Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

The teacher made a home visit.

A perfectly normal occurrence, yet Chen Pingsheng still came out to receive the guest himself.

This also showed his emphasis on the education of the family's spoiled brat.

Shen Qing was young and gently mannered, standing around one point six meters tall, dressed in a thick, snow-white down jacket.

It has to be said that the temperature in Magic City come December can be quite low.

In the blink of an eye, New Year's Day is just around the corner, and a new year will soon be upon us.

Sitting on the living room sofa with a notebook in hand, Shen Qing was there because Pingsheng was busy with Splendid Night over in Capital City, leaving only An'an's Dad to handle things.

"An'an's Dad, I'd like to ask how you generally view the issue of your child's education at home?"

"Mainly, it's about cultivating her personal values and interests,"

Chen Pingsheng said, "When An'an was very young, we hired private tutors, but they were of no use. Later, she took an interest in things like martial arts, erhu, and live streaming."

Shen Qing glanced at Chen An'an sitting quietly beside them, a rare sight to see her so calm.

"An'an has a great relationship with her peers at school, and she's indeed very talented. In a few days, we will have our school's New Year's performing arts celebration, where she's one of the main contributors from our class. An'an's Dad, if you have time, you really should attend."

"Of course I will,"

Chen Pingsheng said, "After An'an grows up, I still hope she can inherit a portion of the family's business assets, so her educational direction will increasingly shift towards the business sector. You probably already know the specific reason, Mr. Shen, it seems she really doesn't have much talent for academics."

Shen Qing nodded; this was something she had come to understand deeply.

Many children are like this, not because they don't try hard, but because they truly can't learn the material.

Tengying Group was recently reported to have assets reaching two hundred billion.

Although the news said most of it was invested by Middle Eastern Royalty, such a huge conglomerate will inevitably need someone to inherit it in the future.

Clearly, Chen An'an, including that three-year-old little girl, are part of this.

A real-life wealthy heir.

"I understand. The school will also adjust An'an's personal education methods according to your personal requirements,"

The advantage of exorbitant tuition fees is now apparent.

An ordinary school simply cannot tailor the education to the student; they teach everyone together, attending well to the good students but virtually ignoring the rest.

After asking a few more questions, Chen Pingsheng suddenly asked her, "Mr. Shen, do you have a boyfriend?"

What does this question mean?

Even Chen An'an beside them was baffled, what was Dad up to?

Was it necessary to ask her teacher such a thing?

Shen Qing shook her head; indeed, she had no boyfriend.

Her family had introduced a few men to her, but none had caught her eye.

Chen Pingsheng smiled and told her he would introduce her to someone suitable later on.

He also had Chen An'an see her teacher out.

After the teacher left, Chen An'an came over with her hands on her back, "Dad, you're not seriously thinking of introducing a boyfriend to my teacher, are you?"

"What's the problem with that? She has the qualifications and the looks. Not one person with a talent for academics has emerged from the Chen family so far; shouldn't we try to improve our family's genes a bit?"

All right, I'm nearly defeated by your logic.

Chen An'an looked at her bewildered little sister, who would be three years old next May, completely unaware that she's a little prodigy.

Spend her days reciting poetry to chickens.

Chen An'an added, "I have two performances at the New Year's party, and I need you to clap really hard for me then, Dad!"

"No problem at all."

Time really flies, thought Chen Pingsheng, who would take the spoiled brat to his company whenever he found time, letting her do small jobs in the headquarters' office like cleaning windows and organizing files.

Perhaps affected by the recent struggle with Hua Teng, the spoiled brat seemed to realize that running a business is never static.

There's never absolute stability.

You must always remain cautious and respectful towards the market.

As the year was about to end, many things required his signature, like the year-end bonuses.

Zhang Wanyi said, "Chen, this is the 2016 profit report for the Group, as well as a year-end bonus report jointly created by the finance and HR departments. There are three proposals here, but we still need you to decide the final year-end bonus plan."

After a busy year, it's essential to reward the staff.

Chen Pingsheng looked through the documents; the Group's total operating profit for the year reached 14.8 billion.

Water Cloud Space alone contributed 2.4 billion.

Xin Teng Live Streaming, established this year, made 2.2 billion.

