Tiger of the Delivery Station

Ye Mei felt a mix of astonishment and bewilderment.

She truly could not fathom where Li Jinshui found the audacity to shamelessly spout such earnest flattery right to her face.

She had absolute self-awareness regarding her appearance; it was a fact that she was beautiful and had a great figure, but she certainly wasn't so ageless as to be mistaken for a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, let alone be subjected to talk about "youthful beauty."

Yet, being praised so solemnly by a handsome younger man, no woman could truly bring herself to be angry.

"Silence!"

After a full half-minute, Ye Mei finally forced a stern expression and snapped coldly.

"..." Li Jinshui fell silent. Damn it, I already stopped talking.

"I called you here today to discuss serious business. Stop spouting that nonsense."

Ye Mei quickly regained the composure of a strong career woman, pulled a file from her desk drawer, and tossed it in front of Li Jinshui: "This is the report the investigator just sent over. The trouble you caused outside is significant. The security company has already tracked you to the Youth Training Camp and added you to the blacklist for every property they manage in Rong City."

"Look, I, Li Jinshui, take responsibility for my own actions. I enjoyed killing that guard. If Supervisor Ye thinks I did something wrong, you can fire me at any time."

Li Jinshui didn't care in the slightest, pulling the chair beside him over with a flourish and leaning back: "Besides, when I was working security, delivery drivers breaking through the gate was a common occurrence. And is there any top-tier delivery driver who hasn't crashed a gate? I'll keep doing it in the future."

"The situation is different. The guard you killed was from Weihu Security Company. Although the incident happened in an area without surveillance and the Inspection Bureau doesn't want to get involved, Weihu Security has been entrenched in Rong City for many years and keeps quite a few Drifter Gangs under their thumb. When you go out to deliver orders, they will inevitably target and surround you in certain residential complexes," Ye Mei shook her head, saying expressionlessly.

"I'm not afraid. Since I chose to deliver food, I was prepared to be targeted at any time." Li Jinshui's expression tightened, his eyes sharp, "Supervisor Ye, which residential complex in the delivery station is the most dangerous and hardest to deliver to?"

"Hengda."

"Then I'll deliver through Hengda. Three months from now, I want the entire Rong City to know my name—the Tiger of the Delivery Station, Li Jinshui!"

"..."

Ye Mei was speechless once again, sighing inwardly. He is seriously ill. I just hope he doesn't die too quickly after leaving.

"Fine. In any case, the company has tried its best to mediate for you; the rest depends on your own struggle. As for the second matter..." Ye Mei reached out and tapped the file on the table, "Tell me, how much money did you swindle from that young girl out there?"

"What swindling?" Li Jinshui's face flushed red instantly, the veins on his forehead bulging: "It was a matter between classmates; how can you call it swindling?"

Then followed a string of incomprehensible words, such as "rational reorganization of resources," "she was the one who was sick, not me," and "she was coveting my male beauty."

"..."

Ye Mei felt her temples throbbing. She took another deep breath, forcibly suppressing the urge to smash the folder into Li Jinshui's face.

"The Yao family are high-level executives at the Rong City branch of Daqing Insurance. The bit of money you swindled doesn't amount to much, and Yao Xiaona isn't from the main branch of the family, so I've already arranged for the PR department to smooth things over for you. But you must guarantee that you won't go and provoke them again. Do you understand?" she emphasized coldly.

"Supervisor Ye, this really isn't my fault. That Yao Xiaona was the one who provoked me first." Li Jinshui felt genuinely wronged this time.

"Then stay far away from her. Don't give her the chance to provoke you," Ye Mei gritted her teeth. If it weren't for the fact that Li Jinshui was mentally unstable and possessed great martial arts talent, she would have lost her temper long ago.

Having been a supervisor at the Youth Training Camp for so many years, she asked herself, which employee would dare talk to her like this?

"Alright, I get it. Don't be angry. I promise to keep myself clean and stay away from those wild women out there from now on," Li Jinshui realized with a start and gave a sincere guarantee.

"???"

Ye Mei frowned instantly. Why did that sound so wrong?

"Forget it. Go back to class. After class, go to the logistics department to collect your resources for the first week."

Ye Mei rubbed her brow, feeling physically and mentally exhausted, and reminded him: "Also, have fewer conflicts with other trainees. Don't waste your precious time. Memorize the Lightning Pulse Step as soon as possible. You need to be able to recite it backward within five days at the very least, otherwise, you won't live up to your Grade A status."

After speaking, she waved her hand as if shooing a fly, signaling for Li Jinshui to leave immediately.

"Got it, babe." Li Jinshui followed instructions perfectly and walked away obediently.

"..."

