Chapter 1185: Delivery
"Boss, I need to send something."
Chen Yang parked his car at the entrance, pushed the door open, and said to the middle-aged boss who was packing inside the shop.
The middle-aged boss, hearing a customer coming, quickly put down what he was doing and stood up.
"Sure, young man, what do you want to send?" the boss asked with a smile.
Chen Yang pointed to the wild oranges in the car: "I want to send some fruit to the provincial city, is that okay?"
"Sending fruit?" The mailing boss paused for a moment.
Obviously surprised, as he had never seen someone send such items before.
"Sending this kind of item is definitely doable, but young man, I have to remind you, our mailing charges are calculated by weight and volume. If you have a lot, it might not be very cost-effective," the boss thought for a moment and kindly reminded Chen Yang.
Chen Yang smiled: "No need to worry about that, as long as it can be sent, it's fine."
"Alright then, go ahead and bring down what you need to send, I'll pack it for you."
Seeing Chen Yang was insistent, the boss could say nothing more and agreed.
"Okay."
Chen Yang nodded, then turned around to open the trunk and started unloading the wild oranges.
He brought a total of sixty boxes, evenly distributing them among three people, which meant twenty boxes per person.
Twenty boxes of wild oranges stacked together were quite a lot.
The boss at the mailing point was again taken aback to see so many boxes to be sent.
"Young man, are you sure you want to send this many? The shipping cost is not cheap," the boss couldn't help but remind again.
"No worries, boss, just pack them up. I'll pay whatever the cost is,"
Chen Yang assured once more.
The boss, seeing this, had no choice but to bewilderedly help Chen Yang pack everything up.
After packing, he calculated the shipping cost for Chen Yang.
Because there were so many, the boss couldn't calculate it manually and had to use a calculator to figure it out.
"Young man, the shipping cost is over five hundred, you know. With that amount, you could buy another twenty boxes," the boss said in surprise.
Chen Yang smiled and didn't discuss the topic further. Instead, he took out his phone, scanned the QR code on the wall, and directly transferred five hundred yuan.
"Alright boss, the money has been transferred; just let me know once it's shipped."
The boss, seeing Chen Yang pay so decisively, immediately smiled as well.
"Haha, alright, give me the address, and I'll load it up today. It'll be delivered by tomorrow morning," said the boss.
"Okay."
Chen Yang nodded, then filled in the address Wu Kexin gave him for the boss.
After exchanging a few words, Chen Yang drove away from the mailing point and continued on the road heading to the county town.
Twenty minutes later, he arrived at Lintianxia Hotel.
Due to a recent medicinal cuisine incident, Lintianxia's business was slow for a while.
But recently, under Li Han's management, Lintianxia regained its former reputation and even improved slightly.
It was already two in the afternoon, the hotel bustling with people coming and going, very lively.
Chen Yang arrived at the hotel and first called Li Han, informing her that he brought the wild oranges and was leaving them there.
Li Han was probably busy, so she didn't have time to come down and just told Chen Yang to leave them in the hotel lobby and hand them over to the lobby manager.
"Alright, I'll leave them in the lobby."
Chen Yang agreed and hung up the phone.
The hotel managers already knew Chen Yang, so when he called for them, they enthusiastically came over to help unload the wild oranges.
After unloading, Chen Yang didn't stay long at the hotel and didn't go up to hang out with Li Han.
He just turned around, got in the car, and continued to Wang Qingyue's restaurant.
Like before, when Chen Yang arrived at the restaurant doorway, he first called Wang Qingyue, telling her he had arrived.
"Oh? You got here so quickly? I'm at the hotel right now; just give me a moment, I'll be right down," Wang Qingyue said in a surprised tone before hanging up.
Chen Yang waited at the doorway for two or three minutes.
Soon, he saw Wang Qingyue in a black lace dress, looking like a little witch, coming out of the restaurant with a few waitstaff.
"Chen Yang, are all these wild oranges in the car for me?"
Wang Qingyue walked up with a smile on her face and asked Chen Yang.
Chen Yang nodded, leaning on the car window: "Yes, these are all for you."
Seeing they were indeed for her, Wang Qingyue promptly had the waitstaff behind her move them.
Then, she walked over to Chen Yang's window and asked with a smile: "Chen Yang, do you have time this afternoon? Want to go for a stroll with me?"
"A stroll? Where to?"
Chen Yang did have time, but instead didn't agree directly, asking where she wanted to go with a smile.
"I'm just bored at home and want to go for a walk. Do we really have to have a destination? Honestly," she rolled her eyes at Chen Yang and then bypassed the car to get into the passenger seat.
"Alright, alright, let's go for a walk then."
Chen Yang smiled wryly and eventually agreed.
After the waitstaff finished unloading all the wild oranges from the car, he started the vehicle and headed toward the outskirts of town.
Since the idea was to get some fresh air, naturally, wandering in the city was out of the question.
"Chen Yang, recently my combat skills have improved a lot, let's spar some time."
Just after driving out for a bit, Wang Qingyue mentioned with a smile from the passenger seat.
"I noticed you've been taking quite a bit of Elixir for body training lately, haven't you? These are useful, but you also need to train regularly to get the maximum effect," Chen Yang said while glancing at Wang Qingyue.
Wang Qingyue looked surprised: "You could tell my combat skills improved? You are amazing."
Chen Yang laughed: "Of course, I'm at a higher level than you. It's only normal that I could see your skills have improved."
Wang Qingyue was planning to surprise Chen Yang.
But hearing Chen Yang's words, she felt a bit deflated.
"Ugh, I wanted to give you a big surprise, but you figured it out. Let's not spar then," Wang Qingyue said, feeling down.
"Hahaha, we still need to spar. Even though I know your level has improved, I don't know about your practical skills," Chen Yang said to lift her spirits.
Indeed, with Chen Yang's words, Wang Qingyue perked up.
"Oh right, I've been doing practical sparring recently. It would be good to have a match with you!" she said enthusiastically.
"Exactly, let me see if your practical combat has improved lately,"
Chen Yang nodded with a smile, then glanced at the navigation on the car's dashboard and said, "There's a park ahead, shall we take a walk there and maybe find a place to practice?"
"Sure! Let's go."
Wang Qingyue agreed immediately with interest.
So Chen Yang drove toward the park.
In a few minutes, they arrived at the park and found a suitable open space.
But just as they were about to spar, a new problem emerged.
Today, Wang Qingyue was wearing a dress...
How could they spar like this?
Chen Yang felt a bit awkward, and so did Wang Qingyue.
Her face even turned a bit red.
"Perhaps we should leave it for another day and find a better opportunity. After all, we have plenty of time," Chen Yang said after thinking for a while.
"Okay," Wang Qingyue agreed right away.
Then the two walked arm in arm, like a young couple, leisurely strolling around the park.
