I'm back in 1990

Chapter 443: Chen Zhe's Troubles

Summer vacation arrived in the blink of an eye, and Huang Xiaochuan went to Wang Deyi's office.

The old man is exercising. Because he often works at a desk, his cervical spine is not very good. The doctor suggested that he do cervical spine exercises every day to relieve his discomfort.

"Grandpa, the holiday is coming soon. Why don't you go to Taihu Sanatorium for some rest and recuperation, and get your neck treated while you're at it?"

The old man twisted his neck back and forth: "It's nothing, just move around more. Don't waste that money. You'd be better off donating more to build schools in the southwestern mountainous areas."

"Let's keep things separate. We've donated a lot to build schools every year, so don't worry about it. Your cervical spondylosis is no small matter. Listen to me, we'll go during the holidays. You've been before, and it won't interfere with your studies."

"Besides, Dr. Gu at the sanatorium seems to have a bit of a thing for you. Dr. Gu is only around fifty, about ten years younger than you. If this works out, you'll be getting a great deal. How about I act as a go-between for you two?"

The old man's blood pressure shot up. This wayward disciple of his was always thinking about finding him a wife. Was he perhaps a reincarnation of a matchmaker?

"Don't worry about me, I'm doing just fine. How's your project progressing?"

"I came to see you to report this matter!"

Wang Deyi sat down in his chair, picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, "Then you speak!"

Huang Xiaochuan picked up a thermos bottle by the door and filled Wang Deyi's teacup.

Then he said, "My research topic is about the impact of the Southeast Asian financial crisis on our country! I plan to go to Hong Kong in September or October to conduct some social surveys and get a firsthand understanding of the relevant data."

Secondly, as you know, my wife's due date is around that time, and I'm planning to take her to Hong Kong to give birth. After all, the conditions there are better. You wouldn't believe it! My wife is as big as an elephant right now; carrying twins is so painful, and I imagine the delivery won't be easy either. So, I'll take her to Hong Kong. I heard they have painless childbirth there.”

Upon hearing that it concerned his apprentice's wife giving birth, Wang Deyi agreed without hesitation.

"You have to go. Just bring your wife. I'll take care of things at school. Just write a leave note and submit it to your department. I'll cover your classes."

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Huang Xiaochuan grinned and said, "Okay, I'll write a leave request after school starts."

The two men in the Yu family were of no help at all in taking care of the child. Seeing that Zheng Aiying was too busy to manage on her own, Huang Xiaochuan arranged for two maids from his own home to help at Yu Wei's house. They would mainly work during the day and not stay at Yu Wei's house at night, which made Zheng Aiying much more relaxed.

She angrily complained to her son, "Your brother-in-law is the only one who cares about me. Look at you! You're such an ingrate. You don't even ask about the child. You just dump him on me and your wife."

Yu Wei shrank back, ignoring his mother's complaints, and dared not utter a single word.

Meanwhile, Huang Xiaochuan's elderly mother, Zeng Lijuan, was at Huang Xiaochuan's home discussing something with him.

"Think of a way to get your sister-in-law's job transferred to Shanghai. Your brother won't stay in the army forever; he'll eventually be demobilized. I've inquired, and it's possible to transfer and be resettled based on the family's registered residence. Your sister-in-law's household registration has already been transferred to Shanghai. If you can get her job sorted out, then your brother can come directly to Shanghai after his demobilization."

Huang Xiaochuan knew that his mother was reluctant to part with her eldest son and grandson. After all, parents always hope that their children can live closer to them. Moreover, his mother hadn't seen Huang Zemian for a while, and she missed her precious grandson, whom she had raised single-handedly. If Yu Xiang hadn't been pregnant, she would have wanted to go back to Qingjiang to stay for a while.

Huang Zemian didn't come to Shanghai with Zeng Lijuan mainly because Jiang Rong couldn't bear to part with him, and also because Huang Zemian was about to start daycare, so Jiang Rong planned to send him to the kindergarten affiliated with her school.

Furthermore, Zeng Hong and Zeng Xia were transferred to Shanghai through Huang Xiaochuan's connections. Since he could transfer his two older sisters to work in Shanghai, he should be able to do the same for his sister-in-law. So Zeng Lijuan told Huang Xiaochuan about this idea.

After considering it for a moment, Huang Xiaochuan agreed.

"Alright! I'll give it a try."

The next day, Huang Xiaochuan went to Ding Yi's office in the Shanghai Building.

Ding Yi was quite surprised to see Huang Xiaochuan.

"Wow, what a rare guest! What brings you here?"

Huang Xiaochuan looked around Ding Yi's office, which had been renovated and looked quite luxurious.

"Of course I need to talk to you."

Upon hearing this, Ding Yi immediately looked at Huang Xiaochuan with disdain: "You only think of coming to my place when you have something to do; otherwise, you're nowhere to be seen."

"Alright, alright, we're both equally guilty, so let's stop arguing. So, what did you come to see me about?"

Huang Xiaochuan threw the bag in his hand onto Ding Yi's desk.

"Please do me a favor. My mom told me last night that I need to find a way to transfer my sister-in-law's job to Shanghai. Since my mom asked, I definitely have to do it! That's why I came to you. There's money and cards in my bag, you can use them as you like. If you need more, just let me know."

Upon hearing this, Ding Yi agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, for Auntie's sake, I'll go and give it a try. But has Sister-in-law said which company she wants to work for?"

Huang Xiaochuan thought for a moment: "My sister-in-law is a teacher, so let her go back to her old profession!"

"Okay, I got it. Don't leave tonight, it's my treat. Invite Chen Zhe along too, it's been a long time since I've seen him."

"Alright, I'll go along with whatever you say tonight."

When the three of them got together that evening, Chen Zhe brought up something that was troubling him.

"Chen Qiao wants to study abroad and insists that I go with her, but I don't want to go."

As the saying goes, it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage. The two were already talking about marriage, and it would be a pity if they broke up because of this. So Huang Xiaochuan gently advised, "Then why don't you go with her? I guess it's because your Chen Qiao has never been abroad and is curious about foreign countries. You can go with her for a few years and come back when she's had enough."

Ding Yi also advised, "What the big boss said is true. Going out to see the world isn't a bad thing. You can stay for a few years and then come back. It's not like we're asking you to immigrate, so what are you afraid of!"

Chen Zhe was somewhat annoyed: "Is it really that good abroad? Why does everyone want to go?"

Huang Xiaochuan stretched out his hand: "Stop. What do you mean by wanting to go out? There are plenty of people who don't want to go out, okay? But going out isn't necessarily a bad thing. We need to look at this issue objectively. We have to admit that in many fields, foreign technology and concepts are far superior to ours. We can't just stay stagnant, can we? Someone has to go out and learn these technologies and concepts, learn from each other's strengths and make up for our weaknesses! There's nothing wrong with that. Just go ahead and see the world. There's nothing wrong with that."

Ding Yi chimed in, "That's right. Going abroad is a piece of cake for you, Lao Chen. Go ahead! But you can call Lao Wu again and ask him to give you some advice and send you some information about relevant schools so you can choose one yourself."

Huang Xiaochuan nodded: "Old Ding is right. School and major are very important. You can listen to Old Wu's opinion on this. Besides, Old Zhang and Old Wu are both in the United States, so you'll have someone to look after you when you go there."

Chen Zhe was somewhat persuaded by the two: "Then I'll think about it!"

"This is a big deal and needs to be carefully considered. However, you can contact Lao Wu first and ask him to send you the information. Then you can discuss it with Chen Qiao."

"Okay! I'll call him tomorrow morning."
