Chapter 682: Chapter 492: Why Should We?

Living in Magic City, one often sees news about Tengying Group.

Just like this time, the group’s personnel adjustment involved an optimization that laid off over eight thousand people.

Apart from sparking public discussion about the midlife crisis, it didn’t cause much stir.

However, it’s a different story with the CEO rotation system, after the establishment of the new rotation for CEOs of various entities including Bobo Milk Tea, Fei Yangyang, Tenghui Department Store, and Tengying Entertainment,

the stock prices experienced a slight increase.

Following this, Chang Fu announced a plan and goals for the future two years of Tengying Entertainment’s headquarters in Capital City.

...

The stock prices soared once again.

Especially since Tengying Entertainment is establishing its own subsidiary for celebrity live-streaming e-commerce, meaning it has become the first entertainment group in the industry to go public with transforming all its stars into live-streaming sales hosts.

Celebrity live-streaming sales primarily focus on brands.

They won’t involve any low-end products, like bags that cost a few tens or watches that cost ten a piece. Even if they rave about them in live streams, anyone with a bit of sense won’t believe the stars would use such products.

It’s fair to say that the live-streaming sales subsidiary established by Tengying Entertainment is mainly aimed at the high-end market.

There’s no need to worry too much about the mid and low-end segment, as Xin Teng Live Streaming and Teng You Media have that covered.

As for internal movie, television, and variety show projects,

apart from a few big-name stars guaranteed to secure box office or ratings, investments for the rest will be controlled.

They will even stop funding any project that costs over a hundred million for any fresh meat or Xiaohua.

These had been loss-making projects for the past two years.

Fleeting popularity is but a momentary bloom—besides fans indulging in self-celebration, many scorn both the name of these “traffics” and the related works.

With the major changes at Tengying Entertainment, other brands are also following suit.

This is what they call a new officer setting fire thrice, and the newly appointed CEO is also the most passionate.

The capital market is clearly very optimistic about Tengying’s extensive personnel changes.

And all of this is well reflected in the stock prices.

…

In late October, Grandpa celebrated his 80th-plus birthday.

Chen Pingsheng drove his yellow Lamborghini SUV, bringing his wife and children together to Tower King Villa to celebrate his birthday.

Lamborghini making SUVs now; can Ferrari be far behind?

The Urus is equipped with a 4.0L V8 engine, a mid to large size SUV.

Its characteristic is quick acceleration.

In terms of appearance, it lacks the Rolls-Royce Cullinan’s grace, the grandeur of a Range Rover, nor does it have the fashionable vibe of a Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

One could say it’s pretty standard.

He bought five in one go, and gave one each to Chen Yao and Chen Qi.

Every year, he would almost certainly buy several of the high-end new car models for the family.

The money didn’t matter much; it was more about novelty.

He didn’t like Lamborghini sports cars, but this SUV was quite alright.

With Grandpa’s birthday, the family naturally had to celebrate lavishly.

Third Aunt still took care of such matters, just as in the rural hometown.

But after moving to Magic City, even though everything was new and enjoyable at first,

after a time, everyone became restless again.

They started looking for jobs mainly to pass the time.

Most elders from rural areas have worked all their lives and can’t sit still in old age if they’re still capable.

Second Uncle and Third Uncle were just like this.

In terms of job-seeking, the family discussed it and agreed it was best to work in their own family group.

But not everyone was like Chen Fan. Not going to the group and becoming a security guard or something and then bragging to others daily that he was the big boss’s uncle, that would be trouble.

In the end, they unanimously decided to seek jobs on their own.

At that age, with limited education, the jobs available were very few.

Besides the positions like security guards, there was also Mr. Qin, the gatekeeper, which were relatively easy.

To commemorate this lively occasion, Chen Pingsheng also bought Grandpa a Rolex Daytona worth 1.08 million with 18k gold and diamond-studded lugs.

Worn on an average person, it would look vulgar; after all, it has a golden bracelet with rainbow diamonds.

But on the old man, it was inexplicably fashionable.

Commonly described as glittering gold.

His grandpa said it was a waste of money at face value, but inside, he really liked it.

Having been poor for a lifetime, who wouldn’t like to indulge in luxury at an old age?

After gathering for a meal, Second Uncle’s youngest son, Chen Tan, also shared good news with him.

He was going to marry Meng Yuanyuan.

The reason they were able to proceed so quickly was mainly because Mr. Meng had visited the headquarters of Tengying Group several times.

