I'm back in 1990

Chapter 305: Newcomer's Onboarding

Gao Yue drifted off to get off work in a daze, then immediately changed her clothes and went home. This was a serious matter; she needed to go back and tell her parents so they could help her make a decision.

After her parents returned, Gao Yue told them what had happened that day.

Apart from her two younger siblings who are still minors and did not participate, Gao Yue's grandparents, parents and other relatives were all stunned by the news.

How could I possibly encounter something like this?

Mr. and Mrs. Gao looked at each other, feeling genuinely uneasy about the matter. If Gao Yue were a boy, they wouldn't be so worried. Although Gao Yue was just an inconspicuous little girl, her parents didn't see it that way; their daughter was the most beautiful.

Mr. Gao asked doubtfully, "Was they just being polite to you?"

Gao Yue shook her head: "It shouldn't be like that. People buy houses like they buy vegetables. If they like a house, they buy it. It's almost a million US dollars! They wouldn't tell me something like that."

Mrs. Gao seemed to be a straightforward person, and she immediately came up with an idea.

"Alright! We'll find out by asking around. If they can afford to spend a million dollars on a villa, why would they want to make trouble for our Ah Yue? It doesn't make sense!"

Mr. Gao agreed with Mrs. Gao's opinion: "Then I'll go and inquire about it tomorrow."

Mr. Gao was a shrewd man, so he asked a friend to inquire at the Bureau of Industry and Commerce. Since it was a Hong Kong-funded enterprise, it must be registered with the Bureau of Industry and Commerce.

The result is obvious: it is indeed a Hong Kong-funded company, and its registered capital is fully paid up. It is a large and powerful company. The Times Supermarket, which has recently opened three or four stores in Shanghai, is also a subsidiary of this company.

Now that this was confirmed, Gao Yue's parents were relieved. Since it was true, they would definitely choose the job! A monthly salary of 1,500 yuan! They knew that Gao Yue's parents' combined income didn't even reach that much!

After the start of the new semester, Huang Xiaochuan became busy again because the Hang Seng Index was fluctuating.

In early September, Huang Xiaochuan instructed Min Huifen by phone to go long on Hang Seng Index futures at 7250 points. A few days later, the eleventh round of consultations between the central delegation and the British Hong Kong government concluded smoothly, and the outside world was optimistic about Hong Kong's economic prospects. Starting from September 6, the Hang Seng Index rose all the way up. When the Hang Seng Index approached 7600 points, Huang Xiaochuan instructed Min Huifen to sell. In just over ten days, Huang Xiaochuan's futures account had more than 80 million US dollars.

When Min Huifen congratulated Huang Xiaochuan on the phone, Huang Xiaochuan didn't feel anything special. He just felt that the number in his account had increased. This was normal. The sensory stimulation of having an 80 million dollar account number in front of you is different from having 80 million dollars in cash in front of you.

Ding Yi also made a killing in the Hong Kong stock market, earning a fortune. It's worth noting that the Hong Kong stock market operates on a T+0 trading model, which suited Ding Yi perfectly. Although he sometimes stumbled, he reacted quickly and recovered just in time to make a comeback. Moreover, the Hong Kong stock market was generally on an upward trend that year.

In this way, the funds in his Hong Kong stock account reached HK$200 million. Of course, there was also a portion of the money from Huang Xiaochuan and Chen Zhe. However, for every HK$100 that Huang Xiaochuan and Chen Zhe earned, he would receive HK$15. This was something the three of them had agreed on beforehand. Of course, they would bear the risks themselves, and if they lost money, they would share the losses proportionally. This approach was somewhat similar to that of a private equity fund.

That year, the tax-sharing system was officially implemented, and the original tax bureau was split into national tax and local tax.

Qi Huan was assigned to the newly established State Taxation Bureau, mainly because of her CPA certificate. There are very few people in the financial and tax system with this certificate. Generally speaking, having a CPA means a high salary in a foreign company, which is much higher than a fixed salary in the system.

