Chapter 207 Home Delivery

Two days later in the afternoon, the material machine was delivered.

Liu Yu happened to be at home. She looked outside through the small hole in the door and was surprised to find two women in logistics uniforms standing outside.

One of them was taller and looked very cramped standing in the low corridor. The baseball cap on her head was pushed down, revealing only half of her face. She had a high nose bridge and a smooth and neat jawline.

The one-meter-high packaging box in front of her was naturally the material machine.

Liu Yu has read many posts about material machines online these days and found out that there are only 2,000 first-generation material machines. Scarcity makes things valuable, and the prices are extremely high. It can be said that there is no price in the market.

If they get the material machine and resell it, I'm afraid they can get at least 50 million, or even more.

Many people specifically keep an eye on the list of free gifts given away by Tianqiong Company and contact them to buy. Many people cannot resist the temptation and sell, becoming rich overnight.

The more Liu Yu learned, the more he felt that the hotel's young manager Xu Dong had sinister intentions, and he was unwilling to accept this loss.

If this incident hadn't happened, they would have had this material machine, and even if they weren't afraid of losing it, they could have just synthesized some food and daily necessities and sold them for a lot of money.

In this way, her mother no longer has to work as a cleaner, worrying all day about having her job taken away by cleaning robots; she no longer has to worry about being criticized and deducted money by the hotel supervisor for not cleaning somewhere properly; she no longer has to search the garbage truck for leftovers from the supermarket to eat just to save a little money; and she no longer has to live for years in a house that never sees the sun, feeling so damp that moss grows in her heart.

But my mother has already signed a compensation agreement with that black-hearted Mr. Xu. What can she do?

Thinking of this, Liu Yu frowned. She opened the door unhappily and asked the courier to bring the equipment into the house.

Just as he was about to call Liu Xiuwen to sign for it, he heard her mother's cell phone on the table ringing.

She knew who was calling without even thinking. The person had asked about the arrival time of their material machine that morning and was very impatient.

She answered the phone before Liu Xiuwen.

A sinister laugh echoed from the other end. "The material machine has arrived, right? I saw the logistics truck."

Liu Yu slowly walked to the window, her body shrouded in damp shadows. She lowered her eyes and looked down. She saw a small truck with a logistics company logo parked in the narrow alley below, followed by a black Porsche. The window was rolled down, revealing half her shoulder. Her floral shirt was illuminated by the sunlight. A Patek Philippe sat on her wrist, resting on the windowsill, its dial reflecting a brilliant light.

She bit her lip tightly, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.

These rich people are so rich, why do they want to rob these poor people?!

Liu Yu suppressed his anger and asked, "Do you want to come up and get it?"

The person on the other end of the phone said, "I'll ask my assistant to come up."

"No! You must come up in person and bring the compensation agreement with you."

Without waiting for the man to refuse, Liu Yu said, "Otherwise we won't give you the material machine!" Then he simply hung up the phone.

"Hey? Are you kidding me? Didn't you see how stupid your mother was? She smashed antiques worth tens of millions into pieces. If it weren't for the fact that she could apply for a material machine, I would have had her killed long ago. And you're still bargaining with me—"

Xu Dong, who was sitting in the car, was so angry that he kept calling for a long time before he found that there was no response from the other party. When he looked at the screen of his mobile phone, the call had ended.

He kicked the seat hard, and the leather backrest made a dull sound, which scared the male assistant next to him.

"I really can't stand these poor people. Their stinginess makes me sick to my stomach! In the past, servants who dared to challenge their masters would have had their hands and feet chopped off and thrown to the dogs!"

The male assistant quickly bent down and said with a smile, "Don't be angry. These poor people are all like this. They have never seen the world. Young Master, what do you think we should do..."

Xu Dong's face darkened, "Oh, I'm going to go up and see if they dare not compensate for this material machine!"

He rushed over anxiously, wanting to get the material machine immediately, lest the cleaner change his mind again.

Xu Dong pushed open the car door and was about to walk into the corridor when he suddenly turned and glared at his assistant, "Lead the way! Are you waiting for me to treat you?"

