A life of success begins with being a landlord.

Liu Haomei also knew that Dao Zaixiong was Awen's third uncle, and she looked embarrassed.

"Cough cough..."

I quickly tried to smooth things over: "That Teacher Qian... Dao Zai Xiong is Ah Wen's third uncle, I know him very well, actually he... isn't that kind of person."

"Is Daozaixiong Ah-Wen's third uncle?"

Teacher Qian paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "I was just using an analogy, but it's not wrong. Even if Dao Zaixiong were here, he would have to admit that without Dongguan, he's nothing."

Awen's expression gradually returned to calm, and he nodded weakly: "What Teacher Qian said makes sense."

I poured wine for Teacher Qian: "Teacher Qian, let's talk about making money... For example, Hao Mei's father is in poor health, and his medical expenses are very high. He really needs money."

"If you want to make money, then I'll tell you an easy way: scammers and thieves. But there's one thing: you have to put your conscience aside."

Teacher Qian sighed: "Many of the magazines we print are full of people selling all sorts of get-rich-quick schemes, health products, riddle contests, idiom contests... They're basically all scams to make money."

You can collect some folk remedies, compile them into a booklet, cost only two or three yuan to make, and sell them for tens of yuan a copy—no problem at all. Sell a few hundred copies a month, deduct the fees, and you'll earn a few thousand yuan—it's a piece of cake. If you're willing to invest in fees, earning tens of thousands of yuan a month is also possible.

I was stunned. This actually works?

Ah Ping's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Teacher Qian, is it okay if we don't have any identification documents?"

Teacher Qian chuckled, "Just carve a radish stamp yourself, and you're done. Many magazines don't even have official publication numbers. As long as you pay, CCTV will do it for you!"

Ah Wen, still naive, laughed and asked, "Isn't doing this illegal?"

"Your third uncle, Dao Zai Xiong, has done a lot of illegal things, but look at him, he's still alive and well, isn't he?"

Teacher Qian sneered and shook his head: "Look at the TV again, those oral liquids, turtle essence, brain gold, those are real scammers, huge scammers! But, their identity is that of an entrepreneur."

I smiled bitterly, took a sip of my drink, and thought of the rocking machine I bought for a whopping 3,900 yuan.

Liu Haomei, now somewhat sensitive to Teacher Qian's teachings, asked a profound question: "Teacher, since there are only robbers, thieves, swindlers, and prostitutes in this world, why do you say... this is the best of times?"

"You asked a very good question. What I said just now was indeed somewhat extreme and pessimistic."

Teacher Qian nodded and smiled, "But you must know that the curtain has just been raised on a great era, and the enlightenment of the people has just begun. Various chaotic phenomena are inevitable. However, things will definitely get better and better in the future."

Then, Professor Qian explained many things in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

We young people admired Teacher Qian greatly and nodded repeatedly.

Hearing your words is better than reading ten years of books; that's the feeling.

It's a pity that Sister Li, Erxia, and Ding Zhili weren't here; otherwise, it would have certainly been an inspiration to their lives!

After the meal, I paid the bill.

Teacher Qian took Liu Haomei to work, and Awen also said goodbye and went home.

Ah Ping asked me, "Brother Zu, you haven't asked me about my job yet."

"Don't rush, let me think..."

I rubbed my temples: "Dao Zixiong called me this morning and said that any job is fine with him. So don't worry."

Ah Ping breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Then what else do you want?"

"I'm thinking about what Teacher Qian said, and the approach she suggested."

I had a sudden inspiration and pulled Ah Ping onto the motorcycle: "Come with me, let's go buy some magazines and see what guys are in them. Also, tell Bobo we're going to a meeting in Hongxing Village!"

Ah Ping got excited too, hugging my lower back: "Brother Zu, do you want to try the method Teacher Qian mentioned?"

"I was thinking of this for you and Bobo. I have serious business to attend to; I wouldn't stoop to being a liar or a thief."

Actually, it's not that I don't want to do it, but that I look down on such petty gains!

But earning 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a month is already quite impressive for Bobo and Aping!

Ah Ping sighed again: "But I don't have any capital. Of the two thousand yuan you gave me, I sent one thousand home, and now I only have one thousand yuan left. It's definitely not enough."

"I'll provide the start-up capital. If you make money, just share some with me." I chuckled.

Back in Sanlichuan, we bought more than a dozen magazines, intending to take them back for research.

Aping went upstairs and called Bobo down.

I called to Bobo and said with a smile, "Bobo, I have a way to make money. Get in the car, let's go to Hongxing Village to study it."

"What kind of approach?" Bobo's spirits lifted.

"We'll sell you to an old man in the countryside to be his wife, collect a sum of money, then you'll run back, and we'll sell you again... If we do this ten or eight times a year, we'll be rich."

"Go to hell!" Bobo glared. "Speak like a human being, do you have connections?"

I laughed and said, "Get in the car, we'll talk when we get to Hongxing Village. What are you afraid of? Afraid I'll eat you? It's not like I haven't eaten you before!"

Bobo shook his head and got on the motorcycle.

Ah Ping had nowhere to sit, so she could only curl up in my arms.

I was sandwiched between two girls, so I wasn't very good at driving.

The motorcycle wobbled and lurched as it arrived at Hongxing Village.

I told Bobo and Aping to get out of the car and walk slowly with me.

In Hongxing Village, I still wanted to pretend to be an upright person. If people saw me with one person in front and one behind, I wouldn't be an upright person.

Especially Bobo, she always dresses like a prostitute, in a tank top and a miniskirt, she doesn't look like a respectable person at all.

Sister Li had just woken up from her afternoon nap and was sitting in her office looking at the account books.

"Holy crap, your office is this big, your company is this big?"

Bobo was stunned as soon as he entered the office, exclaiming, "Sister Li, you're using your briefs as a hat! You've gone upstairs!"

"What's this little business? I'm going to be the world's richest woman!"

Sister Li was very proud of herself. She lifted her legs and put them on the desk: "Bobo, look at me now, don't I look like a domineering female CEO?"

"Sister Li, you..." I was about to say something joking when my face flushed. I took off my shirt and threw it over, covering Sister Li's thighs.

Sister Li was also wearing a short skirt, with her legs propped up on the table, leaving her completely exposed!

"Holy crap..." Sister Li reacted instantly and pulled her legs back.

Bobo also discovered the trap, clutching his stomach and laughing loudly, "Sorry, I saw everything! A domineering female CEO... truly domineering!"

"It's pointless to look." Sister Li glared at me and threw my clothes at me.

I'm so wronged! Why are you glaring at me instead of Bobo?

I kindly offered you clothes to cover you up, is that wrong?

Knock knock knock!

Sister Li banged on the table and looked at Bobo: "Speak, what do you want with me, Boss Hu? Boss Hu is very busy, so get to the point."

I think it's a pity about Sister Li. If she had gone into acting, she might have had a bright future!

When it comes to temperament, Sister Li has mastered it to perfection.

Bobo chuckled and pointed at me, saying, "Your little brother said he knows a way to make me rich, so he's here for a meeting to discuss it with you."

"What my brother says is definitely reliable."

Sister Li's eyes lit up, and she stood up and pressed me into the boss's chair: "Little brother, tell me slowly, what are some good ways to make money?"

Bobo sighed, "Sister Li is so biased! I'm quick to speak, but you, little brother, just keep going..."
