Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled
Chapter 177: Chapter 153: Chen An'an's Short Essay

Tong Zelan's advice for everyone was to go into debt as soon as possible.

Chen Pingsheng thought about it but realized he had no debt at all.

The properties his family stockpiled in '13 were now worth around 350 million.

And that didn't even include the current Siheyuan.

It was still appreciating, so there was no rush to sell; mainly because property prices were rising too quickly.

Old Li was offloading assets worth a hundred billion, so it made sense for him to start early.

His measly few billion, on the other hand, didn't need touching for now.

When it hits five or six hundred million, he would decisively sell and invest in commercial real estate in a first-tier city.

Thinking of it that way, there really was no need to rush.

As for his plans for next year, they seemed quite correct at the moment.

The plan was to mainly invest large funds in commercial real estate.

Using a large shopping venue to hold his own commercial assets.

During the three-day president class, all everyone discussed was Old Li's divestment and Wang Yanfeng's Male Cat Live Streaming platform.

A lot of classmates were eager to invest, but he had absolutely no interest.

The only important task for him this year was the Splendid Night event at Water Cloud Space at the end of the year.

Nothing else mattered.

Once home,

He surprisingly didn't see the spoiled brat practicing her Praying Mantis Fist downstairs.

It wasn't until he went upstairs and called for her that he found out, she had actually written an essay about playing CEO for a day.

Typically, her essays were basically written for a dog to read.

Mimicking the beginnings of her previous essays,

Ah~ the sun is kinda strong today.

Woo~ Did you hang up your clothes to dry?

Ah~ My family didn't hang clothes, did yours?

Woo~ My family didn't hang clothes either.

Just a bunch of nonsense.

If her family had a literary giant like Jia as a relative,

I guess this could be counted as prose.

And that's not even the most exaggerated part; the real exaggeration is still to come.

The teacher assigned an essay with the title: My Mom.

Ah~ my mom.

Woo~ She isn't planning to take me to school today.

Ah~ my dear mom.

Woo~ She isn't planning to pick me up from school again today.

Duck~ my dear mother.

Woo~ She gave me next month's 200,000 allowance in advance.

The teacher didn't even know how to grade her after reading it.

In the end, out of respect for the 200,000 allowance, they generously gave her a duck egg [zero].

The spoiled brat's essay, who knows where she learned that from.

Anyway, it was speechless.

However, it was because of her essay today about the day I was a little CEO that shocked the whole class.

The opening lines were like this.

Riding my beloved little motorcycle, Dad took me to work.

With a spin of the chair, he asked me if I wanted to be a boss.

I said yes.

Dad agreed.

So then I became one.

My dad's company is rather big, and just so happened to have two older sisters visiting.

I saw her perform Praying Mantis Fist, so I rewarded her with 50,000.

Her singing was even worse than mine, it's really so cool, Dad can no longer say I sing badly!

I rewarded her with another 100,000.

Lately, I asked my dad if this is how one becomes a little CEO.

He said yes, and even praised me for having a CEO's talent.

I said Dad, duck, is it true that once you become a CEO you can have people do whatever you want?

He said yes.

So I told him, Dad, hurry up and write my homework for me.

And then… I cried.

I don't know why I got spanked, even though Dad himself said a little CEO could do whatever they wanted.

To test my little idea,

I brought a bunch of large bills in my bag, later whoever claps the loudest, I'll give them the money.

My goodness... two eight-year-old boys managed to clap with the vigor of a successful motivational speaker.

That applause even astonished the teacher.

Chen An'an means what she says, decisively giving them 500 yuan.

Then, this essay became the class's number one.

Ha ha ha!...

The foolish spoiled brat was browsing the outfits for a little CEO online.

A pink hat, too childish.

Small leather shoes, uncomfortable.

A skirt and a blouse, careful the buttons don't pop off after eating too much.

"An'an, what are you doing?"

"Dad," Chen An'an jumped down and pulled him downstairs; she had already purchased quite a few things.

A super cool black little cape.

Plus a magician's hat, and an enormous pair of toad sunglasses.

As she dressed up completely, Chen Pingsheng unconsciously pinched his nose, "What on earth are you up to?"

"Dad, do I look like a little CEO now?"

"Definitely not like a CEO, feels more like you're actually going crazy."

"You two hurry up and get ready; we're going to my mom's place for dinner tonight."

Song Yanxi came over, carrying a small bag, and Chen Pingsheng told the spoiled brat to quickly get back to her normal self.

"What's going on, it's not a holiday or a birthday, why would your mom think to invite us for dinner?"

Ever since Han Fei jumped off a building the last time, Auntie Liu Xiu'ai had become like a madwoman.

Telling everyone that their family wasn't good, causing relations with other relatives to be much less frequent.

Liu Fen hadn't visited their place for quite a long time.

"My sister landed a significant role, playing the second female lead. She wanted to invite us over for a meal to celebrate."

"Oh, I see."

He had thought it was something serious, but this was indeed a cause for celebration.

His sister-in-law had been graduating for almost two years, always playing extras.

If not a little beggar, she would play maid characters who died in one episode.

To her, the entertainment industry was gloomy and bleak.

Now that she could play a second lead, it was a big step forward.

Chen Pingsheng drove; when the whole family went, they took their Bospeed G-Class.

