Before the start of the semester, Huang Xiaochuan went to Wang Deyi's office.

After greeting Xu Hui and casually placing the gift on his desk, Huang Xiaochuan pushed open the door to Wang Deyi's office.

"Grandpa, I'm back!"

As he spoke, he placed the bag containing the items on Wang Deyi's table and began taking things out one by one.

Wang Deyi had no interest in those things; instead, he asked with concern, "How is your wife?"

"The due date is in October. Just prepare your gift then. And just so you know, it's twins, a boy and a girl!"

Wang Deyi was overjoyed upon hearing this, but he suspected Huang Xiaochuan was lying to him, so he asked, "Really? How did you know it was a boy or a girl?"

"Would I lie to you about this? It's a relatively advanced medical technology that can analyze the sex of a baby from the embryonic stage. It's too complicated to explain in just a few words."

Seeing that Huang Xiaochuan wasn't lying to him, Wang Deyi grinned from ear to ear: "Good, good, good!"

"Oh, right, this is lutein that Yu Xiang bought for you. Taking one a day will be good for your eyes. This is American ginseng; you can brew it into tea every day. And this is..."

Wang Deyi complained, "Why buy so much stuff? You have so many things to do yourself, yet you're always thinking about buying me things. Honestly!"

"It's not as busy as you think. Most of the time I'm just waiting. Since I'm just killing time anyway, I take her out for a walk whenever I have nothing to do. We can't just stay cooped up at home all day, can we?"

Huang Xiaochuan was telling the truth, and he also took advantage of this time to handle a lot of things. After all, the Southeast Asian financial war was about to begin, and there was a lot of work to be done in the early stages.

And coincidentally, Zhang Yun then abandoned her post, saying she had family matters to attend to and took leave to go to Singapore, dumping all her work on Huang Xiaochuan. She directly arranged for her assistant to liaise with Huang Xiaochuan, without even coming in person. Huang Xiaochuan, considering that she had been his teacher for over a year, didn't hold it against her. Anyway, he had some free time, so he took over all the work.

Wang Deyi asked, "How is your wife?"

"Don't worry, she's our family's darling now. My three mothers take care of her, and the one being pampered has gained weight."

"Three mothers?" Wang Deyi was completely stunned by Huang Xiaochuan's words.

Seeing that the old man had misunderstood, Huang Xiaochuan quickly explained, "Oh! My mom, my mother-in-law, and my aunt—that makes three moms!"

"Ha!" Wang Deyi chuckled to himself, realizing he had almost forgotten that this wayward disciple was adept at making up new phrases.

"It's good for her to be a little chubby. Now that she's carrying two babies, she needs to eat more to get enough nutrition!"

"You're right, that's what my three mothers said too!"

Back in her office, Lu Jingyun met Huang Xiaochuan and became very curious about his behavior during his months-long disappearance.

"I heard you took leave, I didn't expect it to be such a long leave? What did you go about?"

While tidying up his desk, Huang Xiaochuan responded to Lü Jingyun's question: "It's a long story, I'll tell you slowly when I have time."

Suddenly, Huang Xiaochuan seemed to remember something and slapped his forehead: "Oh no, I forgot to check in after my leave."

After saying that, he put down his things and hurriedly went to the department head's office. Lü Jingyun watched Huang Xiaochuan's back and said angrily, "That kid is like an eel."

After returning to the office after the sales holiday, Ma Yifeng, An Cheng, and Jiao Zhiyong were already there.

They greeted Huang Xiaochuan and the others warmly.

"Old Huang!"

"Old Huang, quickly and honestly confess, what have you been doing these past few months?"

"Old Huang? Is something wrong at home? Let me know if you need any help. I'll give you money or manpower if needed!"

Huang Xiaochuan responded with a smile, "Thank you everyone for your concern. It's really nothing. It's been a long time since we've seen each other. Tonight, it's my treat; let's get together at our usual spot!"

The "old place" Huang Xiaochuan mentioned is the restaurant "Hua Hong Restaurant" owned by his brother-in-law Tang Jianhua. Huang Xiaochuan usually holds banquets, gatherings with colleagues and friends, and the like here.

Hearing that there would be a big dinner that evening, the group perked up immediately and readily agreed.

After a while, Ma Yifeng walked up to Huang Xiaochuan with an empty teacup, gesturing to him, "Esteemed benefactor, would you mind lending me some tea leaves?"

Seeing Ma Yifeng's expression, Huang Xiaochuan couldn't help but chuckle. He casually opened a drawer, took out a can of tea, and handed it to Ma Yifeng.

"Old Ma, if you were a monk? Then how famous is your Sang Wei?"

Ma Yifeng opened the tea canister, stretched out three fingers, pinched a pinch of tea leaves, put them into his teacup, and then responded to Huang Xiaochuan's question.

"You'll have to ask her about that."

Huang Xiaochuan grinned mischievously: "Alright, I'll go ask her later why your old Ma suddenly has the idea of ​​becoming a nun. Is it because her desires aren't being met? Is she disillusioned with the secular world? This won't do. I need to give her a good talking-to."

The others burst into laughter at this. Ma Yifeng, embarrassed and annoyed, retorted, "You idiot!"

He then grabbed the teacup and fled in panic.

When Huang Xiaochuan returned home that evening, he was about to touch Yu Xiang's belly to bond with his two children when Yu Xiang slapped him away.

