The landlord never dreamed that Xie Ran actually became the leader among the Qixing students.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

All along, the impression that Xie Ran had in the minds of the tenants in the tube-shaped building was that he was silent and fragile, just a good-looking face with good grades, but unable to handle trouble.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

When Xie Ran was admitted to Qixing, the landlord felt both sour and indifferent. Qixing was not a place where students from ordinary families could stay. With Xie Ran\u2019s family background and personality, going there would only make him a marginal figure, and it was questionable whether he could even last there.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

In the landlord\u2019s mind, Xie Ran would definitely be ignored at Qixing, and it would be lucky if he wasn\u2019t bullied.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

She never imagined that Xie Ran became the big brother of the Qixing students.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

At this moment, the group of boys standing outside the tube building were all tall and muscular, dressed in name-brand clothes. Judging by their rough way of speaking, they were definitely experts at causing trouble.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

These guys, placed anywhere among the powerful elites in Qixing, probably wouldn\u2019t dare to be provoked by anyone. The landlord sized up her own limited connections and fighting ability and completely lost heart.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Thus, the situation instantly reversed. What had originally been the landlord and her group surrounding Xie\u2019s parents to threaten them now turned into Xie Ran\u2019s group of younger brothers surrounding the landlord\u2019s group for negotiation.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

After sitting at the negotiation table, the landlord finally truly understood what it meant that hooligans were not scary \u2014 what was scary was hooligans with education.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Xie Ran\u2019s proxy lawyer was the real tough player.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

By comparison, students who only knew how to use their fists were too innocent.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Lawyer Meng Feixuan effortlessly cited various public security management regulations, legal provisions, and so on, as if copying and pasting from documents, leaving the landlord and her group speechless.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Not only that, he skillfully combined practical details and seized various weaknesses of the landlord\u2019s group, hinting fiercely without leaving any loopholes and ruthlessly piling up the landlord\u2019s potential prison sentence to several years.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

The landlord didn\u2019t understand these things. When the other side listed each point one by one, she was dumbfounded and could not rebut a single word.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

She even began to quietly feel relieved that they had settled by negotiation, because if they had made a fuss like at first, she was afraid that Lawyer Meng could have gotten the whole family sent to the police station.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Of course, her whole family was now surrounded by Xie Ran\u2019s younger brothers.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

In the end, Lawyer Meng calculated the settlement amount to be as high as fifty thousand yuan. When the landlord heard this, she was stunned. She originally only wanted to extort a few thousand yuan from Xie\u2019s parents, never expecting that in the blink of an eye she would have to compensate so much. She immediately cried and yelled, trying to bluff her way out.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

But no matter how much she cried and raged, Xie Ran remained unmoved, looking at her coldly and saying: “Then see you in court.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>

After saying this, he didn\u2019t give the landlord any chance to haggle, and was about to leave directly.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

The landlord had never encountered someone so decisive and ruthless, which rendered all her usual tricks of crying and throwing tantrums completely useless.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

The key was that this person had the confidence to be so decisive. Just looking at Xie Ran\u2019s demeanor, the landlord did not doubt at all that he really would sue on the spot.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

If it really went to court, the tax evasion amount listed by Lawyer Meng alone would far exceed fifty thousand yuan.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

The landlord clutched her chest and collapsed on the spot: \u201cI\u2019ll pay, I\u2019ll pay!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>

When Xie\u2019s parents came out of the landlord\u2019s house, their heads were still dazed. In just a moment, not only did they not have to pay the extortionate rents in the landlord\u2019s contract, they even received fifty thousand yuan in cash compensation.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

A full fifty thousand yuan! That was about their family\u2019s entire annual income.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Originally, the landlord wanted to use the excuse of having no cash to delay and cheat, but Xie Ran\u2019s classmates immediately pressed down on the landlord\u2019s brother, forcing the landlord to go withdraw the money at once. The landlord was used to having others withdraw money for her before and never thought she would have such a day herself. She wanted to cry but had no tears and eventually could only obediently withdraw the money.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Seeing Xie Ran\u2019s classmates, Xie\u2019s parents finally had a chance to thank them and hurriedly said: “Thank you so much, classmates.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>

