Reborn: Billionaire in College

Chen Guangming drove the road back to the village, leaving Chen Pingjiang to accompany Yan Yan.

"This year, our relatives knew we were coming back, so they rushed back no matter how far away they were, just to see you and Yan Yan."

When Xu Fangjuan spoke, there was an unstoppable sense of pride and arrogance on her face, and she felt quite proud.

The idiom "a mother's status depends on her son" powerfully illustrates Xu Fangjuan's current family status.

When he was young, Chen Pingjiang's grandparents favored boys over girls. Even when Xu Fangjuan and Chen Guangming got married, her family did not look favorably upon this dull construction worker.

In the past, when I went back to my parents’ home, everyone was friendly on the surface, but privately they would still compare the children’s studies and work, and whose family was more prosperous and whose family was not.

Xu Fangjuan and Chen Pingjiang's aunt-in-law also have an average relationship.

In recent years, the situation has suddenly changed.

It is not enough to describe the flattery that Xu Fangjuan became the number one star in the family group.

Chen Pingjiang knew that his mother had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, so he paid for a house for each family and did his best to help find jobs if needed.

To be honest, Chen Pingjiang didn't have much contact with these relatives. He did this purely to save face for his mother.

When the village entrance was in sight, Chen Pingjiang saw a crowd of people ahead.

Then someone quickly dispersed the people around and lit the fireworks.

There was a constant banging sound.

"Is that man my cousin? I've seen him before." Yan Yan pointed at the middle-aged man holding the firecrackers.

"Yan Yan has such a good memory?"

Chen Pingjiang also nodded: "Xu Zhiyang, you met him at Zhongshan Villa."

Xu Zhiyang is the only son of his uncle and is very close to Chen Pingjiang. A few years ago, Chen Pingjiang arranged for him to work in Zhizhen Catering. He is currently working as a junior supervisor in the purchasing department and occasionally goes to Zhongshan Villa to show his face.

Chen Guangming drove straight to the door of Chen Pingjiang's grandfather's house without stopping.

There were constant sounds of firecrackers along the way, and the red carpet was pulled directly from the village entrance. It was quite a big scene.

After getting off the car, Chen Pingjiang waved to Xu Zhiyang, who hurried over to offer him a cigarette: "You did all this, didn't you? It's too ostentatious."

Seeing Chen Pingjiang frowning, Xu Zhiyang waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, it was all the adults at home who made the decision."

"Hi cousin."

"Hey, sister-in-law, you're welcome." When Xu Zhiyang saw Yan Yan calling him, he quickly bent down and nodded.

He is one of the relatives who is closer to Chen Pingjiang, but is far inferior to Zhou Guanghan.

The closer they got to Chen Pingjiang, the more they understood his social status and wealth, and the more frightened they became.

On weekdays, Xu Zhiyang can get whatever he wants in the group.

However, he is not stupid. At most, he would try to take small advantage of others, but he would never dare to take anything bigger. If others try to curry favor with him, he would just pretend to be nice.

It seemed that Chen Pingjiang patted Zhou Guanghan, who had rushed back from the next village, affectionately, and Xu Zhiyang felt uncomfortable.

How come our close relationship is not as good as a distant relative?

As soon as the Chen family got out of the car, they started calling out all kinds of names.

"Aunt, uncle!"

"Fangjuan, Guangming."

"..."

"Oh, Pingjiang, is this Yan Yan? I've seen your engagement photos before, and you're even prettier in person than in the engagement photos."

"Cousin, cousin!"

Chen Pingjiang's cousins ​​all gathered around.

"Girls, don't surround Pingjiang, let him sit at the table."

The eldest uncle ran out to rescue the situation and welcomed Chen Pingjiang into the house.

At the octagonal table, grandparents sat at the top, followed by Chen Guangming and Chen Pingjiang, then it was the turn of my eldest and younger uncles, and as for the other uncles-in-law, they all had to stand aside.

In one room, there are hundreds of different kinds of people.

The younger cousins ​​pulled Yan Yan into the next room to chat.

The rest of the younger generation and the elders from each family were all in the main room.

