A life of success begins with being a landlord.

On the phone, Dao Zixiong said:

"I'll come over at noon to discuss this in person and finalize the details. This afternoon, I'll take you to Banpo Island to see the site and familiarize you with the situation. From now on, don't do anything else; focus entirely on preparing for this."

"Okay, Xiong-ge." I hung up the phone.

Sister Li was also very nervous, staying close to me while listening to the phone call and watching my expression.

I pretended to be relaxed and smiled at Sister Li: "It's okay, Sister Li, it's nothing, I can handle it easily."

"Brother, I've never seen any of those skills you've described, so I have no idea what to expect," Sister Li said with a wry smile. After thinking for a moment, she said, "How about you show me what you've got?"

Indeed, Sister Li had never seen the Three Immortals Returning to the Cave, the ability to hear words, or the snake-coiling technique that I described to her.

It's understandable that she was worried about me and feared I would mess things up since she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.

"Okay, Sister Li, let's play 'Three Immortals Return to the Cave'." I nodded: "Go and get three small bowls."

"Okay!"

Sister Li was overjoyed upon hearing this and excitedly went to the kitchen to bring back three small bowls.

I found a piece of paper, tore it open, and crumpled it into three balls, ready to perform the Three Immortals Returning to the Cave.

Sister Li was sitting on a low stool across from me, across the coffee table.

The magician and the audience must be face-to-face, but also maintain a certain distance, in order to perform tricks.

If Sister Li were sitting next to me or standing behind me, I wouldn't be able to perform this magic trick. Forget about the three immortals returning to the cave, even one immortal wouldn't be able to enter!

I was about to perform when I saw something I shouldn't have. My face immediately burned, and I gave an awkward smile: "Sister Li, you...would you like to change your pants?"

People wearing short skirts are so prone to accidental exposure, especially when sitting on a low stool...

Sister Li looked down and blushed as well. She slightly adjusted her posture, covering something, and chuckled softly, scolding, "You little rascal, just don't look around, okay? If you deliberately look around, I can't wear anything."

I suddenly regretted it. Why did I remind Sister Li?

Sigh, what a mess, now there's nothing to watch!

"A grand magic show is about to begin! The moment to witness a miracle has finally arrived!"

I calmed myself down and began my performance, placing the three crumpled pieces of paper face down in the three bowls: "Sister Li, guess where the paper balls are?"

Sister Li chuckled and pointed randomly, "Here, or maybe here... no, it must be here!"

As a result, when the three bowls were opened, there was nothing there.

"Sister Li, the crumpled paper is in your clothes, on your chest." I said with a mischievous grin.

"Nonsense!" Sister Li was indeed fooled and looked down.

Still not convinced, I felt around with my hand.

Of course, Sister Li didn't find anything.

"On your shoulder."

I patted Sister Li on the shoulder and conjured up three crumpled pieces of paper.

"Haha, you've got some skills, kid!" Sister Li exclaimed in surprise. "Teach me how to play! I want to show off a bit after I learn!"

"How can I teach you how to make a living?"

I waved my hand and tore off another piece of paper: "Let's play another trick of listening to words. Come on, write a word and fold it up."

Sister Li thought for a moment, then ran to the bedroom, wrote a few words, folded the note, and handed it to me.

This really put me in a difficult position. Her note was folded very small and held very tightly, making it difficult for me to cheat.

I had no choice but to use all my skills to stall for time, and use my silver tongue to appease Sister Li: "Sister Li, I bet you wrote... Wang Yaozu is really handsome, right?"

"So shameless! Does he really think he's so handsome?" Sister Li rolled her eyes. "Looks like your ears aren't very good at hearing words!"

"Don't rush, Sister Li, I was just guessing, I haven't heard it yet."

I rambled on about this and that to stall for time and distract Sister Li, and finally managed to sneak open the note and quickly glance at it.

Holy crap, is Sister Li... flirting with me?

"Sister Li, so you weren't a good person after all..."

I held the discarded blank paper to my ear, pretending to listen: "You wrote... Yaozu was peeping at me while I was showering. Right?"

"Holy crap, how did they figure that out?"

Sister Li opened her mouth wide enough to fit a large goose egg.

I casually tossed the note into the trash can and chuckled, "Wait until tomorrow, I'll deal with Master Wang and then come back to teach you magic tricks."

Sister Li nodded, then suddenly her eyes lit up, and she grabbed me: "Do you know how to cheat? If you do, teach me, so I can win money every day when I play cards!"

"Sister Li, just relax and be a good landlady, don't overthink things."

I playfully flicked Sister Li's nose: "The casino is like a battlefield, extremely dangerous. There are always stronger cheaters out there; you'll easily be exposed and then hacked to death."

Cheating is no joke!

My second uncle showed me some cheating techniques, but forbade me to practice them.

Because using cheating techniques to make money is addictive, and in the end, it will ruin you!

"You bastard, you're pinching my nose."

Sister Li slapped my butt: "Just focus on dealing with Master Wang. If you need any help, just say the word."

I shook my head; there was nothing I needed Sister Li's help with.

But I need Sister Li to give me a break so I can focus on my work.

Sister Li gave me some space to play mahjong, leaving 302 to me so I can do whatever I want with it.

I checked the medication and had a clear idea of ​​what was going on. Then I called Fugui Mao and asked him to take me for a drive in the suburbs to see the surrounding environment.

I also went to that so-called Banpo Island and repeatedly checked the terrain.

This is indeed a beautiful place, like a peninsula jutting into the lake. To the east, south, and west, there is clear blue water, while to the north, there is a low hill.

It's not far from Sanlichuan, making life convenient, and it boasts beautiful scenery.

If developed into residential buildings, they won't have trouble selling.

Fu Gui Mao asked me, "Brother Zu, what are you doing here? This is the middle of nowhere."

"Take a break to relax."

Without saying much, I got on the motorcycle and said, "Let's go, let's go explore some other places."

Fugui nodded and led me on a further aimless wandering.

Around 11 o'clock, Fugui Mao took me back to Sanlichuan. On the way, we passed through a grove of trees and suddenly heard a noise inside. Someone was shouting for help!

It was a woman's voice, and it sounded somewhat familiar.

"Fugui Mao, stop for a second!" I instinctively wanted to meddle again.

Fu Gui Mao stopped the car and said in a low voice, "Brother Zu, there are only two of us, so... let's not meddle. These kinds of things happen all the time..."

I hesitated.

I'm not a hero, I have no obligation to be a chivalrous hero and eliminate evil, right?

"Help! Help me—!"

A piercing scream echoed from the woods.

"Holy crap, it's Erxia!"

I suddenly realized that it sounded a lot like Erxia, Tiger's girlfriend from 505.

"Fugui Mao, come inside with me!"

I gritted my teeth, pulled out two lighters, and cautiously walked into the woods.

Fu Gui Mao had no choice but to pull out the iron bar from the back rack of the motorcycle and follow me into the woods.

"Help, you beast... Let me go! I'm Dao Zai Xiong's woman, I'm Dao Zai Xiong's woman... You beasts, Dao Zai Xiong won't let you get away with this!"

It was indeed Erxia's voice; I could hear it very clearly.
