The Way of Heaven Rewards Diligence in Film and Television

After finishing their late-night snack, Lin Yang was about to clear the dishes and head to the kitchen when Gao Lan immediately said, "Let me do it!"

Lin Yang didn't try to take it from her, but instead went into the kitchen and said, "If you're cooking, you can use the kitchen utensils, bowls, chopsticks, etc. as long as you wash and put them away properly afterward."

"Also, I've cleared out some space in the refrigerator for you, so you can put whatever you want in there," Lin Yang continued.

"There are two bathrooms in the house. I'll use the one in the master bedroom, and the shared bathroom will be your private bathroom from now on."

"Great! This place is much better than where I lived before. As for the rent..." Gao Lan nodded and asked.

"Three thousand, I guess! We'll sign a lease agreement later, no deposit needed, just pay monthly!" Lin Yang said casually.

For him, the monthly rent was negligible.

Gao Lan nodded happily. Lin Yang's house had a decent second bedroom with a small balcony, and the rent of 3,000 for such a house was very cheap.

The key point is that living here is close to the company, making commuting so convenient. It saves me at least two or three hours of time going to and from get off work every day.

After moving in, Gao Lan worked noticeably harder at the company, and even volunteered to work overtime.

Therefore, she eats all three meals a day outside or at the company, and only eats a little bit of late-night snack when Lin Yang invites her and she can't refuse his hospitality.

But the next day, she would always take the initiative to cook or order food to reciprocate Lin Yang's hospitality.

It was Saturday again. Gao Lan received a message from Lin Yang, informing her that he was going to have dinner with clients that evening. Seeing Lin Yang come out of the office, Gao Lan quickly got up to greet him, saying, "Director, let me go with you!"

"I'm going to dinner with clients, and we'll be drinking tonight," Lin Yang reminded him.

"It's okay, I can hold my liquor pretty well, I can help you fend off some drinks later," Gao Lan said.

"Alright!" Lin Yang nodded slightly and left the company with Gao Lan.

He could tell that Gao Lan had been very motivated lately. Perhaps she had broken up with her boyfriend and realized that she couldn't rely on anyone but herself, so she started working hard. Or maybe she was trying to numb herself with work!

In the parking lot, Lin Yang led Gao Lan into the blue BMW that he rarely drove, and drove to the place where they had arranged to meet the client.

His father in this world originally owned a Mercedes, but it was completely totaled in a crash.

The blue BMW that he bought last year was originally his mother's car, but it was registered in his name, which saved him the trouble of transferring ownership.

As night fell, in a private room of a restaurant, after several rounds of drinks and dishes, a middle-aged man wearing glasses took the initiative to drink with Gao Lan.

Lin Yang was about to drink for her, but Gao Lan smiled and said, "It's alright, Director Lin, I'll have a couple of drinks with President Yun."

Gao Lan's alcohol tolerance was indeed quite good. After drinking to a considerable extent and discussing the cooperation to a near-complete conclusion, Gao Lan excused herself and went to the restroom.

"Alright, that's enough for tonight! Director Lin, we'll contact each other later," said President Yun with a smile as he stood up, patting Lin's shoulder meaningfully, "Brother Lin, you're very lucky to have such a capable and beautiful subordinate by your side!"

Lin Yang, who had politely seen President Yun and the others out with a smile, noticed that Gao Lan hadn't returned yet, so he hurried to the restroom to look for her.

"Hey beautiful, why are you in such a hurry? Let's chat!" A middle-aged man in a black suit with a large belly stopped Gao Lan, who looked slightly tipsy and had a flushed face.

As he was about to reach out to pull Gao Lan's large belly, Lin Yang grabbed his arm, causing him to cry out in pain, "Ouch, you... let go, let go of me!"

"Get out!" Lin Yang suddenly exerted force, and the middle-aged man with a big belly staggered backward and fell on his buttocks on the floor of the corridor outside the restroom.

Having scrambled to his feet in a disheveled state, he sobered up considerably under Lin Yang's sharp gaze and didn't dare say anything more before slinking away in a hurry.

