Political vetting is a crucial step; his identity and the nature of his work necessitate this process.
"Hehe, that's true." Director Qian smiled. "Young people do want to get married early, I understand. I'll make a note of that, and I'll find some time to help you with it soon."
"Thank you very much, Director Qian," Huo Yingjie said. "I got engaged back in 1972, so it's been three years. My fiancée is beautiful and exceptionally outstanding. I'm afraid that if I don't go back soon and we don't get married, I'll lose her sooner or later!"
Huo Yingjie deliberately feigned grievance in front of Director Qian, hoping to gain Director Qian's attention and sympathy.
"Hehe, you're a very outstanding young man. Don't worry, your girlfriend will be waiting for you," Director Qian comforted him. In fact, he understood Huo Yingjie's thoughts. After three years away from home and unable to communicate, how much affection could there be left?
However, he couldn't say this to Huo Yingjie, at least not before the work was finished!
Young people are often impetuous and act on impulse. When they experience emotional setbacks, it will inevitably affect their future work.
"I hope so." Huo Yingjie smiled wryly. He Tiantian had promised him she would wait for him.
However, life is unpredictable, and he was still worried!
After returning from Director Qian's place, Huo Yingjie took his team members out for a big meal. In addition to the standard meal, Huo Yingjie paid for his own meal tickets and money to buy a large plate of braised pork, sauerkraut fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, and so on.
The group ate until their bellies were round before going back to rest.
Huo Yingjie was exhausted and slept soundly until the afternoon of the next day.
Huo Yingjie was unaware that the report he submitted had put Director Qian in a very difficult position.
Director Qian originally had other things to do, but thinking that Huo Yingjie was a useful person and it was rare to ask him for a favor, he had to do it well. However, when he saw the information in He Tiantian's file, he was a little troubled.
They have overseas connections, so an investigation is necessary. However, they are closed off from the outside world and keep things confidential, so they cannot make a big fuss about it. Therefore, this matter has been shelved.
The relationship was far too important, and he didn't want Huo Yingjie to be affected by it.
However, Director Qian did not send the information up, but someone with ulterior motives had their eye on Huo Yingjie, or more precisely, they coveted the credit Huo Yingjie had earned.
They were at a loss, but they heard that Huo Yingjie had written a marriage application report, but Director Qian did not conduct a political review.
According to conventional wisdom, Huo Yingjie is Director Qian's favorite, and now that Huo Yingjie has submitted a marriage application, Director Qian should do him a favor and approve it as soon as possible!
But Director Qian just didn't make a move?
That doesn't make sense!
So someone secretly found the application report that Huo Yingjie had left with Director Qian.
These people had secret channels and quickly obtained He Tiantian's political files.
Because everyone who comes in investigates the people around them, it wasn't difficult for them to find He Tiantian's information.
However, all they knew was that He Tiantian had a grandfather with overseas connections. Even though her grandfather had passed away, such a connection still existed!
However, they were unaware that He Tiantian actually had a deeper overseas background. It was just that those things were only known to a few big shots, and the agreement they reached with Bai Qiongyu was only known to those few people!
Huo Yingjie was completely unaware of all this.
After the little tortoise came here with Huo Yingjie, it focused on cultivation and didn't get too involved in outside affairs.
The owner is very capable, and the little tortoise doesn't want to interfere in everything.
It will only step in if it's something the owner can't do.
Five days of rest went by so quickly!
Although the holiday was short, everyone is young and, after a rest, is full of energy and ready to get back to work.
After coordination and statistics, all the small projects have been completed, and we can now move on to the next step: assembly and debugging.
Because of the rigorous calculations, theoretical support, and reasonable margin of error, the assembly went smoothly, leaving only the last step.
Debugging and testing.
We've completed 90% of it, with only 10% left. Everyone is very excited.
If they succeed, their group will go down in history!
However, just as they were waiting for the organization to approve the experiment, three people entered Director Qian's office and brought out more detailed information about Huo Yingjie.
Director Qian's face darkened, and he frowned, asking, "What do you mean by this?"
“We also want to know what Director Qian means!” one of the men said with a half-smile. “Look, it’s written here very clearly. Why are you protecting Huo Yingjie? According to convention, people like that are not allowed to participate in research missions.”
Director Qian squinted and said, "That's just his fiancée, not his wife yet. Besides, Huo Yingjie has been conducting research here for the past three years without any communication or contact with the outside world. Why can't he continue to participate in the research mission?"
"Heh, isn't it Director Qian who's showing favoritism?" the man said softly. "How does Director Qian intend to handle this matter?"
Director Qian sensed that these three people were up to no good. Although they were somewhat aggressive, there was still room for negotiation in his tone.
Thinking about this, Director Qian vaguely guessed what these people were thinking.
"What do you want?" Director Qian said. "Besides, how did you get this information?"
The man smiled and said, "Old Qian, some things aren't really secrets."
Upon hearing this, Director Qian turned pale. The most basic principle in a secret base is secrecy, yet this person was saying that it wasn't a secret at all!
It's easy to imagine that this person is very familiar with this place. However, he is usually sent by his superiors and doesn't care about the research. Now that he has suddenly jumped out, his purpose is also easy to guess: he just wants to reap the benefits.
Upon hearing this, Director Qian couldn't help but sneer and said, "Then you must have also found out Huo Yingjie's identity. He's not some nameless, ordinary researcher!"
"Hehe, that's no need for Director Qian to worry about." The man smiled "kindly." "We only want results and don't want to offend Huo Yingjie or the Huo family."
Director Qian cursed inwardly, "You've already offended Huo Yingjie and the Huo family by stealing someone else's hard work!"
"Heh, you've got a good idea," Director Qian said. "Is that all the reason you're going to use?"
"Yes, that's the reason we'll use," the man said softly. "We'll need Director Qian's help with this."
"Help?" Director Qian squinted and said, "What you're doing is completely wrong. You know Huo Yingjie is innocent; you just want credit for him. But that's Huo Yingjie's hard work. Aren't you disheartening to researchers by doing this?"
