I'm back in 1990

Chapter 262: Introducing You to a Few Friends

During afternoon class, Ding Yi was clearly distracted, constantly scribbling on his notebook. Huang Xiaochuan secretly peeked at it, and although he covered his hand, he still saw it.

Damn! This guy is definitely horny. He's drawing a girl, even if it's just her back, but Huang Xiaochuan would bet anyone that Ding Yi is drawing Qi Huan.

Huang Xiaochuan vividly remembered Qi Huan's disheveled appearance that day. She was crying her eyes out, with a bandage on her nose and blood on her face, looking completely undignified. But today, he saw that Qi Huan was actually so gentle and dignified in her normal state. No wonder Ding Gungun had fallen for her.

Yu Wei has been grinning from ear to ear lately; he's struck it rich!

In August, no one bought the large-cap stocks that had won the lottery for the fourth time, such as Yuanshui and Shenergy. After observing for a few days, Yu Wei boldly borrowed a lottery winning certificate from a big investor in the VIP room for a ten-yuan loan fee and bought 22000 shares of Shenergy at an original price of 28 yuan per share.

Two days ago, Shenergy went public, just in time for a strong rebound in the Shanghai stock market. The stock price rose to 244 yuan per share as soon as it was listed. Yu Wei quickly sold all of the shares. He had invested more than 60,000 yuan a month ago, and now it had become more than 500,000 yuan, a return of seven or eight times.

On Sunday, he took Tangyuan to the No. 1 Department Store, bought several gifts, and then took them to Huang Xiaochuan's house.

Huang Xiaochuan was busy in the kitchen when Yu Xiang saw Yu Wei arrive, looking on with surprise: "You're here quite early today!"

Yu Wei casually handed the item in his hand to Yu Xiang: "Sister, this is a gift I bought for you."

Yu Xiang took them and looked at them; they were cosmetics and perfume.

She couldn't help but scold, "Why are you wasting money? I can't even use all the things your brother-in-law bought for me. I'll give them to Tangyuan to take back later."

Tang Yuan waved her hands repeatedly, "Sister, Yu Wei bought this especially for you, please accept it!"

Yu Wei also said, "His purchase is his, and mine is mine; they're not the same thing. Where is he?"

"He's in the kitchen! What's up? You want to go help him in the kitchen?"

Yu Wei ignored Yu Xiang's words and went straight to the kitchen.

At this moment, Tang Yuan grabbed Yu Xiang's arm and began to complain: "Yu Wei has made some money these past few days and he's lost all sense of direction. Sister, you must talk to him about it later."

"What did he do now?"

"He made some money from stock trading, and now he acts all high and mighty."

Knowing Yu Wei's temperament well, Yu Xiang patted Tang Yuan's hand: "Don't worry, I'll talk to him about it later."

Huang Xiaochuan was busy cleaning the ribbonfish when Yu Wei entered the kitchen.

"You're here!" Huang Xiaochuan greeted Yu Wei casually upon hearing the voice.

Yu Wei leaned closer and asked, "Has Ding Yi said anything to you lately?"

Huang Xiaochuan didn't even look up: "What did you say? You didn't say anything to me?"

Recently, Ding Yi has been absent-minded every day. Huang Xiaochuan could tell from his appearance that the guy had fallen for someone he didn't like. When Yu Wei asked him about it today, Huang Xiaochuan thought that Ding Yi had said something to Yu Wei.

"I've sold my stocks," Yu Wei kept reminding Huang Xiaochuan.

Huang Xiaochuan remained busy with his work and did not respond to Yu Wei's words, which immediately gave Yu Wei a sense of frustration, as if his talent had been wasted.

He didn't even consider that discussing stocks in front of Huang Xiaochuan was no different from showing off one's skills in front of Guan Yu.

After cleaning the ribbonfish, Huang Xiaochuan washed his hands and then asked, "You made money, right?"

Yu Wei immediately became excited.

