Chapter 45

Relatively speaking, Ye Feng's efficiency was still quite high compared to other water delivery workers. The only shortcoming was his unfamiliarity with the routes.

By the morning, Ye Feng had already delivered twenty-five buckets of water.

At the same time, he had also earned 2 points of merit.

At noon, he found a street stall, had a simple lunch, and then hurriedly set off again.

The remaining fifteen buckets of water, except for two that needed to be delivered to a company at the intersection of Xi Hui District and Xia Pu District, were all concentrated in two adjacent residential areas, which saved Ye Feng a lot of time.

Two hours later, Ye Feng rode his semi-motorized tricycle, carrying the last two buckets of water, to a company called Ju An Property Management.

Ye Feng had heard of Ju An Property Management before. The property management company of the villa area where he used to live was Ju An Property Management. He vaguely remembered that the foreman, Du Lijun, had once mentioned that Ju An Property Management was the largest property management company in Mingzhu, managing the property of over a hundred high-end residential areas in the city. The big boss behind the company was the president of Ji Yun Group, Gu Jiyun, who was the boss who had fired Ye Feng from the construction site after hearing a single sentence from his daughter.

Ju An Property Management was just one of the subsidiaries of Ji Yun Group.

Ye Feng had never met this big boss, who was said to be one of the top figures in the country. The gap between them was too great. However, by a twist of fate, this wealthy boss had personally inspected a small landscaping project that he probably didn't even know about, and he had brought his somewhat arrogant daughter, as described by Du Lijun. He had then heard about Ye Feng's situation and subsequently ended Ye Feng's career at the construction site.

Now, on his first day of his new job, Ye Feng was delivering water to a subsidiary of his former employer, which couldn't help but make him sigh.

After parking his vehicle, he carried one bucket of water in each hand and, following the instructions on the delivery slip, went directly to the third-floor office of the property management company. He found the office staff and asked where the two buckets of water should be delivered.

The office staff informed Ye Feng that one bucket of water should be left in the office, and the other should be delivered to the company's finance department.

So, Ye Feng carried the empty bucket in one hand and the new bucket of water in the other, and went to the finance department, which was at the far end of the third floor.

However, just as he turned the corner, he saw two women in their thirties standing in front of the security door of the finance department. One was fat, and the other was thin. Both women looked worried, pacing back and forth and rubbing their hands.

Ye Feng walked over, placed the bucket of water on the ground, and asked the fat woman, "Sister, is this the finance department? I'm here to change the water."

Strangely, the woman seemed not to hear Ye Feng. She kept her head down, walking back and forth, lost in thought.

It was the thin woman who replied, "The door to our office is locked from the inside, and we can't get in. Just leave the water here, and we'll change it ourselves. We'll keep the empty bucket for you, and you can take it away next time you come."

Ye Feng nodded. He had read in the water delivery manual that this kind of situation was common. As long as the customer could get the water, he could usually leave and go.

Ye Feng placed the bucket of water on one side of the finance department's door. Just as he was about to leave, he heard someone inside the office. Listening more closely, he could indeed hear someone, and they were sobbing softly.

Ye Feng was puzzled. If there was someone inside, why did the woman say the door was locked?

So, Ye Feng asked the thin woman, "Sister, I can hear someone inside."

The thin woman's face immediately changed, and she exclaimed, "What did you say? There's someone inside? I can't hear anything." After saying this, she turned to the fat woman and said, "Sister Liu, could it be that the child is still inside?"

The fat woman's face turned pale, and she stammered, "It... it should... it should still be inside."

The thin woman became anxious, "Sister Liu, didn't Miss Gu take the child away? I thought Miss Gu had already taken the child. Why didn't you say anything earlier? If Miss Gu finds out, I... I can't even imagine what will happen. We'll definitely be fired."

Sister Liu's face turned even paler, and she stammered, "I... I... you were in the bathroom for a long time, and I suddenly had to go too. When I came back, the door was locked. Our keys were inside. Who would have thought that the child would lock the door in such a short time? I... I... I don't know what to do. I didn't dare tell Miss Gu. This time, I'm definitely finished."

