A life of success begins with being a landlord.

Judging from the source of the sound, it does indeed seem to be coming from the direction of apartment 302 in building 27.

But my and Sister Li's apartment 302 is now unoccupied.

Just as I was wondering what was going on, there was a loud crash, and the north-facing window of apartment 402 shattered, with shards falling onto the street.

"Damn, it's 402, Huang Aijun's apartment!" I shook my head and sighed. "It must be some infighting among you pyramid scheme members, probably over the division of spoils!"

The old squad leader grinned: "Brother Zu, I'm not a pyramid scheme operator, you are. You spent three thousand nine hundred and bought a rocking machine."

Damn it, who said the old squad leader was kind? Why bring up something he shouldn't have said? He's deliberately trying to expose his shortcomings and slap him in the face!

I glared at him: "Are you mocking me? Aren't you going to go see?"

The old squad leader nodded and went to check.

I lit a cigarette and waited downstairs, while also calling Gao Jianfeng to tell him to get back here.

This guy should have taken Sun Tingting out to have some fun after lunch; I haven't seen him.

A few minutes later, several people ran out of the opposite building's stairwell.

Then, Huang Aijun and his group also came out.

The beautiful manager, Ms. Fang, was clutching her stomach, looking pained. Her clothes, especially her chest and abdomen, were stained with blood.

Huang Aijun was also bruised and swollen, completely losing his usual domineering CEO demeanor.

I went over and asked, "Mr. Huang, Manager Fang, what's wrong?"

I bought a Shuang Er Kang rocking machine for 3,900 yuan; Manager Fang signed the contract with me. Nominally, I am still a subordinate of General Manager Huang and Manager Fang, a proud and glorious Shuang Er Kang business partner.

Therefore, I must pay attention to my immediate supervisor, General Manager Huang, and Manager Fang.

"Don't even mention it. Someone's causing trouble and trying to fight us." Huang Aijun shook his head, took out his phone, and called an ambulance.

"Manager Fang, is the injury serious? Should we give him some first aid?" I asked Manager Fang with concern.

You should know that ambulances in Dongguan are very slow.

There are too many unexpected events every day, so we can't keep up.

Manager Fang was so beautiful, it's such a pity that she passed away so young.

"I was stabbed by a broken bottle..." Manager Fang's face was deathly pale, and he trembled, "It was half a broken bottle... stuck in my stomach..."

"You should be fine, you won't die. Calm down." I reassured Manager Fang, then called to Huang Aijun, "Don't call an ambulance, get in my car, I'll take you to the hospital."

A broken beer bottle generally won't kill someone because it's not sharp enough to penetrate deeply.

Manager Fang was overjoyed: "Wang Yaozu, thank you so much!"

"I'm your downline, you're your upline. We're all business partners at Shuang Er Kang, it's only right."

I rolled my eyes, led them into the car, and said, "Keep the wound covered, don't get blood all over my car."

Manager Fang nodded repeatedly: "Understood, understood."

A dozen minutes later, we arrived at the Second Hospital.

Huang Aijun and the others got off the bus, and I was fine.

Just as I was about to turn around, I saw Luo Hongyu walking out of the hospital on crutches.

I thought about it for a moment, then drove over and rolled down the window: "What, you've been discharged?"

"Wang Yaozu, it's you!" Luo Hongyu exclaimed with delight, skipping over. "Open the door quickly and take me to Wuwei Alley..."

You think you're some kind of goddess, asking me to open the door?

I sneered, "You're really dedicated. You've broken a leg, and you still want to do business in Wuwei Lane?"

"You're talking nonsense! I live in Wuwei Lane. If I don't go there, am I supposed to stay at your place?" Luo Hongyu knew I wasn't being nice, so she glared at me and cursed.

I gestured backward with my chin: "Get in the car yourself!"

Luo Hongyu sighed, opened the door, and got into the car.

I didn't say anything, I just kept driving.

Upon reaching the entrance of Wuwei Alley, Luo Hongyu stopped the car but didn't get out. She sighed and said, "Wang Yaozu, I know you look down on me. But we're classmates, can't we talk properly?"

