I'm back in 1990

Chapter 231: Learn not to be controlled by greed

The next morning, Huang Xiaochuan had a terrible headache and a dry mouth. He wanted to drink water as soon as he got up, so he skipped his daily morning run.

"Damn Jiang Bixing, what the hell did he use to make this bayberry wine? How come it has such a strong aftereffect?" Huang Xiaochuan muttered and cursed Jiang Bixing while holding his head on the bed.

Just then, Ding Yi and his friends returned from the cafeteria, bringing him breakfast: a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns.

Huang Xiaochuan had no appetite for food; he just wanted to drink water.

"Can someone get me a glass of water? I'm so thirsty!"

Wu Duo handed his large tea mug to Huang Xiaochuan: "Drink mine, it's just a little cold." Regardless of whether it was cold or not, Huang Xiaochuan took it and gulped it down.

I felt better after drinking it.

Ding asked him, "How much did you drink last night? You got this drunk?"

"I didn't drink much alcohol, but this bayberry wine had a really strong aftereffect!"

"No, no, I need to lie down for a while longer." Huang Xiaochuan lay down again.

Ding Yi quickly nudged him: "Hey, hey, hey! Get up quickly, you have class soon! You dare skip a class taught by the Abbess of Extinction?"

Damn it, Huang Xiaochuan had no choice but to bite the bullet, get up, wash up, eat a steamed bun, and then go to class with the others.

Huang Xiaochuan was in a daze all morning and didn't listen to a word of the lesson. He basically just lay on his desk and passed the time.

Ding Yi and Chen Zhe helped him get lunch. He hastily ate a few mouthfuls of rice and drank a bowl of tomato soup with no visible tomatoes or eggs before he finally felt a little better.

I ran into Sang Weihong when I came out of the cafeteria. I wonder what she was busy with. She only came to the cafeteria to eat now. I guess she only had some leftovers.

However, seeing Huang Xiaochuan's listless appearance, she asked with concern, "Huang Xiaochuan, are you sick?"

Before Huang Xiaochuan could reply, Ding Yi said, "Senior, he's fine. He drank too much last night and hasn't quite recovered yet. He'll be lively and energetic again tonight."

Upon hearing this, Sang Weihong complained, "Why did you make him drink so much? Why are you all alright? Did he drink all the alcohol by himself?"

Chen Zhe quickly distanced himself: "Senior, he went drinking with Senior Jiang last night, it has nothing to do with us."

"Then you should take him back quickly."

At this moment, Huang Xiaochuan said, "Senior, I'm fine. You should hurry up and eat, or there won't be any food left!"

"Okay, okay, I'm off!" Sang Weihong hurriedly said goodbye and ran into the cafeteria.

On the way back to the dorm, Ding Yi looked on with envy and jealousy: "How come you're so popular with women? Why don't I? I'm pretty handsome, aren't I?"

After looking at Ding Yi's appearance, Chen Zhe struggled to suppress his laughter for a long time.

Huang Xiaochuan weakly said, "It would be more appropriate if you removed the last two words."

"Huang Xiaochuan, you son of a bitch, if you take 'debonair,' all that's left is 'womanizing,' right?"

Unable to hold it in any longer, Chen Zhe laughed so hard he was doubled over.

Ding Yi pointed at the two of them and cursed, "You don't know anything! Maybe one of them has a crush on someone like me. It's a matter of personal taste."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhe suddenly thought of someone: "Old Ding, it's true! I heard that Fang Yuchun from Class Two said she likes you."

"Damn, forget it! That girl has absolutely no femininity. Other girls may be small, but at least they have some curves. This old lady, on the other hand, looks like she's been bitten by mosquitoes twice in the front—flatter than me!"

So you shouldn't talk badly about others behind their backs. Unfortunately, Fang Yuchun happened to walk by behind her with a few female classmates. They overheard everything, and Fang Yuchun's face immediately turned as red as if it had been dyed.

The girls walking with her all looked ahead at her. Fang Yuchun, filled with grief and indignation, stepped forward and kicked Ding Yi in the butt, causing Ding Yi to stumble and almost fall flat on his face.

