I'm back in 1990

Chapter 1033: Haven't seen anyone in a long time

As Ge Changli poured himself some wine, he said, "Go ahead!"

Huang Xiaochuan then told Ge Changli about his idea.

He said, "I've thought about it, and I think it's more appropriate for you to take over. Otherwise, if Li Xu quits or a different boss comes along, the workers will be the ones who suffer in the end."

Ge Changli pondered for a moment, then said truthfully, "Xiao Chuan, to be honest, taking over Xuri Electronics shouldn't be a problem. However, I recently bought some equipment, and my cash flow is tight. It will take a few months."

Huang Xiaochuan laughed and said, "Money is no problem at all! As long as you agree to take over, I'll have Hengtong sign a contract with you directly. With the order contract, you can apply for a bank loan. Nowadays, these kinds of loans are subsidized by the government, so why not take advantage of it?"

Ge Changli slapped his thigh: "Then let's do it this way!"

He knew his friend wouldn't cheat him, and as long as there were a steady stream of orders, the business would soon be running normally again.

After finishing their business, the two started chatting. They both started talking about the past and their children. Ge Changli's son was studying at a university in Xi'an, and it was just the two of them at home most of the time.

At this point, Ge Changli sighed, "People are really contradictory sometimes. They hope their children will be successful, but they also want their children to stay by their side when they get old. It's a pity! Successful children will spread their wings and fly high, while only those who are not very successful will stay by their parents' side."

Huang Xiaochuan pointed out the crux of the problem: "This is actually selfishness. Think about it, aren't parents thinking about their children? Aren't they thinking about themselves? If their children are successful, it can reduce the burden on their parents. If they are capable, they can even support their parents. If their children are not successful, keeping them around is just wanting someone to take care of them!"

After listening to this, Ge Changli pondered for a while and realized it was true. He shook his head with a wry smile.

He asked Huang Xiaochuan, "What if your son and daughter live far away from you in the future? Won't you be lonely?"

Huang Xiaochuan stuffed a piece of winter bamboo shoot into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and swallowed it before saying unhurriedly, "What's there to be lonely about? Just find something to do. Besides, you still have your partner."

"I'm not as open-minded as you are. I only have one son. I didn't let him go to study abroad because I wanted him to stay by my side in the future. Otherwise, who would I give this business to? It's all his!" Ge Changli explained his thoughts.

Huang Xiaochuan smiled but didn't say anything. He raised his glass and gestured to Ge Changli, and the two of them tacitly downed their drinks in one gulp.

The two drank and chatted until nearly midnight. Huang Xiaochuan noticed it was getting late and quickly got up to say goodbye.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to apologize to Luo Jia: "Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry to have kept you from resting."

Luo Jiaxiang feigned displeasure and said, "Look at what you're saying. Why are you being so polite with me? You and Lao Ge have been friends for twenty years. Our two families are practically inseparable."

A few days later, Ge Changli received news that Xuri Electronics wanted to transfer ownership.

Li Xu acted swiftly, cutting his losses to save himself. He knew that if he couldn't extricate himself in time, his troubles would only increase.

So after he leaked the news of his asset sale, people quickly came knocking on his door.

He was in a hurry to get rid of the business, so he naturally didn't ask for a high price. After several rounds of negotiations, he finally sold Xuri Electronics to a man named Ge Changli.

With the transfer of the legal representative, matters involving Xuri Electronics were no longer his concern, and Li Xu could now prepare for his trip abroad.

On Friday evening, Li Wenbo returned home as usual.

"Wenbo, come here for a second!" Li Xu called out to Li Wenbo, who was heading towards the restaurant.

Li Wenbo then noticed that his parents were sitting together, looking very serious.

"Dad, Mom, what's wrong with you?" Li Wenbo sensed that something was off with his parents.

He had a feeling before that his father seemed to be particularly busy, so he had asked his mother, Fang Linghua, about it, but Fang Linghua said it was nothing, so he didn't take it to heart.

Li Xu pointed to the sofa opposite him, gesturing for Li Wenbo to sit down.

After Li Wenbo sat down, he said, "Your mother and I have something to tell you!"

"Dad, tell me!" Li Wenbo pricked up his ears.

Li Xu said, "Didn't we already tell you that we would send you abroad to study when you are a senior? We have now contacted the University of Toronto for you, and we will go there in a few days."

"Dad, are you going with Mom too?"

The couple nodded. To be honest, Li Xu wished he could divorce Fang Linghua. If it weren't for this stupid woman, things wouldn't have come to this.

However, the marriage cannot be dissolved for the time being, mainly because of Li Wenbo, so Li Xu put aside the idea for the time being and went abroad first.

Li Wenbo was puzzled: "Why? Dad, can you leave your company?"

At this moment, Fang Linghua said, "Your father has already sold the company and even the house we live in. It's just that the other party hasn't come to hand over the house to us yet. They said they would hand it over before they left, but the property certificate has already been transferred."

Li Wenbo stared in disbelief: "Why?"

Li Xu then said, "Mainly, I'm tired and want to retire early. Besides, I've earned enough over the years to live a stable life in Canada. On Monday, my whole family will go to the Canadian Consulate in Shanghai to apply for immigration visas. All the procedures have been completed, and this last step requires me to go in person."

This sudden news left Li Wenbo somewhat at a loss. He opened his mouth, but for a long time he didn't know what to say.

However, he wasn't entirely unprepared for this. Back when he was a freshman in college, studying abroad had already been on the agenda. Otherwise, his family wouldn't have bought properties and farms in Canada and the Great Lakes region of the United States, just to prepare for his future studies abroad.

After that, Li Wenbo never returned to school. His parents handled the relevant procedures for him, but he later learned the general reason and was greatly shocked.

Two weeks later, the family flew to Vancouver, Canada.

It wasn't until close to the start of winter break that the students in room 301 learned of the news, with Lin Weiwei being the first to find out.

"Hey! Have you heard? Li Wenbo went abroad to study."

Chen Yue, who was busy fighting a pimple on her face, forgot all about the pimple and asked, "When did this happen?"

Lin Weiwei thought for a moment: "It seems like it's been a while. Haven't you noticed he hasn't shown up for a long time?"

The group all looked at Tang Ruixuan.

Tang Ruixuan was both annoyed and amused: "Why are you all looking at me like that? Does his studying abroad have anything to do with me?"

Tang Ruixuan was unaware that Li Wenbo's sudden departure to study abroad was actually related to her.

Chen Yue asked, "Didn't Senior Li come to say goodbye or anything before he left?"

"You guys!" Tang Ruixuan was speechless as she looked at her roommates.
