The Strongest Delivery Man - Chapter 10

“Stop!” Fang Ye couldn’t believe his eyes. In broad daylight, someone dared to act like a thug? He grabbed the man by the collar and yanked him forcefully, making him fall straight to the ground.

The man was startled, but when he realized that his attacker was just a food delivery guy who looked like a student, his confidence returned.

Just as he was about to struggle to his feet, Fang Ye kicked him back down.

That kick was so strong that it nearly knocked the wind out of him.

“You little brat, do you know who I am?!” the man shouted furiously.

“I don’t care who you are! You dare to harass my sis? Believe it or not, I’ll chop off your hands!” Fang Ye didn’t care about his identity. His boss had always treated him well, so standing up for her was the least he could do.

“Alright, alright! You damn delivery guy, just you wait! In ten minutes, I’ll have you both on your knees, begging me for mercy!” The man finally managed to stand up, pointed a finger at Fang Ye, and cursed angrily.

“Get lost!” Fang Ye kicked him again, sending him rolling out of the milk tea shop like a tumbling gourd, drawing the attention of passersby.

“Wahhhhhhh!” Xia Wei collapsed onto the cashier counter, sobbing uncontrollably.

“Sis, don’t be scared! I’m here!” Fang Ye patted her shoulder gently and handed her a tissue. “Who the hell is that guy?”

“He’s Deputy Manager Ma from the property management. He’s in charge of collecting rent,” Xia Wei explained, wiping her tears. “The store’s lease is about to expire, and he said they’re increasing the rent by 30%. If I don’t accept, I won’t be able to renew the lease. I tried pleading with him, and he took the chance to touch me…”

Fang Ye slammed the table in anger. “Raising the rent by 30% all at once? Why doesn’t he just go rob people instead?”

“You don’t understand. The location of Jinding Commercial Street is just too good. They don’t have to worry about finding tenants, so they raise the rent almost every year,” Xia Wei smiled bitterly. “I use high-quality ingredients for my milk tea, and my profit margin is already thin. If the rent really increases that much, I’d be running the business at a loss!”

“Don’t worry, Sis. Leave this to me! I promise, not a single cent of the rent will be increased!” Fang Ye thumped his chest confidently.

After all, he owned the entire commercial street now. Even dropping her rent entirely wouldn’t be a big deal.

“You?” Xia Wei touched his forehead. “Hmm, you’re not having a fever. Why are you talking nonsense?”

“I’m not talking nonsense. I mean it!”

“Then tell me, why would Deputy Manager Ma listen to you?”

“Because… because I know the owner of the commercial street!” Fang Ye had no choice but to come up with this excuse.

“You know the owner?” Xia Wei almost burst out laughing. “What’s your relationship with him?”

“He’s… a relative of mine. Don’t ask for details.” Fang Ye brushed it off with a vague reply.

Just as Xia Wei was about to press further, a large group of uniformed security guards suddenly arrived outside. Leading them was none other than the Deputy Manager Ma, who had just been kicked out.

The milk tea shop wasn’t very big, and with over a dozen people rushing in at once, it instantly felt packed.

“Deputy Manager Ma, what do you think you’re doing?”

Xia Wei’s face turned pale. She had thought he was just making empty threats earlier, but he actually came back with reinforcements.

These security guards all worked for the commercial street’s property management company. Each one looked fierce and intimidating, with rubber batons strapped to their waists. The moment they entered, they cast menacing looks at the two of them.

“What do I want? Did you forget what I just said?” Deputy Manager Ma sneered. “Kid, I’ll give you two choices: either kneel and plead for your life, or get beaten up and thrown onto the street. Your call!”

“Deputy Manager Ma, assault is illegal! I’ll call the police on you!” Xia Wei shouted angrily.

“Go ahead, call them if you dare! This brat hit me first. We’ll see who gets in trouble!” Deputy Manager Ma wasn’t fazed at all. “Oh, and one more thing. Starting next month, your rent will increase by 50%! If you don’t like it, get out!”

Fang Ye scoffed. “You’re just a deputy manager, and yet you’re acting so high and mighty? Is this commercial street yours? Do you think you can raise the rent however you like?”