Grandpa and grandma looked at Chen Pingjiang with a smile, and other relatives looked at him with a bit of awe, and some uncles who had little contact with him were too embarrassed to talk to them. Some others looked at Chen Pingjiang with curiosity.

In such occasions, no matter how much Chen Pingjiang didn't want to speak, he had to hold up the Chen family's face.

If the focus of the audience doesn't speak, everyone will just think he is aloof, cold and arrogant.

However, this kind of occasion is nothing to Chen Pingjiang.

The first thing they ask about is your health; the second is how your work is going; and the third is about your children’s studies and work.

Firmly seize the initiative.

"Pingjiang, your cousin and his wife want to take over the canteen of Renren.com. What do you think?"

The person who spoke was Chen Pingjiang's aunt.

Hearing this, Chen Pingjiang shifted his gaze to his eldest cousin Pang Zhichao and his cousin-in-law Shi Yuxia who were standing in the corner of the room.

The two of them lowered their heads at the same time, both feeling a little embarrassed and not daring to look at Chen Pingjiang's eyes.

"Aunt, don't take over the canteen. Ask my cousin and his wife to come to me and become a franchisee of Miaocha. Miaocha hasn't entered Tongcheng yet, so we'll give it to them."

Pang Zhichao and Shi Yuxia were delighted and hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

Miaocha is now the number one milk tea brand in China, surpassing brands such as Yidiandian and COCO. As long as it is open, business will definitely be good.

Chen Pingjiang is not a pushover. He is a relative and he gives such good treatment just because he asked for it.

The main reason is that my aunt’s family is a little special.

In the previous life, the two families lived not far from each other and they visited each other quite often.

My uncle died early from esophageal cancer, and my aunt also had lung cancer, so they have little ability to work.

My cousin Pang Zhichao had an even more unfortunate fate. He was diagnosed with kidney cancer at the age of 45. Generally speaking, kidney cancer is easier to cure, but he was diagnosed in the wrong location and was in the late stage. He was hospitalized for surgery and died not long after, leaving behind an orphan and a widow.

I hope I can help you in this life.

Thinking of this, Chen Pingjiang planned to ask his mother to remind them to go for physical examinations.

We cannot help but believe that cancer is hereditary.

Some relatives, seeing that Chen Pingjiang was so easy to talk to, also started to make requests.

"Pingjiang!"

Unexpectedly, my grandfather said, "There are a lot of people helping you. They all have hands and feet. You should know the situation." This sentence suppressed all other voices.

…………

For two consecutive days, Chen Pingjiang and his family took Yan Yan to Xu Fangjuan's parents' home and then to Chen's hometown to worship their ancestors.

Only then can a set of processes be completed.

This is already fast.

On the way back, Xu Fangjuan smiled and held Yan Yan's hand and whispered to her.

She is satisfied with both her daughters-in-law, Ge Mengshi and Yan Yan. She loves them both.

When Chen Pingjiang saw this scene, he was thinking, what would happen if his mother knew about Zhang Xinyue?

"We are getting old, and we will have fewer and fewer opportunities to come back. In a few years, we may not be able to come back. You have a special status and are busy, so you will come back less and less often. This time you can accompany your mother back to her parents' home. She may not say it, but she is happy in her heart."

Chen Guangming sat in the passenger seat and kept chattering.

Chen Pingjiang was moved when he heard this: "After the Chinese New Year, take some time with my mom to go for a physical examination."

"Ah? How can I say this nicely?"

"Just go if you're asked to go. You two have nothing to do anyway."

"Okay, go!" Chen Guangming was also touched by his son's concern.

Chen Guangming already had high blood pressure at that time, and in 15 he suffered a cerebral thrombosis and died soon after.

Now that the trajectory of my life has changed, I don’t have to worry about anything anymore. I feel more relaxed and in a much better state.

To a certain extent, Chen Pingjiang's success is also changing the fate of those around him.

He felt that this was the meaning of his existence.

He couldn't just mind his own business and watch his closest person continue on his original life trajectory.

After returning to Dongjiang, Yan Yan was not in a hurry to go back because there was no one at home.

Yan Liming and Li Yuhua visited relatives and paid New Year's greetings in Dongjiang, but they were not there.

He took advantage of the situation and moved into Chen Pingjiang's house.

