It was already past eleven when Su Chen arrived at the delivery station, the peak of the delivery season, and the station was almost empty.
As soon as he entered, he saw the station manager, Yang Wei, busy at his computer.
"Brother Wei~ I'm here!"
Su Chen plopped down next to Yang Wei, causing him to stumble.
"My goodness, what are you doing today! Don't you know what time it is!" Yang Wei glared at Su Chen.
When he saw Su Chen's workout clothes, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Su Chen was known as the "workaholic" at their station, basically never taking a day off… just to get that extra three hundred yuan attendance bonus.
What… did the sun rise in the west today?
Yang Wei didn't think much of it, looking at Su Chen with a hint of annoyance, "What are you doing wearing that? Not going to work today?"
Su Chen stopped joking and looked at Yang Wei seriously, saying, "Brother Wei, I'm going to quit!"
Su Chen was genuinely grateful to Yang Wei; without him, Su Chen didn't know where he'd be working, tightening screws.
When he was looking for a job, he happened to meet Yang Wei, who was recruiting. After chatting, they discovered they were both from the Sichuan-Chongqing region, which naturally brought them closer.
And so, Su Chen started working as a food delivery driver with Yang Wei.
Yang Wei took great care of Su Chen, knowing he was new to the workforce and lacked experience, so as an older brother figure, he naturally offered a helping hand.
He helped Su Chen find affordable housing and personally guided him on his work, teaching him various delivery techniques and tips.
With Yang Wei's personal guidance, Su Chen quickly established himself at the delivery station.
Hearing Su Chen say he wanted to resign, Yang Wei thought he was joking. He reached out and touched Su Chen's forehead, teasingly saying, "You don't have a fever, how can you say such nonsense!"
"Brother Wei, I'm serious, I'm not joking!"
"Really?" Yang Wei looked at Su Chen with a puzzled expression. Just yesterday, they were chatting casually, and Su Chen was even smugly saying he was going to win the top sales award this month. How could things have changed so drastically overnight?
"Really!" Su Chen nodded heavily.
Yang Wei didn't say anything, but simply took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, offered one to Su Chen, and then started smoking himself.
The two of them smoked quietly, neither of them speaking.
After a long pause, Yang Wei finally spoke, "Did you find a good job?"
Su Chen was taken aback, realizing that Brother Wei thought he was going to change jobs, and quickly explained, "No, I just miss home. My mom called me last night, and I thought about how I've been away for over four years, it's time to go home and visit!"
"Even if you go home, you don't need to resign," Yang Wei said, seemingly understanding something, and didn't say anything more.
"Alright, judging from your posture, you're planning to resign today!" Yang Wei glanced at the yellow battle robe in the cloth bag on the ground as he spoke.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Wei!"
Yang Wei nodded and took a resignation letter from his desk and handed it to Su Chen.
"Just write something casually, it's just a formality!"
Su Chen understood Yang Wei's meaning, picked up a pen and filled out the resignation letter simply, then handed it to Yang Wei.
Yang Wei took the resignation letter, didn't even look at it, and threw it directly into the drawer.
"I've spoken to Sister Zhang, and she'll calculate your salary. It should be in your account by this afternoon at the latest!"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen silently stood up and bowed to Yang Wei.
"Brother Wei, thank you for taking care of me these past few years!"
Yang Wei patted him on the shoulder and said, "You're not young anymore. Remember to find someone when you go back to your hometown, and don't forget to call me when you get married!"
"Don't worry, Brother Wei, I definitely won't forget. I'm still thinking about your big red envelope!" Su Chen said with a wink.
"Get lost, you're dreaming!"
The two chatted and laughed as they walked towards the door.
Just as they stepped out of the station, a system notification sounded in Su Chen's mind.
[Congratulations, host, for completing the newbie mission and receiving the newbie gift pack. Open it now?]
Suppressing his excitement,
Su Chen silently said, "No!" He stopped at the door. "Wei-ge, let's have a farewell dinner tonight with Haozi and the others, it's on me!" Yang Wei didn't stand on ceremony
and readily agreed. After all, they had worked together for several years and had a deep bond.
"Okay~ Just send me the place reservation, and I'll take Haozi and the others there!" After
a few more pleasantries, Su Chen, under Yang Wei's watchful gaze, mounted his electric scooter and slowly merged into the traffic.
—Back
in his rented apartment, Su Chen locked the windows and doors, even drawing the curtains.
He was afraid he might excitedly shout again.
"System, open the newbie gift pack!" [
Newbie gift pack activated! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a 720 sq m duplex river-view apartment in Haijing No. 1 and an Aston Martin DBX707!]
Su Chen was stunned.
System, weren't you going to go all out right from the start?!
A mansion! A luxury car!
That's Seaview One, a luxury apartment complex located in the heart of Lujiazui CBD, costing hundreds of thousands per square meter. Could someone like him possibly afford such a place?
Su Chen silently estimated in his mind that the apartment was worth at least 200 million yuan.
That's two small goals! Even if Su Chen didn't eat or drink for his entire life, he couldn't earn a fraction of that.
System, please forgive my previous shallowness; my vision was too limited.
According to the system's instructions, he needed to go to the property management office to complete the handover procedures. The Aston Martin was quietly parked in its parking space at his luxury apartment!
Just thinking about the luxury apartment and car made Su Chen's heart race.
