Ye Chen, the owner of Financial Mansion, is working as a food delivery person. The security captain and the deputy general manager, Liu Qiang, show him immense respect and assistance, despite the company's policy against delivery personnel using the elevator. A new security guard, unaware of Ye Chen's true identity, attempts to stop him but is quickly reprimanded and fired by Liu Qiang.

The new security guard felt deeply wronged. He clearly thought he was doing this for the company’s sake, yet ended up with this kind of outcome.

No matter how the new security guard tried to defend Liu Qiang, all they said was that he judged people by their looks, looked down on others, and didn’t respect other people’s work. Nothing else was revealed to the new security guard.

Liu Qiang also knew Ye Chen was a low‑key person, and knew his temper even better. If these people learned Ye Chen’s identity from his mouth...

Then his position as deputy general manager would probably be gone.

"Captain, say something to Manager Liu for me. I did all this for the company." The new security guard looked at the security captain with a pleading face.

The security captain wasn’t stupid. Of course he knew the new guard wanted him to intercede, but he refused.

"I already told you before, you can’t look down on those delivery guys, couriers, and all that. You insisted on not listening. Now look, you’ve brought trouble on yourself. I can’t help you." The security captain shook his head.

Even though he got along with the new security guard, he was also afraid this guy would drag him down.

Seeing that no one would help him, the new security guard could only resign himself to his fate.

He left with a face full of grievance.

If the new security guard knew the real reason he was fired was because he’d offended the boss, he probably wouldn’t have that expression.

But this secret was something he’d never learn in his lifetime.

Because not only would Liu Qiang never say a word, even the security captain who had a decent relationship with him wouldn’t reveal a single bit of information about Ye Chen.

In the elevator, the staff working in Financial Mansion saw Ye Chen standing beside them and started talking nonstop.

"This delivery guy is something else. I gotta give him a like."

"Yeah, he’s just a food courier, but the way he handled things isn’t worse than anyone else."

"Exactly. Delivery workers are people too. Why should they have to bow and scrape to those kinds of folks?"

"Not really. I just saw another delivery guy begging for ages and it still didn’t work. But this guy was much tougher, and those people had nothing to say."

"Look, even Manager Liu treated this delivery guy with respect."

Ye Chen only smiled at their chatter and said nothing.

Inside the elevator, one person was the owner of a company that had offices in Financial Mansion.

He happened to be standing next to Ye Chen. Thinking back on Ye Chen’s performance downstairs just now, he also felt this delivery guy beside him was really quite interesting.

The boss couldn’t help glancing at Ye Chen, and suddenly felt the man in front of him looked strangely familiar.

A figure suddenly flashed through his mind.

He had met Ye Chen once before, when he rented this office and negotiated the price with Ye Chen.

Realizing that the delivery guy next to him was actually the owner of Financial Mansion, the boss instantly panicked a little.

He knew Ye Chen was already that rich, owning the whole Financial Mansion, yet still either delivered packages or drove rideshare, basically never stayed in the office.

Now thinking about how Ye Chen had even switched to delivering takeout, the corner of his mouth twitched. He thought, this young man really knows how to play.

Although the boss was much older than Ye Chen, the Two People shared very upright values.

Because he had also been looked down on in the past, and only became a boss by starting a company through his own hard work.

Deep down he really despised people who looked at others through tinted glasses.

By coincidence, the order Ye Chen was delivering was also on the twentieth floor, and the boss’s rented office was likewise on the twentieth floor.

When the elevator reached the twentieth floor, the Two People got off one after the other.

Just now, the boss had also heard the female employee speaking rudely and disrespectfully to the delivery guy, full of contempt.

Ye Chen dialed the female employee’s number and told her to come out to pick up her meal.

The female employee walked out, but instead put on a face of blame. "I’ve been waiting at least three minutes because of your incompetence. You made me stand here hungry waiting for you. I’m going to file a complaint against you right now."

She felt the guy was just a delivery worker, and didn’t even bother to look Ye Chen straight in the eye.

The female employee walked up to Ye Chen, still full of anger. Only when she got close did she realize the man in front of her was unbelievably handsome.

She was completely stunned by Ye Chen’s looks.

Seeing a super good‑looking guy standing in front of her, the anger in her heart faded quite a bit.

The female employee had never seen a man this handsome before, and couldn’t help developing other thoughts about Ye Chen.

"Aren’t you worried that I’ll complain about you? I know being complained about has a huge impact on you guys." The female employee threatened.

Ye Chen looked at the woman in front of him and thought, I’m just helping someone out anyway. If you want to complain, go ahead.

Even though that was what he thought, he still said out loud, "Of course I’m worried."

Hearing this, the female employee knew her plan had worked.

She smiled at Ye Chen and said, "How about this: I can choose not to complain, but you have to go on a date with me."

Ye Chen hadn’t expected this woman to be so shameless, actually making that kind of demand.

Thinking about it, it really wasn’t easy being a food courier nowadays. One careless move and someone might complain.

No matter how high the floor, they had to run deliveries. Even if they were exhausted to death, people acted like that was what they deserved.

As long as the customer was unhappy, no matter how good your service was, you might still get a bad review.

You could say being a delivery worker was just too hard.

Just as the female employee was waiting for Ye Chen’s answer, a sudden cough sounded from behind them.

The person who coughed was none other than the boss who had been following behind Ye Chen the whole time.

The female employee saw the boss standing there the entire time and realized he must have heard the Two People’s conversation loud and clear.

Thinking of that, the female employee was practically scared out of her wits.

She had been thinking that since she’d run into such a handsome guy, she had to seize the opportunity and use threats to get what she wanted.

She never imagined the boss would see all of this.

"Hello, boss." The female employee called out, trembling.

"How can you make things so difficult for a delivery worker?" the boss shouted angrily.

Then he turned to Ye Chen with an apologetic look.

Ye Chen didn’t say anything, just nodded at him.

From the boss’s expression just now, it was obvious this female employee was done for.

Ye Chen turned to leave, and the boss actually followed behind him.

The female employee thought the boss was leaving and couldn’t help letting out a long sigh of relief.

Then she saw the boss personally press the elevator button for Ye Chen and watch him leave.

Just as the female employee was staring at the elevator in shock, the boss had already turned back and walked toward her again.

She kept thinking, that guy is just a delivery worker, so why would the boss treat him so respectfully and even run over to press the elevator for him?

The female employee didn’t have time to think it through. The boss had already stopped in front of her, glaring at her with a face full of anger.
