I checked the time; it was only 9:30.

"Do you need to go to the toilet?" He Tiantian asked. When taking the child out, you have to pay attention to these things at all times to help the child develop good habits.

"Yes, yes, we're going." The two children nodded.

He Tiantian took her daughter to the women's restroom, while Huo Yingjie took his son to the men's restroom.

After washing their hands, they met up in the grove of trees not far from the toilet.

"Mom, I want to go to the zoo, okay?" Huo Ruihua said. "I want to see the monkeys."

"Mom, I want to see tigers," Huo Ruimin said.

"Okay, Dad took the morning off, so he'll take you all out to play," He Tiantian said with a smile. It's a rare family outing, so she wanted to have a good time...

Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian took their child to the zoo until noon, then found a place to eat.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Zhang Ning took Huo Yingjie to his workplace, and then took He Tiantian and the two children home.

Huo Yingjie returned and had just changed into the white lab coat he was wearing for experiments when he heard someone knocking on the door.

"Professor Huo, something's come up at the lab. Could you go take a look?" The assistant rushed in, looking somewhat frightened.

Huo Yingjie frowned. There shouldn't be any problems; he had calculated all of those things carefully.

Theoretically, there's no problem; the issue might be with the operation or the materials.

Huo Yingjie followed and looked through the glass enclosure at the reaction inside. He then checked and inquired about each step of the process. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Don't worry, this should still be within the acceptable range."

"But..." the assistant said anxiously, "what if..."

I'm afraid the reaction will be too strong and blow up the lab; that would be a major disaster.

"I'll take responsibility for anything that happens," Huo Yingjie said, continuing to observe...

Two minutes later, things finally calmed down inside.

"Quickly calculate all the data," Huo Yingjie instructed. Although it was dangerous, it was finally completed.

Well, all I can say is that the experimental equipment was terrible.

If we have the chance, we should improve the experimental equipment!

No sooner had they finished speaking than a group of people rushed over. One of them, a middle-aged man, hurriedly asked, "How is it? Is there a problem?"

Huo Yingjie turned around and smiled, "Director Liu, there's nothing wrong with the experimental process and results. It's just that our equipment is too rudimentary, and it should be changed."

"Hehe!" Factory Director Liu chuckled wryly, "This is already the most advanced equipment."

Huo Yingjie was aware of the difficulties facing the country at the time, and nodded, saying, "I understand, but could we apply for some funding so we can build our own experimental equipment?"

"It's not that easy!" Factory Director Liu said with a wry smile. "We might be able to secure funding to some extent, but what about the technology? The relevant technology hasn't progressed..."

"I encountered some problems during the experiment. I'll have my assistant organize them and give them feedback to the equipment manufacturer. I hope they can make improvements," Huo Yingjie said. "Sigh, this project can be delivered now. I wonder what the next project will be. I hope my laboratory can withstand the test."

Upon hearing this, Director Liu was greatly alarmed. Could it really have come to this?

The people here are all high-tech talents, the nation's wealth. If they are involved in an accident, he will also suffer.

"Yes, it has reached a very serious point. I suggest that we not start the next project until it is completely repaired," Huo Yingjie advised. "Projects can be delayed, and there may be losses, but the lives of our researchers are more important. Director Liu, what do you say?"

“What Engineer Huo says is true.” Factory Director Liu nodded repeatedly. “Since we can’t replace the equipment, we’ll just have to repair it properly. I’d appreciate it if Engineer Huo could put in the effort to prepare a report. I will personally pull some strings to ensure that the entire laboratory is repaired.”

"Then I'll have to trouble Director Liu," Huo Yingjie said with a smile. As long as someone is willing to do the work, that's fine. What I'm afraid of is someone who wants credit but doesn't want to do anything.

Factory Director Liu was determined to climb the ranks, so he was more careful than the average person to avoid any accidents that would stop him here.

This is one of the reasons why Huo Yingjie, even though he didn't like Director Liu, still gave him some face. Whether it was for personal reasons or for public good, he truly put the laboratory and the researchers first.

For some time afterward, Huo Yingjie continued to do this.

Sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting; improved equipment safety leads to greater efficiency.

On the way back with He Tiantian, Zhang Ning felt like someone was following him, but when he looked in the rearview mirror, he realized it wasn't anyone else.

It looks very similar, but the car behind it turned right at a fork in the road.

Thus, Zhang Ning ruled out such speculation.

He might be overthinking it.

Zhang Ning took He Tiantian, her son, and her daughter home, and then returned to Huo Yingjie's workplace.

In fact, Zhang Ning's feeling was correct; someone had been following He Tiantian since yesterday.

It was the people sent by that man called Fourth Young Master to investigate.

The great man had investigated thoroughly and returned to report.

"Fourth Young Master, I have found out the identity of that woman from yesterday." The man with the large sweater bowed his head, his tone extremely respectful.

The one known as the Fourth Young Master is Tang Qian, the direct grandson of the Tang family. He has two older brothers and one older sister, all of whom are well-known figures in Yanjing. With the support of Old Master Tang, the Fourth Young Master Tang can still act with impunity in Yanjing even though he does nothing productive all day.

A complete playboy.

Tang Qian married Li Gongru, a beautiful and talented woman from the Li family. However, he didn't sleep with his own delicate wife and preferred to sleep with other women.

The female student from the film academy was just one of them.

"Oh?" Tang Qian's mind conjured up an image of a graceful, tall, yet somewhat comical woman. "Tell me, who is it!"

The burly man respectfully said, "The woman yesterday was named He Tiantian. She is the wife of Huo Yingjie, the son of Huo Zhekun, the second son of the Huo family. She is 27 years old this year and has twins, a boy and a girl. She is a teacher in the Department of Drama, Film and Television Literature at the China Film Academy. Yesterday was her first day reporting to the school."

"The Huo family?" Tang Qian raised an eyebrow. "Huo Yingjie? He Tiantian?"

The big man didn't know what the Fourth Young Master meant, so he didn't dare to respond.

Among the noble families in Yanjing, the descendants of the Huo family were very low-key, much more so than Tang Qian.

"Alright, you can go now." Tang Qian took a sip of wine and dismissed the burly man.

The burly man was suspicious, but seeing that the Fourth Young Master didn't show any interest, he felt slightly relieved. As the Fourth Young Master's bodyguard, his job was not only to protect his safety, but also to clean up his messes.

The Huo family is no ordinary family; if they get into trouble, it will be difficult to clean up!
