"See that man over there?"
"Which one?"
"The one with 'Meituan' written so big, are you blind?"
"Oh, him. Saw him. What about it?"
"How does he look?"
"Good build, long legs. As for his looks, he's alright. But he's definitely no match for me."
Pei Kexin stood by the entrance of the opulent club, arms crossed, and nudged Gu Wei with the hand not holding her purse.
"You have five minutes to bring him to my private room. Then you're done."
Gu Wei's eyes widened in disbelief.
"No way, even if you're stimulated and want to vent, you don't have to be so casual, do you? You haven't even seen what the guy looks like and you're already... Besides, he's a decent young man. It's hard enough working late delivering food, and he hasn't offended anyone. You..."
Pei Kexin shot him a glare, interrupting him with an air of not to be trifled with.
"Fine, if I don't target him, I'll target you. Tomorrow, you'll come with me to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and by tonight, you'll be the live-in son-in-law of the Pei family. Old Master Pei will be tending to your every need..."
Gu Wei immediately raised his hands in surrender. "Sister, sister, sister! Stop talking! I really don't have the life to serve others. I'm convinced, alright?"
"I'm not destined to be your Pei family's consort. Fine, you go up first, and I'll go find that kid for you."
"Speaking of which, this kid is lucky. Just delivering food for no reason, and he gets your attention to be a consort. He's really struck gold."
That flattery, Gu Wei knew how to talk.
Pei Kexin lifted her chin proudly and snorted, then gracefully entered the club.
At the entrance of the lobby, about twenty meters to the right, Zhan Jingchen was looking down at his phone, chatting with someone. His shoulder was patted.
He quickly locked his phone with one hand and looked back.
Behind him stood a man of similar age and height, impeccably dressed in a suit, exuding a businesslike aura.
He had just had a big fight, and his clothes were torn. Little Lu had somehow gotten him a delivery jacket to wrap himself in.
He was waiting for his colleagues to arrive, as today's matter was far from over and would require a good deal of fuss. Someone was approaching him, and it was a man?
His mood was extremely foul. He frowned and glanced at Gu Wei, his tone unfriendly. "What is it?"
Gu Wei didn't say anything about the matter. He stared at Zhan Jingchen's chest for two seconds, then reached out to grab his jacket.
Zhan Jingchen, thinking he was in danger, instinctively used a grappling technique.
Gu Wei, a weakling, was pinned to the ground in an instant.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't attack me. Why are you so rough?"
"I just wanted to see your employee number and order some food. Ow, it hurts, let me go!"
With his face pressed to the ground, Gu Wei grimaced in pain. Zhan Jingchen didn't believe his nonsense.
"Order food from me? Do I look like a delivery guy?"
"You're wearing a Meituan uniform, what else would you be doing if not delivering food?"
"I say, are all delivery guys this aggressive now? Aren't you afraid of bad reviews and complaints? You actually laid hands on a customer..."
He had indeed worn the wrong clothes, it was a misunderstanding.
Zhan Jingchen, annoyed, released him and took a step back.
"I have something to do, I'm not taking orders. Go find someone else."
"..."
Gu Wei got up and stood straight, rubbing his arm and looking the young man up and down.
He was a few centimeters taller than him, definitely over 1.9 meters.
He looked thin, but was strong and powerful.
As for his features...
No wonder the discerning Pei Kexin had noticed him from such a distance.
Young, handsome, and clean-cut, he had the perfect idol look of the current era. Truly a top-tier man.
For the sake of his good looks, Gu Wei let the earlier rudeness slide.
After stretching his arm, he continued to negotiate with a pleasant expression.
"What I need you to deliver isn't far, it's right behind you."
"One trip, two minutes, five hundred yuan. That's more than your daily wage, right? Will you do it?"
He hadn't expected this delivery guy to be so uncooperative. Upon hearing this, Zhan Jingchen didn't even lift his eyelids.
"Take your five hundred yuan and get lost."
"..."
Are all good-looking people this arrogant?
He won't even earn five hundred yuan? I don't believe it!
Gu Wei immediately took out his wallet and pulled out a wad of cash.
"Take it all, two thousand, that should be enough, right?"
Zhan Jingchen was still replying to his colleagues via phone, not lifting his eyes.
"Then I'll add more, twenty-five hundred!"
"Can you shut up?"
"Three thousand!"
"..."
Time was running out. Gu Wei hadn't expected a mere delivery guy to be so stubborn!
Forced into a corner, he had to use his ultimate move.
He took out the entire stack of cash he had just withdrawn from his wallet.
"Ten thousand, just to deliver a business card, please, big brother!"
Zhan Jingchen's bad mood was instantly cured by this sudden, ridiculous person.
Looking at the wad of money he was being handed, he was so amused he almost laughed.
"What business card? Is it that important to you?"
Gu Wei nodded vigorously, "Extremely important!"
"Will you die if you don't deliver it today?"
"I will if it's not delivered within three minutes."
"Then why are you only giving me ten thousand?"
"...How much do you want then? It's so close, it's already a sky-high price!"
Zhan Jingchen opened his phone and handed over his WeChat payment QR code.
"I'll take the cash, and then transfer another twenty thousand. Your life is worth at least thirty thousand yuan, right?"
"..."
Gu Wei looked up at the sky, wanting to ask what sin he had committed to be framed by Pei Kexin like this!
Forget it.
Spending thirty thousand yuan for personal freedom, and perhaps he could get reimbursement from Boss Pei later. He gritted his teeth and endured it.
With a pang of heartache, he scanned the QR code and transferred the money. Zhan Jingchen took the business card and glanced at it instinctively.
Pei Kexin? Executive Chairman of Yuanyang Foreign Trade?
It seemed to be a woman, but he didn't recognize her.
Gu Wei, having paid the money, was now the boss, and his tone finally had some assertiveness.
"What are you looking at? Have you heard of her? Not only does she have a company, but she's also as beautiful as a flower! The person you're delivering this to is her. Time is urgent, hurry up!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Zhan Jingchen's eyes.
Delivering a business card to this woman was worth thirty thousand yuan?
It probably wasn't that simple.
"Are you sure, it's just to deliver a business card?"
Now it was Gu Wei's turn to give a cold look. "You took my money, so just deliver it when I tell you to. Why so much nonsense!"
Pei Kexin.
Zhan Jingchen glanced at the business card again, snapped his fingers, and finally turned to leave.
In the private room, Pei Kexin looked at her phone. There were still a few seconds until five minutes.
When five minutes were up, regardless of whether Gu Wei was willing or not, she would tie him up and drag him to be her "husband" tomorrow.
After working tirelessly for the Pei family for so many years, she wouldn't be kicked aside easily without any benefit. No way!
As she was thinking, there were two knocks on the private room door.
Pei Kexin put down her phone and resumed her casual posture. "Come in."
The next second, the door opened, and a tall, slender man walked in.
His jacket was yellow, with the familiar "Meituan Waimai" written on the chest.
Pei Kexin's heart skipped a beat, and her forehead throbbed twice.
Gu Wei, that unpromising fellow, didn't want to cooperate with her that badly? He actually brought the delivery guy up here??
