Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

September 1st, the spoiled brat officially started school.

First semester of eighth grade, she really put in some effort this time. On the first day of school, she even tied a red headband reading "I will work hard" with a sense of ceremony.

The first day of school was just the same old classmates, nothing special, but a few new students joined the class.

She even voluntarily went on stage to introduce herself, making herself known to everyone.

As for Er Piya, her enrollment scene was quite something, even though she went with her mom.

But still, she managed to call over half of the people from the three major companies to open the path for her.

She totally nailed the grandeur aspect.

Not only was the show grand, but she also wore a Dahongpao, oozing coolness.

Her younger brother was more grounded, as long as he saw Su Xiaoxi, others weren't important.

Finally, these three little ones from home started school, making everything else easier.

After Chen Pingsheng went to the group headquarters, since it was in the morning, Tang Jing was busy with other things, so he made himself a cup of hot water with some goji berries.

At exactly nine o'clock, Tang Jing came over to report the situation to him, mentioning that Tengying Group's second-quarter financial report was out.

Tengying Entertainment's second-quarter profit was 120 million, a drop of more than 60% compared to the same period last year.

Once this report was released, the stock price plummeted, and no one could stop it.

Besides Tengying Entertainment, Feiyangyang Catering Group had a second-quarter net loss of 98 million.

However, Snacks Dash managed to hold steady without much impact.

Antler Coffee's report was also below expectations; listed companies must release financial reports publicly.

It's both an explanation to shareholders and a demonstration of business capability to the capital market.

As expected, once the report was released, the stock price slid rapidly.

Not just this company; nine out of ten traditional fields missed expectations.

Under such circumstances, trying to stabilize the stock price was simply impossible, unexpectedly so.

Chen Pingsheng said, "I made a fortune at Tesla, but with my own company's stock prices, I'm losing terribly, only Teng You Media is standing out."

The second-quarter report for Teng You Media was indeed impressive, thanks to the listing of Clothes Warehouse No. 9.

The second-quarter net profit reached as high as over 9 billion, and the stock price soared.

"Boss, there's nothing we can do about it, this year few are stable in the traditional sector. If this continues for a few years, who knows how many companies will go under."

"That's true."

Chen Pingsheng sighed, "The trend is unstoppable. Now many people still want me to be the white knight and bail them out. If anyone sends me that kind of message again, just tell them I'm selling my own company, see if they want to take it."

Tang Jing knew he was joking and didn't take it seriously. Their company's cash flow was super abundant.

No crisis whatsoever, forget about enduring three years, even five or ten years wouldn't pose any issues.

Moreover, the company has clear standards. Whether it's layoffs or company closure, the group has to give full employee compensation.

This compensation is at least one year's salary. A company can't just collapse like that.

The founder can't just hop on a plane and escape abroad, ignoring everything.

Chen Pingsheng merely glanced at it, not too concerned.

Soon after, he received an unexpected call from his little sister, Chen Qi.

It was somewhat surprising and odd, making him want to check it out.

Her qipao shop was suddenly vandalized by someone.

Who would dare to smash his sister's shop in Magic City? Chen Pingsheng wanted to see which bold person did this.

Finally driving over to Nanjing Street, he didn't see any bold person, just a middle-aged hothead a bit drunk.

His sister opened a qipao shop here, which was doing well and affected a nearby long-established qipao shop.

The owner of that shop was also a beautiful lady who knew how to leverage her advantages.

While drinking, she deliberately confided her grievances to a bold person who wanted to sleep with her.

That bold person boasted heavily while drinking, claiming there's nobody in Magic City he couldn't handle.

After three glasses of white liquor, he instantly got fired up, called two little minions with a single call.

Left Green Dragon, Right White Tiger came with buzz cuts, ready to smash the shop.

His sister running this shop was just for fun, she didn't take it seriously nor was she there daily.

The shop only had a few salespeople, and the first thing the bold guy said when he walked in was.

Do you freaking know who I am?

Opened the shop without my approval?

Then immediately started smashing things, all captured clearly by surveillance cameras.

The qipao lady boss who instigated him probably didn't expect that he would be so bold to smash the shop without asking anything.

She performed a disappearing act on the spot, just shy of blocking this foolish bold guy.

And then Chen Qi sent him the store's video.

In this era, such tattooed guys still perform such low-level competition tactics.

Directly coming over to smash the shop.

The situation was clear, once he drove the red Bugatti over, the guy snapped out of half of his drunkenness.

Chen Pingsheng didn't come alone, he brought two cars of bodyguards.

What else could he do, he hadn't encountered such a bold guy in years, he just wanted to see something unusual.

To see whether this guy was as good as he claimed, or if the senior was better.

Turned out to be nothing, just a KTV boss who made some money in a small place.
