Huo Yulin had been living overseas all this time, so he did not know much about the local research scene and was oblivious to how unpopular Bioinformatics was over here.
Huo Yao felt surprised when she heard what her third older brother said. “I think the field has a lot of potential as well, but no one else feels the same way about it.”
“They are just frogs in the well. This subject is quintessential to the study of Bioengineering. How could anyone conduct research without a data analyst? It is simply impossible,” said Huo Yulin
Although he did not specialize in it, he knew about the profession better.
Huo Yao nodded. “Sadly, people don’t appreciate it.”
Huo Yulin rapped his fingers on the table and said, “Study hard. It’s a good major.”
“Uh huh,” acknowledged Huo Yao before she turned to ask. “Brother Yulin, were you looking for me?”
Huo Yulin finally recalled why he wanted to talk to her. He nodded and replied. “I have to go out and I don’t know when I’ll be home.”
Huo Yao waved and replied sweetly the moment she heard what he said, “Sure thing. Go ahead.”
Huo Yulin raised his hand to touch her head and said, “Okay then. I’m off.”
The moment he finished his sentence, he pulled his hand back and turned to walk out of the room.
Huo Yao stayed where she was without moving until Huo Yulin had disappeared through the door. After some time, she shifted her eyes, and continued creating her program.

Huo Yulin drove over to the Huo family’s local branch. The moment he entered the hall, the butler bowed respectfully when he saw him.
Huo Changfeng had just come back and was drinking tea. He put down his teacup and the coldness on his face dissipated as he looked at Huo Yulin. “What are you doing here?”
Huo Yulin nodded and said, “Uncle Chen said something happened, so I came over to check on the situation.”
Huo Changfeng narrowed his eyes and looked stern. “It’s just some buffoons with a death wish acting up.”
Huo Yulin felt slightly relieved. He was glad it wasn’t that serious. He contemplated for a few seconds before he asked. “Uncle Changfeng, who was the culprit?”
“Someone from Europe,” said Huo Changfeng coolly.
Huo Yulin frowned. “How dare they?”
Didn’t they know the Huo family was the most powerful force in Europe?
Huo Changfeng smiled. “They are probably feeling suicidal.”
Huo Yulin cleared his throat and said, “What should we do about it?”
“Just stay out of it. I will take care of it.” Huo Changfeng played with the wooden beads on his wrist with a serious look on his face. He had clearly already come up with a course of action.
Huo Yulin nodded and did not continue probing.
A thought crossed Huo Changfeng’s mind and he said happily, “You have done great work for the family in the capital. From the looks of it, you have matured a lot.”
In the past, they focused on grooming Young Master Yulin while he was abroad. Sadly, he was not interested in managing the family business, so the elders in the family could not help feeling disappointed.
Huo Yulin lowered his eyes. Moments later, he said softly, “I don’t want to keep disappointing my eldest uncle.”
Huo Changfeng smiled. “Although your eldest uncle is a serious man, he is not unreasonable. He isn’t in the habit of forcing people against their will. You know that.”
Huo Yulin felt moved thinking about how his uncle kept helping him through his darkest years. He nodded and said, “I know.”
Meanwhile, Chen Ming walked in from outside to interrupt their conversation.
