Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

Chapter 786: Chapter 593: Not an Easy Middle Age

Middle age is filled with countless difficulties.

Take divorce, unemployment, or even when your kid’s grades fall short as examples.

And of course, let’s not forget about aging parents getting sick and all that.

At this stage of life, everything requires money, and without money, you can’t sustain anything.

Chen Pingsheng rented out a top-tier restaurant to host a class reunion, though he only went as far as middle school in his education.

He had no experience of attending high school or university.

Back then, many of his classmates also dropped out after middle school. Some ended up working in factories, while others picked up skills.

Like car repair, cooking, hairstyling, and the like.

No matter how good or bad their relationships were in the past, whoever could make it showed up.

He rarely appeared in Sha City, but his reputation loomed large.

One instance that left an impression was for his grandmother. He completely shut down a hospital, causing a massive commotion.

That event ended with the investigation and shutdown of the hospital and the total collapse of the infamous Sha City gang led by the Third Master.

Another instance was when he stood up for his eldest sister’s daughter, Xiao Le, after the daughter of a school bully knelt at the gate of his villa for three days straight.

The school bully himself personally escorted his daughter into custody, becoming a story everyone in Sha City loved to gossip about.

It’s fair to say his fame in Sha City was entirely built on these two events.

That’s also why, when he called for a reunion, most of his classmates showed up.

Chang Fu came alone, while Chen Pingsheng brought both his spoiled brat and his Second Princess with him.

At their age, most had kids, and among those who were on good terms with them before, few remained unmarried.

The feast was abundant with fancy dishes.

Since many were still living in Sha City, they more or less knew each other’s situations.

As a result, the conversations flowed relatively smoothly.

For instance, Zhang Wei, who used to trail after them like a puppy, now owned two modestly sized barbershops in Sha City.

He’d been through one divorce and remarried—this time to the receptionist from his own shop.
