A life of success begins with being a landlord.

Awen became excited and grasped my hand:

"Brother Zu, if you can get Director Song to agree to what Amei and I are doing, you'll be our greatest benefactor. We'll be together for life..."

"You'll be filial to me for the rest of your life, right?"

I patted Awen's head: "Your third uncle calls me brother, so you'll have to call me grand-uncle from now on."

Ah Wen laughed and said, "You can make this sound like I can call you grandpa."

"You call me grandpa? Your third uncle will kill me!" I rolled my eyes.

Ah Wen's grandfather was Dao Zai Xiong's father.

Can Dao Zai Xiong acknowledge me as his biological father?

I've been watching until 10:30, so it's time for me to say goodbye.

As I walked out of the ward, I saw the nurse who had just been yelled at by Dao Zixiong at the stairwell.

The young nurse tugged at me and whispered, "I'm sorry, I don't know... Mr. Zhan, I shouldn't have..."

As she spoke, the nurse burst into tears.

"Don't cry, it's our fault, we shouldn't have smoked in the hospital." I laughed awkwardly, "Boss Zhan, he's just in a bad mood today, don't take it to heart."

This incident clearly shows that Dao Zai Xiong bullied someone.

But now, the nurse is even coming to apologize. Ugh, this is outrageous!

The young nurse was still sobbing: "But I'm afraid he won't let me go... I'm from out of town, and it wasn't easy for me to find this job."

"Don't be afraid, Boss Zhan won't do anything to you."

I thought for a moment and comforted the nurse, "The patient in the ward is Zhan Yongwen, his nephew. You just need to take good care of Zhan Yongwen."

The nurse nodded: "You are...?"

"My name is Wang Yaozu, and I came from Anhui Province to work."

"Then we're from the same hometown! I'm also from Anhui Province." The young nurse was pleasantly surprised: "My name is He Tiantian, from Hefei."

I laughed too: "Then you really are from the same hometown. I'm from Dongfei County, which is also part of Hefei City."

He Tiantian grabbed my hand: "Handsome fellow villager, please help me, apologize to Brother Xiong, and let me off the hook, okay?"

I have a soft heart, so I immediately took out my phone and called Daozaixiong in front of He Tiantian.

"Hey bro, what's up?"

"Brother Xiong, let me give you an update. I've taken care of things with Wen. He's in a great mood and very happy."

"Brother, you're really something, haha!" Dao Zai Xiong laughed. "Let's have dinner together tonight, I'll thank you again then."

"No, Xiong-ge, I'm still taking my medicine. Let's drink another day." I glanced at He Tiantian and said, "No, I'm still taking my medicine. Let's drink another day."

"The nurse from earlier was really from my hometown of Hefei. We chatted for a bit, and she even graduated from high school... Brother Xiong, please be lenient and don't hold it against her."

"Wow, what a coincidence! You've taken a liking to this little nurse, haven't you? Haha, it's alright, I won't hold it against you."

Dao Zixiong hung up the phone.

He Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief and bowed repeatedly: "Handsome fellow townsman, let me treat you to dinner. Can you wait for me after get off work?"

"No need." I shook my head and unbuttoned my shirt.

"Look at my wound, can the stitches be removed now? It's been seven or eight days. The doctor said it could be removed in seven to ten days."

He Tiantian was taken aback: "I'm a nurse, I can't make that decision. Which doctor saw you back then? I'll take you there."

I smiled and said, "Why bother with all that? Just take a pair of scissors and pick off the loose thread."

He Tiantian didn't dare to make the decision herself, so she took me to see a surgeon.

The doctor examined the stitches and said, "You can remove them now, but it's best to wait a couple more days. Avoid any strenuous activity, and continue taking the anti-inflammatory medication for two more days."

He Tiantian led me out of the office and whispered, "I'll treat you to dinner. After dinner, I'll help you dismantle it..."

"Never mind, let's wait a bit longer."

I shook my head: "I should go home."

"Where do you live?" the nurse asked as she saw me to the door. "Handsome fellow townsman, could you give me your phone number?"

I nodded and gave them my phone number.

