Chapter 137: Planning to queue up
Before the final exams, Huang Xiaochuan had many things to do. For example, since it's inconvenient for private intercity transfers and remittances these days, Huang Xiaochuan had to go to the bank to apply for a bank draft, and then take the bank draft to a local bank in Shenzhen to open an account and deposit the money. Although it was cumbersome, it was a way to solve the problem.
You also need to bring your ID card and student ID to the police station to get a border pass. This border pass is valid for two months, which is exactly the length of a summer vacation.
After everything was settled, Huang Xiaochuan called Zeng Lijuan, his uncle and aunt, and his grandmother one by one.
Having timed it perfectly, Huang Xiaochuan made a phone call home first.
"Dad! It's me!"
"Xiao Chuan! Why are you calling now? You'll be on holiday in a few days, why are you calling?" Old Huang, who was reading the newspaper at home, didn't think much of the call from his son. After all, Huang Xiao Chuan would call home once a week, and the couple were already used to it.
"Dad, is Mom home?"
"Yes, do you want to talk to your mother? I'll go get her."
"No need, no need. Let me tell you first, and then I'll tell her later."
Upon hearing this, Old Huang knew that Huang Xiaochuan had something on his mind, so he asked, "What is it? Tell me?"
"I told you not long ago that an old professor at our school wanted to take me as a student! Professor Wang's second disciple, who is also my second senior brother, sent me an invitation to visit and study at Shenzhen University during the summer vacation. I couldn't refuse his kind invitation, and I also wanted to go and see for myself, so I plan to go to Shenzhen before going back."
Old Huang, upon hearing this was a serious matter, immediately agreed: "I agree. Studies are more important. Just tell your mom about it later. Wait a moment, I'll call her back to answer the phone; she's chatting with your Aunt Zheng upstairs!"
"Okay, sure!"
Old Huang hung up the phone, went outside, and called upstairs, "Lijuan, your son is on the phone."
Soon Zeng Lijuan came downstairs and asked Lao Huang, "Which one is it?"
Old Huang, holding the newspaper in both hands, casually said, "Which one else could it be? Of course, it's your youngest son. The eldest and second eldest mostly write letters, you know that, right?"
When Zeng Lijuan heard it was Huang Xiaochuan calling, she happily picked up the receiver: "Xiaochuan!"
Huang Xiaochuan repeated what he had just said to Lao Huang. Although Zeng Lijuan missed her son and was a little unhappy, it was ultimately about his future studies. Besides, it wasn't like he wasn't coming back; he had said he would come home as soon as things in Shenzhen were over.
However, Zeng Lijuan then worried about something else: "Xiao Chuan! The round-trip train tickets must cost a lot, right? I'll send you some more money. It's good to have some extra money in your pocket when you're traveling."
Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaochuan thought, "What a joke! How could I possibly be short of money? I absolutely will not take my parents' money. In fact, I should find a way to give them some back."
"Mom, you don't need to send me money anymore. I have money. I'll tell you if I run out. Don't send me any more, okay?"
Zeng Lijuan didn't suspect anything, because she knew that her younger brother, Huang Xiaochuan's uncle, never shortchanged his nephew in terms of money, and probably gave him plenty of it usually. Since her son said he had it, she would not give it to him for the time being.
Zeng Lijuan never imagined that her own son, Huang Xiaochuan, had so much money and was currently buying houses all over Shanghai for her to retire in! Not to mention her, even her younger brother, Zeng Jiahua, didn't know. Only Yu Xiang knew a little bit, but Yu Xiang didn't know the exact amount either.

After finishing his call with his parents, Huang Xiaochuan, out of politeness, also called Lao Yu and Aunt Zheng, telling them the same excuse that he would go home to see them as soon as he finished. The couple, of course, fully supported him, as studying was the most important thing. They never imagined that their eldest son-in-law was going to Shenzhen to seek his fortune.
Huang Xiaochuan is also looking for a suitable house for his parents-in-law so that they can come to Shanghai to live with his parents in the future. After all, the medical conditions here are much better than in Qingjiang. And if nothing unexpected happens, Yu Wei and Yu Xiang will both be working in Shanghai in the future, so he will definitely stay here too. Wherever his wife is, that's where he will be.
Since that's the case, wouldn't it be better if we were all in the same city? As for that petty Yu Min, let her stay in Qingjiang by herself! Someone has to stay and look after the house, right?
After speaking with his parents-in-law on the phone, Huang Xiaochuan called his uncle, aunt, and grandmother. They all expressed their full support for Huang Xiaochuan's trip to Shenzhen University, not just in words. Worried that Huang Xiaochuan might not have enough money, his aunt and grandmother asked his uncle to send the money to Huang Xiaochuan the next day.
How could I possibly accept this?! Are you kidding me? How could I, Huang Xiaochuan, a man with nearly ten million in assets, possibly spend my family's money? Don't you have any shame?
After successfully completing their last final exams of freshman year, 222 did not scatter like birds and beasts after the exams, but instead, at the suggestion of their class monitor Wu Duo, the group went to the City God Temple together.
Huang Xiaochuan was in charge of taking photos for everyone with his iPhone 6. But when Ding Yi saw Huang Xiaochuan's iPhone 6, he begged to be the photographer. After getting his hands on the iPhone 6, wow, he absolutely loved it.
This guy loves cameras. He originally said he would buy a good camera when he made money, but he invested the money in the stock market. His wish to buy a camera has not yet been fulfilled. When he saw Huang Xiaochuan's 6, he had to hurry up and get it to play with!
"Today, the film rolling and developing fees are all on me, so don't argue with me," Ding Yi shouted happily after receiving the 6.
Huang Xiaochuan naturally had no objection. This small amount of money was nothing to Ding Yi, a young tycoon from Shanghai, in his own words.
With stock prices soaring, Ding Yi now speaks with a certain air of sophistication.
"Help me out!" and "Don't bother me!" are just minor refrains. He has a whole bunch of catchphrases, and he's the loudest guy in the entire 222 dorm.
Not only have their stocks risen significantly, but they have also gained more and more experience, some from the stock market and others from discussions at salon gatherings. Now, all of the members of Group 222 are stock commentators, able to analyze the origins and current status of each of the eight classic stocks in great detail.
One reason why Wu Duo and the others didn't leave before finishing their exams was that they wanted to participate in the lottery to subscribe to stocks. Having tasted success, they currently hold stocks purchased from the secondary market, and apart from Ding Yi, they have never received any original shares.
The lottery system offered a chance to buy shares at a very low price, almost like receiving free money. Naturally, the group wanted to give it a try. Huang Xiaochuan had told them about it, but since he had already asked Sang Weihong to help him find someone to participate in the lottery and was heading to Shenzhen that day, he wouldn't be personally involved in the event.
Huang Xiaochuan finished his exams and was on vacation, and so was Yu Wei. However, this time he was going home by himself because Yu Xiang wasn't going back. Of course, Huang Xiaochuan wouldn't ask his uncle to borrow a car for Yu Wei; his brother-in-law wasn't influential enough to do that.
However, Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Xiang still took him to the bus station. Tang Yuan had been picked up by her older brother a day earlier, so the two of them, who were always together, would have to be separated for a while.
