Chapter 1217 Frank confession
Having resolved their inner conflicts, the three left the sauna. However, as soon as they stepped outside, Zhou Yiming suddenly said:
"I almost forgot something. The contract I signed with Huizi Company was mailed out today. I need to find it and get it back, or it'll be a problem!"

"No, why didn't you say so sooner!" Jia Kuan asked anxiously upon hearing this.

"They'll receive the contract tomorrow, sign it, and then all our persuasion will have been for nothing!"

"What should we do then?" Zhou Yiming asked in a panic.

Hui Zi has already spoken to Lin Hao and the others about withdrawing the investment. If the contract is still signed, who knows what kind of trouble will arise!

Seeing the anxious Zhou Yiming, Lin Hao calmly said:
"Go to the courier company that mails the contract to your company. Same-city couriers only deliver in the morning, so you can still pick it up now!"

"That's right!" Zhou Yiming realized what he meant and then happily pulled Lin Hao and Jia Kuan aside, saying:
"Come on, come with me! You think you can run away?"

Lin Hao and Jia Kuan exchanged a glance and reluctantly followed Zhou Yiming to the courier company.

After Zhou Yiming used his financial power, the staff led them to the warehouse, and then the staff addressed a pile of packages:
"I just checked, and it's not among the sorted packages. It must be one of these unsorted ones. You'll have to find it yourselves!"

"But we need to hurry and not damage other people's packages, especially the labels, or I'll lose my job!" the staff member finally couldn't help but remind him.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yiming immediately assured him, "Okay, thank you, we definitely won't do anything reckless!"

After saying that, he looked at Lin Hao and Jia Kuan, who looked utterly hopeless, and said, "What are you looking at? Go!"

"Oh my god!" Jia Kuan exclaimed with a pained expression upon seeing a huge pile of unsorted packages, "How long will it take to find all of these!"

Seeing so many packages, Zhou Yiming sighed, "Ugh, I just took a shower, and now I'm all sweaty again!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Hao said speechlessly, "Big brother, shouldn't we be the ones saying this?"

At this moment, Jia Kuan said to Lin Hao with a serious face, "Hey, we were just messengers, how did we end up following him to start working!"

Lin Hao feigned surprise and said, "Yes!"

"What's there to agree about?!" Zhou Yiming said speechlessly, seeing his good friend trying to slip away again.

"How about we bring you two gentlemen a chair to sit on? I'll find some myself here, and I'll also get some melon seeds and fruit!"

"It's not impossible!" Jia Kuan joked with a serious expression.

"Stop wasting time talking and get me to find it!" Zhou Yiming said.

"Hey~, look at that confidence!" Lin Hao joked along.
"Shameless" doesn't even begin to describe him; he's the epitome of shamelessness!

“That’s why we’re practically brothers!” Zhou Yiming retorted, dragging the two of them into the fray.

"Alright, then you go find it, the two of us will wait for you outside!" Lin Hao said with a smile, trying to scare him.

"They say there's no time, let's hurry!" Zhou Yiming said helplessly, pulling the two of them along as they searched.

"What kind of package do you have?" Jia Kuan suddenly asked as he was about to start looking.

“That’s it!” Zhou Yiming said, picking up a package and delivering it via express mail. “A contract, like this, sent by express mail!”

"It'll take forever to find that!" Lin Hao complained.

"Absolutely!" Zhou Yiming muttered to himself.

"Over the years, I've repeatedly told myself, 'Don't get involved with young girls!'"

"And now, what's going on?!" Zhou Yiming said, overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

"Seriously, the three of us have been living in the same dorm since college, and we've never been apart since graduation. Isn't that great? Why does it have to involve women?"

"Let's not discuss such profound philosophical questions today!" Lin Hao said sarcastically as he searched for the package.

"Besides, the three of us are fundamentally different. I'm divorced and single now, while Kuan'er is experiencing both torment and joy!"

"But you're different. You're a typical example of someone who gets a good deal but then complains!"

“Absolutely!” Jia Kuan chimed in.

"I'll throw a dart at you!" Zhou Yiming casually pulled out an email and threw it at Lin Hao like a dart.

Lin Hao caught the hidden weapon and glanced at it casually, saying, "Give me back the dart!"

"Kuan'er, come and see!" Lin Hao said to Jia Kuan, who was standing beside him.

"Look at this, isn't it? Silly boy, you're lucky! You've found it!"

