Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled-Chapter 886 - 668 Chen An’an Goes Out
A few days before the New Year, preparations for a cheerful Chinese New Year were in full swing at Jinshan Villa.
Yanxi even specially prepared two sets of new outfits for Chen Pingsheng—a black leather jacket worth over one million yuan and a globally limited edition Patek Philippe watch priced at 120 million yuan.
Although he had purchased quite a number of watches over the years, this was the first one exceeding 100 million yuan.
New Year calls for new clothes, and everything must match freshly.
The luxury clothing and goods exhibition hall on the third floor had also been fully restocked with new items.
Unlike her sister, Er Piya wasn’t interested in traveling elsewhere; she was perfectly comfortable staying in the Magic City.
The family enjoyed lively, bustling days together.
Chen An’an, however, was different. She planned a spontaneous New Year getaway with her middle school friends Xiao Wenwen and Hu Tao.
The days leading up to the New Year essentially belonged to the holiday season. It was the time when people traveled the most—workers returning home, rural parents heading to cities to spend time with their children.
After a year of hard work, this was the period everyone awaited, though it was also the most expensive for many.
Chen An’an traveled via private jet, having made prior arrangements for the flight path. She needed to land in Sichuan at a specific time slot.
The first stop of her trip was Shen Youwei’s hometown.
Sichuan had long been renowned as a place of extraordinary natural beauty and talent, often hailed by countless netizens as the "Land of Beauties."
When Chen An’an stepped off the plane on January 18th, it was just four days away from the New Year.
She wanted to follow the philosophy described in books: "Travel a thousand miles is better than reading ten thousand books."
In ancient times, travel might have meant riding horses.
Her version of travel, however, involved private jets, so "thousand miles" ought to be redefined as "thousand cities."
Sichuan was home to several of her family’s enterprises, the largest of which was Tengnong Breeding.
Second was a massive factory owned by Tengfei New Energy, alongside a few research centers.
The cold temperatures during the New Year further amplified the seasonal atmosphere.
As she stepped off the plane, An’an was brimming with joy, already resolving to dedicate substantial time every year to traveling the world.
"An’an, have we arrived in Chengdu?"
"That’s right, we’re here."
"I used to see so many videos of Chengdu Taikooli online, I never expected to visit here so soon."
Xiao Wenwen and Hu Tao were equally thrilled; the three of them had agreed to begin their Sichuan adventure with Chengdu Taikooli.
It was undoubtedly the most prosperous area in Sichuan.
Taikooli had gained immense popularity online in recent years, famously dubbed a street lined with luxury brands, offering everything from top-tier labels to trendy attire.
The area had also been sensationalized by countless influencers.
This was Chen An’an’s first time in Chengdu, and the people welcoming her were none other than Shen Youwei and Zhao Yingying.
Both had returned home for vacation and were delighted upon hearing the news that the young heiress planned to travel around their area before the New Year.
They had even prepared extensive itineraries and tips for her activities.
Shen Youwei, known for her low-key demeanor, drove nothing more than an Audi A6 around her hometown.
In contrast, Zhao Yingying cruised in a Porsche Panamera.
For years, the two had been by Chen An’an’s side and were both vital pillars of Anle Group. Naturally, financial concerns were nonexistent for them.
They owned properties in both Magic City and Xiangjiang, ensuring their material needs were more than adequately met.
"An’an."
"Youwei, Yingying."
Chen An’an had a dedicated car for her transportation, and her mother, Yanxi, had even requested a copy of her travel itinerary in advance.
Upon learning which places she intended to visit, all arrangements had already been made.
The car picking her up was none other than a top-tier Rolls-Royce Phantom, accompanied by three Royal One Range Rover escort vehicles for security.
From Sichuan onward, she wouldn’t need to fly anymore, opting to explore the area by car.
On the first day, Shen Youwei and Zhao Yingying took her to Chengdu Taikooli, a bustling historical street known for being a viral sensation in short-video platforms.
It was the pinnacle of influencer-friendly streets. After acquiring Wanda Plaza, her family had also begun investing in similar commercial districts.
Unlike before, Chengdu was foreign to Chen An’an. Strolling through its streets didn’t hold any particular appeal for her.
Around her, seven or eight bodyguards stayed close by. Despite the cold weather, a large group of influencers gathered in the area to shoot short videos, most with their own teams in tow.
Anything An’an wanted to buy was immediately handled by someone else—not a single swipe of her card was required.
If you wanted to see what it meant for a young heiress to arrive, she was the perfect example.
She visited top-tier luxury stores, occasionally stopping by watch boutiques to select items she liked and gifting them to companions without hesitation.
Luxury shops strictly prohibited the recording of short videos and influencer livestreams, as such activities visibly diminished their prestige.
Still, some individuals secretly pulled out their phones to snap footage—one of whom was a ponytailed girl in her early twenties.
She dreamt of becoming an influencer and aspired to vlog luxury stores, hoping to reveal what kind of people casually purchased bags worth tens of thousands and watches priced in the millions.
Truth be told, videos like these often garnered extraordinary traffic.
The truly affluent, however, avoided being filmed at all costs, unwilling to have their lives dissected in short clips online.
Accidentally, this girl filmed a clip of Chen An’an. After all, it was hard to miss her extravagant demeanor at such a young age.
She didn’t bother checking the price tags; the moment she liked a design, she selected every available color.
When shopping for friends, she simply let them choose freely. It was unmistakably the behavior of an heiress.
She was indeed an heiress. Upon discovering the incident, her bodyguards immediately confiscated the girl’s phone and insisted she delete the unauthorized footage.
Even the female store clerks were displeased—they risked consequences, including dismissal, if such videos surfaced online.
The girl wasn’t unfamiliar with these situations—unauthorized filming was strictly prohibited, and the standard response was to delete the video without escalating conflicts.
Arguing wouldn’t lead anywhere.
That was merely a minor hiccup during her shopping trip. Once she left, myriad street photographers awaited outside.
Among them, fantastical and quirky outfits were omnipresent.
Most were aspiring influencers; in places like Magic City’s Nanjing Street, such behavior was plainly forbidden.
As she wandered through the streets, Chen An’an immersed herself in learning about Chengdu’s culture and its celebrated figures.
What’s it like to travel when your family is excessively wealthy?
Just look at her for the answer. Chen An’an didn’t need to book hotels during her stay here.
Her mother had prearranged for a villa in Li Lake Ecological City—a property surrounded by water on three sides—for her visit.
The methods of homecoming in this area were exceedingly unconventional; every household was affluent beyond measure, each equipped with private yacht docks.
The yachts weren’t enormous, just modest models priced at seventy to eighty million yuan.
As for home staff, a team of four to five private housekeepers had already been arranged to ensure she could move in instantly upon arrival.
She didn’t have to worry about a thing.
To Shen Youwei and Zhao Yingying, this was expected, as if such treatment was inherently associated with An’an’s ventures.
No hotel, no matter how luxurious, could match the comfort of one’s own home—especially one as opulent as those in Li Lake Ecological City.
