For a week in a row, the business of Xiaogang Noodle House has not improved. With a sales volume of two hundred bowls every day, it neither loses money nor makes money.
Wang Gang was not in a hurry at all. Sometimes when there were no customers in the store, he would just play chess and drink tea to entertain himself and kill time without thinking about generating income.
He is confident in the taste of his topping noodles, not to mention he is not short of money. The purpose of opening a noodle shop is just to kill time. He really wants to make money. After a round of the stock market, he has everything.
Although the business in the store is average, Wang Gang is very concerned about the sanitary environment.
Chen Zufa is right when he says that the tables, chairs and benches in the store are greasy, which really affects the appetite.
So when he has free time, Wang Gang will take the initiative to lead the store staff to clean the place and replace the old tableware when possible, and throw it away when possible.
A week later, Zhu Zhe came to Xiaogang Noodle House again and found that the store was not completely new, but it was also much cleaner and tidier.
"Sister Zhu is here! Is it still the same bowl of Yangchun noodles?" Wang Gang saw Zhu Zhe and said with a smile.
"Yes, the same thing." Zhu Zhe nodded.
It was already past 8 o'clock in the evening, and there were almost no customers in the store. Wang Gang also asked other clerks to go home from get off work.
He personally ordered a bowl of noodles and served it to Zhu Zhe.
"Sister Zhu, you get off work so late every day, and your boyfriend doesn't pick you up?" Wang Gang sat down opposite Zhu Zhe and said naggingly.
Zhu Zhe forced a smile and said: "He was also busy with work, so I didn't let him come over."
Wang Gang saw that Zhu Zhe picked two mouthfuls of noodles and then looked like he had lost his appetite, so he couldn't help but ask:
"Does the noodles taste bad today?"
"No, the noodles are very fragrant and delicious." Zhu Zhe shook his head and said, "I have no appetite today."
Wang Gang asked curiously: "Is it because of work?"
After the two got acquainted, Zhu Zhe would often chat with Wang Gang about work-related topics.
Zhu Zhe works in the housekeeping department of a four-star hotel and is a team leader of the cleaning team. His most important task is to clean the hotel rooms. He has encountered all kinds of disgusting things. Sometimes he has no appetite. It is normal.
Zhu Zhe put down his chopsticks and said to Wang Gang, "Zu Fa wants to live with me."
Wang Gang was stunned, he did not expect that Zhu Zhe would talk to him about such a topic, which also showed that Zhu Zhe really regarded him as a good friend.
"Sister Zhu is unwilling?" Wang Gang asked.
"I don't know." Zhu Zhe said anxiously, "I might be a little scared."
Wang Gang smiled and said: "This is normal. Although you are a couple, it is difficult to get along well and live together. Anyone else would be worried."
"It's not like that." Zhu Zhe seemed to have some words that were hard to say.
Wang Gang instantly understood what Zhu Zhe was worried about?
"Sister Zhu, to what extent have you and your boyfriend developed?"
Zhu Zhe seemed a little confused about Wang Gang's hint and said: "We plan to save a down payment to buy a house."
Wang Gang was a little speechless. He probably didn't expect that the 24-year-old Zhu Zhe could be so "simple".
What he actually wanted to ask was whether Zhu Zhe had slept with her boyfriend, but given their friendship, it was indeed a bit inappropriate to ask such a question.
"I haven't heard you mention how you and your boyfriend met." Wang Gang inquired.
Zhu Zhe said with a smile: "We are from the same hometown. We went to Shanghai to work together a few years ago. Zufa did very well in studies since he was a child, and later he was admitted to university, unlike me who only took the vocational high school exam after graduation."
Wang Gang saw that Zhu Zhe was very interested in Chen Zufa's status as a college student. When he mentioned that he was admitted to college, he looked proud.
"Then you can be considered childhood sweethearts!"
"Actually, although we have known each other for many years, we started dating not long ago." Zhu Zhe explained: "Before, Zufa was focused on studying, and I had to work to earn money, so I had no time to fall in love."
Wang Gang frowned and said, "Do you have any concerns about living together?"
Zhu Zhe nodded and said: "I am unmarried and living with someone. If word spreads to the village, people will laugh at me, and it will be difficult for my sister to find a husband in the future."
Wang Gang looked understanding.
Zhu Zhe is still a bit conservative at heart, and he values his family very much, otherwise he wouldn't have paid for his younger siblings' school fees.
"Have you told your boyfriend about these concerns?" Wang Gang asked.
Zhu Zhe said distressedly: "I mentioned it, but he thought I was unfounded."
Wang Gang sneered in his heart, Chen Zufa didn't think his worries were unfounded, he was a gold bug, and if you didn't let him succeed, of course he was clamoring to live together.
"Sister Zhu, do you have concerns about living together? Do you think Chen Zufa will not marry you in the future?" Wang Gang asked again.
Zhu Zhe stopped talking and just picked up the noodles with chopsticks without eating them.
