Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

Song Yanxi had changed many of her daily habits ever since she attended a gathering of wealthy wives in Xiangjiang.

For example, they used to like cooking at home.

Otherwise, it would be the job of Liu Fen and Peng Ying, the two elderly ladies.

Now things were different, they had a Michelin three-star chef at home, specifically in charge of Western cuisine.

They even hired a royal chef, responsible for the Chinese dishes.

Before meals every day, they themselves would go and choose dishes from a selection, and Chen An'an quite liked this way.

Today, she ordered a Kobe beef steak.

This kind of cattle was raised on oats and beer from a young age, which made it very expensive.

If you were to eat out, only the top Western restaurants would serve it.

Besides, she also ordered a famous French chicken.

Called Bresse Chicken.

This type of chicken is raised in the Bresse region in eastern France.

Each chicken has its own identification, and the feed it consumes is strictly selected; they are raised for a minimum of five months before they meet the slaughtering criteria.

The cooked Bresse Chicken is fat and tender, juicy, and delicately flavored, a culinary favorite chased by many high society ladies.

Chen An'an loved eating it, and their home dining table was also made of that top-grade marble.

It was of the highest quality.

Erya, with a small cloth pouch around her, watched her older sister enjoying those delicious foods, and she wanted some too.

In a milky voice, she asked, "Sister, what are you eating?"

"Chicken, it's really tasty, do you want a couple of pieces?"

Little Fatty froze for two seconds, then suddenly tears streamed down her face with a loud "waaah."

"Mommy, sister is eating chicken."

Little Fatty loved playing with chickens; in her eyes, chickens were her dear friends.

She never ate chickens.

Hearing that her sister was eating her dear friend made her cry loudly.

Song Yanxi gave Chen An'an a reproachful look, "You too, eat on your own, why mention it in front of your little sister!"

"Oops… my mistake, this is a little duck."

Chen An'an handed her sister a couple of pieces, and upon hearing it wasn't chicken, Little Chubby Girl sniffled a few times then stared at the chicken meat in the bowl for a good seven or eight seconds.

Then she picked it up with her chubby little hands and ate it.

Smacking her lips happily, the flavor was truly delicious.

"Sister, I want more."

"If you want more, go choose it yourself in the afternoon."

Chen An'an wouldn't give her any, and Little Fatty was about to cry again, but giving her a piece of steak fixed everything.

You'd have to know, such a steak costs over ten thousand per half kilogram.

After being cooked by a top chef, the flavor was indeed very delicious.

Stuffing her little sister's mouth surely wouldn't be an issue, she was going to drink milk later anyway.

Their life in Xiangjiang was nothing short of luxurious.

But for those wealthy wives, this was just the normal way of things, and Song Yanxi didn't think there was anything special about it.

It was all about eating well and drinking well.

Chen An'an ate her fill.

By the afternoon, she was ready to go out and play, while Little Chubby Girl watched her intently.

She absolutely wanted to stick to her tiny chubby legs.

Clearly, she wanted her sister to take her along to play.

For Chen An'an, one more or one less didn't matter, at her age she definitely lacked the patience to take care of her sister.

She could easily make you cry at the drop of a hat.

Despite this, Little Fatty still especially loved going out to play with her.

Chen An'an put on her sunglasses, and three cars rolled out as if they were off to patrol a feudal domain.

One for her to ride in, two as lead cars.

Little Chubby Girl asked her, "Sister, where are you taking me to play?"

Chen An'an had no precise plan herself, mainly because she was also not familiar with Xiangjiang.

After thinking it over, she decided to go out to sea for a live stream.

Somehow, every time they live streamed at sea, her fan count rose exceptionally fast.

And then soon after... her account did too.

Which shameless scoundrel was targeting her for reports, if she found out,

she'd surely spank them hard.

"Sister's taking you to catch a big shark," Chen An'an exaggeratedly laughed.

Little Fatty clapped her hands vigorously, nodding her head hard and saying yes, yes.

The two still followed Shen Youwei along, and her mother Song Yanxi also came along.

The days at sea were always cheerful, especially when the yacht was particularly big.

It was simply joy upon joy, endlessly enjoyable.

Anyway, her days in Xiangjiang were just so simple and unadorned.

