The Strongest Delivery Man - Chapter 8

“Say whatever you want, but I’m just not paying!” Hardening his resolve, he shamelessly refused.

Fang Ye directly struck Zhou Qi’s sore spot: “You don’t have the money to pay, do you?”

“I don’t! Neither do you?” Zhou Qi retorted angrily.

“Sorry to disappoint you, but I actually do.” Fang Ye smiled slightly.

“Bullshit! You’re full of it!” Zhou Qi sneered. “If you actually have that kind of money, I’ll get down on my knees and call you ‘Grandpa’ three times!”

“No need, I don’t want a grandson like you anyways.” Fang Ye chuckled and pulled out a bank card. “Miss, do you accept card payments?”

“Yes, sir!” The waitress took the card and swiped it on the POS machine. After Fang Ye entered a few digits, the payment was completed.

What the hell? This guy actually has more than two million?!

Liang Xiaoli and the others nearly had their eyeballs pop out of their sockets. They saw it clearly—this wasn’t a credit card, which meant Fang Ye actually had that much money in his account!

Lin Shuangshuang’s gaze toward Fang Ye turned incredibly complicated. She never could have imagined that the backup option she had discarded was actually a hidden rich kid. Someone who could casually drop over two million on a meal—just how wealthy was his family?

“I have deliveries to make tomorrow. You guys enjoy yourselves. I’m off. Bye!” Fang Ye waved and strode out of the private room.

“Holy crap! Did we completely misjudge him? That Veneno car really does belong to Fang Ye!” Zhang Zikai slapped his thigh. “This guy hid his wealth so well—no wonder even the internet café owner wanted to add him on WeChat!”

“No way! Where the hell did this guy get so much money?” Zhou Qi’s eyes turned bloodshot as he yelled. “He must’ve scammed it! He’s just a damn food delivery guy. How could he compare to me?”

After getting completely humiliated by Fang Ye, Zhou Qi was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

“Oh right, Nana, take out the gift Fang Ye gave you.” Du Qian suddenly remembered what Fang Ye had said earlier—that hair clip was supposedly worth more than the Swarovski swan necklace!

“Alright.” Luo Na was also a little curious. She opened the seemingly simple wooden box, revealing an exquisite hair clip encrusted with black diamonds. Inside, there was also an invoice and a certificate.

Holding up the certificate, Du Qian’s voice trembled: “Oh my god, this is the Alexander Black Swan hair clip—only 100 pieces in the world, priced at 230,000!”

Lin Shuangshuang almost lunged forward to snatch it back upon hearing that.

What kind of mistake has she made? She just let the chance of getting such an expensive hair clip slip right out of her hands?!

No! She has to fix this! Luckily, she didn’t explicitly reject Fang Ye tonight, so she still has a chance. If she pursued him now, with her looks and charm, she can definitely outshine Luo Na!

Having made up her mind, Lin Shuangshuang quickly grabbed her bag and rushed out.

Zhou Qi stumbled, almost losing his balance. His reputation had been completely crushed under Fang Ye’s feet and stomped on repeatedly.

Seeing Lin Shuangshuang’s regretful expression, he knew that all his efforts tonight had been in vain…

Feeling quite pleased, Fang Ye whistled as he got into his car. Just as he was about to start the engine, a tall woman in professional attire approached and tapped on his window.

Turning his head, he was surprised to see Qin Yanran, the woman he had met earlier during day. It was in her house that his system had activated.

“Hey there, beautiful. What’s up?”

“Bro, I didn’t expect you to be so low-key. Delivering food by day, living like a rich kid by night?” Qin Yanran smiled, her beauty absolutely captivating. Fang Ye couldn’t help but gulp before her presence..

“Right back at you. You’re doing pretty well yourself.” Fang Ye pointed at her name tag. “So, you’re actually the general manager of Ruihao Hotel?”

“Don’t I seem like it to you?” Qin Yanran subtly straightened up, accentuating her impressive figure. Her long, shapely legs were especially eye-catching.

“Let me formally introduce myself. Qin Yanran.”

“Fang Ye.” He reached out his hand for a light handshake, noting the softness of her delicate fingers.

“I’ve always wanted to check out Veneno. Mind giving me a ride?”

“Not at all!” Fang Ye had a good impression of Qin Yanran, so he naturally wouldn’t refuse her like he had with Wen Xin.

