Capítulo 707: Chapter 681: Shield

After a while, a man dressed in a Hermes suit and a woman walked out.

Seeing the man, Ye Chen was stunned for a moment; this man looked a bit familiar.

The man also froze for a second upon seeing Ye Chen, then excitedly said, “You must be Ye Chen.”

Ye Chen also recognized him— the two were middle school classmates, and his name was Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang sighed upon seeing Ye Chen in a delivery outfit delivering packages: “Ye Chen, how did you end up like this?”

The woman beside him teased, “Zhang Yang, is this the Ye Chen from your middle school class? Looks decent, but isn’t doing too well.”

Ye Chen smiled: “I think delivering packages is pretty good, it’s free and I get to meet all sorts of people.”

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, the corner of Zhang Yang’s mouth curled into a sneer.

Free? If you had skills, how could you end up delivering packages?

Zhang Yang patted Ye Chen on the shoulder: “Brother, I get you. Look at me, I bought a house in this school district for my kid, the rent alone is forty thousand a month.”

Ye Chen glanced around and suddenly remembered he was the landlord for these school district apartments.

It seemed like it was time to collect rent.

Ye Chen nodded: “Yes, indeed, it’s quite pressuring.”

Zhang Yang laughed: “Ye Chen, since we’re classmates, our company is currently hiring. A security guard’s salary should be about the same as delivery, maybe even tougher. How about I refer you to our company?”

Ye Chen shook his head: “No need, actually I find delivering packages pretty enjoyable.”

Zhang Yang’s girlfriend wasn’t happy about it: “Why waste time with someone delivering packages, we’re in a hurry.”

Clearly afraid of his wife, Zhang Yang gave an awkward smile and was about to leave.

At this moment, a man in a suit drove by in a Passat.

He saw Ye Chen and froze for a moment, quickly stepped out of the car, and rushed over.

“Mr. Ye, why are you dressed like this?”

Ye Chen was stunned; it turned out to be Manager Chen from the sales office.

Ye Chen had authorized them to lease out the school district houses.

Ye Chen smiled: “Oh, I’m just delivering packages.”

Manager Chen also froze: “Oh my, just the rental income amounts to hundreds of millions a year, and yet, you’re still delivering packages.”

Have the bigwigs these days become so playful?

Zhang Yang also knew Manager Chen.

Back then, when they were renting a place, they sought Manager Chen for a favor through someone.

Zhang Yang quickly grinned, “Manager Chen, hello, do you know Ye Chen?”

Manager Chen smiled: “Of course, Mr. Ye is the owner of the two hundred school district apartments here. I’m working for Mr. Ye, all the rent I collect goes to him.”

Hiss!

Hearing Manager Chen’s words, Zhang Yang took a sharp breath.

Even Zhang Yang’s girlfriend’s face changed.

Ye Chen turned out to be the owner of two hundred school district apartments. Just collecting rent every month, how much would that be?

Thinking about how he and his girlfriend had just mocked Ye Chen, both of their faces burned with embarrassment.

He was the landlord, and they were just tenants, yet they had the audacity to laugh at him for being poor.

Zhang Yang’s girlfriend’s face turned instantly.

“So you’re Mr. Ye, our Zhang Yang always said you carried yourself well, and today, indeed, it’s not just talk.”

Ye Chen was speechless.

You’re changing faces faster than flipping through a book.

“How about this, Ye Chen, since we haven’t seen each other for so long, let Zhang Yang host and properly treat you.”

Zhang Yang: “Aren’t we supposed to meet your parents?”

“What’s the rush in meeting my parents? It’s rare that we old classmates gather, we should at least hang out!”

Ye Chen chuckled: “Sorry, I won’t intrude on you guys, I still have to deliver packages.”

With that, Ye Chen got into the Cullinan parked nearby and left.

Friends like this aren’t really worth keeping.

When they see you down, they step on you; when they see you succeeding, they fawn over you, such old classmates are better left alone.

Watching Ye Chen driving away in the Cullinan, Zhang Yang’s girlfriend stomped her foot.

“Look at your classmate, then look at you, pathetic. I have to rent a place even after marrying you.”

“What’s wrong with me? Earning fifty thousand a month isn’t small.”

“Isn’t it? You earn fifty thousand, and forty thousand goes to your classmate. What’s left? If we don’t buy a house, then we’re not getting married.” The woman said furiously.

“You… Fine, no marriage, then let’s break up.”

Manager Chen looked awkwardly at the couple arguing.

Did I just say something wrong?

…

Ye Chen delivered packages for the whole day without triggering system task rewards.

It seemed today wasn’t really his lucky day.

At this moment, Xiaoya’s call came through.

“Brother Ye Chen, when are you going to arrive?”

Ye Chen then remembered he had promised Xiaoya to attend a party in the evening.

“Oh, delivering packages is tough, not only do I have to fix pipes and bulbs, but also need to oversee high school students’ studies.”

Ye Chen drove the Lykan car and arrived at the Starlight KTV for the party.

Xiaoya was already waiting at the door. Seeing Ye Chen, she excitedly ran over and grabbed Ye Chen’s arm.

Ye Chen smiled awkwardly: “Xiaoya, you don’t have to hold on so tight, I’m not going to run away.”

Xiaoya: “Haha, gotta hold on tight, that’s how a couple looks like.”

In the private room, several classmates were chatting.

“Never heard Xiaoya had a boyfriend.”

“Hmph, doesn’t matter who her boyfriend is, he’s quite the big shot to keep us all waiting.”

“Don’t worry Young Master Sun, we’ll help you get Xiaoya.”

Ye Chen entered the room and glanced around, they were all young punks, but judging by their clothes, all were rich second-generation kids.

Seems Xiaoya’s family background is good too, hence her friends are all wealthy.

Xiaoya today was dressed in a pleated dress, wearing crystal high heels, with light makeup on, looking very pretty.

Xiaoya, at her age, was just blooming, exuding the charm of youth.

In the KTV, the classmates laughed and chatted, but Xiaoya didn’t pay anyone attention and stayed by Ye Chen’s side.

Sun Ze’s face turned sour watching this.

This gathering was arranged specifically for Xiaoya.

Yet Xiaoya was here flirting with another guy.

Then, the dance music started playing.

Xiaoya pulled Ye Chen into the dance floor.

The dance floor was crowded, Xiaoya held Ye Chen’s hand, initially dancing with decent moves.

But soon Ye Chen sensed something was off, she unknowingly leaned her body against his.

The two were very close, Ye Chen could feel Xiaoya’s breath, and she kept making little gestures as they danced.

Ye Chen felt helpless.

“Xiaoya, this is in public, can you tone it down a bit?”

“You’ve been so busy yet still help me play cover, shouldn’t I thank you well?” Xiaoya said with a smile, her eyes glinting mischievously.

Ye Chen felt himself getting flustered due to Xiaoya’s flirtations.

“Hey, isn’t this my way of serving the customer?”

Ye Chen wanted to dodge, but the dance floor was packed, leaving him no room to escape.

Before long, Ye Chen felt as if he was about to lose control due to her teasing.
