Chapter 835: Chapter 804 Job Transfer

Niu Dajun smiled and said, "After coming to Yanjing, I realized that I was like a frog in a well before. There are many business opportunities here, and we’ve bought a house too. You focus on your singing, and I’ll focus on doing business, and we can definitely thrive more and more."

"Yes, I firmly believe that too," Qi Xiaoyan said, "Let’s work hard together."

The family then settled in amidst novelty and exploration.

Qi Rongmin stayed for more than ten days, toured historical sites, took lots of photos, and left with many souvenirs, reluctantly.

Qi Xiaoyan selected some photos and sent them along with a thick bundle of letters to He Tiantian.

When He Tiantian saw that Qi Xiaoyan and Niu Dajun had settled down, she could finally feel at ease.

"Yingjie, even if our parents move back to Yanjing in a couple of years, we would still have a place to live," He Tiantian said with a smile, "Compared to Yanjing, I still prefer Nan City. How about you?"

"I grew up in Nan City as well, so naturally, I have a special fondness for Nan City," Huo Yingjie said, "I’ll stay with you in Nan City. As for my parents, they’re still young and can still contribute to socialism for another twenty years."

"Hehe," He Tiantian laughed, not teasing Huo Yingjie as she usually did, "Just to let you know, I’ve invested all our money."

"What’s yours is yours," Huo Yingjie said, "Also, I still have some money in my bankbook, around seven or eight thousand, which you can take if you need."

"Yes, I will," He Tiantian said, "I will give you enough pocket money, so you won’t even have to worry about not having enough money to treat people."

Huo Yingjie didn’t smoke, and he drank very little, so He Tiantian directly ignored those aspects.

"Mm, thanks for your generosity, my dear," Huo Yingjie said with a smile, since he didn’t need to spend money in the office where they provided meals and his portion was more than sufficient.

While Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian were dreaming about their future beautiful life in Nan City, Chief Engineer Sun dropped a "bombshell" on Huo Yingjie.

"Yingjie, your work is outstanding," Chief Engineer Sun praised, "I am very satisfied."

Huo Yingjie frowned, as ordinarily, Chief Engineer Sun wouldn’t say such things before the work was finished.

"Chief Engineer Sun, just tell me if there’s any project," Huo Yingjie asked, finding it hard to adapt to Chief Engineer Sun’s indirect way.

Chief Engineer Sun gave a wry smile and sighed, "Well, this temple cannot hold such a big Buddha like you."

"Ah?" Huo Yingjie was astonished, "What do you mean? Are you also trying to get rid of me?"

Huo Yingjie was inexplicably excited.

"Dream on!" Chief Engineer Sun chuckled, "The Yanjing Scientific and Technological Committee Directly Affiliated Research Institute wants to transfer you to work on a project. I guess once you’ve completed it, they won’t let you come back here."

Huo Yingjie paused and said, "It won’t be like before, working away for two or three years without coming home, will it?"

Chief Engineer Sun looked at him with a disappointed expression, "Can you put more focus on your career?"

"Well, I was just thinking of balancing both family and career," Huo Yingjie said, "Chief Engineer Sun, do tell me the truth. If I can’t come home every day, make sure it’s not more than a week at most; otherwise, please reject it for me."

"Reject?" Chief Engineer Sun was infuriated, "Do you know how important this project is? Many people can only dream of such an opportunity."

"Hehe!" Huo Yingjie was concerned he might literally make the old man sick with frustration, "No rejection, no rejection, I was just thinking of giving more time to my family. Actually, every time I return home, and come back here, I am full of energy, my mind is especially clear, and my work efficiency is very high; it’s worth twice the effort."

"Hehe, indeed," Chief Engineer Sun said with an enigmatic smile, giving Huo Yingjie a meaningful look, "I wonder if you do that on purpose?"

"Cough cough!" Huo Yingjie touched his nose, "Chief Engineer Sun, I can’t hide anything from you!"

"It’s only because you are truly capable. If it were someone else, they would have been locked up in some dark room by now," Chief Engineer Sun said with a shake of his head and a chuckle, "Don’t worry, that project will be carried out inside a big enterprise’s factory. It shouldn’t be in the middle of nowhere; you should be able to come home every day."

Huo Yingjie’s eyes brightened upon hearing this, which was even better than at the Nan City Research Institute.

"That’s fine," Huo Yingjie nodded, "I’ll go, and I definitely won’t let you down."

"Ah, when you get to Yanjing, it won’t be like here with me. You’ll have to keep your head down and not be so casual," Chief Engineer Sun said, "But you can’t be too timid either. After all, you have many achievements to your name, and moreover, Yanjing is the Huo Family’s stronghold. Although your father and uncle are currently pursuing their careers, your grandfather made his name fighting wars. He still holds some influence, and since you are already recognized there, if you work hard and diligently, your future will certainly be boundless."

Chief Engineer Sun had already spoken to that old friend about Huo Yingjie, and that person also highly regarded him.

With capabilities and power, if he didn’t rise to a higher position, it could only mean Huo Yingjie was unlucky.

But obviously, Huo Yingjie wasn’t an unlucky person.

Initially, Chief Engineer Sun wanted to train Huo Yingjie to eventually take over his position, but he wasn’t the only one who saw Huo Yingjie’s potential. This departure from Nan City to Yanjing would open up even broader horizons for him.

Touched by this, Huo Yingjie nodded and said, "Thank you for looking after me, Chief Engineer Sun. I’ve always remembered it and dare not forget."

"Alright, just work hard in the future as a way to thank me," Chief Engineer Sun said, "Go back now. Wrap up the work you have at hand; you need to report there soon."

"Yes," Huo Yingjie nodded, looking carefully at Chief Engineer Sun, noticing he had aged more than before.

Thinking about Chief Engineer Sun’s kindness, Huo Yingjie decided in a few days to give some vitality pills from his storage space to Chief Engineer Sun, hoping that Chief Engineer Sun and Aunt Li could stay healthy and live long lives.

"Alright, you should go now," Chief Engineer Sun said, feeling somewhat sad, but he didn’t want to show his feelings in front of Huo Yingjie, to spare the younger generation from seeing it.

Huo Yingjie stood up to leave, and as he closed the door, he took one more look at Chief Engineer Sun.

After returning, Huo Yingjie worked with single-minded focus. In five days, he completed the final testing of the project, assembled the materials, and personally delivered them to Chief Engineer Sun.

Chief Engineer Sun looked through the materials and said, "Mm, very good! Well done. Yingjie, you’ve never let those who believed in you down!"

Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "I just did my best."

"Right, it’s hard to stand alone," Chief Engineer Sun said, "Take Yuan Chao with you."

"Ah?" Huo Yingjie was startled, "I can take Yuan Chao with me?"

"Yes," Chief Engineer Sun said, "That boy will do better by your side. After all, I’m about to retire soon and won’t be able to protect him for much longer."
