Chapter 1048: Chapter 782: Small Matters Within the Family_2

Wealthy to the point of having no empathy or understanding for ordinary people.

Of course, she’s extremely generous to those who are truly capable.

In her company, there’s no need for social niceties, just showcase your talents.

Once you help her earn ten million in a year, she’ll at least give you three million.

Therefore, her company’s people are the highest earners in the global financial market.

It has gathered a large number of top financial prodigies.

She herself, being extraordinarily gifted in this area, naturally can manage these people well.

To be honest, both sisters have found the most suitable paths in their lives.

In contrast, Chen Lu is still constantly changing jobs and exploring.

The super-rich second generation crave a meaningful life, and such meaning is unrelated to money.

It’s more of an extremely high spiritual pursuit.

Just like people need their own beliefs, they also need to find their own light.

One could say Chen Pingsheng created the conditions for them, and both sisters found their most suitable paths through countless failures and losses.

Similarly, Little Third Chen Lu might take five or even ten years to find this belief, this meaning in life.

But ultimately, he will surely find it one day.

Chen Pingsheng, as a father, still gave them all the opportunity to actively choose their own life paths.

Unlike the two in the eldest sister’s family, who seem to have a glorious life but are actually living arranged lives.

On the surface, it looks good, but who really knows?

When the era’s dividends disappear, who isn’t drifting and bustling within it?

…

August arrived slowly.

Old Chen Family, at Peng Ying’s suggestion, organized a large family reunion. After Mr. Chen passed away and the grandparents successively died, Peng Ying, who is over eighty, became the highest elder in the Chen Family.

She’s also quite elderly, and Peng Ying never got involved in family matters. This time, it’s likely the younger sister convinced her.

Probably because of Hu Qilin’s imprisonment.

The younger sister couldn’t persuade Chen Pingsheng to take action and didn’t have the ability to get Hu Qilin, who offended an influential family, released.

She could only ask Peng Ying to step in and organize a family reunion.

It’s said that the first generation builds wealth, the second preserves it, and the third can slowly emerge as aristocrats.

Old Chen Family’s rise was ultimately too short. It’s too short for a family foundation, including the core spirit and culture, to take form.

That’s why the second generation encountered successive troubles.

First, Song Chaoqun was caught for allegedly intentionally running someone over, and now Hu Qilin caused trouble over a woman.

It’s not just their family facing such issues; most families also find it hard for their second generation to assume leadership.

This shows how challenging it is for a wealthy family to transition into true nobility.

What it requires isn’t just family wealth, but also inner foundation and culture.

Speaking of the most prominent families in modern times, Zeng Guofan from late Qing cannot be overlooked.

He created a legacy of eight generations without a single prodigal and eight glorious generations.

This demonstrates the strong family foundation of the Zeng Family.

In essence, the troubles of Song Chaoqun and Hu Qilin were rooted in the inadequate upbringing from Song Wu and Chen Qi.

The rise of both was not due to their own true abilities but because of resource favoritism from Chen Pingsheng.

This clearly shows that the two of them don’t have the potential to fortify, let alone pass on, the family legacy.

At best, the wealth may last just three generations.

At least from the current perspective, neither are quite able to preserve this wealth, and their descendants lack the ability to take it over.

The eldest sister’s two daughters, Xiao Ya and Xiao Le, are different; during university, Chen Pingsheng meticulously nurtured them.

Which led to their smooth sailing and rapid promotion in the system today.

The Old Chen Family’s family meeting, originally intended to be held in Magic City, had to be relocated to Xiangjiang because Er Piya remained there and wouldn’t come back.

Chen Pingsheng and Song Yanxi were also in Shenzhen, so they simply decided to hold it in Xiangjiang.

Xiangjiang is absolutely a paradise for the wealthy, offering whatever one might need.

If you’re poor, a pigeonhole flat becomes the typical home for most people.

The Old Chen Family already has three generations, but they’re still young.

Currently, the most important focus is the development of the second generation. An’an is the most promising in the family now.

She manages countless large enterprises.

Er Piya has also taken over nearly a trillion in assets from the family and is adept at creating wealth, so her future is certainly not bad.

