A life of success begins with being a landlord.

"The back seat... looks good." I said honestly.

"You little rascal, you've really gone bad." Sister Li reached out and tugged at my ear: "Don't look at things you shouldn't see, it's pointless to look anyway."

Erxia walked in, giving her a mischievous smirk: "Stop flirting, let's go!"

Erxia is worried about us and wants to come with us tonight's negotiations.

Just then, Daozai Xiong called and told me and Sister Li to arrive promptly at 6:30 pm.

"Let's go!" I waved.

My car isn't fixed yet, so I have to take a taxi there.

At six o'clock sharp, I arrived at the Jinlong Hotel with Sister Li and Erxia.

But to our surprise, the tiger was there too, waiting for us in the lobby downstairs.

When Erxia saw the tiger, her face immediately turned red, and anger flared in her eyes.

What a small world! I never expected that Erxia and Tiger would run into each other.

Upon seeing Erxia, Tiger's expression changed slightly, but quickly returned to normal. He greeted me, "Brother Zu, Sister Li, you're here? Brother Xiong instructed that only Sister Li and Brother Zu can go up; no one else is allowed."

I turned around and saw the hatred in Erxia's eyes. I shook my head and said, "Erxia, I'll call you a taxi. You should go home first."

If we leave Erxia here, she'll probably have a fit and start cursing at the tiger.

Erxia shook her head: "No need, I'll wait for you here."

The tiger grinned and said, "Erxia, you can go back first, it's alright."

"Erxia, are you insulting me?" Tiger's face darkened.

"I'm cursing you as a beast, worse than a pig or a dog!" Erxia said fearlessly, pointing at the tiger, "One day, I'll cut you into a thousand pieces!"

"You filthy bitch, you want to die!"

Enraged, the tiger stepped forward and swung its hand at Erxia's face.

I got there first and bumped into him with my shoulder.

boom!

The tiger lost its footing and stumbled back several steps.

I didn't use my full strength just now, otherwise I would have sent the tiger flying.

"Brother Zu, you—!" Tiger's face turned red, and his eyes blazed with fire.

He wanted to take action, but he didn't dare.

"Tiger, don't attack!" I spread my arms, standing between the two, and said to Sister Li, "Sister Li, go to the entrance and hail a taxi to get Erxia into it!"

Sister Li hurriedly hugged Erxia and pushed her forcefully towards the door, saying in a low voice, "Erxia, I'm talking about something important today, please give me some face..."

Erxia then shut up and left the hall.

I patted Tiger on the shoulder and sighed, "Brother Tiger, to be honest, what you did in the past really offended Erxia. A real man should be more magnanimous and not hold it against Erxia."

Tiger gritted his teeth: "Fine, I'll give Brother Zu face."

Thank you!

I nodded, turned around and went to the hotel entrance to see Erxia into the car.

The taxi arrived, and I told Erxia to go back first.

As Erxia got into the taxi, she suddenly burst into tears: "Sister Li, Brother Zu, I'm so sorry, I couldn't control my temper..."

I waved my hand: "It's alright, let's go back now."

After watching the taxi drive away, Sister Li and I turned around and went into the hotel.

Tiger was still unhappy, his face dark, and he led me and Sister Li to the door of the private room on the second floor without saying a word.

I don't care about tigers either.

With his current abilities, he can't touch me.

Pushing open the door to the private room, I found it empty.

I turned to Tiger and asked, "What's wrong? Xiong Ge hasn't arrived yet?"

"Brother Xiong said he'll be here right away."

"Okay." I nodded and gestured for Sister Li to find a place to sit.

Sister Li sat down and lit a cigarette.

Not long after, Dao Zixiong arrived, bringing Li Hanwen and Yuan Guizhen with him.

This was the first time I had seen Li Hanwen. Apart from being dressed smartly, he was just an unremarkable middle-aged man.

He is 1.7 meters tall, has ordinary features, and his eyes are shifty.

In terms of demeanor and temperament, he is far inferior to Hong Kong businessman Fok Yin-tung.

"Brother Xiong".

I nodded at Daozai Xiong and forced a smile: "I'm sorry to have taken up your time, bothering you back and forth over such a trivial matter."

I completely ignore Li Hanwen and Yuan Guizhen, pretending not to see them.

"Haha, we're all on the same side, it's only right."

Dao Zaixiong laughed and pointed at Li Hanwen and Yuan Guizhen: "This is Mr. Li from the Hong Kong government, and Mrs. Yuan."

I chuckled. "I've met Mrs. Yuan before. This is my first time meeting Boss Li. So... he's just an ordinary person."

Yuan Guizhen still looked arrogant, glancing sideways at the ceiling.

Li Hanwen sighed and shook hands with me.

You bastard, are you looking for death?

I grabbed Li Hanwen's hand and held it tightly.

"Ouch, ouch..." Li Hanwen cried out in pain and forcefully pulled his hand away.

Daozai Xiong frowned as he looked at me and shook his head slightly.

"Sorry, I'm just a farmer from the countryside, I'm a bit clumsy." I smiled faintly.

Li Hanwen glared at me, pulled out a chair, and let his wife sit down.

Yuan Guizhen then sat down and looked coldly at Sister Li.

Sister Li stared at Yuan Guizhen, like two hens fighting fiercely...

"Haha... It's not easy for everyone to sit together."

Dao Zai Xiong chuckled dryly and tried to smooth things over, saying, "How about we order some food and drinks? We can eat and chat at the same time."

Yuan Guizhen refused outright: "No need, I'm not used to eating with country folk."

Dao Zixiong was a little embarrassed and gave a nonsensical laugh.

I laughed and said, "Sister Li and I don't like eating with older people either. They smell like old people, it's hard to describe, but it's really unpleasant, like excrement!"

Sister Li was delighted to hear this and laughed, "Yes, we young people have different tastes from the elderly. The elderly are afraid of spicy food, and they prefer their food to be stewed until very soft, which we can't get used to."

boom!

Yuan Guizhen, unable to bear it any longer, slammed her hand on the table and stood up: "You surnamed Wang, Hu Xiaoli, haven't you had enough?"

"Oh, Aunt Yuan, don't be angry."

With a sincere smile, I said, "Older people must never get angry. Getting emotional can easily lead to a brain hemorrhage. If something happens to your health, I'm afraid Boss Li... will go after his younger wife."

"You, you...you bastard!" Yuan Guizhen was so angry she was practically spitting fire, wishing she could bite me to death.

"Alright, bro!"

Suddenly, Dao Zixiong shouted and stood up: "Stop arguing, all of you, and listen to me."

The private room fell silent.

I lit a cigarette and fiddled with the lighter in my hand.

"Since you've asked me to mediate, I won't waste any more words and will get straight to the point."

Dao Zixiong took a deep breath: "What I mean is, the house at No. 27 Sanlichuan belongs to Hu Xiaoli from now on. Li Hanwen and his wife shall sign a written agreement that they can never take it back."

Li Jie and I exchanged a glance but didn't say anything.

"Why? That building is worth millions!"

Yuan Guizhen exclaimed, "Sleeping with a man for years, having a son, and all you get is a new apartment building? Where in the world is there such a good deal?"

Sister Li wanted to get angry, but I held her back.

Dao Zixiong frowned: "Sister-in-law Yuan, are you going to let me speak or not? If you don't let me speak, I'm completely ignoring this!"

That coward Li Hanwen grabbed Yuan Guizhen and pleaded in a low voice, "Please let Ah Xiong finish speaking, let's discuss it slowly..."

Yuan Guizhen then shut up and sat down again.
