A life of success begins with being a landlord.

Sister Li stammered, her words thick with incoherence: "I'm in Hongxing Village... at our company, I wasn't drunk..."

Just as I was about to ask for clarification, Erxia's voice came through the phone:

"Brother Zu, I'm taking care of Sister Li, it's alright. Today is Grandpa Ruan's grandson's tenth birthday. Sister Li brought a cake and a gift, and she had a good time drinking at Grandpa Ruan's place, so she got drunk."

I couldn't help but complain, "You still need to control yourself a bit."

Then it was Sister Li's voice on the phone again: "Little brother, you don't know, Grandpa Ruan has recognized me, made me his goddaughter... From now on, we'll be able to walk sideways in Hongxing Village!"

Holy crap, goddaughter? What's Ruan Chaoxiong up to?

However, Ruan Chaoxiong is old, and he recognized Sister Li as his goddaughter, so he probably doesn't have any ulterior motives.

"Erxia, you take care of Sister Li. Don't come back tonight, just stay in Hongxing Village."

I thought about it and said, "I've been running around all day and I'm a bit tired, so I won't go."

Erxia told me not to worry, she would stay with Sister Li.

Our company has everything; the bedrooms are ready-made, and all the daily necessities are provided.

Sister Li lives in Hongxing Village, which is much safer, so Yuan Guizhen would never dare to cause trouble.

After hanging up the phone, I prepared to go back to room 302 to take a shower.

I had just arrived at Fat Sister's Fried Rice Noodles shop when I ran into Liu Haomei getting off work.

"Brother Zu, have Chunyan and the others left?"

The first thing Liu Haomei asked upon meeting was, "Did Chunyan cry when she left?"

I shrugged: "She cried. Chunyan said she couldn't bear to part with you."

"You're talking nonsense. It's true that Chunyan can't bear to part with you." Liu Haomei rolled her eyes.

I smiled and said, "Hey sis, you've come at the perfect time. Help me wash my hair. My head is injured, so it's inconvenient for me to wash it myself."

The wound on my head wasn't big, but it was troublesome.

It's especially inconvenient to wash your hair.

Liu Haomei chuckled and pointed to Sister Ju's hair salon: "They have professional hair washing services over there, I'll take you there."

I curled my lip and swore, "They don't even know how to wash their dicks."

"rogue."

Liu Haomei slapped me, then grabbed my hand and said, "Let's go to room 505, I'll give you a good wash. Chunyan and Sister Ling are gone, and I'm a little scared living alone."

I nodded and followed Liu Haomei to room 505.

Since I spend a lot of time in room 505, I also have a change of clothes here.

Sister Ling is a diligent person. Every time, she washes the clothes I leave behind clean and folds them neatly.

When we got to room 505, Liu Haomei rushed up to me and hugged me tightly: "Brother Zu, I missed you so much, you know?"

"Okay, I know, but I..."

I gave a wry smile and sighed, gently pushing Liu Haomei away: "Haomei, you're a good girl, you should have your own path, don't let me hold you back. I'm like a wandering knight in a novel, unreliable."

Liu Haomei smiled and said, "I don't care."

I tidied up my sister's hair: "Wash my hair and change my dressing first."

Liu Haomei nodded and went to the bathroom to run me a water bottle.

After washing my hair and taking a shower, I felt much refreshed.

Liu Haomei also took a shower and dragged me out for a late-night snack.

I didn't want to go, but coincidentally, Wen called. It was a day off, and he had just arrived home.

I also wanted to see Awen, so I took Liu Haomei to find Awen to have a late-night snack together.

A new barbecue restaurant has opened on Sanlichuan Street, and the food is quite good.

Ah Wen treated us to barbecue and beer here.

After not seeing him for several days, Awen seemed to have lost some weight, his hair had grown longer, and he looked even more melancholy.

"Awen, look, your poem has been published, and your name is on it." Liu Haomei took out the magazine and showed it to Awen.

Awen's eyes immediately brightened, but he was also shy as he thanked him repeatedly.

