I'm back in 1990

Chapter 180: The Tofu Gate

Huang Xiaochuan took some time to visit Ge Changli.

"Xiao Chuan! It's so hard to see you these days. What made you decide to come here today?"

While busy making tea for Huang Xiaochuan, Ge Changli asked him a question.

"Brother, I was in school, and I didn't dare to miss a single class every day. Unlike you, you can find an excuse to skip work and relax."

"Oh! You've found out quite a bit about the ins and outs, haven't you?" Ge Changli placed a teacup in front of Huang Xiaochuan.

Huang Xiaochuan joked with Ge Changli, "I'm here today to rip you off. Did you make money on the stocks?"

Ge Changli's face was practically beaming with joy: "Even if the stocks don't make money, treating you to dinner is just a matter of a word."

"I was just kidding, I came here to ask you for a favor."

"Why are you being so polite with me? Just tell me what you need, as long as it's within my power."

"Winter is coming soon, and I want to buy a batch of kerosene-burning heaters. These are made in Japan. Can you place an order for me? I'll give you foreign exchange. I won't take advantage of the country. I'll handle the customs clearance myself after the goods arrive."

"That's all? Oh my, please help me! You could have just called me, why did you have to come all this way? Honestly!"

"It's been a while since I've seen you! I happen to have some free time today, so I thought I'd come and tell you in person."

Ge Changli checked the time; it was almost lunchtime.

"That's perfect. Don't leave at noon, let's have lunch together and chat."

"Okay! Then I won't leave."

Ge Changli withdrew from the stamp market early, even earlier than Huang Xiaochuan. Although he didn't make a huge profit, his investment had multiplied several times over. He then invested another sum in the stock market and held onto it. The stock market is currently showing promising growth, but Ge Changli can't predict its future trend. Huang Xiaochuan had said that stocks always fluctuate, with both rises and falls. Therefore, Ge Changli always wanted to find an opportunity to discuss this matter with Huang Xiaochuan.

Although Huang Xiaochuan was younger than him, he had unique ideas about economics and finance. It was through his interactions with Huang Xiaochuan that Ge Changli gained a lot of useful information, which made him determined to enter the stamp and stock markets for speculation.

During the meal, Huang Xiaochuan addressed Ge Changli's question in the following way.

"Currently, these stocks still have room to rise because when they were first issued, only 10,000 or 100,000 shares were sold to the public. Although there have been multiple rights issues and share issuances, the total amount is still limited. As the stock market heats up, more and more people are entering the market, a large portion of whom come from the stamp market. A characteristic of financial speculation is chasing the rise and selling the fall; the higher the price goes, the more people follow suit."

"My analysis is that stocks will definitely fall at some point. I think it will be after a large number of stocks enter the stock exchange. You know about the recent lottery for stock subscriptions, which shows that it has already begun. In the future, the number of stocks in the stock market will increase, and the funds entering the stock market now will be rapidly diluted. At that time, as long as there are no funds to fill the gap in time, a decline is inevitable."

After listening to Huang Xiaochuan's words, Ge Changli already knew what to do next.

After finishing his meal, Huang Xiaochuan said goodbye to Ge Changli and went back to school.

In this world, Ge Changli is one of the people Huang Xiaochuan is willing to help. This is because Huang Xiaochuan received help from Ge Changli in a time of crisis in his previous life. In this life, he naturally wants to make Ge Changli a wealthy man. Huang Xiaochuan will not give him money directly, but will guide him into several tracks that can yield considerable returns. The stamp market is one, currently it is the stock market, and there are others to come.

Of course, Huang Xiaochuan will not forget the person who wronged him in his past life. They will meet again sooner or later, as long as that person is still in the foreign trade business.

During evening self-study, Huang Xiaochuan was concentrating on copying notes when Sang Weihong quietly entered the study room, patted Chen Zhe, who was sitting next to Huang Xiaochuan, on the shoulder, and gestured for him to make room.

When Chen Zhe saw that his senior had come to find Huang Xiaochuan again, he wisely moved to the back row and gave his seat to Sang Weihong.

Huang Xiaochuan, engrossed in copying notes, didn't even notice that someone else had moved to his side.