Since they are engaged, it's no big deal for them to sleep in the same room.

During these few days, the Chen family has been living very cautiously.

Xu Fangjuan and Chen Guangming both wanted to go see Xiao Doubao, but since Yan Yan was there, they didn't dare go out.

He was even more afraid that Ge Bingyi and his wife would come running over.

It was not until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year when Yan Yan had to go back to work.

"Hey, I've been really nervous these past few days, afraid that the... Shura Field you mentioned would happen." Xu Fangjuan spread her hands and said, "What kind of thing is this? We have to solve it, otherwise it will be exposed sooner or later. The longer we delay, the greater the harm to others."

Although the old couple were not involved in the incident, they could be considered accomplices in the concealment.

Chen Guangming, who hadn't smoked for a long time, also started smoking. "Your mother and I agree. You can't hurt Yan Yan."

"Got it, I'll deal with it as soon as possible."

Originally, Chen Pingjiang was planning to talk about Zhang Xinyue's affairs, but after seeing this situation, how could he dare to say it?
It would be troublesome if the affairs of several women were dragged on like this.

Now he is like walking on a tightrope.

He just relied on Yan Yan's non-clinginess, otherwise he would have been exposed long ago.

But sooner or later there will be a day when the secret cannot be concealed anymore.

I have no idea how to solve it.

Fortunately, he had dealt with Ge Mengshi and Zhang Xinyue, the problem was how to get Yan Yan to accept it.

"Take a step and take a look."

…………

On the first day of work after the New Year, Chen Pingjiang carried a thick stack of red envelopes and distributed them to the management of several companies.

When he arrived at Renren, Guan Yifeng brought his new secretary to meet Chen Pingjiang.

"Director Chen, this is Xu Rui, the new secretary that the Human Resources Department has selected for you. He was trained in the secretarial department for a month at the end of last year, and now he's officially transferred here to hone his skills."

Chen Pingjiang nodded: "Xu Rui, right? You can learn from Secretary Guan first, and we will observe him too."

Chen Pingjiang had read Xu Rui's resume and he was the one who nodded his approval.

Graduated from a prestigious university, had a good resume during college, and also had certain work experience.

However, whether it will work or not will depend on Chen Pingjiang using it himself before making a final decision.

After all, there are 6-7 such people in the Secretariat.

Xu Rui wore glasses and looked gentle. He nodded a little stiffly: "Okay, Mr. Chen."

Not long after, Li Xi hurried to Chen Pingjiang's office: "Mr. Chen, Alipay has just updated its version and launched the red envelope function, and they are so generous."

Chen Pingjiang was not surprised at all by this.

Alipay has always been generous when it comes to sending out red envelopes, and it does so from time to time.

"It seems that their developers didn't even celebrate the Chinese New Year. They worked overtime for a week and finally finished the product. They even tested it." Chen Pingjiang smiled. It was obvious that Lao Ma was anxious.

“How do we respond?”

Hearing Li Xi's question, Chen Pingjiang raised his eyebrows and pointed to the sign on the office door. "I am only a consultant now, and you are the chairman of Renren.com. I should be the one asking you this question."

Li Xi smiled awkwardly: "I'm used to it."

"Then this habit must be changed."

Chen Pingjiang is planning to give Li Xi some advice.

Li Xi frowned and said slowly: "I think there is no need to deal with it for the time being."

"Tell me more specifically."

"WeChat is a social platform with a large user base. As long as people use it, it will generate huge consumption. Even if users go to Alipay to grab red envelopes, they will have to use WeChat in the end?"

Chen Pingjiang laughed and nodded with satisfaction: "That's a good answer. That's probably what it means. Alipay sends red envelopes to attract traffic and promote their offline channels and other products. Card binding is secondary. The purpose of our Spring Festival Gala red envelopes is to bind cards, which is different from Alipay's purpose."

"You have a heavy task this year. Alipay will make efforts, but you can't be impatient."

“Now, Alipay red envelopes are showing signs of becoming popular, and have even taken over WeChat Moments.”

"So what are you waiting for? Turn off the interface shared by Alipay. Remember, what Alipay lacks is the interpersonal network diagram, and they must not get it." (End of this chapter)
