Reborn: Billionaire in College

After the Spring Festival, Chen Pingjiang’s schedule for the first month of the year was very full.

Not only do I have to receive other people's New Year greetings, but I also have to pay New Year's greetings to certain key figures. This is a compulsory course every year and I can't be careless. The rest of the time is spent in the villa.

It took Chen Pingjiang a long time to recall all the major Internet events in 2014.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of China's Internet. This year, Alibaba acquired UC and listed on NASDAQ. On the day of listing, Alibaba's market value surpassed Facebook, making it the world's second largest Internet company by market value, second only to Google in the world.

But Alibaba probably doesn’t have that potential now.

It was also the year when Qvod was banned and Wang Xin was thrown into jail. In this timeline, Wang Xin lived freely and became a complete business tycoon.

In May of this year, JD.com will also be listed. It will become the fourth largest Internet listed company in China after Renren, Alibaba, Tencent and Baidu. However, it is estimated that it will not be long before it is squeezed to the fifth place by Renrengou.

Chen Pingjiang wrote and drew on paper, listing several work priorities for this year.

We will continue to deepen our layout in the chip sector. Renrengou was successfully listed and several games of Renren were launched.

The top priority is naturally the Tik Tok project.

With more and more time left for work and life, Chen Pingjiang rarely has a vacation to sit down and calmly reflect on himself.

"I've been fiddling in the study since I got up this morning. I haven't come downstairs all morning. The relatives who came to our house have asked about it several times, Master."

The study door was pushed open and my mother Xu Fangjuan walked in.

As soon as she entered the study, Xu Fangjuan frowned and glanced at the smoke that was lingering in the air.

"How many times have I told you to smoke less? Your wife is still pregnant, she can't breathe secondhand smoke, and you don't even turn on the fresh air system?"

Chen Pingjiang's thoughts were interrupted, and he waved his hands with a wry smile: "Yan Yan has returned to her hometown, so I dared to smoke two more cigarettes. I will be down in a while, you and your relatives can eat first."

Unexpectedly, Xu Fangjuan did not complain any more, and there was an inexplicable sense of heartache in her eyes when she looked at Chen Pingjiang.

Xu Fangjuan is no longer the illiterate rural woman she used to be. After being influenced by her surroundings for a long time, she can understand how heavy the burden is on the shoulders of her son, the head of a business giant.

Yan Yan followed Chen Pingjiang's father-in-law and his family of three back to their hometown first. Chen Pingjiang had planned to go too, after all, it was the first year of marriage. But unexpectedly, Yan Liming declined first.

Firstly, Chen Pingjiang's identity was sensitive; secondly, he was afraid that Chen Pingjiang would be unhappy and uncomfortable there; thirdly, he also knew how busy Chen Pingjiang was during the first month of the year.

Early in the morning this year, relatives came to the house to pay New Year's greetings. Chen Pingjiang showed up, said hello, and then returned to the study.

Given his current status, it is difficult for him to chat with his relatives for a long time, as that would make everyone uncomfortable. So just saying hello is just the right amount of time and won't put pressure on others.

When it comes to receiving relatives from their hometown, Chen Guangming and his wife are the main forces, while Chen Pingjiang is like a mascot who just needs to show up.

After thinking things through, Chen Pingjiang walked to the window, opened it, and waved away the smoke in the study. A gust of cold wind blew, and Chen Pingjiang became more alert. After shrinking his neck, he closed the window again and went downstairs.

When going downstairs, Chen Pingjiang met Zhou Guanghan.

During the holidays, Zhou Guanghan is the one who comes most frequently. Others also want to come, but they are not qualified.

Zhou Guanghan has lived in the Chen family for so many years that he has become like a family to the Chen family. Therefore, there is also a guest room for Zhou Guanghan in the Chen family villa.

During the Chinese New Year, Zhou Guanghan acted as Chen Pingjiang's personal assistant, dealing with visitors who came to pay New Year's greetings.

"Grand uncle, He Zhiyu, Old He, and Liu Cheng are here together."

Chen Pingjiang nodded: "You go and deal with it first, I'll go to the restaurant to say hello and come right over."

When we arrived at the big restaurant, we saw a large round table that could accommodate twenty people and it was full.

When the crowd, who were chatting animatedly, saw Chen Pingjiang show up, the noise died down and they greeted Chen Pingjiang with envy and awe as he walked in.