\u201cYou\u2019re welcome, you\u2019re welcome,\u201d Guan Heng waved his hand, looking at Xie Ran respectfully: “It\u2019s our honor to help Brother Ran.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>

He had previously only thought Xie Ran was good at gaming and fighting, but he did not expect that Xie Ran was actually a highly intelligent and ruthless figure. When negotiating with the landlord, it seemed the lawyer was the main negotiator, but Guan Heng could tell that Xie Ran was the one really controlling the scene.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Though he was still only a high school student like them and even shorter, when Xie Ran sat at the table, his aura and posture were as steady as Mount Tai.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

The landlord\u2019s group was large and specialized in throwing tantrums and bullying, and their loud voices were headache-inducing, yet they were completely unable to intimidate Xie Ran.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Xie Ran steadily controlled the rhythm, while Lawyer Meng pressed step by step, demanding compensation aggressively. In the end, Xie Ran\u2019s decision was cold and ruthless, leaving no room for the landlord to maneuver.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Guan Heng had only seen such decisiveness and skill from his family elders at shareholder meetings.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Truly worthy of being the big brother among brothers!<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Guan Heng had never played with such poor people as Xie Ran before. Actually, when he first saw the tube building\u2019s environment, he felt a little disdainful. But seeing Xie Ran calmly move through the yard, orderly directing the movers to start packing, without any embarrassment or discomfort despite the harsh surroundings, Guan Heng\u2019s little disdain disappeared completely.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

This was the real big brother aura\u2014directing even moving as if issuing orders at a shareholder meeting!<\/span><\/span><\/span>

As Guan Heng was thinking this, Xie Ran suddenly looked back at him with a faint smile and said: “Weren\u2019t you going to pay for the move?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Guan Heng: \u201c…\u201d How did Brother Ran still remember that?<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Seeing him speechless, Xie Ran casually added: “Just kidding.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>

He had paid to hire the moving team, so naturally these high schoolers didn\u2019t need to exert themselves, but since Guan Heng and the others had free time, they still helped carry some things. After all, the earlier negotiation with the landlord took quite a while, and their help sped up the move.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

After Xie Ran finished speaking, his phone vibrated again. He picked it up and saw a message from Meng Feixuan.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Meng Feixuan: [Sir, the family doesn\u2019t have to move for them, but the money still must be collected. We are starting from scratch and have to budget carefully!]<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Xie Ran: \u201c\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>

After a while, Meng Feixuan sent another message.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Meng Feixuan: [Forget it, I just thought about it and feel that\u2019s a bit rude.]<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Meng Feixuan: [But my manners aren\u2019t high anyway, so it should be fine, right?]<\/span><\/span><\/span>

It was obvious the AI didn\u2019t fully understand human moral standards and was still analyzing.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Xie Ran couldn\u2019t help but chuckle softly: \u201cFool.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Seeing these big boys, obviously out of place in their tube building environment but helping with no disdain and enthusiastically calling him \u201cBrother Ran,\u201d and Xie Ran standing among them without any awkwardness, seeming to live this way every day, Xie\u2019s parents felt very emotional. They looked at each other knowingly and secretly wiped their eyes: \u201cIt\u2019s great, really great.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Xie Ran\u2019s decision to attend Qixing was a last resort. They were deeply in debt and needed the high scholarship Qixing offered to get through hard times.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

But the environment at Qixing made Xie\u2019s parents worry that Xie Ran would not fit in or might be excluded. Over the past year, Xie Ran always told them he was doing well and everything was going smoothly, but he never mentioned his interactions with classmates, which left his parents uneasy.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Now seeing that Xie Ran really got along well with his classmates, who even admired him, they finally felt completely at ease.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

The moving crew and the big boys worked together, and the originally small tube building suddenly became crowded and lively, attracting many tenants to come out and watch.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Many had seen the landlord\u2019s family causing trouble earlier, but because the landlord had many people and was arrogant, and tenants had to consider the landlord\u2019s face, no one dared to intervene, and everyone thought the Xie family was doomed.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Unexpectedly, after a short while, the Xie family had started moving in a lively manner.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Those close to the Xie family gathered to ask about the situation. After understanding the details, they were all surprised and showed envy.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

