"Little girl, I’ll teach him a lesson for you!" Lu Dachun declared, puffing out his chest. "As the leader here, how about I deduct his performance bonus for this month?"
On his own turf, in front of more than twenty couriers, Lu Dachun was showing off his authority. He was also terrified of mishandling custor complaints. The headquarters took them extrely seriously, and if he didn’t deal with this properly, they would hold him directly responsible.
But in the next second, he realized sothing was terribly wrong.
Ye Qianqian’s expression shifted from a frown to a grave look, and finally to pure fury.
"Idol Su Xuan is my boyfriend!" she announced. "If you dare deduct his bonus, I will make your life a living hell! I’ll even report you to the proper authorities!"
Lu Dachun was dumbfounded. All the other couriers were dumbfounded, too.
What’s going on? We haven’t heard anything about Su Xuan getting a girlfriend. Wasn’t he the one always preaching about freedom and happiness? How did he suddenly get a girlfriend? And one who’s this ridiculously beautiful and bursting with youth?
They had no idea that Su Xuan had just dumped a materialistic girl nad Zhang Tingting earlier that day.
"We only t an hour or two ago. We can’t be considered a couple," Su Xuan explained helplessly.
But as soon as the words left his mouth, everyone was dumbfounded all over again.
What?! You just t for an hour or two, and you’ve already snagged such an absurdly gorgeous girl? Look at the way she’s defending you—she’s clearly smitten!
Overco with envy and jealousy, they all scratched their heads in frustration.
This is so unfair! Does being handso give you a license to be so lawless? How are us single dogs supposed to live? Have you even considered our feelings?
"I don’t care!" Ye Qianqian clung tightly to Su Xuan’s arm. "Liking you is my business and my freedom! If you’ve got the guts, try and stop from liking you!"
My head is spinning! My heart aches!
Lu Dachun couldn’t maintain his composure any longer. He steadied himself against his desk and took a sip of cold water. He was beginning to regret calling Su Xuan back for a eting. This had basically turned into a grand stage for Su Xuan to show off.
No! I have to take Su Xuan down a peg! This is a workplace, not a stage for you to show off!
"Su Xuan, tell , besides being handso, what else do you have to offer? Can you really provide this young lady with happiness?" Lu Dachun said gravely. "Once she grows up a little and sees more of the world, do you think she’ll still be interested in you?"
"Yeah!"
"Su Xuan, don’t ruin this poor girl’s life!"
"Unless your family suddenly strikes oil..."
The other couriers chid in, their words a mix of flattery toward their boss and pure jealousy.
"I’ve studied abroad! I’ve seen more of the world than all of you put together!" Ye Qianqian retorted, clearly displeased. "Countless n have chased after , and I couldn’t be bothered with any of them. I just happen to like an idol like Su Xuan! Besides, he isn’t just handso, he also has..."
Ye Qianqian was about to reveal the secret of Su Xuan’s hundred-million-yuan supercar, but she saw him give her a slight shake of his head. She imdiately clamped her mouth shut. After a mont’s thought, she figured she understood his aning. He didn’t want people to know about his wealth, probably afraid their attitudes toward him would change, making him uncomfortable and affecting his mood at work.
"Alright, this is all my private business. Let’s start the eting," Su Xuan said calmly.
"Cough, cough! Right, let’s begin!" Lu Dachun cleared his throat. "The Shopping Festival is about to start, which ans our courier industry is facing a huge challenge. And our couriers... uh, our couriers will..."
Lu Dachun suddenly trailed off. He saw that none of the couriers were listening to him. Their minds were wandering as they all snuck glances at Ye Qianqian, their faces filled with infatuation and bliss.
As for Ye Qianqian, she had already taken a seat next to Su Xuan. Like a hardcore fangirl, she cupped her face with her hands and gazed adoringly at him.
In the entire room, Su Xuan was the only one actually listening to the eting.
Damn it! This eting is going nowhere!
Lu Dachun angrily slamd his hand on the table. He bent down and pulled out a large pile of adhesive advertising slogans from underneath.
"Alright, everyone line up and get one of these. One per person! Stick them on your tricycles so our custors can see our attitude toward the Shopping Festival! Show so fighting spirit, hurry up!"
The couriers finally tore their gazes away from Ye Qianqian and queued up for the stickers.
"Idol Su Xuan, don’t move. I’ll get it for you!"
Just as Su Xuan was about to get up, Ye Qianqian pressed his hand down and volunteered to get in line for him.
Su Xuan shrugged helplessly.
What a hassle. When will I ever find the peace and quiet everyone else enjoys? When will I be as lonely as the snow?
"Oh, ladies first! You go ahead!"
"That’s right, ladies first!"
"We’re not in a hurry!"
The mont the couriers saw Ye Qianqian join the queue, they imdiately made way, ushering her straight to the front of the line.
"Thank you, everyone!" she said with a sweet smile. "You’re all such gentlen, so adorable!"
When she smiled, her beauty score was a solid 95. How could the couriers possibly withstand that? They couldn’t help but break into foolish grins.
For God’s sake, look at this spineless bunch! Did you all crawl out from so backwater village? Haven’t you ever seen a pretty girl before? Look at —I haven’t given her a second glance!
Seeing his subordinates, Lu Dachun snorted with disdain.
"Hello, could I have one, please?"
The next second, Ye Qianqian extended her delicate, jade-like hand toward Lu Dachun.
How can a hand look like that? It’s too perfect! I really want to just... lick it!
Seeing her hand up close, Lu Dachun completely lost his composure. A glistening strand of saliva trickled down the corner of his mouth, making him look even more pathetic than the rest of the couriers.
「A few minutes later,」
Everyone had received their stickers and went out into the courtyard to affix them to their tricycles. In truth, after reading the slogan, none of them actually wanted to put it on.
In huge letters, it read:
*Shunfeng Express: Delivery Guaranteed!*
*For every second of delay, we sacrifice a courier to the heavens!*
This slogan was Lu Dachun’s idea! It’s absolutely abhorrent!
Su Xuan, however, didn’t really care. It was just a slogan. What he did care about was a more pressing question.
Where is my tricycle?
He had asked Li Ranran to bring it over, but it was nowhere to be seen.
"Su Xuan, where’s your tricycle?" Lu Dachun spotted the issue imdiately, feeling he had finally caught Su Xuan in a mistake.
A tricycle is a courier’s life! Man and vehicle are one! If the vehicle is lost, the man is lost!
"Well..." Su Xuan wasn’t sure how to answer. He was about to call Li Ranran to find out.
"Boss Su, I’m so sorry!" a voice called out. "I ran into so trouble on the way, so I’m late bringing your tricycle!"
Just then, a beautiful figure ca into view, riding a tricycle.
The crowd was once again struck speechless.
