Chapter 847: Heartless

Your one-stop haven for novel reading.

After exchanging pleasantries, the group got down to business. It wasn't complicated; the makeshift team that started with computer training classes had now become China's number one online gaming company and a leader in the education and training industry, and both were listed companies.

As the business developed, Ancheng and Jiao Zhiyong had the idea of ​​splitting up. It wasn't a true split, but rather a separation of the company's two main businesses: online games and education and training. They would then establish a separate education and training group, with each managing one part, so that they could each develop and grow in their respective fields.

An Cheng naturally continued to focus on the online gaming industry, while Jiao Zhiyong focused on developing the education and training industry.

Huang Xiaochuan is the major shareholder, so this matter naturally needs to be discussed with him first. As one of the shareholders, Ma Yifeng naturally follows Huang Xiaochuan's lead. As long as Huang Xiaochuan has no objection, he has no objection either. That's why the group agreed to meet at Ma Yifeng's place.

After listening to An Cheng and Jiao Zhiyong's ideas, Huang Xiaochuan casually waved his hand: "Okay, I have no objection. You can implement the specific plan yourselves." Although the education and training industry will be adjusted in more than ten years, it is indeed a very good business at present, so Huang Xiaochuan has no reason to oppose An Cheng and Jiao Zhiyong's approach.

Huang Xiaochuan didn't care about this business at all. Compared to his other businesses, he had no interest in it. Besides, the company had a sound financial and auditing system, so he didn't have to worry about the two of them playing any tricks. In short, everyone knows that there aren't many people who can gain Huang Xiaochuan's trust. Of course, those who can gain his trust only benefit and have no harm, while those who lose his trust can be said without exaggeration to say that they probably won't be able to do business with him in the future.

A major matter involving hundreds of millions of dollars was settled by the four of them in just a few words, and the whole process took no more than half an hour.

Once the business was over, Ma Yifeng extended an invitation: "Don't leave tonight, it's my treat! Eat whatever you like!"

"Oh! Professor Ma is treating us? Did the sun rise in the west today?" An Cheng teased him.

An Cheng's words immediately drew a retort from Ma Yifeng: "You! That's so annoying. If it weren't for Xiao Chuan's sake, I really wouldn't want to invite you." As he spoke, his face was full of disdain for An Cheng.

Huang Xiaochuan laughed and said, "Alright, alright, you're all in your fifties, is this funny? Old Ma, you can skip this meal for now, we'll treat you next time. I'll arrange it tonight, we'll go to my brother-in-law's place, I'll call him now."

As he spoke, he took out his phone and called Tang Jianhua. After hanging up, he told the three of them, "Alright, everything's arranged."

None of them were pretentious, and they had known each other for a long time and were familiar with each other's temperaments, so the other three unanimously agreed with Huang Xiaochuan's suggestion that it didn't matter who invited them, and they could always invite them back later.

Putting away his phone, Huang Xiaochuan said to Ma Yifeng, "Why don't you bring your Director Sang along tonight? We're all family here, so let's all bring our families and have a get-together."

Upon hearing this, Ma Yifeng laughed and said, "It's not up to me to decide; I need to make a phone call and ask for instructions."

An Cheng and Jiao Zhiyong both gave this guy a disdainful look; he was such a disgrace to men.

Now, thanks to her own abilities, Huang Xiaochuan's connections, and the support of her former boss Hong Yongze, Sang Weihong was promoted to deputy director of the school's student affairs office before the start of the spring semester. That's why Huang Xiaochuan calls her Director Sang.

Upon learning that Huang Xiaochuan was inviting several families to a get-together that evening, Sang Weihong immediately agreed. These days, she had fewer and fewer opportunities to see Huang Xiaochuan, and if she didn't agree, she would definitely be out of her mind.

Hearing Sang Weihong agree, Huang Xiaochuan took out his phone again: "Alright, even if our eldest brother doesn't mention the second brother, I'll make a call and ask for instructions too."

Then, in front of the group, he made a phone call to Yu Xiang.

"Tonight, drop Xiaodong and Xiaoduo off at your parents' place, then come over and have dinner together. There will be no outsiders. You can have a get-together with Lao Ma, Lao An, Lao Jiao, and their families at the Hua Hong flagship store."

