Becoming a Billionaire after Divorce-Chapter 710 - 261: Huang Han’s Dual Doctorate Degrees (2)

Chapter 710: Chapter 261: Huang Han’s Dual Doctorate Degrees (2)

Watching Wang Xin laughing so hard she couldn’t breathe and Sun Dasheng gloating with delight.

Huang Han said irritably, "It’s not my fault. Who asked him to speak Mandarin so poorly that he pronounced my name, Huang Han, as Wang Hang? How was I supposed to know he was confessing his love to me?"

"Do you think I can be blamed?"

Huang Han’s innocent expression only made the two laugh even harder.

"Oh my, I’m dying of laughter," Wang Xin clutched her stomach, laughing, "Every time this topic comes up, I can’t stop laughing."

Huang Han raised her watch to signal to Sun Dasheng: it’s work time.

But Sun Dasheng pretended not to see it and continued chatting with Wang Xin.

The two seemed like old friends, with endless things to say.

And it was mostly about their own random stuff, making Huang Han so angry she could explode.

No choice, since he’s the boss.

The boss can start work whenever he wants, right?

If not, he’d be no different from a regular employee, clocking in and out on time. What’s the point of being a boss then?

Before they knew it, evening came.

Wang Xin, being very observant, slapped her thigh and said, "Oh my, it’s dinner time already. By the way, there’s still a lot of food left from the lunch you packed. Why don’t we heat it up and have it?"

Huang Han was ready to refuse outright. Who lets the boss eat leftover food at their own place?

Isn’t that just showing a complete lack of emotional intelligence?

But Sun Dasheng nodded happily, "Not bad, if we don’t finish the lunch, it’ll be a waste. Let’s start the clean plate campaign with me."

Oh my!

Are you really this kind of boss?

I can hardly recognize you anymore.

Huang Han thought to herself, you weren’t like this before.

But her feet moved swiftly and she headed to the kitchen to prepare.

Watching Huang Han bustling back and forth, Wang Xin said with some emotion, "President Sun, you wouldn’t know, but back when we were studying, Huang Han was famously lazy. Apart from studying, she didn’t care about anything, she didn’t even know how to do basic chores. But I didn’t expect that after working with you, she’d become so diligent."

"People do change," Sun Dasheng replied.

Unexpectedly, this phrase seemed to hit a nerve with Wang Xin, and she suddenly fell silent, losing interest in the conversation and looking a bit listless.

This left Sun Dasheng a bit confused, wondering if he said something wrong.

So he quietly spoke in the kitchen to Huang Han, who was preparing the meal.

Huang Han seemed to understand something and gritted her teeth, saying, "Scumbag."

"Scumbag?" Sun Dasheng felt a shiver, as if it was directed at him.

Had he been seen through?

Seeing her boss’s strange reaction, Huang Han didn’t think much of it but explained, "It’s not related to you. It’s a long story cut short: my classmate was dumped by a scumbag."

"I see!" Sun Dasheng nodded, then objected, "But that can’t be right. Even though your classmate might not be as good-looking as you, she’s still quite a beauty, right? Plus, she’s a highly educated medical Ph.D. Which man would abandon such a great girlfriend?"

This left Sun Dasheng puzzled.

If he had a girlfriend that good back in school, he’d hold her in his hands gently, afraid she’d slip away, and in his mouth, afraid she’d melt.

Wouldn’t he cherish this treasure sent by the heavens?

Ugh...

Why does his mind think of these cheesy words?

Okay, they’re a bit cheesy.

But any average guy with such a top-tier girlfriend would be secretly glad, not thinking of dumping her, right?

Unless...

He quickly imagined a scenario of a rich and handsome man leading someone on and then abandoning them.

Only to have Huang Han deny it, "That’s not the case, boss. Do you really think there are that many rich and handsome guys at Qingbei? Do you think there are tons of people like you at Qingbei?"

Even if being denied felt unpleasant, for some reason her words also gave him a bit of satisfaction?

"Ahem... Don’t say that. Our country is so big, there have to be a thousand, if not ten thousand, like me, right?"

"Pfft!" Huang Han gave him a dismissive look, "Such a show-off."

