Chapter 220: Thanks
This time, Huang Xiaochuan can purchase 4930 shares of Shanghai Light Machinery and 4610 shares of Shanghai United Textile.
The other three stocks had later sales dates and were underwritten by Wanguo Securities and Haitong Securities.
Huang Xiaochuan paid a total of 311620 yuan for 23 shares of Shanghai Light Machinery and 43 shares of Shanghai United Textile.
Because of the presence of Ding Yi and Huang Xiaochuan, two major investors, the group spent an entire afternoon completing the new stock transaction. Only after leaving the stock exchange did they breathe a sigh of relief.
Before they left, Yuan Chen gave each of them a business card, hoping that they would come to Shenyin to open an account in the future. He promised to give them a warm welcome and even provide them with a private VIP room.
He Guang waited outside the main gate to meet up with Huang Xiaochuan and his group, while Zhang Yun had already left.
Having shaken off a group of piling agents who came to buy the subscription certificates, Huang Xiaochuan and his entourage returned home with a full load.
On the way, Ding Yi started to get excited again and began to boast.
"Damn it! I dumped a hundred subscription certificates on the table, and those guys from Shenyin were completely dumbfounded. If I hadn't woken them up, their brains would probably have turned to mush."
Zhang Gaolei was also quite excited today. He said, "That woman just now held up my ID card and looked at me repeatedly. Do you think she's interested in me?"
Wu Duo couldn't stand it anymore and poured cold water on her: "Give me a break! She was just curious about your student status, that's all. Don't overthink it. When I was processing the paperwork for buying new shares, she even asked me where my subscription certificate came from. I just said I was handling it for someone else and was earning a delivery fee."
As Huang Xiaochuan drove, he said, "The squad leader is the most reliable. He mixes truth and falsehood, making it hard for others to understand. Old Zhang, you're too honest. I think if that woman slipped you a note, you might give away your twenty years of virginity to someone else tonight and say goodbye to your twenty-year career."
Everyone in the car laughed, and Zhang Gaolei chuckled along.
Ding Yi suggested, "How about we go out to celebrate tonight? It's been so long since we've been to Huanghe Road, let's have some fun tonight! My treat!"
Wu Duo shook his head in opposition: "I think it's better not to go. Let's keep a low profile these days! Lao Ding, don't you know what it means to be a big catch? If you want to celebrate, go to the small restaurant in the school cafeteria later and order a lot of dishes. Eat as much as you want. If you're not satisfied, we can go back to the dorm to eat."
Chen Zhe also said, "I think the class monitor is right. Let's go back to school! It's not safe for us to run around outside with so many subscription certificates."
While he was surrounded by a group of pile drivers, someone had already bid 1,100. Chen Zhe had 400 certificates, which meant that these 400 subscription certificates were already worth 440,000.
With 440,000 yuan in his bag, Chen Zhe dared not linger outside!
Zhang Gaolei agreed with Wu Duo's suggestion. Ding Yi thought about it and realized that it was indeed inappropriate to carry a large bag of subscription certificates around.
Finally, the group decided to take their food containers to a small restaurant to pack food to take back to their dorm.
Huang Xiaochuan first dropped Wu Duo and the other two off at the school gate. Then, he asked Yang Junmin to take Ding Yi home so that he could return the subscription certificate first, and then take him back to the school. Huang Xiaochuan then drove to the old apartment building alone.
Yu Xiang hadn't returned yet. After putting the subscription certificate back into the safe in the cloakroom, Huang Xiaochuan left.
Of course, the car couldn't be driven to the school, so Huang Xiaochuan parked it at Wenyuan and took his old Phoenix bicycle back to school.
When we got to the dorm, the dishes were already on the table, and there was a hot pot bubbling away in the middle.
Zhang Gaolei and Chen Zhe were busy distributing tableware, and Wu Duo was moving chairs, but Ding Yi was nowhere to be seen.
Huang Xiaochuan asked, "Where's Lao Ding? Hasn't he come back yet?"
Just then, Ding Yi's voice came from behind: "Coming, coming! What's the rush! Look what I brought!"
Huang Xiaochuan turned around and saw Ding Yi carrying two bottles of Moutai in one hand and a ten-bottle pack of beer in the other.
He quickly stepped forward to help catch the pitcher of beer.