Yu Xiang originally didn't want to participate, but after thinking about what happened today, she agreed after a moment's consideration: "Okay, you guys go ahead first, I'll go by myself later."

"Okay!" Huang Xiaochuan hung up the phone.

Seeing this, An Cheng and Jiao Zhiyong also took out their phones and called their respective wives.

Huang Xiaochuan then said to Ma Yifeng, "You guys keep chatting. Since we're already here, I'll go sit with my senior brother."

Ma Yifeng knew that Huang Xiaochuan was referring to Hong Yongze, so he naturally wouldn't stop him. He laughed and said, "You should go see him. If you don't go, Principal Hong will scold you."

However, Huang Xiaochuan first asked Ma Yifeng, "Is he here?"

Huang Xiaochuan nodded, waved to Ma Yifeng, An Cheng, and Jiao Zhiyong, and left the office.

The college administration building and the university administration building are about a seven or eight-minute walk apart. Huang Xiaochuan has been here for many years and naturally knows that there is a shortcut. He took the shortcut and arrived at Hong Yongze's office door in less than five minutes.

Hong Yongze's secretary, Su Yang, naturally recognized Huang Xiaochuan. When he suddenly appeared in front of him, he was startled for a moment, but then he smiled and quickly greeted Huang Xiaochuan.

"Professor Huang, you've arrived!" Su Yang knew that the person standing in front of him disliked being called Chairman Huang or General Manager Huang by acquaintances, but he couldn't call him by his name like others did, so he always addressed him as Professor Huang. Unexpectedly, Huang Xiaochuan seemed to enjoy it, and the news spread quickly, so people who were familiar with him generally called him that.

Huang Xiaochuan smiled and pointed inside the office: "Are you there?"

If it were anyone else, Su Yang might have made some excuse to decline, after all, the principal is very busy every day. But this person is different. As long as he comes, there is no need to announce his arrival. He can be respectfully escorted into the office. He and the person inside are close fellow disciples.

Sure enough, Hong Yongze, who was wearing reading glasses and seemed to be busy with something, immediately stood up with a big smile to greet Huang Xiaochuan, while Su Yanghe quickly went to make tea.

"You're a rare guest! What's wrong, have you had a change of heart? Remembered you have a senior brother here?" Hong Yongze teased Huang Xiaochuan as he gestured for him to sit down.

Huang Xiaochuan pretended to leave: "Hey senior brother, if that's what you're saying, then I'll leave right now. Good grief, I haven't even sat down yet, and you've already accused me of being heartless."

"Alright, alright, you have a conscience, you have the best conscience." Hong Yongze quickly pulled him back and persuaded him with kind words.

Huang Xiaochuan then sat down contentedly and said, "I arranged to meet with Lao An and Lao Jiao at Lao Ma's place to discuss some matters. I figured since I'm already here, I should pay my respects to the local official! Otherwise, people might find out later and accuse me of being heartless."

Hong Yongze, both amused and annoyed, pointed at the guy who was blatantly lying: "You!"

At this moment, Su Yanghe presented a cup of tea to Huang Xiaochuan: "Professor Huang, please have some tea!"

Huang Xiaochuan expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Xiao Su!"

"You're too kind!" Su Yanghe put down his teacup and went out, closing the door behind him.

Hong Yongze then asked, "Really nothing else?"

"I just came to see you, as if I have to ask you for something as soon as I arrive."

Hong Yongze smiled and extended an invitation: "Come to my house tonight. I'll have your sister-in-law make dumplings for you. Call your wife and kids and invite them over. Hong Yu will be there too, so let's all have a good time together."

Huang Xiaochuan looked apologetic: "Then we'll have to do it next time. I already have plans for tonight. I'm sorry, senior brother. Please go back and tell my sister-in-law that I'll choose an auspicious day to visit your house for dumplings. It'll be a way of showing respect for my sister-in-law's cooking skills."

Hong Yongze was both amused and exasperated. This guy even had to pick an auspicious day to come over for dumplings, which really made Hong Yongze laugh.

Huang Xiaochuan didn't stay long; it was just a courtesy visit. After all, it wouldn't be appropriate to come to the University of Finance and Economics without seeing Hong Yongze. The two brothers chatted about some trivial matters for about half an hour before Huang Xiaochuan got up to say goodbye.
