Chapter 548 The Steel Straight Man
Lu Hua burst into laughter beside them.
He found it quite amusing, but neither Zhou Shanshan nor Chen Yang laughed. Instead, they both looked at Lu Hua as if he were an idiot.
Lu Hua frowned and said, "What's wrong? Shanshan, I really think it's funny. Who is this man to you? A relative from your hometown? Don't worry, since he's come to the city to find you, we definitely won't mistreat him. Whatever he wants, money or a job, I can arrange it for him."
Zhou Shanshan shook her head and politely said to Lu Hua, "Young Master Lu, Chen Yang and I are friends. You don't need to worry about our matters. It's getting late, thank you for sending me back. Please go now."
Finally, Zhou Shanshan turned to Chen Yang and asked, "Chen Yang, aren't you really going to my place?"
Chen Yang waved his hand, "No, no, I said I'm not going, so I'm not going. I have my own things to take care of. If things go smoothly on my end, I'll call you later."
Zhou Shanshan nodded and smiled, "Alright, it's a deal then. You must call me!"
"Oh, right, I'll go to the supermarket later and buy some good food to store in the fridge. I'll cook you a feast when you come over."
Chen Yang scoffed, "Come on, I can tell from your appearance that you study the human body, but you know nothing about cooking. What if your feast poisons me to death? You should go back now and don't disturb us. We're waiting for the rabbit, don't disrupt my work."
Zhou Shanshan nodded and said, "Okay, you work first. Anyway, after you're done, be sure to call me."
After speaking, Zhou Shanshan giggled excitedly, turned around, and walked towards the villa humming a tune.
Chen Yang also returned to the courier van, patted it, and said to Li Yong, "Alright, let's get to work."
It seemed that everyone had completely ignored Lu Hua, who was standing by in his expensive suit.
The key was that this disregard wasn't deliberate; it was a natural oversight!
It was as if Chen Yang and Zhou Shanshan had never considered Lu Hua a factor from beginning to end.
A surge of anger rose within Lu Hua. He had never experienced such contempt before. Even his enemies wouldn't dismiss him so completely!
They could oppose him, but this blatant disregard was something Lu Hua had never encountered!
As the young chairman of the largest family enterprise in Hanwu City, Dahua Tianxia Group, he had always been the one to call the shots in Hanwu City. Yet today, he was ignored by two people simultaneously, one of whom was a delivery man.
Lu Hua gritted his teeth, glanced at the courier uniform on Chen Yang's body, it was from Yangyangyang Express.
Seeing the name, Lu Hua sneered and turned to leave.
Li Yong watched Lu Hua storm away, then looked at Chen Yang. At this moment, his eyes were filled with adoration. If he had admired Chen Yang before due to his status, then now Li Yong's admiration for Chen Yang was all-encompassing!
Li Yong excitedly said to Chen Yang, "General Manager Chen, you were truly magnificent just now! And the confidence you exuded from head to toe, along with your steel-straight man qualities, made me immensely respectful."
"Is it because of these qualities that the beautiful woman just now likes you?"
Chen Yang looked at Li Yong speechlessly and said, "Stop thinking like a fool and get back to work."
Li Yong nodded excitedly, swallowed, and said, "Alas, when will a woman appear who is beautiful, rich, and deeply devoted to me!"
"Oh, right, General Manager Chen, that guy in the suit earlier seemed to be the young chairman of Dahua Group. I feel like you and Miss Zhou offended him together just now, and you might not have an easy time ahead."
Chen Yang waved his hand, "He's just a minor figure, nothing to worry about. The priority is to resolve the delivery issue."
Li Yong felt speechless. In Chen Yang's eyes, the prestigious Dahua Tianxia Group was just a trivial matter!
And the dozens or hundreds of yuan worth of packages here were of absolute importance, far more so than beautiful women or the young chairman of Dahua Tianxia Group!
Could this be General Manager Chen's true secret to success? Eyes only on his career, ignoring all the worldly distractions around him.
Beautiful women, status, temptations, and money – all fleeting illusions!
The two of them spread out the packages.
Li Yong was making a show of making a phone call and started delivering packages. While they were busy, suddenly two figures, one on each side, rushed towards the package pile from two directions simultaneously.
Upon seeing this, Li Yong put down his phone and shouted loudly, "Scoundrels! You've come again! Stop right there, don't run."
As Li Yong spoke, he chased after one of the figures.
Chen Yang stood aside, observing the two package thieves. Just as Wu Feng had said, the two people stealing the packages were indeed just children.
They were short, both around 1.6 meters tall, with youthful faces still showing immaturity. Based on Chen Yang's judgment, they should be around fifteen to eighteen years old.
However, that wasn't the crucial point. What surprised Chen Yang was how fast these two were, and their running posture was very peculiar, like two-legged beasts running in the jungle.
Li Yong chased after one of the boys. At this moment, the other man suddenly accelerated, like a leopard, and leaped into the pile of packages.
He rummaged through and found a relatively large and expensive package. Clutching it in his arms, he turned and ran.
Seeing his companion succeed, the other man also turned and ran quickly, easily leaving Li Yong behind.
For Li Yong, he simply couldn't catch up to these two young lads.
Li Yong sighed and turned to Chen Yang, "General Manager Chen, you saw, right? It's them. They're getting smarter now, learning to work together to steal things. It's a headache!"
Chen Yang nodded, "I saw. It seems there's indeed more to this than meets the eye!"
Li Yong blinked and asked, "Ah? More to it? What's more? General Manager Chen, are you saying these two boys have someone behind them?"
"Huh? General Manager Chen... General Manager Chen, where are you?"
Li Yong quickly rubbed his eyes. Just a moment ago, when he was speaking, he clearly saw Chen Yang standing in front of him, talking to him.
But the instant he turned away, just glancing at the packages, when he turned back, Chen Yang's figure had completely vanished.
Li Yong had no idea when Chen Yang had left. The speed was terrifying, like a magic trick.
Li Yong stood in place, he reached out and pinched his ear hard. The pain confirmed he wasn't dreaming.
But how was this possible?
The surroundings were empty. In the space of a second, how could General Manager Chen have suddenly disappeared for no reason?
Li Yong stood stunned for a few seconds, then sat down on the ground with a sigh. He suddenly realized he would never be able to become as successful as Chen Yang.
Although they were around the same age, Li Yong found that he always saw unbelievable things in General Manager Chen.