With his relation to Meng Yuanyuan, Mr. Meng was only able to step into Tengying Group’s headquarters for a private meeting.

Chen Tan is just an ordinary university graduate, and his second uncle is a genuine pig farmer from the countryside.

That he managed to marry someone like Meng Yuanyuan, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say his ancestors’ grave was emitting blue smoke.

But human hearts are sometimes so wonderful.

Despite having such a good daughter-in-law, his second aunt still hoped that Meng Yuanyuan’s parents would buy them a house.

She even sneakily had his third aunt come and ask him if he should give more gifts for Chen Tan’s wedding.

Like a storefront, a Mercedes, a house or something.

Originally, these things didn’t matter to Chen Pingsheng; once his second aunt mentioned them, he decided not to take any of it.

He merely sent a wedding red packet of eighty-eight thousand and nothing else.

Meng Yuanyuan was quite surprised since she had the example of Song Shuiqing right in front of her.

The former was his wife’s cousin, and the latter was the big shot’s own cousin.

So that’s the end of it.

It just goes to show that both Chen Tan and his parents aren’t quite adept at dealing with people.

Even to this day, his second aunt would say thank you on the surface, but her heart is always wondering how many gifts Chen Pingsheng will bring for her son’s wedding.

As for Chen Tan himself, he doesn’t say or do anything.

Always acting as if he’s entitled to these things.

Meng Yuanyuan married him for his elegant demeanor and excellent education.

It has nothing to do with his cousin Chen Pingsheng.

Chen Tan has said this more than once or twice in front of relatives.

Meng Yuanyuan even began to regret getting together with Chen Tan after she went back and reported the specifics to Mr. Meng.

After hesitating for a long time, Mrs. Meng finally slammed the table and decided to call the wedding off.

It wasn’t for any other reason but mainly that Chen Tan’s whole family just didn’t know how to behave properly.

At this rate, Chen Pingsheng wouldn’t help Chen Tan much anyway.

If that is the case, it would be a clear loss for them to choose such a family to be their in-laws.

The two families were simply not a match in terms of social standing, and their cultural differences were worlds apart.

They couldn’t push their daughter into a pit of fire.

Now that things have reached this point, it’s not as simple as them just refusing.

It’s not about considering Chen Tan’s feelings; they are mainly worried about offending Chen Pingsheng’s family.

Anyone living in Magic City cannot avoid the commercial reach of the Chen Family.

This chapter is updat𝙚d by freeweɓnovel.cøm.

They are a truly top-tier business magnate.

Mrs. Meng is not like his second aunt who doesn’t know how to conduct herself; she went to Song Yanxi first.

After all, Song Yanxi was the one who introduced them, and now they had to turn to her.

They didn’t directly mention breaking off the engagement, just conveyed the basic situation.

According to Chen Tan’s mother’s approach, they were unwilling to provide any bride price at all.

They even expected the Meng Family to proffer a house and car as a reverse dowry.

If that were the case, the Meng Family would become a laughingstock in Shanghai.

Song Yanxi had been through this kind of situation before, hadn’t she? Wasn’t it the same when Chen Qi got married?

So many people secretly ridiculed her family for being foolish.

Sending off a younger sister while offering up a bride price of three hundred million.

Hu Lin’s family didn’t contribute a single cent.

Her husband also was quite upset about it in the past.

But later on, seeing how Hu Lin treated Chen Qi sincerely, he stopped caring.

No family wants to encounter this when raising a daughter.

Song Yanxi did understand Mrs. Meng’s feelings quite well; her reasonableness is famous in the circle.

She wouldn’t interfere with Chen Tan’s matter and wouldn’t affect the relationship between the Meng and Chen families.

If they wanted to break up, just let Meng Yuanyuan speak for herself.

The blame for this couldn’t be placed on anyone else; if anyone, it’s Chen Tan’s own lack of decisiveness that’s to blame.

Besides, he’s foolish.

His parents are merely looking to make a quick buck.

From a woman’s point of view, why should his family deserve anything?

What confidence does Chen Tan have to claim that finding Meng Yuanyuan had nothing to do with her husband?

Mrs. Meng was indeed very satisfied with Song Yanxi’s magnanimity; she was just afraid she would be unhappy about the situation.

It’s not good to offend Chen Pingsheng for no reason.

As long as Song Yanxi is fine with it, her husband certainly won’t have any objections.

Who doesn’t know that this couple is quite close in the circle!
