Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled-Chapter 691 - 499 Reflection
Chapter 691: Chapter 499 Reflection
Chen Pingsheng hosted a banquet at home.
This was not a feast in the Tower King Villa, but a family banquet in his own Tan Palace Villa.
During the banquet, he also brought out two bottles of national treasure Fen liquor.
The passion of the grandfather’s generation for Fen liquor was evidently greater than that for Maotai.
This liquor had already bme an auction item, with each bottle valued at around two million.
As for the most expensive domestic liquor, the 1935 Lai Mao produced in Guizhou Maotai Town.
This belonged to an old, dintinued edition liquor, with each bottle priced at around ten million.
It was a bottle given to him by others on his birthday.
The family banquet this time was for no other reason but to announce two things; one was about relatives who had been sent away, as long as they hadn’t made severe mistakes,
Theyuld return to Magic City.
They just needed to work in Magic City for two years before theyuld reclaim the family entrepreneurship fund.
Working withoutncerning the type of job nor its nobility.
Theyuld deliver food, work as security guards, or even be DJs in nightclubs.
It was up to them.
Actually, if you think about it seriously, most of this younger generation are from the post-90s.
In the eyes of those from the post-80s, the post-90s are often synonymous with capriciousness.
If these people do not possess the capability to start a business nor the temperament to handle millions of dollars,
Then it’s better for them to work earnestly for a few years first; what heuld provide was a fairly decent place to stay.
And when they really wanted to do something but lacked funds, he would then provide them with some start-up money.
Having suchnditions is already far better than what most ordinary people have.
As for the future, it depends on how they seize it.
Not forcing nor deliberately influencing, everything was left for them to choose.
After experiencing one melodramatic event after another, Chen Pingsheng had alsome to rgnize some of his own mistakes.
Everyone has their own life; he can’tntrol too much nor make decisions for them.
The best approach is laissez-faire.
This might be good for some people, but not for others.
Those who think it’s good mainly want freedom, and after arriving in Magic City, they’d exploit his resources.
Naturally, they also need to heed him.
But while such a lifestyle is fine in the short term, not many stick with it for long.
It’s human nature.
As for those who don’t see it as a good thing, they can obviously infer a different meaning from his words.
That is: relatives being relatives, I can provide you with a temporary place to stay and some money to start a business,
But I will not help you find a boyfriend or girlfriend.
Nor will I pave the way for you; your future is up to you.
The family entrepreneurship fund is directly cancelled, and when you want it, you’ll need to first issue an IOU.
Chen Pingsheng will no longer act as the patriarch to restrict everyone; you can do whatever you like.
It has little to do with him; loosening the restrictions, but also not helping without reason, only providing clothing, food, housing, and medical care for the elders.
Thus, he also feels more relaxed.
Thinking it over, this approach seems most reliable.
Pouring grandfather a glass of liquor worth over two million, he drank with a flushed face.
After having a few drinks with the uncles’ generation, he then took his family and left.
Magic City remains prosperous, and recently Chen An’an’s Anle Fund even provided support to several genuinely needy children from mountainous areas.
It’s quite impressive how these mountain children manage; often without enough food to eat, they still sustain themselves through education.
Resiliently, they step by step, move from underprivileged mountain schools to top institutions in big cities.
After the Anle Fund opened the online nomination channel, it immediately received many nominations from enthusiastic netizens for those truly in need.
These people were invariably tragic yet remarkably tenacious.
Always managing to find a spark of bright light amidst the harshness of fate.
Compared to these people, he thought the relatives of the Chen and Song families really had nothing tomplain about.
After a year, the spoiled brat finally spent her Anle Fund in places that truly needed it.
The night breeze was slightlyol, and Chen Pingsheng reclined on the bany.
While quietly watching the Huangpu River, he simultaneously sipped on Dahongpao tea from Wuyi Mountain.
Song Yanxi handed him a blanket tover himself, the temperature wasld, better not catch ald.
“Hubby, you’ve also canceled the family startup fund, regarding those relative matters, I think it’s best if you stay out of it a bit more.”
“Yes, indeed, I should interfere less.”
Chen Pingsheng summarized about himself, “It’s just as they say—grateful when given rice, resentful when given a measure, after we have let these relatives live in luxury houses and drive fancy cars, the slightest dissatisfaction.
“They’ll secretly point fingers at us, saying look at that Chen Pingsheng, after getting rich he doesn’t even rgnize his relatives, and those young ones always feel we’re binding them.
“Sometimes, I too wonder why I only realize such simple logic now, after much thought it’s because of one thing.
“After sitting in a high position for long, one forms certain inertia in thinking, always believing oneself to be right, and that everyone must listen to me.
“Whether it’s running a business or managing this small household, this mentality is often particularly dangerous.”
Song Yanxi was stunned,uld this be related to managing a group?
Tengying Group is fine, isn’t it getting better?
“Hubby, are you thinking too much?”
“Howuld it be?”
Chen Pingsheng shook his head, “Remember the last round of layoffs, I also thought I was right, so I didn’t offer much choice during the layoffs, some people were inexplicably laid off, and some indeed had lost passion in middle age, but after all, why was there a layoff? Ultimately, it’s still due to us, the leaders, not managing well.
“This year, I’ve increasingly felt that whatever I do is right, so I always instinctually believe that others are wrong, you all must listen to me.

“This is very dangerous, extremely dangerous, and it even affects whether the group can survive another twenty years.”
Chen Pingsheng used ‘dangerous’ three times to emphasize how detrimental this mentality is to the management of a business.
No matter how capable a person is, they cannot guarantee they are always right.
Once he believes so, it is a disaster for employees and thempany.
Coincidentally, he is now facing this problem.
“Hubby, it’s not that serious, right?” Song Yanxi asked somewhat doubtfully.
“It’s not just serious, but very serious.”
Chen Pingsheng calmly said: “Look at those people downstairs; maybe we were once like them, wandering on the edges of these big cities, but now as we sit above and look down at them again with this attitude, do you still remember when we had nothing?
“Most people would think, these poor bastards, even after twenty years or even a lifetime, they won’t be able to afford a house in Magic City.
“Unknowingly, we too have bme one of those on top, and we also look at these young people who are still struggling with our hands, with the same perspective.”
Whether it’s the yoga pants girl from the socialite training class or the Chen Tan who drives a Rolls Royce to show off.
Essentially, they are aspiring for the upper-class lifestyle, also sprinting into this circle.
Only those who have reached this circle and secured their position know.
How misleading the upper circle can be.
One must be careful, or you’ll get lost in this material overflowing, power-playing world.
Money above money, power above power.
The struggle never ends.
Once the original intention is lost, it is easy to be devoured by all of this.
Just like Chen Pingsheng now, everyone approaches him with awe, and within it, he unsciously believes that everything he does is right.
Is that really the case?
Maybe, maybe not.
Unable to find the answer in a moment, the journey of life is still long, he needs to explore and practice slowly.
What Chen Pingsheng can think of, Song Yanxi might not necessarilyme to mind.
Above her is a husband, and if something happens in Water Cloud Space, Chen Pingsheng will definitely take responsibility.
But if something happens to the Tengying Group, Chen Pingsheng can only rely on himself.
That’s the difference.
And that’s what he needs tontinuously reflect on.
Times change, and people must keep up.