“Maybe it’s not mine, but it’s within my authority to handle. What can you do about it?” Deputy Manager Ma said arrogantly. “I’ll count to three. If you don’t apologize and plead, don’t blame me for what happens next!”

“Well, I’m not going anywhere. If you’ve got the guts, come at me!” Fang Ye pulled Xia Wei behind him, ready to take on everyone by himself.

“Fang Ye, are you nuts? They’ll beat you to death!” Xia Wei panicked.

Fang Ye gave her a reassuring look and picked up a folding stool.

This thing had just the right weight and a good attack range. Against rubber batons, it actually had an advantage. Given his current physical strength, Fang Ye felt confident he could take them on.

“Kid, you’ve got guts. I’ll go easy on you,” the head of security, Lu Jun, said with a hint of admiration. In this day and age, pretty boys and weaklings were everywhere, seeing a young man with this much backbone was rare.

“Thanks,” Fang Ye replied politely. Just by looking at Lu Jun’s stance, he could tell the man was a retired soldier.

“Captain Lu, what are you waiting for? Get him!” Deputy Manager Ma urged impatiently.

Lu Jun didn’t want to offend him, so he gave the order, and his men closed in.

Just as the standoff was about to erupt into a fight, the door to the milk tea shop was suddenly pushed open.

“What are you all doing?”

A stern-looking middle-aged man stepped inside and shouted.

“None of your damn business! Get lost—” Deputy Manager Ma turned around cursing, but the moment he saw the man’s face, he choked on his words.

“Ge-General Manager Xiao?!”

The newcomer was none other than Xiao Yang, the general manager of Jinding Commercial Street’s property management company. Behind him was a beautiful secretary with glasses, holding a stack of documents.

Xiao Yang’s face was icy. “Deputy Manager Ma, what are you doing here? Organizing a gang fight?”

Deputy Manager Ma quickly replied. “General Manager Xiao, let me explain! That brat hit me first, so I had no choice but to call Captain Lu over!”

 ”You were the one harassing Wei Sis in broad daylight! I went easy on you by just beating you up!” Fang Ye sneered.

The moment Xiao Yang saw Fang Ye, his eyes lit up. He quickly walked up to the counter with his secretary and respectfully asked, “Excuse me, are you Mr. Fang?”

What was going on?

Everyone was dumbfounded by Xiao Yang’s reaction. Even Xia Wei’s mouth gaped open.

Who was Xiao Yang? A big shot who could shake up the entire commercial street with a single decision! His net worth was at least in the billions, yet he was treating a food delivery guy with such respect, even using honorifics?

Fang Ye said calmly, “There are too many people here. Let’s find a quiet place to talk.”

Xiao Yang nodded repeatedly. “Understood. Mr. Fang, please join me in my car.”

He then turned around and snapped, “You all have ten seconds to clear out! Otherwise, you’re fired!”

Deputy Manager Ma and the security guards scrambled to flee, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Fang Ye smiled. “Sis, I’ll be back soon.”

Xia Wei instinctively grabbed his hand. “Fang Ye, you said the owner is your relative… Was that actually true?”

“Of course it’s true! Liar, liar pants on fire.” Fang Ye chuckled and walked out.

There was a silver-gray Bentley parked on the side of the road. It was the company car assigned to Xiao Yang.

After getting in, Xiao Yang personally poured Fang Ye a glass of red wine.

Fang Ye waved his hand. “I still have to deliver food later, so I can’t drink.”

“Pfft!”

Hearing his words, the normally composed female secretary couldn’t help but chuckle.

Xiao Yang also found it amusing, but he still took a can of fruit juice from the car’s mini fridge. This time, Fang Ye didn’t refuse.

“Mr. Fang, this is the property ownership contract for Jinding Commercial Street. It includes detailed information on all the properties. Please review it and sign it, and the transfer will be complete.” Xiao Yang took the document from the secretary and handed it to Fang Ye.

Looking at the thick stack of documents, Fang Ye simply waved his hand. “No need to read it. Just tell me where to sign. Oh, and from now on, without my permission, don’t reveal my identity to anyone. I don’t want it interfering with my food delivery job.”

Xiao Yang and the female secretary exchanged glances, speechless. This was a property worth over 30 billion, yet in his eyes, it seemed as ordinary as a bunch of cabbages. Even his food delivery job seemed more important than this fortune!
