Chapter 553 Report on the Battle Situation
After the plane landed, Hua Yan and Xue Biao parted ways and went about their own business.
Hua Yan went directly to Liu Heming's workplace. When the guard saw her, he called Liu Heming's office without her prompting and, upon receiving permission, readily let her through.
"Uncle Liu, I have fulfilled my mission and completed the task you assigned me."
Then, Hua Yan told Liu Heming in detail about the major and minor events that had happened over the past month.
After listening, Liu Heming was speechless; nothing he said could express the excitement he felt at that moment.
"Jiu'er, on behalf of the soldiers at the front, I thank you; on behalf of the country, I thank you; on behalf of the people on the border, I thank you."
After saying that, Liu Heming patted Hua Yan's shoulder heavily.
"Uncle Liu, this is all I should do. I should also thank you for sending me so many outstanding talents."
"Haha! Jiu'er, you've misunderstood. It wasn't me who sent them there; they were all eager to go to you."
In the past, many people felt reluctant to leave the military and not be able to stay in the army.
Haha! Now things are really good. After they found out they were going to be discharged, the first thing they did was come to me and ask me to introduce them to your team.
"Jiu'er, you have no idea, going to your place is more popular than going to any government office."
Liu Heming only knew that Hua Yan paid a high salary, but he didn't really know anything else. He was very curious, but he didn't want to ask too much, otherwise he would seem like a gossip.
Haha! I wonder what Liu Heming would think if he knew that Hua Yan had set up an information gathering company and a security company.
If they knew that Huayan's two companies had expanded their business overseas, would they panic and report it to the authorities?
Liu Liang and An Xin have made it clear to their subordinates that we are no longer soldiers. Apart from not doing anything illegal or disorderly, we are only responsible to our boss, and our missions are all confidential and must not be disclosed to anyone outside the team.
So even when these people boasted to their former comrades about how great their jobs were, they never talked about their specific tasks. They just said that once you were selected by the boss, good days were ahead.
Seeing the mysterious yet proud demeanor of their veteran comrades, the soldiers guessed that these men would surely have a chance to prove themselves. Therefore, they all trained diligently, fearing they wouldn't be able to join Hua Yan's team upon their discharge.
Hua Yan is grateful to Liu Heming for providing her with a continuous stream of outstanding talents.
"Uncle Liu, it's all thanks to your excellent publicity and oversight. Uncle Liu Quan said that the people you're sending now are of much higher quality than the first batch of people who went. He feels so inferior compared to them."
Hua Yan knew that Liu Heming was setting increasingly higher standards for the people he selected for her, all to ensure quality.
"I really put my heart into the selection process. That's all because of the good compensation you offer. If I didn't raise my standards, I would be doing a disservice to the compensation you provide."
Liu Heming was very concerned about Hua Yan's affairs.
Firstly, because Hua Yan cured his daughter's illness, revitalizing his heart that had been disappointed for twenty years.
Secondly, because of Hua Yan's unwavering loyalty to the sect, she repeatedly rushed to the front lines and ventured into dangerous situations.
Thirdly, because of Hua Yan, General Gao Wei looked at him differently; he had benefited from Hua Yan's influence.
Fourthly, he likes Hua Yan because she is a person of great principles and vision.
There are many other reasons as well. Now he treats Hua Yan like his own daughter, so he cares a lot about her.
The father and son chatted for a while, discussing everything from national affairs to trivial matters. Liu Heming was willing to listen to Hua Yan, as she was too busy and it had become a luxury to hear her speak.
"Jiu'er, come to my house for dinner today! Your Aunt Yuchan misses you. She was complaining about me when she didn't see you last time!"
Liu Heming brought his elderly wife out.
"Uncle Liu, I won't go over to bother Aunt Yuchan today. I'll go back with Sister Zhiyi after she's rested."
Hua Yan wants to see Taiji the most right now. It's been a month since they last met, and she doesn't know how he is doing.
For the past month, Hua Yan has not contacted anyone, because the border issue is more important than anything else, and she cannot allow any accidents to happen.
"Alright, come back with your sister Zhiyi sometime."
Liu Heming knew he was being unreasonable, but he couldn't help but say it.
