A life of success begins with being a landlord.

Holy crap, this must be hearsay.

I shuddered.

If this is true, then... this place is terrifying.

However, based on what I've seen and heard these past few days, I think that Liu Haomei's story may not be entirely unfounded.

When they arrived at the mall, Liu Haomei helped Chunyan choose clothes.

It has to be said that women understand women best.

Liu Haomei and Chunyan spent an afternoon playing together, and Liu Haomei knew Chunyan inside and out. She knew what size clothes Chunyan wore and what size shoes she wore!

I bought Chunyan two sets of clothes, one inside and one outside, and two pairs of shoes. Then I suddenly remembered, "Oh right, sister, I'll buy Chunyan's mother another set of clothes, one inside and one outside."

Chunyan's mother is a good person, and I am willing to take care of her.

Liu Haomei smiled and said, "I've never met Chunyan's mother, so I don't know what size clothes she wears."

I thought for a moment: "She looks exactly like Chunyan, just a little thinner."

"Then I'll buy the clothes that Chunyan wears. If her mother can't wear them, Chunyan can still wear them."

Liu Haomei nodded and then chose another set of clothes, both inner and outer, and a pair of shoes.

The cosmetics are upstairs.

I bought two sets, one for Chunyan and one for her mother.

Remembering that Liu Haomei had helped me, I said, "Haomei, you should choose one too, I'll pay for it."

I have 20,000 yuan on hand, but I don't dare send it home now, so I'll just spend it as much as I want!

Liu Haomei shook her head and smiled, "Brother Wang, I've already lent you a thousand yuan, I can't spend your money anymore. Let's go back."

I wanted to be polite, but Liu Haomei grabbed my hand and left without saying a word.

After leaving the mall, Liu Haomei and I walked back with our shopping bags.

Liu Haomei reminded me, "Brother Wang, hurry up, be careful of motorcycle robberies..."

I looked around, grabbed a metal lighter and held it in my hand, then led Liu Haomei specifically to walk under the eaves of the storefronts.

There are too many obstacles under the eaves, so the motorcycle can't fly.

In case of an emergency, you can also take refuge inside the store.

Liu Haomei seemed a little scared and clung to my arm.

I felt a little embarrassed.

Because my arm was nestled in her embrace, we would always touch each other intimately when we walked... It seemed that Liu Haomei's chest was even bigger than Chunyan's.

Fortunately, the journey was relatively peaceful, and we returned to Building 27 without any incidents.

Liu Haomei then let go of my hand and gave me a slight smile.

"Hi, Boss Wang!"

The young man who asked me to rent a room this morning was eating at Fatty Sister's fried noodles shop. When he saw me, he stood up and said, "Have you eaten yet? Let's eat together, it's on me."

"You haven't left yet?" I walked over. "Have you found a suitable place to live?"

The young man chuckled, "I've also looked at Building 26 across the street, but there aren't any suitable apartments there. I'll think about your top-floor apartment."

"Okay, if you're sure you want it, just call me." I nodded and prepared to go upstairs.

"Hey, let's grab a bite to eat." The young man was very enthusiastic: "You're with your girlfriend? It's on me."

He misunderstood and mistook Liu Haomei for my girlfriend.

"No need, you eat it."

I shook my head and smiled, then walked towards the stairwell.

But then the phone rang. I stopped and took out my phone to check. It was Kuai Dafa.

That bastard, I locked his iron gate, and sure enough, he came looking for me.

"Wang Yaozu, you've gone too far!"

The fat man, trying to be the villain, accused me first: "I went out this morning to find a worker to fix the bathroom, and you locked my door. What do you mean by that?"

I walked back and sat down at Fatty's fried noodle shop, asking, "Kuai Dafa, have you found the workers yet?"

"Of course I came looking for it!"

"Alright, I'll go open the door for you right now. If I don't see the worker, don't blame me for yelling at you!"

"The workers came, of course, but you locked my door, so they went back."

Damn, they went back again!

"Kuai Dafa, you're talking nonsense!" I was furious. "Bring the workers here, and I'll open the door for you. Otherwise, don't even think about getting in!"

There's not a single truth in that fatso's mouth.

He had no intention of repairing the bathroom in room 404; he just wanted to procrastinate and wait it out!

Kuai Dafa yelled into the phone, "Don't bully me! I'm calling Hu Xiaoli. You wait, I'll smash your lock..."

I was too lazy to say anything more and hung up the phone.

Liu Haomei took the clothes and shoes and went upstairs first.

I sat in front of Fatty Sister's door, staring at the stairwell where Kuai Dafa was, wondering if I should give him some muscle relaxant powder, then drag him out and bury him!

The capable young man had already finished eating and handed me a cigarette: "What's wrong, Boss Wang? You seem pretty angry."

"No, I'm very happy." I rolled my eyes.

"It's all for apartment 404, isn't it?"

The young man smiled and said, "Why don't you kick that tenant out and rent room 404 to me?"

I shook my head: "We can't kick him out. He just paid three months' rent and has a month's deposit."

The young man said, "You return the rent and deposit to him, and I'll make it up to you. It's the same thing."

"But his bathroom was soaked in chemicals, and the downstairs apartment is leaking and needs repairs!" I widened my eyes slightly.

"It's okay, I can pay for the repairs."

"Holy crap..." I looked the young man up and down again, frowning as I asked, "Bro, are you rich?"

You rent someone else's house and pay for the repairs yourself? Do you have more money than you can spend?

If you're really rich, what kind of house can't you rent? Why are you fixated on 404 errors?

The young man shrugged: "Repairing a toilet shouldn't cost much, right?"

Just as I was about to speak, the phone rang again; it was Kuai Dafa calling again.

"Wang Yaozu, return my rent and deposit, and I'm moving out!"

Kuai Dafa shouted into the phone, "I just called Hu Xiaoli, and it was Hu Xiaoli who said it."

"Okay, have Sister Li call me. As long as Sister Li says so, I'll refund your rent and deposit immediately."

I won't fall for that, and I hung up the phone again!

If the bathroom isn't fixed, Sister Li won't refund him a single penny.

His rent is 450 a month. Even with three months' rent prepaid and a one-month deposit, it's not enough to cover the cost of repairing the bathroom.

Kuai Dafa called me again, but I refused to answer. Then I lit a cigarette and sat here waiting for that bastard.

The capable young man didn't leave either; he sat down opposite me and looked at me with a grin.

It seems he's determined to watch this spectacle.

That kid is so boring!

Not long after, Kuai Dafa walked out of the building hesitantly, looking around.

I didn't say anything, I just stared at Kuai Dafa.

"Hey bro, so you've been here all along."

Kuai Dafa ran over, handed me a cigarette, and said with a mournful face, "You locked my security door, how am I supposed to get in? Open the door first, I've already contacted a repairman, he'll come and fix it today."

I tapped on the table: "Kuai Dafa, give me a deposit of one thousand yuan and leave it with me."

"Why do you need a deposit? The repairs will be done right away!"

"Not a single word of truth comes out of your mouth!"

I couldn't take it anymore. I pointed at Kuai Dafa and said, "You fix the bathroom and move out. I'm telling you, this apartment is no longer rented to you!"
