Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled-Chapter 811 - 616: Family Gathering
It’s hard to describe Chang Fu’s envy in just one sentence.
At their level of social status, making money from stock trading is relatively easy.
Not talking about big money, just the small change.
The main reason is, it’s not something too technical; having more information than others makes it easy to profit.
For example, knowing in advance which companies are going public and buying some shares.
And then casually knowing some information about the founders.
Just relying on such information, it’s simple to earn a little money each year.
With June approaching, more and more people were coming to Chen Pingsheng to borrow money.
Among them were quite a few famous big bosses, who were easily dismissed with a few words by him.
In the first ten days of this month, nothing major happened after he finished investing the money he planned.
The group is as stable as ever.
The kids at home are particularly excited as the summer vacation is soon approaching.
Moreover, their family was planning to move houses in mid-month, and on the first day of the move, Chen Pingsheng was hosting a housewarming party at home.
His rooftop Su-style Garden was extravagant beyond measure; anyone who saw it couldn’t help but be astonished.
Not only did Liu Fen and the others come, but she also invited relatives from Old Liu’s Family to join.
This was the largest family gathering since the beginning of the year, and Liu Fen was enthusiastically bustling around.
"Mom, you invited so many relatives without giving us a heads-up."
Her sister-in-law, Song Wu, was beside her helping out.
"What do you know, your mom is making up for all the hardships from her past life through your big sister. Now that my eldest son-in-law is so successful, what’s wrong with me showing off a little?"
"How many years has it been, and you’ve been flaunting from the Capital to Magic City and still haven’t had enough?"
Liu Fen snorted, "Is that enough? Back when your brother-in-law was in the Capital, even though he made a lot of money, many in the Old Liu’s Family still thought he was a nouveau riche, lucky but bound to lose everything eventually.
"Over the years, so many relatives have lost their houses, but look at your brother-in-law, the family’s house is only getting taller."
Song Wu couldn’t argue with her mom; she was just this kind of person, always pulling relatives from the Old Liu’s Family to show off whenever something happened at home.
Especially her brother-in-law; just last month, everyone learned that he made over ten billion just from trading stocks.
Now, he’s expanded his company globally.
Her mom was overjoyed, wishing she could host a banquet at home every day, as if she had earned all that money herself.
After hosting a few more relatives from Old Liu’s Family, Liu Fen then turned to scold her younger daughter.
"I mean, your marriage ended so long ago, and now your sister has become the most famous female entrepreneur in the country. You can’t stay single forever, can you?"
"Why are you asking about this again?" Song Wu was a bit annoyed.
"Can I not ask? Your sister has asked your brother-in-law to introduce you to someone several times, and you don’t agree."
"I never disagreed..."
"Don’t talk back."
Song Wu didn’t bother arguing with her, as her brother-in-law was hosting the relocation today, and relatives came and went endlessly.
Even her friend from the entertainment industry, Qiao Yiren, was here, bringing many gifts.
Song Wu gave her a look, "Didn’t I tell you not to bring gifts?"
"Are you kidding? Considering who your brother-in-law is, I’m already lucky to be able to attend his housewarming party. How could I show up without gifts?"
Qiao Yiren, like Song Wu, was also a third-tier minor celebrity in the entertainment world.
Lacking status, obtaining good resources was as difficult as climbing to the sky.
She wasn’t wrong; attending her brother-in-law’s family party wasn’t something just anyone could do.
Song Wu advised her not to buy gifts, not to make her spend unnecessarily, and mostly because her brother-in-law wasn’t short of money.
The more this is the case, the more people rush to give him gifts.
This super villa housed eight elevators in total, and the first floor lobby had six female staff members.
The banquet was held on the second floor, and though it was a home, the second floor was more impressive than a high-end five-star hotel.
After finishing the meal on the second floor, everyone would tour around.
Qiao Yiren was quite excited as this was her first time attending a big boss’s family banquet.
It would be dishonest to say she didn’t have any motives; she simply hoped to exchange a word or two with the big boss.
Song Wu brought her to the second floor, which was packed with relatives, and those wishing to give gifts could hand them to the registration staff at the entrance.
Guests received a return gift of six standard-weight small gold bars.
Based on the current gold price, each gold bar was worth over forty thousand yuan.
Only once inside would you realize how high the pile of gold bars was.
Qiao Yiren couldn’t help but be amazed by the small mountain of gold bars.
Song Wu took her to sit down, in the front row.
Though it was just a family party, her brother-in-law’s status made it difficult not to keep it grand.
There were so many trying to make their way to attend.
Qiao Yiren found herself at a table with many notable people, hardly daring to speak.
Song Wu encouraged her to eat and drink without tension.
Claiming to be relaxed would be a lie, and Qiao Yiren asked, "Why haven’t I seen your sister?"
"My sister will come out in a bit; the ones she’s hosting are the truly high-profile ones."
"Alright, I have to say, your sister is incredibly enviable. All those beautiful women in the entertainment circle envy your sister."
Everyone envies my sister? Song Wu thought with a bemused smile. There was a time when she kept telling her sister to divorce quickly.
Thankfully, her sister didn’t listen; otherwise, if it came down to today, her mom Liu Fen would have used the rolling pin to beat her to death.
"My brother-in-law used to be quite ordinary."
"That’s what’s impressive about him. Have you seen how the entertainment circle talks about your brother-in-law? I heard several top-tier actresses have admired him."
"Don’t spread such rumors."
Of course, Song Wu knew it was true, but unfortunately, everyone admired her brother-in-law after his fame and success.
Back when he was a peddler struggling to find change in his pocket, who would like him?
Only her sister was so naive.
Just as they were talking about her sister, Song Yanxi walked out with Chen Pingsheng, and she immediately approached Song Wu.
"Why are you sitting over here?"
"Because my friend is sitting here, so I sat over here too."
"Oh..." Song Yanxi greeted Qiao Yiren, who was excited.
Chen Pingsheng smiled and said, "My sister-in-law can be quite temperamental; it’s not easy to be her best friend, huh?"
Qiao Yiren quickly replied, "No way, I’ve known Little Wu for ages. We’ve been acting in the entertainment industry together for many years."
The implication was that she didn’t become friends with her because of her background.
She knew her back when they were just small-time actors in the entertainment industry.
"My sister-in-law isn’t much of an actress, and yet she insists on being one."
Chen Pingsheng laughed and said, "After all these years of effort, she’s still barely even on a third-tier; I’ll mention to Bai Xin to introduce you to some good resources later."
With so many family relatives, it was impossible to attend to everyone, so after saying this, he left.
Qiao Yiren was too excited to handle, almost in disbelief, "Little Wu, did your brother-in-law just say President Bai would introduce me to some resources—was that serious?"
"Whether it’s serious or not, whatever he says will definitely be done."
Song Wu advised her to sit back down, "You shouldn’t get too excited, my brother-in-law is a nice person, and besides, the entertainment industry resources mean nothing to him; he wouldn’t use them for casting couch practices."
"That’s true, indeed."
After a while, Bai Xin came looking for her.
