Teng You dia not only plans to go public itself but also hopes to spin off Clothes Warehouse No. 9 and Tengyou Youxuan for independent listings.
Creating an ultra-large influencer-driven economy centered around short-video comrce.
Chen Pingsheng didn't stay here long, only two days before returning ho.
His father's Red Star Restaurant was opening, and naturally, he had to show up.
Not only was Old Chen glowing with pride, but even Grandpa and the rest of the family seed the sa. Though they had been living a decent life in the villa in Magic City,
they had always wanted sothing to keep themselves busy. Now, with the opening of such a lively restaurant, everyone could spend their days together hustling in and out. Making money would be ideal,
but even if they didn't, it wouldn't matter much.
On the opening day, a lot of people ca, mainly relatives, with no business acquaintances around.
An old man starting a restaurant wasn't going to invite much fanfare. Just gathering family mbers for a al was more than good enough.
Little cousin Jiang Peiyao ca too. She's the pride of their hotown, undeniably the most beautiful girl from their area.
Her parents were practically worried sick about her situation. Chen Pingsheng had even tasked Lin Qiunan to investigate in Hengdian, Zhejiang, where she often fild.
To see if this young lady truly had no interest in n and had fallen for won instead.
Though it's normal in the entertainnt industry, back in their hotown, it would definitely stir up so laughs.
In rural areas, the idea of girls liking girls just doesn't exist.
Usually, this kind of thing only happens among unrestrained, free-spirited rich families,
or predominantly in the entertainnt industry.
Lin Qiunan did investigate, but she didn't dare share her suspicions with her boss.
Because she suspected that the reason Jiang Peiyao had never found a boyfriend all these years wasn't that she liked won,
but because she harbored an unspoken affection for soone deep in her heart.
And that person, nine tis out of ten, was none other than her boss himself.
Based on what she discovered, plenty of people in the entertainnt industry pursue Jiang Peiyao.
She's also one of the cleanest stars in the business—not only clean but with enviable connections, on top of having looks that are top-tier in the industry.
A girl like her could attract suitors not just from the entertainnt world but also from wealthy families throwing her olive branches.
Yet, she hasn't found anyone to date.
That in itself is strange enough, and even stranger is that she seems to love hearing people talk about how amazing her brother-in-law is.
Whenever outsiders bring it up, her interest seems to pique.
She could sit there and listen all day without a hint of boredom. In her bedroom, a few photos of the chairman were even found.
Because of her special relationship with him, no one had ever suspected anything, but Lin Qiunan's intuition told her that the person Jiang Peiyao had feelings for was none other than her brother-in-law.
Such affections were sothing Jiang Peiyao could never tell anyone, nor dare to let even the slightest hint of it slip.
Thinking about it, it did make sense. After all, when her boss asked Lin Qiunan to investigate, she already had a sense of the girl's life history.
Years ago, she went to the Capital City to seek help from her cousin's family, only to be naively tricked into working at a shady factory.
After working there for a while, her boss found her.
Then he brought her to Tengying Entertainnt, letting her go from zero to star within two years.
He hired the best tutors for her, and over ti, gave her a house in the Capital City, another in Magic City,
and even a Rolls-Royce.
For any young girl freshly stepping out into society, such gestures were irresistibly moving.
As her boss's business grew and his reputation soared,
even though she knew she couldn't have feelings for her brother-in-law, she concealed it so well that even her boss didn't notice.
But how could such little thoughts escape another woman's intuition, especially one like Lin Qiunan, who had been specifically investigating her?
Of course, this was sothing she could never speak of, and to tell the boss or not, Lin Qiunan struggled with that too.
After much thought, she decided she had to co clean.
Today, Chen Pingsheng had other matters to attend to and didn't go to the company, so Jiang Peiyao brought gifts to his father's new restaurant instead.
She was still as stunning as ever, with that pure and lovely deanor that was effortlessly endearing.
"Peiyao, I'll tell you this: Your mom's at it again, going on and on with your cousin. If you don't find a boyfriend soon, your parents will probably be jumping in frustration."
"Brother-in-law, I ca to bring gifts, and the first thing you talk about is this?" Jiang Peiyao stomped her feet, looking a bit annoyed.
"It's not that I want to nag, but even your cousin can't stand it anymore."
Chen Pingsheng teased, "You're the prettiest among us, so you've got to pick wisely. Just don't end up like my little sister-in-law, Song Wu."
Chen Pingsheng then shalessly imitated his sister-in-law, saying,
"Ah—money is precious, but love is even more so.
If I can't even choose the person I love, what's the point of earning so much money?"
Chen Pingsheng casually added, "And how's she doing now? Still sitting at ho crying with that little face of hers."
"Brother-in-law, she's your own sister-in-law! How could you say that about her?" Jiang Peiyao almost burst out laughing.
Song Wu, out of nowhere, had beco the family's cautionary tale.
"I'm just giving you advice. Always keep your eyes wide open when choosing a man. Look at your cousin—so sharp she picked out of the crowd as her dashing darling."
"Too bad there's only one of you, brother-in-law."
Chen Pingsheng didn't think too much of her remark.
When Jiang Peiyao was around, she was undoubtedly the center of attention among the younger generation.
Money or no money didn't matter. Her star status, stunning looks, and approachable personality made her likable by all.
Just as he finished talking about his sister-in-law, Song Wu waddled in, heavily pregnant.
The claim about her crying at ho was pure nonsense, although it was true she wasn't exactly happy.
She wasn't that fragile, though. If she weren't pregnant now, Chen Pingsheng might've already dragged her out to try matchmaking again.
So what if it's a second marriage with two kids? Marrying her would save a man a lifeti of struggle.
The question is—who'd refuse that?
As for her status in the family, unless the eldest were present, she was undoubtedly the one with the highest standing.
Song Shuiqing and Zhang Sitong both loved sitting next to her.
A pregnant woman naturally puts on a bit of weight, and she was no exception.
Once she sat down, the al officially began. The event was less about Old Chen achieving glory at sixty and more about finding sothing to do to keep life from feeling dull.
Old Chen and Peng Ying stood up together to say a few words,
mostly expressions of gratitude.
After the opening banquet, everyone returned to their respective corners.
Song Wu, however, sought out Chen Pingsheng after the al. "Hey, dear brother-in-law, what did I do to upset you this ti?"
"Upset ? You? When?" Chen Pingsheng looked genuinely puzzled.
"Hmph…" Little sister-in-law Song Wu mimicked his earlier tone, "Ah—money is precious, but love is even more so."
"Oh, you little traitor, Jiang Peiyao!"
Chen Pingsheng imdiately realized he had been double-crossed. Jiang Peiyao stuck out her tongue playfully and dashed away.
"Brother-in-law, it wasn't intentional! But who told you to keep pressing about getting a boyfriend?"
Song Wu made a few disgruntled noises, though she wasn't actually angry.
Over the years, her gratitude toward Chen Pingsheng was no less than Jiang Peiyao's.
Although after that fiasco with Yang Changwen, she found it hard to even face her brother-in-law.