The shantytown where Su Chen lived wasn't far from Seaview One. He arrived at the gate of Seaview One in about twenty minutes on his electric scooter.
Just as he was about to enter the complex, a voice called out to him.
"Hello sir, if you're delivering something, you can hand it over to us!" A young security guard in a white shirt stopped Su Chen.
Looking at the smiling security guard, Su Chen was momentarily stunned, but quickly understood.
It seemed this guard mistook him for a errand boy!
However, the security guards at Seaview One were quite nice; they weren't like the "disdainful" types described in novels.
"Hello, I'm here to look at my apartment. You can call your supervisor to check. My name is Su Chen!"
Hearing Su Chen's words, the security guard's eyes narrowed noticeably, and he looked Su Chen up and down several times.
"Holy crap, is he a fake? Did he run into a rich young master out for a life-experiencing session? No way... no way!"
The security guard was also conflicted, after all, Su Chen's clothes added up to less than two hundred yuan, and he was riding a beat-up electric scooter, claiming to be a resident of the community.
It would be hard to believe for anyone.
"Mr. Su, please wait a moment, I'll ask my supervisor!"
"Okay, go ahead!" Su Chen understood the security guard's thoughts and didn't make things too difficult.
After all, they were just working, why make things difficult for each other!
Meanwhile, after returning to the guard post, the security guard immediately called his supervisor and explained the situation.
"Yes, his name is Su Chen."
"Very young."
"Is he really a resident? Or is he the owner of a duplex penthouse? Okay... supervisor, I understand!"
The security guard returned quickly, even running over.
The security guard bowed respectfully to Su Chen, "Welcome home, Mr. Su!"
Su Chen nodded, parked his electric scooter, and followed the guard into the residential area.
He hadn't gone far when he saw a stunningly beautiful woman in a business suit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and with a captivating figure running towards them. Her voluptuous figure dazzled Su Chen.
As a delivery driver, Su Chen had seen his fair share of beautiful women, even those who were scantily clad.
But this woman, in terms of both figure and looks, was definitely top-tier.
"Hello, Mr. Su, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I'm your personal butler, Chen Mengyan. It's a pleasure to serve you!"
Chen Mengyan was quite surprised to see Su Chen dressed so simply. If she hadn't been prepared, she wouldn't have believed that this simply dressed man was the owner of a mansion worth over two hundred million.
Looking at Chen Mengyan, who was still slightly out of breath, a single word flashed through Su Chen's mind.
"Slender branches laden with abundant fruit, delicious and cooling!"
This phrase perfectly describes Chen Mengyan; her curves are all there!
"Hello!" Su Chen glanced at Chen Mengyan a few times as she bent down before greeting her formally.
"Mr. Su, please follow me. We'll go to the property management center to complete the necessary procedures."
The property management center wasn't far from the main gate, about two hundred meters.
The two chatted as they walked.
Su Chen learned from Chen Mengyan that his apartment was the penthouse of the entire Haijing No. 1 development, and that Chen Mengyan was specifically there to serve this apartment.
She was quite surprised and delighted by Su Chen's arrival; serving such a wealthy person was a form of potential capital.
The procedures were completed quickly. It was just a simple verification of Su Chen's owner status, a few signatures, and his facial recognition and fingerprints were recorded. Then Su Chen received his property certificate.
The property management center even offered two years of free property management fees.
Su Chen mentally calculated that two years of fees would amount to nearly three hundred thousand yuan.
"My goodness! The lives of rich people in China are beyond our comprehension! The property management fees alone are enough for an ordinary person to struggle for half a lifetime!"
After leaving the property management center, Chen Mengyan led Su Chen straight to his mansion.
Su Chen's duplex mansion was located on the thirty-ninth floor, one apartment per floor, and the elevator required a card to enter.
As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, an extra-large door came into view.
Su Chen's first impression was its imposing weight!
"Mr. Su, the fingerprint you registered at the property management center can open the door directly."
Su Chen was stunned for a moment, "Is it really that high-tech?"
Although he was still a little shocked, his hands were still very honest.
His thumb went straight up.
"Click!"
As the door unlocked, Chen Mengyan, who was standing next to him, opened the door with great insight.
The moment the door opened, Su Chen was blinded.
A luxurious and grand feeling rushed over. The first thing that came into view was a huge living room. In the center of the living room was a huge crystal chandelier, making the entire living room look clean and transparent.
What attracted Su Chen's attention most was the 270-degree panoramic floor-to-ceiling window, offering a view of the entire Huangpu River and the Bund.
With Chen Mengyan's explanation, Su Chen spent about twenty minutes touring both floors.
The total area was 720 square meters, spanning two floors, with five bedrooms, three living rooms, and six bathrooms. The decoration was extremely luxurious, featuring many brands Su Chen had never heard of.
After the tour, Su Chen gradually calmed down from his initial shock.
He was beginning to adapt to his new identity.
"Young Master Su, if you want to work out or swim, you can go to the community clubhouse, it's downstairs in this building, you can take the elevator directly there."
"Okay, I understand, you can go back and rest now. I'll call you if I need anything."
During the apartment viewing, Chen Mengyan had proactively added Su Chen's phone number and contact information, ostensibly to better serve him.
"Okay, Young Master Su! Call me anytime you need anything, I'm at your service 24 hours a day!"
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Chen Mengyan emphasized the word "anytime. "
Su Chen smiled slightly and nodded. They were all people of the martial world; they understood the meaning behind those words.