As the scissor doors lifted, Qin Yanran held down the hem of her skirt to prevent any mishaps before elegantly sliding into the seat. And this scene happened to be witnessed by Lin Shuangshuang, Zhou Qi, and the others!

Before Lin Shuangshuang could call out, the Veneno engine let out a deep roar and, under the respectful salutes of the hotel’s security guards, sped off.

“Damn it! I was one step too late!” Lin Shuangshuang stomped her foot angrily. For the first time, she resented her stylish high heels—they looked great but were terrible for running!

“Hey, bro, is that woman from your hotel?” Zhang Zikai handed a cigarette to one of the security guards.

“You mean General Manager Qin?” The security guard grinned upon seeing the premium cigarette. “She doesn’t work for the hotel. To be precise, this hotel belongs to her family.”

“Wait, she’s the eldest daughter of the Qin family?” Zhou Qi was completely dumbfounded.

In Huahai, the Qin, Qi, Liu, and Wang families were the four most powerful clans, with the Qin family reigning at the top for years. Their wealth was beyond imagination!

“Damn, no wonder Fang Ye can afford a multi-million-dollar sports car. He’s hooked up with a super-rich lady!” Zhang Zikai’s voice dripped with envy.

He just couldn’t understand. Why didn’t this kind of good fortune ever happen to him?

“Tch! I can’t believe it! I, Zhou Qi, have been utterly disgraced, losing to a damn freeloader!” Zhou Qi spat on the ground angrily.

Zhang Zikai suddenly had an idea. “Bro, since Fang Ye is so shameless, why don’t we give him some ‘publicity’?”

“You mean… spread rumors about him being a gold-digger and ruin his reputation at school?” Zhou Qi’s eyes lit up—that was a perfect way to get back at him!

Zhang Zikai smirked. “Exactly. I’ve got a friend who’s a moderator on the school forum. I already recorded a video just now. Once we edit it and post it online, plus hire some trolls to stir things up, I guarantee Fang Ye will be the biggest joke on campus!”

“Let’s do that!” Zhou Qi nodded. “Oh, and make sure to blur the Qin family’s young lady’s face. If her family finds out, we’ll be in serious trouble!”

“Don’t worry, bro. I got this. It’ll be flawless!”

“Alright, I’ll cover the cost for the hired trolls. If you do a great job, I’ll reward you with 50,000 dollars!”

“Thanks, bro…”

Ten minutes later, Fang Ye parked his Veneno near a high-end residential area beside a barbecue stall.

As soon as Qin Yanran stepped out, a man nearby quickly grabbed his phone: “Hey, Brother Li. The target’s back. Looks like she’s stopping for barbecue… Yeah, yeah, she’s at the main street entrance.”

“Thanks for the ride. I don’t have much to offer, so how about I treat you to some skewers?” Qin Yanran smiled.

Fang Ye teased, “That’s not how this should go. After saying ‘I have nothing to offer,’ shouldn’t you follow up with ‘so I’ll devote myself to you’?”

“Keep dreaming!” Qin Yanran rolled her eyes. “If you don’t want to eat, then forget it.”

“Who said I wouldn’t? Let’s go!” Fang Ye hadn’t eaten much at the hotel. Those expensive delicacies weren’t filling. Barbecue was way more to his taste.

“Looking at Qin Yanran ordering the food almost as if she had done that a thousand times,” Fang Ye asked out of curiosity. “Your assets are probably worth more than ten million dollars. Someone as beautiful and rich as you would also eat at a street food stall?’

“Aren’t you the same?” Qin Yanran smiled. “Driving a Lamborghini Veneno yet doing a food delivering job. Drinking a 2 million dollar red wine in a single meal, yet aren’t you sitting here all the same?”

“Good point. Oh right, we should probably ask the shopkeeper to add more chili. It tastes better that way…

Just as they were enjoying their meal, a van screeched to a stop nearby. Seven or eight rough-looking thugs stepped out.

Tattoos covering their bodies, making them look like they’re from some sort of a gang. Passersby instinctively avoided eye contact and stepped out of their way.

The buzz-cut leader whispered, “Keep your eyes open. Scare off the guy, but don’t hurt the woman. Most importantly, don’t harm the shop keeper. Got it?”

“Got it, Brother Rat!”

“Then move it!”

The group of men swaggered toward the barbecue stall…
