Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

Chapter 537: Chapter 334: Legacy

The next day.

A heavy rain came to Magic City.

The sky was gloomy, entirely oppressive.

Since there was no business at Carefree Restaurant, Chen Pingsheng sat at the entrance and watched the busy street pedestrians.

Chen An’an was still beside him, propping her jaws with both hands. She had made three little wishes yesterday, and she still didn’t know whether they would be fulfilled.

Due to the heavy rain, it seemed like the construction site was forced to halt.

Guo Shuai’s father, a peasant worker, came over with his coworkers, his face filled with joy.

This morning his son had received an acceptance letter from Tengying Group.

This was incredibly unexpected, and he felt that his son was so distinguished that only a big group like Tengying deserved his son’s years of effort.

In Magic City, who didn’t know Tengying? A real major corporation.

The old father’s face cleared of its usual haze, and he even called his coworkers over to specifically have a few drinks.

To celebrate.

Chen An’an laughed heartily, energized even in her duties as a waitress.

She especially sent them a bottle of Maotai that was more than twenty years old.

These were the wishes she had made, feeling inexplicable joy from the faces of others.

In the afternoon, Yang Wei also passed by their door.

She didn’t stop or come in to eat; only seen wearing new clothes and carrying a large umbrella, she hurriedly left the urban village.

When she returned in the evening, her roommates said she had cried.

Water Cloud Space headquarters had personally sent a message, officially hiring her as a Water Cloud Space employee.

She would enjoy all the benefits and treatment that Water Cloud Space employees deserve.

She even met the female CEO of Water Cloud Space, Song Yanxi.

It seemed like she knew her situation and personally wrote some blessings for her joining.

The gears of fate began to turn.

The girl who still worked hard alone after finishing her daily job was finally at the prime of her life, moving out of the urban village into a Water Cloud Space University apartment.

Everything was to begin anew.

There she would receive the best education, enjoy the highest level of benefits.

In a few years, after her education was complete, she might transform from the girl who used to screw bolts to a high-income resident of the city.

The dream of a carefree life was also realized in this very moment.

The responsibility of the corporation also began to be imprinted in Chen An’an’s restless heart from now on.

Her father was showing her through the most practical actions that outstanding corporations do not just chase profits, but they are dreams forged together by countless employees.

To guard these dreams is to guard the company itself.

Chen An’an happily pulled the little fart kid around the store, dancing the butt dance.

She also spontaneously sang her best double nunchucks song.

Not just Yang Wei left the urban village, but Guo Shuai and his peasant worker father did too.

Qiang was still frying his egg fried rice in the heavy rain, but this time he also faced a bolt from the blue.

His university student girlfriend, who had been spending his money, came to bid him farewell in a Ferrari.

She thanked him for his years of devotion, but also told him they weren’t suitable.

She was going to chase her city dreams—bluntly put, once she got on the Ferrari, she didn’t want to come down.

Even though the man wasn’t particularly handsome and had a big belly,

as long as she could sit in a Ferrari, none of that mattered.

The moment she got out of the car, she could enjoy everyone’s envious stares, which was all she truly wanted.

Qiang even chased after her for a long while, shouting a few times, “Yanzi, Yanzi, how can I live without you?”

Years of devotion, turned into a joke in a single day.

Loyal to a fault, loyal till he had nothing left. @@novelbin@@

Chen An’an was almost overwhelmed with joy from above and nearly forgot about Qiang’s existence.

Among the three, he was undoubtedly the most miserable.

She made a wish yesterday, and today that woman left in a Ferrari—no need to think about it, it was obviously arranged by her dad.

Only her dad had the power to manipulate the love stories of ordinary people so effortlessly.

Undoubtedly.

Her dad was also using the most direct method, making him thoroughly end this relationship.

If he could still accept this and go on being loyal to a fault,

then not even a god coming down could save him.

As for that woman, in three days, she would inevitably pay the price for her decision.

The price wasn’t too steep, just requiring her to cover a meal that cost a hundred thousand.

When she couldn’t afford it, she would lose all face and substance she had pursued.

Everything had been arranged.

The games of the rich were not something a fledgling gold-digger like her could play.

Qiang wept heart-wrenchingly, and indeed, there was a girl who had always been quietly looking after him by his side.

She was just a shoe factory worker, Fang, who often bought fried rice from him.

Chen An’an didn’t ask her dad if this girl was also his arrangement.

The whole urban village knew what followed, after losing Qiang, the college student woman was quickly dumped by the middle-aged man in the Ferrari.

She still owed tens of thousands for a meal at a high-end restaurant in Magic City, where she had told the front desk beforehand that she would pay the bill.

She accepted it herself.

All this was but her desire to leave an impression that she did not care much about money.

She wanted to sell a naïve persona to please the man in the Ferrari, but she had ended up trapping herself.

When Qiang received her tearful call, he couldn’t help but want to pay for her.

His two childhood friends who’d rushed over from his hometown tied him up at home.

They wouldn’t let him go, no matter what.

When his friends heard that he had broken up with the harmful woman, they had specifically come from home to “comfort” him.

It was to prevent him from doing something foolish again—childhood friends, the brothers he had grown up with.

Such people were often closer than biological brothers.

They refused to let him spend another dime on that woman.

The city’s dazzle confused the heart.

Many women might have been simple-minded before they came to the city, but the charm of Ten Li Foreign Market lay in the fact that having money was heaven.

Without money, you were just passing through.

Chen An’an witnessed this scene with little fart kid, not knowing why her dad had specifically wanted her to see Qiang’s story.

Perhaps it was just ordinary people’s love.

A game, merely a dream.

Qiang didn’t set up his stall for a week, yet Carefree Restaurant was open every day here.

Li Qian, who used to come once every two days, was now coming every day.

Chen An’an was not stupid; she was actually very smart.

She merely had to look at the change in Li Qian’s eyes to know that she had discovered her dad was not just an ordinary chef.

Chen An’an thought it over and didn’t send her any Romantic Conti or those fancy teas she couldn’t afford.

Instead, she took out a set of keys and handed them to her.

“Qian, if you could live near the company, spend your time on more meaningful things every day, you’ll surely get a promotion and a raise sooner,”

Chen An’an was still laughing joyfully, but her eyes occasionally showed a shrewdness not typical for her age.

“An’an, what is this?” Li Qian puzzled.

Chen An’an said, “This is the last gift I’m giving you, a small two-bedroom, one-living room around ninety square meters near The Bund. Since you know about my dad’s identity, you should understand that we have many such apartments.”

“You, you, you knew I found out?”

“Not only did I know, my dad knew it the moment you found out,”

Chen An’an posed with her hands on her hips, “He’s my dad, and also the founder of Tengying Group. It’s impossible for you to deceive him. This little apartment is my final memento for you.”

Li Qian really wanted to refuse because she knew that accepting this gift would sever her connection with this family.

Just like the unexpected twists in the fates of a few minor characters who suddenly appeared here, hers was the same.

Yet.

She was just an ordinary office worker, after all.

How could she refuse an apartment near The Bund in Magic City?

Accepting and leaving was her best choice.

Chen An’an wasn’t too disappointed.

Unknowingly, she had already been in this urban village for nearly forty days.

The summer seemed to pass so quickly.

Yet it also felt as long as half a century.

Her father had brought her along to witness the joys and sorrows of many ordinary people’s lives.

Life is a journey without turning back; whether you like it or not, time keeps pushing you forward silently.

The lessons her dad taught here were more than what she learned in four years of elementary school combined.

Father, a great and reliable shoulder.
