Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

Summer, August.

With a fully-paid house, Chen Fan quickly found a suitable match in the matchmaking market.

The girl was 25 years old, neither particularly pretty nor ugly.

Her job was average, just a normal mall service worker.

They could get married right away, but she asked for a bride price of 300,000 yuan, and an additional 400,000 yuan for childbearing expenses.

Plus, she demanded a car worth no less than 200,000 yuan.

The last requirement was to give her parents 3,000 yuan each month.

Once the terms were agreed, they could proceed immediately.

Adding up various costs, the total was about one million yuan, including childbirth expenses.

Chen Fan's aunt definitely didn't have this money; Chen Fan, with his special circumstances, if not relying on money to find a wife.

What normal woman would fancy him? This also reflects how realistic the current matchmaking market is.

One million yuan can buy a wife and take her home.

Chen Pingsheng didn't bother with this anymore; his task was considered completed after finding a normal wife for him.

Chen Fan's aunt was also satisfied. Having a wife to continue the family lineage was good enough, where was the room to be picky!

When August 3rd arrived, and Chen Pingsheng returned to Tengying Entertainment.

He initially planned to pick a couple of suitable scripts for investment, but upon reviewing the current TV synopsis, they were outrageously unrealistic.

Like a drama about the rise of modern women.

The wife stays at home not needing to work, the husband takes tender care of her, but when her mother falls seriously ill, they can't afford a large sum of money for treatment.

The woman immediately starts to despise her husband, a mid-level bureaucrat.

Calling him useless.

And that's not the most outrageous part; the most ridiculous part is about a divorced woman in her thirties, this dammit, if she isn't entirely stale, she's definitely not fresh.

With no real skills, having not worked for ten years, she goes back to work and immediately a domineering CEO falls in love with her.

And then he crazily pursues her.

And thereafter mocks her ex-husband, who is a mid-level bureaucrat, right to his face.

You'd probably have to have a decade-long brain thrombosis to come up with such idiotic storylines.

More outrageous than having bombs hidden under trousers.

Does the screenwriter even know that the heads of a bureau including deputy mayors are merely mid-level officials?

Which so-called stupid CEO would dare to blatantly declare he'll steal someone's wife in front of such officials, and even ask him to name a price?

You must not understand what power is, huh?

At least those about the anti-Japanese conflicts were dubbed as godly dramatic series, but this drama is supposed to represent the rise of modern women.

Is this the rise?

Looking down on a mid-level official husband from Capital City?

A divorced, stale woman loved by a dominating CEO as soon as she starts working.

Chen Pingsheng pinched his nose, feeling that it was absurd.

Fortunately, his chief secretary Bai Xin was around, so he asked her.

"Tell me, Bai Xin, how does our group even approve such a script? Can it get any more ridiculous?"

Bai Xin, being a woman, understood the current culture in drama circles a bit better, explaining:

"Uncle, don't be fooled by the outrageous writing of this drama, there are specially many women who love watching it, especially those who stay at home as housewives, they really like it!"

Housewives like it?

Chen Pingsheng didn't counter her immediately but continued to look down; the next script was not more outrageous.

But it was definitely mind-blowing.

The husband cheats with the secretary, and a woman who has stayed home for years and never done any chores asks for a divorce.

That's still normal.

But after the divorce, it was always her best friend helping her find jobs, helping her stabilize.

Next thing, she snatches her best friend's CEO boyfriend.

And claims that this is love.

A CEO, who supposedly has nothing better to do, loves a woman who can't do anything and is madly in love with her.

Not to mention her best friend is not only beautiful but also a powerhouse in the corporate world.

Yet, this unskillful middle-aged woman on her second marriage managed to steal her man.

Can this get any more ridiculous?

"Do people actually like 'My First Half Life'?"

"Uncle, indeed there are people who like it."

Bai Xin said, "Women nowadays love watching this stuff. It's not enough for a husband to just make money; he also has to be considerate and cater to his wife's needs. The slightest mistake and they want a divorce, then it's all about a domineering CEO falling in love with me.

"This is exactly the kind of drama that those stay-at-home women love the most."

"Has the female value system really become so distorted nowadays?"

Chen Pingsheng felt it was a bit ridiculous, he looked at Bai Xin and seriously asked her, "You're not like that, right?"

"How could I be like that!"

Bai Xin explained resignedly, "These are themes liked by middle-aged housewives who don't work. They indulge in fantasies where after divorce a domineering CEO will fall in love with them. I certainly don't have such foolish dreams."

Chen Pingsheng nodded and threw these scripts directly into the trash bin nearby.

"From now on, if any similar scripts come in, reject them immediately. Men already have it tough enough having to earn a living and pay for home and car loans. If we keep producing toxic shows that distort values for these middle-aged women, it would indeed be a sin."

Fine… Whether what the boss has said is right or not.

Bai Xin would definitely listen, but nowadays online feminism is indeed rampant, with significant contributions from the female emotional counselor Tu Sansi.

This guy courts popularity at the expense of principles, often expressing extreme views on women.

No telling how many divorces he has caused.

The TV stations bear some responsibility for letting him do this.

Chen Pingsheng has learned from his cousin Chen Fan's blind date experiences and some discussions from his hometown.

He feels that future marriages will definitely decline. Marrying is difficult; many middle-aged men will end up unmarried.

Let's not talk about other things now. Bride prices start at 150,000, plus the cost of buying a house and a car.

Cars are still manageable, but a mortgage lasts thirty years.

And then there's the cost of gold jewelry and various other wedding expenses.

To get married, without five or six hundred thousand it's nearly impossible.

And what's ridiculous are those women on their second, third, or fourth marriages with kids, acting snobbish and picky.

It's such a warped marriage market.

If these entertainment moguls continue to promote so-called female independence and the rise of women.

Declaring that refusing to spend money without hesitation isn't love.

This will definitely make them historical criminals.

It might not be very evident in the short term, but in the long term, the impacts are extremely detrimental.

Chen Pingsheng didn't realize until he checked that Tengying Entertainment had actually invested in quite a few of these kinds of TV dramas in the past two years.

And these dramas are really popular among stay-at-home middle-aged women.

And the ratings aren't bad.

Aside from dramas, the short video sector is even more flooded with so-called female emotional counselors.

For example: A man who truly loves you would still take you out smiling to buy an Apple phone on Valentine's Day even if his mother is dying.

Or: No matter how tired a man is, if he doesn't take care of you when he gets home, then he doesn't love you.

Such shocking statements actually gain widespread agreement online.

And those who like these statements are usually the women who wait to ask their husbands for money after payday.

The same women who favor dramas about divorcing and then the domineering CEO falling in love with them.

Chen Pingsheng immediately called Chang Fu from Xin Teng Live Streaming and Zhang Wanyi, the female CEO of Tengyou Media.

The impact of ideology is a silent form of warfare.

Tengying Group absolutely must not base its profit model on the suffering of ordinary families.

This is an invisible crime and a major negligence of corporate responsibility.

He promptly held a meeting at the headquarters.

Completely banning all emotional anchors in relevant fields, not investing in any TV dramas about domineering CEOs loving divorced women with children or about getting divorced after menopause.

Moreover, they must not promote the so-called fake female independence and distorted views on love.

These are exactly the things that most affect ordinary people's lives.

One can only say that a corporation as big as Tengying Group,

Holding vast ideological propaganda tools.

Such as Tengying Entertainment, Tengyou Media, and Xin Teng Live Streaming.

If it continually publicizes these explosive values online, long-term effects will undoubtedly be disastrous.

In the end, it will definitely backfire on itself.
