Chapter 3099: Chapter 3101: In Zhong Hai, Is There Really Anyone Who Dares to Show Off to You?
After being comforted by Lin Yi, Xu Wen calmed down quite a bit and felt much better, then drove back to the courier station.
"How did the talk go? Did you manage to get the business back?" Sun Qiang asked.
Xu Wen shook her head, "It’s impossible now, we’ll have to develop other customers."
"These people are so damn annoying, they can even do this kind of thing without any shame."
Sun Qiang is that typical honest person, whose thinking is still stuck in the most primitive stage, believing that everything requires some sentiment.
But in business rules, sentiment is the least valuable.
"Mercy doesn’t command soldiers, justice doesn’t run businesses," that’s the logic.
"Saying this now is useless, just do a good job at what we do." Xu Wen sighed and began to tally today’s data.
After a day’s work was done, all that was left was to wait for the truck to come, pick up today’s parcels, and they could call it a day.
But they waited until past eight in the evening, and the pickup truck still hadn’t arrived.
If this were any other day, they would have been off work by now.
"What’s going on? It’s this late and the truck’s still not here?"
Xu Wen frowned slightly. She had already noticed that today’s truck was arriving much later than usual, and not just a little late.
At least by an hour.
Subconsciously, Xu Wen glanced at Lin Yi.
The argument they had yesterday was definitely because of this.
"Old Sun, you have kids at home, you should go back first. The two of us can take care of this." Xu Wen said.
"No way, there’s so much work here, we can’t leave it all to little Lin Yi, that wouldn’t be fair to him."
"He’s strong as an ox, it’s no problem for him to work a bit more. Just go home, and if needed, tomorrow you stay back."
"Alright then."
Sun Qiang looked at Lin Yi, "Little Lin Yi, you stay today, I’ll cover for you tomorrow."
"It’s fine, it’s not like I have anything to do when I go back anyway."
"You two behave yourselves while you’re here, don’t fool around; there are cameras, you know, haha..."
"Get out of here."
Laughing and swearing, Xu Wen chased Sun Qiang away.
Although she didn’t think much of it before, after Sun Qiang’s comments, Xu Wen indeed found the atmosphere a bit strange.
"Is it because of me that the truck hasn’t come?"
"Don’t overthink it, it’s just a bit more waiting, it’ll be here soon."
Lin Yi didn’t say anything, sitting in a chair, with his legs crossed, in an extremely relaxed posture, looking towards the door.
Time ticked by second by second, until past nine in the evening, and the pickup truck still hadn’t arrived.
Even Xu Wen was losing patience, her expression turning sour.
"This is outrageous!"
Having lost business during the day, Xu Wen already felt a fire of frustration burning within her.
And now, even the pickup driver was making trouble for her.
Fuming, she picked up her phone and dialed.
"Zhang Dong, what’s going on? It’s already nine o’clock and you’re still not here."
Her tone unconsciously raised because of the anger bubbling inside her.
"Wait for it, not all the parcels are picked up yet."
Zhang Dong coldly replied and hung up without giving Xu Wen a chance to say more.
"Damn it, I really want to kick him!"
Xu Wen was so angry she cursed and kicked a nearby cardboard box to vent her frustration.
"Calm down, give me your phone."
"My phone."
Lin Yi nodded, "Yeah."
Xu Wen unlocked her phone and handed it to Lin Yi.
Finding the recent call log, Lin Yi called Zhang Dong back.
"I’m giving you ten minutes. If you’re not here by then, you can forget about this job."
Huh?
Xu Wen was taken aback. She didn’t expect Lin Yi to speak to Zhang Dong in such a tone.
She also understood that people Lin Yi’s age likely had bad tempers, but he had no authority to speak to Zhang Dong that way.
"You’re that punk from yesterday, aren’t you?" Zhang Dong recognized Lin Yi’s voice and sneered,
"Who do you think you are? I’ll be the last to come to your shop, let’s see what you can do about it."
This time, it was Lin Yi who hung up, not wanting to waste more words with Zhang Dong.
Xu Wen let out a bitter laugh; she had already anticipated this outcome.
"Keep waiting, it seems it’ll be a while before he arrives." Xu Wen sighed,
"Are you hungry? I’ll order some takeout."
"I’m not hungry."
Holding the phone, Lin Yi replied, then asked Qin Han to arrange for some people to come over and help take the parcels from the store themselves.
As for Zhang Dong’s issue, for Lin Yi, it was an easy fix, no difficulty at all.
The two of them waited idly in the store, Xu Wen consoled,
"Try to calm down, making a living is like this, it’s not always smooth sailing. If your temper continues like this, it won’t work out."
Lin Yi found it amusing, "Do I seem like someone so petty?"
"Not really, but your temper just seems not too good," Xu Wen said,
"When people arrive later, don’t show yourself, let me handle it."
"No need for them to come, I found another vehicle, it’ll be here soon."
"You found a car on your own?"
"Better to rely on oneself than on others."
"But the issue is, even if you get a vehicle and take the stuff yourself, the main office might not accept it, it’s not according to the rules."
"I can handle it, don’t worry."
"Are you sure you can fix it?"
"If I couldn’t, I wouldn’t be doing this."
About thirty minutes later, Qin Han and three others walked in from outside.
"Wow, haha, how’s the courier job? Can I call you when I need a package sent?"
"Lin Bro, you’re the best, women around you are always so strong," Liang Jinming said.
"Indeed, it’s Lin Bro, over all these years, he’s never missed a beat in this regard," Gao Zongyuan said.
All three of them knew Lin Yi had become a courier, so they weren’t surprised by the scene, they just teased more.
Watching the three of them come in, Xu Wen was stunned for quite a while.
Over the years, she’s met countless people.
Just by looking at how these three were dressed, you could tell they were wealthy individuals.
She never imagined Lin Yi would have such friends.
"Get lost, did you call for the car?"
"It’s parked outside," Qin Han said.
Lin Yi glanced at the parcels on the ground, "Get people to load the parcels onto the car and send them to the transit center."
Qin Han nodded and called the driver outside and the two people with him to start working.
"Lin Bro, what’s the situation here, isn’t there a designated person to do this kind of work? Why do you need to call a car?" Liang Jinming asked.
"Someone likes to act all high and mighty, not picking up parcels, so I had to get people myself."
"Really? Here in Zhong Hai, someone dares to act like this around you?"
"But right now, I’m just a courier, haha..."
"You sure have a good temper." Liang Jinming said.
"What’s so good about it? Just watch, that driver will soon regret it." Qin Han said.
"Alright, let’s not talk about it anymore, let’s help out, so we can go home earlier."
