A life of success begins with being a landlord.

On the sofa in the private room, the old squad leader and Yue Qiaoyun were rolling around.

It doesn't look like they practice wrestling.

The old squad leader was also startled. He quickly released Yue Qiaoyun and stood up: "Brother Zu..."

Yue Qiaoyun covered her face, turned her back to me, and did the "burying her head in the sand" thing. Like a pheasant sneaking into a haystack, she was only concerned with her head and not her rear.

"I didn't see anything, you guys continue."

I put down the fruit plate, chuckled, and left through the door.

I thought the old squad leader was clueless, but it seems I was overthinking it. Men are born to do bad things!

I hope that the old squad leader and Yue Qiaoyun can really become husband and wife, then all my efforts will not have been in vain.

After making my rounds, I returned to my office to read.

After dinner, Dao Zixiong suddenly called and asked in a low voice, "Brother, I want to borrow something from you."

"What is it, Xiong-ge? Tell me."

"It's that potion that immobilizes people."

"what?"

I was taken aback and hesitated before asking, "Brother Xiong, what do you need that thing for?"

Overdose of cartilage powder can be fatal.

Dao Zai Xiong wants this stuff; he's definitely not up to any good. What if it causes someone to die? Wouldn't I be implicated?

"Brother, don't ask anymore. I just need a little bit, just for backup."

"Brother Xiong, when do you need it?" I asked.

"Tomorrow night, okay?"

"Okay, come pick it up tomorrow afternoon." I had no choice but to agree.

If they don't agree, they'll probably upset Dao Zaixiong. Negotiations with Li Hanwen will depend on Dao Zaixiong's help.

Sigh, there's really no other way.

Just as Dao Zixiong hung up the phone, Sister Li called again.

"Brother, Li Hanwen and Yuan Guizhen have agreed to negotiate. They said they'll come to see us in three days."

"Three days later? Sure." I did the math and realized I was free at the right time.

Sister Li was still uneasy and chatted with me for a long time.

I reassured her that we would deal with any challenge, no matter what.

Anyway, we are not afraid of Yuan Guizhen now.

At this point, the old squad leader sent Yue Qiaoyun back to Hongxing Village, then came back to report to me on the building management work and handed over some rent that had just been collected.

Actually, the old squad leader was in charge of two buildings, so he was quite busy and often couldn't sleep until midnight.

Sometimes, he even runs errands for me.

I asked the veteran squad leader, "Is the work tiring? Can you handle it?"

"It's alright, Brother Zu, not tiring, just a bit tedious," the old squad leader said with a kind smile.

"So... how far have things progressed between you and Yue Qiaoyun?" I glanced around to make sure no one was watching, then chuckled mischievously in a low voice, "Have you slept together?"

"No, it can't be that fast..." The old squad leader blushed.

"This is the most prosperous place in the south, where efficiency is paramount, and everything must be done quickly."

I chuckled and patted the old squad leader on the shoulder: "You need to be bolder, quicker, and try to get married and have a son soon!"

The old squad leader scratched his head: "Brother Zu, I'm just afraid that Yue Qiaoyun... won't like me."

I glared at her: "They've already hugged and kissed, how could she possibly be interested in you? You're a retired soldier, a highly educated person; you now earn two thousand a month, a high-income white-collar worker, how could she not be interested in you?"

Yue Qiaoyun was considered pretty, but she was illiterate.

The old sergeant wasn't handsome, but he had served in the army and was in good health. Being a veteran was a social status, and every Spring Festival he would receive some gifts, at least a New Year's picture.

Comparing their overall conditions, the two are about the same.

The hunchback's mortis is just right for sleeping!

"Hehe, hehe..."

The old sergeant blushed at my praise, chuckled awkwardly, and then his eyes lit up: "By the way, Brother Zu, I have a comrade who wants to look for a job. Do you think... you could help him?"

I hesitated for a moment: "Your comrade-in-arms? Is he reliable?"

"He's reliable. Back when I took him out to have an affair, and we got locked up afterward, he didn't betray me."

