A single man checks into a couples' room; his life of ease and comfort begins.

"Have you heard? The new guy, Hao Qiangzhuang from room 201, has only been working for a little over a month, and he's already been spotted by Manager Liu from the HR department and transferred to be the security team leader."

"I really envy him. He's 1.85 meters tall and incredibly strong. If you put him in our factory, I doubt anyone could beat him in a one-on-one fight."

"What's this? I heard that guy's already hooking up with Manager Liu."

"I have to say, Hao Qiangzhuang is a very good licking dog. He's really become the king of licking people now."

"Haha, keep your voice down, don't let him hear you."

"So what if I heard you? Are you going to fire me?"

Two unfamiliar colleagues were discussing Hao Qiangzhuang's situation.

Wang Qian followed behind them with her head down and her face flushed.

Back in dormitory 201, the moment Wang Qian pushed open the door, she saw a small table and two stools in front of her bed. On the table were five dishes and a rice cooker.

A roast duck, a stir-fried beef with yellow peppers, a plate of peanuts, braised carp, and stir-fried pork intestines.

Hao Qiangzhuang was cooking on the balcony when Wang Qian hurriedly closed the door, walked over to the balcony, and said with a smile, "Captain Hao, you set up a stove on our dormitory balcony back then, didn't you?"

Hao Qiangzhuang had just finished cooking the stir-fried pork with dried tofu in the pot, turned off the gas, and said while washing the pot, "I just had the plumber help me set it up today. He bought a gas stove and a gas gas cylinder, and he also bought bowls and chopsticks. Starting today, you don't need to eat at the cafeteria anymore."

Hao Qiangzhuang washed the pot and carried out the last plate of stir-fried dried tofu with pork. Wang Qian stepped aside to make way for him and followed behind.

After the two sat down, Hao Qiangzhuang took out a bucket of medicinal wine from under the bed, poured two cups, and placed one cup in front of Wang Qian.

Wang Qian looked at the deep red liquor, involuntarily taking a step back, staring at Hao Qiangzhuang with utter astonishment, and asked incredulously, "You want me to drink?"

Hao Qiangzhuang took a sip of wine, picked up a piece of fatty intestine, and chewed it: "What? Aren't you going to drink?"

Wang Qian lowered her voice, afraid of being overheard by the neighbors: "It's not that I don't want to drink, it's that I'm afraid to. What if I get drunk and cause trouble, and people find out who I am? Will I still be able to work here?"

Hao Qiangzhuang reached out and touched Wang Qian's buzz cut. Wang Qian froze, then asked in confusion, "Why are you touching my head?"

Hao Qiangzhuang withdrew his hand, drank the medicinal wine in one gulp, and felt a warm sensation in his lower abdomen. He thought that since Wang Qian wasn't going to drink it, he couldn't waste it. This wine was the chairman's treasured aphrodisiac wine, and Liu Mengsi had filled a third of it to nourish herself.

Seeing Hao Qiang drink his fill and barely eat anything, Wang Qian said with some concern, "You don't drink much, can you drink a little less?"

Hao Qiangzhuang was a little drunk at this point. He picked up a roast duck leg, took a bite, and said, "Manager Liu from the HR department told me to drink this wine to practice my drinking capacity."

Seeing that Hao Qiangzhuang wouldn't listen to her advice, Wang Qian tried to find another topic: "Are you working overtime tonight?"

Hao Qiangzhuang shook his head and said with a smile, "Now your man, I get a monthly salary of three thousand five hundred."

Back in 2001, 3,500 was a high salary. When Wang Qian heard Hao Qiangzhuang talk about his salary, her face was full of shock and disbelief.

Without realizing it, she recalled overhearing people talking about Hao Qiangzhuang on the street, and couldn't help but ask, "I heard people saying that you and Manager Liu slept together, is that true?"

"Who cares if it's real or fake?" Hao Qiangzhuang put a duck leg in Wang Qian's bowl and said in a low voice, "As long as the salary is high, that's all that matters."

Wang Qian felt a little scared, fearing that Hao Qiangzhuang would dump her after getting together with Liu Mengsi.

She couldn't help but say, "What if she wants you to marry her? What will you do then? What will I do?"

Liu Mengsi has been a career woman for many years, living a carefree and wild life, unlike Wang Qian, whose first man was Hao Qiangzhuang.

After she finished speaking, her face was flushed, her eyes were red, and tears were welling up in her eyes. She stared intently at Hao Qiangzhuang, as if asking him for the truth: how should she arrange her life?

Hao Qiangqiang took a big gulp of wine, looked at Wang Qian, and said, "Since you're so afraid, let's both quit our jobs tomorrow, go home, get our household registration books, go back to farming, have children, and never come out again."

Wang Qian's face turned pale instantly. She lowered her head abruptly, reached for the empty glass, and said, "Pour me a glass too, a full one."

With Hao Qiangzhuang's words, her anxiety subsided. After Hao Qiangzhuang filled her glass, she raised it and downed it in one gulp.

The two ate, drank, and chatted until they glanced at their alarm clocks and realized it was already seven o'clock.

Hao Qiangzhuang couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you working overtime today?"

Wang Qian nodded, her face flushed from the alcohol, as red as a small apple, and said, "My job is very easy; I probably won't have any overtime for the next two weeks."

Back then, people relied on overtime pay to get a job. Without overtime pay, you only received a basic salary, so what kind of work was that?

Hao Qiangzhuang thought for a moment, and then Wang Qian served him a bowl of rice and placed it in front of him.

Hao Qiangzhuang picked up his rice bowl, added some vegetables, and started eating. After finishing the bowl, he said, "If you don't want to work overtime, then you don't have to. Your salary is low, but mine is high. If your family needs money urgently, I'll share some with you."

But at this moment, Wang Qian felt a little flustered. She looked at Hao Qiangzhuang, feeling guilty, but she didn't dare to say it because she was an unregistered resident and it would probably be difficult for her to get married.

Because the food was good today, the two of them finished the dishes. Afterwards, Wang Qian washed the dishes, took a shower, walked to the bed, sat down, and dried her short hair with a towel.

Hao Qiangzhuang slowly raised his head and immediately saw Wang Qian's large breasts. He felt a surge of heat in his heart and sat up, his hands restlessly reaching towards Wang Qian's body.

Being together was very stifling for the two of them, because to outsiders, Wang Qian was a man, so she never dared to speak loudly when doing anything, for fear of being discovered.

Hao Qiangzhuang was very upset that a perfectly good couple was acting like they were having an affair, but when he thought about Wang Qian's hardships, he endured it.

Afterwards, the two huddled in bed. Wang Qian leaned close to Hao Qiangzhuang's ear and whispered, "It's okay now that it's winter, but what will I do when it gets hot?"

Upon hearing this, Hao Qiang subconsciously lifted the blanket slightly and, using the faint light shining in from the balcony, glanced at Wang Qian's pair of weapons under the blanket, feeling a sense of bewilderment.

If it's hot and someone is wearing too little clothing, anyone with eyes can tell.

In the end, we can't just say that Wang Qian has well-developed pectoral muscles or that she has excessive estrogen, can we?
