A life of success begins with being a landlord.

Liu Haomei put down the hairdryer and broke the awkward silence: "By the way, Brother Wang, you drank tonight, didn't you? Let me pour you a cup of tea."

"I had a little, I'm fine."

I sat down on the sofa, turned on the TV, and prepared to watch DVDs to pass the time.

Liu Haomei brought over a cup of tea, then sat down next to me, hesitatingly saying, "Oh, right, Brother Wang, there's something else..."

"What is it? Tell me."

I'm prepared to be a good person this time and help them to the end.

"It's Bobo's place, could you come with me?"

Liu Haomei looked at me cautiously: "Bobo confiscated my ID card. I'm all alone... I'm too scared to go to her."

ID card?

I laughed.

I'd completely forgotten about Liu Haomei; her ID card is with me!

Bobo gave it to me so I could get a residence permit for Liu Haomei.

Liu Haomei forced a smile: "Brother Wang, what... what are you laughing at?"

I chuckled, pulled Liu Haomei's ID card from my pocket, and held it up proudly: "Look, what's this?"

"Ah, my ID card!"

Liu Haomei was overjoyed. She snatched the ID card, then turned and kissed me on the cheek: "Brother Wang, you're amazing!"

The great Brother Wang was taken aback.

There's this reward too?

Liu Haomei blushed, stared into my eyes, and whispered, "Brother Wang, I really don't know... how to thank you. Maybe, maybe I..."

I looked into Liu Haomei's eyes, and for some reason, I unconsciously leaned forward.

"Brother Wang."

The next moment, Liu Haomei threw herself into my arms, and her warm lips came close to mine.

My brain has frozen; I don't know how to cope.

Don't I already have Chunyan? Doing this seems a bit unfair to her, doesn't it?

"Brother Wang, I like you, I'm willing... willing to secretly follow you."

Liu Haomei kissed me passionately, whispering in my ear, "I don't want anything, I don't want anything, and I won't compete with Chunyan for you. When Chunyan isn't around, I'll just secretly keep you company."

I responded to Liu Haomei in a daze, my youthful passion splitting into two streams, carrying hormones, one rushing straight to my head and the other straight to my navel.

I spent money and asked people to help me find a job and accommodation for Liu Haomei. Even if I wanted her now, it wouldn't be too much to ask, would it?

If it weren't for me, that fatso Kuai Dafu could have taken her innocence for five hundred yuan and abused her in all sorts of ways...

Lost in their thoughts, both of them were already disheveled.

"Brother Wang, the curtains in the living room aren't drawn. Let's go to the bedroom..." Liu Haomei whispered in my ear.

I was startled by what I heard.

Not only were the curtains not drawn, but the lights in the living room were also on brightly!

If there are people on the other side, then it's a live broadcast.

Just as I was about to get up, my phone suddenly rang.

Liu Haomei was startled and sat up to gather her clothes, whispering, "Has Chunyan returned?"

I picked up my phone, and it was Sister Li calling.

"Sister Li, I'm at home." I took a deep breath and answered the phone.

"I'm fine, I just wanted to chat. I'm currently researching the market and won't be back for a few days. You're home, is that alright?" Sister Li's voice was very gentle.

"How's your wound? Is it healed yet?"

"Okay, Sister Li, everything's fine at home. My wound has healed, and the stitches will be removed the day after tomorrow."

"That's good."

Sister Li grinned mischievously again: "Don't go too wild with Chunyan tonight, be careful not to reopen your wound. Take precautions, don't let that little girl get pregnant..."

"Sister Li, you're talking nonsense again."

I glanced at Liu Haomei beside me, my face burning: "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up. The water in the kitchen is boiling, it's ready."

"I think you're just eager to sleep with Chunyan, while you're secretly sneaking around eating bran!"

Sister Li hung up the phone.

I glanced at Liu Haomei and gave an awkward smile.

