If he passes this test, Huo Yingjie will have a brighter future.

Huo Yingjie took it, opened it in front of Chief Engineer Sun, and glanced at it. Just as he had guessed, it was this project.

"I will do my best," Huo Yingjie said. If all goes well, it will probably take two months to complete this task, but if things don't go smoothly, the timeframe is uncertain.

Fortunately, Huo Yingjie was prepared, and this project was somewhat related to previous projects, so some work no longer needed to be done.

"You must also take care of your health. Health is the foundation of everything, so you can better serve the country," Chief Engineer Sun said. "This is no exaggeration. If you're not in good health, it will affect your work. Besides, even though you're young and energetic, you can't be so careless. Remember, your health is your own, and it's also your family's."

"I understand, Chief Engineer Sun!" Huo Yingjie replied, taking the documents back to his office.

In the afternoon, Zhou Yuanchao and Qian Miaomiao also came over to help.

"You still have a holiday, why aren't you taking a proper rest?" Huo Yingjie was quite surprised to see them arrive.

“You’re working so hard, how can we, your subordinates, take a break?” Zhou Yuanchao said. “We also talked to Director Liu and Chief Engineer Sun about taking time off in lieu of leave. Since you have a vacation, we’ll take a vacation too.”

Huo Yingjie laughed and said, "Alright, let's work harder! Once we finish this job, you'll all have at least a two-week vacation so you can get some rest."

Half a month? Goodness! I can still make it home and stay a few more days!

After a busy lunch break, the group went to the cafeteria for lunch!

Huo Yingjie was worried that he would run into Zhou Yuanyuan again, but he didn't see her even after they had eaten.

For several days in a row, Huo Yingjie was surrounded by silence!

However, this was only the calm before the storm!

Silence and eeriness!

It was Zhou Yuanyuan's vacation time again, but she received the hospital's duty roster, which required her to be on duty and not to enter or leave the research institute.

Zhou Yuanyuan hasn't gone out for two weeks. She had made plans with Huo Yingqi, but now she can't go out, and she's furious.

"On duty, on duty, the hospital isn't that busy!" Zhou Yuanyuan said angrily. If Huo Yingjie wasn't here, she wouldn't have come even if he asked her!

The attending physician, who was making rounds with Zhou Yuanyuan, chuckled inwardly when he heard her muttering. This girl is still so arrogant here!

After making her rounds in the ward, Zhou Yuanyuan finally couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Director, I need to ask for leave!"

The attending physician, who was focused on the patient's medical records and not on Zhou Yuanyuan, said softly, "We're short-staffed right now. If you need anything, you can hold off for now and we'll talk again after this matter is resolved."

"Then why is everyone else on vacation but I'm not?" Zhou Yuanyuan complained. "I've done everything I was supposed to do. Why should I have to work even during my vacation time?"

"That's because you took a vacation before, while others didn't," the attending physician said. "Besides, you only studied in a medical training class for a period of time, without any systematic training. Shouldn't you be studying hard now and enriching yourself?"

Zhou Yuanyuan's skill level is at most that of a nurse. I don't know how she passed the medical qualification exam.

Hearing what the attending physician said, Zhou Yuanyuan blushed!

Others may not know what's going on, but she knows it herself!

She was a poor student with a weak foundation, and had no ability to pass the exam. Instead, she looked at Huo Yingqi's answers.

But the others don't know!

“Who said I haven’t had systematic training?” Zhou Yuanyuan said, dissatisfied. “I am a qualified doctor who passed the exam. It’s you who don’t give me the opportunity. I can only do some odd jobs and I don’t have a chance to show my abilities!”

The attending physician looked up, smiled, and said, "That's why the dean specifically instructed me to keep you here, so that you can get more experience and become a revolutionary soldier as soon as possible."

"You..." Zhou Yuanyuan suddenly realized that she had fallen into the trap dug by the old woman opposite her.

"Alright, I have a minor surgery coming up soon. You'll be with me," the attending physician said. "Here's the patient's medical record. If you're free, you can take a look. Remember, you're a doctor now, and the patient is someone who needs your care. I hope you'll take this seriously."

These words clearly indicated a desire for Zhou Yuanyuan to leave.

Zhou Yuanyuan was furious but couldn't vent her anger, so she took the medical records and left.

Afterwards, she reluctantly followed the doctor to the operating room and spent the whole day listlessly!

Her heart belonged entirely to Huo Yingjie.

That evening, she found herself outside Huo Yingjie's research room again.

However, there were already guards around, so she couldn't get in!

This has been going on for several days in a row!

If I can't go out, I won't get Huo Yingqi's guidance; if I stay in the research institute, I won't be able to see Huo Yingjie!

For Zhou Yuanyuan, such days were an unspeakable torment!

In a state of agitation, Zhou Yuanyuan did something absurd: she climbed over the wall and entered Huo Yingjie's dormitory through the window.

Huo Yingjie hadn't slept for a day and a night. After returning to his dormitory, he washed up and went straight to sleep!

In the middle of the night, he felt something touching his face. Thinking it was the blanket, he turned over and went back to sleep.

In the darkness, Zhou Yuanyuan sat by Huo Yingjie's bedside, her heart pounding with excitement. This was the first time she had ever seen Huo Yingjie so closely.

She wanted to reach out and continue to stroke Huo Yingjie, but Zhou Yuanyuan's hand stopped about ten centimeters away from Huo Yingjie's face.

The quiet and gentle Yingjie is as elegant and noble as a prince!

Actually, it's good to just watch Yingjie silently like this. At least he won't be as sharp-tongued and angry as he is when he's sober!

Zhou Yuanyuan sat there, breathing the same air as Huo Yingjie, and she already felt happy.

Perhaps because she had been under a lot of stress lately, being so close to Huo Yingjie made her relax, her eyes became glazed, her eyelids heavy, and she unconsciously fell asleep.

The next morning, Zhou Yuanchao returned from his study to rest, yawning as he looked around the room.

This sight was quite alarming; it scared me so much that all my sleepiness vanished!

Huo Yingjie was sleeping next to a woman!

This woman is none other than Zhou Yuanyuan, whom the boss avoids like the plague!

My God, everything's in chaos!

Zhou Yuanchao covered his mouth to prevent himself from screaming.

Zhou Yuanchao tiptoed to the bedside and shook Huo Yingjie, saying, "Boss, wake up!"

Huo Yingjie turned to the side, opened his hazy, melancholy, and slightly bloodshot eyes, and looked at Zhou Yuanchao with a puzzled expression.

Zhou Yuanchao didn't speak, but pointed behind him.

Huo Yingjie rolled over, startled, his eyes widening. He quickly got up and wrapped himself in a thin blanket. It was early summer, and Huo Yingjie was wearing a tank top and shorts, though what he wore underneath was rather revealing. (To be continued.)
