"Mr. Su, I’ll see you at Lycar then!" After arranging to have dinner with Daniel at Lycar, Su Xuan hung up the phone. He couldn’t be bothered to go back to the courier station for his Koenigsegg; he knew he’d be drinking tonight, which meant he wouldn’t be able to drive anyway. So, he simply rode his tricycle toward Lycar. Along the way, he got a call from Alice. "Su Xuan, did you forget you were supposed to go shopping with me?" she asked. "Ahem, I just got off work and was about to get some dinner!" "I haven’t eaten either!" "Alright, how about this: you head over to Lycar and wait for me. We can go shopping after we eat." Considering he wouldn’t know many people at the dinner, Su Xuan figured Alice might as well join him. "Why isn’t Mr. Su here yet?" Daniel, the President of Caranda’s China division, muttered to himself. Dressed in a sharp, luxurious suit, he paced back and forth at the entrance to Lycar. More than twenty minutes had passed since their agreed-upon time, but there was still no sign of Su Xuan. He glanced up at the sky. Layers of dark clouds were pressing low, and it looked like it was about to rain. "Is Su Xuan even coming?" Alice had also arrived by now and was standing near Daniel, also waiting. Bored, Daniel let his gaze fall on her. Wow, what a unique mix of Eastern and Western features! She’s so beautiful she looks like a meticulously rendered 3D character. Just her standing there makes the whole scene feel surreal! "Ahem!" Daniel cleared his throat and approached her. "Hello, beautiful lady. Are you waiting for someone too?" Alice glanced at him and gave an indifferent, "Mm." Daniel smiled. "Ah, what a coincidence, so am I! May I ask which country you’re from?" Alice just looked down at the ground beneath her feet. Though she didn’t look like a typical Chinese girl, her heart was one hundred percent Chinese. Daniel caught on immediately. "Oh, so you’re Chinese! I wish I could become a Chinese citizen myself. Everything here is so beautiful, so captivating. It’s so enchanting that I never want to leave. It’s a real pity that acquiring citizenship here is so difficult! But I’ll keep trying until I can be just like you." This foreigner is a smooth talker. The moment he finds out I’m Chinese, he starts showering the country with praise. He’s just like those foreigners on livestreaming platforms who gush about China, claiming they’d die to be Chinese, all to scam viewers out of huge donations! People joke that they’ve found the secret code to getting rich. They use the same lines on Chinese girls to win their affection and trick them into bed! And afterward, they have the nerve to maliciously call them ’Cheap Girls’! It’s disgusting. There’s even a name for foreigners like him: ’foreign trash’. The next second, Daniel extended his hand to Alice. "Beautiful lady, my name is Daniel. May I ask yours?" She ignored him completely. Daniel awkwardly retracted his hand. "You must have misunderstood me, miss. I’m not like that ’foreign trash.’ I genuinely love everything about this place and all the lovely people here!" Huh? Alice squinted at him. This guy is smoother than he looks. He immediately tried to distance himself from the ’foreign trash’ label. Suddenly, raindrops began to fall. A figure could be seen pushing a tricycle toward the Lycar entrance. "Su Xuan! Su Xuan, I’m over here!" As soon as she saw the figure, Alice started waving happily. Her face lit up with a joy that suggested they had known each other for years, when in fact, they had only spent one night together. "Come help me push!" Su Xuan called out, looking up at Alice. My tricycle ran out of battery halfway, and it’s incredibly heavy to push. If I weren’t physically stronger than the average person, there’s no way I could have gotten it to Lycar this quickly. I couldn’t just abandon it on the side of the road, though. I’ve really grown attached to this thing; I’d be heartbroken if I lost it. Besides, this is a good opportunity to reflect on past hardships to appreciate the present, a reminder not to forget the spirit of hard work and simple living. Yes, this is a great chance to gain some insight into life! Life is like pushing a tricycle with a dead battery. It’s exhausting, but every step feels real, and every step counts. If you’re in a luxury car, you cover dozens of meters in the blink of an eye, and it’s hard to have such deep insights. "Coming!" Alice, despite her high heels, trotted over to the back of the tricycle and started helping Su Xuan push. "Su Xuan? Mr. Su?" Daniel froze for a moment, then rushed over as well. He looked Su Xuan up and down, confirming that this was indeed Caranda’s second-largest shareholder, leaving him utterly stunned. Mr. Su is actually a delivery courier! And he’s pushing a tricycle that’s run out of battery! Could he be any more low-key? "Mr. Su, allow me!" Daniel cried out, snatching the handlebars from Su Xuan’s hands. Like a charging bull, he powered the tricycle toward the entrance of Lycar. "Mr. Su, I’m Daniel from Caranda!" he added quickly, afraid Su Xuan might think he was trying to steal the vehicle. "Oh, nice to meet you," Su Xuan said, watching Daniel’s powerful back. He thought the man seemed like a pretty decent guy. Alice blinked. That foreigner is Su Xuan’s friend? So he isn’t some ’foreign trash’? After pushing the tricycle to the front of Lycar, Daniel hesitantly approached a security guard. "Excuse me, could I park this tricycle here by the entrance? It belongs to a very, very important friend of mine. It’s about to rain, and I don’t want his vehicle getting wet." I know the entrance is for people, not for parking, and leaving a tricycle here is against the rules. But I have to ask. If I can pull this off, Mr. Su will definitely have a better impression of me. But what he didn’t know was that Lycar belonged to Su Xuan. Even if he had pushed the tricycle straight into a luxury suite, no one would have stopped him; in fact, they’d probably have helped him. "No," the security guard said, shaking his head. "Ah!" Daniel’s face fell with disappointment. "However, you can push it into the hotel lobby," the guard suddenly added. "That’s a much more suitable place for it!" "What did you say?" Daniel thought he must have misheard. "You can push it into the hotel lobby!" Seeing Su Xuan and Alice approaching, the guard lowered his voice urgently. "We’ll take good care of it. Hurry, push it in!" ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚑𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥 With that, the guard even helped Daniel by opening the side door next to the main revolving door. In truth, the guard had seen his big boss, Su Xuan, pushing the tricycle from a long way off. His first instinct was to rush out and help, but all Lycar staff had been sternly warned by Liu Ming. They were told not to make a fuss whenever they saw Mr. Su, to be discreet, protect his identity, and not cause him the slightest bit of trouble. If they wanted to curry favor with Mr. Su, they should do it privately when no one was around. So, he had remained at his post, not moving an inch, allowing Daniel to be the one to help Su Xuan. Daniel quickly pushed the tricycle through the side door and parked it in the magnificent Lycar lobby. The gesture so overwhelmed him that he was on the verge of tears. Wow! This is so touching! For such a luxurious hotel to be so understanding and reasonable! This would be impossible in my country! I love China even more now! Here, I can feel true freedom and respect! It makes me feel like a real person! Little did he know, even warmer gestures were yet to come.