As for Little Chubby Girl, she followed her around everywhere, the only pity being that she hadn't brought her Princess Chicken over.

Otherwise, that would undoubtedly have been very joyful.

...

Chen Pingsheng returned to his global headquarters.

The super Class A business building he bought for over ten billion had two hundred and eighty underground parking spaces.

During this period, the subsidiaries under the group had gradually moved over here.

Chang Fu brought over a hundred female livestreamers, thirty percent of whom had over a million fans.

There were also five who had over ten million fans.

The main purpose here was to create a brand for the Hong Kong and Macau special area, which was undoubtedly a great publicity stunt.

On the mainland side, there is still a lot of filtering for Xiangjiang, since everyone grew up watching movies from this place.

The second to fourth floors had been turned into his own livestreaming base.

It was also the Xiangjiang branch of Xin Teng Live Streaming.

Yang Qian brought Antler Coffee over as well, which was doing particularly well in the mainland, with over six thousand self-operated stores, including franchises.

That would be roughly twelve thousand stores.

Now they wanted to go international and explore the global market, the only way to further increase the market value of Antler Coffee.

Fei Yangyang, including Chu Qiuyan's Bobo Milk Tea, also came here to establish branches.

Their main goal was to tap into the Xiangjiang market.

The cost of setting up a shop in Xiangjiang is high, as is the consumption.

It couldn't possibly be priced the same as in the mainland.

After ten busy days, everyone finally settled their teams in Xiangjiang.

At least half of the twenty-eight-story building was still empty.

That didn't matter since it had already been bought.

Chen Pingsheng gathered Chang Fu and the others for a meeting to discuss the expansion in Xiangjiang and the idea of settling there.

Speaking of settling down, it was actually suggesting that they buy houses here.

"Old Chen, you can't compare us with you, with a price of five hundred thousand per square meter, what do we use to buy a house?"

Chang Fu was amazed by the housing prices here.

"It's not too bad."

Chen Pingsheng said, "After my wife attended two gatherings of wealthy wives, she simply moved to Baijia Dao, living quite comfortably in a villa on the mountain top that cost eighteen billion Hong Kong dollars and has over a thousand square meters."

This wasn't a boast, but simply stating a fact.

To say that Chang Fu couldn't afford a house in Xiangjiang was definitely nonsense.

Not to delve deeper, both he and his wife Yang Qian could easily come up with two to three billion.

"Eighteen billion, only you could say that so casually."

Chang Fu thought for a moment and said, "You don't plan on staying in Xiangjiang often in the future, do you?"

"That's very normal."

Chen Pingsheng said, "I have to attend a CEO class here for the next two years. Once An'an is a bit older, I want to bring her over for middle school."

"Ah!" Chang Fu sighed, "I guess we won't see you often in Magic City anymore."

Chang Fu discussed with his wife, and while they couldn't afford a mountaintop villa, buying a luxury home of over two hundred square meters was still no problem.

It's popular in Xiangjiang to talk about thousand square foot luxury homes, which are actually just over one hundred square meters.

As for Gao Hu and Chu Qiuyan, both had the means to settle down in Xiangjiang.

If Chen Pingsheng was preparing to stay in Xiangjiang regularly, it was naturally no problem for them.

Buying a thousand square foot luxury home each was definitely no issue.

If you talk about the prosperity of Xiangjiang, it is undoubtedly more bustling than any city on the mainland.

You can tell by its prices alone.

If you ask whether it has big temptations, those who like gambling might want to give it a try.

What's called "ten years of labor, one night of poverty"?

Many places have casinos.

There were once all sorts of popular gambling boats.

They came to Xiangjiang not to play, but to make money.

In the evening, Chen Pingsheng also took them to his home.

An eighteen-billion Hong Kong dollar sea-view villa wasn't better than Tan Palace, just differently located.

Of course, the external environment was definitely a bit better, since it was a sea-view villa after all.

Those living here were basically big tycoons.

Anyone whose net worth was below ten billion couldn't afford a mountaintop villa in Xiangjiang.

A gathering among friends went on quite late.

It was eleven o'clock at night when Chen Pingsheng had his driver take them to the Peninsula Hotel.

They would stay there first as they slowly looked for houses.

Like his business in Xiangjiang, everything was still in the initial stage.
