Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

Chen Xinyi invited Su Xiaoxi to her maritime mobile castle.

The two met to discuss the collaboration on some projects under their flags.

Chen Xinyi wanted to package and sell some of her overseas investments cheaply to Su Xiaoxi, so she could gather the funds to focus more on collecting shares in the financial insurance industry.

For the Chen Family, Research Island was absolutely the economic center, the place of the heads.

Not only could it control multiple global industries, but it also affected the employment environment and living conditions of millions of people domestically.

This was because her father, due to the drawbacks of family-style development, had groomed it into a nomination election system.

Even family members, including the Chen Family, could not rise to the top just by blood connections but had to rely on their own strength to ascend step by step.

Chen Xinyi enjoyed sitting on the rooftop deck wearing sunglasses to bask in the sunlight while at sea.

At night, she liked to release a small submarine to explore the seabed scenery, and she enjoyed playing with those ultra-fast and thrilling jet skis.

In short, she liked being at sea and enjoyed eating the seafood she caught herself.

Su Xiaoxi was now fully focused on work, and her time spent with Chen Lu had become increasingly shorter.

She knew An'an, as the head of the family, issued two orders first: Chen Lu must honestly stay at Research Island for two years, and secondly, Chen Xinyi was to run for the next vice-presidential position on the island.

The Modu Chen Family had very clear family rules and regulations, where all direct relatives of the Chen Family must obey the family head.

Although they independently developed outside, they also had to unite internally as one.

For example, Aunt Chen Yao's two daughters, Xiao Ya and Xiao Le, always adhered to Dad's arrangements.

Having been in politics for over thirty years, Xiao Le had become a deputy minister, and Xiao Ya was also in a deputy ministerial position.

According to the rule of half-level promotion upon retirement, she would be at the ministerial level when she retires.

Besides their own efforts, Dad had used family resources to pave their way step by step.

Members of the Old Chen Family, including those from the Song Family, who performed well had also developed quite successfully in their official careers.

The father had set the family's integrated business and politics development goal early in 2018.

To date, it had been pushed forward for thirty-five years.

This was enough for the Modu Chen Family to form a certain influence in officialdom without leaving any traces.

Moreover, the most significant factor was that father established alliance relations with Guangdong's Big Eight during Chu Qiuyan's marriage.

On the surface, they were only business collaborations, but in many aspects, they had formed family alliances.

For instance, if the descendants of Guangdong's Big Eight were dispatched to the Tengying Group's commercial influence area, the Chen Family would spare no effort to help them.

Similarly, if members of the Chen Family entered the Big Eight's sphere of influence, they would be aided in their future promotions.

This was a process of mutual cooperation.

After all, each had strengths and weaknesses, and official careers were far more complex than business, with interpersonal relationships and various other factors being infinitely more intricate.

These business families inherently occupied a disadvantaged position, and without mutual assistance, it would be challenging to achieve great success.

Not only was there long-term cooperation with the Big Eight in Guangdong, but there was also collaboration with many of the elites in Magic City, including in Capital City.

The Chen Family was now like a super battleship, with countless eyes watching it, and even more people relying on it.

If it were attacked, it would be like a whale turning over, creating waves we can't fathom.

Therefore, no one dares to act recklessly unless they are absolutely sure.

If they do act, it means there has been a significant change at the top.

Chen Xinyi simply didn't like dealing with the lower-level commercial stuff, but that didn't mean she didn't understand these things, and as the Modu Chen Family grew, the position of the family head rose higher.

It's evident that a single word from her elder sister An'an sent Chen Lu off to Research Island, and another arrangement from An'an made Chen Xinyi start planning anew.

Well, she had a son and a daughter too.

These two would rely on family resources to live in the future.

Chen Xinyi sat facing the sea, and when she talked about her children, she wasn't the least bit worried.

There's not much to say about Chen Youcai; he was the same age as Chen Wuyou. Youcai was wealthy but simple-minded.

Chen Wuyou, on the other hand, liked chasing stars a bit, similar to her classmates, and was obsessed with entertainment industry celebrities.

This always caused Su Xiaoxi some worry.

"Er Piya, An'an's arrangements should take you about half a year to complete, right?"

Chen Xinyi shook her head, "Half a year is hardly enough. It's not urgent, and the number of foreign companies involved is too many, it might take at least a year."

"The nomination for the next vice-presidential position is in two years, certainly enough time, but now that father suddenly stepped away from all family affairs, it does make my sister a bit anxious."

Su Xiaoxi nodded, "When father was around, everyone had a backbone. Even if the sky fell, everyone knew that as long as father was there, nothing would happen. It's understandable that An'an is nervous now."

Chen Xinyi waved her hand, "Let's not discuss that for now. Dad used to prioritize cultivating family heirs, with him around, I didn't even have to worry about my son Chen Youcai, because I knew Dad would make adjustments based on his actual situation. Now it's different, with Dad gone, I feel like grabbing Chen Youcai and scolding him severely."

The reason their relationship was so good was largely because their children were of the same age.

There were countless related topics.

Chen Youcai, despite his wealth, liked being a bootlicker, spending money on others without saying a word, and had no status whatsoever.

How could that resemble Chen Xinyi's child?

As for Su Xiaoxi, Chen Wuyou started chasing stars together with her classmates since middle school; others supported stars verbally, but she splurged real money on them.

In reality, half of the entertainment circle was owned by her family.

Su Xiaoxi truly feared Wuyou would want to become a celebrity when she grew up; this was completely beneath super elite families.

Chen Wuyou increasingly leaned toward this development trend; if father were still here, he would certainly have a solution.

Wuyou had always been the most obedient to her grandfather since childhood.

Chen Pingsheng's departure not only put aside family affairs but also the cultivation of the most important heirs, catching everyone off guard.

The only reason for father's departure that no one could dispute was his decision to fulfill mother's last wish.

As Mother Song Yanxi said, she wanted to spend the most precious five years of her life doing good in the world.

She wished to donate her forty billion family wealth to pray to heaven for a chance to be his wife once again.

Song Yanxi could easily contribute forty billion, and her accumulation in the health domain over the years was not a joke.

Wealth derived from society must eventually be returned to society.

Not only would she do so, but Chen Pingsheng would do the same in his later years.

Besides leaving the family's industries and cash, the global profits he acquired over the years.

Everything would be given back to society when life's journey ended.
