Chapter 676: Chapter 486: Money Oh Money

Even though the idea of acting was opposed by Chen Pingsheng,

Yang Changwen still wanted to take some money and try his luck in the entertainment circle with Song Wu.

Mainly, it’s because people like them who come from the entertainment industry always feel that the internet celebrity economy isn’t classy.

Before, it was because they didn’t have the money or the opportunity.

Now that they have money, they can’t help but expect those protagonists who once looked down on them

to act humbly in front of them.

...

But this is just his own thought.

Since Song Wu was recognized by Tengying Entertainment, who in the industry would dare to offend her?

She actually has no intention of showing off in the industry; she simply still loves acting.

She loves the industry and wants to re-enter it.

Still, she asked the question she cared about the most, “Brother-in-law, do you think gold prices will continue to rise?”

“Definitely, and it’s not just going to rise a little.”

Chen Pingsheng’s investments are diverse, and so far, there have seldom been any inaccuracies.

In terms of insight, Song Wu doesn’t doubt him at all.

“Then we should stock up on some at home.”

“If you want to stock up, don’t be stingy.”

Chen Pingsheng said, “At least invest seventy or eighty million.”

His sister-in-law’s family probably has just about that much in cash deposits; they are the typical ones without much concept of wealth management.

Even if they do, it’s just average.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have come up with the idea of acting.

His sister-in-law’s family is ready to splurge just as they’ve come into a bit of money, which is completely opposite to his sister Chen Qi.

Chen Qi hasn’t even proposed the idea of starting a business up to now.

In her heart, earning over ten million a year by doing nothing is already extremely blissful.

Why bother thinking about something as tiring as starting a business?

What Hu Lin loves to talk about the most is still the issue of education, not just their own family’s education but also the current state of education in the country.

One could say he is concerned about the country and the people but can’t do anything about it.

In response to this, Chen Pingsheng generally just listens.

After lunch, Zhang Sitong came over with Song Jun to bring gifts.

The couple stayed in Guangzhou for a week and planned to start a Chinese fast-food business after returning.

They could put up several million themselves, but that’s all they could contribute.

Besides visiting Chen Pingsheng, Zhang Sitong’s intention was also to have Song Yanxi become her first angel investor.

Song Yanxi didn’t really care; after all, several tens of millions to her was akin to buying a watch.

She was willing to invest, but Chen Pingsheng stopped her.

“Let Song Wu and Chen Qi each invest five million. As for the shares, you guys figure it out; they don’t need to spend much money, and it’s good for them to do some investing.”

Chen Qi was quite interested; she hadn’t participated in the family’s startup fund before because she had no interest in starting a business.

Now, serving as an angel investor for these relatives in the family is not a bad idea.

Zhang Sitong is capable and has good relations with them.

Raising funds for a startup is like this; it’s best to secure the first round of money from friends or relatives.

If even friends or relatives are not willing to invest, expecting strangers to invest in you is nearly hopeless.

Zhang Sitong discussed her planning for the Chinese fast-food chain, and with her own investment involved, Chen Qi was unusually interested.

She listened with relish.

It’s actually the same as with the World Cup; if you don’t bet on the games, watching them isn’t very interesting.

Once you’ve invested your own money, you’re in a position to cheer fervently.

In the evening, Chen Pingsheng took the family out for a walk.

They encountered many young couples, which reminded him of the time he and Song Yanxi went through the same.

He couldn’t help but feel nostalgic.

He sighed at how fast time flies, and how he had wanted to invite his grandparents from his hometown to visit the Magic City after the National Day holiday.

It seems he won’t be going back this year either.

Going back doesn’t make much sense; most of the relatives have already made their way here.

The only ones left in our hometown are some elders who don’t want to move.

There wasn’t much happening in Magic City until my third aunt’s place caught fire.

The reason? Well, it’s because Chen Fan got called a good-for-nothing, retarded, by his wife.

Honestly, Chen Fan is a nice person—who wouldn’t fight back when hit, nor talk back when insulted.

His new wife is even worse than the previous one.

The former one had an affair, but at least she was decent for a few years.

Whereas this new one is eating up his family’s food, using their stuff, and spending their money.

She even called Chen Fan trash for not buying her a Mercedes-Benz sports car.

How could my third aunt tolerate that? She started cursing right on the spot.

Turns out his new wife isn’t one to be trifled with either—mother-in-law and daughter-in-law actually came to blows at home.

Even Peng Ying and Liu Fen got dragged into this mess.

The new wife feels she’s been wronged, having married an idiot, and despite the family being so rich, why can’t she have a Mercedes sports car?

Has this girl ever thought about her own situation before marrying into this family?

Because of her rural mindset, my third aunt, despite all the fuss, still wouldn’t push Chen Fan for a divorce.

Once Liu Fen arrived, she transformed into the ambassador of justice, outright telling the new wife to pack her bags and leave.

The new wife was stunned, she started ranting and swearing so horribly at home.

Ha… that even made Liu Fen laugh in anger. She might be an outsider, true, but if you think she’s got a soft temper, you’d be dead wrong.

The new wife hasn’t been married to Chen Fan for long, and the household’s already in chaos.

Looking to the future, it’s going to be even more unrest, so better to end things sooner rather than later.

My third aunt also agreed with this sentiment.

But the new wife’s tenacity is something else—she brought over her entire troop of relatives from her hometown.

She even dragged over her grandmother, who’s over eighty years old.

She wants a divorce, sure, but she’s demanding half the house.

If not the house, at least give her five million.

That’s probably what this girl had in mind since the first day she married Chen Fan.

Now she’s just voicing it out loud.

If Liu Fen lets her walk away with five million that easily, then she wouldn’t be Liu Fen anymore.

Not a single name on the property deed is Chen Fan’s—all belong to her daughter, Song Yanxi.

You still think of splitting her daughter’s house? Dream on.

This girl is truly naive. If she was capable of having a child, then talk about divorce.

Just the annual child support alone would suffice for her not to work another day in her life.

As things stand now, she’s clearly not getting a dime.

She’s lucky we’re not demanding the bride price back.

In a place like Magic City, you can’t just produce an eighty-year-old granny and expect to turn an unreasonable cause into a reasonable one.

From start to finish of this ordeal, Chen Pingsheng only caught a few phrases with his ears.

Many women are like that.

When she has no money, a thousand yuan has her endlessly grateful.

Once she’s got money, she wants everything to be better — just greediness, in the end.

After the dust settled, my third aunt finally got together with Peng Ying and Liu Fen to discuss her son’s situation.

She’s got just this one child; even if he’s congenitally mentally challenged, she can’t just neglect him as a mother.

Liu Fen then gave her a suggestion that I don’t even know how to judge.

Forget marriage and the bride price; it was all about having children.

Whoever can bear Chen Fan a child would get three million directly.

They get two hundred thousand before getting married.

As crazy as the condition sounds, there were still plenty of takers.

Money talks, it’s simple as that.
