiders feel it's rather small.

Zhao Liying's popularity wasn't as high as hers, at least not currently.

However, with Tengying's strategy, her investment in Fei Yangyang Hotpot City was extremely successful.

Adding a year's salary and bonuses, her income far surpassed that of their top-tier celebs.

Genuine envy.

The food wasn't served yet, and as Chen Pingsheng leaned back in his chair, he gazed across the table at Chu Qiuyan and said:

"Chu Qiuyan, twenty-two years old, began studying milk tea in junior high school, and by ninth grade, had already developed a uniquely flavored mango milk tea that was well-liked by everyone."

"In high school, she not only supported her family with her milk tea business but also excelled academically, and in less than three years at university, she successfully created seven fruit-flavored milk teas that were very popular among her classmates.

"Am I right?"

Chu Qiuyan looked to her left and right, unsure how he could know so much about her.

"You don't have to overthink it."

Chen Pingsheng said, "At our level, getting to know someone is actually very simple. The main reason I invited you here today is that I have two things I want to discuss with you."

"First, I personally plan to spend five million to acquire your Bobo Milk Tea."

"What???"

Five million? Zhao Feifei sitting next to Chu Qiuyan doubted her own hearing.

Their Bobo Milk Tea had barely received an investment of less than thirty thousand.

On what grounds could it be sold for five million?

"I know there's a bit of doubt in your minds, after all, investing in a store like yours would at most cost under a hundred thousand."

Chen Pingsheng calmly stated, "The reason for offering a hundredfold premium is, rather than buying the store, it's more like I'm investing in you, Chu Qiuyan, as an individual. I hope you can join our milk tea enterprise under Tenghui Capital."

"At present, your Bobo Milk Tea has four partners. We are not interested in the other two."

"If you two are willing to join us, I can't guarantee much but giving you financial freedom within a few years should definitely not be a big problem."

"Because you must know, besides good taste, what's crucial for a milk tea shop is proper promotion, and fortunately, we have our own entertainment company. From the outset, there will be at least one top female star in charge of personally endorsing and promoting your brand."
