Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled
Chapter 982 - 732: Engagement Banquet

"Dad, thank you."

An'an shed a couple of tiny tears; no matter how small a child is, they will eventually grow up one day.

No matter how grown a daughter is, unless there's an accident, she will eventually get married one day.

Without a doubt, January 1, 2030, was the most important day in Chen An'an's life.

On this day, she also officially embraced the most significant event of her life: marriage.

After the engagement ceremony, the couple would register for a marriage certificate, and the wedding afterward was simply a larger sense of ceremony.

After the engagement ceremony, Chen Pingsheng stayed in Magic City for over a week.

During his stay, he hosted many friends from the business and political worlds, but no matter who asked him, he appeared entirely retired.

He wouldn't care much about the company's matters and even less about political affairs.

Many entrepreneurs, once they've reached a certain level of wealth, like to extend their influence into policy-making.

Little do they know, it's completely a path of no return.

Regardless, Chen Pingsheng adhered to two core principles: not picking sides, not meddling in politics.

On January 8, he left Magic City for Greater Guangdong.

An'an's pregnancy wasn't far along, yet she continued to work every day.

Having just taken over Tengfei AI Phone, her personal reputation had soared to unprecedented levels.

However, An'an no longer liked to be in the news, as she did when she was younger.

In families like theirs, they usually stay away from entertainment news as they grow up.

For someone from their family, frequent appearances in the entertainment circle are absolutely unacceptable.

When he returned to his driver position, Su Zi remarked, "Master Chen, that young lady's engagement in Magic City must have been particularly lively, right?"

"It was alright."

Su Zi shook her head and laughed, "Master Chen is as calm and composed as ever. I heard from my father that the engagement ceremony of that young lady drew at least half of the country's top billionaires, along with dozens of prominent figures from Capital City and a gathering of world-renowned personalities from overseas.

"Everyone says her father spent billions on this engagement ceremony and personally handed over a phone brand valued at six hundred billion, ranking third in the world, during the banquet. The splendor of the event was such that Magic City was adorned with red decorations for thousands of miles, all billboards, streetlights, and The Bund building celebrated for seven days. Furthermore, a hundred billion charity fund was announced at the banquet to bless the child in An'an's belly. Such a scene is unimaginable even for someone like me.

"Yet Master Chen merely described it as alright, leading me to believe you are indeed that young lady's father, the mysterious boss from Dream Fund who has been missing for five years..."

Su Zi was very clever; she had long suspected but dared not confirm or directly inquire.

She occasionally tested the waters, finding the situation utterly absurd.

Absurdity personified by absurdity's mother opening the door; she couldn't imagine such absurdity.

That big boss coming to drive for her?

"Mr. Su, whether or not I'm that young lady's father, right now I'm just a regular driver, aren't I?"

Su Zi's expression in that moment was truly remarkable.

A bewildering swirl of colors, she found it utterly unbelievable.

These words indirectly confirmed it wasn't about having the same name, it was the same person.

Because in this world, no one would dare pose as that young lady's father publicly.

It's no joke; it's a lifetime of having no prospects.

Forget about working at any company.

With their status, it would be too easy to shut down several companies.

It would be equally effortless to promote two companies.

Simply because An'an said, "My father thinks you're decent!"

Su Zi's father was now immensely happy, boasting about his daughter to everyone.

Su Zi's personal wealth saw an extreme surge.

In a short time, her personal wealth soared to over four billion.

The over four billion was solely due to her investments in those projects.

An'an's single sentence triggered the surge.

This is the boundless energy of that young lady.

Her world was never accessible to ordinary second generations like them.

"Chen..." Su Zi pondered changing how she addressed him but couldn't think of a more fitting title.

Chen Pingsheng reminded her with a smile, "Mr. Su, continue calling me Master Chen. I quite like the title. Right now, I'm truly not some big boss, just a somewhat idle middle-aged employee back on duty."

"Master Chen, previously An'an told me her father praised me, saying I was decent. I always wondered why An'an's father would give me such an evaluation and how fortunate I was to receive it. Today, with your personal admission, I now realize how lucky I am."

"To succeed, people must have some opportunity on their side."

Chen Pingsheng said, "Actually, when you were in Dream Fund, Chu Qiuyan asked me for my opinion, and my response was to not overthink it. In fact, I didn't help you much.

This time, on the way to the company, Su Zi was exceptionally talkative and animated.

She had many things she wanted to ask Chen Pingsheng but was extremely cautious about the questions she wanted to ask.

As Chen Pingsheng himself said, he was now just a retired person.

Political affairs, he wouldn't speak of.

The entertainment circle matters, he could serve as a reasonably good bystander.

At this level, any mention of political affairs wouldn't be idle chit-chat.

It could genuinely influence the direction of certain aspects to a certain extent.

Since he didn't involve himself in politics, he couldn't casually speak of it.

There's a significant difference compared to ordinary people.

With their status, some things cannot be spoken carelessly.

Su Zi asked him again, "Master Chen, don't you think my approach to that project is overly reckless and arrogant?"

"Not at all. I think it's fantastic. You've just chosen a strong opponent, and no one dares to invest in you."

Chen Pingsheng shared some thoughts earnestly with her, "When I was young, I didn't have your kind of drive. Every decision was made cautiously, ensuring at least a sixty percent chance of success before proceeding. When I later staked most of my funds to enter the technology industry, I maintained this caution.

"Caution is a good thing, but it's also hard to develop a truly groundbreaking, world-changing tech giant. Right now, I hope my company produces a few leaders like you who dare to stake everything to explore unknown technological fields."

Both Tengying and Tengfei Technology Group are sufficiently strong now.

Even a titan of their caliber dares not gamble or push for more.

Then how can we expect small enterprises to build a technology powerhouse?

A titan shouldn't just create commercial barriers; it should press onward undaunted.

This advancement shouldn't strike downward but rather apply upward force.

One must admit... Chen Pingsheng's personality remains exceedingly conservative.

No matter how inspiring or bold outsiders find his entrepreneurial endeavors.

He knows that each move rested on a foundation of at least a sixty percent chance of success.

When traditional sectors were thriving, he fiercely pursued tradition.

Once the new energy trend exploded, despite being clueless, he risked billions to enter the fray.

To ensure foolproof success, he invested hundreds of billions in Tesla, still in its low period.

When the AI era boomed, he invested another trillion in NVIDIA.

Everything was rooted in his own conservative nature.

Now, to surpass world-class giants like Apple, Google, NVIDIA.

It requires leaders with true technical knowledge, not his conservative nature.

This is the key reason he must retire.

Of course, despite knowing this, he wouldn't tell An'an to go for it, take a big leap, and see the outcome.

The future is no longer under his control.