The male assistant quickly jumped out of the car, walked in front of Xu Dong, turned on the light of his mobile phone to illuminate the dim corridor, and bent down to remind him, "Young Master, be careful of the dark."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Dong missed a step and almost fell. He quickly reached out to hold on to the railing next to him, but ended up with his hands covered in snot. His face turned pale in an instant, "Ahhhh! What kind of shitty place is this?!"

She wiped her hand on the male assistant's clothes. The male assistant's face darkened, but he didn't dare to get angry.

Ten minutes later, the two climbed to the top floor panting.

In the dim and moldy room, there was a brand new material machine. Its silver-white shell was glowing with a cold light, which was out of tune with the dilapidated environment around it.

Two couriers were standing nearby, confirming the identity of the recipient with Liu Xiuwen.

The tall woman in the baseball cap said, "I suggest you turn on the machine and check if it's working properly. If there's any problem, we can help arrange for it to be returned to the factory for repair."

Liu Xiuwen was very reserved and refused in a low voice, "No... no need..."

Xu Dong rushed over and said, "Of course something this valuable needs to be inspected in person. Let me do it!"

Liu Xiuwen startled him, but Liu Yu next to him reacted first and stretched out his hand to block the material machine, "What are you doing? This is my family's property!"

Xu Dong's rage soared, and he pushed the man to the ground. "Get away from me, what's yours? Your mother owes me this!"

Liu Yu was so angry that he was shaking all over. He struggled to get up from the ground and said angrily, "You are the one who harmed me. Look, my mother is a cripple, and you deliberately touched her porcelain! I will sue you, I will definitely sue you in court!"

Xu Dong looked at her red, childish face and laughed angrily. He said frivolously, "Go to the court? Little sister, can you find the entrance to the court?"

As he spoke, he pulled out a compensation agreement from his pocket and shoved it in Liu Yu's face. "Let me take a good look at this. Your mother has already signed it. You want to go back on your word now? No way!"

Liu Yu reached out and grabbed the agreement. Looking at the crooked signature on it, she could almost imagine how her mother was forced to sign it, and her eyes couldn't help but redden.

Xu Dong turned to look at the male assistant, "No need to check, move the machine away!"

The male assistant agreed and walked over to move the equipment.

Liu Yu was so angry that his chest kept heaving, his eyes were red, and he shouted sharply: "You are not allowed to take my things!"

Just as he was about to rush forward to stop her, Liu Xiuwen stumbled over and grabbed his arm, "Yu'er, forget it, forget it..."

They are two orphans and a widow, so they are no match for these two men. If they really fight, they will not get the upper hand.

Liu Yu watched them robbing her openly, tears streaming down her face. She only regretted that she was too young and too weak to outsmart them. What she had just said was just pretense, learned online. In reality, they had no money for a lawyer.

So we have to wait and see them snatch the material machine away? It's clearly something given to them!

Liu Yu held her mother's hand tightly and bit her lips so hard that blood oozed out of her lips. She was unwilling to give up!

Just as he was about to do something else, the woman in the baseball cap suddenly stepped forward and stopped the male assistant. "I'm afraid it's not good for you to bully people like this, right?"

The male assistant took one look at her logistics uniform, then immediately straightened his bent back and said angrily, "Mind your own business! They owe the CEO 20 million, and this material machine is used to pay off the debt!"

The woman adjusted the brim of her hat with her hand, and a hint of coldness lingered in her smiling voice. "Twenty million? Shouldn't that be two thousand yuan?"

The male assistant was stunned.

But the woman took out her cell phone, tapped the screen with her fingertips, and a familiar voice came out.

"Young Master, the replica has arrived and is already in the hotel room. It's two thousand dollars and looks almost identical. That idiot cleaning lady definitely can't tell the difference."

It's his own voice!

Then a more frivolous voice sounded. "Where's the real thing?" It was obviously Xu Dong asking.

"It went through a shell company. This is a bill. It's legal and compliant."

Then there was a burst of shrill laughter.

"Those poor bastards are worthy of using a material machine? That Sky Dome CEO really doesn't know how to run a business. Such high-end products shouldn't be sold to the poor. Yet, she's already involved in charity before her business has even taken off. I think her company will go bankrupt sooner or later—"

The sound stops here and the recording ends.

