A life of success begins with being a landlord.

I hurriedly sat up and straightened my clothes.

Sister Li usually sleeps very soundly, why is she awake now?

Erxia quickly tidied her hair, pretended to pick up the ointment, and deliberately said loudly, "It's alright, Brother Zu, it's all bandaged up now. From now on, when you shower or wash your hair, don't get it wet..."

Sister Li had already opened the door and looked at me in astonishment: "Yaozu, you're injured again?"

"The superficial wound has been treated."

I leaned back on the sofa, not daring to get up, and hugged a sofa cushion to cover my lower abdomen, trying to hide my youthful stubbornness.

Getting up at this moment would look awkward and give away the secret.

"How did you get injured again? Who did you fight with?"

Sister Li ran towards me, then suddenly turned and ran towards the bathroom: "I need to use the restroom first..."

Seeing Sister Li go into the bathroom, Erxia and I exchanged a smile.

"Still laughing? If Sister Li sees you, it'll be so embarrassing." Erxia lightly punched me.

I stood up, hugged Erxia, and relived our old memories: "It's okay, Sister Li is sleepwalking, she won't remember anything tomorrow."

"Sit down quickly, or you'll give yourself away." Erxia blushed, pushed me away, and pointed to my lower abdomen.

I shrugged and smiled, then sat back down.

Erxia threw the cushion at me again, covered her mouth and laughed, "Shameless, quickly cover yourself up."

"When feelings run deep, all men act like that. It just shows you're charming."

I smiled and took the cushion.

A moment later, Sister Li came out of the bathroom and asked me again why I was injured.

So, I spent another ten minutes explaining what happened today...

Sister Li perked up and lit a cigarette: "That shrewish Sister Liang, we haven't even gone to her, and she's already come looking for us. What are you planning to do?"

"I plan to wait and deal with Li Hanwen and Yuan Guizhen's matter first."

My original plan remains the same: "Sister Liang can't escape. We'll deal with her. No rush."

Sister Li thought for a moment, then checked the time: "Then you should go to sleep early, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Erxia laughed and said, "Brother Zu, you're in Sister Li's room. Her bed is big."

Sister Li laughed and said, "I won't let him sleep with me, little kids are prone to bedwetting. Yaozu, you should sleep with Erxia, you're both little kids, innocent and carefree, it'll be fine."

I shrugged: "Fine, I'll go to room 204 across the street and sleep with the old squad leader."

I packed my change of clothes and went to room 204 to take a shower.

Unexpectedly, Gao Jianfeng was also there, holding binoculars and monitoring the street and the opposite side through the window.

I was immediately annoyed and asked Gao Jianfeng, "There was a fight on the street just now. I was treating the injured. Did you see it? Why didn't you go out?"

"I just came back from Dongguan City for training."

Gao Jianfeng chuckled: "Look, I just got back and started my shift right away, monitoring the activities of Wencheng Hair Salon across the street all night."

I waved my hand: "Alright, stop spying on me, go to sleep early."

Gao Jianfeng sighed, hesitated, and went back to sleep in room 402 across the street.

I guess he wanted me to recruit others, but he didn't dare to say it.

I quickly took a shower and went to bed.

……

It was eight o'clock in the morning, and I was still asleep.

Ding Zhili came to my door, urging me to go and discuss business.

After washing up, I took Sister Li and Erxia with me, got into Ding Zhili's double-cab pickup truck, and headed straight for Hongxing Village.

When we arrived at Hongxing Village, I left Sister Li behind and, together with Erxia and Ding Zhili, took fixer and film samples to the printing factory to promote them.

With Director Tang's help and our persistent pleading, we finally secured the business from Longteng Printing Factory.

However, the CEO of Longteng had a backup plan. Instead of signing an exclusive supply agreement with us, he only signed a minimum usage guarantee agreement—guaranteeing 300,000 units of fixer and film per year.

His reasoning was irrefutable: if an exclusive agreement was signed and then you withdrew for some reason, I would definitely lose out on the price if I contacted another company temporarily.

I expressed my understanding and gratitude for the consideration, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Jia, you'll know our prices and quality after one collaboration."

We returned to Hongxing Village for lunch and did some reflection.

Today, Longteng Printing Factory gave us an idea: for factories that we really can't get our hands on, we can refer to Longteng and offer a guaranteed supply to establish a relationship first, even if it's just a small one, and then gradually build trust later.

As long as we have advantages in price and quality, we won't have to worry about the market in the future.

Printing factories need to make money too. Why would they refuse something that is cheap and of good quality?

After lunch, Sister Li and Erxia stayed at our company, while Ding Zhili and I returned to Sanlichuan to prepare to haul over all the waste materials left behind by Kuai Dafa!

Kuai Dafa has caused me so much trouble, so I'll just take some black money to make up for the losses.

Gao Jianfeng and the old squad leader, along with Chen Feng, helped us move the goods.

There are two hundred pounds of black silver powder.

Ding Zhili said that this thing has a silver yield of 40%, which can be refined into 80 catties of silver.

Get rich!

There were also over a thousand kilograms of waste film, which contained a significant amount of silver.

While I was working, He Tiantian called from Yingcai School, stammering, "Wang Yaozu, where are you? Can you come to the school? We need to discuss something."

I sighed and rode my motorcycle to school.

School was in session when He Tiantian caught me, asking nervously, "How about... we go upstairs for a cup of tea?"

I nodded and followed He Tiantian upstairs to the dormitory.

He Tiantian poured me a cup of tea and said in a low voice, "Principal Chen here wants me to stay at the school and become a school doctor. What do you think?"

School doctor?

I was a little surprised and laughed, "Of course! There are three or four hundred students here, and we don't have a school doctor. If you work as the school doctor here, it'll be a contribution to society."

"But I studied nursing, I don't know how to treat patients."

"The school doctor's job is to provide initial treatment for minor injuries and promote basic hygiene knowledge."

I encouraged He Tiantian: "Besides, you can learn while you work. You're so young, you have plenty of time."

He Tiantian smiled and said, "Then I'll stay. You're the honorary principal, so please take good care of me in the future."

"No problem!" I nodded.

"Oh, right," He Tiantian hesitated for a moment, then added:

"My clothes and personal belongings are all in Wuwei Lane. Could you... come with me to get my things back? I'm afraid to go back alone."

So that's what it was about.

I laughed and said, "No problem, I'll go with you to get it."

He Tiantian frowned: "But what if we run into Sister Liang? Wuwei Lane is her territory, she'll have her men kill us."

I shook my head: "Sister Liang will only chop me up, not you."

Why?

"You're so pretty, she'd want to keep you around to make money for her, you idiot." I rolled my eyes.

He Tiantian stopped talking and glared at me slightly.

I then asked, "When do you plan to go?"

"Never mind, I don't need the luggage."

He Tiantian suddenly sighed: "If we run into Sister Liang and a fight breaks out again, I can't bear the responsibility."

I thought for a moment and said, "Don't you have a roommate? Have her bring the things over."

He Tiantian shook her head: "She has moved out, and now I live alone."

"Then give me the key, write down the address clearly, and I'll have a friend pick it up."

Sergeant and Gao Jianfeng, you can go get your luggage.

Sister Liang didn't know them.

"Forget it, Wuwei Lane is so winding, your friend won't be able to find it." He Tiantian shook her head again.

Women are so hard to please; they won't do this or that!

Just as I was about to grumble a bit, the phone rang. It was Luo Hongyu calling!

Calling me at this time must have been at Liang Sanjie's behest, right?