As for Chen Lu… it’s best not to mention him.

Chen Lu’s family status is unique, but he prefers to keep quiet, and every time there’s a family event, he would rather sit in a corner, away from everyone.

When you want to discuss significant business deals, go ahead, as to me, I’ll fulfill my role as an HR intern for now.

Generally speaking, those who constantly talk about big business deals are squanderers.

His two sisters never discuss such matters at the family table.

Chen Lu’s wife, Su Xiaoxi, is quite good, also low-key, and she’s willing to seriously listen to others.

After listening, she’ll even applaud, a fitting match for Chen Lu.

The location of the family meeting wasn’t set anywhere else but in Chen Pingsheng’s private club.

This private club is very discreet and is usually meant for hosting important business and political figures.

Today, it became the venue for the Old Chen Family’s reunion.

The sister-in-law Song Wu has two children; the elder, Song Chaoqun, was caught, and the younger, Song Siming, is also not well-behaved.

With his elder brother’s example, he has no choice but to behave now.

The eldest sister’s two daughters, Xiao Ya and Xiao Le, also came.

They both entered the system right after graduating from university; Xiao Ya has been there for almost twenty years.

Xiao Le has been there for seventeen years.

No matter how abundant resources are in the system, one still needs to endure over time.

Xiao Ya has already reached the director level, and Xiao Le is still honing in the position of county secretary.

Reaching ministerial level before age fifty would be considered very successful.

This is the crucial step for the sisters to truly transcend class, reaching the ministerial level changes everything.

It’s a real position of power; in the city, even a mere stomp would make the wealthy tremble thrice.

Using a TV Series character as a metaphor, Gao Qiqiang wouldn’t even have a spot at the table in front of a ministerial heavyweight.

He’d be sitting at the kids’ table, exchanging pleasantries with their juniors.

Because of Xiao Ya and Xiao Le’s success, the eldest sister Chen Yao’s status within the family became extraordinary.

At least she has a much higher standing than the younger sister and Song Wu.

Just below Chen Pingsheng and Song Yanxi. The eldest sister has always been very practical; she doesn’t aim for big business but instead takes care of storefronts on Nanjing Road, managing some supermarkets and department stores.

At the end of the year, she easily earns one or two hundred million, far surpassing the average rich person.

The key is, it doesn’t require much mental effort.

She’s over sixty and has long started enjoying life.

“Pingsheng, our family is still missing someone, why don’t you get Qilin out first?”

“Yes, big brother, Qilin is still your own nephew, you can’t let him stay in there for too long.”

The younger sister Chen Qi quickly added, having finally persuaded her mother to come out, she couldn’t miss this opportunity.

Chen Pingsheng sat there without saying a word, listening to his younger sister’s foolish antics.

Th𝙞𝖘 𝙘hӑp†𝑒r 𝘪𝖘 p0𝖘𝕥𝗲𝘥 b𝙮 𝙆𝐢𝘵ᥱṉ𝑜𝐯𝘦𝗹

Xiao Le finally chimed in: “Little Aunt, I truly understand your feelings right now, but this matter really can’t be handled by Uncle. Qilin has broken a major taboo in the system; if it weren’t for Uncle’s good reputation, people would show some respect for him, and his reason for entering wouldn’t just be drunk driving.”

Joking aside, the girl’s family had an engagement with a retired deputy minister.

And if you’re openly snatching a bride from a family like that, where is their pride?

Even a slight mention of this issue could cause a stir, and it’s evident he’s there for more than just drunk driving.

“He’s still young… How many doting mothers use this as an excuse.”

Noisy attempts to defend him…what an excuse!

Chen Qi, you’re getting more and more muddleheaded. In the past, you weren’t sensible, but at least you weren’t foolish enough to cause trouble by picking fights.

“I, Chen Pingsheng, have worked hard for decades not to harbor your mistakes, but to make it a place where you have an opportunity to choose your own life.

“Not like our eldest sister’s two children, who seem to have such brilliant lives but actually live ones that have been prearranged.”

On the outside, it seems good, but who knows what’s really inside?

Once the advantages of the era all disappear, who won’t be tossed about in it, busy and exhausted.