"Yeah, yeah! Do you know how much money I made this time?"

Huang Xiaochuan glanced at Yu Wei with a mocking expression: "How much?"

"After deducting the principal, I made nearly half a million. Pretty impressive, right?"

Huang Xiaochuan nodded: "Not bad!"

Yu Wei was overjoyed to hear Huang Xiaochuan acknowledge his achievement!

He then talked at length with Huang Xiaochuan about his future ideas for the stock market, and he planned to turn 500,000 into 5 million within a year.

However, Huang Xiaochuan immediately poured cold water on Yu Wei's idea.

He said to Yu Wei, "I suggest you follow Ding Yi's lead. Buy whatever he buys, and sell whenever he sells. Do you know why? Because your money this time was due to luck, not your understanding of stocks. Ding Yi's understanding of stocks and his stock trading skills far surpass yours. So from now on, just follow his lead and don't make any rash decisions on your own."

"I understand!" Yu Wei replied reluctantly to Huang Xiaochuan, though he inwardly disagreed with Huang Xiaochuan's words. "We all have eyes and mouths, why am I inferior to Ding Yi? I made 500,000 on my first trade, and you still say I don't understand stocks? Pshaw!"

After lunch, Yu Wei hurriedly left with Tang Yuan, without Yu Xiang even having a chance to say anything to him.

"Where did Yu Wei and the other guy go? Why did they leave so early?" Yu Xiang asked Huang Xiaochuan while clearing away the dishes.

"I have to say, you're such a worrywart as the older sister. Maybe they had something to do at noon and left a little early, isn't that perfectly normal?"

"Did you know that Yu Wei made money from stock trading?"

Huang Xiaochuan, fiddling with the TV remote, casually replied, "I know, he came in today and immediately told me he made a lot of money on stocks."

"Did you notice that he didn't mention this to me while we were eating? Tang Yuan told me when we arrived. And since he told you, why couldn't he tell me?" Yu Xiang felt that something was off with Yu Wei. Given his personality, he would definitely brag about this to his family. Why didn't he tell her?

"My dear wife! You have to fuss over something so small? Fine, I'll call him back now and tell you myself, okay?"

Yu Xiang glared at Huang Xiaochuan with displeasure, then took the bowls and chopsticks and went into the kitchen.

Huang Xiaochuan smiled and shook his head, then continued watching TV.

Just then, the mobile phone rang. Huang Xiaochuan picked it up from beside him and pressed the answer button.

"Hello!"

Ge Changli's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiao Chuan, are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to dinner."

"Old Ge, why did you suddenly decide to invite me to dinner when it's neither a holiday nor a festival?"

"Since it's Sunday, I'd like to invite you to get together tonight. I can also introduce you to some of my friends."

Huang Xiaochuan readily agreed: "Sure! Where tonight?"

"Chunhua Restaurant is known for serving the best local Shanghai cuisine in Shanghai. The head chef used to be the head chef at the Xijiao Hotel, but now he's retired and runs his own restaurant with his son."

"That's great! I definitely have to try it!"

Shortly after hanging up the phone, Yu Xiang finished her work and came out of the kitchen with two peeled apples. She sat down next to Huang Xiaochuan and handed him one of the apples.

Whose call was it?

"Old Ge from the foreign trade company said he'd treat me to dinner tonight."

After hearing this, Yu Xiang added, "Oh, drink less tonight and come back early!"

Since it was just the two of them at home, Huang Xiaochuan started joking with Yu Xiang: "Don't worry! I don't have many other good qualities, but I listen to my wife!"

Yu Xiang was amused by Huang Xiaochuan's words: "I just find it strange! You weren't like this when you were little. How come you're so good at sweet-talking people now?"

Huang Xiaochuan sat up straight with a serious expression: "That's because my wife raised me well!"

The result was a slap from Yu Xiang: "You, with that mouth of yours, you can charm anyone to death!"
