Seeing my good brother makes me so happy!

"Hehe, weren't we going to Chief Engineer Sun's place? Go and call your wife, let's go now," Huo Yingjie said. He had already prepared the gifts, which were perfect for Chief Engineer Sun and Aunt Li, as a token of his appreciation.

“Great!” Zhou Yuanchao said happily, “Let’s go now.”

Zhou Yuanchao arrived at the opposite door and knocked. Wang Ying had already taken her things and came out from inside.

Huo Yingjie carried a large bag of pastries, including both Western and Chinese pastries, among which was Furong cake from Xinghualou.

On the way, Zhou Yuanchao kept introducing the research institute to Huo Yingjie.

Huo Yingjie listened while asking some small questions to understand the situation here.

I had heard my husband say before that he and Huo Yingjie had a good relationship, but I didn't expect it to be this good!

Since Huo Yingjie arrived, her husband Zhou Yuanchao has barely glanced at her.

Fortunately, Huo Yingjie is already married, otherwise she would have misunderstood.

When we arrived at Chief Engineer Sun's house, Aunt Li was cooking, and Chief Engineer Sun opened the door himself.

"Chief Engineer Sun, hello." Huo Yingjie stepped forward and bowed respectfully. This was a highly respected senior colleague, worthy of our respect.

Chief Engineer Sun smiled and said very kindly, "Come in quickly, you're here now, what did you bring?"

Wang Ying stepped forward and, quite naturally, poured tea for him, saying with a smile, "Chief Engineer Sun, this is dried radish that I made myself. I cut a little bit in the morning and served it with rice porridge; it's especially good with rice."

"Okay, your Aunt Li and I really like the dried radish you make." Chief Engineer Sun smiled. It didn't matter what it was, it was the thought that counted.

Huo Yingjie and Zhou Yuanchao sat down.

Huo Yingjie took out some pastries from his bag, placed them on a plate, and said, "These are pastries from my wife's shop. They taste quite good, so she asked me to bring some with me."

"Okay, I'll try it." Chief Engineer Sun picked up a butterfly pastry, took a bite, and said, "Hmm, it tastes good, very good. Your Aunt Li will definitely like it too."

"If you like it, I'll have her send you more in the future," Huo Yingjie said with a smile. He hadn't been back for more than three years, and he felt a little guilty in the face of Chief Engineer Sun's kind attitude.

"Hehe, I won't refuse that." Chief Engineer Sun chuckled. "Let me be honest with you, the transfer order you received this time has nothing to do with me."

"Not you, sir?" Huo Yingjie asked in surprise. "Then who is it?"

In the weapons research institute, besides Chief Engineer Sun, there shouldn't be anyone else Zhou Yuanchao is so eager to have return, right?

Chief Engineer Sun shook his head and said, "I'm not sure either. When I received the letter, it was around the same time you received your transfer order. I hope you'll come back, but I want to wait until you graduate from university, not now."

"If it's not you, then who could it be?" Huo Yingjie was troubled. He could have calculated it with his fingers, but since it concerned himself, he was bound by the laws of nature, so he couldn't see his own fortune and couldn't make a reasonable prediction.

“I’m asking around for you!” Chief Engineer Sun said. “But don’t worry, this person probably doesn’t mean any harm. If they wanted to get rid of you, they could have easily taken you to a remote research institute instead of your old workplace.”

Huo Yingjie thought about it and agreed. The Huo family was now in a period of rapid and stable development, especially his father, who was a dark horse. With his father and grandfather around, he was a third-generation ancestor who could rely on powerful backers for support!

However, some people just can't stand his leisurely life and probably want him to get some training so he can inherit the Huo family business.

That's a story for another time!

"Then I'll have to trouble Chief Engineer Sun." Huo Yingjie smiled. "Having spent two years at university, I wonder if I'll be able to get my diploma?"

"Don't worry, I'll communicate with your school. As you participate in the graduation project, you'll definitely be able to get your graduation certificate," Chief Engineer Sun said. Although the certificate isn't a guarantee of graduation, it would be a shame to not get one since you've already enrolled.

Zhou Yuanchao was taken aback and asked, "Our research projects are all classified. Wouldn't it be against the confidentiality rules to use this as a graduation thesis?"

"Hehe!" Chief Engineer Sun chuckled. "Of course I wouldn't leak the secret. Hey, when it comes to thinking about problems, can't we try a different approach? Since the paper can't be shared, I can be Yingjie's thesis advisor!"

"Ah!" Zhou Yuanchao was stunned. "You can do that?!"

“Of course that’s possible!” Chief Engineer Sun said. “I used to be a teacher at Nanshi University for two years. As long as I send a letter to restore my teacher status, I can tutor Huo Yingjie.”

"Hehe, I see!" Zhou Yuanchao laughed. "Then, if I study on my own, can I get a university certificate here?"

"Logically, it shouldn't be possible, but in the future, there might be options for people who are already working but want to improve themselves. Then you can take the exam," Chief Engineer Sun said. He had previously asked Zhou Yuanchao to take the college entrance exam, but the boy refused. Now he wants to take it, but he is already married and has a stable job, so he doesn't have time to go to school.

"Then I'll leave it to Chief Engineer Sun," Zhou Yuanchao said. "Seeing that the boss is a college graduate, I'm a little itchy to join in."

"I told you to take the exam before, but you didn't. Now you regret it, don't you?" Chief Engineer Sun chuckled. "If you're willing, it's still possible. I'll hold your position for you."

"No, I don't have the patience to go to school every day," Zhou Yuanchao pleaded. If that didn't work, then so be it; he didn't want to go to university.

"Hehe, you're just slacking off." Chief Engineer Sun chuckled, then looked at Huo Yingjie, "Yingjie, what have you gained from university?"

Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "As for what I've gained, I haven't learned much in terms of knowledge alone. I already know all of that."

"Boss, then you wasted two years of your time at university?" Zhou Yuanchao asked in surprise. If you can't learn anything, why bother going to university? It's a waste of time!

He guessed correctly; the boss was indeed indulging in the company of a beautiful woman and had forgotten all about home.

"Haha, not learning anything new doesn't mean there's no gain," Huo Yingjie chuckled. "In the past two years, I feel that my way of thinking has changed a lot, I have new ideas about some research, and I can also read some foreign science and technology magazines. There are many reports in them, although they are very vague, but I have also gained a lot from them, and I believe they will definitely play a great role in my future work."

"Hmm! We'll see how you perform from now on." Chief Engineer Sun had high hopes for Huo Yingjie. Although Zhou Yuanchao had also grown a lot, his talent and way of thinking had certain limitations.

However, Huo Yingjie is top-notch in terms of talent, leadership, and thinking ability.

Such people are born to be scientific researchers.

Doing any other job would be a waste, a waste, a waste.

Important things should be said three times.