For example, if Qi Huan went to the finance department of one of the Big Four accounting firms or a Fortune 500 multinational company, even if she didn't have much work experience, her annual salary of 70,000 to 80,000 yuan would be a must. Don't ask why it's so high; that's the golden boost that comes with a CPA certification.

After the start of the school year, Huang Xiaochuan was busy not only monitoring the Hang Seng Index fluctuations, but also frequently visiting the library to research materials.

There was no other way! Ever since Huang Xiaochuan started his senior year, Grandpa Wang Deyi had been keeping an eye on him, assigning him a lot of extra homework. Huang Xiaochuan was suffering terribly. He had originally planned to leisurely get through his senior year and just write a paper to graduate, but things didn't go as planned!

Yu Xiang also thought that Huang Xiaochuan had changed his ways and started to work hard.

You should know that this guy never reads professional books at home. He either reads the news, newspapers, or videotapes copied by Mai Guangde. All he thinks about is making money.

These days I hardly go out anymore. Every day when I come back, I bury myself in my books in the study, writing and drawing.

It was 10:30 p.m., and seeing that Huang Xiaochuan was still in the study, Yu Xiang made him a cup of malted milk powder and brought it over.

Quietly pushing open the door, Huang Xiaochuan was scratching his head, deep in thought.

"Drink some malted milk powder to supplement your nutrition."

Huang Xiaochuan checked the time: "You're still awake?"

"I'm going to sleep soon. You seem really busy lately? Are you preparing your graduation thesis? There's no need to rush. You can start preparing next semester."

Huang Xiaochuan sighed: "What graduation thesis? I don't have time to think about it right now. The old man has gone crazy and assigned me a ton of homework, like the gains and losses of my country's economy over the past ten years, how my country's macroeconomy will develop in the future, and how to develop a new rural economy for the future."

"Look at this, is this a college student's assignment? I've lost so much hair, I guess I'm not cut out for academia, otherwise I'll go bald before I'm even born."

Yu Xiang suppressed a laugh and gently nudged him: "Alright, stop complaining. Rome wasn't built in a day. It's your own fault for not studying hard enough. Now you're regretting not having studied enough, aren't you?"

"Yu Wei called me this afternoon and asked me to ask when you're free so we can come to his house for dinner."

Huang Xiaochuan replied without hesitation, "No way. If we eat at their house, I'll be the one cooking anyway. Neither of them knows how to cook!"

Yu Xiang got annoyed and lightly slapped Huang Xiaochuan on the back: "Are you going or not?"

Actually, Huang Xiaochuan was just putting on an act: "Okay, I'll go! Alright?"

Yu Xiang's anger turned to joy: "Then let's do it this Saturday night! Everyone has the day off the next day."

"Okay! Saturday it is then!"

After confirming that Mai Guangde was not a counterfeit, Gao Yue took Mai Guangde's business card and went to the company.

The company was located in Xujiahui, and it was actually an old villa. Gao Yue walked into the courtyard with trepidation.

She met Mai Guangde there.

Mai Guangde asked her, "Have you thought it through?"

Gao Yue pursed her lips and nodded.

"So what's your choice?"

"I want this job," Gao Yue said without hesitation.

Mai Guangde smiled, picked up the phone on his desk, and dialed an internal line.

"Shirley, come to my office for a moment."

After the person entered the office, Mai Guangde pointed at Gao Yue and said, "Xie Li, take her to complete the onboarding procedures. Her monthly salary is 1,500 yuan. Put her in your department and let her work as a receptionist for now."

"Okay, Assistant Mai!"

According to the onboarding process, Gao Yue had to fill out an onboarding registration form, which she quickly completed and handed to Xie Li.

Xie Li glanced at it casually, then her eyes widened immediately as she looked at Gao Yue in disbelief: "High school graduate? Nineteen years old?"

Gao Yue smiled sheepishly: "Yes!"

"Who introduced you?" Sherry wanted to know.

Gao Yue replied truthfully, "Assistant Mai gave me a business card and asked me to come."

Sheryl didn't believe it, but it was true. She still followed the procedures to complete Gao Yue's onboarding process and informed her of some important points.
