"My family went bankrupt years ago!"
"Forget about buying a house worth millions..."
"I can't even afford health insurance now!"
Tears suddenly spilled from Zhao Ankang's eyes.
His financial situation was dire. He couldn't even afford an electric bicycle, especially with his parents bedridden with chronic illnesses, slowly waiting to die.
"What am I going to do!"
"How did I end up so miserable!"
Zhao Ankang clutched his head, crying his heart out.
Yet, he was still very considerate, making sure his tears fell on himself so as not to dirty the Koenigsegg.
"Life is like the waves of the ocean; there are always highs and lows. Try to look on the bright side," Su Xuan consoled.
"Brother, you're really doing well for yourself now. This car must have cost a fortune, right?" Zhao Ankang's eyes were red as he glanced at Su Xuan. "Can you give a brother a hand? Maybe..."
"Just say it. How much do you need to borrow?" Su Xuan asked generously.
Lycar was his personal money tree now; taking out a few million was no problem at all.
"Money is only a temporary fix," Zhao Ankang said. "Could you help a brother find a job with a future? That's a long-term solution!"
"A job?" Su Xuan blinked.
I actually can find him a job. Didn't I just "fire" Zhang Tingting's boyfriend, Qian Zhihang? It would be perfect for Zhao Ankang to take his place. The annual salary for that position has great... prospects. Besides, Zhao Ankang is one of my own. He could definitely be my trusted man at Lycar, which comes with plenty of benefits!
"Is that possible?" Zhao Ankang looked at Su Xuan, his eyes full of hope.
"It shouldn't be a problem." Su Xuan took out his phone. "Let me make a quick call."
With that, he dialed Liu Ming.
"General Manager Liu, is this a good time?"
"Oh, President Su! Please, just call me Little Liu. Ask me anything!"
"I have an old classmate who's very competent. I'd like to recommend him to you to take over Qian Zhihang's position."
"That's fantastic! I was just wondering who to find. President Su, when can he start?"
"Hmm... how about right now?"
Su Xuan hung up and said to Zhao Ankang, "The position of Marketing Manager at the Lycar Hotel. Are you interested?"
"I am!"
"I'm more than interested!"
Zhao Ankang was ecstatic, gripping Su Xuan's hand tightly.
He squeezed so hard that he left Su Xuan's hand red, almost stopping short of planting a kiss on it.
Of course he knew Lycar! And he knew what kind of salary a marketing manager there earned! This was like a pie falling from heaven! No, this was Su Xuan hand-feeding him that pie! He was saved! His whole family was saved! On top of that, what kind of terrifying connections did Su Xuan have? He'd secured such an important position with a single, casual phone call! The man on the phone was clearly an important figure at Lycar, yet he told Su Xuan to call him 'Little Liu'!
"Brother Su Xuan..." Zhao Ankang looked at Su Xuan with tear-filled eyes, grateful beyond words. He spoke in a tone that sounded like an oath, "From now on, you're my real brother. If you ever need anything, just say the word. I'd even give you this—"
"Heh, you're being too formal," Su Xuan waved a hand, casually cutting him off. "Just treat me to a meal after you get your first paycheck."
"You got it!" Zhao Ankang said forcefully. "Brother!"
But he didn't know that his "brother" was the owner of Lycar.
"Alright." Su Xuan opened the car door. "You should head over to Lycar and report in. I still have a few more packages to deliver."
"Right, right! I'll go right now!"
Zhao Ankang got out of the car and watched the hundred-million-yuan Koenigsegg drive away.
Then, something dawned on him. Wait, Su Xuan drives a luxury car, so why is he delivering packages? What's going on? This is too unreal.
He couldn't wrap his head around it, no matter how hard he thought.
He simply bowed deeply in the direction the car had gone.
He was a man who believed in repaying his debts. Su Xuan had saved him at his lowest point, and he was truly willing to die for him.
After that, Zhao Ankang strode out of the Clearwater Gardens Estate. Forgetting about saving money, he hailed a cab straight for Lycar.
There, he received a warm welcome from Liu Ming.
When Liu Ming told him, "President Su Xuan is the owner of Lycar," it was as if a bomb had gone off in his head. He was so shocked he nearly fainted.
From that day forward, Lycar had an extra pair of vigilant eyes.
Anyone who dared to make a mistake would find themselves under their watch.
Zhao Ankang had become Su Xuan's human surveillance camera at Lycar.
「...」
"Your package, please sign for it."
"Please sign for this package..."
After parting with Zhao Ankang, Su Xuan delivered several more packages in the Clearwater Gardens Estate. To his disappointment, he didn't receive any more system rewards. He couldn't figure out the criteria for triggering a super delivery.
This is the last one. I hope I get a reward this time!
Holding the final package, Su Xuan knocked on an apartment door.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!
"Who is it?" a sweet yet sorrowful voice answered from behind the door.
"Are you Ye Qianqian? I have a package for you," Su Xuan said.
"A package? That can't be right," the voice behind the door asked cautiously. "Couriers aren't allowed inside our complex."
"It's because... I'm unreasonably handsome."
"..."
The door opened.
A young girl with twin pigtails, wearing a thin pair of cartoon pajamas, blinked her impossibly beautiful large eyes and tilted her head, studying Su Xuan. Her looks were a definite 90 out of 100. In all his days of delivering packages, Su Xuan had only seen a handful of women this attractive.
"Hello, you're Ye Qianqian, right? Please sign for this package."
Su Xuan wasn't any more enthusiastic just because she was beautiful. He coolly handed the last package to her.
"You... really are very handsome!"
Ye Qianqian had thought Su Xuan was joking, but she realized he was telling the absolute truth.
He was the most handsome courier she had ever seen.
In fact, he was the most handsome man she had ever seen, period.
Her heart fluttered the moment she saw him.
It was as if an invisible force had gently plucked the string in her heart reserved for a first love.
It was no wonder she felt that way. Since Su Xuan obtained the system and its two priceless rewards, his entire demeanor had changed. A bright warmth now softened his cold good looks and melancholic temperament, making his charm truly extraordinary.
"Hey handsome, is your heart a square?" Ye Qianqian asked, taking the package. "How else could you look so proper?"
"Ha!"
Being flirted with like this no longer fazed Su Xuan. He replied in kind, "Well, little beauty, are you a well in the desert? Because the moment I saw you, I wanted to jump right in and drink my fill."
"Pfft! You smooth-talker!" Ye Qianqian burst out laughing, her smile like a hundred flowers blooming.
Her attractiveness score instantly shot up to 95 out of 100.
"Goodbye." Su Xuan tore off the slip Ye Qianqian had signed and turned to leave.
Leaning against the doorframe, Ye Qianqian reluctantly watched him enter the elevator and disappear.
A sudden sense of loss washed over her.
Why is he so indifferent to me? Other men would be fawning all over me, practically groveling at my feet! They would crawl on the street like a dog just to make me smile!
Sigh... if he'd only talked with me a little longer, my life might have turned out differently. I'll just pretend what just happened... was a beautiful dream.
Ye Qianqian returned to her room, opened the package, and took out an incredibly sharp utility knife.
Then, she filled the bathtub with water.
She lay down inside...
...and sliced her wrist open.
Fresh blood instantly stained the water red...
"DING. The host has completed a super delivery. Reward: one billion in cash!"
Su Xuan had just reached the ground floor when he received the system notification.
He couldn't help but look up toward Ye Qianqian's apartment...