The smart nanny quickly pulled open the main seat that had been vacant for a long time, and Chen Pingjiang sat down on it without hesitation.

"I'm a little busy this morning. Sorry everyone, you guys can eat first. I told you not to wait for me."

Chen Pingjiang's second uncle then said "Oh" and smiled ingratiatingly, "No wonder Pingjiang's business is so big. He is so different from those small bosses I know. Those bosses only know how to eat and drink or play cards during festivals. Look at Pingjiang. He is so successful in his career and so rich, but he is still busy working on his days off."

Chen Pingjiang's uncle also said: "Pingjiang, you are busy with work, how can we eat first? We can wait for a while. We are not hungry. We just finished eating not long ago."

As he said this, Chen Pingjiang's uncle glared at his daughter, Chen Pingjiang's cousin, who was sitting next to him. "You call me brother every day at home, but how come you can't even call me when you meet me? Call me!" "Brother!" Chen Pingjiang's cousin Chen Yourong, who was also in her second year of high school, was very pretty and called out affectionately with an excited look in her eyes.

This sentence seemed to open up a conversation.

"Call me, call me, uncle!"

"Call uncle."

"..."

A group of kids of different ages started shouting at the urging of Chen Pingjiang's cousins.

Chen Pingjiang smiled and took out the red envelopes he had prepared long ago and gave a stack to each person.

As soon as Chen Yourong took it, he was shocked and muttered, "It's so thick."

Each red envelope contains 20,000 yuan!
Several cousins ​​wanted to refuse, but after Chen Pingjiang glared at them with pretended displeasure, they took back their words.

After Chen Pingjiang toasted everyone one by one, he said, "Everyone, please enjoy your meal. I have a few friends over there who are paying New Year's greetings. I will go and entertain them."

"Okay, okay, Pingjiang, go do your thing first."

"Would you please go after you have eaten?"

"..."

Although everyone was polite in words, they all breathed a sigh of relief only after Chen Pingjiang left the restaurant.

Before I came, I wanted to see Chen Pingjiang, but when I came and saw him in person, I was a little scared.

Not to mention the younger generation or Chen Pingjiang's peers, even the uncles and aunts found it a bit overwhelmed and became much more restrained than usual.

They were a group of people who looked restrained, and Chen Pingjiang felt uncomfortable sitting there.

Whenever he is present, the focus is naturally on him, and it is impossible for others to avoid him and talk about other topics.

But it's fine to chat with Chen Pingjiang about family matters, and everyone is tactful when talking about other things. How can you be so incompetent as to fill in the gaps when you don't know shit?

Chen Pingjiang could only politely talk about things in his hometown and the work of his cousins. There was really nothing else to talk about.

In that case, it’s better to leave early to avoid making everyone uncomfortable.

Chen Pingjiang is not showing off. He doesn't even recognize his relatives when they come. There is really an insurmountable gap between them.

The perspectives and insights are not on the same dimensional level.

The Chen family had more contact with Xu Fangjuan's family, and less contact with Chen Guangming's relatives. Chen Pingjiang couldn't even call out the names of some people when he met them, and it would be uncomfortable for everyone if they continued to stay.

After coming out of the big restaurant, Chen Pingjiang walked quickly to the cigar room.

Chen Pingjiang rarely uses this cigar room. Even though he is rich, he is not used to it.

First, I am not used to drinking red wine; second, I am not used to smoking cigars.

Therefore, the cigar room is more of a reception room.

This cigar room is about 365 to square meters, with complete facilities and constant temperature and humidity days a year. In addition to professional cigar collection equipment, there is also a two-million-dollar audio system.

The large floor-to-ceiling windows reflect the scene outside. Dongjiang had a heavy snowfall two days ago, and the snow has not melted yet. The sunlight shines on the roof of the villa opposite and reflects into the cigar room, making the entire cigar room a little brighter.

It's chilly outside, but warm inside.

"Hey? Lao He, what happened during the New Year? Why do you still look unhappy?"

As soon as Chen Pingjiang entered the door, he saw He Zhiyu looking out the window with a frown, as if he was worried about something.

Liu Cheng on the side was enjoying his cigar comfortably, chatting with Zhou Guanghan from time to time.

Seeing Chen Pingjiang coming in, Liu Cheng quickly stood up and greeted him. Finally, He Zhiyu smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, I have nowhere to go during the New Year, so I came to disturb you. I heard that relatives came to your house. I hope I didn't disturb you?" (End of this chapter)
