Chapter 470: I couldn't resist showing off a little.
Huang Xiaochuan arrived home quite late that evening. When he got home, Yu Wei and Tang Yuan were talking to Yu Xiang in the living room, while the three children were playing in the toy room next door with the nanny.
Huang Xiaochuan, who hadn't seen Yu Wei for a while, teased him, "Huh? Did the sun rise in the west today? What brings your brother-in-law here?"
Yu Wei retorted sharply, "How annoying is what you're saying? Can't I come to see my sister and nephew?"
Huang Xiaochuan laughed and said, "Don't leave tonight, let's have a drink together. It's been a while since we drank together."
"Don't worry, I'm definitely not leaving. I came here to have a drink with you anyway."
Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaochuan quickly looked at Yu Wei's face again. It seemed like something was wrong with the kid.
"So, what good news is it?"
Yu Wei feigned nonchalance: "It's not really anything to celebrate! I've just been included in the list of reserve cadres for promotion."
"That's all?" Huang Xiaochuan thought there was some great news, but it turned out to be just this?
Seeing Huang Xiaochuan's nonchalant attitude, Yu Wei got angry.
"What do you know! This means that the division-level position is already beckoning to me. In ten years at most, or six or seven years at least, I'll be a division-level cadre. How old will I be then? Young, understand?"
Huang Xiaochuan decided to show Yu Wei what it meant to be outmatched: "Tch! You really haven't seen much of the world. Let me ask you, have you ever seen an associate professor in his twenties?"
"Pah! You're bragging without even thinking. A twenty-something-year-old associate professor? Why don't you just say a teenage county magistrate?" Yu Wei didn't believe Huang Xiaochuan's words at all, his face full of disdain.
"Hey! I bet you're like a duck, you'll fall out of your beak."
Huang Xiaochuan then took out the application materials for associate professor title from his briefcase.
"It's all in black and white, go see for yourself, I am that associate professor in my twenties." Huang Xiaochuan said, pointing to himself with his thumb.
Yu Wei took a look and it was indeed true, but he quickly discovered the flaw.
"You're talking nonsense! This is just your application material, not the approval document. With your qualifications, you're not even a lecturer, let alone an associate professor? You're just dreaming!"
Huang Xiaochuan took the document from Yu Wei with a disdainful look and put it back in his briefcase.
"Believe it or not, do you dare to make a bet with me?"
Upon hearing that Huang Xiaochuan wanted to make a bet with him, Yu Wei began to feel a little insecure, because he had made countless bets with Huang Xiaochuan since childhood, and he had almost always lost.
However, he was still somewhat skeptical. He had never heard of a teaching assistant being able to directly apply for an associate professor title. He didn't meet any of the requirements.
Although he pursued an administrative career, he still had some knowledge of the professional title evaluation system for public sector employees.
Yu Wei scratched his head, thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with a solution. He felt like his brain wasn't working properly.
However, out of respect for Huang Xiaochuan's past record, Yu Wei still didn't challenge Huang Xiaochuan to a match.
Seeing that Yu Wei hadn't taken the bait, Huang Xiaochuan felt a little bored.
Just then, the nanny came to Yu Xiang and said, "Dr. Yu, the dishes are all on the table, we can eat now!"
Yu Xiang turned to her husband and younger brother and said, "Let's eat. You two can continue arguing after you've eaten your fill. How old are you? Still acting like a child, how childish!"
Tang Yuan chimed in, "Men! They're still like children even when they're old; they never grow up."
They heard what Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Wei were saying, but they automatically ignored what the two men were saying. Now that they were both new mothers, their biggest concern was their children, so naturally, their conversation revolved around them.
"Big sister, your man said he'll be an associate professor soon, do you believe him?" Yu Wei ignored Yu Xiang and Tang Yuan's mockery of him and instead tried to get Yu Xiang to confirm whether Huang Xiaochuan was bragging.
"Why are you talking so much? Aren't you going to eat or not?" Yu Xiang glared at Yu Wei with displeasure.
Yu Wei shrank his neck; the bloodline suppression ingrained in his bones was no joke.
He didn't dare to provoke Yu Xiang, but he dared to provoke his brother-in-law.
"Hey Huang, you're almost an associate professor now, don't try to fool me with Yanghe or Luzhou Laojiao, I need Moutai tonight."
Huang Xiaochuan gave Yu Wei an annoyed look: "Don't you know where my wine is kept? If you want some, go get it yourself. You're acting like a big shot. I'm not going to serve you."
Yu Xiang then reminded the two of them, "Both of you should drink less tonight, especially Yu Wei, you have to go home tonight."
Huang Xiaochuan then chimed in, "It's not like there aren't any spare rooms at home. We can just stay here tonight."
Hearing this, Yu Wei also became arrogant: "That's right, you have so many rooms, I can just stay one night."
Yu Xiang slapped Huang Xiaochuan on the back in anger: "You talk too much."
Tang Yuan warned Yu Wei, "Let me tell you, your son is a light sleeper. If he makes a fuss at night after we move, I won't be responsible for comforting him!"
Yu Wei immediately wilted: "Okay, okay!"
While drinking with Huang Xiaochuan, Yu Wei complained, "See? How did Tang Yuan treat me before we got married? And how has she treated me after we got married and had a child? It's a nightmare!"
Tang Yuan said angrily to Yu Xiang, "Big sister, look at you, you've drunk too much again."
After seeing Yu Wei and his family off, Yu Xiang put Xiao Dong and Xiao Duo to sleep and asked Huang Xiaochuan, "What you told Yu Wei was true or false?"
While Yu Xiang was comforting the child, Huang Xiaochuan took a shower, and by then he was half sober.
"Of course it's true. I've confirmed it with my teacher and my senior."
Yu Xiang was puzzled. Their hospital, like universities, also had a professional title evaluation system. According to the requirements for professional title evaluation, Huang Xiaochuan's current qualifications should only allow him to apply for an intermediate professional title. How could he apply for an associate senior professional title?
"Why? This is the first time I've heard of a situation like yours."
Huang Xiaochuan briefly explained the situation to Yu Xiang: "Last year, I wrote a paper on preventing financial crises based on my research. This time, Hong Kong happened to encounter the impact of international capital. The authorities used some suggestions from my paper to repel these international capitals and prevented Hong Kong's financial system from being severely damaged."
The promotion to associate senior professional title was arranged by my superiors, which can be considered a reward for me! However, apart from not meeting some basic requirements, such as intermediate professional title and years of experience, I meet all the other requirements.
When Yu Xiang heard that this was true, she was overjoyed.
"So you'll be an associate professor soon?"
Seeing Yu Xiang's admiring look, Huang Xiaochuan's vanity soared, giving him a sense of satisfaction that surpassed even earning hundreds of millions: "Absolutely!"
However, he still reminded Yu Xiang, "Don't go around telling everyone. It's just a rumor; it hasn't been officially awarded yet."
"I know!" Yu Xiang gave Huang Xiaochuan a reproachful look.