"To be precise, among our classmates back then, there wasn’t anyone with conditions like yours." Huang Han stated affirmatively.

"Excessive humility is arrogance, you know?"

Sun Dasheng couldn’t refute that.

"Let’s talk about her boyfriend."

He had no choice but to change the subject.

"Oh, right, it’s all your fault, the topic went completely off track." Huang Han gave him a disdainful look, and then casually said, "Her boyfriend went to the free world in the West after graduation."

"That’s it?" Sun Dasheng was still waiting for more, but she said nothing for a long time.

"What else could it be? It can’t be that complicated." Huang Han looked at him strangely.

"Ahem... is that so? It’s not surprising, these stories of breaking up after graduation are quite common." Sun Dasheng nodded.

"Then why call him a scumbag? Isn’t that kind of choice pretty normal?"

"Because not long ago, he sent her an invitation."

"What kind of invitation?"

"A wedding invitation!"

"What?"

"Yes, just like you think, that man found an older woman abroad, who could be his mom’s age, just to get a green card and stay overseas."

As soon as these words came out.

Sun Dasheng was stunned.

This is really...

He doesn’t want to endure any hardship.

He doesn’t want to take any detours.

"Because of this, she cried for a long time. This is what truly hurt her." Huang Han said.

"The key is that when he was studying domestically, he always showed himself as patriotic, passionate, polite, with aspirations, goals, and ambition, like a model of a new era youth, which attracted Wang Xin. Now you understand, right? Someone originally had such high hopes for him, and when those hopes collapse, the disappointment would be as great, and the backlash to oneself would be severe."

Hypocrite, Yue Buqun.

A word and a name suddenly appeared in Sun Dasheng’s mind.

"Sure, no wonder when I said earlier ’people change’, she suddenly broke down."

...

After dinner, seeing that the mood was still low, Sun Dasheng suggested going out to watch a movie together.

Since it was him who messed up her mood, he felt obliged to make some amends.

Initially, she didn’t respond much to the suggestion, but Huang Han joined in encouraging, so she reluctantly agreed.

As a smart person, she certainly understood the goodwill of these two.

So the three of them finished their meal and drove to the nearest cinema.

After watching the movie, it was already twilight outside, and the bustling city scene passed by their eyes like fleeting images.

Sun Dasheng noticed the night market near the cinema.

So he suggested, "Wanna eat something? It’s been a long time since we’ve had a midnight snack."

Huang Han was inclined to, glanced at her still somewhat gloomy friend, and nudged her with her shoulder: "Eat something? Didn’t you say you’ve been busy lately, haven’t had hometown delicacies for a long time?"

While speaking, she indicated the nearby baked potato stall with her eyes.

"Look, it says authentic Enshi baked potatoes here."

"Oh, is there something special about these baked potatoes? Don’t they all taste the same?"

Sun Dasheng’s curiosity was piqued by their topic.

"They’re not the same." Speaking of her hometown’s delicacies, Wang Xin instantly became interested, went over and greeted the owner in her hometown dialect, ordered a few portions of baked potatoes, and then told the two, "The owner says the potatoes are locally grown in Enshi; when they’re ready, you guys try them, they’re different from the ones elsewhere."

"Really? Then I have to really try them." Sun Dasheng became interested.

"Hmm... how to put it, the taste is indeed different, your potatoes have a richer texture, why is that?" Sun Dasheng wore a face full of inquisitiveness.

Huang Han was eating eagerly, "Wow, you always bragged about your hometown’s baked potatoes, I thought you were exaggerating, but they’re surprisingly delicious."

"Of course." Hearing that her hometown delicacies were praised, Wang Xin’s lips curled up happily.

"Let me tell you, our region’s soil and water have a mineral element: selenium, and our Enshi has a nickname, which is the World Selenium Capital. Selenium is one of the essential trace elements for humans and animals, but the storage globally is very scarce, and our hometown is a place rich in selenium."

"Does this relate to the potatoes?"

"Sure it does, because the soil is rich in trace elements, which makes our potatoes very different from the ones elsewhere."

The specific differences aren’t clear.

Anyway, the taste is different.
