After having dinner at home, Ding Jianguo took Ding Yi back to school.
Downstairs in the dormitory, Ding Jianguo said to Ding Yi, "You and Huang Xiaochuan, don't worry. If it's a legitimate transaction, we won't interfere. But if anyone's blind enough to try and take advantage of you, I'd like to see who dares!"
These words were spoken with great arrogance. Ding Yi had not seen Ding Jianguo with such imposing presence in a long time, and he couldn't help but laugh!
"Alright! Go upstairs now! Call me if you need anything."
"knew!"
When Ding Yi returned to the dormitory, Wu Duo, Zhang Gaolei, and Chen Zhe were gathered around the table, looking at a newspaper together. Zhang Gaolei was also calculating something with paper and pen, while Huang Xiaochuan was lying on the bed reading a book.
Ding Yi climbed up and took a look; Huang Xiaochuan was reading "Zizhi Tongjian" (Comprehensive Mirror for Aid in Government).
He asked curiously, "Why are you looking at this? Don't you find it boring?"
When Huang Xiaochuan saw Ding Yi return, he closed the book.
"Just take a look around; it can't hurt to learn a bit about history. Why are you only coming back now?"
"I went back home and had dinner with my parents and my uncle."
Huang Xiaochuan immediately guessed: "Your family knows?"
"Yes! You're right. As long as we register with our ID cards, this matter can't be kept secret. But I also have some good news to tell you." Ding Yi suddenly lowered his voice.
"From now on, we don't have to worry about anyone eyeing our subscription certificates. My uncle said that anyone who dares to lay a finger on them will have their claws chopped off. My dad also invited you to our house for a meal. I'll tell you when the time is arranged. He's very busy, and I rarely see him."
Hearing Ding Yi's question, Huang Xiaochuan couldn't help but ask, "What's your dad's job?"
Ding Yi turned to look at Wu Duo and the others, and seeing that they weren't paying attention to them, he whispered to Huang Xiaochuan, "The one in charge of hats." He pointed to his head as he spoke.
Huang Xiaochuan was so surprised that he almost blurted out "Holy crap!"
Ding Gungun, that kid's been hiding his true colors! A genuine second-generation official! He always used to say his parents were just ordinary cadres, what a load of rubbish, we've been fooled by him for so long!
It's not Huang Xiaochuan's fault for being kept in the dark. Who would have thought that Ding Yi liked to squeeze into the dormitory with them, unlike other rich kids? However, Huang Xiaochuan had never met a real rich kid before. Ding Yi might be the first. But how does this guy resemble a rich kid?
Thinking back to when this kid drew cartoons for the old professor during freshman year, Huang Xiaochuan pretended to report him, but the kid stuffed the cartoon into his mouth and swallowed it. Huang Xiaochuan never imagined that this kid was a second-generation official, and that his father was a high-ranking official.
"you?"
Ding Yi understood what Huang Xiaochuan wanted to ask and took the initiative to confess: "I have an older sister who is twelve years older than me and is already working. My parents were in their thirties when they had me, so I was a late-life child."
Huang Xiaochuan then realized that it was about right. Sometimes he would see Gun Gun's dad on TV. His dad looked to be at least fifty years old. The age difference was quite large. In fact, Huang Xiaochuan himself didn't think about it. His father, Lao Huang, was also over thirty when he had him.
In early April, Cao Charlie took the earliest flight to Shanghai. His main purpose in coming to Shanghai was to report to Huang Xiaochuan and to obtain some documents that Huang Xiaochuan needed to sign.
As soon as he got off the plane, Charlie Cao made a phone call to his boss, Huang Xiaochuan, from the airport. Huang Xiaochuan told him to stay at the Peace Hotel and that he would meet Charlie Cao there later.
At 5:50 p.m., Yang Junmin and two others drove to the University of Finance and Economics to pick up Huang Xiaochuan and headed straight to the Peace Hotel.
Upon meeting Huang Xiaochuan in the suite, Cao Charlie greeted him warmly.
"Mr. Huang!"
"Charlie, don't stand, sit down with me!"
"Thank you, Mr. Huang!"
After sitting down, Cao Charlie handed several documents to Huang Xiaochuan.
"Mr. Huang, this is the company's financial statement for the first quarter of this year, as well as the operation report of the specialty stores. This is a business plan that Lin Junfeng asked me to bring to you, which is a plan for opening specialty stores in the Japanese and Korean markets."
