Chapter 179 The Food Delivery Guy
Hong Lao San remained standing at the doorway until Chen Yang and Liu Ran entered the lobby and disappeared into the elevator. Only then did he slowly let out a breath and lead his men further inside.
Hong Lao San's subordinates were astonished by this scene. One middle-aged woman in her forties whispered to Hong Lao San, "Third Master Hong, why do I feel you were a bit too respectful to those two just now? Are they some big shots?"
Upon hearing this, Hong Lao San immediately said sternly, "More than big shots. I'm telling you, saw that pair of man and woman just now? Remember this: no matter when you see them, be extremely respectful, more respectful than you are to me."
"In short, never offend them. If you get a chance, curry favor with them. If even the slightest mistake is made, I'll break your legs."
The woman was incredibly surprised to hear Third Master Hong say this. She never imagined there were such formidable individuals in Qingzhou City that even Hong Lao San would show such deference.
After all, even the rumored top administrator of Qingzhou City, Zhou Sinian, didn't command such respect from Hong Lao San.
Though many said Zhou Sinian was the king of Qingzhou City, more people knew Hong Lao San was the underground emperor of the city.
Hong Lao San might not necessarily fear Zhou Sinian.
But Hong Lao San's profound respect for this young couple was truly bizarre.
The woman quietly asked Hong Lao San, "Third Master Hong, what is their identity?"
Hong Lao San turned a cold eye on the woman and said, "Xiao Cui, I'm telling you, there are many things you shouldn't inquire about, don't even think about them. Once you get curious, once you send someone to investigate, your life will be over. Do you understand?"
The people around nodded obsequiously, trembling all over.
Third Master Hong waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's go up. Also, Old Zhou, you're the clever one. Go personally look after Manager Liu, and make absolutely sure Manager Liu does not have an unpleasant dining experience at our restaurant."
The restaurant's general manager, Old Zhou, nodded deferentially, "Thank you for your trust, Third Master Hong. I'll go check right now where they've gone, which private room. I will treat them with utmost respect."
Chen Yang and Liu Ran took the elevator directly to the top floor's Star Cloud Vastness private room.
This Star Cloud private room was the most luxurious place in the entire restaurant.
The entire top floor had only three private rooms. Besides the usual facilities for dining, singing, and resting, each room also had a hot spring for bathing and a small golf lawn. In addition to these entertainment facilities, one could look up and see the real starry sky, and from there, overlook more than half of Qingzhou City.
The rooms were expensive for good reason. These rooms could be booked to host live band performances at any time, and the musicians were from well-known choirs.
After Chen Yang and Liu Ran reached the top floor, they walked hand in hand towards Private Room Number One.
Inside Private Room Number One, more than ten people were already seated.
A young man peeked outside, then quickly ran back and reported to a man with a large gold chain sitting in the middle of the table, "Brother Hao, Brother Hao, they're here! Liu Ran is here, but it seems Liu Ran, our class beauty, also brought a man. Is that her husband?"
Wang Hao's brows furrowed upon hearing this. He grumbled with annoyance, "As expected. She really brought her husband. What's this guy's background? He looks plain and dresses ordinarily. He's just a common man, how could he be so lucky to marry Liu Ran?"
Several other men also leaned by the private room's entrance to look outside.
At this moment, one of the young men exclaimed, "Huh!" He said in surprise, "I think I know this man!"
Wang Hao suddenly looked up and asked the young man, "Shi Lei, what did you say? You know this man? What's his background? Which rich family's son is he?"
Shi Lei shook his head, then chuckled, "Brother Hao, this is an opportunity! An opportunity has come! I really do know this guy. It was earlier this year, when I set up a game studio at home. I used to play games twenty hours a day, grinding in-game to make money. Back then, I ordered takeout every day. I remember, this is the Meituan delivery guy who used to deliver my food."
"And he was very diligent, working more than ten hours a day. Sometimes, I ordered all four meals of the day from him. I even joked with him then, saying that since he worked so hard, why didn't he join me in grinding games for money? He refused back then, saying he didn't know how to play games, only how to deliver food."
"It's him, one hundred percent. A Meituan delivery rider! I even remember his name. Wait a minute, let me find it."
Shi Lei picked up his phone and quickly scrolled. He soon found the rider's name and said with a smile, "Look, it's Chen Yang. Here's his number. I'll know if I call him."
Saying this, Shi Lei directly dialed Chen Yang's number.
Chen Yang was walking towards the private room with Liu Ran when his phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the number, which was protected, likely a customer's order number.
Chen Yang frowned in annoyance. Although he hadn't quit yet, he now only delivered three orders a day. After completing the minimum requirement, he stopped delivering food.
He hadn't expected a call to come to him like this.
Chen Yang thought for a moment, then impatiently hung up.
Inside the private room, upon seeing Chen Yang hang up, everyone burst into collective laughter. Wang Hao abruptly stood up, full of triumph, "Damn it, so it really is that delivery guy. This kid has too much luck, to actually get our class beauty."
The other young men were indignant, "This is a classic case of a swan being mated with a frog. A delivery guy dares to pursue our class beauty, and even succeed. It's detestable."
"Now that I think about it, since the class beauty could accept a delivery guy, if I had dared to pursue Liu Ran back then, wouldn't I be in the same position now?"
Everyone laughed. Wang Hao suddenly glared at the last young man and said sternly, "All of you shut the hell up! Remember this, from now on, Liu Ran is mine, mine alone. None of you dare to compete with me. Also, since Liu Ran brought her useless husband along, we'll execute Plan B today and let her husband know what it means to be a lower-class person."
The young men around gathered around Wang Hao, flattering him.
The young women also quickly nodded in agreement with Wang Hao, clearly showing he had become the absolute leader among them.
Wang Hao nodded, snapped his fingers, and said, "Alright, everyone get ready. Remember, today's objective is twofold: first, crush her husband into the dirt; second, I want to taste our class beauty. I've thought about it for so many years, and tonight, my dream is finally coming true. My heart is inexplicably a little excited and nervous, hahahaha..."
Shi Lei next to him immediately said with a smile, "Brother Hao, you're already so rich, you must have a new young model by your side every day. Yet you're still so devoted to Liu Ran. You're truly a man of deep affection!"
Wang Hao nodded and sighed, "Yes, the more unattainable something is, the better it becomes. And today, I will finally have my dream goddess!"