\u201cThe old Xie family is really moving to Ruijin? That\u2019s a good place. I\u2019ve delivered goods there. The community is big, spacious, and especially beautiful!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>

\u201cXiao Ran is really capable\u2014goes to Qixing and lives in Ruijin. The old Xie couple is lucky.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Some were angry about the rental contract issue.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

\u201cThe landlord\u2019s contract has such extortionate clauses?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Xie\u2019s father was helpless: \u201cThe lawyer Meng said those clauses were written deliberately. They discriminate against tenants. If they find someone easy to bully, they cheat them. If it\u2019s someone hard to deal with or tenants they don\u2019t want, they act as if the clauses don\u2019t exist. So not everyone encounters this.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>

This was the landlord family\u2019s shrewdness. Otherwise, with so many tenants in the tube building, it would have exploded long ago.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

\u201cBut that\u2019s not right. Who knows if she just thought we were easy to bully!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>

\u201cWhat can we do? We can\u2019t afford a lawyer and can\u2019t find anyone from Qixing to back us up!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Xie\u2019s parents sympathized deeply. Xie\u2019s mother pulled Xie Ran aside: \u201cXiao Ran, where did you hire that lawyer Meng? Was he expensive? Can others afford him?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Xie Ran glanced at the anxious tenants and said calmly: “Later I will have Lawyer Meng send you a guide for moving out.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Everyone looked at each other and gratefully said: “Thanks, Xiao Ran.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>

After nine o\u2019clock at night, the Xie family finally finished moving.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Xie\u2019s parents felt bad and wanted to entertain Guan Heng and the others, but it was late, and they were still focused on gaming, so they refused to stay and left after greeting Xie Ran.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

After the noisy big boys left, Xie\u2019s parents finally had time to carefully inspect their new home.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Ruijin Garden was not especially high-end, but it was already a place Xie\u2019s parents never dared to dream of.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

The community was large, green, with neat and beautiful gardens. The house had a square layout and good lighting. The whole place was clean and bright, completely different from the tube building.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Xie\u2019s parents excitedly toured the living room and rooms, mumbling nonstop: \u201cSo spacious, good layout, looks comfortable.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>

\u201cThe kitchen is big and clean. Cooking will surely be fragrant.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>

They liked everything, their hearts and eyes full of joy and hope.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Xie\u2019s mother worried a little: \u201cSuch a good place must cost a lot in rent?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>

But the thought flashed only briefly, and she immediately cheered up: \u201cXiao Ran must live in such a place to study well. I will go find a job tomorrow\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>

\u201cDon\u2019t think about that. I will find a way,\u201d Xie\u2019s father seemed stimulated and started thinking: “It would be great to buy a small apartment here for Xiao Ran someday\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Xie Ran: \u201c…?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>

He was only renting at Ruijin now because of limited funds. It was a transitional place. Xie\u2019s parents wanted to settle here?<\/span><\/span><\/span>

And a small apartment?<\/span><\/span><\/span>

He was renting a two-bedroom now, wasn\u2019t that small enough?<\/span><\/span><\/span>

But seeing his seemingly weak and incapable parents excitedly planning the future, carefully considering every step to pave the way for him, clumsy but full of hope, Xie Ran finally did not object. He paused and said to his mother: “You should rest well first. Money is not urgent.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>

The hard days wouldn\u2019t last long, but if his mother got sick worrying about money, it wouldn\u2019t be worth it.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Xie\u2019s father nodded: “Right, right, we just got fifty thousand in compensation today\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Speaking of this, Xie\u2019s parents felt like they were dreaming. They carefully took out the money and started planning its use. Xie\u2019s father thought for a moment and took out ten thousand yuan, handing it to Xie Ran: \u201cXiao Ran, take this to treat your classmates. They helped a lot today. Use the rest at school.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Ten thousand yuan was undoubtedly a huge sum for the Xie family. But seeing Guan Heng and the others\u2019 clothing and spending habits, Xie\u2019s parents could imagine their consumption level. If Xie Ran wanted to befriend them, he had to have some money.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Xie Ran looked at their faces full of undisguised care and suddenly thought of his parents in his original world. His emotions were usually indifferent. His parents were typical elites, and family communication was concise and efficient, rarely ever having such intimate and openly warm moments.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

