Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

End of February.

Tengying Entertainment had just held a massive "Tengying Era" concert in Beijing-Shanghai-Guangzhou-Shenzhen.

The discussion online remained high.

Topics about Tengying were consistently at the top of the charts, as the era of short videos had arrived.

There was an endless stream of updates from entrepreneurs.

All sorts of financial bloggers and knowledge-based broadcasters rose rapidly on the internet.

And everything related to Tengying was slowly coming to light.

Unfortunately, Chen Pingsheng had gone abroad and hadn't paid much attention to domestic financial news.

By the time he returned, it was the end of February.

He had spent over ten billion on his trip overseas, not to mention the seven or eight hundred million US Dollars he brought back.

Moreover.

The mortgaged property he bought back at a low price from Huang Zhongshi had all found buyers after half a month of transfers.

They were sold for 4.8 billion, and his family's income really did come from everywhere.

Zhang Wanyi was left in Manhattan by him, mainly to wait for Antler Coffee's share price to fall below the offering price before buying back the 15% shares he had sold at a low price.

Magic City was still very prosperous, but it wasn't like Wall Street, capable of significantly influencing the global economy.

The little fart kid at home was about to turn three and was still chasing the little fat chicken she raised every day.

Such hobbies were unmatched.

His wife, Song Yanxi, was showing a little again and even went to the hospital secretly to check the sex of the baby.

The doctor said there was a 90% chance it was a boy, which made Liu Fen extremely happy.

She was just short of beating gongs and setting off fireworks all over the house, and every now and then she would call over the relatives from Old Liu's Family to celebrate.

She even called the elderly Peng Ying back from Wang Village.

Their joy at this age was understandable. In the past, if a wife couldn't bear a son, she had no status in the family at all.

In the more traditional countryside, she would often be pointed at and scolded; this is no exaggeration.

The main reason was that their daughter's condition was a bit too dazzling.

She could outdo average billionaires and make the news every day.

Just by saying "My son-in-law is Chen Pingsheng," who wouldn't let her take the C position and respectfully call her Mrs. Liu?

If a family like this had no son, then in a few decades, there might be no mention of the Chen Family at all.

Giving everything to the son-in-law's side is something not even a dog could understand.

Liu Fen had no more worries and didn't even care what kind of boyfriend her younger daughter found; she just prayed to the heavens for her eldest daughter to definitely bear a son.

This was a matter of continuing the family lineage and could not be taken lightly at all.

Blessed by the Bodhisattva, their third child was indeed a boy; at 90%, it was practically confirmed.

Liu Fen hosted a banquet at home, in Magic City's Tan Palace—a sprawling French-style villa with over two thousand square meters.

Inviting dozens of people didn't crowd the place one bit.

"Shuiqing, when are your parents coming?"

Her family had moved from Capital City to Magic City, but most of Old Liu's relatives were still in Capital City.

Thanks to the family support fund, many of the younger generations had moved here as well.

As for the Song Family's relatives, like the Chen Family, most were still in Wang Village.

With these conditions, their relatives could live glamorously wherever they went.

"Mrs. Liu will be here soon. I have to go to the airport to pick them up later."

"Why should you go? Just have the driver pick them up. You have to take care of your cousin when she comes back later."

Alright... Song Shuiqing had no objections.

Her Mrs. Liu was so happy about her cousin having a boy that she had almost forgotten herself.

By the time Song Yanxi returned, it was eleven in the morning.

The hustle and bustle at home had been going on for more than just a day or two. Upon seeing Liu Fen, Song Yanxi also mentioned that Song Wu had brought her boyfriend's parents along.

The two families were officially starting to discuss the marriage, which was different from her dealings with Hu Lin.

Song Wu's boyfriend was somewhat decent; being a third-tier celebrity in the entertainment industry wasn't equivalent to having nothing.

But compared to her family, he was just like an average Magic City local.

Song Wu's boyfriend, Yang Changwen, had respectfully left the entertainment industry after meeting Chen Pingsheng just once.

He had been somewhat reluctant since his aunt was the most capable relative in his family.

She scolded him all night.

Others might not know the situation of the Chen Family, but could she, an executive vice president in real estate, be unaware?

Being able to marry the younger aunt from the Chen Family was a stroke of ancestral blessing lighting up their home.

When he returned, his aunt immediately made him leave the entertainment industry.

