Chapter 85: Are You a Deliveryman?

Seeing so many teachers waiting for her, Yi Xiaoyan felt a little embarrassed. “Teachers, why don’t you go ahead first? I’m waiting for a friend, and I’ll go over with him when he arrives.”

But the teachers knew that Yi Xiaoyan was the heroine of the day, and Lu Huaxing, the school administrator, did not want to leave, so they felt awkward about going either.

“We’ll wait. No hurry,” some of the male teachers muttered privately, curious whether the friend Yi Xiaoyan was waiting for was a man or a woman.

If it was a man, Lu Huaxing would probably be spitting blood before long.

Today, Lu Huaxing was dressed with utmost solemnity: suit, tie, and leather shoes—brand-new height-increasing ones he had just bought at the mall—all to narrow the gap between his own height and Yi Xiaoyan’s.

When Yi Xiaoyan saw that He Haoxuan still had not arrived, she had no choice but to take out her phone and call him.

At that moment, a very flashy electric bike rode up and came to a steady stop beside Yi Xiaoyan.

Seeing He Haoxuan on the bike, Lu Huaxing shouted angrily, “Hey, you delivery guy! If you’ve got deliveries to make, go inside the school. Why are you stopping here and blocking us?”

Before He Haoxuan could answer, Yi Xiaoyan called out happily to him, “Haoxuan, why are you only here now?”

“Ah, there was traffic on the road, so I came a bit late. Sorry,” He Haoxuan said apologetically.

Lu Huaxing was so enraged by this that he nearly vomited blood.

Traffic? On that electric bike of yours? You’re really making up stories with a straight face.

“It’s fine, it’s fine. I’ve got plenty of time anyway. It doesn’t matter if you’re a little late.” Yi Xiaoyan looked at He Haoxuan with tender affection.

When one likes someone, one likes everything about them.

So what if He Haoxuan was wearing beach shorts and sandals? As long as he looked handsome in her eyes, that was enough.

If only all the women in the world thought He Haoxuan was ugly, then she could have him all to herself.

Lu Huaxing stared at He Haoxuan in astonishment and asked, “Xiaoyan, this is the friend you were waiting for?”

“Yes, it’s him.” Yi Xiaoyan smiled sweetly. “Director Lu, we can head to Tongli Hotel now.”

“Good, Xiaoyan, ride in my car.” Lu Huaxing straightened his chest at once.

He had thought his rival was some formidable figure, but it turned out to be just a deliveryman. There was nothing to worry about now.

Wasn’t this man only a little more handsome than him? So what?

In today’s society, as long as you have money, what problem can’t be solved?

Yi Xiaoyan was still young and did not understand how important money was.

Once they got to the hotel tonight, he would show Yi Xiaoyan what a rich man really was.

And now that this man had come riding an electric bike, it made him look down on him even more. So if he asked Yi Xiaoyan to ride in his car, she would surely get in happily.

The more Lu Huaxing thought about it, the more pleased he became. This deliveryman was no match for him, and Yi Xiaoyan would never like him.

But when Yi Xiaoyan heard Lu Huaxing’s suggestion, she shook her head and said, “Thank you, Director Lu. I’ll just ride to Tongli Hotel with my friend.”

With that, Yi Xiaoyan got onto He Haoxuan’s electric bike.

The male teachers’ eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. Good heavens, such a fine cabbage had been trampled by a pig.

And it was an electric bike too, such a tiny one at that. With Yi Xiaoyan sitting on it, pressed close to He Haoxuan, they wished they could shove He Haoxuan off and take over as the driver themselves.

He Haoxuan must be feeling incredibly pleased right now.

Lu Huaxing was so furious he could spit blood. Yi Xiaoyan was his—how could he let someone else steal her away?

“Xiaoyan, get down quickly and take my car!” he shouted, stomping his feet in rage.

“No need, Director Lu,” Yi Xiaoyan said lightly, patting He Haoxuan. “Let’s go.”

He Haoxuan asked Yi Xiaoyan, “Where is Tongli Hotel?”

“You don’t know where Tongli Hotel is?” Yi Xiaoyan was a little surprised.

Though not as luxurious as Star Hotel, Tongli Hotel was still a well-known three-star hotel in the area.

But how could Yi Xiaoyan know that He Haoxuan usually paid no attention to such places? Even a five-star hotel meant nothing to him, let alone a mere three-star one.

“Hahaha!” Lu Huaxing shouted with delight.

So this deliveryman was a country bumpkin after all. He didn’t even know the famous Tongli Hotel, which meant he only ever ate at ordinary roadside eateries.

In other words, this deliveryman was just a small-time nobody, not in the same league as him at all.

“Director Lu, what are you laughing at?” Yi Xiaoyan’s expression darkened when she saw him laughing at He Haoxuan.

Lu Huaxing immediately stopped laughing, walked up to He Haoxuan, and asked, “Are you a deliveryman? What do you do?”

“My name is He Haoxuan,” He Haoxuan replied.

Lu Huaxing smiled. “He Haoxuan, my name is Lu Huaxing. I’m a leader at this school, very impressive indeed. If you’re poor and have never been to Tongli Hotel to eat, then tonight I’ll take you there to broaden your horizons. I guarantee it’ll open your eyes. Also, today is Xiaoyan’s birthday. Have you prepared a birthday gift for her?”

“I didn’t prepare anything,” He Haoxuan said, shaking his head.

He had not known today was Yi Xiaoyan’s birthday; he had come empty-handed.

“Hahaha!” Lu Huaxing burst out laughing again.

The poor are poor. It was Yi Xiaoyan’s birthday, and he had not even prepared a gift.

It seemed this deliveryman named He Haoxuan was not just poor, but exceptionally so. Even someone poor would at least buy a greeting card or something.

“Haoxuan, I’ll guide you. Hurry up and go,” Yi Xiaoyan said, a little angry at Lu Huaxing’s mockery.

He Haoxuan nodded and drove the electric bike forward.

“Damn it, he just took Xiaoyan off like that?” Lu Huaxing cursed, then angrily ran to his car.

The dozen or so teachers had arrived in four cars. After everyone got in, they also headed toward Tongli Hotel.

Lu Huaxing stepped hard on the accelerator, wanting to overtake He Haoxuan as quickly as possible and show him how superior a car was.

He also planned to deliberately shift into neutral and rev the engine in front of He Haoxuan, so that they would inhale some exhaust fumes.

But to his surprise, when Lu Huaxing drove forward, he ran into traffic and could not get through.

An electric bike was different, though. It weaved left and right, quickly slipped past the jam, and vanished down the street ahead.

“Damn it, this is driving me crazy!” Lu Huaxing slammed the steering wheel in fury.

The male teacher in the front passenger seat said angrily, “Director Lu, what is Yi Xiaoyan thinking? Why is she riding with that poor nobody?”

“Yes, that was truly inappropriate. Director Lu is already a leader at such a young age—his future is limitless,” another teacher in the back flattered him.

After all, Yi Xiaoyan wasn’t here. What was wrong with saying a few nice things about Lu Huaxing?

“Hmph. When the time comes, I’ll let that poor nobody know what it means to be rich,” Lu Huaxing shouted angrily.
