As usual, Gao Song finished his work and then checked his boss's schedule for the day. Just then, the phone on his desk rang.

"Hello!"

The call came from the receptionist in the lobby downstairs: "Minister Gao, a Mr. Ge says he's a friend of Mr. Huang and wants to see him!"

Gao Song frowned. He had been thinking of asking the receptionist to send the person away, but then he thought that his boss had many old friends. What if it really was a friend he hadn't contacted in a long time?

So I asked the receptionist, "What's your name?"

The receptionist replied, "He said his name is Ge Changli, Chang as in Yangtze River and Li as in standing."

"Please ask him to wait a moment." After hanging up the phone, Gao Song took the elevator down to the thirty-sixth floor.

A few minutes later, Gao Song appeared in the Overseas Asset Management Department. As he walked through the office area, the employees all stood up to greet him.

"Hello, Minister Gao!"

"Minister Gao!"

"Hello, Minister Gao!"

Gao Song smiled and responded to each of them, "Hello! Hello!"

When they arrived at the door of the office of the head of the overseas asset management department.

"Minister Gao is here! Please come in!" The secretary at the door greeted Gao Song warmly.

Gao Song asked with a smile, "Could you please inform Minister Mai that I need to speak with him about something?"

"No need, no need. Minister Mai said that there's no need to announce Minister Gao's arrival. You can just go in." The secretary quickly waved her hand and opened the door for him.

"Thank you!" Gao Song said to the secretary as he walked into Mai Guangde's office.

"Minister Gao, what brings you here? Does Mr. Huang have any instructions?" Upon seeing Gao Song, Mai Guangde quickly stood up to greet him.

Gao Song smiled and said, "No, no, I just wanted to ask you about something."

"Look at you, why did you have to make the trip yourself? You could have just made a phone call." Mai Guangde gestured for Gao Song to sit down.

Gao Song didn't sit down. He said, "I just came to ask you something. I'll leave after I ask. I just wanted to ask Mr. Huang if he had a friend named Ge Changli before?"

Mai Guangde was very familiar with Ge Changli, and he blurted out, "Mr. Ge! It's been so long since I heard from him. What happened to him?"

"The receptionist said he was in the lobby downstairs and wanted to see Mr. Huang, so I came to confirm with you," Gao Song explained the situation.

Mai Guangde told Gao Song everything he knew: "Mr. Ge and Mr. Huang had a very good personal relationship, but for some reason I haven't seen Mr. Ge since. However, as far as I know, he runs a factory in Suzhou and it's doing quite well."

After learning what he wanted to know, Gao Song smiled and said goodbye to Mai Guangde: "Minister Mai, thank you! I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

Mai Guangde patted Gao Song's arm with an understanding look: "I know you're a very busy man, brother. I'll treat you to tea when you have time."

"Okay! Then I'll wait!" Gao Song said and went back to the 48th floor.

He arrived at Huang Xiaochuan's office door, knocked gently, and then pushed the door open.

Huang Xiaochuan looked up and saw Gao Song enter. He knew something must have happened, so he casually asked, "What is it?"

Gao Song replied, "Mr. Huang, the receptionist said that a Mr. Ge Changli would like to see you, but he didn't make an appointment, so..."

Huang Xiaochuan suddenly raised his head: "Ge Changli?"

"Yes, he's in the lobby on the first floor. Mr. Huang, would you like to see him?" Gao Song asked cautiously, while observing Huang Xiaochuan's expression.

Huang Xiaochuan immediately stood up: "Quickly, invite him up here! Go and invite him up yourself!"

Gao Song quickly replied, "Okay, I'll go right now." After saying that, he turned around and went downstairs.

As I rushed towards the elevator, I kept thanking myself for being so careful and asking Mai Guangde beforehand, otherwise I would have made a mess of things again.

Meanwhile, Ge Changli was anxiously waiting in the rest area on the first floor. Ever since he felt the growing gap in status between himself and Huang Xiaochuan, he had intentionally or unintentionally cut off all contact between the two.

Especially when he learned from the news that the once sharp-eyed young man was now the richest man in Asia, the huge difference in their social status made him feel even more that his actions back then were the right thing to do.

He had no choice but to seek Huang Xiaochuan's help because of something he was desperate for. Of all the friends he had in his life, only Huang Xiaochuan had the ability to lend him a hand.

He was very uneasy. He didn't know if Huang Xiaochuan was willing to see him. He had no other choice but to swallow his pride and come to him.

Not long after, he heard the pretty young girls at the front desk greeting someone.

"Hello, Minister Gao!"

"Where is Mr. Ge?" Gao Song asked directly.

A young woman at the front desk, quick to notice, hurried over to Ge Changli: "Mr. Ge, Minister Gao wants to see you!"

Ge Changli didn't recognize Gao Song and looked at him blankly. The young girl next to him helped introduce him: "Mr. Ge, Minister Gao is our chairman's assistant."

Ge Changli quickly extended his hand: "Minister Gao, hello, hello!"

Gao Song didn't dare to be presumptuous and quickly grasped Ge Changli's hand: "Mr. Ge, you're too kind. You can just call me Xiao Gao or by my name."

"How dare I?" Ge Changli said, looking embarrassed.

The young women at the front desk secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Goodness, this Mr. Ge seems to be someone important! Luckily, they hadn't been disrespectful in their words!

As soon as Ge Changli entered Huang Xiaochuan's office, Huang Xiaochuan greeted him with a smile: "Old Ge, where have you been? I thought you'd forgotten about me. Please have a seat!" He then instructed Gao Song: "Gao Song, make me a cup of tea."

"Okay, Mr. Huang!" Gao Song readily agreed.

After sitting down, Ge Changli looked around the spacious and grand office with amazement, with an unobstructed view of the city outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

"Xiao Chuan, no, no, I should call you Chairman Huang!" Ge Changli realized his mistake as soon as he spoke and quickly changed his form of address.

Huang Xiaochuan chuckled and patted him on the shoulder: "Old Ge, what's wrong with you? Why are you being so formal with me? Don't be so formal, just call me by my name like before."

Huang Xiaochuan was very grateful to Ge Changli. Ge Changli had helped him a lot back then, and Huang Xiaochuan had always remembered this kindness. Ge Changli's sudden appearance today must mean he had something to ask for.

"Old Ge, how are your wife and child?"

Before Ge Changli could reply, Gao Song placed a cup of tea in front of him: "Mr. Ge, please have some tea!"

Ge Changli quickly bowed slightly, saying, "Thank you! Thank you!"

"Hey Lao Ge, what are you doing?" Seeing Ge Changli's restraint, Huang Xiaochuan pretended to be displeased.

At this moment, Gao Song quickly left the office. Through a series of observations, he knew that Mr. Ge must have come to ask for something, and he had to avoid him.

Sure enough, after Gao Song closed the office door, Ge Changli hesitated for a long time, looking like he wanted to say something but didn't dare to. This made Huang Xiaochuan very anxious.

"Hey Lao Ge, what are you being so hesitant about? Just tell me what you need. If it's something I can do, I'll definitely help you."

Hearing this, Lao Ge felt relieved. He hadn't expected that after several years, Huang Xiaochuan was still the same Huang Xiaochuan. His heart was warmed.

Huang Xiaochuan pressed his hand down, saying, "Old Ge, sit down. Why be so polite? Have some tea!"

After sitting down again, Ge Changli told her about the troubles she had encountered.