What a joke. Which wealthy family would like their family members to be active in the entertainment industry all day long?

Song Wu knew this too. Before her family rose to prominence, she studied at a film academy.

Latterly, she had been an extra for over a year and had experienced all sorts of hardship.

It was only because she insisted that Old Chen's Family began to give her resources in the entertainment industry.

Clearly, the Chen Family did not want their relatives to mingle in the entertainment circle.

Even now, aside from people within the industry who know she has an extremely capable brother-in-law,

outsiders have no clue that she is the niece of the boss of Tengying Group.

After getting married, she'll probably be pushed by her sister to leave the entertainment industry and dive straight into the business world.

To those tycoons and business magnates, no matter how famous one is, they're still just actors.

Not fit to sit at the main table of the heavy hitters.

Old Chen's Family has only one such niece; they can't possibly watch her act in the entertainment circle forever.

After marrying her, he can then utilize Old Chen's Family's influential power in the business world.

Only a fool would continue to be a celebrity with such conditions.

Do they really think being a star is such a grand career? That's just for the onlooking crowd.

Liu Fen was so happy she didn't care much about this matter anymore, it was still Song Yanxi who arranged for them to sit at the inner room's table.

Not long after, Chen Pingsheng came home.

Song Shuiqing ran back and quietly reported to him the events of the recent period.

Because the Grand Concert was a massive hit online, countless audience members who attended the event uploaded innumerable short videos to the internet.

Each video quickly accumulated tens of thousands of likes.

The media reported on Tengying Group's news for three days straight; suffice to say, this time Tengying Entertainment made a big move.

It wasn't just about inviting half of the entertainment industry, but stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan also attended.

There was no choice.

Tengying Entertainment, once second in line, initially ground the former leader Huayi into the ground.

Huang Zhongshi is still struggling to survive, barely hanging on to life.

The other third-ranking company, LeEco Pictures, affected by the war between Hua Teng, saw Jia Yueting flee abroad.

There's no saying whether he'll return to the country in the next couple of weeks.

Out of the entertainment industry's three giants, only Tengying Entertainment remains standing in the end.

Within just a few months, they also brought down several top celebrities.

Now there's no need to consider which side to take; Tengying Entertainment is to hold a Grand Concert.

Everyone came to sign up, not even asking for a performance fee.

They demonstrate their alliance with actual deeds.

That's the advantage of being number one.

Such a large-scale star-studded concert is also held simultaneously in four cities.

In the current entertainment industry, unless there's a major celebration like a national holiday,

only Tengying Entertainment could bring together such a lineup.

The online crowd was also stunned, continuously searching for news about Tengying Entertainment through Baidu and various channels.

Influenced by Chen Pingsheng directly, Tengying Entertainment remains a highly regarded entertainment enterprise.

Not to mention Tengying Group behind it – it's always been synonymous with a conscientious company.

Online, former employees who left rarely talk bad about their old employer.

"Brother-in-law, you're going to be a hot topic online!"

"So I'm not hot yet?"

"If it weren't for the family's public relations pulling your trending topics off urgently, you would be."

Song Shuiqing felt it was a bit of pity, and Chen Pingsheng tapped her little head, "Alright, it's not good for a businessman to be constantly linked with entertainment news day in and day out."

"True that."

Song Shuiqing also told him that Song Wu's boyfriend's parents had arrived.

He should quickly go inside and talk about the marriage, which actually isn't complicated.

After all, Yang Changwen's conditions aren't that great; his family can only offer slightly more than an average Magic City household.

However, they did put forward their best effort.

Specifically, a fully-paid house worth thirty million, a Ferrari, and a cash deposit of five million.

That's already the limit for their family; they truly can't offer more.

What the two families were specifically negotiating was their joint departure from the entertainment industry afterwards. Continue your journey with My Virtual Library Empire

How to enter the business world, Song Yanxi's idea was still to start them off with a decent small company and slowly work up from there.

Even Song Wu had no objections to this; her sister had already mentioned it to her many times.

Her sister simply refused to allow her to remain in the entertainment circle forever, she had to choose between leaving or never accepting family resources.

One or the other.

She's been a star for several years already, seen everything there is to see.

Aside from the occasional signing session with crowds of people asking for autographs, basking in the adoration of fans,

what else is there to meaning?

Especially since very few devoted fans have truly good conditions.
