The Strongest Delivery Man - Chapter 5
If it were the old Fang Ye, he might have given up right away, but now, not to mention a five-star hotel, he can afford even more luxurious places!
However, he was still a little unhappy. It’s not like Lin Shuangshuang didn’t know his family’s situation. Inviting his roommates was fine, but choosing to celebrate at such a place was clearly making things difficult for him!
After considering for a few seconds, he replied, “Whatever you decide, I have no objections!”
“Great, then I’ll make the arrangements. See you tonight, remember to be early if possible!”
“Okay, I’ve already ordered the birthday cake, I’ll bring it over.”
“Okay.”
After putting down the phone, Lin Shuangshuang’s dormitory burst into laughter.
“Hahahaha, Shuangshuang, I find Fang Ye quite cute, he agreed so quickly?” Her roommate Liang Xiaoli laughed.
Another roommate, Du Qian, said, “I think he’s been delivering food so much that he’s lost his mind. He didn’t even Google what kind of place the Ruihao Hotel is. The minimum charge for a private room is 18,888. I really want to see his expression when he gets the bill. Hahahaha, I can’t wait!”
“Isn’t this a bit too much? He’s just a poor student, wouldn’t this be a bit excessive?” The last roommate, Luo Na, was more kind-hearted and still felt sympathy for Fang Ye.
“Being poor means he should know his place. Wanting to chase after our class beauty when he has no money? That’s too much wishful thinking, right?” Liang Xiaoli sneered. “We’ll let him experience the harsh reality of society in advance today. This is actually for his own good. After graduation, he’ll have some self-awareness and won’t be living in a fantasy world anymore.”
“I agree with Xiaoli,” Du Qian chimed in. “People should know their limits. We’re actually guiding him towards self-improvement.”
“But what if he can’t pay?” Luo Na asked softly.
“Don’t worry, Xiaona. A’Qi has already said that we’re just scaring him a little. He won’t be troubled by such a small amount of money,” Lin Shuangshuang said with a smile while applying eye cream. “You’re so worried, are you falling for Fang Ye? Do you want to develop something with him in the future? I can be your matchmaker!”
Liang Xiaoli giggled, “That’s right, although Fang Ye is poor, he’s actually quite good-looking. Otherwise, our class beauty wouldn’t have listed him as one of her backup options.”
“I… I didn’t fall for him!” Luo Na quickly retorted.
“Oh my, when did you two become so close? You’re even calling him A’Qi?” Du Qian said with a hint of jealousy.
Zhou Qi was undoubtedly the Campus idol, and many girls were infatuated with him.
“You’re such a gossip,” Lin Shuangshuang rolled her eyes at her and continued to do her makeup…
After getting off work, Fang Ye drove to the cake shop to pick up the birthday cake.
On the way to the hotel, he received a voice call from Wen Xin.
“Hello?”
“Big shot, are you free now?” Wen Xin said sweetly.
“What’s up?”
“Can you come and carry me in PUBG?”
“I’m busy, maybe next time!” Fang Ye hung up the voice call directly.
He thought it was something important, but she was just asking him to play games with her. Has she lost her mind?
“You…” Wen Xin glared at the phone in her hand, barely suppressing the urge to throw it.
She’s sure she counts as a beauty, but why is Fang Ye not giving a sh1t about her?
She patted herself on the chest. “Don’t be mad. Don’t be mad. If you get sick from anger people will just be glad…”
The eye-catching Lamborghini Veneno slowly entered the Ruihao Hotel. The security guard didn’t direct Fang Ye to the underground parking lot but instead had him park directly in front of the hotel entrance. This not only attracted attention and showcased the hotel’s prestige atmosphere, but also greatly facilitated the VIP guests, truly a win-win situation.
When the security guard saw Fang Ye, dressed in cheap clothes, step out of the car, he showed no surprise.
These days, the richer people are, the more low-key they act. He had seen people in shorts and flip-flops driving sports cars, so Fang Ye was nothing out of the ordinary.
As Fang Ye arrived at the private room Lin Shuangshuang had reserved, the four girls were already chatting and laughing inside.
“Fang Ye’s here, come on, come sit next to the birthday girl!” Liang Xiaoli invited him to the seat between Lin Shuangshuang and Luo Na, while Du Qian placed the cake on a nearby coffee table.
Everyone knew Fang Ye was a food delivery guy, so they all kind of looked down on him. Only Lin Shuangshuang and Luo Na chatted with him for a bit at the beginning, but after a while he was left sitting there with no other choice but to play on his phone.
As the time neared 7 o’clock, Fang Ye started to feel the side effect of his physical enhancement, which made him felt hungry faster. He couldn’t help but ask, “when will the dishes be served?”
