Chapter 76: Chapter 76 I’m Going to Help with Disaster Relief_1
"Please stand still, Mr. Su. I’m going to take your measurements now," Daniel’s timid female assistant said, taking out a soft measuring tape as she stood in front of Su Xuan.
"By the way, I already bought a bunch of clothes from the Caranda flagship store last night. Do I still need something custom-made?" Su Xuan asked, puzzled.
"Custom-tailored will definitely be better than off-the-rack," the assistant replied as she measured Su Xuan’s shoulders. She didn’t tell him what kind of clothes they were making, because Daniel had instructed her not to. He said it was an unexpected little surprise for Su Xuan.
"Mr. Su, is there anything else you need?" the assistant asked, looking up at him. "If so, we can have it all custom-made at the same time."
"No, I don’t need anything else," Su Xuan replied, shaking his head.
"Oh no!" After measuring Su Xuan’s shoulders, the assistant was about to jot down the numbers when she realized she couldn’t find her pen. I’m sure I brought it with me! How could it have disappeared?
"Use mine," Su Xuan said, handing his hundred-million-yuan pen to her.
The Treasure of the Building! The assistant’s eyes lit up instantly. She had always seen this pen displayed in the most prominent spot in the Lycar Building’s executive lounge. Every time she saw it, she couldn’t help but wish she could just touch it. She would have been satisfied even without writing a single word. She couldn’t believe Su Xuan was now so casually handing it to her!
She took the pen with both hands and carefully recorded the measurements. Then she proceeded to measure Su Xuan’s cuffs.
Her gaze focused, and she froze. She had just spotted the Vacheron Constantin watch on Su Xuan’s wrist, valued at 56 million yuan! She recognized it instantly. Daniel had once casually mentioned on his birthday that the gift he most wanted was a watch—the Vacheron Constantin 57260! She had secretly looked it up online and discovered that Daniel’s dream watch was the very model Su Xuan was wearing now.
Oh my god! Just how loaded is Su Xuan? He has a mansion spanning several thousand square meters! An enigmatic and elegant old butler! A fishpond with leaping koi! And an incredibly adorable giant panda! Not to mention a hundred-million-yuan pen, a Vacheron Constantin watch, and... and... I can’t take it anymore! I just can’t! This damnable wealth... it’s making my head spin! It’s completely irresistible!
And on top of that, Su Xuan’s physique is incredible! Every part she measured was absolute perfection. A hair more and it would be too much; a hair less and it would be too little. It was as if he were personally sculpted by the heavens! I can’t take it! I really can’t!
After finishing the measurements, the beautiful assistant’s face suddenly flushed. She hurried to the restroom and didn’t come out for quite a while. When she did, her hair was damp and clinging to her temples.
"Mr. Su..." Upon returning, she lowered her head and asked Su Xuan in a quiet voice, "Is your household... by any chance looking for a maid?"
"Huh?" Su Xuan blinked.
"Honestly, I don’t really like being Daniel’s assistant," she confessed. "My favorite things to do are cooking, doing laundry, cleaning, feeding the fish, and feeding the giant panda... just like how you enjoy delivering packages."
*(Meanwhile, a thought popped into Wang Xuehan’s head: I suddenly smell danger!)*
"Well, if I ever need anyone, I’ll let you know," Su Xuan replied diplomatically.
"Thank you, Mr. Su! Please don’t forget!"
As the assistant left Su Xuan’s mansion, she took tiny steps, looking back reluctantly every few moments.
RING, RING!
Su Xuan’s phone suddenly rang.
"Mr. Su, this is the store manager from last night," a breathless voice said over the phone. "I’ve brought your clothes to Guanhai Street. Could you tell me your specific address?"
The manager had volunteered the previous night to personally deliver the clothes that Su Xuan and Alice had purchased.
"Butler Liu, please go out and meet him," Su Xuan said, looking toward the butler. "Just look for the person carrying the most clothes."
Butler Liu immediately hurried out. A short while later, he returned, leading the store manager who was struggling under a huge bundle of clothes.
The manager had the same star-struck reaction as the female assistant. As he was leaving after dropping off the clothes, he leaned in and asked Su Xuan conspiratorially, "Mr. Su, you wouldn’t happen to need a security guard, would you?"
