A life of success begins with being a landlord.

I naturally reached out and caught the little girl, putting my arm around her waist.

The movements were very practiced, as if the person knew the ropes very well.

Alas, this melting pot has finally stained me black and rotten, leaving me no longer pure.

"Thank you, brother," the little girl said to me.

I let go of her hand, pointed to a seat on the side, and told her to sit down.

Another young girl poured us drinks, and Daozai Xiong raised his glass: "Come on, let's help Brother Wang calm his nerves."

Everyone raised their glasses together.

"Thank you, Brother Xiong, thank you everyone." I stood up, holding my wine glass.

After I finished my drink, Sister Tang patted my butt and laughed, "Little brother, don't ride your motorcycle when you go to the city. But in Sanlichuan, you can ride Brother Xiong's motorcycle as much as you want."

I understand now. Dao Zixiong was also a traitor and a puppet soldier, not a regular soldier. His motorcycle was only good for showing off in Sanlichuan.

As everyone drank, they started talking about the conman Master Wang from last time.

"Everyone, true masters do exist, but they are not easy to find."

Mr. Cai smiled mysteriously and pointed to the ceiling: "I know a master, practically a demigod. This master knows everything, has the power to bring the dead back to life, and defy fate!"

Sister Tang's eyes lit up: "Who is the master that General Manager Cai mentioned?"

Mr. Cai's eyes swept around: "Yinping Mountain, Daoist Zhongyun."

Upon hearing this, I was taken aback. Is Daoist Zhongyun really that amazing?

Sister Tang frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "I've also heard of Master Zhongyun's great name. However, it's said that he doesn't see outsiders."

"I was honored to have met him three years ago."

Mr. Cai said with a smug smile, "The location of my tire factory, the direction of the main gate, and the groundbreaking ceremony were all chosen by Master Zhongyun on auspicious days."

Is it so difficult to meet the Taoist priest? I just met him today, and he's nothing special.

I opened my mouth, but held back.

Stop showing off in the future, or you'll get yourself into trouble again!

Sister Tang craned her neck and stared at President Cai: "President Cai, could you introduce me to Master Zhong Yun?"

"That depends on the opportunity, I'll try my best." President Cai raised his glass.

The waiter came to serve more food.

The little girl sitting next to me got up and poured drinks for everyone.

But the little girl was a bit nervous, and accidentally tripped and knocked over Dao Zixiong's teacup.

A whole cup of water was spilled onto Daozaixiong's crotch!

"You shameless bitch, you're asking for it!"

Dao Zai Xiong was furious and jumped up, shaking his pants.

"Brother Xiong, I'm so sorry..." The little girl's face turned deathly pale, and she knelt down in front of Daozai Xiong with a thud. "Brother Xiong, I didn't mean to, I... I... I deserve to die!"

"You shameless bitch, good thing you know you're asking for it!"

Still furious, Daozai Xiong grabbed a wine bottle from the table and smashed it over the little girl's head.

It was a liquor bottle, very thick, with ridges at the bottom.

There's still half a bottle of wine left; if it's smashed, the little girl might die.

Dao Zai Xiong's eyes were fierce, and his actions were decisive; he seemed to care nothing for the girl's life or death.

boom!

Just as the bottle was about to fall, I stretched out my right palm and placed it on the little girl's head, catching the bottle.

Even so, the little girl was startled, and I felt a sharp pain in my palm.

"Wang Yaozu, you..." Dao Zixiong squinted at me, his face full of anger.

"Brother Xiong, I like this little girl, keep her for me." I casually pulled the little girl up, shielding her behind me, and forced a smile, "When we get back tonight, I'll teach her a lesson for Brother Xiong, I'll make sure she knows what's what."

Dao Zixiong remained silent, his face grim.

Director Hong laughed and said, "Auntie, you don't understand Brother Xiong's temper. It's only because it's you. If it were anyone else, Brother Xiong would have already slammed the bottle on your head."

This bastard, are you stirring up trouble?

Director Tang and Sister Tang, however, smoothed things over for me, standing up and saying with a smile, "Brother Xiong, you can leave the little sister that Yaozu has taken a liking to him."

Dao Zixiong remained silent.

"Brother Xiong, I know you're angry." I stepped forward and took the bottle from Daozi Xiong. "I'll drink this as an apology to Brother Xiong."

With that, I raised the bottle, ready to down it in one gulp.

"Forget it, bro!"

Dao Zixiong stopped me, saying irritably, "I know you can't hold your liquor, so don't try to be a hero. How about this, you show everyone what you can do, and I'll hand this bitch over to you to deal with!"

The little girl stood to one side, trembling uncontrollably.

I felt like she might faint from fright at any moment.

"I'll do as Brother Xiong says!"

I smiled, took the little girl's hand, and led her to the corner of the private room. I whispered, "Don't be afraid. Just listen to me, and I promise you'll be alright."

"Thank you... big brother." The little girl's voice trembled.

I turned around, grabbed a can of beer, placed it on the little girl's head, and instructed her again, "If you're scared, close your eyes."

The little girl was very obedient and closed her eyes.

I went back to the table, picked up a small meat knife from the plate, and weighed it in my hand.

Dao Zixiong and the others stared at me with wide eyes.

I took two steps back, creating the furthest distance between myself and the little girl, and suddenly with a flick of my wrist, the knife flew out.

boom!

The knife pierced the aluminum can, and the can was nailed to the wall.

The beer sprayed out, soaking the little girl's head and face.

"Excellent, excellent technique!" Dao Zai Xiong clapped and laughed, "I think Brother Wang's throwing knives are far more powerful than Anan's under Sang Kun!"

Everyone applauded.

"A trivial skill, not worth mentioning."

I smiled, walked over, pulled the little girl over, and sat her down on the chair next to me: "Brother Xiong, thank you for leaving this little girl to me."

"We agreed on this beforehand, so it's only right."

Dao Zai Xiong chuckled and pointed at the young girl: "Serve my brother well tonight. If you get handsy again, I'll chop you up."

"Brother Xiong, I know." The little girl nodded repeatedly, her smile looking more like a grimace.

I put my arm around the girl's shoulder, pulled her into my arms, and picked up a glass of baijiu: "Drink this as an apology to Xiong-ge."

The little girl immediately tilted her head back, gulped down a large glass of wine in two gulps, and then bent over and coughed violently.

Everyone chuckled and continued drinking and chatting.

Dao Zixiong clinked glasses with me and whispered, "Brother, Director Song has a very good impression of you. If you have the chance, put in a good word for me and get him to give us the land on Banpo Island. As long as Director Song agrees, everything will be easy."

I laughed and said, "Brother Xiong, I'll give it a try, but I'm afraid I don't have that much influence."

Sister Tang winked at me: "Once you get Director Song's daughter, things will be much easier."

"Don't you know, Sister Tang? Director Song's daughter is A-Wen's friend."

I was taken aback and immediately stated my position: "Even if you gave me ten lives, I wouldn't dare steal Awen's girlfriend. Besides, she's the bureau chief's daughter; she wouldn't even look at a nobody like me."

Dao Zai Xiong waved his hand dismissively: "Brother, don't misunderstand. Ah Wen and Ah Mei are just kids dating, it doesn't count. If you can win Ah Mei over, I guarantee Ah Wen will be fine!"
