A life of success begins with being a landlord.

I stared at my phone, listening to the ringtone ring seven or eight times, but still rejected the call.

Ding Zhili is so eager to ask me for help, I might as well let him be even more eager. The more eager he is, the more advantageous it will be for me.

Chunyan came over and asked me, "Whose call was that? Why didn't you answer?"

"Your mother called, urging us to get married soon, she wants to hold her eldest grandson." I blurted out a lie.

"You're lying to me again. My mother doesn't have your phone number."

"You're cursing me again." I slapped Chunyan, habitually grabbing and releasing her, repeating the cycle endlessly.

This feels so good, rich but not greasy, and incredibly bouncy.

"You beast, what are you trying to do now?" Chunyan threw herself into my arms and kissed me.

I hugged Chunyan and responded enthusiastically.

It seems that Chunyan and I have both forgotten that Liu Haomei is still inside!

After munching for a while, I suddenly remembered Liu Haomei and hurriedly pushed Chunyan away: "No, Liu Haomei is here..."

Liu Haomei happened to walk by, then laughed and slipped into the bathroom: "I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything."

Chunyan went even crazier, pushing me down onto the sofa: "They said they didn't see anything..."

"Stop fooling around, Chunyan, Liu Haomei is coming out soon."

"It can't be that fast. She's been to the toilet and still needs to wash the hook." Chunyan persisted, determined to take advantage of me.

"Chunyan, you've really come, haven't you?"

I took the initiative, stood up, tucked Chunyan under my arm, and walked towards the small room.

"You son of a bitch, let me go..."

Chunyan was ticklish and giggled, slapping my bottom.

I then let go: "Wait until Liu Haomei leaves, then I'll see how I deal with you."

Liu Haomei came out of the toilet, covering her face, but deliberately winked at us through her fingers: "It's okay, you can tidy up Chunyan now, and then we can eat together."

Chunyan grabbed Liu Haomei and shoved her toward me: "Let Lao Wang deal with you, I'll cook."

Liu Haomei was weak and frail, and she suddenly fell into my arms, knocking me down onto the sofa.

I was pinned down, and I quickly hugged Liu Haomei: "Chunyan, stop fooling around."

But Chunyan is really crazy.

She actually chased after us, grabbed Liu Haomei's shoulders from behind to prevent us from getting up, and giggled mischievously: "Old Wang, don't be shy, I'm giving you a beautiful woman, hold on tight... Come on, give me a kiss."

"Chunyan, are you trying to kill me! My wound..."

I pushed with all my might, but I ended up pushing Liu Haomei in the chest. She neutralized it with a soft and gentle approach, using a gentle force...

Master!

Liu Haomei's face was also flushed, and she seemed to have lost her balance. It took her a while to struggle to her feet. She turned around and pushed Chunyan away, saying, "Chunyan, stop fooling around. Brother Wang's wound hasn't healed yet."

"Oh dear, I forgot."

Chunyan then remembered my wound and hurriedly bent down to check it: "Old Wang, don't move, let me see."

Liu Haomei blushed and ran to the kitchen.

"I'm fine."

I was annoyed and got up to glare at Chunyan.

This girl has no sense of propriety when she's being silly.

"I'm sorry, Lao Wang." Chunyan tugged at my sleeve, her eyes slightly red.

It's always like this; she has no sense of proportion when she gets angry, and if I give her a hard time, she'll start crying.

"It's alright, wife."

I gently scratched Chunyan's nose, then suddenly whispered in her ear, "If I had actually kissed Liu Haomei just now, I'm afraid you would have gotten angry again."

Chunyan chuckled, pinched me, and whispered, "I'm not angry that you two sleep together in front of me."

Snapped.

I slapped Chunyan: "You're talking nonsense. Go cook, your man is hungry."

The swallows ran away.

My phone rang again; it was Ding Zhili again.

"Boss Ding, I'm about to eat. Is there something you need?"

"Boss Wang, come down for dinner. I'm at Changhong Restaurant across the street. It's on me, for you and your girlfriend too." Ding Zhili said sincerely.

