I'm a Landlady in the Apocalypse

Driven out of her home by her biased parents and cruel older sister, Su Tao decided to cut ties with them completely, vowing to rather starve, freeze, and wander outside for a lifetime than ever re...

Volume 1_Chapter 163: Master Mei Wants to Accept a Disciple

Aunt Kang choked up as she spoke:

"And, I also know how tight the housing market is in Taoyang. You and Manager Zhuang specially prepared a batch of low-rent housing and gave priority to people like us. You really didn't intend to make any money from us. We are truly grateful to you."

Su Tao sighed in his heart and comforted her, saying:

"Don't feel too burdened. Now that you've come to Taoyang, you're a part of it. Doing your job well is the best way to repay Taoyang. I really don't need any help. Go to the cafeteria and have breakfast and rest. Live a good life in Taoyang from now on, and make sure you get plenty of rest."

After finally sending off Aunt Kang, who insisted on cleaning for her, and preparing to go back to sleep, Ma Dapao called her again:

"Boss, boss, are you awake? A girl came here last night, only in her early twenties, claiming to be the daughter of the Mist. She told us to capture her and exchange her for her father, or she wouldn't leave. When I woke up this morning, I saw she had set up a tent at our door. It looked like she was serious. What should we do?"

"Captain Lei said we'd find a time today to tie her up, put her in a car and throw her far away, leaving her to fend for herself. Is that feasible?"

Su Tao asked: "Did she disturb the guests?"

Ma Dapao said: "Not really, some of our customers even treated her badly."

Su Tao said, "You should speak harshly to her today. Her father is a superpower, and she is just an ordinary person. There is no value in exchange. Even if she sits on the ground at the door, I will never agree to her. Tell her to give up this idea as soon as possible and go back to where she came from, otherwise she will bear the consequences."

Ma Dapao said repeatedly, "Okay, okay, it would be best if she could leave on her own. I'll go find her later."

After hanging up the phone, Su Tao forced herself to stay sleepy and sent a message to Zhuang Wan, asking her to lead everyone to work on the newly built first floor and assign workstations. She would arrive two hours later.

Two hours later, Su Tao rushed to the office building and happened to meet Liu Panpan pushing Mei Lao here.

Mr. Mei looked at the unfinished office building in front of him and couldn't help but smile:

"It's very beautiful, grand, and presentable."

Su Tao said: "Of course not, you designed it yourself, let me push you in to take a look."

Liu Panpan smiled and handed the wheelchair to her. She didn't follow her in and just waited outside.

While pushing, Su Tao asked Mei Lao: "How do your legs feel?"

Mei Lao was very cheerful: "I can now walk for ten minutes on my own with the help of something. When Dr. Zhong comes next time, I will be able to go up and down the stairs by myself."

Su Tao was genuinely happy and said with a smile:

"Next month I'll take you to climb Panliu Mountain. It's not high. If you get tired, we can take the elevator. Just so you can feel it."

Elder Mei smiled lovingly, "Okay, take Xiao Pan with you too. Although she didn't say it, I know her son is dead there, and she has always wanted to visit Panliu Mountain."

Su Tao nodded: "No problem."

"There's one more thing, Tao girl. Don't blame me, I told you. I'm old, and I definitely can't accompany you or Tao Yang for far."

Su Tao suddenly stopped where she was and refused to move.

"Don't worry, listen to me. I want you to find me a student. I'm leaving, and someone needs to help you."

Su Tao forced a smile: "Isn't it a bit too early for you to say that? Stop daydreaming all day long and just stay here peacefully. Don't draw too much, it's not good for your eyes."

Elder Mei sighed. "It's not pleasant to hear, but you have to listen. Find me a student. 16-30 years old is fine. No basic education is needed. It doesn't matter if they can't read. As long as they are obedient, willing to endure hardships, and have patience, it's fine. Peach girl, while I still have the energy, I have to find you a reliable person to take over my job."

Su Tao didn't respond and swiped the access control to enter the office area.

When Qi Yunlan, Zhuang Wan and others saw them, they all came to greet them.

Everyone joked with Mr. Mei and praised him for his increasingly better spirits.

Su Tao pointed to the independent office inside:

"Your office has moved here. When the time comes, give Sister Pan a door access. If you want to come here for a look, let Sister Pan take you."

Mei Lao smiled until his face wrinkled: "Okay, add a table inside for my future students."

Su Tao was helpless: "Okay, I'll add a bookcase and a filing cabinet for your future student. You haven't even accepted a disciple yet, but you're already planning for him."

Mei Lao laughed: "You little devil."

In the afternoon, Su Tao continued to build the building and worked hard to complete the second floor of Taoli Building.

As soon as you take the elevator to the second floor, you will see the public office area, which has eighteen workstations. Like the first floor, they are arranged in a cross shape and have frosted glass partitions.

After getting out of the elevator and walking to the left, there are two independent offices that Su Tao prepared for herself and Zhuang Wan.

Her own office not only has a desk and chair, but also an "L"-shaped sofa that can be used for sitting or lying down. When she is tired of working, she can pull the curtain and take a nap.

There is a small coffee table in front of the sofa, and a counter and storage cabinet against the wall with a coffee machine on it. There is also a refrigerated refrigerator next to it, which contains her favorite drinks and snacks.

Su Tao is quite satisfied with her office, which is a perfect combination of work and rest.

There are also blinds installed on the same wall in her office as Zhuang Wan's, so they can communicate by pulling them up, which is very convenient.

There is also a small conference room for four people next to the two offices.

Next to the meeting room is a restroom that can accommodate four people.

After exiting the bathroom and turning left, there is an open-plan tea room with basically the same configuration as the one on the first floor.

To the left of the tea room is a large conference room that can accommodate 10-15 people.

From now on, we don’t have to go to the crowded restaurant in Panliushan to hold management meetings.

By the time Su Tao finished building the entire second floor, it was dark when she went downstairs. Only Qi Yunlan and two monitors were working overtime.

"Director Qi, have you guys eaten yet? Are you still working overtime?"

Seeing her coming, Qi Yunlan stood up and said, "Boss, I was just looking for you. Ma Dapao told you about Meng Qian this morning, Mi Wu's daughter. We went to look for her this afternoon and said some harsh things to her, but she still wouldn't leave and even insisted on seeing you, but I didn't agree."

As he spoke, he turned the computer screen around to show Su Tao the surveillance footage: "People are still setting up tents outside."

Su Tao frowned: "It's late at night, and the guests are all mixed. She can't even recognize who has abused her. Why is she so stubborn?"

Qi Yunlan sighed, "I thought so too, but she seems to have a very deep relationship with her father. I told her about the risks of staying overnight, and she gritted her teeth and agreed. We have no grudge against her, and we don't really want to see her fall into this trap."

Su Tao shook her head: "Take Meng Xiaobo and go find her again and warn her one last time. If anything happens, she is an adult and must be responsible for her own choices and bear all the consequences."

They were not related in any way, and there was even some hostility between them, so Pan Liushan had no obligation to protect her.
