Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City

Upon hearing this, Ye Ling didn\'t react much, but Liu Qiao\'er was initially taken aback.

She glanced at Ye Ling and thought to herself, this woman... couldn\'t possibly be Ye Ling\'s wife, could she?

It really sounded like it!

It was as if Ye Ling hadn\'t come home for the night...

But considering the woman\'s age, Liu Qiao\'er then felt that she couldn\'t be Ye Ling\'s wife.

Ye Ling was only in his twenties, and this fat woman looked like she had to be at least in her thirties, right?

"You\'ve been behind on rent for three months now. If you don\'t pay today, pack up and get out immediately!"

The fat woman waved her hand dramatically and yelled at Ye Ling.

"So, it\'s the landlord..." Liu Qiao\'er breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she suddenly paused, thinking to herself, "Whether it\'s the landlord or the wife, why do I even care?"

Just as Ye Ling was about to speak, the fat woman said again, "Are you going to tell me again that you have no money? Day in and day out, look at the sorry state you\'re in! A university graduate who can\'t even find a job for someone else, what\'s the point of a man like you living? Might as well be dead!"

"That girl behind you, she\'s your girlfriend, isn\'t she?"

The fat woman then turned to Liu Qiao\'er, "Such a pretty girlfriend, and she got stuck with you. What a waste of good eyesight. I bet all your thoughts every day are on chasing girls."

"Young lady, I would advise you to hurry and..."

"Slap!"

The fat woman hadn\'t even finished speaking when a stack of bright red banknotes slapped onto her face.

"Is that enough?" Ye Ling asked with a gloomy expression.

The fat woman was startled and, seeing the red banknotes falling to the ground, immediately put on a smile.

"That\'s enough, enough."

"If it\'s enough, then scram," Ye Ling said.

He really couldn\'t understand why the former Ye Ling would choose such a landlord for renting a place.

If it wasn\'t for the fact that she was a woman, he would\'ve kicked her out long ago with his temperament.

The fat woman, holding the money, was about to leave when Ye Ling said, "Stop right there."

"Ye Ling, is there anything else?"

The fat woman\'s face was all smiles, her previous spiteful demeanor gone.

"Three months\' rent, plus interest, I\'ve given you 5,000. That leaves 5,000 more, right?" Ye Ling said.

"Oh, that\'s true."

The fat woman\'s heart skipped a beat; how could she not know there was still 5,000 left? She had thought Ye Ling had forgotten.

"Take this 5,000 as rent for the next three months," the fat woman said with a smile.

"Get lost, I\'m not renting anymore!" Ye Ling said.

"You—"

As soon as the fat woman heard that Ye Ling was not going to rent anymore, her face turned back to that harsh expression.

"What\'s all this bravado for? Just because you have a bit of money now?"

The fat woman counted out the 5,000 for Ye Ling and urged him, "If you\'re not renting, then pack up and leave quickly. I need to rent it out to someone else."

Just as Ye Ling was about to say something, Liu Qiao\'er softly said, "Let\'s just pack up quickly and leave this place."

Hearing this, Ye Ling nodded his head, choosing not to argue with the fat woman.

Liu Qiao\'er was really scared by the fat woman\'s temper, finding it hard to believe that there could be such a fierce woman in the world.

In fact, there really wasn\'t much that Ye Ling needed to pack, just a few clothes. Along with the Pill Furnace and some Chinese medicine, they were all lightly packed into his suitcase, and they left the place with ease.

"Well, I was hoping to let you stay here for a bit, but who would\'ve thought this woman would be such a piece of work," Ye Ling said, a little embarrassed.

Liu Qiao\'er\'s eyes widened in confusion, "You\'ve been living here for such a long time, and you just realized how fierce she is?"

Ye Ling was startled and thought to himself, I\'m the one who\'s traveled through time. Only the former Ye Ling could have put up with that.

Without further explanation, Ye Ling took out his phone, looked up Han Qingxin\'s number, and dialed it.

"You want to borrow money again?" Han Qingxin drawled lazily as she answered the phone.

Han Qingxin\'s voice was different from Liu Qiao\'er\'s, with a crisp feeling to it, like the singing of an oriole, and very pleasant to hear.

"Not borrowing," said Ye Ling.

"Then what is it?"

"I just want to ask, where do you work? I have a friend who just graduated from college and is looking for a job," Ye Ling said.

"Oh?"

Han Qingxin immediately became interested, giggling, "Is it a guy or a girl?"

"A girl," Ye Ling said with a bad feeling.

"I don\'t care!"

"Geez, can\'t we have a pleasant conversation?" Ye Ling rolled his eyes.

"Hee hee, just kidding~ What does your girlfriend look like? Is she pretty? What\'s her educational background? What are her measurements? How tall is she?" Han Qingxin teased.

Ye Ling felt helpless, "Are you conducting a census?"

"I just want to compare. If she\'s prettier than me, I won\'t take her. If her measurements are better than mine, I won\'t take her. If her educational background is higher than mine... well, I might consider that," she said.

"Stop kidding around. How many are as pretty as you?" Ye Ling said.

He actually meant it. Han Qingxin\'s appearance truly was no less striking than Liu Qiao\'er\'s, it was just that her peaks were not as high as Liu Qiao\'er\'s.

"That\'s more like it. I\'ll do you this favor. If you\'re free now, bring her over. I\'ll send you the address in a bit," Han Qingxin cooed.

"Thanks a lot, Miss!"

Ye Ling hung up the phone with a smile and snapped his fingers at Liu Qiao\'er, "Done!"

Surprise flashed in Liu Qiao\'er\'s eyes, "You found one? What kind of job is it?"

"I don\'t know," Ye Ling shook his head.

"Oh, we\'ll find out when we get there. I\'m ready for hard work," Liu Qiao\'er said earnestly, puffing up her cheeks.

Her serious expression made Ye Ling\'s heart itch all the more to give her tender face a kiss.

Soon after, Han Qingxin sent over the address.

It was the Global Financial Center in Donghai City, Building 18.

Upon seeing this address, Liu Qiao\'er was immediately astonished.

This was the most bustling area of Donghai City and the most economically developed area.

It covered nearly the entire economy of S province. Any job there came with a white-collar label, and a significant portion was of blue-collar or gold-collar level, including many senior executives.

Given Ye Ling\'s attire and him renting that twenty-square-meter apartment, could he really know such a friend?

And this was clearly no ordinary friend. In a place like the Global Financial Center, to just say \'come over\' meant you must wield significant clout.

It\'s not that Liu Qiao\'er looked down on Ye Ling. In fact, her own family was not very wealthy either.

It\'s just that most people would think this way.

The two took a cab to the Global Financial Center. During the ride, Ye Ling also searched online for some nearby rental properties.

Facing future days without a shortage of money, Ye Ling, who knew how to enjoy life, rented a twin-townhouse suite right away.

Of course, renting this twin-townhouse was part of other ideas Ye Ling had.

And that was...

Ye Ling glanced at Liu Qiao\'er, who was oblivious to what was going on, sitting next to him.