Those two scoundrels started discussing literature again, talking non-stop until the mountains crumbled, the heavens and earth merged, winter thunder roared, and summer snow fell, completely ignoring me.

After a long pause, I finally found a chance to speak: "Ah Wen, have you been in contact with Ah Mei lately?"

"Amei is studying hard, and I don't want to disturb her."

Ah Wen sighed softly, "I'll contact Ah Mei again after the college entrance exam."

I deliberately probed, "Wen, you haven't changed girlfriends at school again, have you?"

Ah Wen is a pretty boy who looks like a Korean star. He has a melancholic temperament, distinct features, and can write sentimental poems about spring flowers and autumn moons. He's also rich and has no shortage of girlfriends at school!

When I was in high school, there was a rich kid in my class who was very similar to Awen. He had a lot of girlfriends, and girls from the next class even fought over him!

As for me, a country bumpkin, although I am tall, strong, and imposing, I am penniless, have no flirting skills, and am not popular with girls.

"Brother Zu, don't talk nonsense, I didn't." A hint of panic flashed in Awen's eyes.

I was secretly delighted, but I deliberately frowned: "It's best if there isn't one. You have to be worthy of Amei."

The task that Director Song and Aunt Lan gave me was to break up Awen and Amei.

I think my mission is about to be completed.

Ah-Wen seemed to be deliberately avoiding the topic of Ah-Mei, and instead discussed literature with Liu-Hao-Mei.

Liu Haomei agreed, and the day after tomorrow she will take Awen to visit her editor teacher.

I interrupted forcefully, "If I have time the day after tomorrow, I'll also go and visit that teacher."

Liu Haomei laughed and said, "Brother Zu, you understand literature too?"

"Of course I understand! I was born for literature!"

I looked up at the moon, raised my wine cup, and said: "When will the bright moon appear? I raise my cup to ask the heavens. I wonder what night it is tonight in the celestial palace..."

Awen and Liu Haomei were laughing so hard they couldn't stand up straight.

Several guests at the next table also cast surprised glances and shook their heads slightly.

We played until 11 p.m. before going back to sleep.

With Chunyan gone, Liu Haomei completely possessed me, giving me all her tenderness and affection.

……

The next morning, I took Liu Haomei to work, and then went to Hongxing Village to see Sister Li.

Sister Li was pale, clearly still recovering. She glared at me when she saw me: "What have you been doing wandering around all day? If you had been here last night, you could have helped me fend off a couple of rounds."

"Sister Li, I have a recipe for being able to drink without getting drunk. Once I've prepared the medicine, I'll help you get better."

I suddenly remembered this, and my eyes lit up.

The recipe was given to me by my second uncle, so it should work.

Li Jie and I started a company, and we'll be having more and more social engagements, so we'll have to significantly increase our alcohol tolerance!

I've had this idea for a while, but I've been too busy to put it into practice.

Sister Li was pleasantly surprised: "There really is such a recipe?"

"Yes, wait for me to prepare the medicine."

I nodded and said, "This morning, I'll be accompanying Director Liu and Director Nie to bail Liu Yehai out. Sister Li, thank you for your hard work with things at the company."

We went to bail him out this morning, as planned.

Liu Yehai and those few scoundrels were also locked up for three days, that's about enough.

I had barely finished speaking when Director Nie called, asking me to bring Principal Chen from Yingcai School and Teacher Yu to the Municipal Public Security Bureau to sign documents for the release of the person.

I promised Director Nie that I would immediately return to Yingcai School to find Principal Chen and Teacher Yu.

Teacher Yu didn't want to go and said with a wry smile, "Can I not go?"

"If you don't go, the procedure is illegal."

Principal Chen patiently persuaded, "Just write a letter of understanding and sign it. Mr. Wang and I will accompany you. What are you afraid of?"

I raised an eyebrow at Teacher Yu and patted my chest: "With your protector here, there's no chance of anything going wrong."

Teacher Yu chuckled, laughing so hard her chest heaved: "Thank you for your hard work, ambassador of beauty. I'll treat you to dinner when we get back."
