Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

Chen Pingsheng did not agree with the marriage alliance between the two families.

Song Yanxi immediately went out and subtly asked people to leave.

There was no helping it; when it came to major family decisions, men had the final say.

Liu Fen, still clueless about everything, rushed out and, seeing that people had left without informing her, quickly went to find Song Yanxi to ask.

The result was that her eldest son-in-law simply did not agree.

Well, if the eldest son-in-law disagreed, there must be a reason.

It wasn’t convenient for her to ask.

Originally, Song Wu didn’t like Sun Shaohua either. Now that her brother-in-law had called a halt, she wasn’t too heartbroken about it.

Seriously speaking, in noble marriages, the interests of both families definitely outweigh individual emotions.

He was actually fine; he didn’t need others to be too wealthy.

It was enough if your family was stable, without constantly creating financial pits worth hundreds of billions for him to fill.

It was unbearable for the heart.

Nowadays, many wealthy people, after earning money, loved to engage in leveraging.

They took bank loans to diversify.

The successful ones were few; the failures were as numerous as cows’ hair.

Even though Mr. Ma had once asked Old Li from Xiangjiang about the core of managing diversification, very few could resist that temptation.

Frankly speaking, once you have money, your perspective and the way you view problems are different.

When you have the opportunity to borrow ten billion from the bank, do you borrow it or not?

Most people’s choice would be to borrow.

After all, housing prices have been rising over the years, and the myth of housing prices seems like it will never break.

You bring in ten billion casually, and you can make money easily.

Who can resist such a temptation?

The key point is, once you fall into this trap, what’s left is endless.

He felt that LeEco now, and the Huayi Brothers of the film industry, were almost like this too.

Those two brothers also went on to engage in a great number of industries, even extravagantly spending seven or eight billion to buy paintings.

The bank loans were probably borrowed to the point where they couldn’t even count how much they had anymore.

Really reaching this step, one could understand the adage Mr. Ma once said: giving too many loans to good businesses could actually kill these good businesses.

Frankly speaking, unlimited loans magnified the desires in one’s heart.

This led many big bosses to ultimately act like gamblers, crazily and imperiously.

Eventually, it all came to naught.

It’s still that saying: when small, businesses need to be cautious in their expansion; when they grow larger, they must be even more vigilant.

He, in any case, only handled what he clearly understood.

Maybe Old Sun’s family wasn’t exactly as he said, but he still needed to nip the risks in the bud.

The family should just eat meals and continue with arranged meetings.

Relying on Song Wu’s conditions, she could find anyone; there was absolutely no need to rush.

His younger sister even came over to see him at night; Hu Lin drove her there.

As time passed, he increasingly favored Hu Lin; this society still needed some grassroots teachers who were not so worldly-wise.

When all the teachers were discussing how to gift gifts more appropriately to the leaders, could you still expect them to teach your child well?

Impossible, brother.

If your family’s red envelope was too small, your child would end up sitting in the back row.

His younger sister was almost due to give birth in August; she was living happily now, mainly because of Hu Lin’s attentive care.

Everyone knows that a woman’s emotions become very unstable after getting pregnant.

Chen Qi was okay; whenever you saw her, she was always smiling.

As for Hu Lin, expecting him to achieve a great career was putting oneself in a difficult situation.

When you don’t expect him to have a great career, he meets all the conditions of a good husband.

He never spent nights outside, never gathered with fair-weather friends to drink.

He never even went to those foot massage parlors.

He even insisted on cooking three dishes and one soup for his wife every day.

Isn’t this the greatest happiness in an ordinary marriage?

Unfortunately, those who can achieve this are often the sincere ones who can’t even find a girlfriend.

And women often like the "bad boys."

When they had enough of being hurt by bad men and it was time to marry, they instantly demanded the wallets of three generations of honest men.

This was quite awkward.

Chen Pingsheng felt that the best decision his younger sister ever made in her life was perhaps choosing Hu Lin, who had nothing.

After all, she was not a strong woman herself, and for her, having a husband who truly knew how to cherish, love, and protect her was more important than anything.

On the other hand, his current sister-in-law certainly wouldn’t fancy someone without money.

The rich ones were mostly unfaithful.

Having one at home and a bunch of colorful flags outside was common.

In such cases, it seemed quite difficult to choose. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

His wife, Song Yanxi, still wanted to find the best for her sister.

The family was in a position to do so, and Chen Pingsheng didn’t bother to interfere anymore.

...

March 12, 2016.

The spring recruitment at the university began.

Capital City University of Finance was buzzing.

The reason was that a soon-to-be-graduated female student had returned to school.

She was Chu Qiuyan.

The president of Bobo Milk Tea and the co-founder of the first publicly-traded company in the milk tea industry.

Financially independent at a young age before her graduation.

She was in charge of such a large company, a veritable goddess who seemed to walk straight out of a dream.

In her middle school years, her parents went out to work and subsequently vanished without a trace.

At that time, she started learning to sell milk tea at a small local shop.

In high school, she relied on milk tea to support her younger sister and grandmother.

Once you are poor, you’d find that relatives would find ways to detour past your house just so, fearing you might ask them for money.

Chu Qiuyan understood this reality very early. During her three years of high school, she sold milk tea at school.

A motivational example of studying while supporting a family.

In university, she neither dated nor socialized.

She focused solely on making money to bring her grandmother and sister to Capital.

Now in her senior year, at an age when she should have graduated, she had achieved everything that could be achieved in life.

She returned with glory and prestige, performing a triumphant homecoming.

"I should have been in Magic City, but it was Chen who called me. He asked me to be in charge of this spring recruitment on campus," she said.

Chu Qiuyan stood confidently on the stage, continuing, "You know, if it weren’t for the big boss of Tengying Group, I might still be selling milk tea at eight yuan a cup outside."

"So, I am grateful to him for my entire life."

"When he instructed me to come, I even asked him, I said, Chen Uncle, right now in Capital City at least ten thousand university graduates all want to join Tengying, I said, how should I pick people?"

"He only replied to me with one sentence, ’Find someone like you’."

"I thought about it all night, and finally understood his intention. It doesn’t matter if it’s Bobo Milk Tea or Tengying Group above us, both have grown into towering trees."

"Chen himself started by selling goods on the streets, when he was weak, it was his wife who gave him strength and support, and now that he has developed, he should also offer support to those children who grew up without umbrellas."

"Tengying has three recruiting prohibitions; we do not recruit from local Capital City, from wealthy families, or university students who wear and use branded goods. Ladies and gentlemen, forgive the rules I have set because without Tengying, you can still get into better companies. But those students from deep in the mountains cannot."

"Please leave the opportunities for those who truly need them."

With a bang, the whole room was shocked.

Discussions erupted everywhere, some excited, some dissenting.

Most, however, showed their respect.

Every towering tree should learn to protect those who truly need shelter.

Clearly, those like Chu Qiuyan,

Who grew from poverty and continued to grow wildly like wild grass,

Needed the goodwill from Tengying Group more.

This is what outsiders call opportunity.

And those students whose circumstances were already favorable had their parents.

At worst, they could still go home and enjoy their parents’ legacy.

Comparatively, students from Poor Families clearly needed Tengying’s platform—a platform that allowed one to leap classes with hard work—more.

Chu Qiuyan had also fulfilled a dream for herself.