Su Xuan could only smile wryly. Aren’t young people picky about their jobs these days?
After the manager left, Senior Sister Wang Xuehan returned, carrying a large bag of groceries. She had gone to the market early in the morning, wanting to make Su Xuan a nutritious breakfast before he left for work. Although fresh produce was regularly delivered to the mansion, she preferred selecting it herself at the market; it gave her more peace of mind.
Just then, Alice woke up and stepped outside to breathe in the fresh courtyard air. Seeing Wang Xuehan with the groceries, she went over to help, and then the two of them went into the kitchen to cook together.
"I really like this kind of life," Su Xuan said, contentedly wiping his mouth after finishing the meal the two women had prepared. "It’s simple, comfortable, and very real."
He then changed into his courier uniform, left the house, and headed for the depot.
Time to deliver packages! Delivering packages makes me happier and happier!
「」
"Mr. Su, there’s something I need to report to you."
Just as he reached the entrance to the courier depot, Su Xuan received a call from Liu Ming of Lycar.
"Go ahead," Su Xuan said.
"Last night’s heavy rain caused a disaster in a mountain village about a hundred kilometers to the west," Liu Ming explained. "The rainfall there was much heavier than what we got. Many houses collapsed, and there were casualties. The city authorities have called on all capable enterprises to rush to the disaster area for relief efforts. Do you think Lycar should participate?"
"Is it that serious?" Su Xuan’s tone grew grave. "What can Lycar do for the disaster area?"
"We can donate bedding, toiletries, and other necessities to address their urgent needs!" Liu Ming suggested.
"Alright! We absolutely have to go!" Su Xuan declared. "And we can also send a few of our chefs to help with cooking."
"Ah?" Liu Ming was surprised. "Send people? What if they can’t handle the hardship and run away?"
Su Xuan chuckled. "It’s just temporary help, not like we’re asking them to stay there forever."
"Oh, right! Then that’s no problem," Liu Ming said. "Mr. Su, will you be going?"
"I probably shouldn’t. I don’t have any useful skills, so I’d only get in the way and cause trouble," Su Xuan said.
"I heard the entire relief effort will be broadcast live on television. It’s a great opportunity for exposure. A lot of CEOs from major corporations will be there. It would be a huge boost to our corporate image," Liu Ming pressed.
"I’m still not going. You handle all the arrangements for me, and don’t worry about the cost."
With that, Su Xuan hung up on Liu Ming. But as soon as he did, his phone rang again. This time, it was Dean Kangnai.
The dean was also talking about the disaster relief and strongly urged him to participate.
"Mr. Su, you have an excellent public image!" Dean Kangnai said. "You would be the perfect person to represent Kangnai in the relief efforts!"
"Please just send as many medical staff as you can," Su Xuan replied. "I don’t have any medical skills, so I’d only get in the way."
Then, Su Xuan quickly walked into the courier depot. In the yard, he saw a large truck with a banner hanging on its side:
Smooth Wind Express — Disaster Relief Supplies Vehicle.
"Su Xuan, you’re finally here!" Lu Dachun rushed over to greet him. "The rain was terrible last night, and a village in the western mountains called Pig Head Gully was hit hard. When headquarters heard the news, they immediately sent over these relief supplies and instructed us to go help. They specifically requested you for the job!"
He pointed to the supply truck and continued, "To stay true to our corporate culture, all the relief supplies have been packaged like express parcels. When you get there, just treat it like you’re delivering packages. Come back when you’re done. The mission is simple!"
Su Xuan touched his chin. "That’s a creative approach."
"The TV stations will be broadcasting it live! It’s a huge opportunity to boost our company’s image, so we have to be creative!" Lu Dachun said. "Hey, you know that big-shot reporter, Su, don’t you? She’ll definitely be at the disaster area. When you see her, make sure she gives you plenty of screen time... Hey, Su Xuan... Su Xuan, where’d you go?"
Su Xuan had already climbed into the driver’s seat of the large truck.
He gripped the steering wheel, his heart pounding with excitement. I’m going to help with disaster relief, and I get to do it by delivering a whole truck full of packages!
Current Super Express Delivery Task progress: 6/10.
