Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled-Chapter 524 - 323 Magic City Community
Chapter 524: Chapter 323 Magic City Community
Magic City, villa.
The spacious Tan Palace villa had regained its former popularity.
After Grandpa came over, Third Aunt, including her son Chen Fan and his wife, often visited.
In mid-June, the temperature soared unbearably, and the summer heat made people feel irritable and suffocated.
Thankfully, there was air conditioning.
After returning to Magic City, the affluent lifestyle was restored.
Wine flowed freely and could be chosen at will, especially after Grandma left.
Grandpa simply stopped being particular and took up smoking again, which he had quit before.
The old wine, which was previously limited to a small sip daily, could now be consumed in any quantity desired.
Life is but a few short years; there’s no need to abstain from anything. A happy day lived is a happy day earned.
Even Third Aunt couldn’t bother to persuade him anymore.
Fortunately, his eldest grandson’s household had the means, so he could thoroughly enjoy himself, couldn’t he?
After Chen Yao and her brother-in-law Xiao Ping’an moved to Magic City, Chen Pingsheng even bought them a luxury flat valued at over eighty million.
Spanning over four hundred square meters, extravagantly decorated with a panoramic view of the Huangpu River through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
As for other relatives from the old hometown, he would still lend a helping hand to some extent.
At the very least, he resolved most of the housing issues.
With the property prices in Magic City, if he didn’t sort out the housing, which relatives from the countryside could afford to buy?
Everything began to return to normal.
He had nearly 18 billion in cash in his pocket, which he planned to use for constructing the high-end Tengying community.
He had already discussed this with Golden Mountain’s leader Yang Sheng over half a month ago.
The Tengying Group intended to spend 120 billion purchasing over one thousand mu of commercial residential land in Golden Mountain and invest another eighty to one hundred and twenty billion to build the Tengying high-end community themselves.
This was also to address the future housing needs of some employees.
The advantage of moving headquarters to Golden Mountain lay in this. Golden Mountain was not considered an economically developed area in the entirety of Magic City.
It even ranked towards the bottom among the sixteen districts, entirely considered a remote suburb.
The greatest advantage of such a location was that commercial land was not in high demand; the local Zhengfu still had plenty of land resources.
Due to the special nature of Tengying Group’s investment, Yang Sheng, after multiple levels of communication, still organized a special land auction.
The initial land plots were auctioned normally, but the last piece, exceeding one thousand mu of commercial residential land, was adjacent to Tengying Headquarters.
It was essentially allocated specifically for the Tengying Group.
Now it was merely going through the formality of a public listing and auction.
Most attendees at the auction were aware that not just anyone could afford land for commercial use over one thousand mu.
When it came time to bid, the starting price was 80 billion.
Chen Pingsheng continuously raised his bid card, ultimately setting the price at 112 billion.
As the hammer was struck twice, and he thought the deal was about to be sealed—
Sun Hongbing from Chuangrong Real Estate suddenly started bidding.
This man was no stranger, a famous tycoon in the real estate industry and also a super acquirer.
He was once a protégé of Liu Lenovo, who later personally had him sent away.
After his release, he received investment from Liu Lenovo and subsequently rose unstoppably.
The relationship was quite intricate; in the end, it all boiled down to bowing to money.
Sun Hongbing rapidly advanced in the real estate field over just a few years.
The bidding war between the two didn’t require much skill; it was purely a display of financial power.
Chen Pingsheng ultimately secured the commercial land near Tengying Town, which exceeded one thousand mu, at the cost of 132 billion.
This was 12 billion more than anticipated.
This piece of residential land wasn’t initially very valuable, merely because Tengying Group had relocated their headquarters here.
Its value skyrocketed as a result.
Everyone knew that developing property next to a top company’s headquarters would ensure there would be no worries about selling houses in the future.
Pity though, Chen Pingsheng would never let Sun Hongbing have the chance to flip this land for a profit.
He was willing to spend an extra ten billion or so to make sure that piece of land was firmly in his hands.
He didn’t have much to do with the real estate industry, and he had no connection whatsoever with Sun Hongbing.
Sun Hongbing must have known before he came that the land was specifically reserved for Tengying Group, yet he still came to bid for it, which made his intentions quite intriguing.
Before Chen Pingsheng left, he made a point of giving him a couple of glances.
This guy spent over a hundred billion buying the television from Old Jia.
As a result, Old Jia was driven abroad, and the reputation of LeEco has gone down the drain.
There really was some enmity between them.
After the land was auctioned off, a deposit had to be paid.
Chen Pingsheng simply paid in full; he never dragged his feet when it came to finances.
He did not deal with loans either.
For such a large land development, aside from his own design, he could just leave the overall construction to the China State Construction Engineering Corporation.
Like Tengying Town, it wasn’t expected to be completed until after 2019.
…
He didn’t get home until six o’clock in the evening, and his wife had even gone to the hospital for a check-up.
The due date was expected in mid-August, just two months away.
She wasn’t too comfortable nowadays, and apart from handling some affairs for Water Cloud Space, she mostly stayed at home.
Little fart kid, Chen Xinyi, had turned three, and she would be starting kindergarten in the second half of the year.
Her sister had even bought her a bright yellow backpack.
The little fart kid wandered around with it every day; unlike her sister, she clearly had a strong interest in learning.
She would laugh and ask her mother to recite poems for her to listen to every day, definitely a little prodigy.
Her memory was super strong, and anyone other than herself would be surprised by it.
The elder sister’s two daughters, the older one, Xiao Ya, was already in ninth grade this year.
She would be starting tenth grade in the second half of the year.
Chen Pingsheng had specifically arranged for her to go to Magic City Middle School and sometimes even tutored her little sister on kindergarten subjects.
The little fart kid was clever, but she had a soft temperament and seemed like she could be bullied by anyone.
This trait was neither like her dad nor her mom, and no one knew whom she had picked it up from.
“Sister, do I look like a little book-carrying scholar?”
“No, you’d have to cut off your braids to look the part.”
The little fart kid touched her pigtail braids, not willing to cut them at all.
“Then I don’t want to; Mommy says girls are supposed to have long braids to look pretty.”
“You’re not a girl; you’re clearly a little fart kid.”
Chen An’an wasn’t fooling her now that she was four years old.
“That’s not true; I’m clearly a cute and lovely girl.”
“Do you think I’m cute?” Chen An’an asked her.

Chen Xinyi scratched her little head. Was her sister cute?
Not cute at all, she could take on ten by herself.
So formidable.
“Sister, once I go to kindergarten, will a lot of little friends like me, since I’m so cute?”
Chen An’an touched her forehead and then her own, leaving the little fart kid confused about what she was trying to do.
“Sister, what are you doing?”
“I’m checking if you have a fever, you must not know, you inherited Dad’s looks, and I got Mom’s looks. By my estimation, when you grow up, you probably won’t be a little beauty, you’ll likely be plain like Dad.
“After all, Dad’s unadorned aura has been completely passed on to you, and Mom’s unmatched elegance has reluctantly landed on me.”
With a snort, Chen Xinyi no longer wanted to talk with her sister.
Chen An’an, this wretch, had successfully managed to make her little sister cry again.
The little fart kid cried and went to look for Mommy.
