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

Chapter 461 What if you starve to death while writing about that kind of thing?

"Okay, okay, don't cry... You're the best baby, I won't leave you, never, don't be sad."

Liao Haomiao comforted Zhu Tao for a long time. After crying, Zhu Tao became very clingy, hugging Liao Haomiao tightly and refusing to let go. She even wanted to follow him to the bathroom...

After a while, Liao Haomiao carried Zhu Tao to the sofa, covered her with a small blanket, and saw that she was still looking at him with teary eyes. Liao Haomiao couldn't help but smile slightly...

"Okay, you must be hungry after crying for so long. Don't order takeout, it's not good. I'll cook for you."

Liao Haomiao patted Zhu Tao's head and said softly...

"Um..."

Zhu Tao grunted, then nodded. She still wanted to eat Liao Haomiao's cooking; she was used to it and didn't really like eating other people's cooking anymore.

Liao Haomiao went to the kitchen, tied on his scarf, and started cooking. He no longer felt tired or stressed. He just felt that they had only just begun, and he was still so young. How could he feel so tired now...?

Especially since there are people I want to give happiness to, I can't give up on them.

After preparing the meal, Liao Haomiao brought the food to the table and then invited Zhu Tao to eat.

Zhu Tao has composed herself and held back her tears.

The moment Liao Haomiao left, she felt genuinely uneasy, as if she was about to be abandoned.

This might be what's known as the "abandoned cat effect." She had broken up with Liao Haomiao once before, so she's being extra careful now. She knows that if she breaks up with Liao Haomiao again, there's definitely no future for them...

Just now, sitting on the sofa watching Liao Haomiao cooking in the kitchen, she realized that only Liao Haomiao could give her happiness; she wouldn't be happy without him...

So many people are better than Liao Haomiao, but no one can replace him...

The two sat at the dining table eating. Zhu Tao picked up a piece of food, put it in her mouth, and instantly felt much better. She smiled and swayed her body.

"Mmm... Baby's cooking is still the best!"

Zhu Tao said happily, while Liao Haomiao smiled with a hint of helplessness and then put a lot of food into her bowl.

After a while, Liao Haomiao seemed to remember something and asked:

"By the way, didn't you say you had an interview tomorrow? Where is it?"

"Hmm... there's one more company, Yi Lan. This is my last choice..."

Zhu Tao slowed down her eating pace, lowered her head, and answered softly.

She never imagined she was so useless, unable to even find a job...

She had already decided that if she failed this interview, she wouldn't consider those companies anymore. She would just find any job, at least she would have an income each month and wouldn't be a lazy bum at home...

As long as I can help relieve Liao Haomiao's pressure, that's fine. Otherwise, he's so tired, and all I can do is worry and feel sorry for him...

"Ah... Yi Lan, I heard their family doesn't have a very good reputation, they seem unreliable, maybe we should just forget about it..."

Liao Haomiao also knew a lot of inside information within the company, including information about this Yi Lan company. He heard that it was very unreliable, exploiting and cheating its employees, and taking advantage of legal loopholes.

Liao Haomiao was worried about letting Zhu Tao go to that kind of company; if she went there, it would be better not to go at all.

"But...I have no other choice..."

"Well... why don't you think about whether there are any jobs you can do from home? I remember that Sister Shen Linyi works from home, right?"

Liao Haomiao didn't actually want Zhu Tao to work at the company. After entering the workforce, he realized how difficult it was to get by, and he didn't want Zhu Tao to suffer like that.

If possible, he really hoped Zhu Tao could work from home and not have to come into contact with those people outside...

Zhu Tao shook her head and said:

"How can I compare to them? Do you know how outstanding they are? If I could be like them, I wouldn't have to worry about job interviews, and I would be so much more confident..."

"Are there any other jobs I can do from home? How about looking for part-time work online? For example... writing web novels?"

"Forget it, what if I starve to death writing that kind of stuff?"

Zhu Tao refused without hesitation; her mind was blank, how could she write...?

Liao Haomiao was also troubled. He tapped the table and muttered:

"I wish you could come to my company, then I could take care of you..."

Liao Haomiao certainly wanted Zhu Tao to work with him in the same company, but that wasn't realistic. He'd already tried, and Zhu Tao couldn't get into his company...

"Why don't we ask Zhou Heng? Doesn't he work at Junheng? Maybe he can help?"

Liao Haomiao then thought of Zhou Heng. Since he had no other options, he might as well try to find some connections. His biggest connection right now was probably Zhou Heng.

Being able to work at Junheng already makes you stand out among your peers.

"What can we do...? Do you think he can still let me into Junheng...? That's unrealistic..."

Zhu Tao shrugged helplessly. She knew her own level; getting into Junheng was a joke, simply impossible.

"What about Yin Mengran? What is she doing now?"

"Eh...right, I don't actually know..."

Liao Haomiao and Zhu Tao were suddenly stunned, realizing they had no idea what Yin Mengran was doing. Last time they only inquired about Zhou Heng, and after learning Yin Mengran was pregnant, they hadn't asked anything else.

The last time I saw Yin Mengran was when she gave birth; she must be in her postpartum period now.

So what is she doing now? Is she working somewhere? Or is she staying home taking care of the kids?

Zhu Tao opened Yin Mengran's WeChat Moments and found that she only posted pictures of her child and Zhou Heng, with no news about her work...

"Zhou Heng's family is well-off, so he probably found Yin Mengran a job too, right? Why don't you two contact him and see if he can help you?"

"Well... okay, it's been a long time since I contacted her, I should probably reach out. Let's do it tomorrow, it's getting too late today..."

Zhu Tao nodded. She felt that instead of worrying here, she should brainstorm with her friends; perhaps they would have a solution.

After they finished eating, they cleared the table together.

Then, Liao Haomiao sat down on the sofa, his hand instinctively reaching into his pocket where his cigarettes were...

He always goes home and smokes a cigarette after lunch at the company; it's become a habit for him...

However, he stopped as soon as he placed his hand on it, glanced at Zhu Tao in the kitchen, and then withdrew his hand...

Although Zhu Tao said she didn't care about her smoking, it's still not very nice to smoke so openly at home...

Just then, Zhu Tao came out of the kitchen and placed a small jar in front of Liao Haomiao...

"promise..."

"Huh? This..."

Zhu Tao blinked and said:

"It's an ashtray, otherwise where are you going to flick your cigarette ash? Be careful, don't burn a hole in the sofa..."
