I'm back in 1990

Chapter 277: Clinging to a Powerful Figure

This is your treasure trove of urban novels.

On January 13, according to the itinerary, Huang Xiaochuan and Ding Yi will return to Shanghai today, while Ms. Catherine has other arrangements and will not be traveling with them.

After seeing Huang Xiaochuan off, a middle-aged woman walked up to Zhang Yun and said, "Miss, Madam wants you to go back today."

Zhang Yun frowned: "I understand."

Zhang Yun's mother, Xue Huilan, now resides in Singapore. Zhang Yun's maternal grandfather, Xue Xiangsheng, was a wealthy businessman in Southeast Asia with assets throughout the region.

Their family's story is a long one, involving events that occurred before the liberation. Zhang Yun's maternal grandfather, Xue Xiangsheng, was originally from Shanghai. Before the liberation, due to the needs of the family business, he was assigned by the family to do business in Southeast Asia. His wife and young daughter lived in Shanghai, and they were separated more often than they could be together.

Later, due to the war, Xue Xiangsheng lost contact with his wife and young daughter. After liberation, the country began to implement joint public-private ownership, which made Xue Xiangsheng, who had been observing the domestic situation in Southeast Asia, completely give up the idea of ​​returning to Shanghai.

Later, Xue Xiangsheng's daughter, Xue Huilan, who is Zhang Yun's mother, went to the Great Northern Wilderness during that chaotic era. There, she met Zhang Yun's father, Zhang Mingcheng, and the two married and had Zhang Yun. Later, Zhang Yun's father died young due to illness, leaving behind an orphan and a widow.

After the reform and opening up, Xue Xiangsheng, a wealthy businessman from Southeast Asia who had always missed his wife and daughter, returned to China to search for his relatives. After many twists and turns, he finally found his daughter Xue Huilan in 1983. However, his wife had already passed away. The scene of the father and daughter reuniting after being separated for many years was heartbreaking.

Xue Xiangsheng immediately brought his daughter Xue Huilan and granddaughter Zhang Yun from Northeast China to live in Singapore. However, Xue Xiangsheng had already remarried in Singapore. Unfortunately, he did not have many children, and only had one son, who was Xue Huilan's half-brother and Zhang Yun's uncle.

Xue Bingkang, who was born into a wealthy family, had no feelings for this suddenly appearing older sister, so their relationship was very bland and they had little contact in private. However, in order to make up for his debt to his daughter, Xue Xiangsheng not only changed his will to leave an estate for Xue Huilan and her daughter, but also purchased property for them in Singapore.

What followed was a series of dramatic family feuds, which, frankly, all boiled down to money.

Moreover, for her own future benefit, Xue Huilan wanted Zhang Yun to marry the son of another wealthy businessman. That's why Zhang Yun went to Shanghai and, with her excellent resume, secured a teaching position at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics. She also wanted to see what kind of place the old Shanghai that her mother had been talking about since she was a child really was.

Her mother, Xue Huilan, never gave up on her idea. This year, she used her grandfather's 76th birthday as an excuse to make her go back. Zhang Yun was extremely unwilling to go back, but if she didn't go back for her grandfather's birthday, people would say she was unfilial. So she decided to go through Hong Kong and stay there for a few days before going back. Firstly, she wanted to speculate on Hong Kong stocks to earn some pocket money. Secondly, her way of relieving her worries was to eat and shop, and Hong Kong was perfect for her.

Unexpectedly, she ran into her student on the plane, and it was someone who looked very pleasing to the eye. Moreover, Zhang Yun had always thought that Huang Xiaochuan was quite an interesting person. Every time she thought of Uncle Lei's joke, Zhang Yun's lips would curl up.

Women are also creatures of appearance; they like pretty things and handsome men. Zhang Yun was no exception. There was another reason that she didn't tell outsiders: Huang Xiaochuan looked a lot like her deceased father, Zhang Mingcheng.

What she didn't expect was that her student was truly a case of appearances being deceiving. How old was she? She was already proficient in securities and finance, and had even established a well-known brand clothing company in Hong Kong. It is worth noting that the sudden rise of the brand Baijiali has been cited as a case study by many business schools. Its GG model, marketing concepts, and creativity are all refreshing, and its novel clothing designs and accurate positioning of consumer groups make it a business model.

And this company actually belongs to her own student? Just how many secrets does he hold? Thinking of this, Zhang Yun's lips curled up and her eyes curved into a smile.

"Miss? Miss?"

Distracted from her thoughts, Zhang Yun glanced unhappily at the middle-aged woman beside her. This was her mother Xue Huilan's personal assistant, who had been sent to pick Zhang Yun up from Hong Kong because she hadn't returned yet. Zhang Yun felt annoyed whenever she saw her.

They brought more luggage on the return trip than they had on the way there, especially Ding Yi, who bought a huge amount of things, plus the dozen or so pieces of clothing he had extorted from Huang Xiaochuan. The amount of stuff exceeded their expectations.

After returning to Shanghai, Ding Yi immediately went back to the stock market and began a series of dazzling operations. He closed out all his stocks before the Spring Festival, just as the stock market was rising strongly. He cleared out all his stocks without much trouble.

When the stock market crashed in February, the mainland stock market continued to be in a bear market for three years. Ding Yi firmly established his reputation as a stock market guru. However, by the time everyone realized what was happening, Ding Yi had already moved on to Hong Kong stocks.

On the eve of the Lunar New Year, Huang Xiaochuan received a phone call from an unexpected visitor.

Huang Xiaochuan met Nan Hui at a teahouse.

"It's been a long time since I've seen the boss lady."

Nan Hui humbly replied, "Mr. Huang, you can just call me by my name."

