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

Chapter 441 What, do you think you have a good temper?

"Ah... I... where am I interning...?"

Zhou Heng was stunned for a moment. He hadn't said much to Li Ke at the time, and she didn't know where he was interning either. They hadn't seen each other since.

I didn't wear my employee badge or anything today, since I wasn't here to work.

So for a moment he didn't know how to answer. Did he still need to pretend? Or was it unnecessary?

Zhou Heng pointed upstairs and said, "I'm interning with... the president. I'm the president's assistant."

"!!"

Upon hearing this, Li Ke's eyes widened instantly, and she froze on the spot, her mouth slightly open, unable to utter a single word...

She had only met Zhou Heng once, a fleeting encounter, but because Zhou Heng was someone special at the time, she remembered him vividly.

She had considered that Zhou Heng was special, but she hadn't expected him to be this special. Who could start their internship at Junheng as the president's assistant?

This person must be someone important, right? But Junheng explicitly forbids using back channels.

Li Ke lowered his voice and whispered in Zhou Heng's ear:

"Um... how did you do that?"

She was too embarrassed to directly ask if he had used connections, so she could only inquire in this way. She could already vaguely sense that Zhou Heng's identity was not simple...

I used to think he had a close relationship with Yu Yinghai, but now that Yu Yinghai is gone, the political parties associated with him have been almost entirely purged.

The fact that Zhou Heng is still standing here unharmed, and even as the president's assistant, proves that the person behind him is definitely not Yu Yinghai.

"I...I didn't do much. My dad told me to. He's the chairman, so he makes the decisions."

"Chairman...oh...Chairman...no wonder..."

Now that things have come to this, Li Ke can accept this answer and won't be so surprised. She feels that this explanation makes sense.

To be able to openly and legitimately use connections to directly obtain the position of president's assistant, no one but the chairman and president himself could do that.

"I apologize if my attitude was poor before, please forgive me..."

Li Ke apologized softly. Although she hadn't done anything wrong, she still had to be humble and subservient in front of such an important person.

Despite knowing Zhou Heng's identity, she didn't sense any arrogance or haughtiness from him that came with his high position.

I felt like he was just an ordinary colleague, there was no sense of distance between us.

"Why are you apologizing? I don't know many people here. You're someone I know, so you don't need to be so polite with me."

Zhou Heng's tone was calm, but his kindness was palpable. Hearing this, Li Ke's tense mood immediately relaxed.

She could sense that Zhou Heng was genuinely approachable.

The two chatted for a while longer. The elevator Zhou Heng was waiting for was about to arrive, and Li Ke, increasingly animated in her conversation, covered her mouth and asked with a smile:

"Someone like you must have a lot of girls chasing after you, right? Are you all struggling to choose who to date?"

Zhou Heng stepped into the elevator, looked at Li Ke outside with a faint smile, and said:

"I'm a father now."

"Uh?"

Li Ke's smile froze as she watched the elevator doors close and Zhou Heng ride up. Li Ke remained stunned for a long time...

She remembered that Zhou Heng was only a year or two younger than her...

She doesn't even have a boyfriend yet, and Zhou Heng already...has a child?

Zhou Heng went to the top floor, to his father's office, knocked on the door, and went inside. He found his father on the phone.

Zhou Heng didn't disturb him. He went inside, sat on the sofa, poured himself a cup of tea, and waited for him.

The phone call seemed to be a congratulatory message, probably related to today's full moon celebration. Zhou Junyao kept smiling and saying how polite the other party was, as if he were chatting with a very good old friend.

After more than ten minutes, Zhou Junyao hung up the phone and looked at Zhou Heng.

"Why didn't you bring my grandson over?"

Zhou Heng crossed his legs and said with a smile, "Your grandson is sleeping. Haven't you seen the temper of that child? If he's woken up, no one but his mother can soothe him. Once he starts crying, he won't stop."

Zhou Junyao simply didn't have much time, so he only visited the child once. That visit gave him a real taste of how bad the child's temper could be.

She wouldn't let anyone touch her and would cry endlessly. Even Zhou Heng's attempts to comfort her were useless; only Yin Mengran could soothe her.

"Hmm, this kid will be quite a handful when he grows up. Nobody can control him, and he'll probably get into a lot of trouble for you. You'd better be prepared."

As Zhou Junyao said this, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he crossed his arms, looking very happy.

Zhou Heng said with some distress, "Who knows... His mother is so gentle and has such a good temper, who does this child take after?"

For a moment, the atmosphere became quiet. Zhou Heng looked up, staring blankly at his father, and blinked.

The two looked at each other for a moment, then Zhou Heng pointed to himself, frowned slightly, and asked:

"Like me? Do I have a bad temper?"

"What, do you think you have a good temper?"

"I feel...okay?"

Zhou Heng scratched his head awkwardly. He felt pretty good about himself, and his temper... well, it was just so-so.

But since Yin Mengran is definitely the one with the best temper, then it proves that if the child has a bad temper, it's your own fault...

Is my temper really that bad? Or have I been giving all my good temper to Yin Mengran? Is that why I haven't realized this problem?

"You absolutely must educate this child well. With this kind of personality, if he's raised properly, he can achieve great things; otherwise, he'll cause a major disaster."

"Well, okay, I see."

Zhou Heng nodded. He knew that children's education was a major issue. He remembered that when he was a child, even though his parents were extremely busy and he rarely saw them...

But he was also well-educated, and he hardly went through a rebellious phase. He understands all the principles he should know, and his thoughts and mindset are also very good.

Zhou Heng stood up, a question popping into his head. He asked, "Dad, I didn't invite my friends to the baby's one-month celebration. Have you made arrangements for the attendees?"

Zhou Junyao nodded and said softly:

"Yes, today is ostensibly a full moon celebration, but it's actually a business gathering. All the important people in Dongzhu will be attending. It's also an opportunity for those guys to get to know you, so you absolutely mustn't let me down."
