Chapter 132: Chapter 118: Fooled into Limping

Chen Pingsheng drove to meet his wife for dinner.

The situation at the Water Cloud Space Academy headquarters was quite special.

Because the beauty therapists being trained had to either be topless or bare bottomed during the practice of their techniques.

It was very inconvenient for men to be inside.

Therefore, it was explicitly forbidden for men to enter the academy.

Even the security guards at the gate were all women.

From the cafeteria to the cleaning ladies, everyone inside was uniformly female.

In the later stages, nearly a thousand high school graduates were expected to come here to study, so the management was quite strict.

The simplest rule was, if you date during the study period, you pack your bags and go home.

Parents were entrusting their barely mature daughters to the academy, certainly not for them to engage in romance.

He didn’t set rules based on the standards of training school students.

Instead, he established regulations based on the standards for training corporate interns, which were completely different.

Students could be a bit freer, while interns received a monthly salary of three thousand during their study period.

Teachers were also paid handsomely, and they certainly weren’t there to pursue romance.

Besides, at the age of less than eighteen, engaging in a romantic relationship was simply irresponsible towards one’s own life.

In Guangdong, quite a few local families that are in good condition require a check before marriage.

If it’s found that an abortion has occurred, even turning into a fairy won’t save you.

Some are even stricter, sending you straight home if it’s your first time.

Such families don’t lack good daughters-in-law at all.

So, if a woman wants to marry well in the future, her adolescence must not be messed with.

Song Yanxi worked in there every day, and truth be told, Water Cloud Space was indeed very profitable.

The profit of each store was at least two to three million a month, with the higher ones reaching five or six million.

Unfortunately, his Golden Finger couldn’t calculate such profits.

It could only account for large income received on a single day; otherwise, it would be possible to shake it every day.

Imagine how awesome that would be.

But that didn’t matter, for everything would come back with a Splendid Night event at year’s end.

The five Water Cloud Space salons that were open now could bring in over ten million in net income for his family each month.

Which was also very enticing.

Song Yanxi’s LaFerrari was parked at the exclusive spot at the school gate, next to her sister’s Porsche 911, as well as several teachers’ Mercedes-Benz and BMWs.

July was still the hot season, if one wasn’t sitting in an air-conditioned car, it was easy to be drenched in sweat just standing around.

Song Yanxi was wearing an enchanting blue fitted shirt, which looked quite nice.

“Why did you come here?”

“Mommy,” Chen An’an jumped out of the car, still holding onto a new bag she had just bought, giggling foolishly.

Song Yanxi glanced at it but didn’t ask what the deal was.

“We came to take you out to eat. We just finished shopping at Sanlitun and are planning to take her to hike Baicaopan in the afternoon.”

“You have so much free time today?”

“No matter how busy, one must spend more time with the children.”

Outside the school, there used to be quite a few shops, but they could no longer survive after the school closed and the students left.

Chen Pingsheng glanced over and said, “Turning this area into a snack street might be a good idea.”

Song Yanxi shook her head, “Forget it. Rather than going through all that trouble, it would be better to let your elder sister open a small supermarket inside.”

Opening a small supermarket inside the school could earn several hundred thousand a year quite easily.

They no longer needed to earn that kind of money, but it would be not bad for his elder sister.

“That’s also an option. Call your elder sister and have her come over. Her husband can handle the Shijingshan store by himself. Men are still not allowed inside here.”

Song Yanxi nodded. With more than a month left before the school year started, opening a small supermarket could be convenient for both his elder sister to make money and the interns inside.

The family found a restaurant nearby that served old Capital City mutton hot pot.

Originally, Song Yanxi wanted to accompany them for the mountain hike in the afternoon, but unfortunately, she was busy and couldn’t get away.

I have a few meetings to attend this afternoon.

So, Chen Pingsheng could only take the two little ones and Chen Qi to go hiking by himself.

His sister was just helping out at Water Cloud Space, wherever they needed her she would go.

Usually, there wasn’t much to do.

“Brother, now that sister-in-law can manage things here, you must be feeling much more relaxed, right?”

“Relaxed? I still need to make money just the same.”

Chen Pingsheng saw she was wearing a sport outfit and curiously asked, “You’re not so young anymore, have you found any suitable prospects lately?”

“Brother, why do you even care about such things?”

“You’re financially independent at such a young age. If I don’t take some interest in your lifelong matters, I’m afraid you’ll be deceived.”

Chen Qi truly had achieved financial independence, with a 25% stake in the Shijingshan store she was making over ten million a year, steady and secure.

She had paid in full for three houses, one of which was even in the second ring.

With such conditions, she was definitely considered a little rich lady.

If someone came looking for her without aiming to work hard, it wouldn’t mean skipping ten years of struggle, but rather avoiding it entirely.

“Brother, I don’t really meet any men around here, even if I wanted to find someone it would be difficult.”

“How about I introduce someone to you then?”

“Better not.”

Chen Qi refused without hesitation, “You’ve already solved my money-making problem; if I rely on you to solve my marriage issues too, I would feel so useless.”

Chen Pingsheng actually knew quite a few talented young people.

Those from the entertainment circle were definitely out of the question, that world was too messy, and most marriages there involved each doing their own thing.

The husband finds a mistress, the wife finds a young lover or an investor.

It’s just too common.

“Then you need to keep your eyes peeled and make sure no one cheats you.”

“I’m not that foolish.”

Chen Qi happily took Chen An’an off to race at climbing the mountain.

Chen An’an even said it wouldn’t be fair unless her aunt played with one leg tied.

Chen Qi wasn’t about to indulge her; the little chubby girl was huffing and puffing after just a few steps.

Clearly, she was lacking in exercise.

“An’an, why don’t you sign up for a martial arts class? That way, when you grow up, you can fulfill your dream of becoming a female knight.”

Chen An’an’s eyes lit up, “Auntie, that actually sounds pretty good.”

“Definitely, our An’an just needs to study martial arts for a year, then fighting a few strong men will be like playing with chicks.”

Chen An’an’s little eyes were sparkling.

Clearly, she had been thoroughly charmed.

Chen Qi obviously thought she was too heavy and lacking in exercise.

Being a bit plump at a young age is manageable, but if she still were this heavy when she grew up,

then her dad would have to prepare a larger dowry for her.

“Auntie, can I really become a Peerless Master after studying for a year?”

“Definitely, as long as our An’an is willing to put in the effort, whatever she learns will outshine others.”

Chen An’an laughed heartily, as if she were already imagining her life as a Peerless Master a year from now.

Chen Pingsheng also thought learning some martial arts would be good for her.

It was rare for her to have such self-awareness, and there were actually quite a few kids learning martial arts from a young age.

The main options were Taekwondo and Chinese martial arts.

Chen Pingsheng signed her up for a Chinese martial arts class that was available during the summer break, as well as on Saturdays and Sundays.

The main focus now was the summer class.

Chen An’an, with her dream of becoming a female knight, was eager and excited when she first stepped in, but when the teacher really started the lessons,

she was actually studying earnestly. This was somewhat unexpected.

He thought the tuition fee would go to waste again.
