A life of success begins with being a landlord.

I stated unequivocally: "There's no room for discussion."

"Brother Zu, I'm begging you."

Kuai Dafa knelt down again, wiping his nose and crying, "Brother Zu, even if you're going to kick me out, at least give me some compensation. Otherwise, I really can't go on living."

"I have no compensation for you, I can only give you three days. If you don't leave after three days, you will bear all the consequences."

I shook my head and turned away.

Actually, you can also discuss the compensation with Ding Zhili.

Give Kuai Dafa some money and get rid of him. That way, there will be no one interfering in the wastewater treatment business of printing factories in Dongguan. We'll become the monopolist, so why would we be afraid of not making money?

I have utter contempt for Kuai Dafa's character, so I don't want to give him a single penny of compensation!

After going downstairs, I headed to Building 26 across the street, only to unexpectedly run into the man with the gold teeth.

This guy actually got discharged from the hospital!

"Wang Yaozu!" The gold-toothed man's eyes blazed with fury as soon as he saw me, his teeth clenched in anger.

"You bastard, how dare you steal my job! I'm warning you, give me back the management of Building 26. Otherwise, I'll have you hacked to pieces!"

Kill me?

I laughed: "Gold Tooth Bro, the management of Building 26 was something Zhan Lao Er begged me to do, not something I snatched from you. If you want to cut someone down, go cut Zhan Lao Er, don't come after me!"

The gold-toothed man's threat is nothing to me, not even worth a dog's fart.

Even if you gave him two times the courage, he wouldn't dare to cut me!

"You're talking nonsense. If you hadn't interfered, I'd still be the manager of Building 26."

The man with the gold teeth was furious and stomped his feet, yelling, "I don't care, I'm not going to give up Building 26!"

Waaah—!

A large scooter came leisurely by, and the rider swerved, causing the front of the scooter to hit the gold-toothed man's buttocks.

"Holy crap!"

Gold Tooth stumbled forward, fell to the ground, and landed face-first in the mud.

Daozai Xiong, riding on his bike, grinned at me.

I was about to greet him when the gold-toothed guy flipped over and started cursing: "You son of a bitch, can't you see where you're going on your bike... Ah, Xiong Ge!"

Upon seeing Daozaixiong, Jinya Lao turned pale with fright and sat on the ground trembling.

Daozai Xiong pointed at the gold-toothed man: "If you ever dare to come to Sanlichuan again, I'll chop you up and feed you to the dogs! Get lost!"

With a whoosh, the gold-toothed man got up and disappeared in a flash.

I couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Xiong, what brings you to riding motorcycles today?"

The scooter that Daozaixiong is riding is probably an imported brand; it looks very heavy and luxurious.

Furthermore, the vehicle has been modified, with police lights and sirens installed on the front.

So cool!

Daozai Xiong forked the motorcycle and laughed, "This is the motorcycle I rode three years ago. It's useless now, so I'll give it to you, brother. Everyone in Sanlichuan, including the new development zone, knows my motorcycle. It'll be easier for you to get things done."

I glanced at the motorcycle, frowned, and chuckled, "Brother Xiong, isn't this a bit much? It has a siren and flashing lights on it; I can't possibly use it."

If it's a regular motorcycle, I can take it.

But this one won't do; it's not worthy of my status!

Uncle Hat caught me and beat me up, saying I was impersonating someone else. I had nowhere to reason with him.

"You're worried about this?" Dao Zixiong laughed heartily.

"We'll go to Director Nie and get you a security team member's badge, and arrange a position for you as a section chief. With the badge, you can patrol openly and legally."

Patrol? I've transformed into Uncle Hat!

I wanted to be Uncle Hat when I was a child, but unfortunately I never got the chance.

I never expected that coming to Sanlichuan would fulfill a dream of mine.

I couldn't help but be tempted and asked, "Brother Xiong, if I get a permit and become the area chief, I can patrol on a motorcycle. But if I encounter a snatch-and-grab robbery, do I have the authority to enforce the law?"

"Of course!" Dao Zixiong said seriously.

"Maintaining public order is our responsibility. As the head of the area, you can manage the security of Sanlichuan and the new development zone. You can handle everything from prostitution and robbery to pickpocketing and brawling. If someone disobeys, you can kill them without consequence!"

Holy crap, that's awesome!

I laughed: "Brother Xiong, if that's the case, then I'll take the motorcycle. At least, no one will dare to steal it from me anymore."

Sanlichuan is really quite chaotic.

I was always on edge whenever Chunyan, Sister Li, and Liu Haomei went to and from get off work.

Once I become the head of the local security district, I'll be able to improve the environment here a bit.

My good deed is to reduce the number of snatch-and-grab robberies and make women feel safer when walking.

Dao Zixiong nodded and beckoned me to get in the car: "Come on, I'll take you to see Director Nie."

I nodded and got on Daozai Xiong's motorcycle.

Sanlichuan is about a mile away, not very far, you can get there in the blink of an eye.

The office was busy, with people coming and going, but Director Nie was not there.

A very pretty policewoman greeted us and led us to Chief Nie's office, where she made us tea.

Dao Zixiong called Director Nie and asked where he was, urging him to come over as soon as possible.

Half an hour later, Director Nie arrived, looking sleepy and reeking of alcohol.

"Brother Xiong, Brother Wang, I'm so sorry, I just got back from a business trip."

Director Nie shook hands with us and apologized.

Dao Zixiong grinned: "Business trip to a woman's bed, huh?"

"You, you!" Director Nie pointed at Dao Zixiong, shaking his head with a smile: "What's the matter? Speak up."

Daozai Xiong gestured towards me with his lip: "Brother Wang is very skilled and upright. I would like to recommend him as the head of the Sanlichuan neighborhood security team to help manage the security of the Sanlichuan area and contribute to society."

"Hey, that's great!"

Director Nie patted me on the shoulder: "I'll get you a pass and a uniform. From now on, you're one of our comrades!"

I suddenly realized that something was wrong with what I was saying.

They wanted to back out and decline, but at this point, they couldn't bring themselves to say a word.

Director Nie called over a beautiful woman, took me to the photo studio to take pictures, and then gave me a uniform shirt from the security team.

The uniform was wrinkled; it reminded me of the clothes worn by traitors and puppet troops in anti-Japanese war movies.

Moreover, they only had jackets, not trousers.

Wearing this thing, I don't even look like a traitor or a puppet soldier; at most, I'd be a half-traitor!

Dao Zai Xiong laughed and said, "Brother, the documents will be ready tomorrow. Just come and pick them up yourself."

"Okay, Xiong-ge, Nie-ge." I nodded, "Then I'll head back now."

Director Nie nodded.

Dao Zixiong saw me out and laughed, "Brother, you'd better not worry about my second brother's dilapidated house. It won't make you any money, and it'll only be a hassle."

I smiled and said, "I've already promised my second brother, so I'll start doing it for now."

Dao Zixiong didn't go back with me.

I rode Daozixiong's big motorcycle alone, leisurely returning to Sanlichuan.

There is no garage in Building 27, so I can only leave my motorcycle at the stairwell with a big lock.

Dao Zixiong's car is probably something no one would dare steal in the Sanlichuan area.

It was lunchtime, so I ate a bowl of fried noodles at Fatty's place and went upstairs with a satisfied burp.

Arriving at room 302, I took out my key and prepared to open the door.

"Brother Zu, we meet again!"

Two men rushed down from the corner platform upstairs, pointing their spray cannons at me.

It's Nan Batian!

I was startled and turned to look downstairs, instinctively preparing to turn around and run away.

"Bro, behave yourself!"

Two men came downstairs, pointing their guns at me.
