Chapter 987 - 736: Three Years Abroad

The overseas airport was crowded with people there to greet them!

The entire Chen Pingsheng family had arrived, and he had numerous friends in the area, not to mention the Seven Chief, most of whom were overseas.

Even the Tengying Global Economic Research Institute and Tenghui Capital were based here.

Interestingly enough, most of the top tycoons from home were residing abroad.

Chen Pingsheng had earlier purchased a super ocean-view villa, covering an area of over five thousand square meters, for six hundred million US Dollars in an extremely scenic location.

The coastal view was simply breathtaking.

Beyond that, he also set up a super yacht, sea scooters, and ships by the seaside.

The family traveled to their villa using five Rolls-Royces.

There were no less than thirty bodyguards with firearms around them for security.

Living leisurely and retired here was quite enjoyable.

An'an was nearly eight months pregnant, with at most two months left until delivery.

A top-tier medical team, along with three helicopters, was on standby here at all times.

After hosting a party at his home, Chen Pingsheng bid farewell to his friends, as the family planned to stay there for the next three years.

Chen Lu had to complete three years of high school, and Er Piya needed to finish her three years of university.

An'an focused entirely on preparing for childbirth, and after her child was born, she still planned to stay there for another year.

For families like theirs, home was everywhere, with no need to be fixed in one place.

Five years ago, An'an had already desired her own island, filled with things she adored.

Three years ago, Chen Pingsheng spent a full sixty-five billion US Dollars to fulfill her wish.

He bought her a super island and named it Ann Island.

The extent of his wealth now was unimaginable; no matter how it was spent, the money would never run out.

There's a delight abroad that can't be found domestically.

That's hunting, shooting with guns.

On Ann Island, they specially built a huge hunting park, which housed many wild animals that weren't too dangerous.

Er Piya absolutely loved it, pestering her dad to take her hunting from dawn to dusk.

Overseas, guns could be played with freely, as long as they didn't harm people.

Er Piya started playing with them early on, just not as fully armed as now, chasing after small animals on their own island.

When displeased, she'd fire off a burst of bullets.

Chen Lu enjoyed this as well; after all, what man doesn't like guns?

The only regret was An'an couldn't participate now.

During the two-month summer break, Chen Pingsheng took Er Ya and Little Third Chen Lu hunting and fishing at sea every day.

Additionally, they took helicopter rides to go mountain climbing and skiing.

After retirement, his lifestyle restored him to the ranks of the super-rich, spending his days enjoying time with his kids.

By the end of August, An'an officially gave birth to a son, named Sun Sile.

May joy follow him throughout his life.

This was Chen Pingsheng's first time becoming a grandfather, and his joy was immense.

After An'an completed her postpartum confinement, Er Ya and Chen Lu had already gone back to school.

They, along with Tong Zelan and Shen Nanpeng, formed an adventure club for the wealthy.

Normally, they engaged in hunting, mountain climbing, skiing, and various sports.

An'an enthusiastically made up for the fun she missed during those months.

A year later, Sun Sile's first birthday banquet was also held abroad.

Their family had been overseas for a year and three months by then.

Sun Sile called out to his grandpa for the first time at one year and one month old.

He also started walking at one year old.

Time flowed quickly, with two years passing in the blink of an eye.

In three years, Chen Pingsheng mastered sea skateboarding, skiing, and had climbed countless world-class mountains.

Meanwhile, Chen Lu had grown from 1.6 meters to 1.75 meters tall.

The small traces of youth on his face also completely faded; he had grown up.

As for Er Yatou, she wasn't in any rush to return after graduating college.

She still wanted to linger overseas for another two years.

Time truly flows like water, fleeting in the blink of an eye.

It was uncertain when it started, but he had already grown old; Chen Pingsheng was fifty this year, and his wife was already forty-five.

Even the best maintenance couldn't erase the marks of time.

Over these three years, many things had indeed changed, such as Chen Lu, who had always resisted and disliked interactions with Shen Xi, now considering her as his only female friend in this overseas world.

