Director Liu was stunned after hearing Huo Yingjie's words.

Oh my, Huo Yingjie not only does excellent scientific research, but also has a firm stance and very noble ideals!

"Dating without the intention of marriage is just playing around," that's so true. It doesn't waste your time or the other person's.

"Excellent, your firm stance is commendable; you truly are a fine young person in our unit," Director Liu said with a smile. "I was just worried that your stance might waver, leading to issues with your conduct and affecting your work. That would not only be a loss for you, but also for our entire research institute!"

Huo Yingjie's performance was outstanding in the entire weapons research institute.

"Don't worry, Director, I won't meet with Zhou Yuanyuan in private anymore," Huo Yingjie said. "I will keep my distance from her and will never cross the line."

Director Liu nodded and said, "I'm relieved to hear you say that. Hey, that girl, she doesn't seem like a naive girl like Miaomiao at all. You should be careful in the future. If possible, you should contact Zhou Yuanyuan's family and ask them to remove Zhou Yuanyuan from our unit as soon as possible."

"Oh!" Huo Yingjie replied. "I'll talk to my family about this."

Director Liu was relieved. Zhou Yuanyuan and Huo Yingjie came from extraordinary families, and she didn't want to become a victim of their power struggle.

"It's good that you know what's going on. You can go back now," Director Liu said. "Work is important, but your health is more important. Don't push yourself so hard."

Huo Yingjie's diligence is among the best in the research institute; otherwise, he wouldn't have fainted from exhaustion last time.

It should be understood that Huo Yingjie is a highly skilled individual; his body and mind are not only his personal assets but also the wealth of the nation.

Things are not peaceful outside, but things are fine inside their research institute.

Being backward invites aggression, and China has already fallen behind other countries. The United States and the Soviet Union have both ventured into space, while China has lagged behind.

Learning from this historical lesson, there was no disruption in the supply of materials or the arrangement of personnel in their research institute.

As for the criticism and re-education outside, it was also for political reasons.

Forget it, she's just the director of a research institute, why think so much! As long as she finishes her work, that's contributing to the country.

"Goodbye, Director." Huo Yingjie stood up, nodded slightly, and took his leave.

No wonder he comes from a prominent family, his demeanor is truly admirable!

Huo Yingjie did not return to his dormitory, but went directly to Chief Engineer Sun's office.

"Oh, aren't you off today? What are you doing in my office?" Chief Engineer Sun adjusted his glasses and looked at Huo Yingjie.

"I had nothing to do, so I came to check out the next task," Huo Yingjie said. "Give me the work first, and I'll do some preliminary work."

Chief Engineer Sun put down his pen and said, "You've just finished a task, you should rest for a few days. I don't want you to end up in the hospital again from overwork."

Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "It's okay, I didn't stay up all night, I'm not tired."

"Hehe, are you trying to accumulate vacation time?" Chief Engineer Sun particularly liked Huo Yingjie as a subordinate, and he could always see his younger self in Huo Yingjie.

Huo Yingjie smiled calmly and said, "Yes! I want a vacation of half a month or twenty days. I want to visit my girlfriend!"

Chief Engineer Sun smiled and said, "Alright, we researchers can't spend all our time in the lab. Since you can manage your time, I'll assign the work to you. After you finish, I'll give you a two-week vacation."

"Thank you, Chief Engineer Sun," Huo Yingjie said. "Chief Engineer Sun, please arrange the work."

Chief Engineer Sun smiled and picked up a leather bag from the side, which was stamped with a top-secret seal.

"Take it back. If you don't understand anything, you can come and ask me," Chief Engineer Sun said. However, he was just saying that. Ever since Huo Yingjie came to the research institute, he would say this every time he received a task, but the kid never came to ask him for help and always managed to complete the task.

"Thank you very much, Chief Engineer Sun," Huo Yingjie said gratefully. He had received so much help from this old gentleman and was always grateful.

Huo Yingjie took the top-secret document to his office, opened it, and began assigning tasks and priorities.

This is a public relations project concerning new missile materials!

It's his specialty; the deadline is three months, so Huo Yingjie doesn't need that much time.

After resting for more than a day, everyone saw that Huo Yingjie had started working, so they also began to give up their holiday.

However, Huo Yingjie told them that after completing this job, they would have a vacation of one to ten days, which immediately delighted the other three. Each of them received their assigned tasks and began working in an orderly manner according to the plan designed by Huo Yingjie.

On Sunday, Zhou Yuanyuan and Huo Yingqi arranged to go to the county town together.

Huo Yingqi rode in a car belonging to her unit and picked up Zhou Yuanyuan at the weapons research institute.

The young soldier then learned that there was a weapons research institute not far from their base, and that their base had sent many people to guard it.

When Zhou Yuanyuan saw Huo Yingqi, she couldn't say anything and just silently shed tears.

"Yuanyuan, what's wrong? Did you see your second brother?" Huo Yingqi asked, quickly taking out a handkerchief to wipe Zhou Yuanyuan's tears.

Zhou Yuanyuan choked up and said, "I saw him, but... but he completely ignored me. When I went to find him, he embarrassed me on the spot, and now everyone is laughing at me."

At work, she could only cry in secret.

Now that I've met my good friend, I finally couldn't resist.

Even though Zhou Yuanyuan is a stubborn girl, she is only a nineteen-year-old girl now.

So humble in front of the one you love, you can't help yourself!

“Hey, you know my second brother, he’s incredibly stubborn and won’t listen to reason. If you just go up to him and say it, of course he won’t agree,” Huo Yingqi said. “Like during the New Year, we were too hasty, and he got really angry, and his impression of you wasn’t good either.”

“Yes!” Zhou Yuanyuan said, “It’s all because I’m too stupid and don’t know what to do! Yingqi, I really like your second brother, I really like him! Although I’ve embarrassed myself at my new workplace, I still like working here because it allows me to be closer to Yingjie.”

"I know, that's why I came to keep you company," Huo Yingqi said. "By the way, my second brother didn't come out?"

"No, he doesn't want to see me and has been avoiding me," Zhou Yuanyuan said with a wry smile. She guessed that she wouldn't be able to see Huo Yingjie for the foreseeable future.

“Sigh, they’re such a bickering couple. They’ll need some time to adjust,” Huo Yingqi said. “But don’t worry, just take your time to care for him. He’s not made of stone, he’ll warm him up eventually.”

Hearing Huo Yingqi's words, Zhou Yuanyuan's wavering confidence strengthened somewhat. (To be continued.)
