I'm back in 1990

Chapter 931: Nothing Happened

The day of the disaster that occurred in the previous life arrived as scheduled, but the disaster that occurred in the previous life did not happen. Huang Xiaochuan waited anxiously until midnight.

When Yu Xiang woke up and saw that the man was not beside her, she got up and went to the study to look for him.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Yu Xiang felt that the man seemed a bit unusual today. He had been absent-minded for the past few days, and she didn't know what he was thinking. When she asked him, he wouldn't say anything, just that nothing was wrong.

"Oh! I'll go to sleep in a bit." Huang Xiaochuan smiled at Yu Xiang.

Yu Xiang suddenly exclaimed, "Hey! Why are you drinking coffee so late at night?"

This is truly an unexpected surprise. The couple has been together for so many years, and she knows the man's lifestyle very well. He only drinks tea and never any other beverages. She never expected him to drink coffee tonight.

Huang Xiaochuan glanced at the coffee cup on the desk and quickly explained, "I was just tasting it, don't make a fuss, okay?"

Yu Xiang looked at the man with suspicion: "Are you really okay?" Yu Xiang was still a little worried. She had never seen the man like this before. She wondered if something had happened to his business.

So he comforted her, saying, "This money is enough to get by. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaochuan knew that Yu Xiang had misunderstood, so he stood up and hugged her.

"Everything is running well, don't worry! I'm just thinking about some things. There are too many messy things during the day, and I don't have time to calm down and think things through properly." He then gently patted Yu Xiang's back to comfort her.

Yu Xiang placed her hands on the man's shoulders, stared into his eyes, and asked, "Really?"

Huang Xiaochuan raised his right hand: "I promise!"

Yu Xiang then gave up, and instructed, "If you can't figure it out right away, go to sleep and think about it tomorrow. Don't drink coffee; how will you sleep if you drink that stuff?"

"Okay, I won't drink anymore, you go to sleep!" Huang Xiaochuan smiled and escorted Yu Xiang back to her bedroom, then returned to his study.

He refreshed his computer's webpage, but there was no news on any major portal websites.

Around 1 a.m., he dozed off for two or three hours on the daybed in his study. When he woke up, he checked the time and then sat down at his desk. There was still no news about the earthquake on the news websites.

At 8:30 a.m. sharp, Takamatsu came to pick him up and take him to the office.

Before getting into the car, he asked Gao Song, "Is there any major news this morning?"

"Breaking news?" Gao Song was stunned by the question, because there was no major news that day. The only news was that the Olympics were about to open and the US subprime mortgage crisis was getting worse and had a tendency to spread to the whole world. But these were not major news! They were all old issues being brought up again.

A little over a month ago, there was a major news story. In March, Bear Stearns, the fifth largest investment bank on Wall Street, was acquired by JPMorgan Chase due to a shortage of capital liquidity. If JPMorgan Chase had not received support from the Federal Reserve, it would not have been able to acquire Bear Stearns.

However, this news is already old news. Although the US and even the global financial markets have been in crisis recently, there really hasn't been any major news.

Seeing Gao Song's expression, Huang Xiaochuan knew nothing serious had happened. He glanced at his wristwatch calendar, which showed May 13th. Still uneasy, he asked, "What's the date today?"

This question completely stumped Gao Song, and even the driver was taken aback.

But Gao Song still took out his phone and glanced at it, replying, "Today is May 13th."

Huang Xiaochuan was finally certain and breathed a sigh of relief.

Currently reading Chapter 931 of the novel "Cola": Nothing happened, I was so engrossed in it that I couldn't pull myself away.

Gao Song glanced cautiously at his boss through the rearview mirror; he felt that his boss had been acting strangely these past few days.

5月13日、5月14日、5月15日、5月16日

It wasn't until May 31st, after learning from various sources that there had been no major geological changes in the southwest and the earth's crust was calm, that Huang Xiaochuan finally believed that the disaster of his previous life had not occurred in this life.

His heart, which had been hanging in suspense for a month, finally settled down.

He first called Yu Xiang: "I'm not busy today. Tomorrow is Children's Day. I'll pick up Xiaodong and Xiaoduo from school later, and then we'll go home to pick you up. Tonight, the four of us will eat out."

Yu Xiang naturally agreed: "Okay, so what shall we eat tonight?"

"When I pick up Xiaodong and Xiaoduo, I'll ask them what they think, since it's their holiday tomorrow!"

Yu Xiang's main approach was to listen to advice: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"Gao Song, have the driver prepare the car and take me to school." In a cheerful mood, Huang Xiaochuan pressed the intercom on his desk.

"Okay, Mr. Huang!"

Because the road in front of Shengai Road Primary School is narrow and particularly congested during school hours, Huang Xiaochuan got off the bus early and walked to the school.

When they arrived at the school gate, they met Qi Huan, who was also standing by the roadside waiting to pick up Ding Xiaojia.

"I had some time, so I came," Huang Xiaochuan replied to Qi Huan with a smile. Then he asked, "Has your husband, Lao Ding, been gone for four or five days?"

"Yes, it's been five days."

"Hey, is your husband really planning to stay there indefinitely? Didn't we agree that he'd only be on temporary assignment for a year or two and then come back?"

Qi Huan looked helpless: "Of course I want him to come back sooner, but his father insists that he train at the grassroots level for a few more years before we talk about it. I can't do anything about it." Qi Huan told the truth.

Huang Xiaochuan nodded in understanding. Given the current situation, Qi Huan definitely wouldn't go there because the educational resources there weren't as good as in Shanghai. So, for Ding Xiaojia's sake, Qi Huan wouldn't voluntarily transfer to Ding Yi's place.

Besides, Qi Huan is used to her current life, and she might not be able to adapt to a sudden change in environment. So the couple can only live apart like this.

Just as the two were chatting, school let out.

Huang Zeji politely greeted his father and Qi Huan: "Dad! Aunt Qi!"

"Hello, Aunt Qi!" The little girl rushed out with her schoolbag on her back and greeted Qi Huan politely first, then asked her father, "Huh? Why are you here today?"

"Hello, Uncle Huang!" Ding Xiaojia came out with Huang Ruiying.

Huang Xiaochuan responded to Ding Xiaojia with a smile, then said to the little girl, "What's wrong? You don't like me picking you up? Then I won't come next time."

The little girl quickly clung to her father's arm, trying to be charming: "Dad! Why are you like this! I was just asking out of curiosity. Look at you, you can't even take a joke."

Qi Huan smiled at the father and daughter and said, "Alright, we're leaving now. Goodbye!"

"Goodbye, Uncle Huang!" Ding Xiaojia waved goodbye to Huang Xiaochuan.

After Qi Huan left with Ding Xiaojia, Huang Xiaochuan said to his son and daughter, "Let's go too. We'll eat out tonight to celebrate your holiday tomorrow. Now you can think about what to eat tonight and tell me later. Now we're going home to pick up Mom."

"Wow! Really!" The little girl exclaimed with delight.
