Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

The next day, they became everyone\'s beloved superstar goddesses.

There were also those who had been famous for years, thinking themselves invincible, but fell from grace in an instant for offending the wrong people.

Many established actresses, who were wives themselves, would find various on-set husbands.

Feeling overjoyed to find two husbands with just one film.

Of course, there were more of those who thought they had some looks and tried to sleep their way to success, the "Little Fairies."

And Chen Pingsheng, who was already at the top of the entertainment circle, was still humbly and pragmatically looking for every money-making opportunity.

He hadn\'t even bothered to visit the dozens of beauties from the artist training class.

The only time was when Bai Xin dragged Bai Lu to dinner with him.

Maybe it was because they both had the surname Bai.

Just over half a year had passed, and Tengying had internally decided to sign Bai Lu.

As for the others, those who needed to take their bag and go home could only do just that.

The officially signed Tengying artist Bai Lu became Tengying Entertainment\'s second female artist.

As promised previously, Tengying needed to tailor-make a drama with her as the lead actress, as an aid to launch her career.

Chen Pingsheng called Zhao Liying, asking her to pick a suitable drama, to be invested in by Tengying Investment, with Bai Lu as the protagonist.

This woman was previously a minor internet celebrity, and other than her laugh sounding a bit like a pig\'s squeal, everything else was fine.

It goes without saying that she\'s beautiful; being pretty is the primary requirement for playing the female lead in the entertainment industry.

"Bai Lu, born in \'94, you\'re twenty-one this year, right?"

"Yes, uncle," Bai Lu said with a beaming smile.

"Why are you also calling me uncle?" Chen Pingsheng felt a bit odd.

"Sister Bai Xin said it sounds more affectionate to call you uncle."

"Alright then."

He was still indifferent, "Starting today, you are officially the second artist signed with Tengying Entertainment. To show my importance as the boss, Bai Xin, go pick out a two-million-worth car for her, the cost will be deducted from your salary."

"What?" Bai Xin looked confused, "Why should it be deducted from my salary?"

"You\'re so close to her, if not from you, do you expect it to come from me, the boss?"

Chen Pingsheng tapped her lightly, "Alright, don\'t be stingy. We only have two artists in Tengying, are you afraid she won\'t be able to pay you back?"

"Oh…" Bai Xin took her to get the car, a Tengying artist had to have some presence.

After they came back, Jiang Yilei had already received the task notification, arranging for the newly signed Bai artist to appear on several minor trending searches first.

It was also an official announcement to the entertainment circle that their family had one more female artist.

As for Bai Lu\'s schedule, it was directly placed in Zhao Liying\'s studio, for her to arrange Bai Lu\'s journey to fame.

The money Bai Lu earns in the future would also be split with Zhao Liying, a seventy-thirty split, with her keeping seventy and her mentor Zhao Liying taking thirty.

A stake in the profits makes it easier to nurture newcomers.

As for Chen Pingsheng himself, he was still only concerned with the overall direction of investment.

How to become a star, he didn\'t bother with that at all.

Bai Xin bought Bai Lu a Maserati Quattroporte.

When they returned, Chen Pingsheng arranged for finance to deposit the money into her account.

It was just a joke after all, you can\'t really make your secretary lose money.

There wasn\'t much happening in Tengying, so Chen Pingsheng had spent some time studying milk tea shops recently.

He found out that, much as Tong Zelan had said, it was still an expanding market with a lot of potential and high profit margins.

The main consumer group was young girls.

A successful milk tea shop could easily make several hundred thousand in a year.

And the milk tea business, unlike Fei Yangyang, didn\'t all require direct operation; its expansion mostly relied on franchising.

Undoubtedly, franchising certainly grows faster than direct management.

Chen Pingsheng was quite interested, mainly because he had some free time these days.

I just wanted to try out the milk tea business that young girls like to spend money on.

There aren\'t many brands that have reached the national market yet.

Shu Yi Milk Tea, Chabai Dao, and Gu Ming are among the top players.

I don\'t understand the technology behind milk tea either; if I want to invest in this industry, the most important thing is to first find someone who is passionate and reliable about milk tea.

I\'ve never engaged in a franchise business before.

Moreover, this industry requires fruit as ingredients, and don\'t I have a Tengsheng fruit business of my own?

I have a natural advantage in cost control.

Key to Tong Zelan\'s consideration is that I own an entertainment company, and the future milk tea business might just be a fight for traffic.

Chen Pingsheng, who owns an entertainment company, will undoubtedly be one of the top contenders.

It\'s not the amount of investment that\'s scary, it\'s not making money that is frightening.

Chen Pingsheng called Bai Xin and asked her where she usually likes to go for milk tea.

Bai Xin felt it was inexplicable; the uncle usually didn\'t drink these things.

Why is he suddenly asking her about milk tea now?

Bai Xin recommended a place where the business was very good despite the small shop, and there\'s even a queue every day.

Chen Pingsheng decided to check it out when he had time, but he couldn\'t go there as the CEO.

What he\'s looking for is an investment partner; having skill alone isn\'t enough without character.

"Uncle, you can order me to buy milk tea for you!"

"Forget it, you\'re the little secretary just below one and above tens of others, it\'s not appropriate to ask you to do these things."

Bai Xin\'s face blushed: "Except for not being able to climb mountains or go through seas of fire, taking a knife to the chest or a sword to the back for uncle, I\'m ready to do anything without hesitation."

"Give me a break, when did you become so slick with words."

Chen Pingsheng asked her, "Don\'t you own a house in Capital City too? How come you\'ve not invited me over for dinner?"

"Uncle, with the small house I bought, I\'m too embarrassed to invite you over."

"No matter how small, it\'s still a home."

Chen Pingsheng indeed had a task for her: "Being able to settle down and fully pay for a place in Capital City at your age, you\'ve already surpassed most young people."

"Go and buy me a good bicycle, and then report the expense to finance for reimbursement."

"OK."

Bai Xin didn\'t know why he wanted a bicycle, but she still ran the errand quickly.

On the way, she ran into the innocent Jiang Peiyao and decisively pulled her along.

Since the uncle said to buy a good one, she was certainly going to fully understand her boss\'s intentions.

She deliberately searched Baidu for the most expensive bicycle.

Expensive just means pricey.

The boss\'s intent must be fully understood hundred percent, she secretly praised herself for truly having secretarial talent.

However, after she finished searching, she was stunned.

Two wheels and a small steering wheel, and the highest-priced ones cost more than two hundred thousand!

She didn\'t know that bicycles could be so expensive.

She wasn\'t like the uncle—she decisively purchased one, knowing that she could get reimbursed by finance later.

When she wheeled the bicycle into the CEO\'s office, Chen Pingsheng asked her, "How much did you pay for it?"

"Two hundred and ten thousand."

"Fine," said Chen Pingsheng, as he called the finance department to come for the reimbursement and meanwhile to deduct five hundred yuan from her salary.

Bai Xin was confused: "Uncle, why are you deducting money from me?"

"No reason, just feel like you should be docked some money."

Hadn\'t she realized? Buying a bicycle was meant to be a bit more low-key.

A two hundred and ten thousand yuan bicycle, how could that be low-key at all?

The five hundred wasn\'t much, but Bai Xin, that silly girl, even went home to reread \'The Secretarial Self-Cultivation\' several times.

After reading it, she still didn\'t understand where she had gone wrong. The daily life of a worker is just like that.
