A life of success begins with being a landlord.

I squatted down and touched the snake's head.

The two large snakes immediately coiled up, but still held their heads high.

I grabbed a snake-shaped pastry in each hand and approached Master Wang: "Master, there are still a few large snakes at the Banpo Island site. Can you summon them?"

Upon seeing the giant snake, everyone quickly moved away.

Master Wang also looked terrified and stepped back.

Dao Zai Xiong stepped forward personally, blocking Master Wang's path, and sneered, "Master Wang, you can't possibly lose to a young man, can you? Even if you're a reincarnated dragon, why don't you summon two giant snakes as well?"

Master Wang dared not reply, and turned his head to look around, searching for his assistants.

However, his assistant had already been taken control of by Ah Qiang's men and was unable to go forward.

At that moment, some leader I didn't recognize yelled at me, "Who are you? What do you want?"

"I don't want to do anything, I just want to experience Master Wang's methods and see if he is a real master."

I threw the two large snakes at Master Wang's feet.

Upon seeing this, Dao Zai Xiong quickly retreated.

Master Wang was also trembling with fear as he stared at the two large snakes.

I clapped my hands and smiled at everyone, saying, "I used to know the tricks of 'listening to words' and 'making wine from an empty cup.' Ladies and gentlemen, I'll perform it for you sometime. Sorry to bother you today!"

Having said that, I gracefully withdrew from the scene.

At this point, it's basically like we've exposed Master Wang's true colors.

My goal has been achieved.

Two large snakes followed me, swimming towards the bushes.

I went to the edge of the grass and continued to clap my hands and stomp my feet, summoning several large snakes that danced around me.

A crowd gathered at a distance, exclaiming in amazement.

Master Wang suddenly shouted, "Brother, get me the snake water back!"

Snake-repelling water is an antidote for snake venom.

I turned around, took a small bottle out of my pocket, and tossed it over casually: "The white one is for internal use, the red one is a pill. Crush them and apply them to the wound."

At this point, Master Wang's true colors were completely exposed.

A reincarnated dragon asking me for the antidote? What kind of expert am I?

Director Song saw this and shook his head slightly.

I gracefully withdrew from the scene and walked towards the car parked to the side.

Ah Qiang arranged for a driver to take me back.

Once I got in the car, I breathed a sigh of relief and called Sister Li: "It's all settled, everything's fine, I'm heading back to Sanlichuan now."

Sister Li replied, "I'm right here, watching you from a distance. Go back and rest for a bit, I'll be back later."

I hung up the phone and leaned back in the seat to rest.

Back in Sanlichuan, I went to room 204 of building 26 to wash my hands and change my clothes.

The phone rang; it was Xiao Pei, Director Song's driver.

Xiao Pei asked in a low voice, "Boss Wang, was what happened this morning arranged by Dao Zixiong?"

I thought about it and told the truth: "I have no grudge against Master Wang, so of course I wouldn't expose him for no reason. It was Dao Zixiong who asked me to help. However, I didn't know beforehand that Director Song would be here today. I also don't know if this matter will have any impact on Director Song."

"It won't have much of an impact." Xiao Pei hung up the phone.

What does "not much impact" mean?

Just then, Sister Li called me again, asking me to go to the Jinlong Hotel for dinner and collect the money!

When it comes to getting paid, I can't refuse to go.

I called Fugui Mao, who immediately took me to the Golden Dragon Hotel in the East District and to a large private room on the fourth floor.

Ah Qiang and Tiger were standing guard in front of the private room. When they saw me, they nodded and greeted me, calling me Brother Zu.

"Tiger, you're really something now." I glared at the tiger.

Tiger bowed and scraped: "Brother Zu, it's all thanks to your introduction, and the help from Brother Xiong and Brother Qiang. I'll treat you to drinks another day..."

Inside the private room, Dao Zixiong and Director Tang were both present, as was Sister Li.

That's all.

"Brother Xiong, Sister Tang, Sister Li," I nodded in greeting.

"Brother, you did a great job today, I'm very satisfied." Sister Tang smiled broadly and pulled me over, "Come, come, sit next to me."

"Thank you, Sister Tang." I sat down.

Dao Zixiong picked up a cloth bag from beside his feet and tossed it over: "Brother, here's 100,000 yuan. The remaining 100,000 yuan will be yours after we acquire that land."

I was about to say a few polite words and pretend to decline when Sister Li gave me a look, signaling me to accept it.

"Brother Xiong, Sister Tang, then I'll accept it. Thank you for your kindness."

I put the cloth bag down at my feet.

Dao Zixiong laughed and said, "Director Nie and Director Hong went with the higher-ups. Today, it's just the few of us eating, and we won't talk about Master Wang during the meal."

After saying that, Daozai Xiong called Ah Qiang to serve the dishes.

Unexpectedly, the first dish was four beautiful women!

Dao Zixiong ordered two, pointed at me, and said to the remaining two beauties, "You two sit over there and serve my brother."

"No, no, no, I don't want... to be served." I hurriedly waved my hands in refusal.

With Sister Li and Sister Tang here, I don't have Daozixiong's thick skin.

Sister Tang laughed and said, "With Xiaoli here to keep you company, Brother Yaozu definitely won't want any other beauties."

Sister Li laughed and said, "Director Tang, Yaozu is my younger brother. I keep an eye on him at home, but once he's out, I don't care. I wouldn't mind if he wanted a hundred beautiful women."

"Haha, Sister Li has spoken, Brother Wang, so go ahead and have some fun."

Dao Zixiong laughed heartily, embracing the two beauties on his left and right, and groping them.

That guy is a real beast.

Sister Li and Director Tang were both there, and he couldn't wait any longer, without any shame at all!

Sister Tang and Sister Li seemed to take it all in stride and didn't feel embarrassed at all.

This world is truly unbearable to look at.

I firmly refused to accept those two beauties and sent them both to Daozaixiong's place.

Soon, the food and drinks were served.

I declined to drink alcohol, making the excuse that I had taken snake medicine that morning and couldn't drink.

Sister Li deliberately tried to curry favor with Dao Zai Xiong and Director Tang, keeping them company as they drank and chatted.

An hour later, Sister Li was almost drunk again, her eyes glazed over.

I quickly stopped her: "Sister Li, you can't drink anymore. Brother Xiong, Sister Tang, please forgive us. After we finish eating, I still need to deposit this money."

Dao Zixiong didn't try to persuade them any further. He instructed Aqiang and Tiger, "After you finish eating, accompany Sister Li and Yaozu to run their errands and take them back to Sanlichuan."

After the meal, Dao Zixiong and Director Tang left together.

Ah Qiang checked the time and asked, "Sister Li, Brother Zu, it's only one o'clock now, and the bank doesn't open until two. How about we arrange a place for you to rest? There are guest rooms upstairs in this hotel."

Sister Li, her eyes glazed with drunkenness, said, "Alright, Yaozu and I will go upstairs to rest for a bit, and then we'll go to the bank at two o'clock."

Ah Qiang nodded and went to arrange the rooms.

I helped Sister Li up and followed behind.

Ah Qiang arranged a suite for us, and the conditions were very good.

As soon as I entered, Sister Li hugged me and excitedly exclaimed, "Little brother, you got 100,000 yuan, aren't you happy?"

I panicked a little: "Sister Li, you've had too much to drink, take a rest first."

"I didn't drink too much. With you here, it's okay if I drink a little more."

Sister Li seemed genuinely drunk. Suddenly, she kissed me on the cheek and said, "Little brother, our good days are coming! Are you happy? Excited?"

My lips felt warm, and smelled of wine.