"I just asked my uncle, and he'll definitely cooperate with you. As for profit sharing, he won't treat you unfairly; we can discuss it."

"Well... wait here, let's talk face-to-face!"

I hung up the phone and called out to Chunyan and Liu Haomei, "Chunyan, Haomei, someone invited me to a restaurant for dinner, are you going?"

Liu Haomei hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I'm not going, Brother Wang. I'm going to work at Sihai Printing Factory this afternoon."

Chunyan said, "Then I won't go either. I'll stay with Haomei. She doesn't have a boyfriend, she's so pitiful."

You've only been well-fed for a few days, and you already know how to pity the starving!

I nodded, turned around and went out.

Just as I stepped out the door, I remembered something and turned back to say, "Hey sis, I also want to go to the printing factory this afternoon. Wait for me, we'll go together."

Liu Haomei nodded: "Okay, Brother Wang, I'll wait for you."

In a private room at Changhong Restaurant, Ding Zhili ordered eight dishes, a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor), a bottle of red wine, and a dozen beers.

He's much more generous than that bastard Kuai Dafa!

We drank and negotiated.

Half an hour later, the division of the spoils was finally settled.

First, the losses from driving away Kuai Dafa and the money for repairing the 404 toilet all came from Ding Zhili.

Secondly, if I acquire the other six printing plants, maintain the business, and prevent others from interfering in the competition, Ding Zhili will give me 11,000 yuan per month. I will be a hands-off manager, not involved in production, and will only receive the money.

Third, I'll help with the business at hospitals and photo studios if I can, and it's not my fault if I can't.

I raised my glass: "It's a pleasure to work with you. I'll do my best to make it happen."

Ding Zhili also raised his glass: "I believe in Brother Zu!"

"But there's one condition: you can't tell anyone about what we're discussing."

I decided to keep this a secret from Sister Li.

She knows I've made a lot of money, and maybe she'll... be jealous.

Ding Zhili was young but shrewd. He nodded and smiled, "Keep a low profile and make a fortune, I understand."

After saying that, Ding Zhili took out five thousand yuan from his pocket and gave it to me: "This five thousand yuan is for expenses related to building connections. After we get it done, I'll give you a monthly share."

light and spacious!

Doing business with smart people is always a pleasure.

I took the money and said, "Lend me your motorcycle. I'll go to Sihai Printing Factory this afternoon. I know their General Manager Wu, Wu Guoxiang."

"Brother Zu is someone who gets things done; he's very proactive."

Ding Zhili gave a thumbs up and said, "I'll go with you. I'm afraid you don't understand the business and won't be professional in our discussions."

I stood up: "Okay, you can take a taxi and wait for me in front of the Sihai Printing Factory. I need to bring a friend, so I'll borrow your motorcycle."

Ding Zhili nodded and handed me the car keys.

I led Ding Zhili downstairs and tossed a cigarette to the red-haired boss at the bar: "Brother Hong, put this meal on my tab, we'll settle it later."

Dao Zai Xiong arranged for me to eat here for free.

If I skip a meal, Boss Hong will find it difficult to face Dao Zai Xiong.

The boss took the cigarette: "No problem, bro!"

"I can't accept this, I'll pay!" Ding Zhili stepped forward and took out his money.

I grabbed Ding Zhili: "Next time."

Ding Zhili had no choice but to nod: "Brother Zu, I've decided to be your friend!"

I rode my motorcycle across the road, parked it in front of Fat Sister's door, locked it, and went to find Liu Haomei.

Liu Haomei and Chunyan were still eating, chatting and whispering to each other, sometimes opening their mouths wide and laughing heartily, just like long-lost sisters.

I patted Liu Haomei on the shoulder: "Eat quickly, and I'll take you to work after you finish."

Liu Haomei nodded and quickly started eating.

Chunyan nudged Liu Haomei, giving her a mischievous smirk: "My boyfriend helped you, so give him a kiss as a thank you."

"I'm afraid you won't be happy about my brother, the prince."

Liu Haomei slapped Chunyan, then looked at me and chuckled, "When I find my chance, I'll kiss you, kiss you as much as I want."
