A life of success begins with being a landlord.

Actually, A-Ping isn't considered pretty; I'd rate her looks a 6 out of 10.

But her advantage lies in her youth, energy, and good figure. Few seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls are unattractive, unless they're too overweight or have dark skin.

A-Ping smiled and said, "My sister is much prettier than me, Brother Zu. If you can find her a job, I'll introduce her to you as your girlfriend."

"It's a deal, sister-in-law." I agreed without hesitation.

Ah Ping thanked me, picked up a dry towel to dry my hair, and said with a smile, "Want me to help you take a shower later?"

Aren't you afraid?

"I'm not afraid."

Ah Ping sighed softly, stole a glance at me, and quickly lowered her head again: "I'm very grateful that Brother Zu doesn't look down on me and treats me as a friend. If Brother Zu wants... I... I can give it to you."

Is she planning to repay him with her body?

"Never mind, Ping, let's just... be friends."

I patted A-Ping's head: "I'll take a shower myself, you go watch TV."

There are so many beautiful women here that I can't handle them all; it's become a burden.

I should also settle down and take care of my health.

"Well... okay." Ah Ping seemed a little disappointed, nodded, and turned to walk out of the bathroom.

I put on a shower cap to cover the wound on my head and then took a shower.

Halfway through his shower, he heard Bobo knocking on the bathroom door: "Wang Yaozu, a woman called you..."

"What woman is she? What's her name?" I asked through the door.

"What's your name, Lanxin?"

"Holy crap, you're not talking nonsense, are you?" I was taken aback.

I didn't expect Lan Xin's call to come so soon.

"I told her you and A-Ping were sleeping together, and that woman got really angry and called you a bastard."

"Bobo, you've really messed me up! What nonsense are you spouting?" I cried out inwardly.

With a click, the bathroom door opened.

"You little brat, what are you doing?" I panicked, wrapping myself in a towel. "I'm still in the shower, I'm not wearing any clothes!"

"What are you yelling about? Everyone's seen that before!"

Bobo leaned against the door, holding his phone, and brazenly scanned me up and down, grinning mischievously: "You've got a great physique, Yaozu. Let's open a male prostitute shop. With your body, earning a thousand yuan a day won't be a problem."

A-Ping sat on the sofa, chuckling.

"Bobo, I'll strangle you when I get out!" I said angrily, slamming the door shut.

Bobo laughed wildly outside: "Don't be afraid, I didn't tell your little lover anything. I just said you were taking a shower. She asked who I was, and I said I was your older sister, Hu Xiaoli."

I breathed a sigh of relief.

After quickly taking a shower, I got dressed and went outside to call Lanxin back.

The call connected, and Lan Xin's soft voice came through: "You bastard, why didn't you answer your aunt's call just now? This old lady has a bad temper, be careful or I'll settle the score with you..."

That voice could bewitch you.

"Lanxin, is something wrong?" I didn't dare to get entangled with this woman, so I went straight to the point: "I drank too much tonight, I feel terrible, and I need to sleep."

"Sleep? Do you want me to lull you to sleep?"

"Lanxin, stop messing around and get to the point."

"You bastard, you don't call me Auntie, you call me Lanxin?" The person on the other end seemed angry.

"Alright, Auntie, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up. I'm feeling really unwell, I can't take it anymore."

"Don't hang up." Lan Xin's tone was commanding: "I'm pregnant, what do you say we do?"

Holy crap, that's an amazing excuse.

Your pregnancy is none of my business.

I laughed and said, "Auntie, you should rest early now that you're pregnant. Don't stay up late; it's not good for the baby. Just focus on your pregnancy, and I'll bring you a gift when you're in postpartum confinement."

"You brat, you're too scared to see me?" Lan Xin smiled. "Come out tomorrow night, let's have dinner and have a good... chat."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow, Auntie." I hung up the phone.

But Lan Xin wouldn't let it go and called back: "If you don't see me tomorrow night, you'll face the consequences."