"We're classmates, of course I'll speak nicely to you." I paused for a moment, then continued, "But right now, you're just a shampoo girl. Let's talk about classmate feelings again when you're no longer in this line of work."

"I quit this job, can you help me find another one?"

Luo Hongyu covered her face: "I can't go home, I can only find a way out here. You're very capable, please help me."

I turned my head and remained silent for a long time before asking, "Do you know why Sister Liang was arrested?"

Luo Hongyu was taken aback: "Isn't this a surprise operation?"

"No, I arranged it."

"What? You arranged this?" Luo Hongyu was shocked!

I lit a cigarette: "I had a classmate named Hu Xiaogang, who was in the same year as us, studying in the humanities class. Do you know him? He's Sister Li's younger brother, and we're like brothers, we've played together since we were little. Because of Liang Laosi, Hu Xiaogang was sentenced to three and a half years."

Luo Hongyu stared wide-eyed, astonished, as I told her the story.

A few minutes later, I finished telling Hu Xiaogang's story.

Luo Hongyu shook her head repeatedly: "So all of this was orchestrated by you... Aren't you afraid that if Sister Liang San finds out about this, and Brother Liang Laosi comes after you for revenge?"

"Don't worry, because Liang Laosi has already knelt down before me." I then recounted the events of the past two days.

"Wang Yaozu, you're amazing, a true master."

Luo Hongyu was very excited: "From now on, I'll follow you. Whatever you tell me to do, I'll do it, as long as it makes money!"

"Whoever pays the most is my mother"—that's the true nature of a shampoo girl. As long as you pay, she won't care how old or ugly you are!

"You don't need to work for me. I'll find you a job with a higher salary."

I sighed and said, "Go downstairs. Come find me when your leg is better."

"Thank you." Luo Hongyu smiled and got out of the car.

Back in Sanlichuan, I rallied my spirits and continued to revise Jin Sangzi and Yin Meiduo. I took Xie Xia and Shen Yuerong with me and we patrolled the premises, standardizing the work processes and service attitudes of the security guards and technicians.

After dinner, I suddenly received a call from Ke Cailian, who told me that Master Zhongyun had returned.

I was overjoyed and immediately contacted Huo Yandong to ask him to arrange a time as soon as possible.

Coincidentally, there's a promotional event for Peninsula Slope next week.

Huo Yandong said, "Brother, the Taoist priest wants one million, money is not a problem. However, the Taoist priest must demonstrate his skills to convince us before we will willingly give him the money."

I pondered for a moment and said, "Don't worry, Boss Huo, the Taoist priest isn't a fool. Since he's asking for a million, he'll make sure you're willing to pay."

One million is no small sum; Daoist Zhongyun should know that this money is not easy to obtain!

After hanging up with Huo Yandong, I contacted Ke Cailian and told her to invite the Taoist priest to the on-site promotional event at Peninsula Slope next Thursday. Huo Yandong arranged a car, and I took him to pick up the Taoist priest a day in advance.

Ke Cailian agreed, then asked me, "Since I'm acting as a middleman, will I get paid for my work?"

Is pimping hard work, and do you even get paid for it?

I laughed and said, "Master, you've earned a million. I could give you more than you can spend. Don't bother with the reward. I'll treat you to a meal to express my gratitude after this is all over."

Ke Cailian snorted and hung up the phone.

I shrugged, flipped through Jin Sangzi's account book, and analyzed the recent transaction records.

A few minutes later, the phone rang again; it was a number from Chunyan's hometown.

I was so excited that I quickly answered the phone: "Chunyan, is that you? Is it you or Sister Li?"

"Old Wang, I've missed you so much! How have you been lately...?" Chunyan chattered on the phone, her voice trembling with a hint of tears.

"Chunyan, is that really you? I'm fine, and I miss you all so much!"

I was happy too: "Is the house finished yet? When are you coming to Dongguan? I'll pick you up at Gangzhou Railway Station!"

"The house is under construction and won't be ready for another month." Chunyan sniffed. "By the way, Lao Wang, there's something I need to tell you."
