A life of success begins with being a landlord.

The man in black ignored me and raised an eyebrow at me: "Let's go, bro, I'll go with you to get the car."

Having no other choice, I could only nod and say, "Thank you very much, brother."

I arrived at the parking lot with two men in black, took out my keys to unlock the car, opened the door, and laughed, "Look, brother, I'm not drunk. I can go home by myself, really."

The two men in black didn't say a word. One opened the car door and got into the back seat, while the other sat in the passenger seat.

I sighed, got into the driver's seat, and started driving.

The rearview mirror shows the man in black with one hand inside his chest, clearly holding a weapon.

I drove off leisurely, chuckling awkwardly, "Brother, please apologize to your boss for the misunderstanding tonight when you get back. I... came here unintentionally tonight, and there were many things... I didn't expect."

If I don't step forward tonight, Mei Hongju will lose face on the spot.

But because I stood up for myself, I got myself into this mess!

This is what it means to be caught in the web of life and not be in control of your own destiny.

The man in black in the passenger seat looked at me and asked calmly, "Is Prince Mei your boss? You work for him?"

"No." I shook my head.

"This is the third time I've met Mei Hongju. We've drunk together before, and he knows I can hold my liquor, so he asked me to come and drink with his friends."

"So where do you work?" the man in black asked again.

"Brother, I'm a businessman, a small businessman..." I sighed. "Mei Hongju invited me to have a drink, and I couldn't refuse. You all know that in Dongguan."

"Understood. Pull over." The man in black nodded.

I was secretly delighted; it seemed they were going to let me go.

"Brother, do you want me to take you back?" I quickly pulled over and offered my help.

"No need, we have a car behind us." Two men in black got out of the car.

That's when I noticed there was an SUV following behind.

It seems this Golden-Faced Buddha wields considerable power, having so many followers even in Dongguan!

I dare not linger in this dangerous place.

I hurriedly drove away, and only breathed a sigh of relief after driving three or four miles and seeing that no one was following me.

Back in Sanlichuan, I didn't go to Jin Sangzi, but I went back to 302.

No one lives in this house now, and it's not often ventilated. Plus, there are a few jars of medicinal wine inside, so the air quality isn't very good.

I opened the window to let in some fresh air, lit a cigarette, and called Daozai Xiong to tell him about what happened tonight.

"Holy crap, a golden-faced Buddha..."

Upon hearing the name of the Golden-Faced Buddha, Dao Zixiong was greatly surprised: "Brother, you really saw the Golden-Faced Buddha? He's a big shot in Gangzhou City, a figure who commands respect throughout Guangdong and Guangxi."

I gave a wry smile: "He said it himself, his name is Golden-Faced Buddha. At that time, Mei Hongju was so frightened that he couldn't speak and his face turned pale."

"Mei Hongju is powerful in Dongguan, but he's no match for the Golden-Faced Buddha. You know, the Golden-Faced Buddha could kill Mei Hongju with ease!" Dao Zai Xiong sighed.

"Brother, you've offended the Golden-Faced Buddha. Be careful these next few days. I've heard he's ruthless and always seeks revenge."

I thought for a moment: "It should be fine, right? He said on the spot that he wouldn't pursue the matter further. A big shot like him should keep his word, right?"

"Logically speaking, that's how it should be, but you should still be careful." Daozai Xiong sighed and hung up the phone.

I shrugged, shook my head, and decided not to think about it.

In the few months since I arrived in Dongguan, I have experienced several life-or-death crises, but I have always escaped unscathed.

I think I'm still a bit lucky.

It's raining outside the window, a light drizzle.

I was just about to go to Jin Sangzi to continue to improve their service when the phone rang. It was Teacher Yu calling.

I was a little surprised and laughed, "Teacher Yu, you haven't rested yet?"

"Mr. Wang, things are really bad here, we can't sleep at all."

Teacher Yu complained to me, "We live on the second floor, and the floor is damaged; it leaks every time it rains. Tian Tian and Xue Meihua's rooms are the same; they leak terribly... I was wondering if you had any room for us to stay for the night?"

Are the conditions at the gifted school really that difficult?

I laughed and said, "Teacher Yu, how about I come over and help you fix your house?"

Teacher Yu smiled and asked, "Can you do it?"

"I'm the leak-sealing expert, you just wait!" I hung up the phone, went downstairs, and headed to the Elite School.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and there was thunder and lightning.

I drove to the Elite School.

He Tiantian was waiting for me in front of the medical room. Teacher Yu, Bai Lulu, and Xue Meihua were all there.

I parked the car and ran towards the medical room in the rain, laughing, "What, planning to spend the night in the medical room?"

The medical room is downstairs, so it's not leaky, but it's too small and doesn't have beds, so it's impossible for four people to stay there.

He Tiantian said smugly, "Anyway, my medical room doesn't leak, so I can sleep here. Teacher Yu is in a bad situation; she has nowhere to sleep."

Teacher Yu sighed, "Yes, an old woman no one wants, that's just how it is."

I suddenly remembered that Teacher Yu was already divorced. It was probably He Tiantian's words that unintentionally touched a sore spot for her.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, let me take a look around your rooms first."

I comforted Teacher Yu, saying, "I'll invite a few philanthropic entrepreneurs to donate some money to repair your roof another day."

Repairing the roof shouldn't cost much.

I can ask Aunt Lan to help me do charity work again. Even if Sister Li and I contribute money, it should be enough to cover tens of thousands of yuan.

Teacher Yu smiled and said, "I knew it, Mr. Wang would care about us."

"I..." That sentence completely stumped me.

Shouldn't the topic of whether you feel sorry for someone be discussed quietly?

Bai Lulu and Xue Meihua smiled.

Teacher Yu laughed and said, "Let's go, Mr. Wang, I'll take you to visit our Water Curtain Cave, where we female monkeys live."

A mother monkey's water curtain cave? That's an interesting analogy!

Bai Lulu rolled her eyes: "You're the mother monkey."

Teacher Yu scoffed, "We're already living in the Water Curtain Cave, and we're still not female monkeys?"

We followed the corridor and went up the stairs to the second floor.

Teacher Yu walked ahead, climbing the stairs step by step, her whole body moving rhythmically, her beautiful figure catching my eye.

I suddenly exclaimed, "Teacher Yu has such a great figure... I can't get enough of looking at her."

Teacher Yu was taken aback, then turned around and smiled, "Mr. Wang, are you... confessing your feelings to me?"

"No, Teacher Yu, I'm just telling the truth. Your figure is amazing."

"You mean you have a good figure but a bad face, right?"

"No, no, no, she has a great figure, and everything else about her is beautiful," I stammered.

"Have you seen it anywhere else?" Teacher Yu chuckled.

I was stumped again. After thinking for a while, I replied, "Seeing Teacher Yu's great figure, you can imagine what the rest of her body is like."

"Oh, so you just imagined it."

Teacher Yu smiled, took my hand, and continued upstairs.

This time, walking side by side, I couldn't appreciate Teacher Yu's figure anymore.

Teacher Yu and Xue Meihua shared a room.

As soon as I opened the door, I heard the sound of water tinkling.

That's because the roof is leaking, and they're using basins to catch the water underneath.

There were five or six plastic basins of various sizes on the floor and bed in the room to collect water, and even Teacher Yu's little toilet was used!

Teacher Yu looked at me with a helpless expression: "Look, how can anyone live in this godforsaken place? Sometimes when it rains for days on end, the house smells musty."