“Just wait for a while longer, Zhou Qi and Zhang Zikai haven’t arrived yet.” Lin Shuangshuang replied carelessly.
Hearing this, Fang Ye had a pretty good idea of what was going on. Zhang Zikai hadn’t lied. Judging by Lin Shuangshuang’s attitude, she had most likely confirmed her relationship with Zhou Qi.
“Fang Ye, I have some snacks here, why don’t you fill your stomach with these first?” Luo Na handed him a bag of cookies.
“Thanks!” Fang Ye took them without hesitation. He was genuinely hungry.
Seeing him wolf down the cookies, Lin Shuangshuang and Liang Xiaoli looked at him with even more disdain, while only Luo Na poured him a cup of tea.
Just as he finished the bag of cookies, the door of the private room was pushed open. A handsome man, accompanied by Zhang Zikai and the blonde girl, strode in with a bouquet of 99 roses in hand.
Upon seeing Zhou Qi, the four girls’ eyes lit up at the same time.
“Sorry, there was a bit of traffic, so I’m late,” Zhou Qi smiled and handed the roses to Lin Shuangshuang. “Shuangshuang, happy birthday, and may you become more and more beautiful!”
“Thank you!” After smelling the fragrance of the roses, Lin Shuangshuang felt her heart melt. This was the Prince Charming she had always dreamed of!
Liang Xiaoli and Du Qian’s faces were filled with envy, wishing they could switch places with Lin Shuangshuang.
Zhou Qi was very pleased with the girls’ reactions. He glanced at the inconspicuous Fang Ye and sat down next to Lin Shuangshuang.
With everyone present, the waiters quickly began serving the dishes: shark fin and bird’s nest soup, Australian lobster, Buddha’s temptation, grouper…
Although Fang Ye hadn’t eaten these dishes before, he had seen them online. In short, they were all very expensive!
Seeing that there were no signs of taken aback on Fang Ye’s face, they assumed that he was just really unsophisticated and didn’t know the price of the dishes.
But this was even better; when the time came to pay the bill, they could enjoy his look of sheer terror…
”Shuangshuang. Is this your classmate or boyfriend? Why aren’t you introducing him to us?” Zhou Qi asked with a smile on his face.
“He’s my friend, Fang Ye. He’s also a senior.” Lin Shuangshuang didn’t add the word “boy-“ on purpose
“Oh?” Zhou Qi reached out his hand towards Fang Ye. “Nice to meet you. I’m Zhou Qi
“Nice to meet you.” Fang Ye shook his hand lightly.
“Fang, you have good tastes! You actually booked a room here for Shuangshuang’s birthday party. You’re really willing to spend money!” Zhou Qi said deliberately, while secretly placing his hand on Lin Shuangshuang’s thigh, which she didn’t seem to mind.
“It’s okay, as long as she’s happy. Money doesn’t matter,” Fang Ye smiled.
Fang Ye’s nonchalant smile made Zhou Qi chuckle inside. Just keep smiling buddy, you’ll be crying later!
“By the way, I saw a Lamborghini Veneno parked outside the hotel earlier. Do you know who the owner is?”
“No idea,” Fang Ye played dumb. He didn’t know that Zhang Zikai had seen everything during the day and had told his cousin his theory: Fang Ye had spent a fortune renting the supercar to win Lin Shuangshuang over tonight!
Zhou Qi had brought up this topic to expose Fang Ye’s “scheme” and humiliate him in front of everyone.
He had even set the stage for Fang Ye to show off his rented car, but Fang Ye wasn’t taking the bait.
Seeing Fang Ye not playing along, Zhou Qi felt like his punch had landed on cotton. He turned and glared at his cousin.
Zhang Zikai understood and immediately said loudly, “y Fang Ye, you’ve got to be joking. I clearly saw you driving the Veneno during the day. Or you’re going to say I saw the wrong person?”
Fang Ye Driving a sports car?!
As soon as Zhang Zikai finished talking, Lin Shuangshuang and the others all had a disbelief expression on their faces.
This is even rarer than a pig flying!
The money he makes from one delivery probably isn’t enough for the lambo’s gas!
“That’s right!” Fang Ye nodded seriously. “You must have mistook someone else as me!”
Zhang Zikai was at a loss. Since Fang Ye denied it, what else could he possibly do? Ask the hotel security to check the surveillance footage?
They wouldn’t care!
“That doesn’t matter, let’s raise a toast to the birthday girl!” Zhou Qi didn’t want to dwell on the matter and stood up while raising his glass.
After the toast, Zhou Qi suddenly frowned.
“Fang, this red wine you ordered doesn’t seem to taste right.”
