The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1154 - 1123: A Spectacular Outcome
Chapter 1154: Chapter 1123: A Spectacular Outcome
A week later, Huashan came, bringing lots of entertainment newspapers and magazines from Xiangjiang.
Huashan, Cui Ying placed these on the table in He Tiantian’s yard and said, "It’s fascinating, Tiantian, do you want to take a look?"
He Tiantian was interested and started reading them in chronological order.
The top one reported that "Tai Chi Grandmaster" had earned three million on its first day in Xiangjiang, and even more astonishingly, five million on the second day. Simultaneously, the movie had also started showing in Southeast Asian countries, where it had achieved even higher box office earnings.
There were also pictures of Tang Qian and some of the key creative personnel from "Tai Chi Grandmaster", along with some newspapers that praised and lauded the movie, calling it another masterpiece following the Mainland’s "Shaolin Temple".
That wasn’t all, many film companies were actually trying to find out Li Xian’s background, hoping he would develop his career in Xiangjiang.
Li Xian loved making films, but he preferred to stay in Yanjing, among familiar faces, rather than live estranged in Xiangjiang. He immediately refused.
Tang Qian had originally been worried that the young Li Xian, enamored with the glitz and glamour of Xiangjiang, would choose to stay. Seeing that Li Xian disagreed, he was relieved.
At the same time, he realized that Li Xian had shares in Yanjing’s entertainment companies. He thought, why go work for others when you can be your own boss? Moreover, Xiangjiang was known to have ties with the underworld; it was said that the gangsters there would compel stars to act in films by force, and those who refused were beaten.
Thus, he stopped worrying entirely.
Then came news that was exhilarating.
Zhaoding Xianghui, a famous socialite in Xiangjiang, and her young lover were caught cheating by her main lover, the Boss of the Xinyi Society gang, Zhao Gang. Consequently, Zhaoding Xianghui and Ah Bin decided not to stop halfway but plotted to kill Zhao Gang and seize the power of Xinyi Society. However, the experienced Zhao Gang acted first, and Zhaoding Xianghui and Ah Bin were hacked to death, and Zhao Gang was arrested by the Xiangjiang police.
"Not bad, neat and clean," He Tiantian praised, "With this woman gone, all her lovers are gone too; we can rest easy now. By the way, what about her child?"
Huashan explained, "The child has gone missing, the police are trying their best to locate him."
He Tiantian wasn’t worried, after all, Liu Lingli had never shared her past identity with anyone, so these events couldn’t be traced back to them, thereby eliminating the issue of the problem returning as soon as it’s solved.
Liu Lingli, this woman, was finally gone from this world.
She should have been executed by firing squad when she killed those people from Hujia Village.
"Yes, you have worked hard, Huashan; you don’t have to travel on business anymore," He Tiantian said, "You and your wife can be reunited."
Saying this, Huashan felt somewhat embarrassed.
Cui Ying, who was close to He Tiantian, glared at her and said, "Always spouting nonsense. Alright, Huashan is back, so I’m asking for leave; I’m planning to go back and visit the kids."
"Go ahead," He Tiantian nodded, understanding Cui Ying and Huashan’s decision was for the benefit of their child, and they had no choice but to leave their child behind.
In the evening, Huo Yingjie came back and also saw those reports.
"This time Huashan certainly didn’t disappoint me," Huo Yingjie said. "In the future, I should grant them some benefits."
"Having Cui Ying and Huashan helping around the house has indeed saved us a lot of trouble. If possible, we should help them out," He Tiantian said. Cui Ying and Huashan didn’t care much about money; what they cared about was how to cultivate themselves and how to prolong their lives.
"Understood," Huo Yingjie replied, refreshed and smiling, even humming a little tune.
"You’re in a good mood?" He Tiantian poured him a glass of water, "Tell me about it, let me hear too."
"It’s nothing major, just that since the evening of that day, everyone’s spirits have been high, and they have been very motivated, greatly improving work efficiency," Huo Yingjie said, "This year, our department will probably be recognized as advanced again."
"Congratulations in advance," He Tiantian nodded, "I’m truly proud of you."
Huo Yingjie smiled even more happily.
Huo Yingjie had been very happy these past few days, yet one day he came back from work somewhat unhappy.
As his wife, she quickly noticed something was off with Huo Yingjie.
"Brother Yingjie, what’s wrong? Are you facing difficulties at work?" He Tiantian asked. Recently, there had been no issues at home, and both her in-laws and the old house were fine, so it must be something to do with Huo Yingjie’s work.
Huo Yingjie replied gruffly, "I have to go on another business trip!"
"Ah?" He Tiantian was also taken aback, "Since you came to Yanjing, you seem to have been working at the research institute without having to go on business trips. What is this trip for?"
Huo Yingjie shook his head and said, "I don’t even know, probably to tackle some high-tech machinery! They didn’t say how long it would take, I’m not at ease, I don’t want to go."
"Hehe, if they are summoning you, it must be a huge project. If you can ensure your safe return, then go; if not, then don’t." He Tiantian said, not stopping her husband as his skills far exceeded just material research.
Just like now, where Huo Yingjie also supported her in pursuing her hobbies.
"But I don’t know when I’ll be back, and I can’t bear to leave you," Huo Yingjie said, gently wrapping his arms around He Tiantian’s slim waist.
He Tiantian smiled and said, "Don’t we have a way to sense each other? If I’m in danger, you’ll know. Besides, from now until next year’s Olympic Games, I doubt there’ll be much happening here in Yanjing, so you don’t need to worry about the safety of me and the kids. And if worse comes to worst, we still have Cui Ying, Huashan, oh right, and Little Rotating Turtle, Snake King..."
Hearing He Tiantian’s words, Huo Yingjie thought for a moment before slowly nodding and saying, "If I sense you’re in danger, I can come out, leaving a substitute there."
"Right, is it just you going? What about Yuan Chao?" He Tiantian asked.
"Just me, Yuan Chao still has to help me manage the Material Research Institute," Huo Yingjie said. "There are already so many projects now, probably enough to last for a year’s worth of research."
"Just you alone?" He Tiantian was a bit worried. "Could it be dangerous?"
"Hehe, no, the previous incident was an accident," Huo Yingjie said. "This mission is very tightly secured, only a few people know about it."
He Tiantian gently embraced Huo Yingjie and said, "Brother Yingjie, no matter what, you must preserve your life."
"Yes, I will," Huo Yingjie replied, "Tomorrow I need to go and inform my grandparents; as for my father, I won’t tell him specifically. You can let them know."
"Okay!" He Tiantian replied.
Afterward, Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian took their children to the old house.
Huo Yingjie then had a secret discussion with Old Master Huo and Huo Zheqian in the study.
"Yingjie, although I don’t know what the project is, the fact that they are transferring you over means it is a top-secret mission," Old Master Huo said. "Just pulling this off would be a world sensation."
"I understand, grandfather," Huo Yingjie said. "I will try to complete the project as quickly as possible, hoping to return home soon."