I sighed. What a tragedy.

How did I end up getting involved with this vixen by sheer accident?

I just hung up the phone, and another call came in.

She is Director Tang's daughter, Wei Xueqing.

Sigh, I just got rid of one demon, and now another little demoness is here.

"Uncle, help! I'm in Sanlichuan..."

"What's wrong, Xueqing? What happened?" I asked, somewhat surprised.

"Something terrible has happened! Where are you?"

"I'm at Sanlichuan... Building 27. What's the big deal?"

"Then I'll come find you, but don't tell my mom!" Wei Xueqing hung up the phone.

I shook my head and sighed, took my phone, and went to wait for Wei Xueqing at the entrance of the building.

Wei Xueqing is a persistent nuisance; she might become a problem for me in the future.

She's Director Tang's daughter; it's hard to know how to handle this situation.

Not long after, two little girls wearing sun hats and masks walked over furtively, looking around suspiciously.

One is Wei Xueqing, and the other is Yangyang, the granddaughter of Grandpa Ruan.

I saw them at the entrance of the building and waved to them.

Wei Xueqing saw me too, and quickly ran over with Yangyang in her arms.

I turned and walked into the stairwell. Waiting for Wei Xueqing and Yangyang to arrive, I asked in a low voice, "What's wrong, Xueqing? Is it serious?"

Wei Xueqing looked around and asked in a low voice, "It's not convenient to talk here, could we go somewhere else?"

I thought about it and then took them up to the rooftop.

The rooftop was deserted, and the moonlight was beautiful.

Wei Xueqing abandoned Yangyang, grabbed my hand, walked around to the water tower, and pounced on me...

"Xueqing, didn't you say something important happened?"

"Isn't it a big deal that someone misses you?" Wei Xueqing said brazenly, grabbing my hand and leading me around.

"Xueqing, stop it, that's enough..."

I dare not go too far.

"Not enough." Wei Xueqing had been fooling around for several minutes, panting, and hugged my waist, looking up and standing on tiptoe: "There's a concert in a couple of days, and we don't have enough money for tickets, so we came to you."

Oh, so it was about borrowing money.

I breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "Don't you have any money on you?"

Wei Xueqing pouted and said, "You just searched me, do you have any money? Not a single penny."

I thought about it, and it seems that Wei Xueqing really doesn't have any money on her.

"How much?"

"It's six hundred yuan for Yangyang and me."

Wei Xueqing looked at me pitifully: "Please help me out, Yangyang and I... will thank you. We'll save the good stuff for you later."

"Little girl, don't lead Yangyang astray." I pinched Wei Xueqing's nose.

"Yangyang is even worse than me, believe it or not?"

Wei Xueqing chuckled and whispered in her ear, "If you don't believe me, I'll call Yangyang over, and you can..."

"I think Yangyang is a well-behaved girl, not as cunning as you!"

"Looks like you like well-behaved girls? I'll call Yangyang over..."

"Stop fooling around, little girl. If Yangyang's grandpa finds out, he'll eat me alive!"

With Wei Xueqing, I can joke around, even push my luck, and manipulate her to my heart's content...

But Yangyang, I don't dare.

The men and women of Hongxing Village are not easily jealous.

If Grandpa Ruan finds out, he'll tie me up and throw me into the sea to be fed to sharks.

"Idiot, how could Yangyang talk nonsense about something like this?" Wei Xueqing pinched me, with a mischievous grin on her face.

I shook my head, quickly took out my money, and gave Wei Xueqing eight hundred yuan.

It's safest to get rid of this little vixen as soon as possible.

"Uncle, I knew you were a good person, I knew you liked us..."

Wei Xueqing was overjoyed and gave me another compliment and reward.

After a while, I found myself unable to control my emotions.

However, because of Director Tang's influence, I never dared to cross the line.

"Hey, are you guys done yet?"

Suddenly, Yangyang quietly circled around, covered her face, and chuckled softly, "Where are you guys? I can't find you anywhere! What are you doing?"
