The Strongest Delivery Man - Chapter 11

After signing the paper, Xiao Yang spoke up again, “Mr. Fang, from now on, you are officially my boss. The monthly profits from the commercial street will be deposited into your account. If you need anything, you can call me directly.”

Fang Ye smiled. “Nothing much for now, just that Assistant Manager Ma…”

Xiao Yang immediately responded, “Rest assured, Mr. Fang. I’ll have him fired right away, and all the security guards will be dismissed as well!”

“Leave the security guards. Captain Lu seems like a decent guy, probably give him a raise or something.” Fang Ye said with a grin. “Oh, and one more thing, I think the rent for the milk tea shop is a bit high. You should do something about that.”

“Understood. I’ll take care of it. From now on, the milk tea shop won’t have to pay rent at all!”

Fang Ye shook his head. “That’s too much. Let’s do this— cut the rent in half and never raise it again.”

Xiao Yang nodded. “Got it. I’ll do exactly as you say, Mr. Fang.”

“Also, unless there’s something really important, don’t bother me about the commercial street. I need to focus on my food delivery job. I’m very busy.”

“…Understood, Mr. Fang.”

As Fang Ye returned to the milk tea shop, Xiao Yang and his secretary finally snapped out of their daze.

“Mr. Xiao, our boss is worth at least tens of billions. Why would he willingly work as a food delivery guy? That’s such a downgrade,” the secretary said, utterly confused.

“If you ask me, I think he’s into the owner of the milk tea shop,” Xiao Yang replied with a smile. “Miss Xia is indeed beautiful. She has that kind of charm that makes men want to protect her. It’s not surprising that the boss is captivated.”

“Then why doesn’t he just pursue her openly? Why go through all this trouble pretending to be a delivery guy? With his wealth, there aren’t many women who could resist him. The world of rich people is really hard to understand.” The secretary pouted slightly, feeling a bit resentful. After all, she didn’t think she was any less attractive than Xia Wei.

A few minutes later, Fang Ye hopped onto his electric scooter and headed out for deliveries.

He successfully completed eight orders continuously in the afternoon, but none of them triggered a reward.

His last order before finishing work was to an old residential area. As he was leaving, the female customer suddenly called out to him.

“Hey, could you help me take some trash downstairs?”

Fang Ye’s heart skipped a beat. Every time he had triggered a reward, it was because of a customer’s extra request. Could this time also…

“Of course,” he agreed without hesitation.

“Thank you so much! Please wait a second, I’ll be right back.” The woman beamed and quickly returned with two large bags of trash.

As soon as he tossed the bags into the dumpster down stairs, the system’s voice, as expected, rang in his mind.

“Congratulations! You have completed a special delivery. Your reward is Mastery in Driving Skills!”

The moment Fang Ye got back on his scooter, he felt completely different. It was almost as if he had merged with the vehicle itself. He could sense every strength and weakness of the scooter with crystal-clear precision.

“Could this be what they call the ultimate connection between man and machine?”

As he revved the engine, the scooter shot forward like an arrow, weaving through traffic effortlessly. In the blink of an eye, he had vanished from sight…

Back at the milk tea shop, Xia Wei threw her arms around him in excitement.

“W-Wei, sis, what are you doing?” Fang Ye nearly suffocated; her figure was simply too… overwhelming.

“Assistant Manager Ma got fired! And I just got a call from the property management saying that starting next month, my rent will be cut in half!” Xia Wei’s eyes curved into crescent moons as she grinned. “Be honest, was this your doing?”

“It wasn’t me…” Fang Ye deliberately dragged out his words. “Then who else could it be?”

“I finally don’t have to worry about this anymore! Thank you!” Overcome with joy, Xia Wei impulsively kissed Fang Ye on the cheek.

“It was nothing. The boss is actually a relative of mine, but he’s low-key and doesn’t want me talking about it everywhere.” It was the first time in his life that Fang Ye had been kissed like that, and his face turned slightly red.

“Fang Ye, this milk tea shop is the result of my years of hard work. I really have to thank you this time!” Xia Wei also realized that what she did was kind of improper and hurriedly let go of his arm. “Starting this month, I’ll give you a raise of a thousand dollars. How about that?”

“As long as you’re happy.” Fang Ye smiled. “That guy named Ma might try to get revenge in the future. If I’m not around, remember to give me a call.”

“Got it. I’ll keep an eye out for him. It’s getting late now, so I’ll let you off work early!”

