The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1206 - 1175: New Instructions

Old Master Huo, upon hearing this, truly felt at ease.

"That’s good," Old Master Huo said, "You can indeed rest well at home. Your father will be back tomorrow, and tomorrow night your whole family should come over to the old house, so we can have a proper chat."

"Heh, I’ll have to ask my second brother for advice then," Huo Zheqian said. "I need to learn more about managing local affairs."

"Is great uncle going to work elsewhere?" Huo Yingjie asked. He didn’t know the specifics because he wasn’t in Yanjing during the New Year.

"Yes, a position in Nanhu Province," Huo Zheqian said. "After these few years there, I’ll be able to retire."

"What about my father?" Huo Yingjie asked, surmising in his heart that the reason his great uncle was leaving was that his father was returning to the capital.

Indeed, it was somewhat improper to have both brothers working in the headquarters while both holding important positions.

"Your father is about to return to Yanjing to take the position of deputy general, focusing on the economy," Huo Zheqian said. "It’s the position your father deserves. If he does well, perhaps he could really assume the top position in five years."

Old Master Huo was very pleased, feeling that the Huo Family’s wings were gradually growing fuller.

Huo Yingjie, although expecting this, worried about the difficulties his father might face.

However, his father liked challenges and might enjoy this.

"Oh, then here’s to wishing great uncle a smooth career ahead," Huo Yingjie said with a smile. "If possible, I will discuss with Tiantian about letting our subsidiary companies invest and set up factories in Nanhu Province."

Huo Zheqian’s eyes brightened upon hearing this and he laughed, "Heh, that would be more than welcome! Do you have any industries in mind that yield quick results, have relatively high profits, and can create lots of job opportunities?"

"Heh, let me think, I do have quite a few in hand," Huo Yingjie said. "Firstly, Sanfeng Bridge, for vacuum-packed cooked food. Such foods have opened up markets in Yanjing and coastal areas, but there’s still room in the central and western markets; second, the electric and solar water heater factory from Nan City could set up there too, as those items are bulky and transport costs are high – setting up there could reduce those costs; thirdly, the cosmetic company which imports foreign equipment and formulas, basically bringing in my wife Tiantian’s grandmother’s business from France."

Hearing this, Huo Zheqian was delighted, nodding continuously, "My goodness, these three companies seem well-established and labor-intensive, and they can also stimulate the development of local industries."

"Yes," Huo Yingjie nodded, "And I also have a patents company on my side. When it reaches Beihu Province, we can see which enterprises need these patents and let you use them for free."

"Good, good!" Huo Zheqian said with a laugh, "Let me thank you in advance."

"Heh, no need to thank me," Huo Yingjie said. "All these are actually Tiantian’s businesses."

"No wonder everyone outside envies the Huo Family for marrying a golden girl," Huo Zheqian said. "Later I’ll personally thank Tiantian."

Old Master Huo said proudly: "With family harmony, everything will prosper. If we discuss things together, there’s always a solution. You just need to be careful and cautious, and if there’s something indecisive, you can discuss it with me and your second brother. Don’t fall for others’ tricks, get exploited, engage in corruption, or encounter major accidents, and you can achieve great political results."

Old Master Huo had indeed put his heart and soul into his eldest son’s career path.

The effort he spent on his eldest son far exceeded that on his second son.

The grandfather and grandson talked a lot until they were called out to eat.

The three of them drank quite a bit that evening, feeling happy, and since tomorrow was Sunday, they didn’t hold back as they usually would.

When returning home at night, Old Master Huo’s face was flushed, and Huo Zheqian was also tipsy.

Only after sending the elder away did Huo Yingjie go back to the bathroom to wash up.

He Tiantian settled each of the children, and by then it was already ten o’clock at night.
