Once the investment was finalized, He Tiantian told Huo Yingjie about the assassin incident.
"Yingjie, have you found the assassin?" He Tiantian asked. "There's still no news from Grandma, but what about the Ministry of State Security?"
As long as the mastermind isn't found, He Tiantian worries that she might be assassinated one day.
Huo Yingjie shook his head and said, "I've already traced it to Hong Kong using secret techniques, and the Ministry of State Security has also traced it to Hong Kong, but there are no further leads. It's probably difficult to investigate my grandmother's side as well, since her influence is in the Americas."
“Yes, it must be in Hong Kong,” He Tiantian said. “By the way, is Huashan still investigating there?”
Since that incident, Huashan has been conducting investigations in Hong Kong.
"Yes, they're still investigating over there. Cui Ying went with them," Huo Yingjie sighed. "Actually, I can still use my secret techniques..."
"No..." He Tiantian scolded, "Don't you remember how weak you were last time because you insisted on doing that? You coughed for almost a month. Anyway, I won't agree. If you don't listen, I'll... I'll..."
"What will you do?" Huo Yingjie chuckled, teasing He Tiantian.
“I’ll give you the cold shoulder!” He Tiantian said confidently. “With Huashan and Cui Ying’s abilities, they should be able to find it soon.”
"I hope so," Huo Yingjie said with a smile. Some time ago, he had already given them the second level of the technique, and he believed that it would be more convenient for them to act after practicing it.
"By the way, if we're careful about this matter, nothing will happen." He Tiantian was very confident in the current situation and believed that nothing would go wrong, which was why she didn't want He Tiantian to take any risks. "Let's not talk about this matter anymore. Let's talk about how Snake King gave me all the money he earned and also wants to invest in Tang Qian's entertainment company."
“That’s good. Li Xian likes these things and has something respectable to do,” Huo Yingjie said. “I think he’s really enjoying his life right now.”
"Yes, he's very happy," He Tiantian said with a smile. "Alright, the Snake King has gotten used to life in the human world, so we don't need to worry about him anymore. Any news from you? You've been very busy lately; we haven't had a proper chat in a long time."
"I almost forgot if you hadn't asked," Huo Yingjie said. "I have some good news for you. I've finished the latest upgraded formula for beauty cosmetics. Here are the documents; take them to your father-in-law when he comes."
"So fast?" He Tiantian was surprised. Her grandmother had mentioned before that Huo Yingjie should take some time to do it, but she didn't expect it to be done so quickly.
“It’s rare for my grandmother to ask me to do something, and it’s not for free, she pays me, so naturally I have to do it well,” Huo Yingjie said. “The income from these cosmetics alone is already quite considerable.”
“Yes,” He Tiantian nodded, “but publicly it’s money I received as a bonus. You work hard, I make money.”
"It's all yours, even me." Huo Yingjie winked and said playfully.
"Alright, the child is over there." He Tiantian pinched Huo Yingjie, saying that someone his age shouldn't speak without thinking.
With other people present, Huo Yingjie restrained himself for the time being.
It's very lively during the Chinese New Year.
Huo Zhekun and Jiang Lifang returned from Nanshi.
“Dad, last time I was with Grandpa, he said you would be transferred back at the end of next year.” Huo Yingjie was in the study talking to his father.
Huo Zhekun was very happy to see his son. After dinner, he took his son to the study to chat, and they would go to the old house to visit his parents together the next day.
"I've also received the news that our family can be reunited soon." Huo Zhekun smiled, feeling happy. It wasn't just about the family being reunited, but more importantly, his political achievements were among the best in the entire country of China.
Returning to Yanjing and finishing another chapter is a must.
“Hehe, then I congratulate you in advance, Father,” Huo Yingjie said. “However, Father, you should also be careful. After all, once you take office, someone will inevitably step down, so no one will remain indifferent.”
Huo Zhekun's smile faded, and he became serious, saying, "I understand that, which is why I've always been very careful. I haven't taken a single penny that I shouldn't have. As for embezzlement and breaking the law, that's even less of it. Neither our family nor Tian Tian's family have any messy relatives or friends dragging us down, so there shouldn't be any major problems."
"That's good," Huo Yingjie said. "The last year is crucial, and it's also the year most prone to problems."
"Hehe, yes," Huo Zhekun said. "The tax revenue of Jiangsu Province this year has actually reached the first place in the country, and it will be even more tomorrow, still number one."
The previous tax incentive period has ended, and local businesses have entered a period of rapid development. Foreign-invested enterprises and joint ventures are developing rapidly, while state-owned enterprises have enhanced their competitiveness through restructuring.
Private enterprises are springing up like mushrooms after rain, flourishing rapidly.
They have already begun to contribute huge amounts of tax revenue, with a portion retained locally for local finances and the remainder handed over to the national treasury. This year, they have even reached the top spot nationwide.
"Great achievements come from years of hard work," Huo Yingjie said. "Your previous efforts have now yielded results. In fact, it was the right decision for you to stay in Jiangsu Province; all these achievements are yours."
"Yes, that's what your grandfather and former leader told me in private too," Huo Zhekun said. Hard work paying off was an affirmation of his abilities.
Huo Yingjie nodded. From his father's face, he could tell that his father's career had encountered some setbacks and that next year would not be smooth sailing, but there would be no major dangers. So he offered his advice to his father to be careful.
The father and son began to discuss the domestic and international situation, especially the situation in the neighboring polar bear country.
“Yingjie, let’s go to your grandfather’s place tomorrow and talk about the current situation properly. Let’s call it a day,” Huo Zhekun said. “It’s already eleven o’clock. If you don’t go to sleep soon, your mother will probably get angry again.”
Huo Zhekun had an expression that suggested he didn't dare to mess with him.
“That’s because your mother cares about you.” Huo Yingjie smiled, stood up and left.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw my mother standing there, about to knock.
"Goodnight, Mom." Huo Yingjie smiled and slipped away from the side.
After his son left, Huo Zhekun said in a low voice, "Alright, I was just about to rest! This is home, with my son and grandsons all here. You should at least give me some face and not treat me like this."
"If you want to save face, you have to be obedient." After saying that, Jiang Lifang turned and left with a proud and arrogant air.
Sigh, you can't mess with old women these days.
Huo Zhekun followed behind with a bitter face. His wife used to focus all her attention on him, but now that it was divided among her family, he felt both disappointed and relieved.