The thin woman said anxiously, "Miss Gu is currently talking with Mr. Lu. It will be a while before she comes. We should call a locksmith right away. I'm worried that the child will be in trouble if she stays in there for too long. Her health is so fragile; she can't be left alone for a moment!"

"The finance department is a critical area. A locksmith won't dare to open the door without the company's approval," the fat woman replied.

The two women were talking back and forth, looking as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Ye Feng, standing to the side, was a bit confused. He used his spiritual sense to scan the room and found that there was indeed a girl inside, about six or seven years old, crying with tears streaming down her face. Her body was trembling violently, and she looked like she was having trouble breathing, with a very pale face.

Retracting his spiritual sense, Ye Feng felt that something was seriously wrong with the child. She was crying, but her voice was very low, and her face was pale. Her body was trembling violently, as if she had been severely frightened or had a sudden serious illness.

The thin woman's next words confirmed Ye Feng's suspicions.

"Sister Liu, we can't keep delaying. I think we should tell Miss Gu right away. If necessary, we can call the maintenance department or the security to forcibly open the security door. The child has a serious heart condition. If we delay too long, something serious might happen, and we won't be able to explain to Miss Gu."

Sister Liu paused for a moment and then said, "Alright, I'll go to Mr. Lu's office and bring Miss Gu over. This is a matter of life and death, and I can't think about anything else. If I get fired, so be it."

After saying this, the fat woman ran off quickly, her speed completely out of proportion to her figure.

The thin woman stomped her feet, feeling both anxious and agitated. Seeing that Ye Feng was still there, she couldn't help but shout, "Hey, why are you still here? You're just a water delivery guy."

Ye Feng understood her feelings and didn't take it to heart. He used his spiritual sense again and was shocked.

The little girl inside had collapsed on the ground, and her body was no longer trembling but convulsing. She was also foaming at the mouth.

Ye Feng was also anxious. Although he didn't know the child, he couldn't bear to watch a young life die.

He said urgently, "Sister, if the child really has a serious heart condition, she won't be able to hold on much longer. If you trust me, I can help you open the door right now, and we can take her to the hospital immediately."

The thin woman, clearly distrustful of this stranger, waved her hand and said, "This is none of your business. Just leave."

Ye Feng said, "Sister, the child can't wait any longer. If we don't find a way to open the door soon, it will be too late."

Ye Feng felt that he was overstepping, but since he had encountered this situation and it involved a little girl, he couldn't just walk away.

"Why are you causing trouble, water delivery guy? What do you want? This is a critical area of the company. Besides, do you even have the skills to open this security door? Leave now, or I'll call the security."

Ye Feng was frustrated and anxious, considering whether to break the door open regardless of the consequences. With his abilities, he could easily use his wall-penetrating skill to get inside and open the door, but there were people and cameras, so it was best not to use this method unless absolutely necessary.

With his current strength, Ye Feng could easily punch through the lock of the security door.

At that moment, a commotion was heard, and several people rushed over. The fastest and first to arrive was a young woman in her twenties, followed by the fat woman, Sister Liu, and a middle-aged man in his fifties.

The young woman rushed over, pounding on the security door and shouting, "Xiao Rou, Auntie is here. Don't be afraid. Auntie will get you out soon. Be good, okay? Don't be scared."

The woman looked very anxious, with tears streaming down her beautiful face, and her complexion was pale.

After pounding on the door for a while and getting no response from the little girl inside, the young woman turned to the middle-aged man behind her and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Call the security to break the door open. I'm telling you, Lu Tianshan, if anything happens to Xiao Rou, I'll shut down this branch and fire all of you."

The young woman's beautiful face was distorted with anger, her eyes blazing as she scanned everyone, finally stopping on Ye Feng. Seeing him in his water delivery uniform, she shouted, "What are you doing here, water delivery guy? Are you just here to watch? Get lost."

Ye Feng was annoyed by the woman's bad attitude but, considering the little girl in the finance department who was in danger, he didn't argue. He stepped forward and said loudly, "If we wait for the security to break the door, the child won't make it. Time is of the essence. If you don't want the child to die in there, step aside and let me open the door."
