Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

In late December, the temperature was cold.

The vast golf course, except for a few beautiful female caddies.

All that was left was Chen Pingsheng's family.

It is often said that golf is a game for the wealthy, and this statement couldn't be more true.

Because at any decent golf course, the starting threshold for VIPs is over one hundred thousand.

And for a top-tier domestic course like this one, the cost per hour is at least tens of thousands.

Golf involves swinging the club to get the ball into the hole, similar to the marble game they often played as kids.

Chen An'an wore a white cap, taking a two-day break to play golf.

As for the mischievous Er Piya, she ran around with a golf club on her back.

Chen Pingsheng wore sunglasses, sitting to the side quietly watching the spoiled brat play.

Soon, the secretary Lin Qiunan came to report that Yang Zishan and his daughter Yang Ziqi had been waiting outside for an hour.

Asking if he wanted to see them.

Chen Pingsheng said: "Let them come here!"

This week was like a nightmare for Yang Ziqi, with classmates' mockery and friends distancing themselves.

The despair of her life dreams ending before even starting afflicted her daily with uncertainty and anxiety.

After much thought, she still couldn't figure out whom she had offended.

Why would others target her, a young woman in her early twenties?

Mr. Yang watched her sink into negativity, no longer the sunny girl she used to be.

On the surface, he said nothing, but he was extremely anxious inside.

After numerous inquiries, he finally learned that the person banning his daughter was the big boss of Tengying Group.

A heavyweight who owned half of the entertainment industry.

Such a figure issuing an industry-wide ban against his daughter was beyond despair; it obliterated any hope whatsoever.

All the top moguls in the circle, including the bosses of the big three video sites of Aiyouteng, had collaborations with this big boss.

In the circle, perhaps only VIPs at the Ma level could mediate his daughter's situation.

People like that, he couldn't even begin to approach.

Moreover, it was unlikely for anyone to approach Chen Pingsheng on behalf of his daughter, saying, "Could you consider giving me a favor?"

If there was genuine influence, it might be okay, but if someone without that influence tried to act big, Cao Jingli, that billionaire, was a classic example.

After running her mouth, what happened?

She tucked her tail between her legs and went to apologize the next night.

He still had no clue why his daughter had offended such a person.

Logically speaking, there was no direct connection, yet his daughter had just happened to encounter him.

Yang Ziqi no longer wore tight, figure-flaunting leather outfits but a modest white down jacket.

She came over with a heart full of unease.

A word from others could ban her from the industry, and she couldn't harbour even a slight thought of resistance.

What she really wanted to know was why she was banned?

What unforgivable thing had she done?

After waiting outside for an hour and seeing the person inside, Yang Ziqi finally realized.

"Is it you, that Didi driver?"

Chen Pingsheng's eyes under the sunglasses were unreadable, but Lin Qiunan beside him rebuked sternly:

"What nonsense are you talking about? He is our Tengying Group's big boss."

Yang Ziqi's face changed repeatedly, and Yang Zishan, observing her expression, inwardly cursed their bad luck.

His daughter clearly did not know his identity, and such offenses were often the most disastrous.

"You are the big boss of Tengying Group?"

"If you ask such a foolish question again, you can continue standing outside for a few more hours."

The secretary didn't even want to entertain her, but Yang Zishan spoke up: "Mr. Chen, my daughter is still young. If there's anything she hasn't done right, as a father, I am willing to apologize on her behalf. I only hope that you, being a magnanimous person, can forgive."

Chen Pingsheng said: "Do you know why you were allowed to come here today? It's because I allowed it. I've said before, if any of you tried to deal with me under another identity, you wouldn't dare to make such foolish mistakes.

"My cousin was hit by your car, and the first thing she said when she got up was sorry, it was her fault for running the red light. But you?

"After sobering up, you put on an aloof attitude and even tried to use your status to teach us to be honest.

"Now, I'll use my status to teach you to be honest, and look, now you're trying to reason again."

"So everything has to be decided by you?"

Yang Zishan finally understood that the person they had run into before was the cousin of this bigwig.

And his daughter, ignorant of everything, had provided false testimony for her classmate, Wang Xin.

She even forced the other party to sign a no-fault agreement.

When reasonable dialogues were attempted, you exhibited an attitude of the capitalist class.

Now that they are not willing to reason, they demand a society governed by law, where everyone is equal.

If that's acceptable, then where would the bigwig's face go?

Mr. Yang knew this matter could not end amicably, and his back bent even lower.

"Mr. Chen, it is indeed my daughter's fault. I only ask that you give her a way out, and I, Yang Zishan, will fulfill it no matter what."

"You are not qualified yet to resolve this issue for your daughter, and your Yang Family doesn't even have the capability to meet me in Magic City."

Chen Pingsheng said expressionlessly: "Now, I give your daughter two options; one is to go to the police station herself and explain the situation, acting as a witness to report her good friend Wang Xin and Lawyer Wang who taught you to provide a false testimony.

"The second is to hang a sign saying 'I am a cheap woman' at the hospital entrance and stand there for three days."

"This..." Yang Zishan's face completely changed. It wasn't because Chen Pingsheng had spoken demeaning words, but the two options for his daughter both represented a lifelong disgrace.

Especially the second one, what girl could accept such a condition?

As for the first option, abandoning friends to save oneself might be acceptable.

A leading lawyer, once publicly reported for inciting others to provide false testimonies.

It's no longer a question of whether he has a future but it is a crime!

Chen Pingsheng wants his daughter to sacrifice her best friend to gain re-entry into the circle.

Yang Ziqi faced pain whichever choice she made.

On the way home, Mr. Yang said nothing.

Only after his daughter had finished crying did he say something significant.

Now, it was Wang Xin who had hit someone, and it was Wang Gang who had taught his daughter to provide false testimony.

If this time Chen Pingsheng had met their family first and presented the same conditions for Wang Xin and her father to choose from.

Mr. Wang would probably not hesitate to sacrifice their family.

Since they have offended Chen Pingsheng, they really have no second path to take.

Since that's the case, it's better to sacrifice others than to be the cannon fodder themselves.

Mr. Yang didn't hesitate to make his daughter choose.

The next day, Wang Xin was stunned.

She couldn't believe that her dad would end up in jail because of a report from her best friend.

It was like the sky had fallen at her home, the lawyer's license was definitely going to be suspended directly.

How long he would have to stay in, no one knew yet.

A lawyer breaking the law, blatantly teaching someone to provide false testimony, this scenario is very severe in the entire industry.

Wang Xin cursed at Yang Ziqi loudly in school, her former best friend.

Now everything was in chaos.

The whole school was watching the drama unfold.

Yang Ziqi was bewildered, she thought that by reporting her best friend, everything could return to normal.

But it couldn't.

Wang Xin's reputation was ruined, and so was hers.

With reputations tarnished like this, even if Tengying Group lifted the ban, how could she return to her original path?

Yang Ziqi let out a miserable, bitter laugh. Is this what a real bigwig in the entertainment industry is like?

They never thought about forgiving her, letting her have a choice, but rather fell deeper into self-blame.

Wang Xin was nearly going insane, and she herself wasn't faring any better.

Those past pledges still ringing in her ears.

"Xin, we should remain best friends for life."

"Ziqi, no matter who becomes a big star, we must support each other."

"Xin, I got my first movie role."

"Ziqi, me too."

"Ziqi, when I become a big star, I must tell the whole world, you are my best friend."
