Chapter 836: Chapter 805: Delivering Medicine, Explanation

Huo Yingjie naturally agreed, but Zhou Yuan Chao was thriving at the Nan City Research Institute, and abandoning this post seemed rather regrettable, didn’t it?

For his good brother’s sake, Huo Yingjie also wanted to hear Chief Engineer Sun’s opinion.

"I know what you mean, you think it’s a pity for Zhou Yuan Chao to leave here, right?" Chief Engineer Sun said as if he could see right into Huo Yingjie’s heart.

"Yes," Huo Yingjie nodded. He indeed felt it was a pity, "Aside from this reason, is there any other?"

Zhou Yuan Chao’s disastrous ordeal had passed, and he had survived to this day without further incidents.

Chief Engineer Sun sighed, "Ah, Zhou Yuan Chao has an even worse temperament than you, only you can keep him in line. Moreover, his abilities aren’t sufficient to lead a team independently; he can only complete small projects and has a hard time achieving greatness. But with you, it’s different. You can show him the direction, and Zhou Yuan Chao can quickly grasp it and work efficiently. He’s a rare talent and coordinates well with you."

Huo Yingjie nodded. In his previous life, the incident with Zhou Yuan Chao happened precisely because of these two reasons, which had led to a great disaster.

"That is indeed the case," Huo Yingjie nodded, "Alright, I’ll take Zhou Yuan Chao with me. This way, we can support each other in the new place and not be isolated and helpless."

"Hmm, that’s what I was thinking," said Chief Engineer Sun, "When you get to the new place, do well and don’t let my earnest teachings be in vain."

"Yes, Chief Engineer Sun." Huo Yingjie nodded and then took out two bottles of pills from his pocket, "Chief Engineer Sun, these are fitness pills made by an old traditional doctor for my family’s elderly. They are made from fine medicinal herbs with an ancient secret formula. After taking them, they improve health. My family elders are already taking them. These two bottles are for you."

Chief Engineer Sun smiled, took them, opened the lid, and smelled, "Seems to have a very pure scent."

"Yes, one pill every three months," Huo Yingjie said, "Just take it with warm water."

Chief Engineer Sun didn’t want to disappoint Huo Yingjie’s kindness, and since he needed them recently, he took out a pill and put it in his mouth, swallowing it with the warm water in the cup on the table.

After taking it, Chief Engineer Sun immediately felt a warm sensation in his stomach, unlike the usual bloating.

"Not bad, I’ll take these pills," Chief Engineer Sun said, "It seems like enough for one person for two years. Do I need to store them in the refrigerator?"

"No need, just keep them at room temperature," Huo Yingjie said, "Once you finish them, I’ll send more to you and Aunt Li!"

"Can these be given to others?" Chief Engineer Sun asked, thinking of an old friend.

"No, they have been customized according to your conditions," Huo Yingjie said, "They have your names on them, you shouldn’t mix them up."

In reality, Huo Yingjie had just written their names temporarily; actually, the formula was suitable for anyone. Although the effects were greatly reduced, it was convenient to manufacture and still offered sufficient health benefits.

"Alright, then thank you," Chief Engineer Sun said, "Also, Aunt Li said that tonight, she wants you, Yuan Chao, and his wife to come over for dinner. She wants to see you off."

"Alright, I’ll let them know when I get back," Huo Yingjie nodded, planning to dine at Chief Engineer Sun’s house tonight.

Tomorrow he would host a farewell dinner for his team members at his house.

"Yuan Chao, bring your wife; we’re going to Chief Engineer Sun’s house for dinner," Huo Yingjie said, planning to return to the dormitory first to tidy up. He would keep the items that could be used or eaten by others and not take them with him.

"Alright," Zhou Yuan Chao chuckled, still unaware of what was happening and thinking it was just a regular gathering.

When Huo Yingjie got home, he packed his clothes and luggage. He would tidy up other small items tomorrow and ask if his team members would like to take them. He also planned to bring snacks for everyone to eat at tomorrow’s farewell dinner.

It was five-thirty by the time Wang Ying got off work, and Zhou Yuan Chao, holding his child, came over and said, "Boss, let’s go."

"Alright," Huo Yingjie nodded, taking some money with him to buy some gifts as a gesture of goodwill.

Seeing Huo Yingjie buy so many gifts, Zhou Yuan Chao asked, "Boss, you used to just bring something small when visiting Chief Engineer Sun’s house for dinner. Why did you buy so much today?"

"Alas, I’m afraid there won’t be another chance," Huo Yingjie said. Although he could mail items in the future, between inspections and handling, who knew in what condition they would reach Chief Engineer Sun.

Wang Ying was nearby picking out items and didn’t hear their conversation.

"Boss, what exactly are you talking about?" Zhou Yuan Chao asked, "It sounds like we’re parting in life and death. Is it because Chief Engineer Sun is not well?"

Zhou Yuan Chao’s first thought was just that.

Everyone had seen how elderly Chief Engineer Sun had become.

Huo Yingjie shook his head, "Chief Engineer Sun is very well, just a bit tired! Don’t think too much; it’s about me."

"Ah?" Zhou Yuan Chao was taken aback, "It can’t be that they’re transferring you, can it?"

"Yes," Huo Yingjie nodded, "but it’s not just me, you too, you’re being transferred with me."

"I’m being transferred too?" Zhou Yuan Chao was stunned. In his heart, he was reluctant to leave Nan City, where his ancestry lay, his mother-in-law was there, and his mother and stepfather had also agreed to come to Nan City.

Everything had been arranged, and suddenly being transferred to Yanjing caught him off guard.

"Yes, Chief Engineer Sun will probably discuss this with you during dinner," Huo Yingjie said, "Perhaps you may not want to leave here, but Chief Engineer Sun will likely explain tonight."

Zhou Yuan Chao looked at his daughter in his arms, thinking that following the boss would never be wrong.

"Boss, if we’re being transferred together, can we still work together?" Zhou Yuan Chao asked, "If I’m not working with you, I’ll tell Chief Engineer Sun I’m not going."

"You’ll be working with me," Huo Yingjie said, "Don’t worry, stick with me, and I promise you’ll live the good life."

Zhou Yuan Chao nodded, "Okay."

Zhou Yuan Chao then felt a bit sad, "Ah, I’ll really miss Chief Engineer Sun and Aunt Li. Leaving my parents to come here, I regarded them as my elders."

"Don’t worry, Chief Engineer Sun is quite old, well past the age of retirement," Huo Yingjie said, "It’s time for him to retire and enjoy his later years. Moreover, Chief Engineer Sun’s house was taken back a while ago, and through various connections, my father has managed to get his children transferred back here. With his children around, Chief Engineer Sun and Aunt Li won’t be lonely."

"That’s true," Zhou Yuan Chao said, "With that, we can leave with peace of mind. If we want to see Chief Engineer Sun, we can visit his house."

"Yes, that’s right," Huo Yingjie nodded, "Tomorrow I’m planning to invite our team members to have dinner at my house, you and your wife should come too."

Though it was bittersweet for Zhou Yuan Chao, it was part of the job.

Their training taught them to be a brick, placed wherever necessary.
