A life of success begins with being a landlord.

I nodded repeatedly: "Understood, I'll attend the class when I have time."

"I hope you keep your word," Manager Fang continued, still relentlessly lecturing me.

"You recently took Gao Jianfeng and Chen Feng away too, which has made them lose interest in recruiting others. Sigh, you've really ruined me. I should never have recruited you as a downline."

Holy crap, have I become a black sheep? Even pyramid schemes don't welcome me anymore?

Mr. Huang tried to smooth things over and also tried to brainwash me: "Actually, Mr. Wang has a lot of influence. Once he puts his heart into it, he will become a dark horse in the pyramid scheme industry."

I nodded: "When I have time, I'll recruit all of Jin嗓子's employees as my downline!"

Manager Fang then smiled, stood up, and selected a song: "Come on, let's sing."

Let's all have some fun!

But Mr. Huang pulled me outside to smoke.

Lighting a cigarette, Huang Aijun smiled and said, "Manager Fang's mind... is a bit stubborn, Mr. Wang, please don't take offense."

They've been brainwashed too much and are too deeply poisoned.

"How could that be? She's my boss."

I chuckled and asked, "Mr. Huang, how much money have you actually made? Can you take me with you next time you collect your salary? I want to see what's going on in your business."

Mr. Huang looked around and said, "I earn tens of thousands of yuan a month now, that's really true."

I pointed to my heart: "You lie to people every day, brainwashing them, don't you feel any remorse?"

"A little."

Huang Aijun sighed and pondered, "But in this world, it's hard for good people to make money. I'm from the countryside too, I don't have good parents, I don't have good connections, what can I do?"

I gave a thumbs up.

A man who dares to speak the truth is a true hero.

Suddenly, I remembered what Teacher Qian said: there are only a few professions in the world: robber, swindler, thief, and prostitute. Those who work hard are oxen and horses.

Huang Aijun is a fraud, but he is also a clear-headed person.

That Manager Fang is probably not that smart; he's caught up in the situation but unaware of it.

Huang Aijun flicked his cigarette ash and asked me in return, "You guys in the entertainment industry make money off women, don't you feel any remorse?"

"A little, so I'm only here temporarily to help out, and I'll be leaving soon," I told the truth.

Every industry has its dark side.

The entertainment industry, however, seems to have a darker side.

Huang Aijun laughed and said, "Then... is there a legitimate way to make money? If so, Mr. Wang, please give me a try."

Just as I was about to speak, a burst of laughter suddenly came from behind me.

Looking back, I saw Qian Yuhuai, the business manager of Jin Sangzi, along with two security guards and two supervisors, laughing and joking around a girl.

The girl was about eighteen or nineteen years old. She was dressed in a rustic way, but she was still quite pretty.

I went over and asked, "What happened?"

Qian Yuhuai is much older than me, almost fifty years old. He called me "little brother" and said, "Little brother, this young lady came to apply for a job here, hoping to make a lot of money. Why don't you take her in for a chat?"

As he spoke, Qian Yuhuai winked at me with a mischievous grin, telling me to take the girl upstairs.

I understand what Qian Laogui means.

Take them upstairs, then they can play however they want, right?

Shen Yuerong was also there, introducing the young woman: "This is our supervisor, Manager Wang. If you want to work here, you'll need to be interviewed by Manager Wang."

The young girl was really oblivious to her own danger; she actually nodded at me and said, "Manager Wang, I'm open to the interview..."

"Alright, Sister Rong, you can go ahead and get busy."

I waved my hand to send Shen Yuerong and the others away, and then I looked at the girl.

Her eyes aren't big, and she looks a bit like Sandy Lam.

I asked, "What's your name? Where are you from?"

"My name is Yue Qiaoyun, and I'm from Sichuan..." The girl wasn't afraid at all.

Are you from the same hometown as Chunyan? No wonder your accents are similar.

Feeling a bit friendly, I asked, "What did you do before? Why did you choose to work here?"

"I used to work in the polishing workshop of an arts and crafts factory, but I was laid off... However, it wasn't my fault; the factory was just doing poorly."

Yue Qiaoyun stammered as she explained, "I saw the job posting on your door, so I came here."

I shook my head: "Do you know what this place is for?"

Yue Qiaoyun looked around and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you... a waitress?"

"You're offered a waiter position, but here, all the waiters serve men. Are you capable of drinking and singing with men?"

"I can sing... a little, but I can't drink."

Yue Qiaoyun looked at me and pleaded, "Can't I work as a waitress, sweeping the floor and pouring tea? I can even wash dishes, really. I... I have no money for food, and no fare to get home..."

I thought for a moment and asked, "How much salary do you want? The pay for sweeping the floor is very low."

Yue Qiaoyun hesitated for a moment, then asked, "How about four hundred yuan a month?"

"Okay, I'll find you a job washing dishes and sweeping floors."

I asked for paper and pen, wrote down the address of our Hongxing Village company, and handed it to Yue Qiaoyun: "Go here and find a person named Erxia, and have her work there."

Yue Qiaoyun took the note and looked at it, looking very embarrassed: "I... I don't know how to read... I only know a few characters."

Wow, he's so young and not bad-looking, yet he can't read?

My eyes widened as if I were seeing an alien.

Old Qian laughed heartily and said with ill intent, "Go to Manager Wang's place and have him teach you every night."

"Old Qian, stop messing around."

I smiled and called the old squad leader.

Before long, the old squad leader arrived.

I pointed at Yue Qiaoyun: "Old squad leader, take my motorcycle and take this girl to Hongxing Village, then hand her over to Sister Li. Tell Sister Li to keep this girl and have her work in our factory from now on."

The old squad leader nodded and took my motorcycle keys.

I suddenly remembered something, so I saw the old squad leader and Yue Qiaoyun out.

Once outside, I told Yue Qiaoyun, "This is Dou Qiang, a veteran. He used to be a squad leader, and he's a very nice guy. You can call him Old Squad Leader or Brother Dou."

Yue Qiaoyun nodded hurriedly: "Hello, Brother Dou."

"Hello, hello, just call me Dou Qiang... I'm only a little bit older than you, a few years older."

The old squad leader blushed, his face turning red.

I laughed and said, "Yue Qiaoyun, the old squad leader doesn't have a girlfriend yet. You can date him and be friends with him. I guarantee I'll help you all get rich in Dongguan."

Yue Qiaoyun glanced at the old squad leader and gave an awkward smile: "I...I don't have a boyfriend either."

I almost burst out laughing.

Is this girl out of her mind? She's not picky about food at all?

To be honest, the old squad leader was at most 1.65 meters tall, and although he was said to be 25 or 26 years old, he looked like he was 30. Moreover, his face was covered with scars, and his skin was dark.

In short, he has nothing to do with being handsome or dashing.

Moreover, he's tongue-tied and doesn't know how to flirt with girls.

Such a person is unpopular in the marriage market. He also can't find a wife back in his hometown.

Yue Qiaoyun looked ten years younger than the old squad leader. She had fair skin, a beautiful face, a slim waist, a large bust, and long legs. She didn't seem to mind the old squad leader at all!

At this moment, the old squad leader became even more shy, chuckling foolishly, "Brother Zu, I don't have any money right now, and I don't want to... I'm too afraid to have a girlfriend."

"What kind of nonsense is this?"

I glared at him: "Are you planning to wait until you're fifty, when you're rich, before you start dating?"

The old squad leader stopped talking, stole a glance at Yue Qiaoyun, and then quickly lowered his head.