"You reek of alcohol, aren't you worried about bothering the kids? Go take a shower and change your clothes right now!"

Huang Xiaochuan pouted, somewhat unwilling, but his body betrayed him, and he obediently went to take a shower.

For the first time in two lifetimes, Huang Xiaochuan had his own children. He loved the two children from the bottom of his heart. Although they were not yet born, he liked to put his hands on Yu Xiang's belly every day. He could feel their presence. Yu Xiang once teased him, "How could you feel them when they are so small?"

But Huang Xiaochuan insisted that he could feel it.

While he was making fun of Ma Yifeng during the day, Huang Xiaochuan himself was actually in a more tragic situation.

Ever since his wife got pregnant, he hasn't been able to even get close to her, let alone have sex. Now Huang Xiaochuan is the monk practicing at home, observing the precepts. While others quit smoking and drinking, he quits lust.

Moreover, he was forced to sleep in the guest room, and his three mothers kept a close watch on him, afraid that he might take advantage of any loopholes. Who can he complain to?

The main reason actually lies with Yu Xiang. These two children were hard-won, and Yu Xiang, the expectant mother, cherished them more than anyone else. So she made the difficult decision to have Huang Xiaochuan move out of the bedroom.

Others might not know, but as a wife, she certainly knew the lustful look on her husband's face when he was close to her. Yu Xiang felt sorry for her husband, but for the sake of the children, she had to harden her heart. Better safe than sorry.

Huang Xiaochuan could only console himself that he would be fine in another seven or eight months.

With nowhere to release their energy, people naturally need to find something to do, and Huang Xiaochuan's group of students, as well as Jiang Bixing and Nan Hui, ended up in trouble.

Huang Xiaochuan always takes attendance before class, and he has an exceptionally good memory. If someone answers for him, he can tell at a glance whether it's the person who answered for him.

Moreover, he would assign a huge amount of homework to the students every few days, causing these privileged students to complain bitterly. They had no choice but to accept that they had hit the jackpot by having a teacher like Mr. Huang who had nowhere to vent his energy.

That's not all. Whenever there were no classes, Huang Xiaochuan would take Mai Guangde on unannounced visits to various stores in Times Supermarket and Times Super Shopping Center to find fault with them. If they saw anything lacking, they would have Mai Guangde take pictures of it and then have Mai Guangde send the photos and the substandard goods to Jiang Bixing.

Times Supermarket has strict requirements for the procurement of goods.

For example, if the return rate and quality complaints for a certain product reach a certain number, an accountability system will be initiated, and the purchasing manager responsible for purchasing that product will be punished.

If you receive three penalties in total, then you can expect a court summons.

The procurement industry is rife with gray income, making wages negligible in comparison.

This is also a major area of ​​corruption within the supermarket industry. To address this, Jiang Bixing, at Huang Xiaochuan's suggestion, formulated a special reward and punishment system.

First, they offered high salaries; in 1996, a purchasing agent at Times Supermarket earned an annual salary of 150,000 yuan.

Secondly, there is a penalty system. If the return rate and quality complaint rate of purchased goods reach the set value, the penalty system will be triggered. The purchasing agent involved will be required to temporarily leave the purchasing position and be assigned to the store or sales floor for six months to a year for training and work. During this period, the salary will also be reduced to the level of the sales floor employees. The system is based on the position and salary.

Thirdly, there is an accountability system. If a person is punished three times or the company's losses reach a certain amount, the company's accountability clause will be triggered. Once the accountability clause is triggered, the company will spare no effort to bring the person to justice, as this may involve damage to the company's interests and suspected job-related crimes.

Looking at the photos and the defective products in his hand, Jiang Bixing knew that Huang Xiaochuan was giving him a warning.

Sending these photos and goods to Mai Guangde was a warning to himself; if Huang Xiaochuan brought these things himself, Jiang Bixing would be in trouble.

Jiang Bixing solemnly said to Mai Guangde, "Assistant Mai, please tell the chairman that starting with me, every single one of them will be punished according to the company's reward and punishment system. I will report the punishment results to the chairman's office as soon as possible."

Mai Guangde nodded: "I will pass on President Jiang's words to Mr. Huang."

After finishing their business, Jiang Bixing smiled and invited Mai Guangde: "Assistant Mai, when are you free so I can treat you to a meal? I know a place with very authentic Cantonese cuisine, and I've been thinking of taking you there to try it."

"President Jiang, you're too kind. But Mr. Huang is waiting for me to return, so I'll take my leave now." Mai Guangde didn't dare to agree. He had been with Huang Xiaochuan for a long time and knew that Huang Xiaochuan was wary of this, so he basically didn't have any private dealings with these regional officials.

However, he still envied Jiang Bixing. If it weren't for the fact that he and Mr. Huang were alumni, how could he have become the general manager of Times Supermarket? How old was he? How much did Mr. Huang invest in cultivating and supporting him?

The next morning, the punishment results were reported to Huang Xiaochuan. Jiang Bixing was fined one month's salary, the purchasing director was ordered to make rectifications and demoted to deputy director with a corresponding reduction in salary, and the purchasing managers responsible for these products were to be reassigned to stores for six months of training, with their salaries paid according to the standards for senior store employees. Their next steps would be determined based on their performance in the stores; if they performed poorly, they would simply become ordinary employees in the stores.
