Chapter 219: VIP Room
Chapter 219: VIP Room
November 4th, Wednesday.
Huang Xiaochuan led his other roommates from room 222 to the stock exchange, with Yang Junmin and a few others following closely behind in a Ford.
As per the pre-arranged plan, Huang Xiaochuan parked his car in an alleyway a few hundred meters from the stock exchange. Yang Junmin parked his car behind Huang Xiaochuan's, and the ten people got out and walked to the stock exchange.
Wu Duo continued the conversation they had been having in the car. Today, when Huang Xiaochuan personally drove them to the stock exchange, all three of them, except for Ding Yi, were surprised by Huang Xiaochuan's car. Only then did they realize that Huang Xiaochuan had bought a car.
As for the driver's license issue, Ding Yi will naturally explain it to Huang Xiaochuan; Huang Xiaochuan only needs to drive safely.
When asked about the background of Zhou Wei and the others, Huang Xiaochuan told them that they were employees of his uncle's factory, and his uncle had sent them to assist them in case something went wrong.
They all agreed that their uncle was very thoughtful, and that they would definitely treat him to a big meal the next time he came to Shanghai!
Fortunately, they arrived at the stock exchange a day later. Soon, they heard that the first day of new share sales yesterday had almost caused a fatality due to overcrowding. The order at the exchange was much better today, but there were still quite a lot of people. The stockbrokers persistently asked those queuing to buy new shares if anyone could sell them their subscription certificates that had been won in the lottery.
Zhou Wei and his men protected Huang Xiaochuan and the others, and they stood at the end of the line to queue up.
Some people noticed that Huang Xiaochuan and Ding Yi were carrying rather heavy bags and tried to approach them to chat, but they were stopped by Zhou Wei and his group. When these people saw that Zhou Wei and his group were very strong and had short haircuts, they felt that they couldn't afford to mess with them, so they left dejectedly.
"Xiao Chuan, your uncle is so thoughtful. Otherwise, we would have been driven crazy by his inconvenience." Ding Yi kept praising Huang Xiao Chuan's uncle, and Huang Xiao Chuan smiled but didn't say anything.
Just as the group was halfway through the line, a heated argument broke out from the back of the line.
"Don't you have any sense of public decency? So many people are in line, and you actually cut in line? That's outrageous!"
"Which eye of yours saw me cut in line? Please help me out. I've been standing here for a while. I just went to the restroom and asked this gentleman to keep an eye on me."
"You're talking nonsense. I never saw you standing in front of me."
"Hey, you little slut, you want me to slap you?"
"Come on, if you dare!"
As Huang Xiaochuan listened, the voice sounded somewhat familiar, so he stuck his head out and looked behind him.
Upon closer inspection, I exclaimed, "Oh my god, it's her!"
The person arguing with is Zhang Yun, a statistics professor who usually likes to act young.
At this moment, she displayed the fierce and tough personality typical of women from Northeast China, and got into a fight with someone.
Seeing that Zhang Yun was outnumbered and about to suffer a loss, Huang Xiaochuan, along with Zhou Wei, He Guang, Yang Junmin, and others, went to help.
A slick-looking man in his thirties raised his hand as if to hit Zhang Yun, but Huang Xiaochuan, who had just arrived, grabbed his wrist.
Seeing that a Cheng Yaojin had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, the slick-haired man and his companions wanted to challenge Huang Xiaochuan, but after struggling for a long time, they still couldn't break free from Huang Xiaochuan's grasp. His companions wanted to step forward to help, but they were frightened and shrank back when Zhou Wei and the others who had stepped forward stood up.
The slick-haired man, no longer daring to use force, bluffed, "You just wait, don't run away if you dare!" Then he and his companions ran off.
Having helped Zhang Yun out of that awkward situation, she didn't even thank Huang Xiaochuan. Instead, she asked, "Huang Xiaochuan? What are you doing here?"
Seeing that Zhang Yun was alright, Huang Xiaochuan said to He Guang, "This is an acquaintance of mine. You stay here with her."
He Guang nodded to indicate that he understood. "1990, I'm Back" - a novel with stunning writing and a captivating plot! He stayed by Zhang Yun's side and wouldn't leave.
After explaining things to He Guang, Huang Xiaochuan returned to his original group, completely ignoring Zhang Yun without even a word of thanks. The first thing she asked Huang Xiaochuan was, "What are you doing here?" Of course, he was here to buy stocks. Was he here to play house?
Seeing that Huang Xiaochuan ignored her and left, Zhang Yun was furious!
She then asked He Guang, who was standing beside her, "Who are you? What's your relationship with Huang Xiaochuan? What's he doing here?"
Unfortunately, He Guang had been given a gag order before leaving home. He was told to do whatever was assigned to him today and not to speak. So he pretended not to hear Zhang Yun's questions.
Seeing that he knew nothing when asked, Zhang Yun had no choice but to shut up, thinking that it wouldn't be too late to ask him in detail when she got back to school.
When Huang Xiaochuan returned after leaving the group, Wu Duo asked him, "What were you doing just now?"
Huang Xiaochuan clenched his fist and casually pointed behind him with his thumb: "The person arguing with someone just now was Ms. Zhang, who teaches our statistics class. Someone tried to bully her, and we chased them away."
Ding Yi exclaimed, "Holy crap! Now she knows we're here to buy new shares, right?"
University professors are different from high school and middle school teachers. They are only responsible for their teaching duties and not for managing student affairs. Therefore, students may not feel any awe or reverence when they meet university professors outside of school, but they still have basic respect for them.
Soon, the group reached the counter of Shenyin Securities. Huang Xiaochuan picked up his bag and placed it on the counter, then unzipped it to show the staff inside.
This guy startled the staff at Shenyin Securities, who were in charge of registering and selling the shares. She was a little stunned when she saw the neatly bundled subscription certificates in her bag. Since yesterday, she had seen countless people come to register to buy the original shares with their winning subscription certificates, but those were all small fry. The most she had ever met was someone who had won 32 out of 200 subscription certificates.
However, she quickly realized what was happening and said to Huang Xiaochuan, "Comrade, please wait a moment."
She ran over and said something to a middle-aged man behind the counter, then pointed in Huang Xiaochuan's direction. The middle-aged man then led the female clerk to the counter.
"Hello, sir. My name is Yuan Chen, and I am a client manager at Shenyin Securities. Considering that you have won a large number of subscription certificates, you are considered a major client. Our company provides VIP room services for major clients. Please follow me to the VIP room, and we will arrange for someone to receive you."
Huang Xiaochuan pointed to Ding Yi, Wu Duo, and the others: "We're all together."
Account manager Yuan Chen said with a beaming smile, "Since you're all together, you must be our big clients. Shall we move to the VIP room together?"
Yuan Chen personally led the group to the VIP room, a scene that Zhang Yun, who was standing at the back, witnessed clearly, which only fueled her curiosity.
In the VIP room, two staff members helped the group register and purchase the winning shares, with Yuan Chen accompanying them throughout the process.
When the group took out their ID cards to register, the three staff members, including Yuan Chen, were all taken aback. Four of the five people had ID cards registered under the university's collective household registration system, and the third person, although registered as a local resident, seemed to be a classmate of the other four. Are university students these days really this awesome?
When Huang Xiaochuan and Ding Yi took out the subscription certificate from their bag, Yuan Chen was still surprised, even though he was somewhat prepared, not to mention the other two staff members in charge of VIP business.
The pile drivers outside are now offering a high price of 1,000 yuan per certificate to buy the subscription certificates. How much would it cost to have so many subscription certificates in one bag?