Additionally, Tengying Entertainment led the figures with a net profit of 3.6 billion.

Along with Tengsheng Fruits, Antler Coffee, Tenghui Department Store, Snacks Dash, and Fei Yangyang, Bobo Milk Tea, and others all contributed significant net incomes as well.

There was also the Yateng Short Drama, which had been established for less than a few months and yet contributed more than 800 million in net profits.

Short film production is pure profit, it's just uncertain how long this can last.

The biggest problem with this kind of thing is that the barrier to entry is not high, almost anyone with some professionalism and capital can do it.

This also means that it's destined to enter an era of intense competition.

The profit was 14.8 billion, and the corporate income tax rate is generally 25%.

After various legitimate tax avoidance strategies, approximately 2 billion had to be paid.

Unbeknownst to them, they had become major taxpayers.

Chen Pingsheng chose the highest plan among the three options, setting the annual bonus at around 3 billion.

This annual bonus didn't include the front-line employees at the stores.

If their family were to include the front-line employees, just Fei Yangyang alone would have more than 50,000 people.

The front-line store employees have a fixed annual bonus ratio, roughly two to six months of salary.

The 3 billion was allocated to the employees at the group headquarters, with each person getting at least 30,000 to 100,000.

After handling the group's annual bonuses, Zhang Wanyi asked about the organization of this year's annual corporate meeting.

Last year's meeting was particularly grand, and although the group has faced some minor setbacks this year, the overall direction has still been quite good.

Thus, the annual meeting became a large-scale event within the group.

"The annual meeting is still set for mid-January, just let the planning department come up with a plan based on a budget of 150 million."

Every year, Tengying's annual meeting is a corporate internal carnival, which Zhang Wanyi herself looks forward to.

With Tengying Entertainment's current influence, they don't need to pay for celebrities to perform at their year-end party.

Stars would rush to sign up, and with a budget of 150 million for the event, the scale of it is exciting just to think about.

As New Year's Day approaches, there are many major events within the group, and Chen Pingsheng also becomes busier.

However, all these matters would still be handled by specific departments; he was just responsible for confirming the final plans.

Since the spoiled brat had a performance on the New Year's Eve party, Chen Pingsheng didn't go to Capital City for the Splendid Night event at Water Cloud Space.

It's been several years now, and not only have the customers grown accustomed to it.

The staff of Water Cloud Space was already well-prepared for such a grand customer appreciation event, which happens once a year.

It was also a night for closing deals.

In the past, two events in Capital City could net over 10 billion, let alone now with only one event.

According to Song Yanxi's estimation, it wouldn't be less than 15 billion.

Chen Pingsheng couldn't be bothered with managing it; he just waited for the system to automatically calculate the results after the event.

...

The day before New Year's Day.

An international elementary school was holding a grand cultural and arts performance event.

Chen Pingsheng arrived quite early on purpose, as he would surely attend his little fart kid's school events whenever he had the time.

It was also a joyful process of accompanying his child's growth.

Finding a parking spot in the school's parking lot at that moment was extremely difficult.

It was Mr. Shen who kindly reserved a decent parking space for him.

After Chen Pingsheng parked the car, he walked inside with the little fart kid, greeting many people along the way.

Chen An'an also came over with a few of her best friends to see him.

"Dad, these are my two best friends at school. This is Zi, and this is Xiaomi."

They were all like her, little girls not yet ten years old, with braided hair.

Their parents were also present and exchanged pleasantries with him.

Chen Pingsheng asked, "What's your performance today?"

"One is playing the erhu, and the other is dancing."

"You can dance? I had no idea."

Chen Pingsheng was surprised, as he thought she preferred martial arts performances. How come it turned out to be dancing?

"Dad, I'm a refined girl. How can I always be fighting and kicking?"

The dance was actually a martial arts demonstration.

There were not a few students who practiced martial arts in the school, but none could perform as well as she did.

He still remembered how in Shijingshan Elementary School, the spoiled brat was always the comic relief on stage.

Now, she was seriously performing.

The erhu she always liked playing had truly reached a level of proficiency.

Chen Pingsheng had a seat in the front row, right next to the principal.

This was arranged on purpose.
