A life of success begins with being a landlord.

I nodded and said calmly, "Someone tipped off Liang Laosi about me dealing with Liang Sanjie. Otherwise, Liang Laosi wouldn't have known it was me."

Niu Jie hurriedly shook his head: "Anyway, it wasn't me. I know nothing about what you guys did back in your hometown."

"I know it wasn't you, because Sister Liang didn't know that Hu Xiaogang and I are brothers. She also didn't know that Hu Xiaogang's sister is in Dongguan and with me."

I sneered, "Tell Liang Laosi to hand over the person who tipped him off, and I'll call it even!"

"That works too, let me ask."

Niu Jie pondered, "Let me think... Among Liang Sanjie's subordinates, there are several women from your hometown. Could it be those women who told Liang Laosi?"

"Impossible. Even Sister Liang San doesn't know about my relationship with Hu Xiaogang, how could her people know?"

I shook my head decisively.

I also suspected Luo Hongyu, but after a simple analysis, I ruled her out.

She didn't know Hu Xiaogang, nor did she know about the relationship between Hu Xiaogang and Liang Laosi.

To prove his innocence, Niu Jie called Liang Laosi again in person to ask him questions.

The call connected, and Niu Jie conveyed my meaning: "Liang Laosi, who tipped you off and betrayed Brother Zu? Hand over this person, and Brother Zu can forgive everything and get your Third Sister out of trouble."

"No one tipped me off; I figured it out myself."

Liang Laosi said with a hint of smugness, "Even if someone tipped me off, I wouldn't betray my friends. We're all in this together, right?"

I gave him a thumbs up: "Great, you're a real man!"

Niu Jie smiled wryly and hung up the phone.

I waved my hand at Niu Jie: "This matter is off the table. Tell Liang Laosi to show him what else he's got up his sleeve. We'll settle this once and for all. Either it'll be me or him; one of us will have to kneel down and talk!"

"Brother Zu, don't be angry. I'll deal with him when we get back. That bastard is really outrageous!"

Niu Jie bowed and scraped, offering apologies repeatedly, before leaving with a sigh.

I went downstairs to check out the area, including the Gintoki and the arcade, and maybe even played a game.

I was lucky and won more than a dozen coins!

Qian Yuhuai called again, saying that a guest had come looking for him.

When I returned to Jin Sangzi and saw the two customers, I was immediately overwhelmed!

She is Lan Xin, the younger sister of Sister Lü and Aunt Lan.

These two vixens have called me many times to ask me out, but I've always made excuses to decline.

Unexpectedly, they stormed my stronghold.

There's no escaping it now.

Lan Xin was still posing as an intellectual, with bangs that reached her eyebrows, glasses, and a long skirt; her overall style leaned towards simple and pure.

I must say, she really looks younger this way, like a college student or a young teacher.

Sister Lü looked very stylish today, wearing a tank top, a super short pencil skirt, and black stockings.

One's flirtatious, the other's secretly flirtatious!

Sister Lü patted my shoulder: "Mr. Wang, you're so busy every day."

"Yes, Sister Lü, Sister Xin, you're both very busy every day." I chuckled dryly, "What brings you to this small place like Sanlichuan today?"

"Would you be welcome to sing and drink?" Lan Xin raised an eyebrow at me.

"Welcome, welcome!"

I raised my hand: "Sister Xin, Sister Lü, please. Everything today is on me! Waiter, get me a medium-sized private room...bring me some wine and a fruit platter!"

They've all come looking for me, I can't just not welcome them.

Sister Lü and Lan Xin, afraid I would run away, flanked me on either side, each holding one of my arms: "We'll pay for our own expenses, but we want Mr. Wang to personally accompany us for drinks."

You want me to drink with you? I was speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

I'm neither a technician nor a waiter, why should I accompany someone to drink chicken neck wine?

Lan Xin grinned mischievously: "We'll give you a tip."

I gave a wry smile: "Alright, Sister Xin, I'll risk my life to accompany these beauties today, I'll make sure you're satisfied."

If you really want to play, I'm happy to play along, and I'm not afraid of you!

Once inside the private room, the atmosphere changes completely as soon as the lights are turned on and the door is closed.

Bathed in the glow of the neon lights, the two bewitching women appeared even more alluring and seductive.

Sister Lü sang first, Zhou Huajian's "Sleepless Nights": "Thinking of you in the dark nights, thinking of your face, I toss and turn, unable to sleep... You can't sleep either, you still long for me to appear..."

He sang very well, quite professionally.

After Sister Lü finished singing, Lan Xin pulled me aside for a love song duet: "The heart of the flower is hidden in its stamen, never easily moved..."

Fine, I'll sing, but I also have to drink a toast with you. Sigh!

In fact, there is no need to force someone to drink in this kind of situation.

Wine doesn't intoxicate people; people intoxicate themselves.

If a man and a woman have even the slightest attraction to each other, it's very easy for things to escalate to a point of no return here.

After singing for an hour and drinking two bottles of foreign liquor, everyone completely let loose.

Sister Lü leaned softly against me, saying she was a little tired, and asked if I had a place to rest.

There's a hidden door at the back of the private room; push it open and you'll find a small room where you can rest as you please.

I brought Sister Lü inside and acted as her masseuse, giving her a massage.

The service lasted forty minutes, and Ms. Lü was very satisfied. She got up, dressed, and said with a smile, "Alright, Mr. Wang, your technique was excellent. I'm going to the restroom... Ouch, my stockings are all dirty..."

I smoked a cigarette, nodding and smiling.

As soon as Sister Lü left, Lan Xin came in, sat down next to me, and whispered with a smile, "Are you tired? Are you alright?"

"No problem, Sister Xin."

I threw away my cigarette butt, adopted a professional attitude, and served Lanxin again.

I'm really going all out for Jin Sangzi's business, even personally acting as a technician!

Dao Zai Xiong should acknowledge me as his godfather in order to repay my kindness!

At 8 p.m., Sister Lü and Lan Xin had finished having fun, turned off the music in the private room, and came to me to talk about serious business: starting a company together to do material recycling.

I patted Lanxin's bottom: "Lanxin, I have no objection to you guys wanting to go into partnership. But I don't have any money, so you'll have to raise the funds. First, we need a site, a factory, and a warehouse. Including working capital for the business, we'll need at least ten million."

"You brat, you called me Ah Xin?" Lan Xin slapped me.

"Stop fooling around. You just called me brother, my own brother, and Sister Lü heard it too."

I rolled my eyes, controlling Lan Xin and manipulating her: "Solve the funding problem first, then we can talk about cooperation."

You want to cooperate with me even if you have no money? Trying to get something for nothing? No way!

Sister Lü pouted: "We may not have money, but we have connections, which is why we're looking to cooperate with you."

"Little Lu, you're trying to squeeze every last drop out of me."

I pinched Sister Lü's waist and sighed, "Tell me, you two vixens, how much money are you planning to make?"

Once the window paper is broken, I will act without restraint.

What Sister Lü and Sister Xin? They're all little sisters!

From this moment forward, I am their conqueror, not their slave!

"You're such a naughty boy, but I like it." Sister Lü chuckled playfully.

"Lanxin and I don't have time to manage your business. Once we help you get it up and running, it's your responsibility to manage it. Just give us a small share of the profits each year."

As expected, Sister Lü and Lan Xin only wanted to be hands-off managers, not contributing any money, but only thinking about getting a share of the profits.

Lan Xin quoted a price: "Five hundred thousand a year, no problem, right? If you can't close the deal, we'll take care of it for you."
