A life of success begins with being a landlord.

I looked at Yue Qiaoyun and said, "See? Isn't the old squad leader kind-hearted? Talk to him, and I'll find you a good job in the future. I guarantee you'll both make a fortune."

Yue Qiaoyun looked at the old squad leader and asked, "So... which factory does the old squad leader work at? How much does he earn each month?"

Since you asked that question, it means Yue Qiaoyun is really tempted!

"He is a senior manager and is not in the factory."

I gave the old squad leader a nudge: "Go on, take Yue Qiaoyun for a drive!"

The old squad leader smiled shyly and beckoned Yue Qiaoyun to get in the car.

The next moment, the two of them rode off on their motorcycle and disappeared from my sight.

I couldn't help but laugh.

There are so many girls here, finding a wife would be too easy.

Even someone as poor as the old squad leader finds it so easy to find a wife!

In my hometown in the countryside, this is unimaginable.

Old Qian came out and patted me on the shoulder: "Brother, that young girl from earlier was pretty good. Judging by her figure, she's still a virgin. Are you planning to take her home and have some fun with her for a few days?"

That's probably what everyone thinks.

Four hundred yuan a month, take it home, and you can play as much as you want.

But I really didn't have that idea. It was just a spur-of-the-moment decision to introduce Yue Qiaoyun to the old squad leader.

"Brother Qian, I have no such plans."

I turned around, pointed to the Golden Voice KTV, and laughed, "There are so many beautiful women here, it's dazzling. So, I haven't been thinking about women at all."

Things are valued for their scarcity; if there are too many beautiful women, they become cheap.

I admit that after experiencing many things, my fascination with beauty has faded.

If I continue to spend time with women, I might become completely incapacitated and impotent.

Old Qian didn't believe it at all and laughed heartily.

I shrugged and went to Gintoki and the arcade.

Just as I arrived at Yinmeiduo, Sister Tang called to ask if I had contacted Master Zhongyun.

Holy crap, I completely forgot about this!

"Sister Tang, I just called, but they were busy. They told me to contact them again in a couple of days." I couldn't say I forgot, so I had to lie.

Sister Tang didn't press me further; she simply invited me to visit and have a meal with her when I had time.

After hanging up the phone, I hesitated for a long time before deciding to contact Ke Cailian.

Asking for help is like swallowing a three-foot sword.

Every time I contacted Ke Cailian, I felt uneasy.

Suddenly, I remembered the books the Taoist priest had given me, which I hadn't read yet, and I felt even more uneasy.

The call connected, and Ke Cailian asked, "Mr. Wang, what are your instructions?"

"Hello, Sister Cailian, you can just call me Xiao Wang."

I nodded and bowed, even though Ke Cailian couldn't see me: "It's like this, there's a residential complex site selection process in Sanlichuan. The developer asked me to inquire if it would be possible to have your father take a look at the feng shui..."

"What a coincidence, my father is traveling and not at Silver Bottle Mountain." Ke Cailian chuckled.

"Then... when will the Taoist priest return from his travels?"

"It's hard to say. He might come back in three to five days, or he might come back in three to five years. Or maybe my dad will suddenly become an immortal and fly up to heaven, never to return."

"Flying up into the sky? No way."

I smiled ingratiatingly and said, "As the saying goes, when one attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. If the Taoist priest were to fly to heaven, he would surely have to come back to pick you up and take you with him."

"Wang Yaozu, you're calling me a chicken or a dog, aren't you?"

"No, no, no, you're a member of the divine family, I'm just a chicken or a dog..."

I shamelessly and obsequiously said, "Right now, I want to ask the Taoist priest to descend to earth and help me. If the Taoist priest helps me, I will be promoted to heaven along with my entire family."

Ke Cailian chuckled and asked again, "Have you finished reading those books?"

"Oh, almost there, I'm already watching it!"

I wiped the sweat from my brow: "I'm not very well-educated, so reading is a struggle for me. I've already read three books, and I'll stay up all night to finish the other two."

"Alright, I'll contact you again after I finish reading all five books."

"Hey, feed me..."

I spent ages trying to answer the phone, but the other end had already hung up.

It seems I can't avoid reading these five books; I have to read them.

With that thought in mind, I gritted my teeth, took Qian Laogui's motorcycle, and went back to 302 to retrieve the book.

It's just reading a book, it won't kill you!

I brought all five books to Jin Sangzi, intending to retreat here and read them in seclusion.

I flipped through it briefly, and there were many traditional Chinese characters inside that I didn't recognize.

I was immediately at a loss. After thinking for a moment, I called Principal Chen and asked Bai Lulu and Teacher Yu to find me a Xinhua Dictionary and a Classical Chinese Dictionary.

They both teach Chinese, so they know this stuff.

Soon after, Teacher Yu called me: "What's going on, Mr. Wang? What do you need a dictionary for?"

"Teacher Yu, these past few days of interacting with you cultured people have made me feel like I'm illiterate." I said very sincerely and with a proper attitude: "So I'm thinking that I should read more books, otherwise you won't include me in your group anymore."

Teacher Yu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Very good, Mr. Wang. As the ancients said, 'If you don't read for three days, you'll become repulsive.' You're so handsome; it would be a real shame if you became repulsive. The dictionary and thesauruses are all ready. Come and get them, or I'll give them to you."

"I'll take it."

I went downstairs.

The Jin Sang Zi (Golden Throat) market is a mixed bag, full of filth and corruption. I don't want Teacher Yu and Bai Lulu to come here.

To show off, I drove my Honda to the Elite School.

It was already dark, and school had let out, but some students were still studying here in the evening.

Teacher Yu and Bai Lulu were both waiting for me in He Tiantian's medical room.

The three beautiful women were somewhat surprised to see me arrive in a car.

Teacher Yu always speaks with wit and humor, saying with a smile, "Mr. Wang, you're driving a BMW now? And why isn't there a pretty girl in the passenger seat?"

I got out of the car, rubbed my nose, and said, "I'm just a nobody driving a beat-up car, nobody wants me."

Bai Lulu laughed and said, "Isn't Tiantian your girlfriend? Take her for a drive!"

He Tiantian blushed: "I'm not worthy of your status."

After exchanging a few jokes, Teacher Yu gave me the dictionary and thesauruses.

I thanked them, took the dictionary, and flipped through it casually.

He Tiantian asked, "Mr. Wang, are the medicinal wine and ointment you mentioned ready?"

"It's still early. I only had the old squad leader buy the wine jars and strong liquor today. We still have to wait."

I nodded: "If you have time, come over and help me prepare the medicinal wine and make the plaster."

Suddenly remembering something, Teacher Yu asked, "By the way, Mr. Wang, one of our students has severe eczema. Can you treat it?"

I laughed: "Is the student at school? Call them to the medical room to take a look."

Teacher Yu nodded and went back to the classroom to call the students.

Not long after, Teacher Yu brought a girl who looked about twelve or thirteen years old to He Tiantian's medical room.

I looked at the little girl: "Where is the eczema?"

"At the waist, and on the back."

Teacher Yu lifted the child's shirt, revealing her front and back, and said, "Her parents took her to several hospitals, but it didn't work."

I took a look, and the eczema seemed quite severe.

The skin blistered, ulcerated, oozing yellow fluid, and emitting a fishy smell.

I asked the child, "Is it itchy?"

"It's so itchy, it's unbearably itchy... but I'm afraid to scratch it." The little girl was almost crying.

I nodded and pondered for a moment.

He Tiantian leaned closer to me and whispered in my ear, "If you can cure this child's eczema, I'll believe you're a traditional Chinese medicine doctor."