It was spacious, with a broad view.

Liu Fen's family no longer lived in their former small house; they moved into a new place of two hundred square meters.

With four bedrooms and two living rooms, the space was much larger, naturally making it much more comfortable to live in.

Over time, Song Wu had been smoothed down by society, no longer like her past self.

Getting a role as the second female lead in a low-budget web series could keep her happy for days.

She even personally cooked and called their family over for a meal.

"Sister, brother-in-law, please take a seat."

It was quite strange, her little sister-in-law who used to curse at him, had suddenly become so amicable.

It wasn't exactly sudden; it had been changing over the past two years.

No wonder they say society is the best polisher of gold.

"Little Wu, you've finally landed a decent role."

"Sis, that's because I played bit parts for the director three or four times. He saw my dedication and gave me the opportunity."

Song Wu smiled quite happily.

Song Yanxi was still holding Chen Xinyi, but soon Liu Fen, her grandmother, took her over.

"The little one is growing up so chubby and fair, and you don't bring her to see me often."

Liu Fen was quite realistic, but that was common; when you had nothing, she could ridicule you in all kinds of ways.

Once you made something of yourself, she could be equally flattering.

At her age, she didn't have too many plans anymore.

As long as her daughter was a bit happier and she could hold her little granddaughter every day, going here and there, the day would pass by.

Song Yanxi: "Mom, I haven't moved houses. If you want to visit, it's just a stomp on the gas pedal away."

Liu Fen: "It's all your great-aunt making a huge fuss. She's really something else. When her son wanted to start that bike-sharing business, I visited her so many times, and it was like talking to a brick wall. Now that her son jumped off a building, she's blaming everything on our family."

"Don't bother with her. By the way, has Han Fei's debt been paid off yet?"

"How can it not be?"

Liu Fen said, "All the relatives had lent money. If she didn't repay them, she wouldn't have a single day of peace."

Song Yanxi thought it made sense: "She sold all three of her apartment units, right?"

"Sold them. They lived comfortably for decades, but just because of Han Fei's bike-sharing business, their home was turned upside down. Now that eldest daughter-in-law is adamant about getting a divorce."

Liu Xiu'ai's family used to have very decent conditions in Capital City.

With three second-ring large apartment units, what more could they want?

Now, after the apartments were gone, that elder daughter-in-law was causing a fuss for a divorce.

Birds of a feather flock together; when disaster strikes, you hope for unity in sharing weal and woe.

It is nice just to think about it.

That elder daughter-in-law really had the nerve. Now, in such a situation, she was still clamoring for her share of the money.

If she doesn't get the money, she threatens to take the child away so they will never see him again.

Liu Fen also felt quite poignant; when the family was doing well,

The elder daughter-in-law was exceedingly obedient. Now that they have nothing, she immediately jumped out wanting a divorce.

People who are too realistic often get defeated by reality.

Liu Fen didn't have many thoughts now; after all, they each had their own families and responsibilities.

Being able to lend Liu Xiu'ai two hundred thousand at that time, she had done more than enough.

Two daughters at home.

The elder daughter's life was now so perfect, it was beyond criticism, and the younger daughter seemed to be slowly making something of herself too.

Heart content and body healthy.

Song Wu called out from the kitchen: "Sis, just sit for a while longer, the dishes will be ready soon."

Chen Pingsheng took Chen An'an to wait in the living room. She wasn't that into watching TV anymore.

With a large tablet in hand, what wasn't convenient to watch?

When the dishes were ready and on the table, Song Wu kept talking about her role as the second female lead.

Although she was still playing a villain, she had a lot more screen time.

Having the chance to appear in front of the audience meant there was a day when she might get ahead.

And to be honest, she was quite optimistic now.

Chen Pingsheng didn't pass any judgment, but Song Yanxi thought it was a great opportunity.

An opportunity earned by oneself is always highly treasured.

Her sister's family's company, Tengying Metropolis, had grown into one of the top entertainment companies in the circle.

Water Cloud Space was also doing so well in Capital City. Being able to be happy for such a little opportunity, Song Wu was really happy.

She felt a sense of small achievement.

By the time they went home, Chen An'an was still shaking her head, sighing.

At the wheel, Chen Pingsheng curiously glanced at her: "What's there for you to sigh about at your tender age?"

"Dad, my little aunt won't scold you anymore."

"Isn't that a good thing?"

"Yeah."

The spoiled brat had quite a lot on her mind; he was too lazy to guess.

Back at home, Chen Xinyi was still so lively, fussing to go out and play a bit more.

Her forms of entertainment were rather limited, simply sitting on her little bed, playing with this, looking at that.

Occasionally, she would giggle.

A child's world is that simple. Hungry? Eat.

After eating, sleep. Wake up crying to be carried out for a walk.

Once the walk is done, she could sleep until the break of dawn.

In a few days, measure her and she will have grown just a bit.

Time flies, soon it's the end of November.

Zhao Liying selected a fairy fantasy drama with the leading lady role for Bai Lu.

Tengying Investment poured in sixty million. Chen Pingsheng used Golden Finger to check and found the investment return rate wasn't high, just 150%.

Earning thirty million in a year for a drama that boosted a newcomer wasn't bad.

As soon as he spent this money, Tengying would have to idle for a while again.
