CHAPTER 720: CHAPTER 720

Hearing the security guard insult him as a lousy delivery guy, the delivery man became a bit agitated: "What’s wrong with delivering food? Don’t look down on people. What if I call you a lousy gatekeeper? Would you like that? I’m telling you again, I’m an owner here!"

The security guard heard the words "lousy gatekeeper" and was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, jumping with rage. That term was very hurtful, and the security guard hated being called that more than anything.

"Get the hell out, do you hear me? If you’re the owner, I’ll eat shit standing on my head! If you don’t leave, don’t blame me for being rude!" The security guard pulled out a baton, threatening to hit him.

The delivery man was truly frightened and didn’t dare to go against the security guard. Someone else had previously clashed with security here in Lijing District, and was nearly beaten to death with a baton.

He didn’t want that to happen to him, so he moved aside, tears of grievance streaming down his face.

Lin Fan also remembered the last incident, where a dispute between the property manager and a delivery person led to a personal grudge, forbidding delivery people from entering the complex. That delivery guy almost died because he forced his way in and clashed with security. Fortunately, the system gave Lin Fan top-notch medical skills, saving his life.

The security guard was later taken away by the police, probably sitting in jail now. The property manager was fired, and even the big boss of the complex, Zhou Jinmai, personally came to apologize, solely because of Lin Fan.

"Dude, are you really an owner here?" Lin Fan asked.

The delivery man, full of grievances, grabbed Lin Fan and poured out his troubles: "It’s true, I’m not lying. I used to run a company, made some money in the first few years, paid a down payment, and bought a house here. I’ve been paying the mortgage ever since. Later, when the company didn’t do well, it went bankrupt. Life must go on, and the loan needs to be paid back fast. With no other way to earn a living, I had to run deliveries temporarily. Wanting to save face, I usually park and change clothes before going home. However, today something unexpected happened. I lost my wallet, including my security card and ID. My battery was running low, so I didn’t go back to the station and drove straight here, only to be stopped by the security guard and couldn’t even enter my own home."

Life isn’t easy. Lin Fan understood the hardships of the delivery guy. Back when he was laid off, he also had no job or income, almost couldn’t pay rent, and went to deliver food.

Lin Fan said, "Isn’t there anyone else at home? Why not have a family member come out to fetch you?"

The delivery man replied, "My wife and daughter recently went back to visit family. I’m the only one at home."

"If you really are an owner here, I can help you," Lin Fan said.

Surprised, the delivery man asked, "Brother, can you really help me? I’m not lying. I truly am an owner here. I have the key, and once I open the door, I can prove it."

While speaking, the delivery man took out a set of keys.

Lin Fan asked, "Besides opening the door, is there any other way you can prove you’re the owner here?"

The delivery man thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I know the property manager here. She can prove my identity, but she’s off work now."

Lin Fan suggested, "You can call her and ask her to verify your identity."

The delivery man chuckled bitterly, "I’ve called, but she wasn’t pleased. She lives in this complex but said it was too late and refused to come out, telling me to find a place to stay the night outside and wait until tomorrow."

Lin Fan was speechless; it seemed the guy was really unlucky. Due to various reasons, he couldn’t even enter his home.

"Alright, I’ll give her a call," Lin Fan said.

Lin Fan took out his phone and made a call: "President Zhou, this is Lin Fan."

This was a call to Zhou Jinmai, the big boss of the complex. Last time, Zhou Jinmai had proactively given Lin Fan his number, which Lin Fan saved, as it might come in handy since Liu Mengjie and Chen Lingling both lived in this complex.

"Mr. Lin?" Zhou Jinmai picked up the call, sounding a bit surprised. After the last incident, he was worried about displeasing Lin Fan. Mr. Lin calling late at night was quite a shock.

"Well, I’m in Lijing District, and something happened..." Lin Fan briefly explained the delivery man’s situation.

Zhou Jinmai was relieved; he had been scared just now, worried it might be something serious. He quickly replied with a laugh, "Oh, I see. Alright, I’ll verify and handle it right away. Please hold on, Mr. Lin."

After hanging up.

Lin Fan told the delivery man, "Wait a moment. It should be resolved soon."

Sure enough, not even ten minutes later, suddenly a figure appeared, quickly walking out. A woman in pajamas came running out, looking like she was fleeing a disaster.

The delivery man was stunned and delighted, "It’s the property manager!"

Lin Fan let out a small "oh." The previous property manager had been fired by Zhou Jinmai, so this must be a new one.

The security guard was surprised to see the property manager rush out: "Sister Chen, what’s going on?"

The property manager had no time to answer him, and hurriedly approached Lin Fan, immediately apologizing: "Sorry, Mr. Lin, I wasn’t feeling well today and was resting at home. I’m sorry for the oversight."

Lin Fan nodded, "No worries. Is it Manager Chen? This brother says he’s an owner here, but the security guard doesn’t believe him and won’t let him in. Can you verify his identity for him?"

The property manager nodded, "Yes, Little Liu here really is an owner. Hmm, Little Liu, why are you dressed like this today?"

The delivery man blushed and said, "This is my job. I deliver food now."

The property manager replied, "Alright, it’s fine now. I’ll explain to the security guard, and you can go home."

The delivery man was very happy, finally having someone to confirm his identity. After a day of exhaustion and misfortune, he could finally go home. He was moved to tears in an instant.

At the same time, he was curious about who Lin Fan was. How could a single phone call solve his problem, making Sister Chen, who didn’t want to come out, run out?

"Brother, who did you call just now?" The delivery man couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Lin Fan answered, "The president of this complex."

The delivery man was stunned; Lin Fan had actually called the complex president! So Lin Fan knew the president, no wonder the problem was resolved so quickly!

"Thank you, brother, thank you so much," the delivery man said gratefully. He was both thankful and admiring of Lin Fan. Lin Fan must be an incredible person, or else, how could a single call bring out the complex’s president?

Lin Fan smiled, "Alright, go on home now."

"Okay." The delivery man wiped away his tears, then went to push his bike and entered the complex, with the security guard no longer obstructing him.
