I'm back in 1990

Chapter 466: Outstanding Youth

Huang Xiaochuan has been enjoying a string of good news lately, with various honors coming one after another. He was named an outstanding teaching assistant last month, and this month he received an award for outstanding paper. He has also been recognized as an outstanding young worker in Shanghai and one of the top ten outstanding young people in Shanghai. This has made the other young talents in the office extremely envious.

Ma Yifeng shouted, "Old Huang, you have to treat us! You absolutely have to treat us!"

An Cheng and Jiao Zhiyong echoed, while Lü Jingyun looked on with envy and jealousy. However, she knew that Huang Xiaochuan had earned this through his own hard work, so she could only feel envious and jealous.

Huang Xiaochuan agreed without hesitation; he was always a man of action when it came to treating others: "Okay! Let's go to Hua Hong Restaurant tonight!"

Unexpectedly, Ma Yifeng objected: "No way! You're already one of the top ten outstanding young people, and you still take us to your brother-in-law's restaurant? You really don't want to let the good stuff go to outsiders, do you? Tonight we have to go to a more upscale place."

Huang Xiaochuan retorted angrily, "You son of a bitch, Old Ma, you're picky about food?"

An Cheng, Jiao Zhiyong, and Lü Jingyun all sided with Ma Yifeng and said they wouldn't go to Huahong Hotel tonight, mainly because they had been there too many times and were already experiencing fatigue syndrome.

Seeing everyone's firm stance, Huang Xiaochuan had no choice but to submit to the majority.

"I give up, so where are you going?"

Jiao Zhiyong suggested, "Let's have Western food!"

An Cheng suggested, "Let's go to a five-star hotel and have a meal together!"

Ma Yifeng suggested going to Lao Zhengxing Restaurant, which was said to have just been renovated and had a very nice environment.

Lu Jingyun is more easygoing; as long as she doesn't go to Huahong Hotel, she can accept anything else.

The group argued fiercely about where to eat, while Huang Xiaochuan happily watched the spectacle from the sidelines.

Ultimately, the group decided to take An Cheng's suggestion and have a meal at a five-star hotel.

"How's the newly opened Ritz-Carlton on Huaihai Road? It's top-notch!" An Cheng said, giving a thumbs up.

"Okay, I've heard from others that the Ritz-Carlton is quite good. I've passed by it a few times but haven't gone in yet. This time, I'll take a look." Lu Jingyun strongly agreed with An Cheng's suggestion.

Huang Xiaochuan was naturally familiar with this place. Ritz-Carlton was a partner of Guangda Real Estate. According to the agreement signed by both parties, Ritz-Carlton Hotel Group had to give Guangda Real Estate a considerable share of its revenue every year.

He had been there a few times for various reasons and was quite familiar with the restaurants there.

So he gave them a brief description: "This place you mentioned has Cantonese food, Italian food, and a Japanese restaurant on the top floor. Which one would you like to go to?"

Upon hearing that there were several restaurants inside, the group began discussing which one to choose.

"I've had Cantonese food before, but I haven't tried Italian or Japanese food yet. How about we choose one of the two?" Ma Yifeng was having some difficulty making decisions and couldn't decide for a moment, so he asked someone else to help him choose.

As a result, Lü Jingyun wanted to eat Japanese food, while An Cheng and Jiao Zhiyong wanted to try Italian food.

The group argued fiercely.

Huang Xiaochuan couldn't stand it anymore: "Alright, alright! How about this? We'll go eat Italian food first, and then we'll go eat Japanese food, okay?"

Their eyes lit up. "That's right!"

And so, the group happily decided on their activities for the evening.

That evening, the group, dressed in their finest attire, appeared at the Italian restaurant of the Ritz-Carlton. From the moment they entered the hotel, their eyes were glued to the sights, with Lü Jingyun and Sang Weihong constantly exclaiming "Wow!"

At the request of Huang Xiaochuan and others, the head chef of the Italian restaurant arranged a classic Italian meal for them.

The appetizer was burrata cheese with tomatoes and basil, followed by classic pasta with black truffle sauce and shredded cheese, then roasted lamb chops with cilantro and roasted vegetables, and finally tiramisu for dessert.

Since they wanted to save room for Japanese food, the group only had a small taste and also drank some red wine.

The Japanese restaurant is located on the 58th floor of the hotel, offering a 360-degree panoramic view of the Shanghai skyline at night. The weather in May is perfect for outdoor activities, and the group sat on the rooftop enjoying the city view while savoring their meal.

Sang Weihong revealed a little inside information to Huang Xiaochuan: "Huang Xiaochuan, you probably don't know this, do you? Your title as one of Shanghai's Top Ten Outstanding Youths wasn't submitted by the school; it was directly awarded to you by the city."

Huang Xiaochuan, who was about to take a sip of sake, paused for a moment: "Really?"

"Don't believe me? Go ask our Director Hong tomorrow. He knows more about this than I do. He's your senior, he wouldn't lie to you, would he?"

Seeing that Sang Weihong spoke with such conviction, Huang Xiaochuan knew that it was most likely true, and he guessed that it was related to his own thesis.

However, Huang Xiaochuan accepted these honors without hesitation, feeling no embarrassment whatsoever, as he believed he deserved them.

After hearing his uncle recount what happened yesterday, Huang Xiaochuan was neither surprised nor angry, because he had already experienced this once in his previous life.

He asked his uncle, "Uncle, where is my second brother?"

"I sent him back first. There's no point in him staying in Shanghai. He might as well go back and change Maowa's name back. Once the name is back, I'll go talk to your dad on Erhe's behalf."

Huang Xiaochuan nodded. It seemed that his uncle's arrangement was the most appropriate at the moment. However, he knew his father well. Old Huang was a stubborn man, and there were some things that could not be crossed. His uncle said he would help to reconcile them, but it would probably be difficult!

Huang Xiaochuan originally wanted to visit his father and mother, but then he thought it was inappropriate. He decided to let them calm down in the next few days. If he went today, it would only make them angrier when they brought up the matter with him.

Back home, Yu Xiang was teaching Xiao Duo to sing, while Huang Zeji listened attentively. When Huang Xiaochuan returned, the two little ones smiled at their father.

Yu Xiang turned around and saw Huang Xiaochuan, so she stood up and asked, "Why are you only coming back now? I thought you had another social engagement."

"Oh! My uncle talked to me about something. I'm going to wash up and change my clothes."

After Huang Xiaochuan changed his clothes and came to the living room, Yu Xiang said to him, "My parents know your second brother is here and want to invite him and his wife to dinner. Could you tell your second brother?"

Huang Xiaochuan gave a wry smile: "Tell your parents, but it's not necessary. My second brother and the others have already gone back."

Yu Xiang was puzzled: "You just got here, why are you in such a hurry to go back? Did something happen at home?"

"Something happened!" Huang Xiaochuan then told Yu Xiang what had happened.

After hearing this, Yu Xiang also felt that what Huang Erhe and his wife had done was somewhat unbelievable.

"Why? There has to be a reason, right?"

Huang Xiaochuan snorted coldly: "The reason? One blindly obeys his wife, and the other acts willfully without considering other people's feelings."

Yu Xiang was a little worried about her in-laws: "Then I'll take Xiao Duo and Xiao Dong to see your parents tomorrow night!"

Huang Xiaochuan nodded: "Alright! But don't talk to them about my second brother and his wife, even if they bring it up themselves, don't engage."

Yu Xiang gave Huang Xiaochuan a reproachful look: "I know! Do you need to teach me that?"