"Okay! Uncle Liu, I have to go back to school. The principal and teachers are going to be furious with me again."
"It's okay, I've already asked for leave for you."
Liu Heming's considerations were quite thorough.
Actually, even if Liu Heming didn't ask Hua Yan for leave, Taiji would have.
"That's great, I don't have to worry about being scolded anymore."
"Hmph! They can't bear to scold you! Although they say you're always skipping class, they can't hide their affection for you. They say that even though you don't come to class, you always get full marks on the exams."
You have no idea, they're planning to recommend you for a master's program!
Liu Heming knew that Hua Yan was outstanding, but he didn't expect her to be this outstanding. Not only was she the top scorer in the college entrance examination at a young age, but she also did very well in university, getting full marks in every subject, so that the teachers turned a blind eye to whether she attended class or not.
It was the principal who told him that he wanted Hua Yan to pursue a master's degree.
"Ah? Is there still such a thing?"
Hua Yan was also surprised that the teachers and principal treated her so well. That saved her from being scolded.
"I'll take this opportunity to mention taking political science as an elective to the principal. The school doesn't offer military science; if all else fails, I can hang out with that 'muddled-headed guy'—his school definitely has that major." Hua Yan thought to herself.
"You think I'm the only one who saw your extraordinary qualities? The president of Peking University is a man with discerning eyes; he's just as good at judging people as I am."
He also told me that when he went to your house to try to persuade you to attend Peking University, he was so moved by your firm decision to attend Peking University that he almost cried.
He said, "A talent like yours is one in a century; Yenching University cannot afford to lose you."
Liu Heming vividly remembers his conversation with the president of Yenching University that day.
"Hehe! Uncle Liu, if you keep talking, I'm about to reveal my true colors. Can't you see I can't help but laugh out loud now?!"
"I really don't want to be proud, but you've all praised me so much, I feel like I'd be a bit numb if I didn't show some pride. Haha!"
Hua Yan laughed heartily as she spoke, and Liu Heming laughed along with her.
The father and son laughed heartily.
Liu Heming watched Hua Yan's retreating figure, feeling incredibly comforted. Such an outstanding child, so close to their family—it was a stroke of luck.
Hua Yan returned to school in a car arranged by Liu Heming, just as school was letting out in the afternoon.
Hua Yan asked the driver to park at the school gate, since there were few people with cars at this time, and seeing a car coming in would attract everyone's attention.
After thanking the driver, Hua Yan gave him a gift. The driver was flattered and refused to accept the gift, but Hua Yan insisted on giving it to him.
Hua Yan dislikes owing favors and will never delay solving problems with money. This is a lesson she learned about human relationships from her previous life.
Hua Yan took out her phone and called Taiji.
"Brother Taiji, I want to eat with you."
Taiji was packing up his textbooks; he had just asked his teacher a sophisticated question.
Seeing such a studious student, the teacher felt a surge of affection for his talent and immediately asked him if he would like to become his graduate student.
Taiji was stunned for a while before he realized what was happening and nodded hurriedly.
Since returning from Country A, Taiji has been preparing for his studies at MIT in Country A, thinking about how to accelerate his learning progress. Therefore, he previews each course in advance, organizes outlines, and promptly asks teachers for help with any parts he doesn't understand.
He was thinking of going to study in Country A right now, but he couldn't bear to leave Hua Yan behind, so he didn't let go of the olive branch his teacher offered.
Wherever he is, Taiji's goal is to learn as much as possible. Anyway, he can go to MIT anytime.
Before Taiji could calm down, he saw the caller ID and excitedly stood up again.
"Jiu'er, are you done with your work?"
When Hua Yan left Shengjing, she told Taiji that she had something to do while she was away and that he shouldn't worry.
"Okay! I'm done with work. I'm starving and exhausted now, you treat me to dinner!"
"Okay! Where are you? I'll come find you."
Hearing that Hua Yan was tired and hungry, Taiji didn't want her to walk any further.
"I'm at the school gate. You can go straight to the cafeteria; we'll meet there."
"it is good!"
This is currently the most time- and energy-efficient solution, and Taiji immediately agreed.