"Found it?" Zhou Yiming put down the package he was holding and ran excitedly to Lin Hao, saying, "Let me see!"

"Give it to me, give it to me!"

"You can look, but you have to do something in return!" Lin Hao seized the opportunity to make a condition.

"Okay, treating is no problem, but give me the package first!" Zhou Yiming said, taking the package over. Sure enough, it was the contract he was looking for.

"Let's go, a Manchu Han Imperial Feast!" Zhou Yiming said, leading Lin Hao and the other man to dinner.

However, after all that trouble, Zhou Yiming took Lin Hao and Jia Kuan to a convenience store and made three bowls of instant noodles for the three of them.

However, Lin Hao and Jia Kuan did not mind. They had taken a bath and a sauna, and had not eaten anything yet. What they ate was not important; who they ate with was the most important thing.

"Alright, I'm really exhausted today!" Lin Hao said with a long sigh.

"How about we go take a shower later?" Zhou Yiming suggested with a smile.

"No, if you keep washing, you'll wash your skin raw!" Lin Hao said irritably.

"Look here, look here!" Jia Kuan, standing to the side, deliberately shook his hand to remind him.

Lin Hao understood and immediately joked, "Look, you've even given him Parkinson's from exhaustion!"

Zhou Yiming wasn't angry at all at his brother's teasing; instead, he looked at Lin Hao with gratitude.

He knew in his heart that Lin Hao had helped him resolve his inner conflict today, and even reminded him of his relationship with Jian Ai.

However, Lin Hao couldn't stand this awkwardness and refused with a look of disgust, saying, "No, don't look at me like that!"

"If you're really touched, then you should treat your girlfriend well. She's good in both personality and looks, and most importantly, she genuinely likes you. That way, we won't have wasted our time and energy on you!"

“That’s right!” Zhou Yiming smiled and said, “Gentlemen, is it alright if I kowtow to you here?”

"Sure!" Jia Kuan said without any hesitation, "Give me a kowtow!"

"I'm really not kidding!" Zhou Yiming said earnestly, "I actually feel quite guilty right now."

"When I was looking for the contract just now, I was thinking of telling you two to just stop looking and let it be sent out!"

"What's the point of sending it out? I just kept my promise. It has nothing to do with Huizi!"

"How can it not have anything to do with anyone!" Jia Kuan immediately retorted upon hearing this, "Didn't you make another deal with someone?"

"You fart!"

“You’re serious now!” Zhou Yiming looked at Lin Hao and asked, “Do you also think that what I did before was a deal?”

"Isn't that right?" Lin Hao said bluntly, showing no respect for Zhou Yiming, because that was indeed the case.

Looking at the night view outside the window, Zhou Yiming remarked with a sigh:
"I admit that I did have those thoughts at first, but later I really wanted to help Huizi!"

"Really?" Lin Hao said with a disbelieving look, "Is that what you really think?"

“That’s exactly what I think!” Zhou Yiming said firmly.

"Then why did that little girl come to us and refuse to do it no matter what?" Lin Hao raised an eyebrow and asked Zhou Yiming, who was still being stubborn.

"How would I know!" Zhou Yiming said somewhat dejectedly.

"She keeps changing her mind, I really don't know what twenty-year-old girls are thinking these days!"

"Look, they never look for the reasons within themselves, they always blame others first!" Jia Kuan said sarcastically from the side.

"Zhou Yiming, let me ask you something. You've been with us for so long, how come none of our good qualities have affected you at all?"

"You're talking about this!" Zhou Yiming said.
"Let me ask you two a question. Have you noticed that these women always want to change us?"

"That's perfectly normal!" Lin Hao said matter-of-factly.
"When two people are together, they may unintentionally change and influence each other, or be changed and influenced by others!"

"That makes so much sense!" Jia Kuan said with a face full of agreement, "My Liu Yingxia changed me so thoroughly!"

Zhou Yiming looked at Lin Hao and said, "Liu Yingxia changed Brother Kuan, Huizi wants to change me, so what about you?"

"Liu Yingxia changed Jia Kuan, Hui Zi wanted to change me, so what about Jian Ai? Is she changing you too?" Zhou Yiming asked curiously.

Lin Hao said frankly, "She tried to change me, but I don't accept PUA, so we got divorced!"