Since they didn't have proper wine glasses, they used their own toothbrush mugs to hold the wine.
Wu Duo poured beer for Chen Zhe and handed him Chen Zhe's toothbrush mug.
"Old Chen, if you can't hold your liquor, try some beer!"
Chen Zhe took it and asked with a smile, "Squad leader, did you fill my beer glass?"
Wu Duo simply gave the remaining bottle of beer to Chen Zhe: "If you think it's not enough, take the whole bottle. Pour yourself as much as you want, and there'll be more if you're still hungry. Anyway, we're in the dorm, so if you drink too much, you can just lie down on the bed right there, saving us the trouble!"
Huang Xiaochuan asked again, "Is the door locked?"
Ding, who was closest to the door, turned around and looked: "It's locked from the inside. Eat now!"
In the following days, Chen Zhe and Zhang Gaolei carried the subscription certificate with them wherever they went, and they felt safe only when they slept with it in their arms. Moreover, dormitory 222 was closed to visitors. Zhang Gaolei, who was good at calligraphy, wrote "In seclusion for cultivation, do not disturb!" on a piece of paper and pasted it on the door.
The last class on Saturday morning was statistics. After class, Zhang Yun stayed on the podium and kept an eye on Huang Xiaochuan.
Huang Xiaochuan pretended not to see and prepared to leave with Wu Duo and the others.
"Huang Xiaochuan!" Seeing that Huang Xiaochuan wasn't looking in her direction, Zhang Yun called out to him.
Seeing this, Ding Yi and the others winked at Huang Xiaochuan, telling him to fend for himself, and then the disloyal ones all ran away.
Huang Xiaochuan had no choice but to stay behind alone: "Teacher Zhang, is there something you need?"
Zhang Yun clutched the lecture notes to her chest and looked at Huang Xiaochuan, saying, "I wouldn't even see you if it weren't for class. Come on! Come with me, I'll treat you to lunch!"
Huang Xiaochuan pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Teacher Zhang, I've already made plans to have lunch with my roommates, so please don't spend the money! If there's nothing else, I'll be going now." After saying that, Huang Xiaochuan tried to leave.
"Wait a minute, what's the rush? I haven't finished speaking yet!" Zhang Yun blocked Huang Xiaochuan's path.
Huang Xiaochuan had no choice but to stop and look at Zhang Yun, to see what she was going to say.
"I have something I want to talk to you about. Since you're going to eat lunch anyway, we can talk while you eat. Your roommates are with you every day, so they won't say anything if you miss this one time. Besides, you can just tell them you were with me at lunchtime!"
It seemed there was no way to avoid it. Seeing that Zhang Yun wouldn't let him go, Huang Xiaochuan thought for a moment and then agreed. It was just a matter of asking about the subscription certificate. He would then push the blame onto his uncle and fool her!
Seeing Huang Xiaochuan nod in agreement, Zhang Yun smiled and asked, "What would you like to eat? Pick whatever you like, don't worry about saving me money. Consider this meal my way of thanking you for saving me."
"Teacher Zhang, there's no such thing as a rescue! I just happened to be there. If I hadn't been there, someone else would have come to your rescue. I even saw a few young men eager to help you, but I beat them to it. Thinking about it now, I feel really bad for those young men, ruining their good intentions!"
Hearing Huang Xiaochuan's words, Zhang Yun laughed so hard she almost fell over.
Huang Xiaochuan looked puzzled. Was this teacher's threshold for laughter really that low? I don't think I told her any jokes.
After laughing to her heart's content, Zhang Yun continued, "Alright! Hurry up and tell me what you want to eat?"
Huang Xiaochuan tentatively asked, "Anything is fine?"
Zhang Yun waved her hand: "You can choose any spot around our school."
Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaochuan couldn't help but complain in his heart. Around the school, the most two people could afford was no more than fifty yuan. There were only small restaurants or snack shops, not any proper big restaurants.
"How about knife-cut noodles then? The knife-cut noodles at that place outside the West Gate are pretty authentic, shall we go there?"
"I'll give you one more chance. Choose one again."
Huang Xiaochuan waved his hand and said, "I'm not picky anymore, just knife-cut noodles, with extra meat sauce and two eggs."
"Alright, you lead the way!"
