Although she didn't explicitly say that the two of them weren't suitable to be together at the moment, Han Li understood her unspoken meaning.
For a moment, he felt embarrassed.
Just because he learned about his previous intimate relationship with Jiang Tian, he felt agitated and wanted to force Jiang Tian to step down from her rightful position. What kind of person would that make him?
Even though he organized the base, the ability to make good use of people is a quality that every leader should possess.
Han Li rejected her suggestion: "You've done a great job, you don't need to resign."
Jiang Tian smiled even more elegantly: "Chief, you don't need to worry. You appointed me to manage the base before, naturally for the sake of the base's overall situation. Now that you're back, the potential dangers have disappeared. All I, as your deputy, can do is stay by your side."
"But my presence is detrimental to your injury, so I hope you can allow me to resign."
Han Li's expression turned grim, and he couldn't help but ask, "I didn't say you would affect my injuries, why would you think that?"
However, with just this one slightly harsh sentence, Han Li noticed that Jiang Tian's eyes dimmed for a moment.
For a moment, Han Li felt a sharp pain in his heart.
He quickly lowered his voice again: "No, I... I was too harsh just now. What I meant was that I didn't look down on you. You've done a great job, and this position is rightfully yours..."
This was the first time he had ever been so flustered, and his explanation was a complete mess.
However, his clumsiness did not impress Jiang Tian. Jiang Tian looked at him seriously: "Can the leader allow me to leave that position? I just want to live a peaceful life and do not want to put myself in a position where I don't know what to do."
Han Li's pain deepened; his heart told him he couldn't agree.
However, what Jiang Tian said was not without reason.
Everyone knows he has lost part of his memory, and Jiang Tian is even less likely to beg and plead to follow him.
She didn't want to be looked at strangely, but Han Li couldn't suddenly act all lovey-dovey with her.
So... we have no choice but to back down.
Han Li thought for a moment and said, "I'll reserve this position for you. You can go to the hospital to help out first, and we'll make other plans once my memory returns."
"...Then thank you very much, Chief."
Hearing her unfamiliar tone, Han Li felt a surge of frustration.
He returned to his residence in a daze, only to find that his place was covered in a layer of dust.
Because he is the highest leader of the base and holds too many secrets, no one is allowed to approach his residence; only he has the authority to open the door.
Han Li remembered that his residence was always kept very clean, and that dust should not have accumulated so much after he had been away for a while.
The next day, when he went to Dr. Liu for a checkup, he couldn't help but bring up the matter.
Dr. Liu found Han Li's injury quite unusual after it happened.
Han Li's physique is not much different from the indestructible body in novels. He has absorbed so many superpowers that he is almost indestructible, but the injury in his brain still remains.
Dr. Liu gave him the medicine, but found it wasn't quite right for his condition, so he changed it.
Han Li drank some more, and the blood stasis finally subsided somewhat.
Dr. Liu really thought Han Li's constitution was a bit magical. He loved taking on these kinds of cases, so he paid close attention to examining him.
He was observing the data recorded by the instrument when he heard Han Li mention his house. Without thinking, he said, "Don't you think about how long it's been since you went back? Ever since Jiang Tian got together with you, you've been staying at her place. You might have even forgotten which way your own house is."
