I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 470 I'll do whatever you ask me to do, really, anything!

Zhou Heng first took Liao Haomiao to Zhu Tao's hotel, found Zhu Tao's room, and with the password she sent, easily entered the room.

After putting his things down, he left with Zhou Heng, intending to go to Tianheng to pick them up after get off work.

The car pulled up in front of Tianheng, and the two waited for everyone else to get off work. After a while, they saw Yin Mengran and the others come out.

Yin Mengran was carrying the child, followed by Yu Lingxue and Zhu Tao. Zhu Tao looked listless and walked with little strength, needing Yu Lingxue's support...

Upon seeing the group, Zhou Heng and Liao Haomiao quickly got out of the car to greet them. Yin Mengran smiled immediately upon seeing Zhou Heng and said to the child in her arms:

"Son, look who's here! Dad's here, Dad's here to see you."

"Wife! Son! I'm here!"

Zhou Heng jogged over and hugged Yin Mengran. The child, nestled in their arms, immediately reached out her little hand to touch Zhou Heng's face upon seeing him...

"Son, did you miss Daddy? Daddy will give you a hug."

Zhou Heng took the child and held him in his arms. His joy overshadowed the fatigue he had accumulated over the past few days. At this moment, he seemed to be completely energized, as if he were not tired at all.

Liao Haomiao also walked towards Zhu Tao. He was somewhat surprised to see Zhu Tao's appearance and wondered what was wrong with her.

Yu Lingxue walked up to Liao Haomiao and directly pushed Zhu Tao, whom she was supporting, to him:

"Here, it's yours now."

"Oh--"

Liao Haomiao was startled and quickly helped Zhu Tao up, holding her in his arms and asking worriedly:

"Baby, what's wrong...?"

"Uh..."

Zhu Tao looked up and saw Liao Haomiao, then leaned against him and whispered:

"tired..."

"what..."

"First day at work today, so tiring... I don't know anything, I have to learn from others, there's so much to do, it's really mentally taxing, and I stood all day, I'm so exhausted now..."

Zhu Tao said listlessly that this was her first job. She had come to work full of confidence, and the realization that she had a job and had entered society made her especially happy.

But her illusions were shattered after just two hours on the job; it was simply too exhausting...

When others were showing her around, she was unfamiliar with everything, so she had to ask questions and learn everything, which made her very busy and tired.

"Ah...so tiring...then...why don't you..."

Before Liao Haomiao could finish speaking, Zhu Tao interrupted him, stood up straight, covered his mouth with her hand, looked at him with a firm gaze, and said:

"Don't worry, I'm just not used to it yet. After all, it's my first job! The person who's training me said that I'll be completely familiar with it in just two months!"

Liao Haomiao was somewhat surprised, his eyes widening as he looked at Zhu Tao and asked, "Two months...that's a long time. What kind of work is it? Is it difficult?"

"Yeah, it's pretty difficult, but I was in charge of the simpler parts, but... the pay is quite high."

Zhu Tao smiled slightly at Liao Haomiao, raised her eyebrows, and looked quite smug.

She was shocked when she heard her salary; it was equivalent to three months' salary of Liao Haomiao's previous job!

So no matter how tiring the job is, she doesn't want to give up and is determined to persevere and cherish this job!

"Uh... okay, okay, okay, then good luck to you! I'll do my best too, let's work hard together!"

Seeing Zhu Tao like this, Liao Haomiao was immediately filled with confidence. He had been worried about Zhu Tao's problem, but now that it was resolved, all he had to do was solve his own.

Their lives can then get back on track and move in a positive direction. They only need to work together for a year and they won't have to endure any more hardship. They will get what they want sooner or later. What they need most now is stability.

"Okay, let's go eat, I'm starving."

Seeing the others talking, Yu Lingxue felt lonely standing there alone, so she urged them on.

Zhou Heng looked at her and asked, "Where's Bai Cang? Call him over."

Yu Lingxue shook her head and said helplessly, "Forget it, he's been quite busy lately. His father has sent him off to do something, and he hardly talks to me. I'll wait until he's free in a while."

"Ah, okay."

That evening, the group found a restaurant. Having not seen each other for a long time, they had a great time together. Zhou Heng and Liao Haomiao also had a few extra drinks.

Liao Haomiao seemed to be under a lot of pressure. He drank very quickly and more than Zhou Heng. After a while, his face turned red, and he became more talkative...

"Brother... I really never imagined my life would turn out like this. I used to think that with my grades, I'd be at the top of my game right after graduation, but I never expected this..."

Liao Haomiao raised his thumb, then flipped it over and pointed it sharply downwards, while simultaneously taking a large gulp of wine...

It was as if he was recalling the grievances he suffered at his previous company, making the liquor in his mouth seem less harsh...

Looking at Liao Haomiao, Zhu Tao felt only heartache. She secretly vowed to work hard and help her man share the burden.

Zhou Heng also looked serious. He reached out and patted Liao Haomiao on the shoulder, saying, "Alright, brother, come with me tomorrow. I'll put your brains to good use, don't worry."

Liao Haomiao looked at Zhou Heng, nodded, and said:

"Okay, brother, I'm relieved to hear that. I'll do whatever you ask, really, anything!"

Liao Haomiao had drunk a bit too much and was speaking incoherently. He subconsciously reached into his pocket and pulled out a cigarette...

I had just put it in my mouth when I remembered that I wasn't at home; there were other people around, including children...

"Oh, I'm going to the restroom."

Liao Haomiao, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, stood up, preparing to go to the restroom for a smoke.

Zhou Heng and the others looked at him in surprise and asked, "You've learned to smoke now?"

"Ah... I smoke one or two occasionally, not much..."

Liao Haomiao waved his hand, then walked out of the private room, intending to go smoke a cigarette and come back later.

He had just stepped out when a man in a suit and tie approached him, carrying a stack of documents and looking like he was in a hurry.

The man stopped Liao Haomiao, bowed slightly, and said in a low voice:

"Excuse me, is Mr. Zhou inside? I have a document that needs his signature..."

Liao Haomiao had just lit a cigarette, put it in his mouth, looked at the man in front of him, blinked, and murmured:

"Mr. Zhou...?"