Zhou Yiming pondered for a moment before solemnly saying, "Lin Hao, this is the last time I'm asking you this seriously!"

"Are you and Jian Ai really planning to part ways? Are you really not planning to remarry?" After Zhou Yiming finished speaking, Jia Kuan also looked at Lin Hao.

Although we talked about this topic before, we had been drinking that time, so it's hard to say whether some of what we said was true or false.

No one had been drinking today, and coupled with the shock of Hui Zi's situation, Zhou Yiming had this question and wanted to verify it.

"I already said what I needed to say last time!" Lin Hao said earnestly.

“You really don’t need to dwell on this. Even though I’m divorced from Jane, we’re still classmates and friends, aren’t we?”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yiming knew that Lin Hao had made up his mind, so he didn't try to persuade him any further, as doing so would damage the brotherly relationship.

When Zhou Yiming returned home exhausted, Huizi excitedly stepped forward and said in a coquettish tone, "Uncle, why are you so late? Where did you go?"

Zhou Yiming didn't say anything, but simply waved the express mail containing the contract in his hand.

"What is this?" Huizi asked in confusion upon seeing it.

Zhou Yiming sighed inwardly, then said wearily, "I got the contract back!"

Upon hearing this, Hui Zi was overjoyed, and then happily went forward to hug Zhou Yiming, saying:
"Uncle, you're so kind!"

"You're dirty, get down!"

"It's not dirty, I'll hold it too!"

"Fine, fine!" Zhou Yiming said helplessly, "Can I change my shoes?"

"Okay!" Hui Zi obediently got off Zhou Yiming, then happily said:

"Then change your shoes, I'll go make you a midnight snack!"

"You even make late-night snacks!" Zhou Yiming asked in surprise.

"Of course!" Then, while Zhou Yiming was changing his shoes, Huizi took out a bag of frozen dumplings from the refrigerator and started boiling water to cook them.

Then I took the takeout out, heated it up, put it on a plate, and served it on the table.

As Zhou Yiming watched Huizi busy in the kitchen, his heart was unconsciously filled with love.

"Uncle, wash your hands and eat!"

"Great!" Zhou Yiming joked with a smile, "This looks like a late-night snack you bought yourself!"

"I made these dumplings myself!" Huizi said nonchalantly. "Come and have a taste!"

"Okay, I'll try these dumplings!" Zhou Yiming ate one, then said with a smile, "Not bad, they're dumplings!"

"Ugh~!" Hui Zi rolled her eyes at Zhou Yiming, then, seeing his exhausted look, asked with concern:
"Uncle, you must be tired!"

“That’s true!” Zhou Yiming said with a smile.

"We were exhausted today. Just for those two pieces of paper, the three of us were so tired that we almost lost our lives at the courier company!"

"Uncle, you've had a hard day!" Huizi said with concern.

Zhou Yiming had already eaten instant noodles at the convenience store with Lin Hao and Jia Kuan, so after taking a few bites of dumplings, he looked at Huizi and said:

"Can we talk about something?"

Seeing Hui Zi nod, Zhou Yiming then spoke earnestly:

"From now on, if you need anything again, just tell me directly, okay? Don't bother my two brothers anymore!"

"They're both quite busy, and it wouldn't be appropriate for me to take up so much of their time and energy!"

Seeing Zhou Yiming's earnest expression, Huizi directly exposed his words:

"Uncle, are you afraid your two brothers will laugh at you?"

"Huizi, I'm withdrawing this contract. Your future at the company is...!"

"Uncle, have some dumplings!" Hui Zi's expression darkened upon hearing this, for she knew what the consequences would be.

Seeing that Hui Zi remained silent, Zhou Yiming said, "Hui Zi, there's something I want to tell you, I..."

After thinking it over, Zhou Yiming decided to tell Huizi everything about himself.

Based on his past personality, he definitely wouldn't say it now, but Lin Hao said something good: the greater the gap in their status and position, the greater the pressure on Hui Zi.

He told Keiko that his painful past would help bring them closer.

Most importantly, this is also a test of his relationship with Huizi, to see if she will leave him because of his past.

Fortunately, after Zhou Yiming told Huizi everything about his situation, Huizi did not leave him. Instead, she supported him and helped him to completely break with the past.

From then on, she was no longer bound by anyone and could be her true and free self. She also fully supported Lin Hao's idea of ​​starting a business.

She even declared that even if his business failed, she would earn money to support him.
