Chapter 114: Couldn't Hold It In
Huang Xiaochuan had no choice but to sit there and listen, like a silent gourd.
When the old man got to the crucial point, she was so anxious that she scratched her head, but she didn't dare to stand up and ask questions. The old man was a man of his word; if he said he was going to kick you out, he would kick you out without hesitation.
This feeling was even worse than holding in urine. After finally getting through get out of class, Huang Xiaochuan made up his mind and followed Wang Deyi to his office.
After Wang Deyi entered the office, the office door was not closed.
Huang Xiaochuan craned his neck and peered inside for a while. Seeing that Wang Deyi didn't tell him to leave, he brazenly went inside.
Wang Deyi pretended not to see him and continued reading his book.
And so, one of them read a book while the other waited, and the room became incredibly quiet.
Unfortunately, the tranquility was shattered by Huang Xiaochuan's fart just over ten minutes later.
"Pfft pfft!"
Just by the smell, you could tell what Huang Xiaochuan had for lunch: braised pork with radish. The room was filled with the stench of rotten radish, and it quickly filled the small office.
Unable to bear the smell any longer, Wang Deyi kept fanning his nose with a book and then got up to open all the windows. It took several minutes for the indoor air to return to normal.
Unable to bear it any longer, Wang Deyi pointed at Huang Xiaochuan with the book in his hand and said, "I've figured it out now. Not only are you shameless, but your farts are also incredibly smelly."
Seeing that the old man had taken the initiative to speak to him, Huang Xiaochuan was delighted and chuckled, "The braised pork with radish made by the cafeteria chef today was delicious, I ate a bit too much and couldn't hold it in. I hope the smell didn't bother you, sir?"
"Tell me, what do you want by pestering me so many times?"
Upon hearing that the old man had relented, Huang Xiaochuan seized the opportunity and promptly took out his thesis from his bag, placing it respectfully on Wang Deyi's desk.
"Professor Wang, this is an article I wrote. A few months ago, I found in the newspaper that there was an intention to reform the tax system, so I took the liberty of doing some research and wrote some articles. This is my first time writing a paper, and I don't have much experience. I would like to ask you for some guidance."
Wang Deyi scrutinized the young man standing in front of him. He already knew Huang Xiaochuan's background well: a freshman in the 1990 Economics major, active in thinking, with his own unique insights into things, eloquent, and thick-skinned. Today, he made a new discovery: his farts smelled particularly bad.
Can a student like this really write a paper on tax reform independently? I just don't believe it.
Despite his doubts, Wang Deyi picked up the paper under Huang Xiaochuan's expectant gaze.
He put on his reading glasses and started reading. As he read, Wang Deyi became engrossed in it.
The room fell silent again. Huang Xiaochuan didn't dare to breathe, staring intently at Wang Deyi's face, trying to glean something from it, but unfortunately, he couldn't discern anything.
Huang Xiaochuan's paper begins with the origin of the tax-sharing system, describes its characteristics, the principles of dividing local and central taxes, and compares it with some countries in the world. All of this information was obtained by Huang Xiaochuan from the library. He also compared it with some regions and cities in my country. The relevant data was obtained by Huang Xiaochuan through Wu Duoding and Sang Weihong.
The paper also elaborates on the benefits of the tax-sharing system. In light of current social development, Huang Xiaochuan points out that the reform and implementation of the tax-sharing system is urgent, otherwise it may hinder the progress of reform.
It is based on facts and evidence, with relevant data for comparison, and the data model is drawn very clearly, making it easy for anyone to understand at a glance.
Wang Deyi spent nearly an hour reading through those twenty-odd pages.
The tea had gone cold, so Huang Xiaochuan quickly replaced it with a hot one.
After reading the paper, Wang Deyi was deeply impressed and asked, "Did you complete this all by yourself?"
Huang Xiaochuan humbly replied, "I asked a few classmates to help me get the relevant data, but I did the rest myself."
"Do you want the higher-ups to see your paper?" Wang Deyi suspected that Huang Xiaochuan might be trying to use his name to satisfy his own ambitions.
Having lived two lives, how could Huang Xiaochuan not understand this subtext? He then frankly replied, "Yes and no. Actually, I think from a broader perspective, my actions were merely going with the flow. Besides, as a Chinese person, it's always right to express one's own opinions, isn't it?"
"But I also know that it would be a pipe dream for someone of my status to do this, so I thought of you. After all, you wrote such an article in the early days of reform and opening up. I just wanted to use you to start a discussion."
Perhaps it was Huang Xiaochuan's honesty that moved Wang Deyi, or perhaps it was because he was in a good mood today. After thinking for a while, Wang Deyi said, "Leave the paper here with me, and I'll take a close look at it for you."
Huang Xiaochuan asked excitedly, "Really?"
Upon hearing Huang Xiaochuan's question, the old man bristled and glared, "Why would an old man like me lie to a kid like you? If you don't believe me, you can take the thesis."
"I believe you, I believe you. You've worked hard, I'll be going now!" Huang Xiaochuan left the house with a big smile, closing the door behind him.
Once outside, his true colors were revealed. He suddenly assumed a horse stance and even made a gesture: "Yay!" It would be a waste of youth not to indulge himself while he was young.
As it turned out, Wang Deyi heard all the commotion, shook his head with a helpless wry smile, and thought to himself, "This kid must be a monkey."
In the days that followed, Huang Xiaochuan set his sights on the stock market. With so much money in society, when the stamp market was doing well, money from the stock market naturally flowed into the stamp market, causing the stock market to decline.
For Huang Xiaochuan, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He decided to do the opposite of what others did: sell when prices were rising and buy when prices were falling.
He had already opened an account and transferred the money from his bank account to his stock account. Then he started buying everything he could, placing buy orders for all his stocks.
Excluding Sunday, in five days he bought a total of 400 shares of Yuyuan, 720 shares of Feile, and 650 shares of Electronic Vacuum, basically buying up all three stocks circulating in the market.
He once became a major shareholder with a shareholding of over 300,000 yuan. However, in order to conceal his identity, Huang Xiaochuan operated in the lobby. The account manager knew that such a person existed, but he did not know what he looked like.
The current stock trading center is somewhat similar to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The traders there all wear yellow vests, and all transactions are done manually, as computers are not yet widespread.
Huang Xiaochuan was unaware that someone had their eye on him, and even a VIP room had been reserved for him.
As the end of March approaches and temperatures gradually rise, Japanese adult films have started another round of price increases, this time with great momentum.
Taking this opportunity, Wu Duoding, Gao Lei, and Chen Zhe sold all the stamps in their hands.
Wu Duo started with 800 yuan and earned more than 20,000 yuan.
Ding Yi earned over 30,000, Chen Zhe over 7,000, and Zhang Gaolei 15,000.
Huang Xiaochuan sold the 1,020 Japanese adult films that he and his roommates had bought together, and got 38,000 yuan.
Wu Duo recorded all of this on the small blackboard.
Hao Zhidu, however, was feeling dejected in his rented apartment. Who knew that the price of Japanese porn had suddenly surged again, and even rebounded sharply, looking like it could surpass the fifty mark.
The 550 bronze chariots and horses I bought for 16 yuan each have dropped in price by 1 yuan each, meaning I've lost another 550 yuan. My assets are dwindling, it's really a terrible situation.
That night, the students in room 222 had a wild celebration in their dorm. Ding Yi excitedly banged his teacup on a washbasin, making such a loud noise that it attracted the attention of the student council officers. As a result, the next day, room 222 was publicly criticized by the entire department, and even the class monitor, Wu Duo, was dragged to the office and severely reprimanded by Dai Xiaoguang.