"Haha, that's good!" I couldn't help but chuckle. "Have him come over, I'll arrange it."

Li Jie and I are currently short of people.

The next step is to set up a materials recycling company, which will make us even more short-staffed.

People from our hometown don't dare to use her, because Sister Li is worried that her privacy will be exposed and that people will know she is the mistress of a big boss in the Hong Kong government.

My old squad leader was honest and reliable, and because I loved him so much, I thought his comrades were just as reliable.

The old squad leader left, and I continued reading.

He Tiantian called from Yingcai School, her voice anxious: "President Wang, are you busy?"

"I'm not busy, what's up?"

"That child's eczema, come quickly, something's wrong..."

"No way? Wait a minute!"

I put down my books and drove straight to Yingcai School.

It was already 9 p.m.

When I arrived at the school, I saw several people in the medical room.

He Tiantian, Bai Lulu, Teacher Yu, Xue Meihua, and a couple of strangers, who were about thirty years old, were all there.

But everyone seems to be smiling, so it doesn't look like anything's wrong.

"Mr. Wang, come quickly." He Tiantian greeted me and introduced the couple: "These are the child's parents..."

"How is the child?" I asked He Tiantian, worried.

"The child is better, the eczema is gone!"

He Tiantian exclaimed excitedly, "President Wang is truly amazing! This folk remedy is incredibly effective! Look, the wound has scabbed over and is starting to peel off..."

Holy crap, are you kidding me?

I breathed a sigh of relief and went to check on the child's eczema.

Just as I expected, the wound has dried up and scabbed over, and the scab has started to fall off.

The couple thanked me, saying, "Mr. Wang, thank you for taking care of the child. We're usually very busy at work and get off work very late, so we don't have time..."

I waved my hand and glared at He Tiantian: "Damn it, you scared me. Is this really funny?"

He Tiantian stuck out her tongue: "Sorry, I was so excited that I wanted to call you to come. But I was afraid you wouldn't come, so I had to lie to you."

Snapped!

I slapped He Tiantian on the butt: "If there's a next time, I'll spank your butt until it's bruised and battered."

He Tiantian jumped away with a whoosh, her face as red as a monkey's bottom, glaring at me fiercely.

Teacher Yu and the others turned around and chuckled.

I smiled at the couple and said, "Don't mention it. Dr. He Tiantian is my fiancée. If anything happens to the child in the future, just ask her."

"You bastard, you're talking nonsense again! Who's your fiancée?" He Tiantian wanted to eat me alive.

"You're including me in your nonsense, but not in my own words?"

I gave a sinister smile: "If you try to scare me again, I'll tell you you're my wife, and we're married."

He Tiantian blushed and swung her stethoscope at me.

I hurriedly covered my head and begged for mercy: "Grandma, please have mercy! I was wrong, I won't do it again. Calm down, I'll treat you to a late-night snack."

"Calling her 'Grandma' would be more appropriate."

He Tiantian chuckled and pulled Teacher Yu and the others, saying, "Let's go eat at a fancy restaurant. We might as well take advantage of it."

Teacher Yu and Bai Lulu, both playful people, readily agreed.

Xue Meihua refused to go, shaking her head and saying, "Brother, I haven't been feeling well these past few days, so I won't go. You guys have fun."

I nodded and beckoned He Tiantian and the others to get in the car so we could find a place for a late-night snack.

Sanlichuan isn't a great commercial area, but it has plenty of places to eat and have fun.

Across from Jin Sangzi KTV, there is a seafood restaurant that specializes in seafood barbecue.

Although it's called a seafood restaurant, it's actually more like a street food stall, with seven or eight small tables set up on the roadside in front of it.

I led everyone to sit down, took out the menu, and let them order whatever they wanted.

He Tiantian was quite generous; she ordered some very ordinary dishes and didn't overcharge me.

I added some high-end ingredients: jellyfish, prawns, squid, and very plump abalone.

"Why order so much?" He Tiantian nudged me. "Abalone is very expensive."