Ye Mei's head was instantly covered in black lines, and the signature pen in her hand snapped in two with a "crack."

It wasn't until Li Jinshui had left the office and walked far away that she silently stood up and walked over to close the office door.

Returning to her desk, she paused in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror. Looking at the cold, frost-like face in the reflection, she reached out to gently touch the faint crow's feet at the corner of her eyes, and her ears began to turn slightly red again.

When he returned to Venue No. 1, Huang Lichen was already sitting inside, explaining the nuances of the Lightning Pulse Step.

Seeing Li Jinshui return, Huang Lichen nodded for him to join the formation, while casually asking: "Did you finish talking with Supervisor Ye? It wasn't a big problem, right?"

"Yeah, it's fine. Small issue. You know women—just coax them with a few words and it's all good," Li Jinshui replied nonchalantly, standing at the very front of the formation, isolated in front of the first row.

"?"

What does he mean by "coax them with a few words"?

Huang Lichen was stunned, sweeping a strange look at him, but he nodded without saying anything more. He has a performative personality, so being a bit eccentric is normal.

"Hiss!"

However, the dozen or so trainees below felt as if they had heard a thunderclap on a clear day, and they all gasped in shock.

They looked at each other, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

Holy crap, what does this mean?

The relationship between Supervisor Ye and Li Jinshui... it couldn't be what we think it is, could it?

No wonder, no wonder Supervisor Ye used that tone to tell him to leave just now, and it seems Camp Commander Huang Lichen knew about their business too!

But... is this something we should be hearing?

"Alright, since everyone is here, I will announce one thing before we continue with the lesson."

At this moment, Huang Lichen spoke in a deep voice, pulling everyone's attention back.

He scanned the room, his tone serious: "Although I have served as deputy camp commander for many years, this is my first time acting as the chief instructor of the Youth Training Camp. You are my first batch of students. I don't expect your results to crush those of previous batches, but at the very least, there shall be no dead weight dragging us down under my watch."

"Therefore, I have decided to personally add an incentive program for you. Within five days, whoever can memorize the entire Lightning Pulse Step manual will receive a basic martial arts technique as a reward, paid out of my own pocket."

Having said that, Huang Lichen looked at Li Jinshui: "You are a Grade A student, so you must memorize it within three days."

"..." The corner of Li Jinshui's mouth twitched slightly.

Three days?

Supervisor Ye just said five days, and you're cutting it down to three for me?

Supervisor Ye really knows how to look out for me.

The students present also began to stir.

This reward was not small.

A basic martial arts manual costs twenty thousand yuan outside without a student discount.

If it were a niche basic martial arts technique, the price would be even higher.

Now, as long as you memorize the manual within five days, you can earn those twenty thousand for free; that would be too good.

However, Li Jinshui was in for a rough time. Three days?

Heh, that manual is full of both text and diagrams, and the content is substantial. If anyone can memorize it in three days, we'll do handstands while eating.

The crowd's eyes couldn't help but drift toward Li Jinshui, filled with a bit of schadenfreude over personal grudges.

Li Jinshui ignored the others, looking only at Huang Lichen, and raised an eyebrow: "Camp Commander Huang, what if I can memorize it today?"

"Today?"

Huang Lichen was amused upon hearing this. Is this kid unhappy about being treated differently?

"If you can memorize it today, I'll give you two basic martial arts techniques, and you can choose the types yourself."

Two basic martial arts techniques?

That's worth at least forty thousand. If he chose niche ones, it would be worth at least sixty or seventy thousand. He would make a killing if he resold them.

"Fine, it's a deal!" Li Jinshui agreed on the spot and shouted: "Then let's begin."

"Wait, A-Shui, are you serious? And you're starting right now?" Huang Lichen was stunned, and the students below all widened their eyes, looking at him in complete shock.

"Of course I'm serious. I already flipped through it once just now and memorized it all." Li Jinshui shrugged, his tone relaxed, "No matter how slow a person is, they should at least be able to have a photographic memory, right?"

"Heh, photographic memory, is it?" Huang Lichen laughed in anger, crossed his arms, and leaned back in his chair, "I really don't believe in that nonsense. Come on, recite it. Recite it for me right now."

Everyone's gaze instantly focused on Li Jinshui.

Li Jinshui curled his lips, clasped his hands behind his back, and stared into the air with a profound gaze.

Soon, his clear voice rang out resonantly through the venue:

"The way of heaven diminishes the surplus to replenish the deficiency; thus, use the extreme power source to supplement the void of qi and blood. The intersection of positive and negative divides yin and yang, guiding the pulse to surge through the apertures, wrapping the thunderous sound with qi, and using the new national standard lithium electrode to set a micro-voltage of twelve volts..."