“Thanks, Sis!”

When Fang Ye returned to school, he was surprised to find all his roommates there.

“Lil’ Ye, you finally decided to come back!” The eldest of the group, Meng Hu, immediately put his arm around Fang Ye’s shoulder. “We haven’t seen you for two days, and suddenly you’re driving a Lambo? You’ve been keeping secrets from us, huh?”

“I wasn’t hiding anything. You guys are always out and about at night, so I never get to see you.” Fang Ye smiled wryly.

The second eldest, Hu Fei, spoke with a slightly jealous tone. “Lil bro, you’ve got some serious luck, eh? Even a rich and beautiful woman has fallen for you. I’m impressed!”

“Rich woman? Who?” Fang Ye was stunned.

“Come on, stop pretending! The video and posts might have been deleted, but the whole school already knows about your glorious achievement!” The third eldest, Qin Yiming, grinned mischievously. “That woman has an absolutely stunning body, especially those long legs. She’s the kind you could admire for years! If she ever gets tired of you, how about recommending me?”

Fang Ye finally understood. Someone must have taken a video of Qin Yanran getting into his car last night, exaggerated the story, and posted it online, branding him as a “kept man.”

Even though he was being maliciously slandered, he had no intention of explaining himself. After all, as the saying goes, “the truth will speak for itself.”

Meng Hu spoke loudly, “Lil bro, it’s infuriating to compare ourselves to you. The three of us have been thinking about it, and we decided that tonight, we’re going to feast at your expense! Do you accept?”

Among the four roommates, only Hu Fei had ever had a girlfriend, and even then, he got dumped in less than a month. So, of course, they felt indignant about Fang Ye’s newfound fortune.

“Fine, fine, whatever you guys say!” Fang Ye wasn’t short on money at the moment, so he agreed without hesitation.

“Alright, let’s to the hot pot restaurant right now. After we eat and drink to our hearts’ content, we’ll hit the gaming café with the best setups— Trench Warfare!”

“Boss, isn’t Trench Warfare a bit far?” Qin Yiming asked.

Hu Fei chuckled. “You don’t get it, bro. Trench Warfare is famous for having gorgeous female staff. If we’re lucky enough to meet the owner, I guarantee you’ll be drooling!”

“For real?” Qin Yiming’s eyes lit up. “Alright, Trench Warfare it is!”

Since one Lamborghini couldn’t fit them all, Meng Hu ordered a rideshare. The four of them had a feast at the hot pot restaurant before heading to Trench Warfare internet Café.

To the disappointment of Meng Hu and the others, the owner, Wen Xin, wasn’t there. But Fang Ye was secretly relieved.

With his wealth, he casually booked the most luxurious private room, 688 dollars per hour, complete with unlimited drinks and alcohol. There was even a stunning gaming attendant dressed in an AJ uniform, which left Meng Hu and the others staring in awe.

“Alright, brothers! If you’re a real man, drop into the airport and start a gunfight!” Meng Hu wasn’t the best player, but he sure had enthusiasm.

The other three cheered and joined in the game.

While they were having a blast, a displeased Wen Xin entered the café.

“Boss, you don’t look too happy. What’s wrong?” A female staff member noticed her unusual mood.

“Don’t even mention it! It’s driving me crazy! The car I ordered three months ago still hasn’t arrived. It’s infuriating!” Wen Xin huffed. “I have to drive the Z4 to my appointment tonight. There’s no way I’ll win the race!”

Suddenly, something came to mind, and she turned around. “Oh right, is there a guy named Fang Ye here to play games?”

“Let me check.” The female staff tapped on the computer for a moment. “Yes, he booked Private Room No. 1. There are four of them in total.”

“This is my chance!” Wen Xin’s eyes lit up with excitement, and she rushed toward the private room.

When she appeared, Meng Hu and the others were instantly mesmerized.

Hu Fei whispered to Qin Yiming, “See that? That absolute stunner is the owner of Trench Warfare. She’s the reason we came here!”

Qin Yiming nearly started drooling.

With an owner that gorgeous, who cared if the café was twice as far away?

“Why is she here, though?” Meng Hu asked in confusion.

“What else? She’s obviously been charmed by our good looks!” Hu Fei laughed. “Except our youngest bro, who’s already taken, it’s every man for himself!”

“Agreed…”

Just as the three of them reached an agreement, Wen Xin walked walked over—

—And sat down right next to Fang Ye…