I just rolled around on the sofa for ages and looked at other people, really looked at a lot of them, I'm a little embarrassed...

"Brother Wang."

Liu Haomei lowered her head and held my hand: "Just now... I was sincere. If you don't mind, I'll secretly stay with you from now on. If you don't tell, Chunyan won't know..."

"No, Liu Haomei, I helped you, but that's not what I meant."

Suddenly, I became noble and innocent again: "I only helped you because I was angry with Bobo. You don't need to thank me."

One shouldn't be so shameless. I already have Chunyan, right?

As for what just happened... that's all the fault of that fat bastard Kuai Dafa!

If he hadn't invited me to drink, I wouldn't have acted so recklessly after drinking!

"But I'm telling the truth, I really like you."

Liu Haomei looked at me and said, "I like you, not to thank you. Even if you don't like me, I will always like you."

Looking into Liu Haomei's eyes, it was clear that it was genuine.

She truly fell in love with me; her eyes were full of sincerity.

"Okay, sis, let's just be... friends."

I stood up and chuckled awkwardly, "By the way, I have time tomorrow, I'll go with you to apply for your residence permit. With the residence permit, you can... go to work without worry."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"It's Chunyan, I'll open the door."

Liu Haomei smiled, straightened her clothes again, and went to open the door.

It really was a swallow.

"Old Wang, you're back?"

Chunyan came over and sniffed my face: "You're still taking anti-inflammatory medicine, you can't drink alcohol, it'll kill you, this is ridiculous!"

I didn't care: "I'll only drink a little bit, it'll be fine."

Chunyan shook her head and pointed at Liu Haomei:

"Liu Haomei lives alone and is afraid to stay in 508. I'm worried about you having to take care of her at night if I go to stay with her. How about this, let Liu Haomei stay in your 302 too. Once you're better, Liu Haomei and I will move to 508..."

Liu Haomei said shyly, "It's okay, I can live in 508 by myself."

As they were talking, another earth-shattering sound came from upstairs, like a tidal wave crashing down, one wave after another.

What kind of meeting is that bastard Huang Aijun holding now!

"Alright, Chunyan, you can all sleep here."

I was getting annoyed: "I'm going upstairs to see what these guys are up to!"

Chunyan and Liu Haomei were worried, so they accompanied me upstairs.

I went upstairs to listen, and this time the noise was coming from room 402, so I raised my hand and knocked on the door.

Huang Aijun opened the door, saw me, and frowned slightly before forcing a smile: "Landlord, we're in a meeting, it'll be over soon, please forgive us..."

My fellow villager, Gao Jianfeng, a master of grappling, sat on a low stool in the living room, standing out from the crowd, a head taller than others, a crane among chickens.

Upon seeing me, Gao Jianfeng also came over to try and get on my good side: "Fellow villager, we have a meeting tonight, will you do me a favor?"

Do you have a lot of influence?

I glared at the expert and frowned at Huang Aijun:

"Boss Huang, this house is rented to you for living, not for your company meetings. Even if it were a meeting, you can't make this much noise! ​​Stomping your feet and clapping, is this a meeting? It's demolishing the house!"

As we were talking, the tenants of 501 and 502 upstairs came down and stood on the corner platform looking at me, exclaiming, "Yes, landlord, 401 and 402 are too noisy, they're like this every night."

Room 502 was inhabited by six or seven young, fashionable women. Every time they came in or out, they exuded a subtle fragrance and captivated with their graceful figures. The way their slender waists swayed made my eyes dart from side to side, almost turning me cross-eyed.

According to Sister Li, they work at a KTV.

The woman in the lead, I think her name was Zhou Zhou, had long, wavy hair, wore a short skirt and high heels, and swayed as she walked down, pointing at Huang Aijun:

"If you keep making this noise, don't blame me for being impolite. I have a high-powered speaker here. Once I turn it on, you won't be able to have any peace and quiet!"
