Chapter 483: Further Studies
Because she was worried about her two sons, Zhang Yun only stayed in Shanghai for one day after having dinner with Huang Xiaochuan before flying back to the United States.
Before she knew it, Huang Zeji and Huang Ruiying, the two adorable children, had celebrated their second birthdays. However, Yu Xiang received a notice from the hospital that she would be going to Oxford University Hospital in the UK for a six-month exchange and training program, which left Yu Xiang feeling very conflicted.
"Maybe I shouldn't go?" Yu Xiang and Huang Xiaochuan discussed when they were together that evening.
"Go, you must go. It's only for six months. Don't worry, I can take good care of the two little ones. Besides, there are so many people at home, what do you have to worry about?" Huang Xiaochuan supported Yu Xiang's decision to go abroad. He knew how competitive it was to be sent abroad these days, and it was truly rare for Yu Xiang to get such an opportunity.
Yu Xiang nestled against Huang Xiaochuan's chest: "Mainly because Xiaodong and Xiaoduo are too young, I'm afraid I'll miss them."
"That's it? That's easy! If you miss your son and daughter, I can send a plane to pick you up when you're on vacation. Or I can bring them to visit you; we have our own plane, it's very convenient!"
Yu Xiang punched Huang Xiaochuan in the chest, annoyed. "I'm talking about serious matters! Can't you speak properly?"
Huang Xiaochuan felt so wronged! He really wasn't bragging. There are currently two business jets available for Huang Xiaochuan's use at any time. One of them is the "Global Express" that brought Zhang Yun to Shanghai last year. It is currently in the United States and is used by Zhang Yun. If Huang Xiaochuan needs to use it, he can fly to Shanghai at any time.
There was also a Gulfstream V in Hong Kong, which was less than two years old. In the two years between 97 and 98, Zhang Yun and Zhang Sui dominated the Southeast Asian financial market and bought up many listed companies that were on the verge of bankruptcy. Several of these listed companies had business jets, so these planes were naturally all taken over.
Considering the high annual maintenance costs of these idle business jets, which was a waste, the two, after discussing with Huang Xiaochuan, decided to keep only two of the newest long-range business jets and sell the rest.
"I'm not lying to you. If you go to the UK later, you won't need to buy a plane ticket. I'll send a plane to take you there directly."
Yu Xiang mistakenly thought that Huang Xiaochuan was planning to charter a plane again, something he had done more than once or twice.
Yu Xiang rolled her eyes at Huang Xiaochuan: "It's not just me going to England this time. There are seven people from the hospital going in total. We'll all buy plane tickets and leave together. Are you going to arrange a plane to send us there? Do you even want me to work at the hospital anymore?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaochuan realized that if that was the case, things really couldn't be done this way. But he couldn't bear to let Yu Xiang fly for more than ten hours in economy class. What should he do?
Before long, the departure day arrived, and Huang Xiaochuan took the two little ones to the airport to see Yu Xiang off.
Yu Xiang hugged her son and then her daughter, clearly reluctant to part with them.
The two little ones reacted in completely opposite ways. Huang Zeji cried his eyes out and clung to Yu Xiang, refusing to let go, while Huang Ruiying looked indifferent, tugging at her father's trouser leg and curiously watching the people coming and going in the airport.
When Yu Xiang entered the waiting hall with tears in her eyes, Huang Zeji was crying so heartbreakingly that even Zheng Aiying, who was holding her, shed tears.
Huang Ruiying, however, sat upright in Huang Xiaochuan's lap, waving her little hand to her mother incessantly, showing no sign of reluctance whatsoever.
Huang Xiaochuan asked her, "Mom's gone on a business trip, aren't you sad?"
Urgent! Major plot twist! Watch now!
Huang Ruiying looked at her father with a puzzled expression: "It's not like Mom isn't coming back, why are you sad? Besides, Mom said she'd bring me a gift when she comes back."
Huang Xiaochuan realized that his precious daughter was different from other children. She was only two years old! How could she be so insightful about life? But thinking about it carefully, since this little thing turned one year old, she had hardly ever cried, unlike her brother Huang Zeji who would wail at the drop of a hat!
Who does this little guy take after?
After Yu Xiang and her colleagues boarded the plane, they handed their boarding passes to the flight attendants and headed to their seats. Unexpectedly, after seeing their names on the boarding passes, the flight attendants passed them to the purser. The purser looked at their boarding passes and then smiled and said, "Hello! Welcome aboard this flight. Since there are many empty seats in first class, the captain has decided to randomly select seven passengers to receive a free upgrade. You are very lucky to have this opportunity."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiang's colleagues cheered with joy. Yu Xiang immediately knew who had done it. She shook her head helplessly and, with the help of the flight attendants, followed her colleagues to the upper deck of the 747 aircraft. The first-class cabin was located there. Once they were up there, they realized that it was not only first class, but also a sleeper cabin with a super spacious interior.
This surprised and delighted Yu Xiang's colleagues, but they were also puzzled. Wasn't this upgrade a bit too outrageous? Such a first-class ticket could buy ten economy class tickets.
And what a coincidence that all the people selected were colleagues from the same hospital? Some people even asked the flight attendants about the reason, but the answer they received was the same as before.
Besides first class, Huang Xiaochuan also had proper arrangements made after arriving in the UK.
After Yu Xiang left, Huang Xiaochuan's elderly mother Zeng Lijuan and mother-in-law Zheng Aiying wanted to take Huang Zeji and Huang Ruiying away, but Huang Xiaochuan did not agree.
"It's alright. We have several nannies at home, and the two little ones are used to being with me. You two are already busy enough, one taking care of Yu Chengping and the other taking care of Huang Zemian."
Zheng Aiying asked, "Then what do you do when you're at work?"
"I'll bring it!"
Zeng Lijuan's face fell: "Are you kidding me?! Who brings a child to teach a class?"
"I have my own office now, and besides, I have a nanny with me. When I go to teach my students, I arrange for the nanny to take care of them, so you don't need to worry."
Actually, Huang Xiaochuan didn't tell his two mothers that in addition to the nanny, there were several bodyguards nearby to look after them, so their safety was well guaranteed.
Seeing that Huang Xiaochuan refused to let them take the children, Zeng Lijuan and Zheng Aiying had no choice but to comply with Huang Xiaochuan's wishes.
After Yu Xiang left for a week, seeing that the weather was nice, Huang Xiaochuan took the two children out to the yard to let them bask in the sun. As usual, the two children also had an afternoon snack, which was nothing special, just milk and cake.
Huang Xiaochuan likes to cultivate his two children's independence, so he doesn't let the nanny feed them. He lets the two little ones eat by themselves, at most getting their clothes, hands and faces dirty.
Huang Xiaochuan was looking through the assignments that several students had recently submitted. The learning methods for graduate students are different from those for undergraduates. The main focus is on guiding them to develop independent thinking skills. Of course, when they encounter difficult problems, they also need to be patiently guided to solve them. In short, it is about cultivating their self-academic abilities.
I had only been watching for a few minutes when I heard Huang Zeji calling out to me, "Dad!"
