The Sweetness of the Seventies

694

Feeling the expectations of Mr. Sun, Huo Yingjie felt something in his heart.

"Okay, I'll work hard." Huo Yingjie said, turning to look at the kitchen, "Mr. Sun, I'm going to say hello to Aunt Li."

"Go ahead, your Aunt Li always talks about you." Mr. Sun smiled. Now that Huo Yingjie is here, what changes will it bring to the Institute of Science and Technology?

Mr. Sun will wait and see.

Chief Engineer Sun knew that he was approaching retirement age. He wanted Huo Yingjie to come back not only for scientific research needs, but also because he wanted Huo Yingjie to take the position of chief engineer.

The Nanshi Research Institute was a lifelong effort of General Engineer Sun, and he was not at ease if it was left in the hands of others.

Although Zhou Yuanchao is good, he always lacks some background and cannot lead the Nanshi Research Institute forward. He can only serve as Huo Yingjie's right-hand man.

Huo Yingjie stood up, walked to the kitchen door, and said with a smile, "Hello Aunt Li!"

"Okay, okay!" Aunt Li said with a smile while cooking. "It's very fumey inside. You can go to the living room to drink tea. Wang Ying and I will finish it in a moment."

"Thank you for your hard work." Huo Yingjie said with a smile, "Then I won't be in the way here. I'll eat ready-made food later."

"Okay, let's go out." Aunt Li kicked people out. The kitchen was really small and there was no space.

Huo Yingjie came out and poured tea for Mr. Sun.

"Aunt Li's cooking is really good, and the cooking is very fragrant." Huo Yingjie praised, "Mr. Sun, you can eat more!"

"When I see you, I can eat more." Mr. Sun said with a smile, knowing that the reason why Huo Yingjie delayed returning to the work for so long was because of his family. Now that he is here, he cannot avoid this topic, "Yingjie Ah, your wife, won’t the kids come with you?”

"Tiantian is going to college and will graduate in one year. Moreover, the children are young, so it might be better in Nanshi. Besides, Tiantian has done some business at home and can't leave." Huo Yingjie answered with a serious tone. A bit melancholy.

Seeing his boss like this, Zhou Yuanchao suddenly felt so happy that his wife gave up such a good job and came to stay with him.

"Oh, then you won't come back in the future?" General Engineer Sun asked with concern. Their work unit is different from other units. As long as you accept the project, you can't leave until it is completed.

Even if you leave, you still have to be protected.

In the final analysis, it is actually surveillance.

"I don't know. Let's talk about it then." Huo Yingjie smiled bitterly. "If they don't come, I will wait until I finish the project and get a vacation before I can go back."

"That's all we can do. I'll grant you more holidays when the time comes." Mr. Sun nodded, "Don't worry, there are always more solutions than problems."

"Yeah." Huo Yingjie could only comfort himself in this way, "By the way, Chief Engineer Sun, do you know what the embarrassing first-level transfer order in front of you is for?"

Mr. Sun smiled and said, "Although this is at home, it's hard to talk about it. Today we are just catching up on old times, and we will talk about work matters in the office tomorrow."

"Haha, Mr. Sun is still so principled." Huo Yingjie praised that it is easy to persist for a week, a month, or a year, but it is difficult to persist for a lifetime.

But Mr. Sun did it.

"If you pay attention, nothing will happen to you," said Mr. Sun. "Anyway, no matter what the task is, for a genius like you, I believe it can be solved easily and you won't let us down!"

"I will try my best." Huo Yingjie smiled, feeling the care of his leaders and colleagues, as well as the satisfaction in his career.

This is also a kind of happiness, which is different from family happiness.

This is how men are, love is not everything in life, and it would be even more perfect if their career could also go straight to the end of the world.

At this time, Huo Yingjie felt much less disappointed.

Aunt Li and Wang Ying prepared the food and brought it out and put it on the table.

Huo Yingjie also brought two bottles of good wine to Mr. Sun. Mr. Sun was happy today and of course he wanted to have a few drinks with his two proud men.

Aunt Li was so happy to see Mr. Sun that she didn't stop her!

Fortunately, both Huo Yingjie and Zhou Yuanchao knew that Mr. Sun should not drink excessively, so they just had a few drinks to satisfy their craving.

Mr. Sun's drinking capacity was not good either. He only drank three ounces and he felt dizzy. After eating something casually, Aunt Li helped him into the house to rest.

"You two keep drinking." Aunt Li said with a smile, not wanting the two juniors to be restrained because of the old man.

Huo Yingjie, Zhou Yuanchao couldn't be so ignorant, and quickly refused: "The food cooked by Aunt Li is so delicious. I haven't eaten for a long time. I will drink wine later. Eat well now."

"Okay, there are a lot of dishes cooked today, so you can eat more." Aunt Li said with a smile, very happy.

The national economic situation has improved, materials are abundant, and more things have been distributed to the Nanshi Science and Technology Research Institute. Mr. Sun is the general person in charge here, and the supply has also increased a lot.

The old couple couldn't finish their meals, and they often called Zhou Yuanchao and Wang Ying to eat together.

The juniors liked her craftsmanship, and Aunt Li was very happy.

After having a full meal, Huo Yingjie, Zhou Yuanchao, and Wang Ying helped wash the pots and dishes before saying goodbye and leaving.

It's already half past nine in the evening.

The moon and stars were sparse, and there were three long reflections on the ground.

"Boss, it's great to have you back." Zhou Yuanchao said melancholy, "I really hope I can be assigned to your group tomorrow and we can do research together."

Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "You have led the team independently now, so don't be an eyesore around me."

"I want to go even if I'm an eyesore." Zhou Yuanchao said angrily, "After all, I am also a genius second only to you. You still dislike me as your right-hand man!"

"Don't mind it, just follow the organization's arrangements." Huo Yingjie smiled, "I don't know what the project will be tomorrow!"

"Hey, if it's for other people, it must be an ordinary project. I specially used a first-level transfer order to transfer you back. It's definitely not an ordinary project." Zhou Yuanchao was excited, which was why he wanted to join Huo Yingjie's project team.

After hearing this, Huo Yingjie smiled bitterly and sighed: "Important projects usually take a long time, and the schedule for returning home is far away!"

"Boss, you just came here today and already you want to go home?" Zhou Yuanchao was surprised and a little confused.

"Hey, I had already thought about it. After graduating from college, I wanted to transfer to the Civilian Research Institute, but..." In front of his good brothers, Huo Yingjie did not hide his thoughts.

"Ah?" Zhou Yuanchao was stunned, "Boss, you are a genius, a genius, how can you live in a place like that?"

Seeing that her husband's voice was a bit loud, Wang Ying attracted the attention of the bodyguards standing guard nearby. She quickly pulled Zhou Yuanchao and reminded: "Okay, boss naturally has his own considerations, so don't make a fuss. No matter what, Brother Huo won't Still here!"