He suddenly became curious about what emotional state his original parents had when communicating with him.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

“Okay.” Xie Ran didn\u2019t make things difficult for his parents. Since 10,000 yuan wouldn\u2019t affect their life, he took it casually and returned to his room.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Once he closed the door, Meng Feixuan\u2019s practiced voice immediately came from his phone. The calm lawyer resumed his youthful brightness: “Sir, I hacked into that landlord\u2019s router and cut off their internet.”<\/span><\/span><\/span>

“I also compiled a list of cheap and affordable communities in the city and sent a copy to each tenant in the dilapidated building.” He sounded somewhat annoyed: “I was so kind, but some people thought it was a scam. It pissed me off.”<\/span><\/span><\/span>

But Meng Feixuan was a strong AI and continued: “I also sent all tenants the relevant laws about the landlord\u2019s contract traps and a lease termination guide.”<\/span><\/span><\/span>

It was imaginable that the landlord\u2019s real trouble was just beginning.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Xie Ran wasn\u2019t interested in these things unrelated to his plan, but hearing the familiar young voice made him feel, for a moment, like he was back in his original world.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

He didn\u2019t stop Meng Feixuan from talking and paced to the window.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

The view here was completely different from the dilapidated building. The window was wide, outside was the community garden, night was deep, and lights from residents shone like patches of light hanging on high buildings.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Xie Ran said: “Mark, report.”<\/span><\/span><\/span>

“Okay, sir.” The young man switched to professional mode and began reporting on their layout progress in this world.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Half an hour later, Meng Feixuan finished the report. Xie Ran was about to wash up when he saw a message from Guan Heng.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Guan Heng: [Brother Ran, come back quickly, I can\u2019t handle it alone.]<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Xie Ran: [?]<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Guan Heng: [qaq I just lost ten matches in a row, when will you help me rank up? I can\u2019t do it without you.]<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Xie Ran: [\u2026]<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Guan Heng: [Pay for it!!]<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Xie Ran thought for a moment: [I\u2019m busy, I\u2019ll have Lawyer Meng play with you.]<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Guan Heng: [That Lawyer Meng from the afternoon? Forget it, he\u2019s so professional, he must be terrible at the game.]<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Before Xie Ran replied, Meng Feixuan swore angrily: “Damn it, I\u2019ll show him!”<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Xie Ran ignored it and replied: [I\u2019ll let him use my account.]<\/span><\/span><\/span>

After that, he put down his phone and went to wash up.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

When he came out, Guan Heng\u2019s messages flooded his phone:<\/span><\/span><\/span>

[Guan Heng: Brother Ran, Lawyer Meng is amazing!]<\/span><\/span><\/span>

[Guan Heng: He won back all the points we lost.]<\/span><\/span><\/span>

[Guan Heng: qaq but he\u2019s too good at swearing\u2026]<\/span><\/span><\/span>

[Guan Heng: He even forbids us from blocking in-game chat.]<\/span><\/span><\/span>

[Guan Heng: Sigh, weird, how did he know I blocked in-game chat?]<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Xie Ran: “\u2026Mark?”<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Meng Feixuan quickly denied: “He\u2019s lying!! I\u2019m a civilized green system!!”<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Xie Ran paused, then replied to Guan Heng: [Lawyer Meng probably doesn\u2019t swear.]<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Guan Heng: [He didn\u2019t swear, but he said he spilled rice on his keyboard and that even the chickens he raises play better than us.]<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Xie Ran: “\u2026”<\/span><\/span><\/span>

On his phone screen, a cartoon white chicken ran around the frame, looking like it was trying hard to lose weight.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Xie Ran: [He\u2019s telling the truth.]<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Author\u2019s note: Mark: I\u2019m just telling the truth.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Ji Jiu: Kekekeke!<\/span><\/span><\/span>

Guan Heng: Got pissed and cried.<\/span><\/span><\/span>