Huang Xiaochuan nodded and took the documents one by one to read.
More than half an hour later, Huang Xiaochuan finished reading the documents.
Charlie Cao took out some more documents from his briefcase and showed them to Huang Xiaochuan.
"Mr. Huang, these documents require your signature. Please take a look at them first."
Huang Xiaochuan took them and looked at them. They were all documents that required authorization, as well as financial expenditure documents. Huang Xiaochuan signed them one by one.
After finishing all this, Charlie Cao organized the documents and put them back into his briefcase.
He took a black combination lock suitcase from his suitcase and handed it to Huang Xiaochuan.
"Mr. Huang, here is the two hundred thousand US dollars you requested. This is the IOU; please sign it!"
Huang Xiaochuan opened the combination lock box, looked inside, nodded to confirm, and signed the IOU.
Huang Xiaochuan borrowed the money from Dadao Trading. Because he didn't have time to go to HSBC in Hong Kong to handle the relevant procedures, he took advantage of the opportunity when Cao Charlie came to the mainland to report to him to borrow a sum of money from the company account first, and then he would repay the company's money after he went to Hong Kong.
After everything was finished, Huang Xiaochuan said, "Charlie, let's have dinner together!"
Charlie Cao said respectfully, "Mr. Huang, I've made arrangements. I've booked a private room at the restaurant in this hotel."
After handing the black briefcase to Li Huan, Huang Xiaochuan said to Cao Charlie, "Order one more."
Cao Charlie glanced at Yang Junmin and the others, nodded, and replied, "Okay, I'll make the call right away."
May 12, Sunday afternoon.
Huang Xiaochuan was watching the news in the living room, while Yu Xiang was busy mopping the floor.
They had just returned from Yuyuan Road. The house transfer had been completed, and today they were going to confirm the renovation plan with Mr. Kan.
"Lift your foot slightly."
Huang Xiaochuan picked up his slippers and crossed his legs on the sofa. An important news report was on TV, but Yu Xiang blocked his view. Huang Xiaochuan turned his body to continue watching TV.
Unexpectedly, Yu Xiang moved her position, and her view was blocked again. Huang Xiaochuan couldn't help but complain, "Hey Dr. Yu, could you please move your big butt a little? Stop waving it around in front of me, okay? Can't you see I'm watching TV?"
Upon hearing Huang Xiaochuan tease her about her big butt, Yu Xiang turned around, grabbed a mop, and pretended to hit Huang Xiaochuan in the face.
"I'll teach you to talk nonsense. I'll get you a mop to wipe your mouth."
"I was wrong! I was wrong, Dr. Yu." Huang Xiaochuan quickly pretended to beg for forgiveness.
"Hmph! Let's see if you dare to do this again next time!" Seeing Huang Xiaochuan beg for mercy, Yu Xiang put down the mop.
Unexpectedly, Huang Xiaochuan showed no sportsmanship. While Yu Xiang turned around to continue mopping the floor, he attacked her from behind, grabbed her, and pushed her onto the sofa. The two then started playfully fighting.
After spending a lot of time together, Huang Xiaochuan learned that Yu Xiang was particularly ticklish, so he would tickle her armpits, making Yu Xiang laugh so hard she couldn't breathe.
"Hahaha, help!"
"Then tell me, 'Husband, forgive me,' and I'll let you go!"
Yu Xiang stubbornly replied, "No!"
Seeing that Yu Xiang was stubborn, Huang Xiaochuan pressed her down and continued to scratch her.
"Hahaha, husband, husband!"
"Anything else?"
Yu Xiang gasped for breath, "Spare me, husband, please spare me!"
Huang Xiaochuan then released Yu Xiang with a smug look on his face.
As a result, Yu Xiang picked up a mop and was about to hit him, which scared Huang Xiaochuan so much that he covered his head and ran away.
The two of them argued at home for ages, but ended up not watching the news or mopping the floor. They were so exhausted that they collapsed on the floor.
Huang Xiaochuan simply lay down on the floor: "I'm not cooking tonight, I'm exhausted!"
Yu Xiang stood up and used her last bit of strength to pull Huang Xiaochuan up from the ground.
"Get up quickly and sit on the sofa. I'll cook dinner. You can call and ask Yu Wei and the other guy if they're coming for dinner."
"Okay! I'll go fight right now!"
