Chapter 85 Unworthy
Chen Yang rode his electric scooter, watching the departing black Mercedes with a wry smile.
However, he didn't dwell on it. His priority was to settle Su Ya as quickly as possible.
Chen Yang sped towards Tiande Hotel on his electric scooter.
In the Mercedes ahead, Liu Xuhui drove, feeling triumphant.
He was ecstatic. Not only had he picked up Su Ya, but he had also helped the goddess resolve a problem just moments ago. He could tell Su Ya was quite fond of him now and very grateful.
As he drove, Liu Xuhui smiled at Su Ya in the back seat. "Su Ya, there's no need to be so formal. We were schoolmates after all, both studied at Qingzhou University. Qingzhou City is your hometown now, and I'm your local connection. If you ever face any difficulties, just tell me. That little scene just now, if any thugs appear again, just let me know. One call from me, and I'll sort it out for you easily."
Su Ya, seated in the back, said gratefully to Liu Xuhui, "Thank you, Liu Xuhui. It's been years, and you've really made it big in Qingzhou City. Those people just now seemed quite formidable, and I didn't expect you to scare them away with just one call."
Liu Xuhui burst into laughter. "Just a bunch of petty thugs, what's so formidable about them? Besides, our Liu family has some standing in Qingzhou City. I'm not like Chen Yang, that low-life. Chen Yang, apart from his bragging, delivering takeout, and serving tea and water, is utterly useless. I don't know what Liu Ran was thinking, promoting him to security captain responsible for the safety of the entire Tianliu Mall. How could someone like him possibly do a good job? Because of this, our old family estate and Liu Ran have had some disagreements, but those are minor issues. From now on, you're an employee of Tianliu Mall, meaning you're our Liu family's guest. When you have time, I'll take you to sample all of Qingzhou City's delicacies and visit its sights."
Su Ya smiled gently and thanked him.
Then she looked out the window, her face displaying an expression of disbelief.
Outside the car, a Meituan electric scooter whizzed past the Mercedes, heading forward.
The person on the scooter was Chen Yang.
Su Ya glanced subconsciously and remarked, "Chen Yang's electric scooter is so fast. We're doing at least 80 kilometers per hour now, aren't we?"
Liu Xuhui, unaware of what was happening, checked the dashboard. "We're doing 87 kilometers per hour. What did you say? Chen Yang's electric scooter is fast? No matter how fast his scooter is, it's still just a small electric scooter. That guy is still picking you up on an electric scooter, it's laughable. It's an embarrassment to our Liu family."
Liu Xuhui was about to say more when he suddenly gasped. He saw Chen Yang on his Meituan electric scooter speed past their Mercedes in front and leave quickly.
Liu Xuhui blinked, exclaiming, "What the hell? What's going on? Is my car broken?"
He looked down at his Mercedes again; it wasn't broken. The speedometer was indeed approaching 90 kilometers per hour, yet Chen Yang's small electric scooter had easily overtaken their car.
Liu Xuhui's expression changed. He had initially wanted to speed up, but the current speed was already quite high, and it wasn't a highway. Driving any faster would be dangerous.
He grumbled unhappily, "This good-for-nothing delivered takeout for a year and didn't make any money. His riding skills, however, are quite impressive. I wonder what he's installed on that electric scooter of his."
Su Ya stared at Chen Yang's receding back, her brow furrowed. She asked, puzzled, "Junior sister Liu Ran is such an excellent girl. Why would she choose to marry Chen Yang? Does Chen Yang have some hidden strengths?"
Hearing this, Liu Xuhui chuckled. "Strengths? Hahaha, Miss Su, you're truly jesting. Even a pig has strengths, but Chen Yang absolutely does not."
"My grandfather forced him to marry my sister. He lived as a live-in son-in-law in my house for a year, truly useless. He couldn't speak properly, wouldn't try to please people, couldn't find a job, and only delivered takeout every day, earning very little. At home, he was bossed around by my mother and sister, serving them tea and water, and didn't dare to even fart.
"What kind of strengths could such a spineless man possibly have? He was just lucky!
"When my sister divorced him, it was precisely when Liu Ran was at her lowest. Liu Ran was heavily in debt, and at that time, her face was disfigured. No man wanted her, and Chen Yang just happened to swoop in. Now that cousin Liu Ran's appearance has been restored, I estimate their marriage won't last much longer."
"After all, look at him. He's so happy and unashamedly living off his wife's earnings. As soon as Liu Ran became the director of Tianliu Mall, she used her connections to get him promoted to security captain. A person like that, hehe, what future can he have?"
Su Ya nodded in agreement. In her opinion, a man who could shamelessly live off his wife's earnings truly lacked ambition.
It seemed the important figure she was looking for would not be Liu Ran or Chen Yang. She would have to investigate further.
At this moment, Chen Yang arrived at Tiande Hotel on his electric scooter first.
As he entered Tiande Hotel, Zhou Dao and his group of over twenty people were also walking towards the hotel.
Chen Yang glanced at Zhou Dao, frowned, and then quickened his pace, calling out, "Stop!"
Zhou Dao and his men turned around and were surprised to see Chen Yang. Then, a flicker of resentment and anger flashed in Zhou Dao's eyes.
He had no idea of Chen Yang's status, but having been slapped by Chen Yang earlier, he dared not seek revenge, which sowed the seeds of hatred in his heart.
However, he was always cautious and knew Chen Yang might be an important figure, so he didn't act rashly.
Zhou Dao cupped his fists towards Chen Yang, forcing a smile, and asked, "Sir, what is it?"
Chen Yang simply waved his hand indifferently and said, "From now on, you are forbidden from entering Tiande Hotel, and you are also forbidden from entering Tianliu Mall. If you dare to trouble Miss Su again, I will break your legs."
After speaking, Chen Yang turned and walked away.
Zhou Dao stood frozen, then jumped up in anger, pointing at Chen Yang's retreating back and cursing through gritted teeth, "Who the hell do you think you are? I don't know your background, but no one in Qingzhou City can stop me from entering and leaving Tiande Hotel! Do you really think Tiande Hotel is your family's?"
Just then, a group of Tiande Hotel security guards approached.
The lobby manager leading them looked at Zhou Dao with a hint of disgust and disdain in his eyes. He shooed Zhou Dao away like he was swatting a fly, saying, "Get out. Tiande Hotel does not welcome you from now on."
Zhou Dao and his men were all stunned.
Could it be that Chen Yang's words were an imperial decree?
