Daily synopsis: My superpowers are updated every season.

Chapter 1328 Lu Tao is also cured and is living the good life that Shi Xiaomeng is living!
The reason why Manager Lu Tao valued him so much, even at the cost of losing two talented individuals and making no attempt to retain him, was not because of Lu Tao's 'extraordinary talent,' but because of the vast resources and projects of President Dao, Lu Tao's father.

Now that Lu Tao has made such a firm statement, he is absolutely unwilling to take on any more major projects.

When Lu Tao contacted the CEO of Yuanda Badao, the CEO didn't offer any benefits or support. It seemed that the CEO was eager for his son to be fired so that his son could return to his side.

It's just that it's not appropriate for the father to say anything, so as not to affect the father-son relationship.

The manager realized what was going on, but didn't dare fire Lu Tao immediately, because firing him directly would offend Yuanda and affect Yuanda's future.

It's not worth it for someone who gets a salary.

So they arranged for Lu Tao to do the work that a newcomer like him should be doing, which was to follow his seniors as an assistant and do odd jobs.

But Lu Tao was always ambitious but lacked practical skills and disdained doing this kind of work. Having already handled the Youth Home project, he couldn't stand this.

After failing to reach an agreement, the manager had no choice but to go along with it, let him go, and free him up.

Lu Tao was extremely confident. He figured if this place didn't want him, there would be other places that would. He readily agreed, turned around and left without looking back.

He refused to believe it. With his extraordinary talent, he couldn't possibly find someone who appreciated his true abilities, rather than having a powerful CEO as his father.

This search brought back painful memories of not being able to find a job in the past, and as time went on, I became more and more frustrated.

And it's even harder and more painful than before.

such as.

The doorbell rang at that moment.

Seeing that Xia Lin was in the bathroom, Lu Tao had no choice but to get up and open the door. As soon as he opened it, his heart skipped a beat. He looked at the middle-aged woman who stepped in, her eyes glancing sideways, her face full of arrogance and scrutiny. He forced a smile and greeted her, "Big sister!"

"Isn't it time to pay the rent today?" The landlady didn't even look at him, strode inside, and scolded him rudely.

"You've dragged this out for several days now, what's wrong with you?"

"I was originally thinking of coming to you to pay the rent..." Lu Tao was embarrassed and wanted to find an excuse, but his pride wouldn't allow it. After all, this was the middle-aged woman with dead fish eyes that Jia Baoyu described, not a young and beautiful girl like Xia Lin.

"Okay, sister, I'll give you one piece next month!"

"You can't even come up with an excuse. Are you taking advantage of the fact that I just took over this apartment, or do you think I'm inexperienced as a landlord and won't dare to do anything to you?" the middle-aged woman sneered.

"Let me tell you, I own quite a few properties. I'm an old landlord! I've seen plenty of people who are behind on rent, but at least they always come up with some excuses. This month they're either injured saving someone or they lost their phone next month. They said the rent was used to buy a new phone and asked me to give them a break."

But you, you won't even give a reason, or make up an excuse!
You don't look like one of those stinky out-of-towners begging for food!

Why is there still a delay in paying rent?
How did you manage to get by?

"What's wrong?" Xia Lin came out of the bathroom and asked what was going on, but Lu Tao waved his hand and said it was nothing. He was a real man, a true man of Beijing, and he could handle this kind of thing.

"Sister, you definitely won't be short of money. I'm just really a little short on cash! Please be more polite. It's only a few thousand yuan, right?"

"Oh my!" The middle-aged woman immediately looked Xia Lin up and down as soon as she came out, her eyes full of undisguised malicious speculation. When she heard Lu Tao say that, she sneered and looked at Lu Tao, who wanted to show off his masculinity in front of the pretty girl.

"You make it sound so easy! It's just a few thousand dollars, right? Yeah, just a few thousand dollars! Where's the money? You need to have a few hundred dollars right now!"
Don't pretend I don't know!

You stay cooped up in your house all day; you don't look like someone with a proper job at all!
It's only a few thousand yuan!

do you have?
Take it out!

Let me tell you, if you don't have money, move out now. If you move out in the morning, someone will move in this afternoon!

Their rent is even higher than yours!

This place is in high demand!

"You're not some nobody from out of town. If you're not capable, go back home and live there. Try to rent a place like other people do. Do you even have the ability?"

"Who are you calling incompetent?!" Lu Tao was furious and was about to step forward when Xia Lin held him back tightly.

"Sister, we're all from Beijing, don't talk like that!" Xia Lin said, pulling her boyfriend back to calm him down while looking at the middle-aged woman.

"I'll pay whatever it costs!"

"6000 a quarter!" The middle-aged woman glanced at Xia Lin sideways.

"I'll transfer it to you via WeChat." Xia Lin took out her phone to transfer the money to the middle-aged woman.

"That's more like human language." The middle-aged woman took the money first, then turned hostile, saying, "Lu Tao, how many people live in this house? I've registered them according to regulations! I'll be responsible if anything happens! You young people are completely lawless these days, causing all this chaos!"

"What are you saying?" Lu Tao was about to explode, but his girlfriend held him back and kept giving him meaningful glances. Considering his recent insistence, he decided to back down and turned his back to avoid looking at the infuriating old woman. However, upon hearing the old woman's words before she left, he could no longer hold back, stopped her, and glared angrily at the middle-aged woman.

"What do you mean by 'messing around'? This is my girlfriend! We're getting married soon! What's wrong with us living here? Here's the money, so shut up! I won't let you talk to us like that!"

"I'm warning you!" The middle-aged woman retorted, ignoring his words. "The house was spotless when I rented it to you. If you're planning to do something shady behind my back, get out of here right now!"

When he mentioned his shady dealings, he even glanced at Charlene.

Not to mention Lu Tao, even Xia Lin was so angry that her liver hurt.

no way!
Her relationship with Lu Tao was indeed shady from the start, and it was here that they made their love affair. They were even caught by Mi Lai outside the door, who discovered their affair.

The middle-aged woman, the new landlady, actually said that, which directly hit them where it hurt.

If you heard it from a previous landlord or a neighbor, then it's understandable to suspect them like this.

If she knew nothing beforehand and only judged them by their faces and demeanor, then daring to say such things to them would be too disheartening for them.

"Say that again and see! Believe me or not, I'll slap you!" Lu Tao grew angrier the more he thought about it, and really wanted to slap the foul-mouthed middle-aged woman in front of him, but Xia Lin held him back tightly once again.

However, he overestimated himself and underestimated the middle-aged woman's extensive experience. The woman then leaned forward, striking a pose like Niu Er from the Water Margin, pointing at her own face and yelling, "Slap, slap, slap me, go ahead and slap me!"

Lu Tao: "..."

Why is this person like this?

"Lu Tao, forget it, don't argue with her," Xia Lin said again, trying to smooth things over and giving him a way out.

"Who's arguing with her? Can you even speak human language?" Lu Tao was furious.

"Oh my, you can understand even non-human language?" The middle-aged woman laughed triumphantly. "That's really something!"

That mocking expression of hers deserves an Oscar; it's enough to drive anyone crazy.

Anyway, Lu Tao is about to die.