"Who the hell is it? It's me!"

Ding Yi steadied himself and turned around. Damn it, he swallowed his words back. What bad luck!

"Ding Yi, you pervert!" After Fang Yuchun finished cursing, she turned around and ran away crying. All the girls who had been walking with her glared at Ding Yi. Ding Yi knew he was in the wrong and didn't dare to say a word.

After the girls left, Ding complained, "Why the hell didn't you guys tell me?"

Huang Xiaochuan retorted angrily, "We don't have eyes in the back of our heads! Who told you to talk nonsense? Don't joke about female classmates anymore. What business is it of yours whether they're older or younger!"

Seeing that the girls had all left, Ding became defiant again: "I'm not doing this for myself; this concerns the future quality of my son's meals, so I have to choose a good one for him beforehand! There's no room for ambiguity!"

Huang Xiaochuan and Chen Zhe looked at each other, completely impressed by Ding Gungun. He could make his hobby sound so sophisticated; no one else could do that!

Chen Zhe laughed hysterically, while Ding Yi was left bewildered and speechless in the wind.

During the afternoon self-study period, Jiang Bixing quietly sneaked in through the back door, walked up to Huang Xiaochuan, and patted Huang Xiaochuan on the shoulder.

When Jiang Bixing came looking for him, Huang Xiaochuan handed his books and notes to Wu Duo: "Class monitor, I'm going out for a bit. Could you please bring my notebook and books back to the dormitory for me?"

Wu Duo glanced at Jiang Bixing and reminded him, "Don't leave the school gate!"

"I know, I know!" Huang Xiaochuan gave an OK sign and left the classroom with Jiang Bixing.

As soon as they left the classroom, Huang Xiaochuan's first question was, "What kind of liquor did you use to make your bayberry wine?"

"It's soaked in high-proof sweet potato liquor, how is it? Not bad, right?"

Huang Xiaochuan covered his forehead with his hand. No wonder. The sweet potato wine was slightly bitter and strong, but when it was soaked with bayberries, the sweetness of the bayberries masked the bitterness, and the alcohol content was neutralized and less strong. However, because there were too many impurities in the sweet potato wine and it was not purified enough, it was no wonder that he would get sick after drinking it.

Huang Xiaochuan made up his mind that he would never drink this type of alcohol again, no matter what.

A new tea house had opened at the school, so the two of them went there, ordered two cups of tea, and found a quiet spot to resume their conversation from the previous night.

"I didn't sleep a wink last night, all I could think about was what you told me. Can you really secure the investment?"

Huang Xiaochuan couldn't help but complain in his heart, "Damn it, I didn't sleep well all night either, my head is throbbing like it's going to explode."

"Don't worry about the investment; I can guarantee it. But your priority right now is your graduation thesis. It's already April, and you have a month left before it's due. You also have to defend it. You should focus on that for now!"

"You don't need to worry about my thesis. I've already shown it to my teacher. There are a few things that need to be revised, but it's not a big problem. I can spend about a day at the library to finish it."

The two talked for nearly two more hours. Huang Xiaochuan elaborated on some issues and went into more detail. He only knew a little about supermarkets, but his idea of ​​opening a supermarket was based on the practices of Pang Donglai in the future. Huang Xiaochuan believed that Pang Donglai truly made its employees treat the company as their own home and do their best to maintain it, because they knew that if they did well in the company, they would have a place to shelter from the wind and rain and earn a high income.

It is precisely for this reason that employees provide the best service, and customers who enjoy such meticulous service are willing to come here to spend money, thus forming a virtuous cycle. In fact, it all comes down to the word "letting go".

Pang Donglai has managed to share profits with the vast majority of people!

This also shows that it is entirely feasible for the rich to help the poor, but most people are driven by greed, are insatiable, and want to put all the money into their own pockets.

In this life, Huang Xiaochuan also wants to give it a try. It's not about moral principles; he just wants to avoid being controlled by greed. After reading the Zizhi Tongjian and looking at history, he realized that many things went wrong because of human greed. Huang Xiaochuan believes that he can't change the world, but he can change himself. Moreover, this won't affect his quality of life, so why not?
