A life of success begins with being a landlord.

Both logically and emotionally, we must inform Sister Li about this matter.

Only if Sister Li agrees, and I can guarantee that I won't delay the management of Building 27, can I take over the management of Building 26.

Zhan Lao Er was quite understanding: "Alright, brother, tell Little Fox it's my idea, and I'll invite her to dinner another day."

I nodded: "I'll call Sister Li tonight. Second Brother, wait for my news."

Zhan Lao Er left his phone number with me and said, "These past two days, I've been sorting through the accounts left behind by Jin Ya Lao, as well as the rental contract. Brother, I hope you can come over as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll get back to you as soon as possible."

I raised my glass: "I'll have a drink with my second brother."

The meal was fairly pleasant because Zhan Lao Er was a normal, ordinary person, unlike Dao Zai Xiong, who was so domineering and intimidating.

During the meal, when Zhan Lao Er went to the restroom, Boss Hong whispered to me:

"Brother Zu, this is a job. It'll be tiring, but the money will be easy to earn. As long as you know how to do it, there are many ways to make a little extra, a few thousand yuan a month..."

"I still need to ask Sister Li for permission."

I understand what Boss Hong means. Managing a building with dozens of apartments means there are many ways to make a profit.

After the tenants move out, you can clean up the junk they leave behind and sell it to make some money.

There's also rent, which is flexible. If you have a tenant who's easy to talk to, you can ask for more!

After lunch, I returned to the 302 headquarters, chatted with Sister Ling and Chunyan for a few minutes, and then started working.

The purchased medication needs to be processed.

Some need to be boiled, and some need to be ground into powder.

Sister Ling ran over, squatted down opposite me, and asked me what I was doing with this thing.

I thought for a moment: "This is medication prescribed for a patient."

"You can treat illnesses?" Sister Ling asked, surprised. "What illnesses can these medicines treat?"

I couldn't think of anything to say for a moment, so I just made something up: "It's a friend of mine who isn't very bright, and this medicine can help improve his brain function."

Sister Ling chuckled and slapped me: "You're kidding, right? I think you need to get your brain working."

I said in all seriousness, "Sister Ling, I'm not lying to you. My brain is the best in the world; I don't need any extra help."

Since I started calling her Sister Ling, our relationship has become very pleasant. Everything is relaxed and comfortable, like a fish in water.

I felt relaxed, and she felt at ease too.

The whole afternoon was spent preparing medicine; the room 302 was filled with the smell of Chinese medicine.

"It's all settled. I asked Sister Ling, 'Sister Ling, could you please clean up room 302 for me? Otherwise, if Sister Li comes back and smells this medicine, I'm doomed.'"

Sister Ling nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, I'll handle it."

I never expected that my sister Ling could speak Gangdong dialect!

"Thank you, beautiful lady!" I patted Sister Ling on the shoulder.

Actually, I can speak a few words of Cantonese, and I can even say "shameless nuts."

At 5 p.m., Dao Zixiong arrived and called me from downstairs.

I packed my things, went downstairs, and got into Daozaixiong's car.

Director Tang and the others were all present, as was Boss Huo Yandong from last night.

Dao Zixiong led us to his family's old house.

The Zhan family's old house is on the north side of the road, but it is not next to the road; it is more than a kilometer away from the road.

The old house is a courtyard house with a large courtyard behind it.

Dao Zixiong's parents usually live here and are taken care of by a nanny.

But tonight, Dao Zixiong arranged for his parents to go elsewhere in advance, and even sent the nanny away.

Once inside the old house, Dao Zixiong looked at me and said, "Brother, is this place alright? The old house and courtyard you wanted."

Last night I told Dao Zixiong that I would demonstrate the snake-coiling technique in an old house or a secluded place, so Dao Zixiong chose this place.

This is Dao Zaixiong's old house. He chose this place to see my true abilities and to prevent me from secretly making any arrangements in advance.

I nodded and walked around the old house, inside and out, touching here and there, and even stomping my feet in some places.

A few minutes later, I returned to the inner courtyard, rolled up my shirt sleeves, and prepared to perform.

Sister Tang smiled and brought me a large washbasin.

I pointed to the ground and asked Sister Tang to cover the basin up.

Sister Tang was very obedient and turned the basin upside down on the ground.

I clapped my hands and said, "Let me remind everyone, if you're afraid of snakes, be prepared."

