Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled-Chapter 672 - 484: Chance Encounter

Chapter 672: Chapter 484: Chance Encounter

September ends, just an ordinary day.

Chen Pingsheng has been listing Melon Seed Used Cars for over half a year now.

He cashed out 15% of the remaining 20% of the shares, obtaining funds of 1.5 billion.

Through random increases, this amount has been raised to 4.5 billion, totaling 6 billion including the principal.

This sum is entirely invested in the newly established Tengying Management College.

After completing this cash-out, the highest shareholding in his listed projects is now just 10% of Tengying Entertainment.

...

For other listed companies, it’s mostly 5%.

A 5% stake certainly can’t offer full control.

But Chen Pingsheng signed the investment agreement before the IPO,

So he could still tightly control these companies within the Tengying Group.

He doesn’t have to worry about losing control due to reduced shares.

With the National Holidays around the corner, it’s peak travel season, but their family isn’t planning to go out.

If they were to go out, they’d avoid this awkward time bustling with people.

Because of his efforts, the spoiled brat Chen An’an’s grades have visibly improved this year.

Not only did he make it into the top 15 of his class, but breaking into the top 10 is also highly probable.

Chen Pingsheng was immensely joyous, it had been many years.

Finally, the spoiled brat came to his senses; now, when he attended parent-teacher conferences, he wouldn’t feel like he was sitting on hot coals.

Chen Pingsheng and his wife picked up the spoiled brat from school early, driving their Rolls-Royce Cullinan.

After Chen An’an’s grade improved, he even started to try losing weight; he was slightly chubby before but is getting trimmer now.

In a few years, he’ll probably turn into quite a beauty.

“An’an, after so many years, today is the first time I heard your teacher praise your grades. Do you know how I felt?”

Chen An’an clearly knew, but she wouldn’t say it and still wanted the praise from her parents like when she was younger.

“Dad, what did you feel?”

Chen Pingsheng chuckled, “I thought maybe you were cheating again and I might have to attend another parent-teacher conference soon. I was anxious.”

Chen An’an’s breathing hitched, obviously displeased, “Dad, is that what you really think of me?”

“Of course not, don’t listen to your Dad.”

Song Yanxi intervened from the side, “Your dad was just too happy. I was right beside him. You wouldn’t believe how hard he laughed, An’an. Your dad didn’t mean it, you truly are growing up.”

“I’m only eleven, and I don’t want to grow up at all.”

While she said that, Chen An’an felt she could make her dad a bit proud.

She was still very happy.

Even if it was just to make her dad happy, she’d strive hard in her studies in the future.

She aims to get into a top 985 university through her own effort.

She doesn’t want to study abroad at Harvard; that kind of school usually has two types of students.

The first definitely got in because they’re top scholars.

The second, no doubt, would be those with influential families like hers.

Being one would be enough to study at a world-renowned university.

“Dad is happy today. After picking up Er Piya, how about we all go to the mall for a meal?”

“Sure, I’d like to have hotpot.”

“Alright, let’s go for hotpot.”

Er Piya, standing out in the crowd, was noticeable mainly because of her bright yellow backpack.

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.

It was almost as tall as she was.

As a first grader, Er Piya is under no academic pressure.

For her, studying is as easy as eating.

With just a little effort, getting into Harvard wouldn’t be a problem.

She’s a real prodigy.

“Dad, I want to go eat at Haidilao too.”

“Sure, let’s all have Haidilao.”

Chen Pingsheng took them to the mall; he himself is also in the food business. Although Fei Yangyang does well, it still slightly lags behind Haidilao.

Haidilao was just listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on the 26th of this month.

With a listing price of 17.8 HKD, its market value is close to 100 billion HKD.

This is a miracle in the restaurant industry.

Look at their stock price and then at Fei Yangyang’s—there is more than just a small gap.

Haidilao is most famous not for its taste, but for its industry-disruptive meticulous service.

Chen Pingsheng rarely used to eat here, but today he realized just how good their business really is.

You have to queue outside to get a number for a table.

This isn’t any high-end dining venue, most of the customers are young people.

Chen Pingsheng saw his queue number, a half-hour wait.

He initially thought about leaving and finding a high-end custom restaurant, but seeing Chen An’an’s hopeful look, he decided to wait a while.

“Dad, why don’t we go for a walk first?”

“Alright, it’s shifting to autumn anyway; you two sisters should also buy some autumn clothes.”

While walking around, they bumped into an acquaintance, Song Jun and his wife, Zhang Sitong.

They made a special trip to eat at Haidilao, mainly to learn a thing or two.

Song Jun himself lacked ambition, but after being with his wife, Zhang Sitong, he expanded from one shop to three.

Every evening after work, Zhang Sitong would go to his shop; it must be said, she’s quite a good help at home.

“Yanxi sis, Pingsheng.”

Zhang Sitong knew how to handle things better than Song Jun. Before marriage, she was very careful around Chen Pingsheng.

After getting married, she frequently visited Song Yanxi’s side.

Accompanying her shopping and for beauty treatments.

One could say, in terms of building relations, Zhang Sitong was the best among all the relatives.

Song Yanxi really liked her, always feeling she saw a bit of herself in her.

“Sitong, you’re also here for Haidilao? That’s great.”

“Yes, I always thought you, Yanxi sis, didn’t like this kind of food, so never invited you.”
