The chauffeur first sent Zhou Laichun back to his residence before sending Zhou Sheng back. By the time he got home, it was already 11pm, and both Yu Hao and Fu Liqun were asleep. Zhou Sheng groped around in the dark for a cup of water, then drank it down with some hangover medicine before the feeling of an ocean overturning in his stomach finally settled down a little. He looked down at the text messages he had exchanged with Yu Hao at 6pm.

Yu Hao:【You'll probably be asked out for dinner tonight. I cooked something up myself and ate with Gege.】

Zhou Sheng:【I'll go back right after eating, it won't be any later than 8pm.】

Yu Hao:【No need to be so anxious, it'll always feel a bit more foreign and busy on the first day of work. Jiayou.】

Zhou Sheng went to take a bath, then sorted out the minutes of today's meeting and sent it to the department's manager. He worked until 2am before setting an alarm for 6.50am for a morning run, then made his way quietly to the bed and hugged Yu Hao to sleep.

"Get up, Zhou Sheng." Yu Hao nudged Zhou Sheng.

Zhou Sheng woke up with a start; it was 8:10am.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Zhou Sheng complained angrily.

Yu Hao said, "You looked a little tired, so I wanted you to sleep a bit more......"

Zhou Sheng wanted to get up in the morning for a run, but he had drunk too much yesterday night, and he still had a headache today after his hangover. Yu Hao quickly said, "You won't be late, breakfast is ready......"

Zhou Sheng changed his clothes then went out quickly to grab his breakfast. He thought of something and returned to kiss Yu Hao.

"Good night." Zhou Sheng said, "Let's talk after I come back tonight, I'll definitely come home early today."

Yu Hao hadn't told him about his plans to report for work early. He chased after Zhou Sheng to tidy up his necktie and also took a picture of him, then said, "Bye, all the best for today."

After he sent Zhou Sheng off, Yu Hao locked the door and went to the library. He borrowed a lot of books on social work, interviews, and local cultural materials by reporters, as well as news articles and other such materials to study. If he was going to profess devotion to Buddha at the last minute then so be it ba, it's better than not professing any devotion at all anyway.

Zhou Sheng was busy with work at the company for the whole day. On Tuesday morning, the Major Business Department had their own internal meeting, then the department's manager sent him a project report to organize. The minutes he took for yesterday's meeting weren't detailed enough, so another assistant came over to teach him step by step, including what shouldn't be recorded just in case it could be used against them......in the afternoon, Zhou Sheng had just started on it before he had to go down for lunch. He didn't have time to sleep during lunch break either. When he rummaged through his bag, there was a bottle of coffee and a pack of hangover medication that Yu Hao had stuffed inside for him.

Zhou Sheng sent Yu Hao a WeChat message to ask if he had eaten. Yu Hao ate a sandwich in the library and chatted idly with him for awhile. In the afternoon, another round of powerpoint presentations for projects were brought around for feedback, and the feedback received was to redo the entire PPT. And next Tuesday, Zhou Sheng would be in charge of introducing the project.

Zhou Sheng, "......"

Zhou Sheng thought you guys are really treating me as Ironman right now, you're not even considering if I can really do it or not.

【I feel like they're all loafing off.】Zhou Sheng sent Yu Hao a message,【And fucking Laozi is the only one working.】

Yu Hao:【Of course they'd slack if they have the chance to; everyone's still getting their salary, so it'll be okay for them as long as they don't make any mistakes. This is your own business, you can't afford to be lazy.】
