Comparison is the root of all pain!
Compared to the Huo family's sons and grandsons, she suddenly wished she could go back and have another baby.
Before long, it was finally Mr. Huo's turn.
Huo Yingjie and Huo Yingjun followed behind Old Master Huo.
Once inside, the Chairman, the Premier, and Commander-in-Chief Zhu were all there.
Upon seeing Old Master Huo enter, the three men looked past him and saw the two young men behind him.
"Don't stand there, Xiao Huo, come and sit down," the Prime Minister said, noting that there were several chairs nearby, indicating a familiar relationship.
Old Master Huo smiled and said, "Thank you, Premier! Chairman! Commander-in-Chief!"
The chairman nodded and praised, "Your two grandsons are quite remarkable!"
"He's not just exceptionally handsome! He's also remarkably capable!" the Prime Minister said. "This year, Yingjun has made a great contribution. If it weren't for him finding the breakthrough, our diplomatic relations with the United States wouldn't have progressed so smoothly."
"Oh?" The chairman became interested. "Is it Qi Shu you mentioned?"
"Yes, they found Qi Shu's mother, who is still alive," the Premier said. "Upon hearing that his mother was still alive, Qi Shu immediately agreed to meet us, and we have now made significant progress. Speaking of this matter, Qi Shu has asked to see his mother. Mr. Chairman, it is not advisable for Qi Shu to leave the United States at the moment, so I suspect we will have to disappoint him."
"Hehe!" The chairman smiled kindly, "Qi Shu can't come back, but if his mother is in good health, she can go over there!"
"Aren't you afraid..." The Premier didn't finish his sentence, but everyone knew what he meant.
The chairman said confidently, "Don't worry, they will come back."
Huo Yingjun originally thought he would have to spend a lot of time explaining, but to his surprise, the problem was solved before he even had to say anything.
This is good, as it will be more beneficial for the work that follows.
“Alright, I’ll arrange it as soon as possible,” the Prime Minister said.
The chairman looked at Huo Yingjun, nodded, and said, "Not bad, a good young man!"
This is a very high rating!
The older generation of leaders is gradually aging, and eventually it will be time for younger people to take over.
A nation's hope lies in its capable young people!
Mr. Liang is right: when the youth are strong, China will be strong.
"Thank you for the praise, Chairman. I will work even harder," Huo Yingjun said excitedly. All the hard work he had done before vanished upon hearing the compliment.
The chairman spoke to me and even praised me!
This is the greatest affirmation for him!
In this era, the worship of great figures is deeply rooted.
However, the reason why great people become great is that they must have extraordinary talents.
Then the chairman, who firmly believed that political power grows out of the barrel of a gun, looked at Huo Yingjie with burning eyes and said, "You are not bad either. You have contributed to the nation's important instruments!"
"It is an honor for this junior!" Huo Yingjie said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "and even more so, a source of pride for this junior!"
"Yes, we are relatively backward and still need to work hard," the Chairman said. "We couldn't do anything about it during wartime, but in peacetime, we must strive to catch up!"
Hearing this, Huo Yingjie felt a pang of sadness.
In the final years, the top leaders were willing but unable to act, and some people took advantage of the situation to distort some policies, which led to the chaos at the lower levels. Those evil forces went to any lengths to sabotage the situation.
"Yes, we will try our best, no matter what," Huo Yingjie replied. He had his own selfish motives, but he hoped even more for a strong motherland.
"Alright!" the chairman said softly. In fact, he knew in his heart that with internal and external troubles, he couldn't make any moves for the time being.
Afterwards, the Chairman, the Premier, and the Commander-in-Chief spoke with Mr. Huo in casual conversation, which conveyed their warmth and affirmation.
Half an hour later, the three of them came out of the house.
When they came out, the three of them were once again the focus of everyone's attention.
Some people envy it, some people are jealous.
But everyone understands that this cannot change the Huo family's rising momentum.
Ultimately, it's because the Huo family is capable and their actions benefit the country and its people. Both publicly and privately, they deserve everyone's praise.
After coming out, Grandpa Huo did not linger. He exchanged a few pleasantries with several families he knew well, and then left with his two grandsons.
Sitting in the car, Huo Yingjun let out a long sigh and said with emotion, "I was so nervous just now. I was so close to these great people."
"Heh, what a good-for-nothing." Although Old Master Huo was cursing, his pride was evident in his tone, and he was extremely pleased with himself.
“Grandpa, I am indeed no match for a great man,” Huo Yingjun said shamelessly. “I must do this well this year, without the slightest mistake.”
While Old Master Huo and Huo Yingjun were talking, Huo Yingjie remained silent, smiling faintly to the side.
"Yingjie, why don't you tell us how you feel too!" Huo Yingjun turned his head from the seat in front to look at Huo Yingjie. This younger brother was as calm as his grandfather, like a little old man.
Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "I have a clear conscience and can face everyone with equanimity."
"You silly child," Old Master Huo said with a smile, "too mature for your age. But it's alright, researchers won't leave a good impression if they're too flamboyant. I'm very satisfied with your performance today. Let's have a few drinks when we get home."
"Grandpa, I'll keep you company," Huo Yingjun said quickly, as he was craving some wine.
When working outside, you can't be careless for a moment. When you sleep, you wish you could sleep with your eyes open. How could you dare to drink alcohol?
Even when work requires drinking, he can only have a little and never dares to drink to his heart's content.
At home, there are no such concerns, and you can drink to your heart's content.
Huo Yingjie remained as calm and composed as ever!
Honestly, he deserves a beating!
Even when drinking at night, Huo Yingjie is very restrained!
Unlike Huo Yingjun, who was carefree, he was reserved like a middle-aged man.
Time flies, it's already the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
Huo Yingjie packed his luggage, preparing to visit He Tiantian.
When Madam Huo and Jiang Lifang heard that Huo Yingjie was going to visit He Tiantian, they hurriedly packed a lot of good food and drinks for Huo Yingjie to take with him.
When Huo's eldest sister-in-law saw her mother-in-law and sister-in-law treating an outsider so well, she felt even more jealous.
They're not even from the Huo family, yet they're treating her so well. Why aren't they treating her daughter the same way?
Her daughter is still suffering outside, and no one mentions it, nor does anyone treat her future daughter-in-law, Zhao Huanhuan, well. Although she doesn't particularly like Zhao Huanhuan either, she's unhappy to be outshone by someone else.
While Jiang Lifang was packing her things, she hid inside the house, wanting to avoid seeing him.
This year is fine, but next year she must bring Yingqi home. She can't let a little girl like Yingqi spend the New Year outside; it's too pitiful.
Although Sister-in-law Huo hadn't forgotten what her daughter had done to Huo Yingjie, she had been deceived and misled by Zhou Yuanyuan. Her daughter had suffered so much outside; she must know she was wrong. (To be continued.)