Ding Yi saw this scene clearly. He nudged Wu Duo with his elbow, patted Zhang Gaolei, and gestured towards Huang Xiaochuan with his chin.

Wu Duo almost blurted out "I'm so damn stupid!"

Why are those two standing so close? No, why is Senior Sang moving closer to Huang Xiaochuan?

Sang Weihong leaned closer to Huang Xiaochuan to see what he was writing, but unexpectedly, strands of her hair fell down into Huang Xiaochuan's neck. Huang Xiaochuan felt a little itchy on his neck and subconsciously used his left hand to scratch it, but unexpectedly, he was stopped halfway by something soft but elastic.

Huang Xiaochuan blurted out, "Chen Zhe, what are you doing?"

"Fine, I'll say it," Huang Xiaochuan said, and then casually pushed the thing that was very close to him away, thinking it was Chen Zhe's head coming over to watch him copy notes.

This push felt a bit off; this wasn't Chen Zhe. He quickly pulled his hand back, turned his head, and saw... holy crap.

When did this woman sit down next to me? She didn't even say hello?

Looking again at Sang Weihong's flushed face, even Huang Xiaochuan, who was not very bright, knew what he had just pushed.

What a jerk! Why did you have to put your chest so close to me? Don't you know how big your chest is?

Ding Yi, Wu Duo, Zhang Gaolei, and Chen Zhe all witnessed Huang Xiaochuan pushing Sang Wei's red chest. Holy crap! What a juicy story! Their jaws nearly dropped to their desks. That rich guy is a rich guy, he's got some nerve, he actually dared to lay his hands on his senior.

Feeling a little guilty, Huang Xiaochuan glanced around, afraid someone might have seen him. Everyone else was engrossed in their studies, but his roommates were staring at him wide-eyed. Huang Xiaochuan thought to himself, "I'm doomed!"

Sang Weihong put down what she was going to give Huang Xiaochuan and ran away. How could she not run away? She was so embarrassed; her breasts had been touched.

Her running away didn't give Huang Xiaochuan a chance to explain. Huang Xiaochuan looked at the things Sang Weihong left on the desk, and then at the shocked looks on the faces of the guys in his dormitory. He was doomed; he couldn't clear his name now.

Huang Xiaochuan decided to skip self-study and quickly packed up to go back to his dormitory. He picked up the things Sang Weihong had brought and saw that it was a large piece of chocolate in an envelope.

You said you were going to give me something, so why did you have to get so close? Now look what's happened, this is a huge misunderstanding, I won't be getting a good night's sleep tonight.

Seeing Huang Xiaochuan leave, the group quickly packed their things and followed him.

Ding mistook that envelope for a love letter.

"Why are you running so fast? We all saw it. Your senior was giving you a love letter, and you were taking advantage of her."

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaochuan stopped and turned around to shove the envelope into Ding Yi's hand.

"Open your eyes wide and look inside! What's there?"

Ding Yi felt the envelope was heavy when he received it, and when he poured it out, he found a large piece of chocolate inside.

"That senior student wanted to thank me, but you twisted it into something else? Your thoughts are so filthy," Huang Xiaochuan tried to clarify.

"Even if your senior gave you chocolates, why did you take advantage of her?"

"How was I supposed to know Chen Zhe switched seats with her? Chen Zhe, can you vouch for me if that's true?"

Even the honest Chen Zhe has gone astray; he's holding back his laughter and won't say a word.

When Huang Xiaochuan saw the situation, he thought, "Damn it, this is like mud falling into my pants; even if it's not shit, it's still shit."

He turned and walked towards the dormitory, and the others followed behind him.

Sure enough, as soon as they got back to the dorm, Ding Yi asked, "How did it feel?"

Huang Xiaochuan simply pretended to be clueless: "What do you mean by 'feel'? I don't understand what you're saying!"

"Don't fucking play dumb, we all saw it, you slapped him right then and there."

The other three nodded in agreement, indicating that Ding Yi was right.

Huang Xiaochuan was so angry that he climbed into bed and buried himself under the covers, but even so he couldn't escape the chatter of the others.

After that, the group would use this incident to manipulate Huang Xiaochuan whenever they had a chance, which was known in Dormitory 222 as the "Tofu Gate Incident".
