A life of success begins with being a landlord.

It's always about inviting me to dinner. Can't you invite me to do something else?

These beautiful women have absolutely no idea what men are thinking!

We hailed a taxi and headed straight to the branch office.

At the entrance of the branch office, I ran into Chief Nie and Liu Changying.

"Principal Chen, Brother Wang, Teacher Yu..."

Liu Changying quickly stepped forward, shook hands with us, and said with a smile, "After we finish our business, let's have a meal together to properly thank you."

Teacher Yu sighed, "Director Liu, I'll be thankful as long as your nephew doesn't cause trouble at school anymore."

Liu Changying's face darkened: "Don't worry, I will discipline him."

I laughed it off: "Let's not talk about the past. Director Nie, you lead us through the procedures."

Director Nie nodded and led us into the mediation room, proceeding with the procedures with practiced ease.

Liu Yehai and others were also called out.

Upon seeing Director Liu, Liu Yehai's lips trembled, and he felt like crying.

It seems these three days have left him with psychological trauma.

"You bastard, you're always causing me trouble!"

Liu Changying slapped him across the face, glaring and yelling, "You thought you were so tough? Sanlichuan Street isn't wide enough for you to walk on. Now you know, someone can handle you!"

I didn't say anything, just watched coldly.

"Old Liu, stop hitting him."

Nie stopped Liu Changying and glared at Liu Yehai and the others: "Stand still and bow to Principal Chen and Teacher Yu to apologize."

The few brats didn't dare to talk back, and stood in a row bowing and apologizing.

Principal Chen sighed: "Then it's alright. On behalf of the school, I accept your apology and am willing to mediate."

Next, we signed a letter of understanding, and Liu Changying, on behalf of his nephew, paid 500 yuan in damages.

As we walked out of the police station, Liu Changying looked at me and said, "Brother, do you want me to call a car to take you home?"

They were just saying they'd arrange a meal, but now they're not mentioning it anymore.

I've discovered that Liu Changying is quite superficial.

"No need, Director Liu, we'll go back ourselves. We have some errands to run on the way." I shook my head and smiled.

"Alright, we'll be going now."

Liu Changying nodded, and together with Nie Suo and a few scoundrels, drove off.

Principal Chen hailed a taxi by the roadside and said, "I need to go to the Education Bureau to take care of some business and deliver a report. Brother Wang, you and Teacher Yu go back first, and come back at noon. I'll treat you to lunch."

I glanced at Teacher Yu beside me and chuckled, "Principal Chen, aren't you afraid I'll kidnap Teacher Yu?"

"Really?" Principal Chen chuckled.

Teacher Yu sneered and said, "It's still uncertain who will kidnap whom. A young man like you is in high demand."

I smiled, took Teacher Yu to the intersection, and hailed a taxi.

Once we were in the car, Teacher Yu naturally took my arm: "Xiao Wang, thank you so much for what happened this time. If it weren't for you standing up for me, those little bastards would have disgusted me to death."

My arms sank into Teacher Yu's embrace, the warm and soft feeling washing over me and making my heart flutter: "Teacher Yu, do you... teach here alone?"

"You're asking about my husband, right?"

Teacher Yu sighed: "He works at an electronics company and is away on business for twenty days every month, so I'm left to live like a widow."

I couldn't help but chuckle: "Is your husband fierce?"

Teacher Yu was taken aback: "Why are you asking that?"

"If Teacher Yu's husband isn't mean, then I can spend more time with you in the future. If he is, then I won't go; I'm afraid he'll hit me."

"Not fierce..."

Upon hearing this, Teacher Yu beamed with joy: "My husband is the most hospitable to guests. Don't worry, if my husband hits you, I'll hit him for you."

"Okay, I'll definitely spend more time with Teacher Yu in the future."

I happily agreed.

Honestly, if I had a wife as beautiful as Teacher Yu, I wouldn't be constantly traveling for work.

Teacher Yu glanced at the time and said in a low voice, "Xiao Wang, it's almost eleven o'clock. How about... we find a place to eat alone? It's on me."

I was a little surprised and turned to look at Teacher Yu: "Isn't this too fast?"

Teacher Yu smiled sideways: "It's just a meal, don't overthink it."

"Teacher Yu is so beautiful, I can hardly control my wild thoughts." I pondered for a moment, "Let's go to Songyuli for dinner, there are many small restaurants there."

Teacher Yu nodded, leaned on my shoulder, and closed her eyes to rest.

When we arrived at Songyuli, we found a small restaurant, ordered a few dishes, and had a few drinks together.

Ms. Yu is quite elegant. While drinking, she chatted with me and told me about her life story.

Teacher Yu comes from southern Hunan and used to be a substitute teacher in a rural area.

Because of health reasons, she was unable to have children and was disliked by her husband's family, so she ran away with her husband, hoping to change her environment and improve her health.

When I arrived in Sanlichuan, I happened to see the situation at Yingcai School, and my heart softened, so I decided to teach there.

The monthly salary is 380 yuan, but thankfully there is a dormitory and meals are free, making it easier than working in a factory.

I thought about it and said, "Although the salary isn't high, the school provides room and board, and the work isn't tiring, so it's pretty good. Besides, my social status is different; after all, I'm a teacher, and I'm respected."

"Does that Liu Yehai respect me?" Teacher Yu said, pursing her lips.

"Those kinds of scum are, after all, a minority."

"They are not a minority in Dongguan."

Teacher Yu shook her head and sighed, "It's questionable whether our elite school can even continue operating next year. I heard it's going to be demolished."

I rubbed my temples: "That is indeed a problem."

I talked to Aunt Lan about the school's demolition.

Aunt Lan said that this matter is difficult to handle. At most, the Education Bureau, the Civil Affairs Bureau, and other relevant departments can coordinate to resolve the transfer issues for some students.

Building another private school would be very difficult.

The main problem is that Chen Zitao doesn't have any money!

If you have money, it's easy: just buy land, build houses, and apply for school operating qualifications.

Teacher Yu rolled her eyes at me: "You're the honorary principal and an ambassador of love, you should think of a solution."

"What use am I, this damned ambassador?"

I gave a wry smile: "How about I start a school when I'm rich and transfer all of you there? But... that might take decades."

Teacher Yu chuckled, shook his head, and drank his wine.

We ate in less than an hour.

I paid the bill and pointed to the small hotel across the street: "It's very hot, Teacher Yu, would you like to go and rest for a bit?"

Teacher Yu pinched me and chuckled softly, "Is your real intention not in the bar?"

"Then what do you care about?"

"It is the scenery of mountains and rivers that matters."

"Are there mountains and water here?" I pretended to be confused.

"Of course there are mountains and rivers, but you also need a kindred spirit. As the saying goes, 'High mountains and flowing waters meet a kindred spirit,' right?"

Teacher Yu spoke in a profound and artistic tone: "Generally speaking, I only reveal my talents when I meet a kindred spirit. Otherwise, I keep them hidden."

I looked Teacher Yu up and down, puzzled, and asked, "Hidden talent? Where is it all hidden?"

"Where do you think it's hidden?"

Teacher Yu gently slapped me and chuckled softly, "I didn't realize you were so naughty."

Just as I was about to answer, the phone rang. It was Dao Zai Xiong calling.

"Brother Xiong".

"Hey bro, I'm in Sanlichuan. Could you and Sister Li come over here for a bit?"

"Sure, but you'll have to wait a bit while I go pick up Sister Li." I hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Is something wrong?"
