King of Kings, start with a perfect record and strive for the top spot.

Feeling bored, Ye Lan strolled around the mall for a while. After confirming that everything was in order, she hailed a taxi and headed towards a residential area called "Happiness Lane".

Xingfuli Community is quite well-known in Shanghai. Although most of the residents here are older people, they were among the first residents of Shanghai!

Its status and influence are self-evident.

Even many entrepreneurs who built Shanghai have received their advice.

Ye Lan decided to learn from Gao Qiqiang in "The Storm". Since she couldn't reach those high-ranking officials and wealthy entrepreneurs, she would change her approach and solve the problem at its source.

On the way here, Ye Lan took off her suit and put it in her handbag, then put on a red and black sports jacket. With her hair hanging down, she looked exactly like a high school student.

Suits can give off a sense of distance and are suitable for business meetings or important occasions, while casual wear gives off a more approachable vibe.

When interacting with these elderly people living alone, wearing a suit is like showing off your skills in front of an expert – it's suicidal.

When the security guard saw that the person was a high school student, he assumed that the person was a young master from a wealthy family. Fearing that he might be slighted, he naturally bent down and opened the door to let him in.

Ye Lan remained expressionless, suppressing the urge to smile with great willpower.

The buildings in Xingfuli Community are not as glamorous as one might imagine; it's just an extremely ordinary community. The cobblestone roads are uneven and a bit uncomfortable to walk on.

The roadside is lined with low shrubs, which look like a kind of evergreen tree; many schools like to use this kind.

Ye Lan's gaze swept steadily across the pavilion, but she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure inside.

He was a chubby little boy with dark skin and short hair that made his head look like a small hard-boiled egg. He was wearing a gray windbreaker, and there were seven or eight old ladies sitting in front of him, chatting and laughing, all of them beaming with joy.

"Xu Zhiqiang!" Ye Lan's Adam's apple bobbed, and she finally couldn't help but call out the other person's name.

That's right, this person is Ye Lan's childhood friend and best friend, Xu Zhiqiang, who came to Shanghai with him during the winter vacation.

But why is he here?

Ye Lan had too many questions in her mind.

Xu Zhiqiang turned around after hearing the sound and saw Ye Lan. He waved his arms happily.

Almost at the same time, the elderly people with full heads of white hair also slowly turned their heads, their eyes revealing curiosity as they looked Ye Lan up and down.

Ye Lan felt a little intimidated by the group's stares. After all, old people are known for their gossip regardless of their status or position. In some ways, these elderly people were no different from the village aunties.

They are all national-level intelligence centers.

Xu Zhiqiang explained with a smile, "This is my childhood friend. I'm just going over to say hello."

As he spoke, he jumped down from the pavilion railing and ran all the way to Ye Lan.

Ye Lan asked, frowning.

"Didn't I tell you to work with Liu Yang to toughen up your skin? Why did you end up here?"

Liu Yang is the head of the sales team, the same salesman who previously sold health products in Longyang Community.

Knowing that Xu Zhiqiang was shy, Ye Lan handed him over to Liu Yang, hoping to use sales as a way to talk to more people and thus toughen him up.

However, Xu Zhiqiang's appearance in Xingfuli Community was something he hadn't expected.

Xu Zhiqiang grinned, his white teeth contrasting sharply with his dark skin. "I came here on Brother Liu's mission. He told me to get along with these women, and I've successfully completed that mission!"

He pounded his chest loudly, a smile of immense pride and arrogance on his face.

"elder sister!!??"

Ye Lan muttered something to herself, a look of surprise on her face, wondering if there was something wrong with her ears.

He had previously asked someone to secretly investigate the Xingfuli residential area. The youngest person living there was 50 years old, and a college student like Xu Zhiqiang could be called "grandma" without any problem.

To everyone's surprise, Xu Zhiqiang smiled broadly and waved towards the pavilion, saying, "Look how pretty those ladies are!"

Following the other person's arm, the silver-haired women all turned around, their eyes narrowed into slits, and they covered their mouths with a faint smile.

"Zhiqiang has such a sweet tongue, he knows how to make us aunties happy."

"Zhiqiang, I have a granddaughter who's about your age. Would you like me to introduce you to her?"

“Your granddaughter has a terrible temper. She’s not good enough for a guy as good as Zhiqiang. My daughter is the only one who can be good. She’s gentle, intelligent, and knows how to take care of people.”

"Your daughter is over thirty, she could easily be Zhiqiang's mother, and you still want to date a younger woman?!"

.........

Seeing the group of elderly people arguing over Xu Zhiqiang, Ye Lan's eyes widened, and she opened her mouth, unsure of what to say.

Is this still the shy Xu Zhiqiang I remember?

How come you've become a woman's treasure after just one month?

"You should tell your father properly how you got in here, and what you did to these old people. You couldn't have drugged them, could you?"

Ye Lan grabbed Xu Zhiqiang's wrist, afraid that the old people would hear, and moved a little further away from the pavilion.

"As you know, Team Leader Liu is a salesman. The moment he opened his mouth, his identity was exposed, and he was immediately stopped by security at the outside. He couldn't even get in."

"He had no choice but to entrust this task to me, asking me to come into contact with these grandmothers. He repeatedly told me how important these people were to me, so I dared not neglect it."

"In the past month, I've helped them clean their rooms, do laundry, hang out the sheets to dry, take out the trash, and cook. I've taken care of the food, clothing, and shelter of more than a dozen people all by myself, and I've even lost two sizes of weight around my waist. If you don't treat me to a big meal when I get back, I'll be furious with you!"

After hearing this, Ye Lan immediately realized that Xu Zhiqiang knew better than her how to please the old man.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Xu Zhiqiang's parents had him late in life; his mother was over thirty when she gave birth to him. Coupled with the family's poverty, he was more mature than many of his peers and knew better how to handle relationships among family members.

Shy and timid people are often more sensitive.

The elderly people living in Xingfuli Community are all wealthy and influential. They have extremely rich material conditions, but they are somewhat lacking in spiritual aspects.

Their children are away from home all year round, and they can only see them once a year during holidays.

Their long-term loneliness made them feel abandoned by the world.

Xu Zhiqiang's arrival changed this situation. He could do some housework within his ability and then chat with them, allowing these elderly people living alone to feel the warmth of family again.

"Brother Ye, do you see that old lady in the red cotton-padded jacket in the middle? She promised me that after the Spring Tournament is over, the advertisements on the building screens along the Pearl River will play Xueyao Milk Tea's sign on a loop!"

Xu Zhiqiang lowered his voice.

Ye Lan's eyes widened upon hearing this. Of course he knew about the advertising on the building screens along the Pearl River; it was the most expensive advertising space in the world, bar none!

Located near Lujiazui and the Oriental Pearl Tower, the location is extremely advantageous. Advertising placement is calculated by the second, with spending reaching tens of thousands of yuan per second.

Even if Ye Lan had to sell everything she owned, she would never use this kind of advertising in this location.

But now, Xu Zhiqiang has easily solved it!
