A life of success begins with being a landlord.

"Sister Li, I'm your younger brother."

I was terrified and helped Sister Li up, saying, "Please sit down, I'll get you a glass of water..."

A man and a woman alone together, both having been drinking, living in the same room—if Sister Li does this, it could easily lead to trouble!

"I'm only happy because you're my little brother."

Sister Li pulled me to sit on the edge of the bed, looking at me with seductive eyes and slightly panting, "Yaozu, tell me the truth, am I pretty or not?"

"Sister Li...of course she's beautiful, the most beautiful." I nodded, feeling a little thirsty.

Sister Li is not only beautiful, but also very alluring.

The nickname "Little Fox" is well-deserved.

Sister Li hooked her arm around my neck, her breath sweet as orchids: "Then... have you ever thought about me?"

"Thought about you... what?" I pretended to be confused.

"You want to hold me, you want to love me." Sister Li's lips drew closer and closer to mine: "Don't you?"

"Sister Li, I didn't."

My heart was pounding in my chest, and I stammered, "Xiaogang and I are sworn brothers, and I've always... considered you like an older sister..."

"Don't mention Xiaogang, Xiaogang isn't here."

Sister Li suddenly appeared and came closer.

I quickly dodged, "Sister Li, no...don't do this, I'll go...get you a glass of water."

Sister Li gently pushed me and said, "Wait here, I'm going to the bathroom to wash up."

Holy crap, is this for real?

While I was still in a daze, Sister Li stood up and staggered toward the bathroom.

Oh dear, this is going to be a disaster!

Just then, my phone rang; it was Ding Zhili calling.

I answered the phone and asked what was wrong.

"Brother Zu, it's still wastewater from the printing factory! My uncle's business was completely taken over by Kuai Dafa..."

Ding Zhili tried to play the rogue with me, complaining, "Brother Zu, you were the one who promised it back then, including all eleven printing factories, so I'll give you 12,000 a month."

"Alright, alright, I know. Let Kuai Da gloat for now, I'll take the business back in a few days."

I interrupted Ding Zhili and asked, "Actually, we can expand our business further, instead of focusing solely on this wastewater and waste. If you're interested, we can discuss it."

"Brother Zu, of course I'm interested in making money through business. What kind of business?"

"It's still the printing factory business." I lit a cigarette and said slowly.

"This was my older sister Hu Xiaoli's suggestion. If we have the connections to source these products, we can supply paper, ink, fixer, and film to the printing plant. This business is much bigger than the wastewater and waste materials business!"

"Damn it, why didn't you say so sooner, Brother Zu!"

Ding Zhili suddenly realized, "These are all consumables for printing plants, used in huge quantities. If we can secure this business, that little bit of wastewater and waste is nothing."

I chuckled and said, "So, don't rush me. I'll call you when I'm done. You should look into the sourcing channels and prices for printing supplies and find some partners."

Ding Zhili readily agreed and hung up the phone.

Just then, Sister Li came out after washing up.

In Chunyan's words, they all smelled wonderful after washing.

"Yaozu, come on." Sister Li beckoned to me with her finger.

"Sister Li, I was just about to report to you."

I dared not provoke Sister Li, so let's get down to business: "Ding Zhili just called. I told him that I want to do big business with the printing factory, and asked him to find out about the supply channels and market prices first."

When the topic turned to money, Sister Li immediately became serious: "Does Ding Zhili have connections? Can he get the lowest prices for goods?"

Li-jie and I share the same view: if we want to do business in printing consumables, we must have a supply channel, and we must offer low prices and guarantee quality.

Otherwise, why would a printing factory cooperate with you?

I smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister. People from Jiangsu and Zhejiang know how to do business. Let Ding Zhili find out about the supply channels and markets. We'll get back to him soon."

"Very good, very good. Once we make a lot of money from our big business, we won't be landlords and landladies anymore."

Sister Li was very happy and held my hand: "Little brother, what do you want to do most when you have money in the future?"

"I most want to... I most want to find a beautiful woman like Sister Li to be my wife!" I suddenly felt like teasing Sister Li again.

"You little bastard, I knew you'd thought about me."

Sister Li pinched me and pulled me towards the big bed: "Come on, I'll give you a chance!"

"Sister Li, I was just kidding..."

"What do you mean, 'just kidding'?"

Sister Li had already sat down, rolling her eyes: "I asked you to give me a massage, what do you want? Do you expect me to... have a sibling-like relationship with you, a love-hate one?"

"No, no, Sister Li, you... sleep well, I'll give you a massage."

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Sister Li lay down, raised an eyebrow, and asked me, "Should we massage the front first, or the back?"

"The back is the B-side of the disc."

"Do people also have two sides?" Sister Li smiled and turned over.

I got into bed and gave Sister Li a massage.

I don't really understand massage; I only know how to loosen muscles and joints and massage some acupoints that feel sore to help with blood circulation.

This rudimentary skill was taught to me by my father.

Unexpectedly, it came in handy.

As they were pushing her, Sister Li started acting strangely... and actually fell asleep!

Looking at Sister Li on the bed, I had a shameful thought—I wanted to give her a good beating. All she does is tease me, this innocent young man!

The phone rang again; it was He Tiantian calling.

I went outside to answer the phone and asked what was wrong.

He Tiantian was very happy and said with a smile, "Mr. Wang Yaozu, I'd like to invite you to dinner tonight. Could you do me the honor? I wanted to invite you to dinner last time, but you generously helped Xue Meiying, so we didn't get to have dinner together."

"At least you still have some conscience." I smiled. "By the way, did Xue Meiying have her amputation surgery? How is she doing?"

"The situation is not bad, and Xue Meiying is in a good mood. But she will need another three to five days before she can be discharged from the hospital."

"Amputation surgery, and you can be discharged in three to five days?" I was a little surprised.

It seems that Ah Wen and Ah Mei are still not discharged from the hospital!

"Finger amputation involves a very small wound; proper anti-inflammatory treatment is all that's needed."

He Tiantian sighed, "I also wanted Xue Meiying to stay in the hospital for a few more days, but the sisters are worried about the money."

"Then you take care of Xue Meiying. I won't eat dinner; I'm very busy these next few days." I hung up the phone.

Looking at the time, it was already two o'clock.

I tried to wake Sister Li, but I couldn't.

Pinching her nose didn't work either.

I tried to pinch her for a long time, but she didn't react at all; she was sleeping like a dead person.

I had no choice but to make Ah Qiang wait.

At 2:30, I finally managed to wake Sister Li up with all my might.

"You bastard, you're disturbing my sleep..."

Sister Li looked unhappy. After washing up, she accompanied me to the bank to deposit money.

I wanted to open a savings account, but Sister Li made me open a bank card instead.

So, I got my first bank card and suddenly felt like I was rich!

Ah Qiang and Tiger then took us back to Sanlichuan.

I got out of the car and let Sister Li go upstairs first, then called Tiger to talk in the stairwell.

Tiger smiled ingratiatingly: "Brother Zu, what's the matter?"

I asked, "How's your girlfriend, Erxia, doing?"