Gao Lan, whose beautiful eyes lit up as she looked at Lin Yang, also leaned against the sink as if she were about to lose her balance.

"Why did you have to drink so much? What were you trying to prove?" Lin Yang said, helping her out of the restaurant.

Since they had all been drinking, they naturally couldn't drive, so Lin Yang simply called a designated driver.

On the way back, Gao Lan, who was sitting in the back, leaned against Lin Yang almost the entire time.

Her body was very soft, as if boneless, yet she used Lin Yang as a pillow, eventually falling asleep in his arms.

After parking the car in the underground garage of the residential complex and the designated driver left, Lin Yang carried Gao Lan home.

Fortunately, after a period of training, Lin Yang is now in good physical condition and is able to carry Gao Lan, who is fleshy and heavy.

Back home, after placing Gao Lan on the sofa, Lin Yang found the key to the second bedroom in her bag and opened the door.

Lin Yang carried Gao Lan into the room, and just as he put her down and was about to take off her shoes and cover her with a blanket, she suddenly hugged him.

Caught off guard, Lin Yang was pulled down onto Gao Lan's body. Facing Gao Lan, whose eyes were half-closed in a drunken haze and whose red lips were slightly parted as if to kiss him, he quickly turned his head and gently pulled his hands away.

Seeing that Gao Lan was asleep with her eyes closed, Lin Yang helped her take off her shoes, covered her with a quilt, fetched some warm water for her, wiped her face and hands with a washcloth, tucked her in, and then left the second bedroom, gently closing the door behind him.

As the door closed, Gao Lan opened her eyes, her face burning hot. She rolled over, clamped the blanket between her legs, and buried her face in the covers.

"Hmm? Was she pretending to be asleep just now?" In the living room outside, Lin Yang raised an eyebrow and wondered to himself as he looked at the progress bar that had suddenly advanced a lot.

Back in the master bedroom, Lin Yang couldn't sleep because he kept thinking about Gao Lan's slightly tipsy appearance and soft body. He did more than two hundred push-ups in one go, worked up a sweat, took a shower, and then slowly fell asleep in bed.

Lin Yang woke up early, went for a run, made breakfast and ate it. He found that Gao Lan hadn't gotten up yet, so he left breakfast for her. He went out for a walk and then went into a coffee shop and ordered a coffee.

As Lin Yang sipped his coffee, casually watching the traffic and pedestrians outside the window and enjoying the moment of tranquility, a slightly familiar voice suddenly rang out: "Is that you?"

Turning his head, Lin Yang was somewhat surprised to see the tall woman he had accidentally bumped into a few days ago standing to the side with a frown.

To Lin Yang's even greater surprise, she immediately sat down opposite him.

Lin Yang looked around; there were still quite a few empty seats in the coffee shop! What's going on? Did she like this spot?

"Let's get straight to the point! My name is Hu Haili, I'm 31 years old, a human resources director, and my salary is less than 20,000 yuan. I don't own a house or a car in Beijing..." Hu Haili said directly to Lin Yang.

Lin Yang was taken aback. What did that mean? A blind date?

However, under her direct gaze, Lin Yang could only cough lightly and say, "Lin Yang, 28 years old, Marketing Planning Director, salary... around 30,000, Beijing hukou, owns an apartment in Beijing, over 130 square meters, and a BMW worth several hundred thousand."

"Twenty-eight? Director? Beijing hukou? Owns a house and a car?" Hu Haili looked at Lin Yang with surprise and confusion, then exclaimed, "Your surname isn't Zhong?"

"My surname is Lin, I already told you, Lin Yang," Lin Yang said, indicating that he roughly understood what was going on.

Lin Yang used to think that mistaking someone else for someone else on a blind date only happened in novels and TV dramas, but he never expected that it would actually happen to him.

Hu Haili felt awkward, and at the same time noticed a somewhat thin man wearing glasses sitting in the window seat next to her.

Seeing that the other person looked somewhat greasy and haggard, and was even looking at her, Hu Haili quickly looked away and turned her head away as if she wanted to find a place to disappear.
