Everyone looked at Huo Yingjie, somewhat puzzled.
"Yingjie, what makes you say that?" Huo Zhe asked. "If we were to exchange your safety for an official position, it wouldn't be worth it for us. Our Huo family is small to begin with, and the safety of our lives is the most important thing."
“Yes, Second Brother, you can’t do anything foolish,” Huo Yingjun said. “It’s our duty to work hard and reimburse the country, but when it comes to matters of life and death, we can’t be careless.”
My father had two uncles, and the two brothers supported each other.
Among the third generation, there are only two brothers, him and Fok Ying-kit.
If Huo Yingjie gets into trouble, Huo Yingjun will feel helpless and alone in the future.
Old Master Huo didn't speak, but stared intently at Huo Yingjie.
Huo Yingjie smiled and explained, "In the past, although the higher-ups knew my research was excellent and highly recognized my abilities, because I was young and wanted more power, I could only climb the ladder step by step. But because of the intervention of foreign forces, the higher-ups realized my value, so I could skip many steps and directly obtain greater power. The top leader personally told me that he would build a state-of-the-art laboratory for me, and apart from the people sent to manage it, I would be in charge of all scientific research matters. I am now the true Chief Engineer Huo."
"Chief Engineer Huo?" Huo Yingjun exclaimed in surprise, "That's a rather impressive title!"
Old Master Huo seemed to understand and nodded, saying, "Yingjie is right. Yingjie has actually turned misfortune into blessing. The military industry is different from politics. No matter who comes to power, the country needs powerful national weapons as a backing. Yingjie will become a rising star in the military and make up for our family's lack of influence in the military."
"I see." The group of people suddenly realized.
"Yingjie, you're great!" Huo Zhe praised. "No wonder my direct supervisor kept bringing up Yingjie and my second brother when we were chatting. Turns out he's got his eye on our family's two most promising talents!"
“Hehe, who can say otherwise?” Huo Yingjun said. “They often talk about it.”
Huo Zhekun smiled and said, "Big brother, handsome, you're both too kind."
"Hehe, my two sons and grandson are all very outstanding," Old Master Huo chuckled. "Now, everyone who mentions the Huo family gives us a thumbs up. If you all work hard and help each other, you can all reach even greater heights in the future. If you brothers fight amongst yourselves and scheme against each other, you'll destroy yourselves without anyone else's help. How can you talk about progress or reaching new heights then!"
"Yes, Father!"
"Yes, Grandfather!"
Afterwards, the father, son, grandfather, and grandson continued their conversation.
Jiang Lifang and He Tiantian were downstairs keeping their mother-in-law company and talking to their grandmother.
The nannies were preparing dinner in the kitchen, while the children were all playing in the backyard.
A little while later, Zhao Huanhuan got off work and saw her second aunt return. They exchanged pleasantries again.
After Zhao Huanhuan changed into her pajamas, she came down from the second floor.
He Tiantian took out two large brown paper bags from the big bag next to her. They were bulging with contents, including an account book. She said, "Auntie, this is this year's account book. Take a look. If there are no problems, you can put your fingerprints on it, and I can give you the dividends from the past six months of opening the shop."
Song Chunli had been thinking about this matter ever since He Tiantian appeared. When she saw He Tiantian, she was overjoyed, but also a little worried. What if there was only a little bit?
Ugh, I'm a little nervous.
He Tiantian first handed the ledger to Song Chunli.
Song Chunli didn't really understand it either, so she flipped to the last page and saw the total amount—only eight thousand nine hundred. She was a little disappointed.
It will take several years to recoup the initial investment.
Seeing that Song Chunli's expression was not good, He Tiantian was a little surprised. Did her aunt think that the share of 89,000 was too small?
After Song Chunli finished reading, she handed the elder to Zhao Huanhuan.
Zhao Huanhuan went straight to the last page to see how much it cost; that was pretty direct.
"Oh my god?" Zhao Huanhuan's eyes widened. "Sweetie, you didn't give us all the profits, did you? So much?"
Song Chunli was furious. Zhao Huanhuan, that shallow-minded girl, only had eight thousand nine hundred, yet she said it was too much.
He Tiantian smiled and said, "No, with a 10% share, I can get 89,000. There are still many imperfections in the opening this year. I will continue to work hard next year and try to give my aunt and sister-in-law more dividends!"
"How much?" Song Chunli exclaimed shrilly, "Eighty-nine thousand?"
Zhao Huanhuan looked a little embarrassed. Her mother-in-law was too greedy. She was entitled to 89,000 yuan for a 10% share, and she still thought it wasn't enough?
“Yes, eighty-nine thousand.” Zhao Huanhuan said, “Mom, if you can get eighty-nine thousand, I can get one too. Tiantian, wait a minute, I’ll get a pen and inkstone right away, I’ll sign and put my fingerprint on it.”
Song Chunli was taken aback, then took the elder's book again to look at it, counted the numbers on it, and exclaimed in surprise, "It really is 89,000! I think my old eyes are failing me and I read it as 8,900."
Song Chunli changed quickly, showing no sign of embarrassment.
Jiang Lifang and He Tiantian exchanged a smile and said, "It's normal that you misread the densely packed numbers on that ledger, sister-in-law. I get dizzy just looking at it."
“Who says otherwise?” Song Chunli was overjoyed. In just six months, she had not only recouped her initial investment but also made a considerable profit.
Eighty-nine thousand in six months, that's two hundred thousand in a year.
This is only 10%, but He Tiantian has 80% of the shares, so isn't that even more?
Thinking about this, Song Chunli felt a little unhappy, but then she thought that since she was getting it for free, if she was still not satisfied, her whole family would probably criticize her.
Forget it, I have enough money already, I can't be too greedy.
Madam Huo was also very happy, because at least her eldest son's family wouldn't do anything inappropriate because of money.
Zhao Huanhuan took out a pen and inkpad, signed her name, and pressed her fingerprint on it.
Song Chunli also signed and pressed her fingerprint.
He Tiantian handed the huge kraft paper bag containing 89,000 yuan to Song Chunli and Zhao Huanhuan respectively.
Song Chunli was very happy and said with a smile, "Lifang, Tiantian, you two chat first. I'll take the money upstairs first, and then I'll cook something nice for you and your mother-in-law later."
"No need to trouble your sister-in-law." Jiang Lifang smiled; this sister-in-law was actually quite interesting.
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all, we're all family." Song Chunli walked briskly upstairs.
Zhao Huanhuan blushed slightly, but was also very excited. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Second Aunt, thank you, Second Sister-in-law."
"You're welcome," He Tiantian said with a smile. "Let's all make money together."
Zhao Huanhuan understood that the second wife wanted to promote the first wife, though she didn't say it aloud.
"Then I'll take the money upstairs first, and then come back to keep my second aunt and sister-in-law company," Zhao Huanhuan said with a smile.
"Go ahead," Jiang Lifang said with a smile.
Zhao Huanhuan then turned and went upstairs, her heart burning with excitement.
Back inside, I was thinking of counting the money, but then I remembered that my second aunt and sister-in-law were downstairs and wouldn't lie to me, so I put the money away and quickly came down.
