An angelic face, a devil's heart—that perfectly describes Huo Yingjie.
Being near the water tower may give you an advantage, but it can also lead to disaster, or even worse, you might end up with nothing at all!
"Yes, I understand now, so I don't like him anymore," Qian Miaomiao said. "Auntie, you don't need to worry about me anymore."
"That's good." Director Liu said with satisfaction, "Do a good job, and Auntie will keep an eye out for talented young people here."
Qian Miaomiao felt embarrassed and said with an awkward smile, "Auntie, I'm still young, there's no need to rush! It's okay, I'll go first, I still have a lot of work to finish! If I don't finish it, I'll get scolded again."
After receiving the office supplies, Qian Miaomiao didn't dare linger and quickly left.
Director Liu smiled with satisfaction as Qian Miaomiao left. A smart girl's life will always be smoother.
Qian Miaomiao returned to the lab with her things and heard Huo Yingjie's voice. Startled, she quickly found a corner to hide.
"Come out, no need to hide anymore. Quickly distribute the materials, and we'll proceed with the next group's experiment," Huo Yingjie instructed. This was a crucial project; although he knew the outcome, it required rigorous testing to pass Chief Engineer Sun's review.
"Yes, yes, boss!" Qian Miaomiao quickly distributed the items and joined in the work.
The experiment was completed three hours later.
"Alright, gather the data and give it to me. We've finished the task ahead of schedule, so we don't need to work this afternoon. You can rest," Huo Yingjie said gently, a stark contrast to the loud, ruthless man he was during the experiment.
If one didn't know Huo Yingjie well, one would definitely think he was a madman with a split personality.
Although working with Fok Ying-kit is tough, the rewards are plentiful!
Not only are there bonuses and physical rewards, but also holidays!
"Yes!" The group was overjoyed, planning to have a good meal that night and then get a good night's sleep.
Huo Yingjie returned to his office and began writing the report. Once his subordinates had compiled the experimental data, he would check it and then hand it over to Chief Engineer Sun.
He finished this task five days ahead of schedule, and then there will be another task, which he will also finish ahead of schedule. After completing these tasks, he estimates he can apply for a ten-day vacation.
Huo Yingjie admitted that he missed He Tiantian, he missed her terribly!
Because of confidentiality, He Tiantian couldn't come here, so Huo Yingjie had to find a way to get out.
To achieve this goal, the tasks he received from Chief Engineer Sun were all extremely challenging. Fortunately, his idea was correct, and he avoided some detours, so this approach was feasible.
After finishing his work at noon, Huo Yingjie handed the report to Chief Engineer Sun before going to the canteen for lunch.
Zhou Yuanchao had already prepared the food and was waiting for Huo Yingjie, but instead of Huo Yingjie, Zhou Yuanyuan arrived.
"Where is Huo Yingjie?" Zhou Yuanyuan asked, without any politeness.
Zhou Yuanchao was taken aback. Sigh, this is a little girl who has been spoiled by her family! Except for being gentle and demure in front of Huo Yingjie, she is cold and aloof in front of others.
We're all colleagues. Even if you come from a good family, you can't be arrogant and look down on others!
"I'm in the office!" Zhou Yuanchao said, and without waiting for Huo Yingjie, he grabbed his lunchbox and started eating.
Seeing two more lunchboxes on the table, Zhou Yuanyuan asked, "Are these Huo Yingjie's?"
"Yes." Even though Zhou Yuanchao was usually very talkative, he didn't want to say a word more in front of Zhou Yuanyuan.
How fortunate that no woman like him likes him!
Since the food was here, Zhou Yuanyuan decided to wait there, knowing that Huo Yingjie would come back for dinner eventually.
By the time Huo Yingjie arrived, Zhou Yuanchao had already eaten most of the food.
Despite the presence of braised pork, Zhou Yuanchao found it difficult to enjoy his food because a woman was sitting opposite him.
When Huo Yingjie saw Zhou Yuanyuan, his eyes darkened. Why was she looking for him again?
Huo Yingjie sat eating, seemingly oblivious to Zhou Yuanyuan.
“Brother Yingjie, I heard you’ve finished your mission and have a little vacation. Let’s go out for a walk,” Zhou Yuanyuan said. She had already inquired about it before coming.
Huo Yingjie didn't look up and continued eating, remaining silent.
"Brother Yingjie, I'm talking to you! Why aren't you answering me?" Zhou Yuanyuan said plaintively. Every time she saw Huo Yingjie, she was furious and thought she would never talk to him again.
But when I got back, I couldn't see Huo Yingjie and I missed him terribly!
She was poisoned by a drug called "Huo Yingjie"!
"Don't talk while eating or sleeping!" Huo Yingjie said briefly, then continued eating without looking up.
Zhou Yuanyuan was so embarrassed that her face turned red and her neck bulged. Huo Yingjie's words made her seem very vulgar and ill-mannered.
Zhou Yuanchao quickly finished his meal in a few bites, then picked up his lunchbox and left.
In this situation, his presence was superfluous. Zhou Yuanyuan's glares had already pierced several holes in him.
Huo Yingjie was indeed hungry; compared to talking to Zhou Yuanyuan, eating was a real pleasure.
Huo Yingjie finished the food in the lunchbox, closed it, and went to wash it.
"Have you finished eating? Can we talk now?" Zhou Yuanyuan asked, worried that if Huo Yingjie went back to his dormitory or office, she wouldn't have a chance to speak.
Huo Yingjie stared intently at Zhou Yuanyuan, his eyes devoid of any intimacy, not even the warmth between acquaintances, and said, "Speak, what is it?"
Zhou Yuanyuan bit her lip and said aggrievedly, "Brother Yingjie, it was Yingqi who invited me to go out and play together. We are new here and don't know where to go for fun, so we wanted you to show us around."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yingjie was taken aback and asked, "Where is Huo Yingqi?"
“She’s a doctor at the military base not far from our research institute,” Zhou Yuanyuan said. “She wrote to me saying she’s off tomorrow and can come out. I’m off too, and you don’t have to work, so let’s go out for a walk together.”
If it were just Huo Yingqi, Huo Yingjie, as her older brother, would take her out for a stroll.
But now there's Zhou Yuanyuan, who's eyeing him covetously, so Huo Yingjie has no reason to leave.
"You guys go ahead, I'm busy." After saying that, Huo Yingjie picked up his lunchbox and got up to leave.
Zhou Yuanyuan was taken aback; she hadn't expected that even bringing up Huo Yingqi wouldn't make him agree.
"Huo Yingjie, don't treat me like this!" Zhou Yuanyuan cried out. "You can't treat me like this!"
There were other people eating in the cafeteria, and when they heard Zhou Yuanyuan say that, they all looked at Huo Yingjie.
The way people were looking at each other was strange. Everyone knew that Huo Yingjie had a girlfriend from his time as an educated youth, thanks to Director Liu's previous announcement.
Now another woman has arrived, seemingly a doctor from the research institute's hospital, and she's crying and sobbing. It must be that Huo Yingjie is two-timing her.
Huo Yingjie turned around and said coldly, "You and I are just colleagues. Please have some self-respect. Don't say things that could be misunderstood. I rejected you from the beginning, and I will never accept you again." (To be continued.)
