Chapter 1136: Yavin's Choice
After multiple rounds of negotiations, Chen Zhe and Chen Qiao finally reached an out-of-court settlement.
The main reason is that Chen Zhe promised to repay Chen Qiao's debts and also bought her a series of insurance policies. When Chen Qiao turns sixty-five, she will be able to receive a pension and lifelong medical insurance as a guarantee for her future life.
Chen Zhe agreed with Huang Xiaochuan; problems that could be solved with money should be solved with money. Of course, all his decisions were made after discussing them with his current wife, Cheng Ling. Chen Zhe valued this second marriage very much.
Chen Wuhen and he reached an agreement.
Chen Zhe agreed to Chen Wuhen's request, saying that it was just a temporary change of location and that Chen Wuhen could choose which university he would attend in the future, provided that his academic performance remained excellent.
Before leaving, Chen Wuhen said goodbye to his girlfriend Stella.
"I'm going to live in China with my father..."
Stella shrugged indifferently: "I know, you told me that before."
Chen Wuhen was somewhat unable to accept his girlfriend's reaction: "Aren't you sad?"
Stella, seemingly unfazed, said, "Why should I be sad? You have the right to choose your life, and so do I."
Chen Wuhen said sullenly, "Alright then, good luck!"
"The same to you!"
Their relationship ended just like that. On the way home, Chen Wuhen felt no sadness at all, as if the relationship had never happened.
......
On August 17th, Zhang Yun suddenly arrived in Shanghai without informing Huang Xiaochuan beforehand.
Although Huang Xiaochuan disliked it, he still went to meet her to see what this woman was up to.
Upon meeting her, Huang Xiaochuan asked, "Why did you suddenly come? Couldn't you have made a phone call?"
Years of experience in the business world have instilled in Zhang Yun a tough personality. There's no other way; as a woman, she has to be tough, otherwise she would have been devoured long ago.
So when she heard Huang Xiaochuan speak to her in a tone that showed dislike, she was very annoyed.
She retorted, neither too bluntly nor too firmly, "I don't think I need to specifically report to you where I go, do I?"
These words were quite grating to Huang Xiaochuan's ears. He quickly calculated that this woman was also approaching menopause. Huang Xiaochuan didn't want to get into a verbal argument with her, so he didn't respond. Instead, he expressed his dissatisfaction with silence. He knew that this woman must have something to say to him, and even if he didn't speak, she would take the initiative to say it.
Sure enough, after Huang Xiaochuan remained silent for a while, Zhang Yun couldn't hold back any longer: "Ya Wen will be coming here to study in a few days."
Huang Xiaochuan was stunned. He couldn't understand why this woman would make such an arrangement.
Zhang Yun noticed Huang Xiaochuan's reaction and explained the reason: "Originally, I wanted the two brothers to go to Wharton together, and Wharton even offered them admission. But Yawen insisted on studying at Shanghai Dan University. He had already completed all the admission procedures himself and only told me later. I didn't agree at first, but he said something to me that made me change my mind."
"What did he say?" Huang Xiaochuan also wanted to know what his son was thinking.
Zhang Yun glanced at Huang Xiaochuan and said, "Ya Wen said his surname is Zeng."
Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaochuan paused in his hand, which was about to reach for the teacup.
But he quickly recovered and asked, "What does he plan to study at Shanghai University?" (Cola Novels, good books are never stopped being updated, waiting for you to come and appreciate them.)
"International Finance Institute, Financial Technology"
Huang Xiaochuan nodded and gave a fair assessment: "It's pretty good. Although it can't compare to Wharton, it's still a very good university."
He then added, "I understand. I'll keep an eye on him when he arrives. Don't worry, he'll be fine under my watch."
"That's for the best." Zhang Yun made a special trip to Shanghai just for this.
After the two had agreed on Yawen's matter, Zhang Yun suddenly asked about the family office.
"I heard you've set up a family office? And you've transferred all your overseas assets to multiple trusts established by this office for management?"
This was already a semi-public secret, so Huang Xiaochuan didn't intend to hide it: "Yes, it was established in June."
Zhang Yun looked at the man in front of her. To be honest, she was quite surprised when she learned that he had created a family office.
It is important to know that in China, a country with thousands of years of Confucian culture, some ideas are deeply rooted, and even she was deeply influenced by them, such as the idea of passing down wealth from father to son.
In China, wealth is generally passed down in this way. Unexpectedly, this man completely broke free from the constraints of this culture and passed on his wealth in a different way.
The two remained silent for a while before Huang Xiaochuan finally spoke first: "Why didn't Yawen come with you?"
Zhang Yun picked up her coffee cup: "Oh, he said he'll come over in a few days. He's taking care of some things these few days."
"Tell me his itinerary when he comes to Shanghai, and I'll arrange for someone to pick him up."
To everyone's surprise, Zhang Yun flatly refused: "No need. He's not a child anymore, and he's a boy. It's better for him to be more independent. Besides, the security in both places is so good, are you worried he'll get lost?"
Zhang Yun's words made sense, and Ya Wen had grown up in Singapore, so he was quite independent. Therefore, Huang Xiaochuan adopted this suggestion. Besides, his son was studying in Shanghai, so there would be many opportunities to meet in the future.
The two sat in silence for a while longer.
Seeing that it was almost lunchtime, Huang Xiaochuan decided to invite Zhang Yun to have lunch together.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yun refused: "No, I came here not only to tell you about Ya Wen's arrangements, but also because I have an appointment to look at a batch of Ming and Qing dynasty furniture."
Huang Xiaochuan knew that this woman was a passionate collector of Ming and Qing dynasty furniture. The growing collection of furniture in the Ming and Qing Furniture Museum on the first floor of the Pudong Public Library was a testament to this, as she had collected it bit by bit from outside, like ants carrying grains of rice.
Collecting furniture is not as simple as it looks from the outside. It involves a lot of knowledge, and restoration is one of them. Many Ming and Qing dynasty furniture pieces have fallen into disrepair due to historical reasons, and their owners did not know how to maintain them. As a result, they are no different from a pile of junk.
Therefore, after these pieces of furniture were purchased, they needed to be repaired by experienced craftsmen, and they also needed to be maintained and cared for by dedicated personnel. Huang Xiaochuan's second brother-in-law, Huo Miao's father, is now a specially appointed consultant of the furniture museum. The old man's skills have finally found a place to be put to use, and he has also taken on several apprentices with good potential.
Since that's the case, Huang Xiaochuan stopped insisting.
He stood up: "Then I'll be going now."
Zhang Yun didn't get up, but simply nodded: "Okay!"
After getting in the car, Gao Song asked whether he was going home or to the office.
Huang Xiaochuan thought for a moment: "Let's go take a look around the University of Finance and Economics!"
