Chapter 760: Preparing to Return to the Countryside
Su Xiaoxi has made a large profit again this time.
When she receives the investment returns, she'll probably spend quite a bit of time pondering how to spend it all.
After all, once someone has a house and a car, more money doesn't serve much purpose.
Undoubtedly, Su Xiaoxi already has these basic things.
Houses and cars merely satisfy the basic needs of life; elevating one's taste and enjoying the pleasure of spending money is the real improvement need for the wealthy.
In the future, it will also involve social connections and respect.
These two areas will roughly be something Su Xiaoxi won't encounter until her second year of college.
In his free time, Chen Pingsheng prepared to visit his second daughter, Chen Xinyi.
From birth, Chen Xinyi has worn the crown of a little princess worth tens of millions, which has been a long-standing habit.
The only thing she's really afraid of is death; she loves luxury and rarely likes to mingle with ordinary people.
She doesn't disdain ordinary people; she just doesn't engage with them at all.
Usually, she works in a skyscraper by the sea in Peng City.
Since her sister, brother, and father are all here, she reluctantly spent over $8 billion to buy this 68-floor seaside skyscraper as the headquarters.
The top five floors are her private space. Except for her own secretary and friends, the usual employees can't go up without reason.
The rooftop is transformed into a massive helipad and an open-air swimming pool.
Throwing parties here is her idea of a happy 'Small Day.'
As for the other four floors above, restaurants, entertainment, medical facilities, offices, and gathering spaces meet all basic entertainment needs.
Er Piya is still who she used to be, prioritizing enjoyment everywhere; as long as she's happy, her brother doesn't matter much.
When Chen Pingsheng drove over, Chen Xinyi was still upstairs playing golf with her two female friends.
They were discussing where to go over the weekend.
No denying it, Er Piya is definitely the most talented in the family, the type who could skip several grades at a young age, finishing university by twenty.
Such talent would have been perfect for a career in research, but unfortunately, she wasn't interested, and she's only willing to devote six hours a day to proper work at most.
The rest of the time, besides enjoying weekends off like employees, she takes all public holidays.
Not just her, but everyone in the group follows the same rule.
Arrive at the group at 9:30 AM, have a three-hour lunch break, and leave promptly at 5 PM.
Don't treat employees like beasts of burden, starting with herself.
Unlike Chen Lu, who has been average since childhood, his sister indeed doesn't have an obsession with hard work.
If she can take it easy, she will; if she can't, she deals with things as quickly as possible.
"Xinyi, why don't we go drift at sea this weekend?"
"Didn't we do that last week? Can't you guys come up with something a bit new?"
Drifting at sea is even more thrilling than racing, but sadly, Chen Xinyi has grown tired of it.
"If the sea isn't an option, let's throw a party with some folks."
"That's boring too."
So boring... can't think of anything fun for the weekend.
"Second Princess, your father is downstairs."
"Who?"
Chen Xinyi, sunbathing on the rooftop, immediately stood up with a start, "My dad's here? Why is he here?"
"No idea, but the chairman is already received in the lobby and will be up shortly."
"Quickly, follow me to the office; I want Dad to see me working hard."
Chen Xinyi swiftly went down to return to her office and started working in earnest.
It's not easy to inherit more family wealth.
All because her sister, who is always so diligently working, forced her into this career rat race.
Being a rich second-generation like her is considered normal.
By the time Chen Pingsheng took the elevator up, quite a few greeters were standing outside.
Each one in uniform, their spirits were very high.
He hadn't even entered when Chen Xinyi called out to him at the door, "Dad, why did you suddenly come to my company?"
"No particular reason, just wanted to see you, heard you've been investing in many big projects lately?"
"It's okay, just some minor investments."
Chen Xinyi asked him, "Dad, I heard from my sister that you've officially started training Su Xiaoxi. Are you really planning on making her our family's only daughter-in-law?"
"It's not something decided yet; it's just that Su Xiaoxi's talent is decent, just a little less than yours."
"Only a little less than mine? Isn't she very impressive then?"
"She's quite good, but your efforts can't be compared to hers."
"Dad, you're not just here to call me lazy, are you?"
"No, I want you to take over the shares of Teng You Media, and you should spend more time on it as well."
"For such a simple matter, there's no need for you to come personally."
"There is; I'm preparing to return to Magic City for a while, and then take your mom to stay in the countryside for some time. Your grandfather's health isn't good, and he doesn't like living in big cities for retirement, so your dad has to return."
This visit from Chen Pingsheng was mainly to discuss this matter.
Not only is his father's health poor, but Peng Ying's health is also not very good now.
Getting old, and if he as a son doesn't return, the days to accompany the elderly will truly become fewer and fewer.
"Dad, you're going back to the countryside?"
"Yes, before I go back, I wanted to tell you some things. Whether it's Teng You Media or Dream Fund, those shares in these two groups will ultimately be handed over to you. If you can take charge, hold an executive position over there; if not, become a director."
Chen Pingsheng wasn't just returning to take care of things himself; he was also taking his wife and An'an's youngest son, Chen Jiye, with him.
The older generation loved the young ones, and taking Chen Jiye back would surely please Peng Ying for quite some time.
Er Piya didn't have any opinions; she didn't need to ask her father for money now.
With the groups she held, annual dividends wouldn't be less than 20 billion.
More than enough for her investments.
This trip back to Magic City mainly involved taking his wife along; it was time for her to retire.
This half-retiring situation was just a hassle.
After spending a while with Erya, Chen Pingsheng also visited his oldest daughter An'an, and without notifying Chen Lu, he took Chen Jiye and left Peng City.
The training plan for Su Xiaoxi was shifted to An'an.
Ten billion each month for gains, while he covered all losses himself.
Training her in this plain and straightforward way for a year.
By the end of the year, Su Xiaoxi would probably have amassed quite some property herself.
According to her character, after securing a house and a car, future profits would likely not be restricted to consumer projects.
There's a high probability she'd invest in commercial projects, namely premium storefronts.
Ordinary storefronts are no longer valuable, renting them out is difficult, let alone making money.
However, those in prime locations are still decent investment projects, at least with very stable returns.
