All I can do is silently apologize to the diners who are unaware of the situation.

A new customer who had just bought breakfast entered the building's elevator. He had bought crab roe soup dumplings and rice noodle rolls, and the people in the enclosed elevator were forced to smell the aroma.

While the elevator was in motion, a girl standing next to him couldn't help but point to the bag he was carrying and politely inquired:

"Brother, where did you buy this breakfast? It smells so good!"

The other people in the elevator also perked up their ears to listen attentively. The man being asked was taken aback, but when he saw that it was a round-faced little girl asking him the question, he gave her a憨憨 (simple and honest) smile.

"You mean this? It's a new shop nearby called Tao Ji Breakfast. They're having a grand opening today with a 20% discount, but they close at noon. I couldn't resist the aroma and went to try it. If you want to buy some, you should go earlier."

After he finished speaking, the elevator arrived at her floor, and the round-faced girl waved to him gratefully.

"Thank you so much, brother! I'll be there in a bit!"

"Hehe, it's nothing, it's nothing!"

Inside the elevator, acquaintances exchanged glances: "[Want to go?]"

Of course! Go go go!

What puzzled the older brother was that no one got off the elevator despite the doors opening and closing halfway to his floor. As soon as he left, someone pressed the button for the first floor, and the people inside looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

[We're all like-minded people!]

This scene occurred in several apartment buildings in the community.

Before 10 a.m., a queue had already formed in front of the breakfast shop. Even customers who had already eaten breakfast wanted to take something with them so as not to have made a wasted trip!

Today was beyond Tao Zhizhi's expectations. She thought that the breakfast shop would only see a big surge in business on Monday when students went to school. Looking at the data on the panel, she was extremely excited.

[Accelerate Task 1: Order 755/5000 new customers early in the morning.]

"What is Zhizhi looking at? She seems so happy."

Fu Jue wiped his hands clean, stepped over the stool behind her, and sat down next to her.

"Of course I'm happy that breakfast shops are so popular!"

Tao Zhizhi grinned as she showed Fu Jue her daily income, which was only on her phone; the cash given by the elderly hadn't been counted yet.

"I have another message for you, would you like to hear it?"

"What?"

Speaking of which, after Tao Zhizhi went to see the house last time, she told Fu Jue about her ideas for decorating it, and Fu Jue privately found a designer to follow her ideas.

"Wow! When did you find this? This panoramic view is so beautiful, it's exactly what I imagined, and there are even little toys on the sofa."

"This e-sports room is so cool, I love it!"

Tao Zhizhi took the tablet he handed her and looked at it with great interest, then immediately made a decision:

"Fu Jue, I want this renovation!"

She threw herself into his arms: "How did you know what I wanted?!"

Afraid she would fall, Fu Jue quickly reached out and put his arm around her waist, gently catching her as she sat on his lap.

"Well, my uncle and aunt told me."

? ? ?

Tao Zhizhi suddenly looked at him: "When did you meet my parents?!"

——

During the three days that Tao Zhizhi focused on renovating the breakfast shop, Tao's father secretly sent a message to Fu Jue:

[Tao Family Daddy: Fu Family Kid, have time for a casual meal?]

Fu Jue suddenly received this message. He was still in a meeting. He glanced at his phone and froze.

He replied to his uncle very quickly:

Fu Jue: I'm free, Uncle.

[Tao's father: Come to our house tomorrow.]

Fu Jue's heart was in his throat. After the meeting, he didn't give Qin Huaijin a chance to refuse and pulled him to his office to learn from him.

"You mean the elderly couple invited you to dinner alone without telling your girlfriend?"

Qin Huaijin crossed his legs, sipped his tea casually, and gave him a mocking look.

Have you been asking her out a lot lately?

Fu Jue nodded.

Qin Huaijin raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips, and said teasingly:

"If I remember correctly, your girlfriend is an only child. This is a trap."

Fu Jueguang heard his question, but offered no solution. He gave him an unpleasant glare, his tone cold:

"How do we solve this?"

"Oh--"

"Since you're already here, make the best of it. They probably just wanted to chat and find out about their future son-in-law."

Fu Jue frowned, then remembered that Qin Huaijin's marriage to Shu Nian was an arranged marriage, a marriage of convenience that blossomed into love, so he didn't have this problem at all. After sending him away, Fu Jue immediately asked Secretary Gu to buy him a gift.

The next morning

Fu Jue sat upright opposite Tao's parents, his expression gentle, and said softly:

"Uncle and Aunt, this is a small token of my appreciation."

Tao's mother spoke, setting the tone with a serious expression:

“Last time, Zhizhi told us that your family is so different from ours.”

Fu Jue's face stiffened, thinking the two were going to break him up with Zhizhi, and he was about to explain:

"Aunt--"

Tao's mother reached out to stop him from saying anything:

"We're not here to break up with you, we just want to have a chat."

He breathed a sigh of relief, his expression softening:

"Please speak, Auntie. I will answer whatever I know."

"You want to marry my Zhizhi?"

Tao's mother accidentally saw Tao Zhizhi's uncollected house purchase contract at home. Seeing the large apartment in Jianan Community, she remembered the price there. Zhizhi's profit margin, which she had shown them last time, was not enough to buy it so quickly. Therefore, they assumed that Fu Jue had bought it for her, which led to this meeting.

Fu Jue was extremely serious, facing Tao's mother's sharp gaze directly, his tone earnest:

"Yes, I dated Zhizhi with the intention of marrying her."

Tao's mother told Fu Jue what she had seen. Although their savings over the years were only enough to pay half of the house price, they were not afraid at all and demanded that he give her the money.

Since this house is in Zhizhi's hands, it should be entirely her premarital property. If he wants to take it back in the future, what will Zhizhi do?

Fu Jue waved his hand and smiled gently:

"Uncle and Aunt, you've misunderstood. Zhizhi bought this herself."

Tao's parents looked at each other with doubt. Fu Jue saw that the two of them did not know about the house purchase and was afraid of ruining Tao Zhizhi's plan to prepare a surprise for her parents.

"Zhizhi's shop is very popular, especially after the live stream. It's more than enough to buy this house."

The two breathed a sigh of relief, but Tao's father still disapproved of Fu Jue. The young couple spent every day together, and he was afraid that his daughter, who had little experience, would be completely infatuated with him.

The three chatted for an afternoon, and Tao's mother was quite satisfied with Fu Jue, whose speech and manners were among the best she had ever met.

She felt that no man in her social circle could provide Zhizhi with such good conditions. Although Tao's father was dissatisfied, he did not make things difficult for Fu Jue.

Fu Jue thus learned many of Tao Zhizhi's preferences, which led to the existence of that design drawing.

——

"Did they say anything else?"

Fu Jue's ears turned slightly red, he swallowed, and said in a slightly hoarse voice:

"Yes, they told me not to bully you, but how could I bear to?"

"I knew it! I won't let you bully me."

Tao Zhizhi pointed to the planned study, her eyes crinkling with a smile:

"You can work here from now on, and I'll count money on the bay window. Just thinking about it is wonderful."
