A life of success begins with being a landlord.

I suppressed my anger and said calmly, "Kuai Dafa, did you go to Zhucheng again? Have you run out of money? Will you have any phone credit left if you call tomorrow?"

Spending money like Kuai Dafa will soon become unsustainable.

Phone calls cost money, travel expenses cost money, and food, drinks, and lodging while traveling all cost money.

I estimate that his harassment will stop soon.

Kuai Dafa cursed, "If you don't compensate me for my losses, you'll never have a peaceful life. I'm going to your and Hu Xiaoli's hometown right now and post posters everywhere saying that Hu Xiaoli was selling herself outside, got a lot of diseases, and is afraid to go home..."

"Go ahead, you little brat!" I hung up the phone.

That bastard Kuai Dafa has caused me too much trouble; I really need to deal with him.

However, compared to a tiger, Kuai Dafa is merely a minor ailment.

Tigers are treacherous and ruthless; they are the real threat!

With nothing much to do that evening, I met with Qian Yuhuai, Xie Xia, Shen Yuerong, and others to discuss a promotional event to attract customers.

Xie Xia suggested holding a half-price promotion.

Shen Yuerong suggested holding a big lucky draw with special offers.

Qian Yuhuai was worried about losing money, so he didn't want to do anything and just wanted to get by.

After thinking about it, I made the decision: "Let's have a half-price promotion for three days. Everyone should put in their best effort and boost our business."

In addition, I also planned an event where I would give away free drinks.

Disguise the medicinal wine I brewed as foreign liquor, dilute it a bit, and give each customer who comes here a cup.

After drinking my wine, they'll feel rejuvenated and have a great time. They'll definitely come back next time!

Wouldn't that take off the business?

After the meeting, Shen Yuerong followed me to my office and laughed, "President Wang, you're so naughty."

I was puzzled: "I was doing this for business, wanting everyone to make more money, how did that make me a bad person?"

Shen Yuerong leaned close to my ear and whispered, "Have you considered our feelings? The guests drank your wine, and then they were all full of energy, and we..."

I suddenly realized what was going on and hugged Shen Yuerong: "Sister Rong, let's all work a little harder to earn money."

But once I hugged her, Shen Yuerong became attached to me.

Before we knew it, we had entered the lounge.

Perhaps it was premeditated, a tacit understanding. In any case, it all happened naturally, like water flowing into a channel.

……

Fifty minutes later, Shen Yuerong lit a cigarette and smoked it with me, asking, "President Wang, did you drink the medicinal wine tonight? That medicinal wine of yours is really potent."

"My body and age don't require drugs, do they?" I smiled. "Sister Rong, do you have a husband?"

"You're so mean! Aren't you my husband? Why are you asking? Trying to renege on your promise?" Shen Yuerong pinched me.

"Alright, I'll be your husband from now on. Let's get our marriage certificate tomorrow, come home with me to farm, have a few sons—one to herd cattle, one to raise ducks, and one to raise geese..."

"Can't we have two successful children who will become officials and get rich in the future?" Shen Yuerong laughed heartily.

"No problem, let's have two more successful children, one as prime minister and the other as marshal!" I said seriously.

My intimate moment with Shen Yuerong today was purely accidental.

However, it felt pretty good.

It was past 3 a.m. when we got back to Hongxing Village.

The next morning when I got up, I suddenly remembered that there were still a few cell phones in the car, so I took two and gave them to Sister Li as a favor.

She can give it to whomever she likes.

At nine o'clock in the morning, I went to Sanlichuan Police Station again to deliver two bottles of medicinal wine to Director Nie and to talk about Kuai Dafa's matter.

Nie laughed and said, "No problem. Go back and organize the materials, like witness statements and recordings. I'll request that the case be filed, and then send an official letter to Kuai Dafa's hometown. I guarantee he'll be scared out of his wits and behave himself from now on."

I nodded and returned to Hongxing Village, asking Erxia to help me organize the materials.

Moreover, I arranged for Ye Xiaotian to immediately fly to Kuai Dafa's hometown, contact Ding Zhili's relatives, and secretly post missing person notices in Kuai Dafa's village at night, spreading the news that Kuai Dafa was being pursued for debts, thus putting pressure on Kuai Dafa.

With one black and one white path, I believe we can keep Kuai Dafa in check!

I have three cell phones here. I gave one to the old squad leader and one to Ye Xiaotian.

I plan to give the last one to He Tiantian or Teacher Bai Lulu.

At noon, I treated Teacher Yu, Bai Lulu, He Tiantian, and Xue Meihua to lunch at Changhong Restaurant in Sanlichuan.

Teacher Yu joked, "Why are you being so polite? Are you trying to woo He Tiantian, or Teacher Bai Lulu?"

He Tiantian and Bai Lulu both blushed slightly.

I declared righteously, "Teacher Yu, don't look down on me. I'm not that kind of person. I have no intention of pursuing He Tiantian, nor do I intend to pursue Teacher Bai Lulu. I have lofty ambitions; I plan to pursue both of them..."

Teacher Yu burst out laughing.

He Tiantian and Bai Lulu simultaneously raised their small fists and started punching me wildly: "You scumbag, shameless!"

Just then, Zhang Bazi called and asked me to meet him at Jin Sangzi, saying it was urgent!

I had no choice but to let the ladies eat first while I headed to Jin Sang Zi.

Zhang Bazi, all alone, booked a small private room on the third floor. He lay in the corner of the sofa, looking like a rat from the underworld, but with a sinister glint in his eyes.

"Scarface, what's the emergency?" I sat down and offered Scarface a cigarette.

"Someone's going to kill you tonight!" Zhang Bazi whispered.

"Kill me tonight?" I was shocked. "Who?"

I'm in Dongguan. Although I've offended some people, it's not to the point of wanting to kill me, is it?

We've already reached an agreement with Liang Laosi and Liang Sanjie. I've let Liang Sanjie start her business again, and we've also agreed to cooperate in the future, expand our business, and make money together.

So they have no reason to cut me!

As for Kuai Dafa, although he hates me to the core, he doesn't have the money to hire someone to kill me.

Hiring someone to kill me would cost at least 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, right? My life must be worth at least a couple of dollars, right?

Zhang Bazi was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I don't know who's behind this. I only know that it's a group of swordsmen from western Guangdong, planning to kill you on the way tonight!"

Swordsman?

I thought for a moment and asked, "The 'Guangxi swordsmen' you mentioned, are they the group that attacked your brother in Sanlichuan last time?"

Zhang the Scarface nodded: "Yes, it's them. They also took money from other people, and you shouldn't have any grudge against them."

I smoked, my hands trembling, cold sweat beading on my back: "Scarface, how did you know about this?"

"Those people in western Guangdong aren't a monolithic group. I've planted an informant among them." Zhang Bazi adjusted his posture. "Originally, this was supposed to be top secret, but by chance, I found out beforehand."

"Then... will you help me?"

"How can I help you? Help you collect your body?" Zhang Bazi asked in return.

"I..." I threw down my cigarette butt and stomped on it: "Those gang of swordsmen from western Guangdong are fighting you for territory. Aren't you going to deal with them?"

I'm worried that Zhang Bazi is using me as a pawn to frame me, so that both I and the Western Guangdong Swordsmen will suffer heavy losses.

So I did something underhanded to test Zhang Bazi's reaction.
