The game's heroine has come true? The aloof school beauty is in tears.

The men were having a conversation in front of them.

The women also had a conversation in the kitchen.

Of course, there were only two women at the entire site.

Aunt Liu and Shang Qingya.

Aunt Liu was a plump, kind-looking middle-aged woman who greeted Shang Qingya in a very friendly manner.

"You're Xiaolu's girlfriend, right? I've heard my husband mention you."

"Auntie, we're not dating?"

Shang Qingya naturally shook her head. She had no work to do in the kitchen, so she just hid in this corner playing on her phone.

Lu Yuan originally intended to have her stay at home.

But after hearing that the party would be late and that there might be drinking involved, she came along.

She was worried that the road was long and she would drive the electric car while drunk.

"Just call her Aunt Liu."

"Aunt Liu, you can just call me Ya Ya."

"What does Ya Ya do for a living?"

Aunt Liu casually chatted about everyday things while arranging the cooked food she bought from the market.

She omitted the part about not being in a relationship, letting it be taken as a shy little girl.

Why are we even here?

She usually chats like this with her neighbors at home.

"I'm still studying."

"Still studying?" Aunt Liu looked up in surprise and carefully examined Shang Qingya.

She had never heard of that before.

After all, when Lao Liu got home, he said that there was a young man at their station who was a good person, down-to-earth and capable, and would soon become the station manager.

Aunt Liu casually asked how old she was and whether she had a boyfriend.

Old Liu said he has a girlfriend, a pretty young woman, and the two of them look very well-matched.

Aunt Liu didn't ask any more questions, assuming that the two were probably a young couple who did low-level jobs and worked together to make a living.

I never expected that this little girl was a student.

As an elderly woman, Aunt Liu's overly enthusiastic nature couldn't be contained: "So, what are your plans for the future?"

"have no idea."

Shang Qingya shook her head.

She had been troubled by family matters these past few days, and the pressure of the big exam was constantly weighing on her.

There's no time to think about all that.

"Then let me ask you, do you want a future together?"

Aunt Liu's question was very realistic.

A student and a delivery rider—even a fool would know there's no future for them.

She will meet many, many more people.

This question stumped Shang Qingya, leaving her standing there somewhat at a loss.

But she said, "There should be a future, right?"

"You shouldn't have said that to Aunt Liu. You need to make Xiao Lu understand."

Aunt Liu stopped abruptly at this point, picked up the cooked food, and walked out.

She's an experienced woman with a kind heart, and she always tries to offer advice in such situations.

Don't be fooled by Xiao Lu's current ability to make money and his seemingly impressive achievements.

If she can see a bigger world from other little girls, will she still care about you?

Of course, if someone truly has a conscience and will never abandon you no matter what, then you should express it verbally.

Don't let Xiaolu have any doubts.

Shang Qingya stared at Aunt Liu's retreating figure in the distance, lost in thought.

It was obvious that she understood what Aunt Liu meant.

...

"Celebrating the station manager's promotion!"

Lu Yuan was the first to raise his glass. He doesn't usually drink, but he has to have a little on occasions like this.

Everyone raised their glasses as well.

This includes Su Ming, who recently joined the Chengdong station and is already a veteran rider.

He came purely for the position of stationmaster.

So if we're really going to compare, he's Lu Yuan's competitor.

At first, he didn't think much of the East City Station. He had been a rider for many years and all the stations were the same.

But it's really different here.

"Why haven't I heard that the atmosphere at your Chengdong station is this good before?"

"I've only been here for a little over a month because it's far away."

"How can a young person create such an atmosphere?"

"You've omitted a lot of steps." Old Liu held up his wine glass, humming a little tune with a smile. "There are only two things in the world that can create an atmosphere: a great DJ and everyone being able to make money more comfortably."

"How else can I comfortably make money as a food delivery driver?"

Su Ming's face was full of question marks. How could there be any comfort in this kind of life of going through wind and rain?

But before anyone could answer his question, Lu Yuan said the next thing:

"Brothers, if any of us have conflicts with the businesses in this area, remember to let me know, I'll go talk to them." Lu Yuan said, a toothpick dangling from his mouth and a cup in his hand. "We're all out here to make money, let's keep things peaceful."

Everyone readily agreed, and the topic immediately shifted to the conflict between delivery riders and merchants.

They all started talking about the stupid merchants they had encountered in the past.

Long-term cooperation will inevitably involve some conflicts.

Old Liu patted Su Ming on the shoulder at the right moment, pointed to Lu Yuan and said, "It's not easy for us to even make a living. Where can we find something perfect? ​​As long as we're more comfortable than before, that's enough."

Su Ming nodded.

He had nothing to say.

He knew he couldn't win the competition, because Lu Yuan's existence was useful to everyone.

Anyone who goes against him is going against the entire site.

...

"Won't we get beaten up if we go in?"

"Who dares to lay a hand on someone these days? Besides, he lives far away; what kind of face does a little kid have?"

Shang Yan and Lao Zhao stood at the door, straightened their collars, and looked at the brightly lit station.

He strode forward.

Shang Yan has no real skills, but no one lives in vain; everyone has something they are good at.

His greatest talent is being a hooligan.

"Once you're inside, you'll act like a big shot to me. Poor people are afraid of those who are tough."

Shang Yan gave earnest instructions, then took the lead and pushed open the station door to go inside.

He didn't necessarily lose his prestige.

But he was a little worried about Lao Zhao.

That old guy always looks so slick and polished; don't let him mess things up.

"Just do exactly what I say! Got it?"

"Okay!" Old Zhao nodded seriously, his eyes constantly watching Shang Yan's movements.

Shang Yan looked up, and so did he.

Shang Yan puffed out his chest, and so did he.

Shang Yan's legs went weak, and so did his.

Wait a minute... what are you being soft about?

Old Zhao shifted his gaze from Shang Yan and looked towards the doorway.

Then his calves went weak again.

Why are there so many people?!

Those present turned their gazes toward the uninvited guest.

But no one recognized the visitor.

Lu Yuan didn't recognize him either, because he had never met Shang Yan before.

So no one spoke rashly; the riders waited for the newcomer to explain his purpose.

Shang Yan was somewhat stunned by the scene.

And so, an inexplicable silence fell over the place.

The silence was broken when Shang Qingya, who had just emerged from the restroom, exclaimed in surprise, "Dad!"

Everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment.

Shang Qingya's father?

With them, you don't need to say anything.

Wait a minute, it seems that Shang Qingya's father is Lu Yuan's father-in-law.

All that could be heard was the crackling sound of chairs rubbing together.

Several young people stood up and said in unison, "Uncle, please sit down."

Old Zhao stared wide-eyed at the sight.

He ate only one corn sausage that night, and the food on the table seemed so delicious to him.

He wanted to eat a couple of bites.

But just as he was about to take a step...

Shang Yan spoke with great authority:

"Which one is called 'far away'?"
