Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled-Chapter 888 - 670 The Scene After the New Year

After the New Year, An’an began her journey across Huanchuan Land. She made quite an impression wherever she went.

Her entourage included three Land Rover Royal One security cars, and she herself rode in an extended Rolls-Royce Phantom.

With such an aura, whoever saw her couldn’t resist taking a second glance.

On the first day of the new lunar year, she visited Tengnong Breeding, a venture established by her father.

Tengnong Breeding was founded based on her dad’s vision for revitalizing rural areas—following the principle of letting those who prosper first help others to prosper.

The ideal was beautifully ambitious, and its implementation in reality also faced few major issues.

The primary challenge lay in its inherent business model limitations, such as the land lease strategy, which favored agricultural policies aimed at rural welfare.

Land rental was priced at ten times the market rate, with professional agricultural and livestock technical institutes established in various provinces.

These institutes trained experts for advanced, eco-friendly farming initiatives.

Most of the products from Tengnong Breeding catered to middle-class and upper-middle-class consumers.

This project, however, had been the biggest financial loss under her father’s management, with over 50 billion invested since its founding.

From 2015 to 2023, it still hadn’t achieved a balance between profit and loss.

One significant reason was that all profits were reinvested locally.

For instance, they funded rural hope elementary schools, small village libraries, healthcare clinics, and so on.

These were just parts of Tengnong Breeding’s contributions to rural development.

Her father had little time for site inspections, so this time An’an brought Shen Youwei, Zhao Yingying, and two classmates along for the trip.

It almost felt like she was enjoying her father’s well-earned respect.

Sichuan, a rural village.

The village chief, village secretary, and over a hundred villagers gathered at the entrance and unfurled a huge banner warmly welcoming Tengying Group’s An’an for an on-site inspection.

The village had introduced Tengnong Breeding back in 2017. In just five or six years, it had transformed from one of poverty to one where elderly care was reliable and children could access proper elementary education.

What Tengnong Breeding had achieved most notably was raising the villagers’ average annual income from 12,000 yuan to 58,000 yuan—more than fourfold.

An’an was also one of the highest-ranking figures from Tengying Group, possibly even its future Sect Leader, if not for her young age, being only a first-year high school student.

Today, it wasn’t just village officials like chiefs and secretaries who welcomed her.

At a minimum, it was county-level leaders such as county magistrates and county party secretaries.

Listening to people recount her father’s accomplishments filled An’an with pride. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Her heart surged with enthusiasm, almost impulsively wanting to donate seven or eight hundred million on the spot, imagining every family living in a villa.

She held back from such impulsive spending, realizing it wasn’t necessary.

The family might be wealthy, but money should be spent on more meaningful causes.

The focus should be on investing in Tengnong Breeding to extend its influence to more impoverished rural areas.

Clearly, such investments far outweighed the appeal of villas for every family.

Tengnong Breeding was merely her first stop. The second was Tengying Entertainment’s newly built film-shooting base in Sichuan.

During her visit, she coincidentally found Zhao Liying filming a romantic fantasy drama titled "With Phoenix Flight."

An’an’s father was practically royalty in the entertainment industry.

Though entertainment was just one subsidiary business within the conglomerate, its depth and reach were formidable.

Since 2013, her father had earned a reputation as the kindest and most ethical boss in the entertainment world—without comparison.

Many A-list actresses who worked with him not only achieved early financial freedom but also faced no hidden rules or inequities of any kind.

Zhao Liying had even signed with him until the age of 50, promising not to retire. If she didn’t stop working, she would spend the rest of her career solely with this company.

Even An’an had to call her Lady Liying out of respect—not because of Liying’s high status in the entertainment world.

It was because back when An’an’s family had lived in a rented apartment, Lady Liying lived next door and often took care of her.

Their relationship was far from the typical boss-employee dynamic; they were close friends.

Zhao Liying was quite fond of her, even taking her to experience filming for the fantasy drama and encouraging An’an to treat the entire cast and crew to their first cup of winter milk tea.

Post-pandemic, the entertainment industry was thriving once more.

Just like her family, Zhao Liying had also achieved her original dreams. After An’an posed for a group photo with her two classmates and the entire cast, she left.

After her departure, even Liying’s friends couldn’t help commenting: "This young lady is surprisingly approachable."

"An’an has always been thoughtful and down-to-earth."

"Considering how rich her family is, to see her mingling with us so warmly is rare."

"That’s probably because you haven’t met her father. Even today, he doesn’t forget us—the people who once struggled alongside him."

"Lady Liying, I heard her father used to work as an extra in the entertainment industry. Is that true?"

"That was many years ago—who would’ve thought Chen would come this far."

Zhao Liying shook her head, avoiding deeper reflection. Back in those days, An’an’s father was still the kind of person driving a tricycle and sweating profusely in the rain to help her move houses.

Time hadn’t changed their principles, though everyone had grown busier.

Each year, there seemed to be less and less time to gather together.

Zhao Liying remained focused on her acting.

Meanwhile, An’an was heading off to inspect more of her family’s ventures in Sichuan.

Her six-meter Rolls-Royce Phantom exuded an imposing presence, providing the comfort of a mobile living room.

Inside, she couldn’t feel a trace of the commotion outside.
