Although the campus appeared calm again after the investigation team left, the explosive news about Huang Xiaochuan's wealth began to spread in circles, like pebbles thrown into a pond.

Huang Xiaochuan's worries came true. Although the official investigation had ended and the conclusion had been reached, the legendary news that an associate professor at the University of Finance and Economics had a net worth of nearly one billion yuan spread like wildfire in some small circles and became a hot topic of discussion. Huang Xiaochuan, who was well-informed, quickly learned about these rumors from Ding Yi and others.

Huang Xiaochuan knew that this was no longer a place to stay, and if he didn't leave soon, his peaceful life would be over.

He immediately informed Yu Xiang of the recent events and also told her about his next steps.

Although Yu Xiang was worried about this, she also agreed with Huang Xiaochuan's idea, perhaps this was a way to protect their family.

A few days later, on an ordinary summer weekend evening, Huang Xiaochuan invited his parents and in-laws to his home for dinner.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was warm and cozy. Several children chatted excitedly, while several elderly people chatted amongst themselves. Old Huang and Old Yu talked about how to maintain good health, while Zeng Lijuan and Zheng Aiying discussed the plot of a recently popular Korean drama.

Huang Xiaochuan behaved as usual, even more relaxed than usual.

After dinner, the children went to play in their own space, while the adults gathered in the living room to chat and drink tea.

Huang Xiaochuan casually said to his parents and in-laws, "Mom and Dad! There's something I'd like to discuss with you."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Huang Xiaochuan continued, "As you know, I have a lot of business to do outside right now, especially in Hong Kong. As the saying goes, you can't do two things at once. I can't take care of both things right now, so after thinking about it, I've decided to resign from my teaching job at the school to focus on managing my business."

Upon hearing this, everyone except Yu Xiang, with whom they had already communicated, was quite surprised.

Old Yu, in particular, reacted strongly. He frowned and said, "Xiao Chuan, don't you want to reconsider? I think your professorship is hard-won; it would be best to keep it if possible!"

Huang Xiaochuan had already considered the possible reactions from his family. He smiled and said, "Dad! I've thought this through carefully. After all, my business outside is getting bigger and bigger, and it's not good to always let outsiders manage it! I feel more at ease when I'm in charge, right? My teaching job is getting more and more demanding, and I have no choice. You can't do two things at once, so I have to choose one."

Old Yu thought about it carefully and realized that his eldest son-in-law was right. Such a large family business couldn't all be managed by outsiders, could it?

So he stopped insisting and just said, "Think it through yourself!"

Old Huang already knew about his youngest son's capabilities, so he didn't say anything, only remarking, "It's your business, you decide!"

Seeing that his parents didn't react too strongly to his resignation, Huang Xiaochuan felt relieved and told them about his next plan.

"I'll be staying in Hong Kong for a long time because of business, so I thought I'd take you all with me for a while. You've all been before, so it'll be a good opportunity to relax and change your environment."

When Zeng Lijuan, the elderly mother, heard her youngest son say this, her eyes lit up. She loved Hong Kong's prosperity and convenience. This way, she could go on a shopping spree again, and she certainly had the means to do so now.

So she also asked, "Are we all going?"

Huang Xiaochuan laughed and said, "Yes, of course. Our whole family will go, including my uncle, aunt, and grandma. The environment in Hong Kong is nice, and there are places to stay that are readily available and spacious. It will be lively for everyone to get together. You can treat it as a vacation to relax."

Zheng Aiying was both tempted and hesitant: "Wouldn't it be too much trouble?"

Huang Xiaochuan quickly advised, "What's the trouble? We already have a house, it's a waste to leave it empty. Besides, you don't need to worry about anything. A change of environment is good for your health. Hong Kong has a higher level of medical care, so this is a good opportunity to have your bodies checked and treated properly."

At this point, Yu Xiang, who already knew Huang Xiaochuan's true thoughts, also advised her parents: "Mom and Dad! Don't worry about it so much. Just think of it as accompanying your grandson and granddaughter on a vacation. Going out for morning tea and shopping every day is quite nice!"

With Yu Xiang's help, the family members were united in their agreement with Huang Xiaochuan's suggestion.

Seeing that his family members all agreed with his suggestion, Huang Xiaochuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Little Duo, with her sharp ears, heard that the adults were going to Hong Kong and excitedly ran over to hug Huang Xiaochuan's leg: "Daddy! I want to go to Disneyland! I want to see the dolphins!"

Huang Xiaochuan stroked the little girl's smooth hair: "No problem, Daddy will go with you!"

Upon hearing this, the little girl clapped her hands excitedly and boasted, "Oh! Oh! My dad said he's taking me to Disneyland!"

Unfortunately, Huang Zemian and Huang Zeji only glanced at her and continued playing their Go game; the two children weren't interested in Disney.

Seeing their granddaughter (granddaughter-in-law) so excited, Lao Huang, Zeng Lijuan, Lao Yu, and Zheng Aiying were also infected by her excitement and started chatting about Hong Kong's teahouses and dim sum. After all, they had all been there before, but they hadn't been for a few years and were a little unfamiliar with them.

Two days later, Huang Xiaochuan submitted his resignation to the school's personnel department in accordance with regulations. It was the start of summer vacation, and Huang Xiaochuan had arranged his work clearly. With the help of his senior, Hong Yongze, the executive vice president, the new president had no intention of retaining him. Even though Zhuang Yonghua repeatedly persuaded him, Huang Xiaochuan still successfully completed the procedures and resigned from his teaching position at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics.

After all the work was handed over, Huang Xiaochuan wandered around the campus alone for a long time.

He spent ten years here, and it was here that his life underwent a qualitative change. He also met many like-minded classmates and teachers here. It's no exaggeration to say that the University of Finance and Economics was where his career and dreams began. To say he had no feelings for this place would be nonsense!

Before leaving Shanghai, Huang Xiaochuan arranged for someone to secretly investigate the person who wrote the anonymous letter. Having suffered such an inexplicable loss, Huang Xiaochuan couldn't swallow his anger if he didn't find out who it was.

The next day, Huang Xiaochuan and his family boarded a chartered plane and flew to Hong Kong.

Immediately after Huang Xiaochuan left, rumors about his immense wealth spread like wildfire. When reporters tried to find Huang Xiaochuan to find out the truth, they discovered that he had already resigned and was nowhere to be found.

After arriving in Hong Kong, Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Xiang, a married couple, spent the evening gazing at the night view of Victoria Harbour in their Mid-Levels villa.

Huang Xiaochuan had already told Yu Xiang everything honestly, and Yu Xiang understood the difficulties her man faced, which is why she resolutely applied for a long leave from the hospital.

Huang Xiaochuan put his arm around Yu Xiang's shoulder: "I recently set up a hospital here. You don't have much to do at home anyway, why don't you go and manage this hospital for us?"

Yu Xiang initially thought Huang Xiaochuan was talking about a small clinic, so she immediately smiled and agreed.

When they arrived at Hong Tsz Hospital in Happy Valley, they realized they had misunderstood. This was no small clinic; it was a well-known hospital ranked among the top five in Asia in its specialty field.

She looked at Huang Xiaochuan, who had accompanied her to take over the position of director, with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

Huang Xiaochuan naturally knew what Yu Xiang was thinking. He put his arm around Yu Xiang's shoulder and comforted her, "The clinic and the hospital are pretty much the same. Besides, the dean is in charge of the administrative matters. You just need to focus on your professional work."