"I'll call you." He Tiantian was very happy.

I got on the motorcycle and waved goodbye.

I just got back to Building 27 when I received a phone call.

It was Director Song's driver, Xiao Pei.

Xiao Pei was very polite. He chatted with me for a few minutes and told me to contact him if I needed anything.

I exchanged a few polite words, but didn't get to the point.

I want to personally visit Longteng and Fengju Printing Factory. If I can't manage it, I'll contact Xiao Pei.

If it works out, it will be a good opportunity for me to improve myself, and I won't have to trouble anyone or owe anyone a favor.

Bobo from the Jiangnan Hair Salon saw me, waved and shouted, "Wang Yaozu, come here."

I shook my head and walked over: "What's wrong, missing me?"

Now I've thickened my skin; I'm no longer that big boy who could be easily manipulated by Bobo.

"Of course I miss you, I want to eat you!" Bobo stretched out his hand: "Can I borrow your phone for a moment?"

I sighed and handed him the phone: "Hurry up, don't take this on forever."

Bobo pulled me into the shop and pointed to another new girl: "Alan, give my brother a shoulder massage and a leg rub, I'm making a phone call."

Alan swayed over and grabbed my hand: "Handsome, come on..."

"Go away, I'm not coming."

I pulled my hand away, glared at Alan, picked up a plastic stool, and sat down by the door.

Actually, Alan is not bad either. He's very young, about the same age as Chunyan.

No girl this age is anything but adorable.

But I despise her. Who knows if Kuai Dafu ever patronized her business?

The thought of Kuai Dafa makes me feel like all the women on the street are filthy!

After a long while, Bobo finally came out and handed the phone back to me: "Why are you sitting outside? Do you not like Alan and want me to serve you personally? Come on, let me wash your hair."

I put my phone away, but then I saw Lao Xia walking over, and I couldn't help but blush.

I hope my father-in-law won't misunderstand me.

"Yaozu, you're washing your hair here?" Old Xia wasn't surprised at all, and even greeted me with a smile.

"No, Bobo just borrowed my phone to make a call," I quickly clarified.

"Why are you making that call? You just had the whole thing done, it cost you 150, forgot?" Bobo deliberately tricked me, pulling my hand and giggling:

"Here, let me give you another cup!"

"Screw you, don't even think about lending me your phone again!"

I pushed Bobo away and turned away.

Damn Bobo, if Lao Xia goes home and talks nonsense to his wife and daughter, my innocence will be ruined.

Old Xia followed me and asked, "Has Yaozu eaten? I'll treat you."

Inviting me to dinner and then making me pay, right?

"You can eat it. Just put it on my tab at Fatty's place."

I was annoyed with Lao Xia, so I took him to Fatty Sister's fried rice noodle shop, then walked aside and called Ding Zhili.

Not long after, Ding Zhili emerged from "Wencheng Hair Salon" next to Bobo and met up with me. He said with a grin, "Brother Zu, there are two pretty girls at Wencheng Hair Salon. I'll treat you to a foot massage tonight."

I was surprised: "Ding Zhili, you look so respectable, yet you like doing this kind of thing too?"

To be honest, Ding Zhili seems like a very sunny person, like a newly employed middle school teacher.

He actually sneaked into the Wencheng Hair Salon, which completely surprised me.

Ding Zhili blushed: "My wife isn't here, she's back in our hometown. So..."

"No need to say anything, come find me at two o'clock this afternoon."

I tossed the motorcycle keys to Ding Zhili: "Go talk to a few more printing factories this afternoon, and try to get it done by the end of the day."

"Brother Zu, let me treat you to dinner!"

"No."

I shook my head and went upstairs to find Chunyan.

It would be so much better to spend time alone with Chunyan. Eating with you, Ding Zhili, is so boring.

When I arrived at 302, Chunyan opened the door for me.

Gao Jianfeng, a master of grappling, came downstairs and happened to see me: "Hey, fellow villager, what a coincidence!"

I stood in the doorway, glancing sideways at Gao Jianfeng: "Fellow villager, how's business going these past two days? How many relatives and friends have you managed to swindle over?"