And he still remembered his promise from three years ago.

After dinner, he set down his chopsticks and asked, "Dad, shouldn't we go back now?"

"Yes, it's time to go back. Are you wondering how Su Xiaoxi is doing?"

Throughout these three years, Song Yanxi had consistently forbade him from contacting Su Xiaoxi, yet this foolish boy was like a pure-hearted love god, impossible to restrain.

It's just that he probably didn't realize yet that he already had some affection for the young girl Shen Xi.

Shen Xi often came to their house for meals, and her parents didn't accompany her overseas, so the Chen family took care of everything for her here.

All because Song Yanxi liked her and intentionally brought her overseas to attend the same high school as her son.

"How is Xiaoxi?"

"She's doing well, working part-time to support herself and got accepted into the best university in Shenzhen."

"Can I attend the same university as her?"

"Yes."

This was a promise made three years ago so that Chen Lu would come overseas; Chen Pingsheng had told him that as long as he studied well for three years abroad,

he could attend the same university as Su Xiaoxi during his college years.

"Uncle Chen, should I also attend that university?" Shen Xi asked softly.

She was always this cautious, not at all like how one would expect a daughter from a prestigious family to behave.

It's worth noting that the Shen family was a famous and notable family back home.

"You can choose for yourself!"

"Can I... choose another university?"

Over the three years, she had developed her own feelings for Chen Lu. However, due to these three years of being close, she was a bit worn out and wanted a change of lifestyle.

"Sure."

Chen Pingsheng didn't refuse her request; if it weren't for his wife, Shen Xi wouldn't need to be so cautious.

Nor would she need to be like an accessory, always accompanying Chen Lu.

She should have her own life, her own happy times.

Chen Lu found himself inexplicably disappointed, perhaps because he had grown accustomed to Shen Xi's constant companionship.

He felt a sense of reluctance, but at the thought of Su Xiaoxi waiting for him back home, he pushed that reluctance aside completely.

The three years spent overseas had indeed changed many things.

For instance, Chen Pingsheng, who always claimed to be retired, took on a dean position at the Economic Research Institute.

Moreover, Tengfei AI Phone independently completed its listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, achieving a market valuation of over 160 billion US Dollars.

The profits might not match those of Apple, but its global sales were almost comparable to Samsung's.

Despite three years of effort, An'an still couldn't attain an executive president position within Tengfei AI Phone.

The reason was simple: she was too young and not qualified enough.

A technology giant group requires leadership by technically skilled individuals to go far and endure.

Even though Tengfei AI Phone went public, An'an's personal net worth exceeded one trillion.

She owned a host of traditional giant groups under her name.

As for Er Piya, she didn't inherit the family group, but she managed to create a multitude of investment funds abroad herself.

Her natural talent for numbers was extraordinarily high, but she couldn't manage traditional enterprises well due to her excessively lively personality.

However, she was the most gifted and successful investor in the family.

Little Third Chen Lu was different; both his mother, Song Yanxi, and Chen Pingsheng hoped he would inherit the family's technology groups, and he had been groomed in that direction all along.

At present, there was still a long way to go.

His sister An'an was already considered highly capable, yet over three years later, she still couldn't fully take over Tengfei AI Phone.

She could only receive her annual dividends from there.

Evidently, gaining recognition in the tech field wasn't an easy task.

The high-level positions there had to be filled by core technical personnel recommended by the board, alongside agreement from the Economic Research Institute.

Moreover, the president position rotated every three years.

All An'an had was a board seat without executive power.

Tengfei AI Phone had over a hundred thousand R&D talents worldwide.

Not to mention all those R&D bases and employees.

For a group with a market value of over a trillion, one couldn't simply inherit the executive president role by bloodline.

A joint election by all was essential.

Without a doubt, An'an still couldn't attain executive authority there.

She only had a bit of advisory power.

The real person who held the reins of this group was still her father.
