Damn it!
She thought she had managed to confuse him.
Unexpectedly, this kid still remembered.
She really hated the high-IQ children in novels, who were neither easy to fool nor fun to play with.
"You've taken so much money in advance, how can you slack off? Now that you've moved to such a big house, the rent must be very expensive. How will you be able to afford it in the future?" Su Yuyan lectured like an old cadre, with earnest persuasion.
Su Miao was about to retort with a helpless expression when she was interrupted by a loud voice.
"Su Miao, what are you doing here?"
The adult and child looked up simultaneously to see the short, chubby station manager brother, dressed in delivery clothes and holding takeout, standing in front of them.
"Didn't you promise me that you'd take some orders during meal times to help out the station?" The station manager said with a resigned tone. "And where did this kid beside you come from?"
He hoped she wasn't tricking a child to eat fried chicken.
After interacting with her for the past few days, he had already figured out her personality. Tricking a child to eat fried chicken was something she was capable of doing.
From his words, Su Yuyan instantly understood the identity of the person before him. He stood up and very formally extended his hand, "Hello, my name is Su Yuyan. I'm her... her son."
"You're Su Miao's son?" The station manager shook hands with Su Yuyan, smiling as he greeted him, "Hello, I'm Xia Zhoujian, the manager of your mom's food delivery rider team."
"Mr. Xia, nice to meet you," Su Yuyan politely exchanged pleasantries.
Xia Zhoujian looked at Su Yuyan with curiosity, "Nice to meet you too, young Su Yuyan."
He couldn't believe this child was actually Su Miao's son. How could someone as carefree and irresponsible as her have such a serious son? It was unbelievable.
Could it be that because the upper beam was too crooked, the lower beam was forced to be straight?
"From what you just said, she hasn't been working properly, is that right?" The small, fair face was filled with seriousness.
Xia Zhoujian was stunned for a moment, then quickly remembered that Su Miao had once mentioned that her son at home was very strict.
"Yes, your mom has been working for almost a week, but the number of orders she's taken hasn't even exceeded the number of days she's been on the job. She wanders around like a street urchin every day. You really need to keep her in line."
Su Miao: "???"
I'm the mother here, who's keeping who in line? Please come to your senses.
Su Yuyan looked at Su Miao with a stern face, just staring without saying a word.
Su Miao cleared her throat nervously, "Well, I think... to do food delivery, first you need to know the routes, right? I... um... I..."
Four eyes stared at her unblinkingly.
Go on, let's see how you explain this.
"I... I was familiarizing myself with the streets. It's okay to start slow, once I'm familiar, I can make rapid progress." After finishing, Su Miao nodded as if affirming herself, "That's right, that's how it is."
Xia Zhoujian chuckled, "Young Yuyan, don't be fooled by your mom. She's lying."
"Riders have fixed street areas. Your mom has wandered from the east of the city to the west, and then from the west to the south. The area she's 'familiarizing' herself with is way too big. She's lying to deceive us."
Su Miao: "..."
Can't you just pretend you didn't see through it?
"Manager, you must be mistaken. I didn't go that far," Su Miao stubbornly denied.
"I'm mistaken?" Xia Zhoujian took out his phone from his pocket. "Someone in the Rider Group Chat clearly took photos of you. With pictures as evidence, I'm not wrongly accusing you at all."
She was so attractive as a food delivery rider, she was bound to attract attention. Plus, she wasn't delivering any orders and was just wandering around the streets all day, making her even more conspicuous.
As a result, station managers from various districts kept asking whose rider she was, and he hadn't dared to admit it was his.
If the station managers from other districts found out she was under his supervision, who knows how they'd mock him.
Seeing the photos on Xia Zhoujian's phone, Su Miao was stunned for a few seconds.
There really were photos.
They were photos of her buying food at various snack streets.
Mainly because the food here was too delicious, she couldn't resist. She thought that since she became a rider and had nothing to do, she might as well eat her way through all the delicious food in the city first.
She didn't expect to be photographed. She had been careless.
"There's something like a Rider Group Chat, why didn't you add me to it?" Su Miao accused Xia Zhoujian.
Xia Zhoujian showed his phone screen to Su Yuyan, glancing at Su Miao, "This is the station managers' group. You can't join."
"So this is what you meant by saying you haven't had much appetite lately?" So she had been full from eating junk food outside.
Su Miao: "!!!"
This is bad.
"Your mom told you at home that she hasn't had much appetite lately?" Xia Zhoujian asked Su Yuyan.
"Mm-hmm."
"Your mom is lying again. She's been eating non-stop outside, all kinds of junk food." Xia Zhoujian put his phone back in his pocket and continued, "As food delivery riders, we know best how unhygienic those takeouts are, they're the most unhealthy."
"Your mom eats whatever is unhealthy, stuffing her mouth with salty, sweet, sour, and spicy foods. Especially those street stalls, your mom eats from them every day. You must keep a close eye on her. If she continues eating like this, her health will suffer."
Su Miao immediately became displeased, "That's going too far. It's one thing to manage my delivery work, but now you're even managing this?"
After being sick of eating feed in the apocalyptic world, now that she finally got to eat some delicious food, how could they forbid it?
That's too cruel.
With each sentence Xia Zhoujian spoke, Su Yuyan's little face darkened a shade, until Su Miao spoke up, and he could no longer hold back, "Su Miao, can't you be a bit more mature?"
Su Miao: "..."
Who's immature?
Xia Zhoujian: "..."
Young Su Yuyan is really domineering.
"Mr. Xia, please take down my number. If she doesn't work in the future or eats indiscriminately outside, just give me a call." Su Yuyan raised his arm, revealing a children's watch with cartoon patterns on his wrist.
This was bought by Su Miao, who said he could call her when he missed her at kindergarten.
He didn't agree with her aesthetic taste, but he couldn't resist her constant pleading, so he had to wear it.
"That's a great idea." Xia Zhoujian cheerfully took out his phone again.
Seeing this, Su Miao quickly tried to stop them, "No, this is not allowed."
How could she let them exchange contact information? If Xia Zhoujian really got this little Su Yuyan's phone number, she would be done for.
Her wonderful life would be completely over.
"Why not?" Xia Zhoujian asked.
"I'm afraid you'll be a bad influence on my son, and he's still a young child. He needs to go to school, and you'll disturb his studies," Su Miao quickly found an excuse.
Xia Zhoujian paused.
It sounded somewhat reasonable.
Su Yuyan glanced at Su Miao, his tightly pressed little mouth curving into a rare small smile. "Mr. Xia, don't listen to her. You can call me when I'm out of school."
Xia Zhoujian suddenly realized he had almost been fooled by Su Miao.
Su Miao: "..."
Su Miao watched resentfully as the two exchanged phone numbers, thinking bitterly to herself that she would smash her son's children's smartwatch tonight.
