After the Grand Event

Shui Yun Jian.

After three crazy days of intensive breast care treatments, things were bound to get busier from here on.

Chen Pingsheng specially gathered this group of women for a motivational meeting.

His eloquence wasn't great, but that didn't matter—so long as he handed out enough money, everyone would be calling him "Handsome Boss" with admiration.

"Ladies, our Shui Yun Jian has been open for a while now. I once said that, given the chance, I'd let you all meet celebrities. Now, how about that? I wasn't bluffing, was I?"

"No, Boss! You're all-powerful, invincible, and destined to unify the Central Plains!"

From the crowd, an overly dramatic voice rang out.

Chen Pingsheng immediately pulled her out. "Who was that? You've been watching too much 'Legend of the Constellations.' Don't think just because you're my little sister, I'll be handing you a red envelope."

Chen Qi giggled mischievously.

Ignoring her, Chen Pingsheng continued, "Beauty and skincare have always been my wife's passion. As a man, I don't know much about it. But supporting my wife's career? That's my responsibility. Besides, I didn't gather you here for a meeting today. In these three days, we made over 30 million. So there's only one thing to do—distribute bonuses!"

"Shareholders will get dividends. Non-shareholders will receive bonuses ranging from ten to fifty thousand."

There were a total of eighteen beauticians. Just this bonus payout alone added up to around 400,000.

Their boss was truly generous.

"Also, I have another announcement. Given our success this time, I've decided to invest another 50 million into opening five to ten more Shui Yun Jian branches in the capital this year."

"If any of you have relatives who want to be apprentices, or if you know any of your former outstanding colleagues, feel free to bring them in."

"As your boss, I guarantee one thing."

"Here, you'll earn the highest salaries in the industry, live in the best employee housing in the capital, have housekeepers taking care of your needs at home, and eat five-star meals at work."

"Shui Yun Jian was born to redefine the highest industry standards. One day, you will be proud to say you work here."

Since fruits were no longer an option, beauty treatments were the way forward.

If he didn't completely dominate the industry, he wouldn't be Chen Pingsheng.

The beauticians were beyond excited. Their boss had never once deceived them.

Even when business was slow, they still had the best food and accommodations.

Now that business was booming, there was no need to say more—bonuses were handed out in the tens of thousands, and their dormitories even had dedicated housekeepers.

Tell me, what other boss could offer this?

When it came to opening new branches, these beauticians did their best to recruit old friends and colleagues.

And each invitation was a success.

After all, Shui Yun Jian's benefits crushed the competition.

Even the lowest-paid staff made at least 10,000 to 20,000. Where else could you find that?

Investing another 50 million to open new branches was a decision that needed to be discussed with his wife and management team.

But Chen Pingsheng didn't bother with the details. He simply transferred the entire 50 million to Song Yanxi.

He told her it was profit from directing The Legend of Lu Zhen and instructed her to start opening new stores immediately.

Any location costing less than 8 million wasn't worthy of the Shui Yun Jian name.

Song Yanxi happily accepted the money. If they included the branch they had already opened, it was entirely possible to hit their goal of ten locations in the capital this year.

This wasn't some fruit market—it was an ultra-luxurious, high-end beauty club with obscene profit margins.

The couple worked well together. Song Yanxi focused on the beauty industry, while Chen Pingsheng handled Tengying Entertainment.

Meanwhile, Gao Hu was losing his mind.

When he heard that Chen Pingsheng had invited Yang Mi to Shui Yun Jian, his eyes turned red with jealousy.

That was his dream girl!

He even had a giant poster of her on his nightstand!

Never in his wildest dreams did he think this bastard could just invite Yang Mi over for a breast care treatment!

If this was happening, then shouldn't he become a beautician too?

Chen Pingsheng kicked him away. "Get lost! You think I invited Yang Mi just for her looks?"

"Old Chen," Gao Hu said with admiration, "I heard from Xiao Qi that bringing in Yang Mi made you over 30 million and shattered the industry's ceiling. How the hell does your brain work? Teach me!"

Gao Hu was filled with envy.

Chen Pingsheng smirked. "Stop daydreaming. If you do things right, Fei Yang Yang will make just as much. With Tengying Entertainment backing it, do you really think there won't be a steady stream of celebrities coming to dine at Fei Yang Yang?"

"As I always say—stick with me, and money will rain from the sky."

"Damn…" Gao Hu cursed. "You really opened my eyes, man. But I have to admit, you're not just raking in cash—you actually pay your employees well. I respect that."

He had already looked into it.

Whether it was Zhang Tao or Liu Jing, none of them resented how much money Chen Pingsheng was making.

Not even the employees.

Because when the boss got richer, he didn't hoard the wealth or donate it to some fake charity—he actually paid them more.

That was all that mattered.

As long as the money was shared, they had no complaints.

Fei Yang Yang was still in its early stages, but Shui Yun Jian had already been perfected.

With over 100 million in hand, after giving his wife 50 million, there weren't many big expenses left.

So why not invest more in entertainment?

With his analysis function, making money in this industry was as easy as robbing a fool. No skill required.

Tengying Entertainment was already preparing to film The Journey of Flower. He left everything—scriptwriting, casting—to Yang Jiancheng.

November flew by.

It seemed like everyone around him had found their own goals to strive for.

Each person was so busy their feet barely touched the ground.

Even that slacker Chen Anan, under Bai Xin's excellent guidance, finally found her passion in life.

Her dream? To taste every dish in the world and become a carefree gourmet.

Chen Anan worked hard toward her goal.

She used to eat five meals a day—now she ate eight.

And after every meal, she could even stand there, hands behind her back, and seriously analyze the flavors for you.

That was some god-tier talent.

Chen Pingsheng didn't intervene or comment.

A bigger dream?

At this stage, he really didn't expect too much from his child.

As long as she grew up happy and lived a joyful life, that was enough.

Whatever Chen Anan wanted to do, he'd let her.

Back when the family had no money, she spent her days alone in a tiny rental apartment, waiting.

Whenever someone knocked on the door, she'd run over immediately, hoping it was her father.

And when it wasn't, a trace of disappointment would flash across her little face.

Then she'd quietly sit back down.

Waiting.

Until night fell, and her parents finally returned.

Only then would her face light up with joy.

Now, with their improved circumstances, she no longer had to be alone.

Her grandmother, her aunt—everyone around her tried their best to love her.

Not just them, but everyone in their circle.

It was as if she had suddenly become everyone's beloved little princess.

And in the process, she lost herself a little.

But Chen Pingsheng thought—better to lose yourself early than too late.