The male assistant's face turned pale, and Xu Dong was sweating profusely. "Where did you get this recording?!"

Who is this guy? How could a courier get hold of something like this? He clearly deleted all the surveillance footage.

Liu Yu was also stunned, and then she was ecstatic. That was great. The thing that this scumbag used to scam her mother was fake, so they didn't have to pay compensation.

Chi Li said slowly, "Instead of asking me where I got the recording, why not think about it first? You made a false claim and extorted nearly 20 million yuan. Shouldn't you spend a few years in jail?"

Xu Dong felt guilty and regretted his actions. He wished he had saved the money and bought fake goods. But the problem was that he hadn't taken over the family hotel yet and couldn't afford to squander 20 million!

Fortunately, his father has some connections, so it should be fine after some work.

Thinking of this, Xu Dong felt more confident. "Oh, who do you think you are? How dare you threaten me? Do you know who my father is? Be careful or I'll send someone to kill you!"

He suddenly walked forward and stretched out his hand to grab the woman's collar and intimidate her, but when his hand was halfway extended, the woman turned her wrist and a metal business card was pressed against his fingertips.

With a snap, the middle finger bone seemed to be broken.

Chi Li kindly slipped her business card between his fingers and said with a smile, "I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Zhou Fanyi, the philanthropic CEO of Sky Dome."

As she spoke, she pointed to the camera clipped to her collar and said, "It's a work recorder. Everything that just happened was recorded."

Xu Dong's facial features were distorted with pain and he wanted to scream again, but he was stunned when he heard these words.

Why did the CEO personally deliver the goods? And even record it all? Doesn't that mean he's doomed?

His father said he wanted to cooperate with Tianqiong, but he turned around and offended that person.

"Wait, Mr. Zhou, it's not what you see. I just, I just like your company's products so much that I acted on impulse!"

As he finished speaking, the sound of sirens came from outside the window, getting closer and closer.

Xu Dong's face turned pale, and he no longer had the arrogance he had just now. His knees gave way and he knelt on the ground. "I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Mr. Zhou, please let me go."

Then he went to beg Liu Xiuwen, "You can ask for any amount of money, and I can also arrange a job for you. Please don't pursue this matter. I really beg you."

Liu Yu remained indifferent and did not allow Liu Xiuwen to be soft-hearted.

The male assistant was watching from the side, sweating profusely. He was not a legal illiterate like Xu Dong. He knew that extortion of 20 million yuan alone was enough to sentence him to ten years, and as an accomplice, he would definitely go to jail as well.

He knelt down with a thud, "Mr. Xu forced me to do this, it's none of my business!"

Seeing him stabbing him in the back, Xu Dong was so angry that his lips trembled. He slapped him in the face with his backhand, "Say another word, kid!"

The male assistant covered his face and dared not speak.

Not long after, the police came to the door and arrested the two scum who came to rob openly.

Liu Yu didn't expect that things would take such a dramatic turn. The bad guys were put in jail, the material machine was left behind, and the president of Tianqiong even delivered the goods to them personally.

She was so happy and moved that tears streamed down her face and she couldn't say anything.

Liu Xiuwen held Chi Luo's hand and kept saying thank you, and even invited them to have dinner.

Chi Li smiled helplessly, "I still have two orders to deliver, so I won't stay long."

"This is my business card. If Ms. Liu still needs work, you can contact Tianqiong. Also, the video just now may be censored and released publicly. I wonder if it would be convenient for you two?"

The two nodded repeatedly, "Convenient! Convenient!"

Seeing Chi Li turning to leave, Liu Yu finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Boss Zhou, what major do I need to study to get a job at your company?"

Chi Qi paused and turned around, only to see the little girl with a serious expression and clear eyes full of nervousness.

She smiled gently and said, "Seriously, our company needs talents in physics, materials science, biology, and chemistry. Keep studying hard, and we look forward to having you join us in the future."

Liu Yu nodded heavily, "Got it, thank you, Mr. Zhou, I will work hard!"

Chi Li nodded slightly and turned to leave with another employee.

The next day, the footage was edited and censored by the propaganda department and posted online, causing an immediate outcry among netizens.
