Chapter 501: Chapter 472: Elder, You Also Deserve?_1

Director Qian had no idea how Leader Chen, a person like her, could possibly be connected to that person?

Why would someone like Cheng Hui end up working under Leader Chen?

What was the connection between them?

"Huo Yingjie, Old Chen, please hand over the work," Director Qian said, "Because Director Chen was transferred over and is in charge of the precision instrument project that Huo Yingjie was responsible for. Now that there’s nobody in charge of Leader Chen’s project, Huo Yingjie, you take over. This is all to ensure we can achieve results as soon as possible, everyone must comply with the arrangement."

Director Qian gave Huo Yingjie a meaningful look; this was the biggest concession he could secure for Huo Yingjie.

Huo Yingjie had already learned about last night’s argument between Director Qian, Leader Chen, and Cheng Hui.

Director Qian indeed had his own difficulties, managing to get Huo Yingjie leadership of a group; evidently, he did not want Huo Yingjie to hold a grudge or become disheartened.

Director Qian’s intentions were good, but Huo Yingjie was not grateful.

Since it was already like this, Huo Yingjie had no choice.

"Huo Yingjie, hurry up, the task is heavy and time is pressing, quickly do the handover," Leader Chen said, feeling triumphant inside. Because of Huo Yingjie, Zhou Yuanchao’s departure had caused him to lose face, in addition to the subsequent work not going smoothly, he had not had an easy time here.

A couple of days ago, his student suddenly came to tell him to take over Huo Yingjie’s work, which left him full of suspicion, even thinking that Cheng Hui was joking.

It was only now that Leader Chen realized this was no joke—it was true, he really became the project leader.

Although he disliked Huo Yingjie, Leader Chen had to admit to himself that Huo Yingjie was excellent and also paid close attention to Huo Yingjie’s project.

Huo Yingjie’s project was nearing completion; why was he removed at the final phase?

He had asked Cheng Hui in detail, but Cheng Hui kept saying he did not know.

Although Leader Chen might not have much specialized knowledge, he was quite familiar with these secretive twists and turns. Thinking about how Cheng Hui was introduced by that person, he vaguely understood what was going on!

Hehe, regardless, the credit for this project was about to become his, Leader Chen was very happy and did not care about those frivolous concerns.

Huo Yingjie chuckled and said, "That’s only natural! Leader Chen is highly regarded and skilled, certainly able to provide better suggestions and plans, and will make breakthroughs on the foundation I’ve laid."

Leader Chen chuckled and said, "Young man, it’s good to be clever, but experience is also very important."

"That’s true, but I believe my plan is the best, I have that confidence. I hope despite your vast experience, Leader Chen, you won’t change my plan. You know, I stand out with my abilities, a genius," Huo Yingjie’s voice rose before falling, provoking Leader Chen.

He had seen plenty like him before.

If he showed weakness, perhaps Leader Chen wouldn’t change anything.

On the contrary, if he insisted Leader Chen couldn’t change it, Chen might alter it just to save face.

As long as a change was made, Huo Yingjie would find an opportunity to take advantage.

"Hehe, young man, don’t be complacent," Leader Chen’s face looked ugly; he had looked over the plan and knew it was excellent. It was best not to make changes, but now that Huo Yingjie had said this, unless he had no shame, he would surely make some adjustments.

"No, this isn’t complacency, it’s confidence," Huo Yingjie replied, "Hehe, Leader Chen just doesn’t understand the world of geniuses, which is understandable."

"Hmph! Please hand over the work as soon as possible," Leader Chen snorted coldly; after all, he was about to take over Huo Yingjie’s work results, so he didn’t mind.

Huo Yingjie shrugged and said, "Considering the unpleasantness before, I think Leader Chen should do the handover first."

Huo Yingjie was no fool—if after he completed the handover, Leader Chen’s poor group refused to cooperate or Chen was unwilling to handover, Huo Yingjie would have to waste a lot of energy cleaning up Leader Chen’s mess.

"You..." Leader Chen glared furiously, "There are priorities in every matter; this precision instrument project is very urgent, you can’t ignore the bigger picture!"

"Hehe!" Huo Yingjie didn’t get angry but scoffed coldly, "If I ignored the bigger picture, would you have replaced me so quickly and taken credit for my work? Leader Chen, you really have a way with things, your skin is really thick, you must have practiced the Thick-skinned Study."

"This is an organizational arrangement. If you’re not satisfied, go find Director Qian," Leader Chen yelled, "Young man, don’t be rash, you have to respect your elders."

"Elders?" Huo Yingjie laughed, "You’re not worthy!"

With that, he turned and left.

"Huo Yingjie, where are you going?" Cheng Hui saw Huo Yingjie about to leave and went forward to pull him back.

Just as Cheng Hui’s hand landed on Huo Yingjie’s shoulder, Huo Yingjie had already reversed his grip onto Cheng Hui’s arm.

Little Rotating Turtle used this opportunity to quickly read Cheng Hui’s memories.

Hehe, indeed, it was that person!

Huo Yingjie was even more certain now.

"Of course to hand over," Huo Yingjie said, "If you don’t want to, that’s fine by me, I’ll sort things out slowly."

Huo Yingjie’s work achievements had been taken by someone else, so his being upset and petulant was quite a normal reaction in many peoples sight.

Even if Leader Chen blustered about going to see Director Qian, he was just talking and never actually went.

Because he felt guilty since he was not in the right.

"Huo Yingjie, you’ve got guts," Leader Chen remarked, "Cheng Hui, let’s go, let’s see what exactly Huo Yingjie wants!"

Those outside, like Zhou Yuanchao and Sun Chengzhi, were unaware of these struggles.

When they found out Huo Yingjie had been sent back to his former group, they were full of uncertainty.

Truthfully, they wanted to follow Huo Yingjie, but they couldn’t abandon their current project, which was their own hard work.

"Boss, I..." Regardless of others, Zhou Yuanchao didn’t care; he wanted to follow the boss.

Huo Yingjie chuckled and said, "Yuan Chao, everyone has contributed to this project, so please continue to work hard and not waste this rare opportunity."

"Boss..." Sun Chengzhi was troubled, "Boss, once we finish our tasks, we’ll come looking for you!"

"Right, we’re still a good team, so give it your all," Huo Yingjie said, looking at the others.

The others dared not speak or offer Huo Yingjie any words of comfort in Leader Chen’s presence.

Realistically, Huo Yingjie understood their dilemma; they were colleagues who worked together, not family or friends, so there was no need for them to offend Leader Chen for his sake.

After all, the future outcomes were in Leader Chen’s hands.

"All right, take care, everyone," Huo Yingjie nodded and walked ahead.

Leader Chen knew Huo Yingjie was not easy to deal with, but he hadn’t expected Huo Yingjie to be so venomous with his words!

During the work handover, Leader Chen was almost at his breaking point!
