Chapter 500: Chapter 471 Incomprehension, Explanation, Waiting for an Opportunity_1

Zhou Yuan Chao frowned, not understanding why the boss was so calm!

Having one’s hard work stolen, shouldn’t the boss have thrown a fit, made a scene?

"Boss, just tell me, what’s your plan?" Zhou Yuan Chao asked, he could no longer guess what the boss was thinking!

Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "Don’t rush, have a drink of water, I’ll explain it to you slowly."

Zhou Yuan Chao, upon hearing Huo Yingjie say this, picked up his cup, drank a few sips, and felt his anger subsiding a bit, not as impatient as before!

"It’s quite simple, someone wants to pick peaches," Huo Yingjie said, "our project is very significant. Once it’s completed, one can earn a great reward and leave a mark in history. Those below want the reward; those above want fame, and credit."

"But those guys are taking the cream in such an ugly way," Zhou Yuan Chao said, "our hard work can’t be all stolen by them, right? You are from the Huo Family, are those people deliberately targeting you? Or maybe Director Qian and others just don’t know your family background and circumstances."

"Hehe, everyone’s data is in their hands, how could they not know?" Huo Yingjie sneered coldly, obviously, these people were targeting the Huo Family.

"Then if the Huo Family is so powerful, isn’t it too reckless for those people to do this?" Zhou Yuan Chao said, in his mind, the Huo Family also had a very influential familial power.

"Although our Huo Family isn’t entirely unknown, we don’t stand out in their eyes," Huo Yingjie said coldly, with his experiences from a previous life, he would not let things slide so easily.

If it had been before, he might have accepted it, but now!

He not only wanted to smash their teeth but to poison them as well!

"Then... then what should we do?" When Zhou Yuan Chao saw his boss’s sinister expression, he knew that the boss’s feelings were not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

This was good; he was genuinely worried that the boss would swallow such a dumb loss and be unable to lift his head for the rest of his life.

"Hehe, wait," Huo Yingjie said, "when you’re working from now on, pay attention, and if you encounter anything you don’t understand, you can come back and discuss it with me. Also, you need to observe the others to see if anyone has added or changed anything in our project."

"Boss, do you suspect?" Zhou Yuan Chao’s surprise and uncertainty grew, as their plan had undergone rigorous calculation and had been tested, already achieving an optimal state.

No matter what changes were made, the results were not as good as those they had originally set.

"Yes, those people will make some superficial changes to our plan to showcase their abilities and deny my efforts," Huo Yingjie said with contempt in his expression. "As you know, those who can do such things have no shame, but they also fear being pointed at and cursed behind their backs. If they make modifications on my basis, and can also produce it, they will only say that my previous plan wasn’t good, that they made some improvements. As for whether those improvements are genuinely better, who will care?"

Zhou Yuan Chao nodded with a bitter heart and said, "So, our hard work is just going to be ruined by those people?"

"Hehe, my plan isn’t something that just anyone can change. If there are differences, don’t argue with them; just do your job well. Given your good relationship with me, I guess you’ll be given some trivial assignments. Don’t be impatient; when the time comes, there will be a chance to deal with them," Huo Yingjie said. "By the way, you just need to tell me what changes they made."

"Got it, boss," Zhou Yuan Chao said, seeing that the boss had confidence, he wasn’t as angry as before.

Since the boss said so, there must be a strategy to cope with it; all he had to do was to follow what the boss said.

Zhou Yuan Chao felt despondent, and Huo Yingjie comforted him, "Good things come with difficulty, don’t feel too sad. After this affair is over, maybe we can go back to the research institute in Nan City. I don’t want to stay here anymore."

"Me neither, I don’t want to stay here either," Zhou Yuan Chao muttered, "We’ve worked hard to contribute to the research institute because it’s our ideal and mission. But what did we get? Are we just going to be henchmen in scientific research?"

Huo Yingjie was angry too, but was getting angry useful?

It was clear that others wanted to rob you of your possessions, and if you resisted, you would face disaster.

Director Qian and Cheng Hui’s attitude was very simple, only thinking about seizing the achievements in Huo Yingjie’s hands, but they did not plan to kill Huo Yingjie. This was not just because Huo Yingjie was an outstanding tech personnel, but also because of the Huo Family’s power.

"Indeed, I can’t accept this either," Huo Yingjie said. They both understand national and ethnic righteousness, but they don’t want to be treated unfairly.

"Chief Engineer Sun must feel the same way as we do," Zhou Yuan Chao said. Even now, Chief Engineer Sun doesn’t have personal freedom, but he still gives his all without worrying about gains and losses.

"Maybe so," Huo Yingjie said, "We can’t match Chief Engineer Sun’s great sense of national duty, but we are patriotic too. It’s just that my patience has its limits. If those people go too far, I will make them pay the price."

Despite all the injustices Chief Engineer Sun suffered and the contributions he made to his lifelong work, apart from people close to him who knew his achievements and the leaders above, who else knew?

Huo Yingjie and Zhou Yuan Chao often feel indignant for Chief Engineer Sun!

Once, Huo Yingjie couldn’t hold back and spoke up. Chief Engineer Sun just laughed freely and told him, "If I cared about fame and material life, I wouldn’t have come back. I don’t care about those accolades or rewards. I just hope what I have learned can become stronger; everything else is indifferent. Besides, they haven’t treated me unfairly; my material life is secure."

Such noble sentiments made Huo Yingjie feel ashamed.

In both his past and current lives, Huo Yingjie couldn’t achieve this, so he admired Chief Engineer Sun even more.

Stubbornly adorable, respectable!

Huo Yingjie couldn’t be like that!

If you don’t rob mine, I won’t rob yours.

If you rob mine, I’ll take the pot from your house too.

"Ah, let’s not talk anymore, let’s sleep," Zhou Yuan Chao said in a muffled voice, despite being hungry, he didn’t even want to eat anymore.

Even if Huo Yingjie was confident, he wasn’t carefree enough to eat without a worry in the world.

The next day, Leader Chen, along with Cheng Hui, came to the office where Huo Yingjie used to work.

Leader Chen’s team, after Huo Yingjie and Zhou Yuan Chao left, although they had some accomplishments, the work progress had slowed a lot, and there were more or less some issues with the plans, barely passable!

Mediocre!

That was Director Qian’s evaluation of Leader Chen!