"I don't have a wife, so what's the point of saving the money if I don't eat it?" I raised an eyebrow. "So, since I don't need a wife anyway, I might as well take it out and eat it."

He Tiantian rolled her eyes: "With your glib tongue, you'll have spent all your savings for your funeral and still won't have a wife."

Before we knew it, the food had been served.

Teacher Yu picked up a piece of abalone with her chopsticks and placed it in my bowl: "Thank you for the expense, Mr. Wang. Please have a taste."

"Thanks."

I took a bite of food, picked up my teacup, and said, "I can't drink alcohol these two days, so I'll drink tea instead."

I just drank the secret potion that makes me immune to alcohol yesterday, so I can't touch alcohol for the next couple of days.

He Tiantian was very dissatisfied: "You're treating, but your host doesn't drink. How are we guests supposed to drink? Are you being stingy and unwilling to spend money on drinks?"

I looked wary, arms crossed: "Tian Tian, ​​are you trying to get me drunk and force yourself on me? No way, my parents don't know about our relationship!"

Teacher Yu and Bai Lulu burst into laughter again.

He Tiantian gritted her teeth in anger, raised her glass: "Teacher Yu, Teacher Bai, drink up! Anyway, some bastard is paying, drink as much as you want!"

Teacher Yu also picked up his glass, grinning mischievously, "Since the hostess has spoken, why are we being so polite? Drink up!"

I chuckled. Teacher Yu, this is such a helpful assist!

He Tiantian was even more ashamed, on the verge of tears: "None of you are good people!"

This is the busiest time in Sanlichuan.

Several tables in front of the seafood restaurant were packed.

At the next table, a bald man with three blond-haired kids was also shouting and yelling.

They would occasionally stare at Teacher Yu and the others, but they didn't dare to go too far.

Judging from my demeanor, you could tell I'm not someone to mess with.

Half an hour later, He Tiantian and the other two were a little tipsy, and we chatted even more enthusiastically, with laughter and cheerful conversation.

Clang!

Suddenly, the sound of a bottle shattering rang out.

I turned my head and saw a bald guy at the next table, with three blond guys, causing trouble at the easternmost table.

At the table on the east side sat a man in his thirties and two young women.

I know that guy. He's a tenant in Building 27 named Zheng Laiyu, and he lives in room 306.

He seems to be a manager at some company, but I'm not very familiar with him.

At this moment, the bald man cursed and pointed at Zheng Laiyu and the two pretty girls: "Damn it, I'm doing you a favor by treating you to drinks. For trash like you, a hundred yuan for the whole night is the most I'd pay!"

The two little girls were so angry they were about to cry, and they tried to hide away.

Zheng Laiyu, who looked rather frail, pushed up his glasses and said, "Don't cause trouble! This is a society governed by law! If you dare to act recklessly, I'll sue you!"

Snapped!

A beer bottle was smashed onto Zheng Laiyu's skull, shattering it into pieces.

Zheng Laiyu's head was fine, but he was so frightened that he staggered backward and fell to the ground.

The other two blond-haired punks went up and kicked him.

"Someone's been killed! Help! Call the police for us..." Zheng Laiyu's two female companions screamed.

"stop!"

I shouted and walked over: "Stop it, all of you! Don't fight! I'm from the security team!"

I am indeed a member of the security team, and I still am, with a work permit given to me by Sanlichuan.

The bald man was taken aback and frowned as he looked at me.

Zheng Laiyu also grasped at this straw, standing up while clutching his head, pointing at the bald man and shouting, "Landlord, they're being indecent! They're hitting people... Landlord, please call the police for me!"

Damn it, I'm the head of the local police station, and you're calling me the landlord?

Can the landlord's status keep these bastards in check?

Sure enough, the bald man smiled and beckoned three blond-haired men to surround me.

"The landlord, right?"

The bald man chuckled coldly: "Impersonating the security team, huh? Why don't you impersonate the police chief? You think I'm easily intimidated?"

I glanced around and waved my hand, saying, "Bald guy, let's talk this out, don't fight!"