Wang Gang sighed and said, "I think you need to have a good talk with Chen Zuffa. It's not impossible to live together. Get the certificate first. As for buying a house, holding banquets, and holding ceremonies, you can take your time later."
Zhu Zhe said in surprise: "Marriage?"
Wang Gang nodded and said: "That's right! As long as you are married, you are a legitimate couple. Living together is not a problem at all, and your reputation will not be ruined.
Living together without marriage will always be a disadvantage to the woman!"
Zhu Zhe seemed to be moved by Wang Gang's words, especially the last sentence.
"Okay, I'll go back and talk to Zufa." Zhu Zhe seemed to have made up his mind, put down his chopsticks and wanted to leave.
Wang Gang reminded: "There is no rush to discuss it. You should eat the noodles first."
Zhu Zhe also laughed out loud after hearing this. Feeling that he was a little impatient, he sat down and started eating noodles.
Wang Gang continued to remind: "When you talk to Chen Zufa, try to find a public place and don't go to his house or your house."
Zhu Zhe asked in surprise: "Why?"
Wang Gang was worried that Chen Zufa's golden bug would get into his head and he would jump over the wall.
Of course, you cannot say this to Zhu Zhe.
"Find a place with a better environment, maybe Chen Zufa will propose to you?" Wang Gang said with a smile.
However, Wang Gang felt that there was a high probability that Chen Zufa would not marry Zhu Zhe.
The two have known each other for so many years. If Chen Zufa really liked Zhu Zhe and pursued him long ago, how could he wait until now?
Furthermore, Chen Zufa only mentioned cohabitation, but not marriage. Deep down, he just wanted to play with Zhu Zhe, or sleep with Zhu Zhe, rather than love Zhu Zhe.

Wang Gang understands the psychology of men very well, but it is a pity that Zhu Zhe has only been out of society for a few years and has not yet fully understood the true face of men.
Wang Gang didn't see Zhu Zhe for the next few days, until one day, Chen Zufa came to the noodle shop angrily and shouted to see Wang Gang when he entered.
"Where is your boss? Let him come out to see me." Chen Zufa shouted to the cashier Du Xiaojia as soon as he entered the store.
Du Xiaojia stopped Chen Zufa and said, "Guests, please don't enter the kitchen without permission."
Just when Wang Gang heard the sound and came out of the kitchen, Chen Zufa suddenly felt energetic.
"Did you convince Zhu Zhe to break up with me?" Chen Zufa pushed Du Xiaojia away and ran towards Wang Gang.
Wang Gang had quick eyesight and quick hands. He stepped forward to catch Du Xiaojia and prevented her from falling. Then he was inevitably punched in the face by Chen Zufa.
"Ouch!"
It was not Wang Gang who cried out in pain, but Chen Zufa who was beating the man.
With Wang Gang's strength, how could he be hit by Chen Zufa? Before his fist could reach him, Wang Gang took the initiative and gave him a headbutt.
Chen Zufa took a few steps back and sat down on the ground.
"Hitting someone! Someone is beating someone!"
Wang Gang's attack was not serious, and Chen Zufa was not seriously injured, but he sat on the ground and screamed, scaring away several noodle diners.
Du Xiaojia exclaimed: "You haven't paid me yet!"
Wang Gang grabbed Du Xiaojia, shook his head and said, "Forget it, don't chase her."
After all the customers in the store were scared away, Chen Zufa stood up, covered his wrist and said: "You robbed my girlfriend and you dared to hit her. I want to call the police."
Wang Gang sneered and said, "I want to see what you can say when the police come."
Wang Gang pointed to the surveillance probe in the corner of the ceiling.
Only then did Chen Zufa discover that the small noodle shop had installed surveillance cameras, and his attitude immediately softened.
At this time, Zhu Zhe also ran into the noodle shop, and when he saw Chen Zufa, he quickly grabbed him.
"I have told you many times that my breakup with you has nothing to do with Xiao Gang!" Zhu Zhe thought that Chen Zufa would hurt Wang Gang, so he deliberately stood in front of Wang Gang.
"If it weren't for him, you would break up with me!" Chen Zufa didn't believe it.
"I broke up with you because you didn't want to marry me at all!" Zhu Zhe raised his neck and said angrily: "You don't want to get married, but you still want to live with me. What are you thinking about? Do you really think I don't know?
"
As soon as Zhu Zhe said this, everyone in the store looked at Chen Zufa with contempt, which made him unable to get off the stage.
Wang Gang almost figured out what happened at this time!
Zhu Zhe must have discussed the topic of marriage with Chen Zufa, but Chen Zufa never agreed and wanted to delay it. Zhu Zhe was disappointed and finally saw the true face of his boyfriend.
Fortunately, Zhu Zhe is a sensible woman, so she noticed something was wrong and immediately broke up with her.
Zhu Zhe must have mentioned Wang Gang accidentally, so Chen Zufa thought it was Wang Gang who was causing trouble, so he came to settle the score.