Director Nie laughed and said, "Most people in Gangdong are not afraid of snakes and often eat snake gall and snake soup."

Oh crap, I forgot about that.

Forget about eating snakes, even if aliens came to Gangdong, they would be caught by the locals and made into soup!

clap clap!

I clapped my hands again: "Everyone, I bragged last night about conjuring a snake out of thin air using a basin, but that's no skill. Conjuring a snake out of thin air is what counts. Look around you..."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look around.

There was a rustling sound outside the back door. A large, colorful snake crawled across the threshold, searching and searching, heading towards my feet.

The snake weighed about five or six pounds and was as thick as a child's arm.

"Holy crap, how did I get this thing in my house? A silver-ringed snake!" Dao Zixiong exclaimed in shock.

Before I finished speaking, two large snakes and three small snakes emerged from the surrounding corners and swam to my feet.

hissing...

Several large snakes raised their heads and flicked their tongues at me.

"Holy crap!"

Sister Tang climbed onto the table on a stool, trembling, and said, "Dao Zixiong, is your house a snake pit?!"

Director Nie, who had initially said he wasn't afraid, changed his expression, grabbed a feather duster, and cautiously watched his step.

I squatted down and touched a few large snakes.

The snake was very obedient and immediately coiled itself into a round shape, with its head in the middle of the round shape, slightly raised.

"Everyone, this is my Serpent Coiling Technique."

I picked up a snake-shaped pancake, held it in my hand, and said to the crowd, "I can also boast that I'm a reincarnation of a dragon and can summon venomous snakes. Do you believe me?"

Dao Zixiong and the others looked at each other, unsure how to respond.

I put down the snake cake and slowly lifted the large basin that had been placed on the ground.

The crowd gasped in surprise once again.

Inside was a small black snake coiled up.

Sister Tang exclaimed, "That's not right! I put this basin on the ground myself, how did this snake... get in there?"

Daozai Xiong clasped his hands in a fist salute to me: "Good brother, you should get these snakes out of here first, they're kind of scary."

Everyone agreed that I should get rid of the snake.

All that arrogance from before is gone.

I smiled, rubbed my hands together, and clapped them three times vigorously: "Let's go!"

The snakes, large and small, immediately turned around and returned along the same path, disappearing from sight shortly afterward.

"call……"

Sister Tang breathed a sigh of relief and cautiously climbed down from the table.

I offered a helping hand: "Director Tang, I hope I didn't scare you?"

"It's nothing..." Director Tang said he was fine, but his legs went weak and he fell into my arms.

I quickly hugged him and steadied him.

Director Nie laughed and said, "Sister Tang, we're all here, how come you're kissing Brother Wang?"

Everyone laughed, even Boss Huo.

Sister Tang steadied herself and jokingly scolded Director Nie, "Since you won't let me kiss you, I guess I'll have to kiss Brother Wang instead. Brother Wang is younger and more handsome than you."

Damn it, this is harassment!

Director Nie laughed and said, "Okay, Sister Tang, you and Brother Wang should both bring your ID cards and come to my place. I'll put your household registrations together, and you can be husband and wife from now on."

I blushed and quickly took a step back.

Tang Jia is around forty years old, twenty years older than me. This joke is pure harassment to me.

"Everyone, let's eat first, then we can get down to business."

Dao Zixiong noticed my embarrassment, picked up the phone, and ordered Changhong Restaurant to send over the dishes.

I washed my hands and then drank tea with everyone.

Sister Tang asked me, "Little brother, what about the little snake in the basin just now...?"

"Director Tang, this is nothing unusual," I explained.

"There were no snakes in the basin originally. When I squatted down and lifted the basin, I hooked a small snake out of my trouser leg and put it in..."

When I was calling for snakes just now, a black-tailed snake slithered into my trouser leg, but no one saw it.

I squatted down and lifted the basin. Everyone was opposite me. I used the basin to block their view and quickly hooked the small snake out of my trouser leg and put it on the ground.

When everyone saw me lift the lid of the basin and see a snake on the ground, they naturally assumed that the snake had crawled into the basin on its own.

"Little brother, from now on call me Sister Tang. We're all family." Director Tang sat down next to me, patted my shoulder, and said:

"Is Master Wang's method the same as yours?"

Everyone was looking at me.

I pondered for a moment: "Based on what you've said, Master Wang's magic tricks are superior to mine. But his snake-handling skills are definitely not as good as mine."
