Chapter 293 The Return of a Collateral Branch of the Huo Family!

Su Yue met with Huo Wenxuan again and got straight to the point: "I agree to your conditions. As long as you can solve the raw material problem, I will personally arrange for you to meet with Old Master Huo."

"Thank you," Huo Wenxuan replied succinctly.

His abilities exceeded everyone's expectations.

Just three days.

A truck with a special pass was parked in front of the laboratory's Beijing office.

When the carriage door opened, boxes of perfectly sealed, top-quality raw materials, exuding a unique medicinal fragrance, were unloaded, leaving even Gu Nanxing stunned.

Huo Wenxuan not only solved the immediate problem, but also presented Gu Nanxing with a detailed "Southeast Asian Pharmaceutical Raw Material Market Analysis Report," which made Gu Nanxing feel inferior.

The report analyzed everything from origin and quality to transportation routes and price fluctuations in great detail, demonstrating a level of professionalism far exceeding that of middlemen like Huang Defa.

Talented individuals.

This is a true talent.

Su Yue kept her promise.

A week later, in the most luxurious private room of the Beijing Hotel, she personally arranged for Huo Wenxuan to meet with Mr. Huo, who had come to Beijing to inspect the project.

After decades, the first meeting between the two families was so heavy it was almost suffocating.

Old Master Huo sat upright in the main seat, exuding an imposing presence without being angry.

Huo Wenxuan stood straight in front of him, neither humble nor arrogant.

Just then, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open.

Several uncles and elders of the Huo family rushed over upon hearing the news, and the leader pointed at Huo Wenxuan's nose and began to curse.

"Huo Wenxuan! You unfilial descendant! Have you forgotten the poisonous oath your grandfather swore? How dare you come back! Our Huo family has no traitor like you who betrays his ancestors!"

"Exactly! Trying to curry favor with the master by relying on an outsider is simply wishful thinking!"

Sharp and sarcastic accusations echoed throughout the private room.

Su Yue sat to the side, observing coldly. This was a family matter for the Huo family, and also Huo Wenxuan's final test.

Despite being condemned by many, Huo Wenxuan remained unusually calm.

He didn't refute or defend himself. He just waited until everyone had finished cursing before slowly raising his head, looking around at everyone, and saying only one sentence.

"Staying stagnant and complacent will only lead to destruction."

"What the Huo family needs are pioneers, not gravediggers."

In short, it was a powerful statement.

The entire private room fell silent instantly.

Those uncles and elders who had been so aggressive just moments before were now ashen-faced, standing there speechless.

The usually silent Old Master Huo suddenly flashed a sharp light in his cloudy eyes.

Looking at his grandson, whose spine stood straight like an unyielding pine tree, he seemed to see a reflection of his younger self.

"What a pioneer!"

Old Master Huo spoke slowly, his voice not loud, but carrying the authoritative authority of a final decision.

He stood up, walked to Huo Wenxuan, and personally put the jade pendant that represented his identity back on his waist.

“From today onwards, your branch will be reinstated in the Huo family genealogy.”

He then turned to the crowd and made the announcement in front of everyone.

"I hereby appoint Huo Wenxuan as the 'General Agent for Pharmaceutical Raw Materials' for the Huo Group in the mainland, with full authority over all business liaison with Comrade Su Yue's laboratory!"

The decision was final.

Huo Wenxuan bowed deeply to the old man. When he straightened up, he turned to Su Yue, his gratitude evident in his expression.

From this day forward, he will not only be a member of the Huo family, but also Su Yue's strongest ally in the business world.

The troubles in the capital have now been completely resolved.

A huge weight was lifted off Su Yue's shoulders, and she even began to plan her return to Hainan Island.

However, at this very moment...

Chen Xinyue, who had been standing quietly behind her, suddenly had her pager go off like crazy.

Chen Xinyue glanced at the number on the screen and quickly went to a corner to return the call.

A few seconds later, she ran back with the phone in her hand, her face pale, unable to speak clearly.

"Sister Yue...something terrible has happened!"

"An urgent call from Academician Qian's secretary!"

Su Yue's heart sank.

Chen Xinyue handed over the phone, her voice trembling. The anxious voice of Academician Qian's secretary was almost distorted on the other end.

"Comrade Chen Xinyue? Come to the 'Loongson' base in the western suburbs right now!"

"Academician Qian and several experts are trapped inside. This is a major incident!"

"Loongson" base?

Is Academician Qian trapped inside?

Su Yue's heart skipped a beat.

The "Loongson" project is a core computer chip project that the country is secretly working on, with a secrecy level several levels higher than the previous "781 Project".

This is a true national treasure!

On the other end of the microphone, the voice of Academician Qian's secretary had completely changed, carrying an overwhelming sense of panic and despair.

"Comrade Su Yue, bring Comrade Xin Yue here quickly! The core database and all the data of the 'Loongson' project have all disappeared overnight!"

"All the data... is gone!"

These words struck Su Yue like a bolt from the blue.

Chen Xinyue's hand holding the phone went limp, and she almost collapsed to the ground, but fortunately Su Yue caught her.

"We've tried every possible means of restoration, but it's all useless! Not a single trace has been left!" The secretary's voice trembled with tears. "Academician Qian remembered Comrade Xinyue's photographic memory. She said... she said Comrade Xinyue is our last hope!"

Chen Xinyue had recently "browsed" part of the database out of curiosity while helping Academician Qian organize his materials.

Although it was just a brief visit, it has now become the only lifeline.

This concerns the security of the nation's core technologies, and it is no longer an ordinary commercial struggle, but a huge crisis that could shake the very foundation of the country.

Chen Xinyue's face turned deathly pale, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Asking her to restore the nation's top-secret database? She's just an ordinary person; how could she possibly shoulder such a huge responsibility?

Su Yue grasped her cold hand and looked at her calmly. "Xin Yue, look at me."

When Chen Xinyue's gaze met Su Yue's calm eyes, her panicked heartbeat miraculously calmed down a bit.

“You are not alone. I am here.” Su Yue spoke each word clearly and forcefully. “You just need to write down what you see. Leave the rest to me.”

These words gave Chen Xinyue boundless strength.

She nodded vigorously, her initial fear replaced by a sense of responsibility for being entrusted with a critical mission.

Half an hour later, a jeep with special military license plates drove straight to the ground floor of the Beijing Hotel.

Accompanied by Chen Xinyue, Su Yue, escorted by two fully armed guards, sped all the way to the "Loongson" base located in the western suburbs, which did not exist on the map at all.

Inside the base, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

The researchers and military officers coming and going all had faces etched with anxiety and exhaustion.

In a huge conference room, Su Yue met the person in charge of the base, a military general with a star on his shoulder and a cold, iron-like face.

His name is Li Yuanchao.

Li Yuanchao's gaze swept over Chen Xinyue, filled with undisguised scrutiny and suspicion.

"You're Chen Xinyue?"

His voice was like two pieces of iron rubbing together, cold and harsh.

"Academician Qian asked, 'Can you recite the data from memory?'"
