To avoid Zhou Yuanyuan, I'll do anything!

Huo Yingjie took a sip of water and said, "I'll leave the dormitory at five o'clock tomorrow morning!"

"Where are you going? The office opens at seven, and the lab opens at eight," Zhou Yuanchao asked curiously. His boss was really going to great lengths to avoid Zhou Yuanyuan!

"I'm going to Chief Engineer Sun's place," Huo Yingjie said. As long as he wasn't cornered by Zhou Yuanyuan alone, he wouldn't have to worry about her using force.

Yes!

You read that right!

Security personnel have now taken control of Zhou Yuanyuan's whereabouts, preventing her from entering or leaving freely. However, they cannot stop her from entering public areas of the research institute.

No matter how outrageous Zhou Yuanyuan's actions may be, before the matter is settled, people will at most gossip behind her back, but they won't do anything to her.

But the situation is different for Huo Yingjie. If Zhou Yuanyuan gets angry and tries to force herself on him, Huo Yingjie won't be able to avoid her and will get into a lot of trouble. So the only thing Huo Yingjie can do now is to avoid Zhou Yuanyuan.

The next morning, Huo Yingjie left his dormitory early and went directly to Chief Engineer Sun's place.

Aunt Li made breakfast, and Chief Engineer Sun was eating breakfast when he saw Huo Yingjie coming over. He quickly asked his wife to make some more.

"What brings you here?" Chief Engineer Sun asked. "Is there something you need?"

Huo Yingjie ate in silence, then said with distress, "Chief Engineer Sun, I just don't believe you don't know about my affairs!"

Upon hearing this, Chief Engineer Sun chuckled awkwardly and said, "We'll have a solution for Zhou Yuanyuan soon. Just wait a little longer. After all, she's a young woman, and we can't use harsh methods."

“If she weren’t a woman, I would have beaten her to a pulp by now,” Huo Yingjie said angrily. “My girlfriend is in a remote place right now, and I don’t know how sad she is! I want to complete this mission, apply for leave, and go visit Tianbao.”

The person he can't let go of right now is He Tiantian!

"Okay, I've done the math for you, you have almost twenty days of vacation," Chief Engineer Sun said. "You really need to relax!"

These are the rules set by Chief Engineer Sun at the research institute. Within the institute, as long as Chief Engineer Sun doesn't freely enter or leave, everyone else is at his disposal. Having studied abroad, Chief Engineer Sun understands the importance of balancing work and rest, so he's very generous with everyone's requested holidays.

However, this is on the premise that you have completed the task!

Huo Yingjie is such an oddball; he always finishes his tasks ahead of schedule!

After having breakfast, Huo Yingjie went with Chief Engineer Sun to the most confidential part of the research institute.

On the way, Huo Yingjie indeed encountered Zhou Yuanyuan.

"Brother Yingjie, this is some dried meat that I asked someone to buy for you. It'll help you recover." Zhou Yuanyuan rushed over to Huo Yingjie and presented the finest dried meat as if it were a treasure.

Actually, her family sent it to her, but she couldn't bear to eat it herself and gave it to Huo Yingjie instead.

Zhou Yuanyuan is willing to give up anything for the person she loves!

Alas, the falling flowers are willing, but the flowing water is indifferent!

Chief Engineer Sun sighed, glanced at Huo Yingjie, and said, "I'll wait for you up ahead!"

This was Huo Yingjie and Zhou Yuanyuan's private matter, which Chief Engineer Sun deliberately avoided.

Huo Yingjie pursed his lips and looked coldly at Zhou Yuanyuan. He suppressed his anger and could not speak, so he could only say calmly, "Zhou Yuanyuan, didn't you understand what I said last time? I don't like you. We are just colleagues. Please don't do anything that goes beyond friendship!"

"Brother Yingjie, our families are old friends, it's only natural for me to care about you. How can you be so heartless!" Zhou Yuanyuan said, hurt. She was so good to him, why didn't he like her?

Is He Tiantian really that good?

Is she so good that Huo Yingjie would be willing to give up such a beautiful woman from such a good family background?

"Your concern has crossed the line; I can't accept it," Huo Yingjie said coldly. He was a pathetic man after all.

He was destined not to like Zhou Yuanyuan, so he wouldn't sympathize with her either!

He sympathized with Zhou Yuanyuan, but who will sympathize with him?

Who will sympathize with his sweet baby?

A person's heart is only so big; it can only hold two people: themselves and their undying lover.

There's no room for a third person!

"Brother Yingjie, I love you!" Zhou Yuanyuan exclaimed, lunging forward. "I can give you everything..."

Huo Yingjie took a few steps back to avoid Zhou Yuanyuan's touch and said, "I'll say it again, I don't love you... Even if you give me your all, I won't want it... To be honest, you are very outstanding. Looking back, you can see many people who are worth cherishing."

"But...but I only like you," Zhou Yuanyuan cried out. "Is He Tiantian really that good? Good enough that you'd risk everything to offend me and the Zhou family?"

Huo Yingjie didn't want to say anything more, worried that he would provoke Zhou Yuanyuan and cause this crazy woman to do something even more outrageous!

"I'll say it one last time: I don't like you, I even despise you, and I hope you never appear before me again. If you overestimate yourself and create conflict between our two families, I have nothing more to say." After saying this, Huo Yingjie quickly walked up to Chief Engineer Sun.

Zhou Yuanyuan turned around and chased after him, arriving in front of Chief Engineer Sun.

However, Zhou Yuanyuan could not go any further, because two soldiers beside Chief Engineer Sun had already blocked her way to prevent her from rushing forward and injuring Chief Engineer Sun.

Chief Engineer Sun looked at Zhou Yuanyuan with pity and said, "Comrade Zhou, the true meaning of love lies in mutual affection!"

Within the weapons research institute, both professionally and personally, Chief Engineer Sun supported Huo Yingjie.

“No, I only know how to pursue my love and never give up!” Zhou Yuanyuan said slowly, looking firmly at Huo Yingjie across two soldiers, Chief Engineer Sun.

"Sigh! They're so stubborn!" Chief Engineer Sun sighed, hoping the security department would handle the matter quickly, otherwise something serious would happen sooner or later in the research institute.

Chief Engineer Sun didn't care what would happen to Zhou Yuanyuan; he was worried about Huo Yingjie.

These are pillars of the nation!

We can't afford the loss!

Chief Engineer Sun took Huo Yingjie to the research lab and had the young soldiers behind them stop Zhou Yuanyuan.

Upon arriving at Chief Engineer Sun's office, Huo Yingjie said with distress, "Chief Engineer Sun, as you can see, Zhou Yuanyuan is no longer suitable to stay here."

"Yes, if I had to choose between you and Zhou Yuanyuan, I would naturally choose you," Chief Engineer Sun said earnestly. There are other doctors besides Zhou Yuanyuan, but they can't replace someone as talented as Huo Yingjie!

Huo Yingjie's research solved a major problem and saved the institute and the country a huge amount of money.

To prevent Huo Yingjie from being distracted by trivial matters, this matter should be resolved as soon as possible.

"Thank you very much, Chief Engineer Sun." Huo Yingjie smiled; almost a year of hard work had paid off!

As someone of Chief Engineer Sun's rank, he had the right to know about Zhou Yuanyuan's family situation. Huo Yingjie was grateful that he dared to offend the Zhou family for his sake.

"No need to thank me, this is what the country should do for you," Chief Engineer Sun said in a deep voice. After thinking for a moment, he took out a thick, top-secret document from the safe, hoping that Huo Yingjie could pass this postgraduate entrance examination. (To be continued.)