"How about this? You're older than me, so I'll call you Sister Nan!"

Seeing that Nan Hui was still hesitant, Huang Xiaochuan made the final decision: "It's settled then."

Readers are hotly debating: What exactly happened? Join the discussion at Cola Novels.

Seeing that Huang Xiaochuan's attitude didn't seem fake, Nan Hui accepted it.

"Sister Nan, are you back for the New Year?" Huang Xiaochuan poured Nan Hui a cup of tea.

Nan Hui bowed slightly: "My mother is getting old and loves home. There's no place like home, so I'm coming back with her for the New Year."

Huang Xiaochuan laughed and said, "The older generation is like that. They believe in returning to their roots. My parents are the same. They always say that they will go back to their hometown to live out their retirement."

"Mr. Huang's parents must have been very kind, otherwise how could they have raised him to be so outstanding?"

Huang Xiaochuan couldn't help but think of his stern-faced father and his mother who always chased after him with a feather duster, and he couldn't help but chuckle.

After exchanging pleasantries, Huang Xiaochuan asked, "Sister Nan, you were looking for me?"

Huang Xiaochuan thought that Nan Hui had come to redeem the stamps she had sold to him.

Unexpectedly, Nan Hui came to invite him to join her.

Nan Hui placed an exquisite handbag on the tea table and pushed it in front of Huang Xiaochuan.

"Mr. Huang, I am so grateful for your kindness that has brought me to where I am today. This is a set of jewelry. Please pass it on to your wife as a small token of my appreciation."

Huang Xiaochuan didn't stand on ceremony and nodded: "Then I'll thank Sister Nan on behalf of my husband."

Huang Xiaochuan clearly sensed that Nan Hui's visit was not solely to express her gratitude; there must be other reasons behind it.

Sure enough, after a while, Nan Hui revealed her true purpose for coming to see Huang Xiaochuan.

"Mr. Huang, the reason I came back this time is actually to follow in your footsteps and do business."

Huang Xiaochuan: "???"

Huang Xiaochuan was completely bewildered. What was going on here?

After listening to Nan Hui's words for a while, Huang Xiaochuan finally understood what was going on.

Since Nan Hui met Huang Boyi, Huang Boyi told Nan Hui everything about his relationship with Huang Xiaochuan, and praised Huang Xiaochuan highly, calling him a once-in-a-century business genius.

Nan Hui felt the same way. Thinking back to the time she met Huang Xiaochuan, everything that had happened proved Huang Xiaochuan's excellence. Moreover, Huang Xiaochuan had helped her out of her predicament and given her a chance to start over.

Huang Xiaochuan was labeled as young, rich, capable, and loyal.

Through Huang Xiaochuan's connections and her own efforts, Nan Hui made a fortune again in the summer by using Shenzhen Stock Exchange subscription certificates. However, she knew she couldn't control the stock market, so she didn't delve deeper into it. This inadvertently allowed her to avoid the stock market crash.

She then followed Huang Xiaochuan's advice to investigate the Shenzhen real estate market, but the overwhelming amount of information left her unable to make sense of it. After all, her knowledge and experience made her somewhat bewildered when faced with a new industry.

Huang Boyi wasn't much better off. He had always been a clothing manufacturer, earning processing fees by getting orders from big brands. His vision had always been limited to clothing processing, and he could only look up to real estate.

Because the Hong Kong real estate market is a game for big shots, small businessmen like him can't afford to play it. So he knows that Hong Kong real estate is profitable, but he doesn't know the specific rules.

Last summer, Huang Xiaochuan's words opened a door for Huang Boyi and Nan Hui, but when they got to the door, they found that the threshold was too high and they couldn't get in.

After discussing it, the two realized that Huang Xiaochuan was the only one who could handle the matter. With him around, they would feel more confident. However, they also understood that it was impossible for Huang Xiaochuan to work for them. So, they decided to simply make Huang Xiaochuan their leader and let him steer the ship while they followed behind, doing odd jobs and running errands. Having been in business for many years, they understood a principle: it was much better to rely on someone powerful than to mess around on their own.

For example, if Nan Hui had just worked alone, she could at most make a living without worrying about food and clothing. But if she could get close to Huang Xiaochuan, she would definitely become a female tycoon in the future. She had personally experienced Huang Xiaochuan's terrifying ability to create wealth.

Huang Boyi also painted a picture for Nan Hui, showing the current status of Hong Kong real estate tycoons in Hong Kong. How big is Hong Kong? Compared to the whole of China, Hong Kong is nothing. The mainland market is the real market. According to the blueprint Huang Xiaochuan painted for them, even if they only take a little bit from it, they can earn wealth that they never dared to imagine in their lives.

However, they believed that they could not achieve this goal on their own; they thought that only under Huang Xiaochuan's leadership could they possibly succeed.

So Nan Hui came back this time specifically for Huang Xiaochuan.

After understanding Nan Hui's purpose, Huang Xiaochuan remained silent for a long time. He did not want to get involved in the real estate industry. Although the industry had contributed a lot to the country's GDP in a short period of time, the industry was also very complex.

After much deliberation, Huang Xiaochuan declined Nan Hui's suggestion.

However, Nan Hui did not intend to give up. She also expected Huang Xiaochuan to reject her, because last summer, Huang Xiaochuan had clearly stated that he was not interested in real estate. But that was not important. It takes three visits to Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage to persuade him to come out of seclusion!

Nan Hui had already prepared herself mentally for this trip. She would be staying in Shanghai for a while, and she had to do everything she could to get on board with Huang Xiaochuan. As long as Huang Xiaochuan agreed, Nan Hui would agree to any conditions.
