I'm back in 1990

Chapter 722: Without drastic measures, one cannot act with a compassionate heart.

Two days before the Spring Festival, Ge Changli met with Huang Xiaochuan again, this time to give him a gift.

Although he knew that his friend lacked nothing, he felt that not giving him something would not be enough to express his gratitude.

Therefore, Ge Changli carefully prepared some gifts, such as Jinhua ham, Liaodong dried sea cucumber, Dongshan dried abalone, Nanyang bird's nest, and Changxing winter bamboo shoots, which are all kinds of delicacies from land and sea.

After meeting, Ge Changli expressed his gratitude to Huang Xiaochuan and presented him with a gift list. Yes, a gift list. Because there were too many things, Ge Changli could not and could not have them carried to Huang Xiaochuan's office. So he could only temporarily put them on a van and park them in the building's underground parking garage.

Huang Xiaochuan took the gift list from Ge Changli with a puzzled look, opened it and glanced at it. After seeing the contents, he couldn't help but laugh.

He chuckled and complained, "Why are you being so polite with me?"

Ge Changli explained, "Knowing you don't lack anything, I can only add a few dishes to your family's New Year's Eve dinner."

Huang Xiaochuan laughed heartily, then said, "Alright! Then I won't stand on ceremony, I'll accept it! Thank you!"

"Oh dear! I should be thanking you!" Ge Changli replied hastily.

With Huang Xiaochuan's help, the lawsuit against IB was eventually settled out of court. Although Ge Changli still had to pay a large sum of money, with the help of the legal team sent by Dadao Group, the other party made some concessions on the issue of compensation and agreed that Ge Changli would repay it in three years.

In addition, under Huang Xiaochuan's arrangement, Dadao Group gave Ge Changli a high-value, low-interest loan for five years, and also introduced him to sign a long-term cooperation agreement with Zhang Gaolei's Huaxin Group, which secured multiple domestic and international orders. It is foreseeable that within three years, Ge Changli's factory will be able to fully recover, and at that time, repaying the loan and compensation will be no problem at all.

"Sit down! Sit down, sit down!" After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Huang Xiaochuan realized that the two of them were still standing.

After they sat down, Ge Changli brought up Yan Jianhong's matter again.

Ge Changli said indignantly, "I really didn't expect Yan Jianhong to treat me like this. I've treated him very well!"

Huang Xiaochuan smiled and advised, "Old Ge, as the saying goes, 'A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit.' From now on, you must have the heart of a bodhisattva but also the ruthlessness of a thunderbolt, so that no one will dare to plot against you."

Ge Changli nodded, deeply agreeing. The man sitting with him, chatting and laughing, was indeed a kind-hearted person with ruthless methods. He was truly devoted to his friends, being the biggest beneficiary himself. As for those who harmed him or his friends, Yan Jianhong was a prime example, as was Yao Haifeng, who had already died in prison.

Ge Changli was very fortunate to be Huang Xiaochuan's friend rather than his enemy. Thinking of Huang Xiaochuan's tactics against his opponents, Ge Changli couldn't help but shudder slightly.

When Huang Xiaochuan got home in the evening, he went to his room to change clothes and take a shower as usual. This was a result of Yu Xiang's request after they got married, as she has a slight obsession with cleanliness.

After drying his hair, changing his clothes, and going downstairs, he was startled by the scene in the lobby.

Huang Xiaochuan pointed to a large pile of things on the ground and asked, "Who bought this? Why did they buy so much?"

It's no wonder Huang Xiaochuan asked that question; this huge pile of things was like a small mountain.

Yu Xiang looked at her husband with a puzzled expression and said, "Didn't you have someone bring this back? Didn't you buy it?"

When Yu Xiang asked, Huang Xiaochuan understood. It seems this is what Ge Changli meant by adding a few dishes to the New Year's Eve dinner – those delicacies from land and sea! Old Ge is quite cunning! The gift list only listed the names of the gifts, not the quantities. So that's what happened!

After a quick glance, Huang Xiaochuan saw that there were more than a dozen Jinhua hams alone, and the winter bamboo shoots were packed in sacks. He shook his head and laughed at the sheer amount of food being delivered.

"Who sent it?" Seeing Huang Xiaochuan smiling, Yu Xiang guessed that it was sent by someone else.

Huang Xiaochuan thought for a moment and made an arrangement: "Old Ge delivered it today, but I didn't know he delivered so much. Here's what we'll do! You see how much of each item there is. You distribute it to your parents, my parents, your uncle and aunt, your sister-in-law, your second brother, your eldest sister, and your second sister. One portion for each family!"

Yu Xiang nodded. That would be best. Otherwise, these things would be sitting at home for years and we wouldn't be able to finish them. Who would eat these things every day? Besides, the winter bamboo shoots in this pile of stuff are hard to preserve.

Soon after, the housekeepers divided the items into eight portions, one for each family, according to Yu Xiang's instructions.

Yu Xiang discussed with Huang Xiaochuan, "Why don't you arrange for someone to deliver them tonight? The New Year is just around the corner, so it's better to deliver them to each household early to avoid them having to buy these things again."

Huang Xiaochuan was eating dinner when he glanced at the divided food and said, "We'll personally deliver the food to your parents, my parents, and my uncle and aunt. I'll arrange for someone to deliver the rest. We can pick up Xiaodong and Xiaoduo from my mom's place later."

Yu Xiang nodded: "Okay!"

Just as the couple was about to leave, Huang Erhe arrived with Cheng Jing, bringing quite a few things with him.

"Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, please sit down!" Yu Xiang stepped forward to greet them.

Seeing his younger brother and sister-in-law dressed neatly, Huang Erhe asked, "Are you going out?"

At this moment, Huang Xiaochuan said, "We were planning to send some things to my parents, uncle and aunt, and Yu Xiang's parents. By the way, you've come at the right time, so I don't have to arrange for someone to deliver them to your home. You can take them with you later." He then pointed to the New Year's goods that were divided into several small piles.

The couple saw it when they came in from outside. They were wondering why the couple had bought so many New Year's goods. It turns out they were all for their family.

But Huang Erhe thought to himself, something's not right! Didn't his younger brother already arrange for the New Year's goods to be delivered to each household not long ago? How come there are still more?

At this moment, Yu Xiang said to Cheng Jing, "Second sister-in-law, why did you bring so much stuff? We really don't need it!"

Before Cheng Jing could speak, Huang Erhe interjected, "I know you don't lack anything. In the past, wasn't this how older generations of brothers and sisters always exchanged gifts? It's just a token!"

"That makes sense!" Huang Xiaochuan agreed and gestured for Yu Xiang to accept the things that Huang Erhe and his wife had brought.

Seeing that his younger brother and sister-in-law were about to leave, and having already delivered the items, Huang Erhe stood up and said, "Alright, we're going back now. You two hurry up and deliver the items; it's getting late."

"It's alright, sit a little longer!" Yu Xiang quickly said politely.

Huang Erhe waved his hand: "No, Maowa and Miguo are still waiting for us at home!"

"Are they the only two people at home guarding the house?" Hearing that there were only two children at home, Yu Xiang couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Cheng Jing quickly said, "My sister is at my house with them, it's alright!"

"Oh! That's good! Then you two be careful on the road." Yu Xiang said as she instructed the housekeeper to help load the items meant for Huang Erhe's family into the car.
