A life of success begins with being a landlord.

I frowned, bent down to pick up the cushion, and handed it back to Erxia.

"You need someone to take care of you in your current condition. That bastard Tiger, he should at least come and see you, shouldn't he?"

"Forget it, Brother Zu, I can survive without the tiger." Erxia shook her head again: "I'm fine, I just need to rest."

"So, have you... found a job yet?"

"Not yet, I'll go look again in a couple of days..."

"Just rest easy for now, I'll make arrangements for you in a couple of days."

I stood up and patted Erxia on the shoulder: "I'll come see you again when I have time."

Erxia nodded.

I walked to the door, then turned back: "Do you have any money to spend? If not, just say so, and I'll lend you some."

"I still have money for food, thank you, Brother Zu."

"Oh well."

I said goodbye to Erxia and went downstairs to go home.

At noon, Dao Zixiong and Director Nie invited me to lunch at Dao Zixiong's villa.

There were only the three of us, no outsiders, not even Sister Li was invited, which shows that this small gathering was kept very secret. Dao Zixiong and Director Nie were both very cautious.

Director Nie first assured me, "Brother, we will not treat you unfairly this time. If there are any consequences, Xiong Ge and I will take full responsibility. We will also appease Sang Kun on Heng Street and guarantee that he will not retaliate against you."

I nodded: "I trust Director Nie and Brother Xiong."

Next, we'll discuss the specific details.

Dao Zixiong assigned me two assistants, A-Qiang and Tiger. There are also a few other people to cover for me.

"Was it a tiger that used to live here?"

I thought for a moment, then shook my head and said, "Brother Xiong, Tiger shouldn't be given important responsibilities. Let's find someone else for this."

Dao Zixiong was taken aback: "Why?"

"This person is heartless and ungrateful, and easily forgets his roots." I smiled bitterly and recounted Erxia's experience today.

I'm not complaining to Dao Zaixiong, but I genuinely believe that tigers should not be given important responsibilities.

He was indifferent and cold-blooded towards his girlfriend, and naturally had no regard for chivalry or honor.

"Oh, is that so? Okay, let's find another one."

Dao Zai Xiong smiled faintly.

It's clear that he doesn't necessarily agree with what I'm saying.

Director Nie said, "We'll all be on site tomorrow, cooperating with Brother Wang. It'll be fine."

I thought for a moment and decided, "Tomorrow, if Master Wang wants to perform, let him perform to his heart's content. After his performance, or during the intermission, I'll catch him off guard."

Dao Zixiong agreed to my arrangements and then asked, "Is there anything we need to prepare this afternoon?"

"Send me a car and a reliable driver. Come over after 3 o'clock."

"Then let's go with Ah Qiang."

I had two glasses of wine at noon, then I went back to sleep and waited for A-Qiang.

Sister Li is playing mahjong outside and hasn't come back yet.

I set an alarm on my phone and went to sleep soundly.

I woke up before the alarm went off because someone pinched my nose.

I was still half asleep and thought it was Chunyan. Without even opening my eyes, I hugged her and started taking advantage of her: "Chunyan, you're so cute, I've missed you so much..."

"You bastard, you're taking advantage of your older sister!"

Snapped!

Sister Li's voice came, and then I got a slap on the butt.

"Oh, is that Sister Li?"

I sat bolt upright, clutching the blanket and backing away, trembling. "Sister Li, what are you trying to do, sneaking into my room?"

"What do you think I want to do?"

Sister Li sat down on the edge of the bed, pointing her finger at my nose: "I just got back and heard you talking in your sleep, saying things like you like Sister Li, I love you, I miss you... I was so angry, so I was going to wake you up. Who knew you would just hug me like that?"

"Sister Li, I didn't! I wasn't talking in my sleep!"

I feel even more wronged than Dou E: "I did hug you just now, but I thought you were Chunyan... Who told you to pinch my nose?"

Actually, just now, I not only mistook Sister Li for Chunyan, but I also actually took advantage of her.

Looking back, I feel a little embarrassed, and there are also some... indescribable emotions involved.

"Fine, fine, I'll take the loss," Sister Li chuckled, then added, "Two people are looking to rent a place. I'll show them some apartments, you go about your business."

"Sister Li, let me do it."

I'm paid a salary, so it's my duty to do this.

But then Ah-Qiang called, saying he was waiting for me downstairs.

I shrugged: "Sister Li, Dao Zai Xiong's henchmen have arrived, I..."

"Go about your business, I'll take my tenants to see the house."

Sister Li waved and left.

I also got up, washed up, and prepared myself before going downstairs to meet up with Ah Qiang.

Once we got in the car, A-Qiang asked me, "Where are we going, Brother Zu?"

"Let's go to some godforsaken place, like wasteland, old graveyards, or ravines. I'm going to catch a few snakes."

"Okay, let me think of a suitable place..."

Ah Qiang started the car and drove off with me.

With nothing else to do, I casually asked about Tiger: "Qiang, are Tiger and Longhair following you now?"

Ah Qiang nodded: "Yes, they are both at my Golden Phoenix Entertainment City."

I then asked, "What do you think of tigers and long-haired people?"

"Long-haired Mao talks too much, and his words are often empty and unsubstantiated."

Ah-Qiang began his analysis earnestly: "Tiger is quite good. He has good eyesight and dares to make a move. He's a ruthless guy."

I smiled and asked, "So, what exactly is Tiger doing now?"

"The sauna security supervisor earns 3,000 yuan a month, plus commission."

Ah Qiang turned to me and smiled, "This is also Xiong Ge's idea. Xiong Ge said that Tiger is your friend and asked me to take care of him."

I was speechless upon hearing this.

Lei Zi, Tiger, and Chang Mao, those three bastards, pretended to be my friends and latched onto Dao Zai Xiong's coattails.

And I never said that I would let Daozaixiong take care of them!

That bastard Tiger, he must have been surrounded by too many beautiful women since he became the security supervisor at the sauna, so he just kicked Erxia to the curb.

You have no conscience!

I set off at three o'clock and didn't get home until it was completely dark.

I found everything I needed.

When I returned to 302, I was carrying two insulated containers.

"What, you brought me dinner back?" Sister Li greeted me with a smile and took the thermos from me.

"Sister Li, you'd better not look..."

"Why can't I watch it? Holy crap... Ah!"

Sister Li had already opened the thermos, then let out a scream, dropped the thermos, rolled her eyes, and was about to collapse.

I rushed over and hugged Sister Li, carrying her to the sofa. Then I pinched her philtrum and shouted, "Sister Li, wake up! Wake up!"

After a while, Sister Li slowly woke up in my arms, then jolted awake again: "You bastard, quick, quick, take that thing... away from me!"

"Sister Li, that thing has already been taken. I'm sorry, it was my fault." I quickly apologized.

There wasn't much in the thermos, just a few small venomous snakes.

I never expected that I could scare Sister Li so badly that she fainted!

"I don't believe it..."

Sister Li clutched her chest, panting, "I'm moving! I'm moving out! I can't keep this house... You bastard, you deliberately ruined your sister's life!"
