Chapter 254 The Life of Nobodies, To Go Or Stay?

Are You Hungry’s subsidy attack swept through the entire market.

Not only were higher-ups like Luo Feng and Xie Yan affected, everyone related to the companies on both sides seemed to be facing a choice.

That afternoon, Mao Rong, who had been idle for a long time, sent the last order in his hand and drove back to the familiar shop. He sat on a stool at the door to rest.

In the past, the delivery man would be the busiest at noon.

Sometimes, there were too many orders. From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., there was no time to even stop for a sip of water.

Even though Mao Rong was very busy, he felt very fulfilled.

In his early years, he was a foreign worker who came to the big city from a small town. He could only do odd jobs everywhere like duckweed because he did not have any special skills. He worked in this restaurant today, but he might change to a construction site tomorrow.

He was living a very difficult life.

Later on, he unintentionally heard from his workmate that Gather Sift Takeaway was recruiting delivery men. The benefits and treatment were not bad, so he gave up living on the construction site and became a delivery man.

Mao Rong had even received Luo Feng’s year-end bonus last year and walked around the stage because he was hardworking and could endure hardships.

He had never thought that the delivery man job would give him a life he had never had before. The income that he did not even dare to think about in the past was really heavy in his hands. It was so heavy that his heart felt at ease.

Mao Rong’s wandering heart seemed to have calmed down.

Every night after work, he pushed his electric scooter that was about to run out of battery. He fantasized about his life after saving enough money. He was indescribably satisfied.

However, recently, Mao Rong realized that something was wrong.

The orders for the past two days were decreasing, and there were more and more people wearing Are You Hungry’s blue uniform on the streets.

On Gather Sift Takeaway’s side, there were groups of three to five guarding the entrance of some shops. Some merchants would specially set up a few chairs at the entrance for the delivery man who was waiting for the order to rest as they were all familiar faces.

After Mao Rong sat for a while, a few people in Gather Sift Takeaway uniforms sat beside him too.

They were all delivery men from the same company and chatted smoothly even though they did not know each other’s names.

“Are You Hungry is recruiting people everywhere again?” One of them looked at the sky and sighed.

“So be it,” Mao Rong said casually. “Haven’t they been recruiting previously too?”

It was not the first time Are You Hungry was recruiting. Recently, they had been in the limelight, so it was not strange for them to recruit. Moreover, he had heard that many people from Gather Sift Takeaway had jumped ship from Are You Hungry because the benefits and treatment here were better.

“It’s different this time!” That person said mysteriously. “I heard from my friend that Are You Hungry has invested a lot this time! It’s very awesome!”

Another person said, “I heard that too. Are You Hungry’s takeout is free now. The delivery man over there orders every day. They aren’t able to handle it because there are too many orders! They are making so much money!”

“It’s that good?”

“How can what I said be fake? I have a friend who jumped ship from Are You Hungry. He’s back there now. I heard from him that he can’t finish sending orders in a day. Ten to twenty thousand yuan a month would be a small amount!”

That person’s voice was very agitated. The others fell silent as they listened.

Their daily salary was actually not bad. They could still earn seven to eight thousand yuan a month even though they did not have the Spring Festival subsidy and had more free time every day. This was much higher than doing other jobs.

However, they could still feel that the number of orders for Gather Sift Takeaway was decreasing. The number of blue uniforms rushing past on the street had increased. The employees at the bottom did not know about investing in stocks, but they could still sense that there were fewer orders in their hands.

“Is our company failing?”

“It’s hard to say. The other company is cash rich. Our boss might be generous but he’s still too young. He definitely doesn’t have that much money.”

“Why don’t we change places too?”

It was unknown who brought it up, but it was as if the secret bubble had been popped. The delivery man fell silent again. However, they could not hide the excitement in their eyes.

Mao Rong said nothing.

This was a notification from his phone. A new order had arrived.

He put on his hard helmet and left on his electric scooter.

The next day.

Mao Rong sat at the entrance of the same shop at the same time to rest.

It was very quiet today. Those familiar delivery men did not come here. Mao Rong felt that something was wrong and walked into the shop to ask the shop owner, “Boss, did the colleagues who were with me yesterday come to your place today?”

“Oh?” The boss’s first reaction was surprise when he saw the uniform on him. “You haven’t jumped ship yet?”

“What do you mean?”

“You still don’t know. They…” The boss glanced at the door and smiled. “They’re here. Take a look for yourself. I’m busy.”

Ding!

A notification sounded on the bar counter. “Are You Hungry’s order. The rider has arrived.

Please serve the meal as soon as possible.” Mao Rong turned around and saw that his colleague, who was wearing the same uniform as him yesterday, had changed into a blue uniform today. The two of them looked at each other, and the scene was a little awkward.

The man pursed his lips in embarrassment. “What a coincidence…”

“So soon? How’s it going on your side?” Mao Rong expressed his understanding.

As the saying went, it was in man’s nature to strive for better. It was not like they had signed a contract to sell themselves. It was human nature to choose better.

“Tiring! My commission for every order is lower than at Gather Sift Takeaway.” The other party sighed. “But there are really too many orders! I haven’t rested since I started work this morning. I didn’t even have time to eat.”

It was a good thing for the delivery man to be busy.

Mao Rong smiled faintly and said, “That’s good.” People like them were not afraid of being tired, but of not earning money even after working so hard.

“Oh right.” That person hesitated for a while and decided to say it. “Why don’t you come here too? Are You Hungry is really short of people!”

That person also had good intentions. When the delivery men gathered together to chat, they could tell that Mao Rong was a good person and everyone got along very well. Therefore, he wanted to persuade Mao Rong to come over.

Mao Rong thought for a moment and shook his head. “Forget it. I’m used to it here. It’s too troublesome to switch places.’ That person said anxiously, “But I heard that Gathering Sift is about to collapse! I heard from the people at Are You Hungry that they invested a lot of money this time to destroy Gathering Sift!”

“Forget it…”

“Aiya, why are you so stubborn!” That person tried to persuade him. “It is the best time to earn money at Are You Hungry now. It’s the best time to jump ship. When the Gathering Sift completely collapses, the discount might not be so big. It’s good for you to come over and earn more money.” That person was telling the truth.

Mao Rong said, “Then we’ll talk about it when Gathering Sift collapses. They gave me so much money. It’s really not appropriate for me to leave just like that.’ “Aiya, you’re really!” The man wanted to say more, but the shop owner had packed the food.

After chatting, that person had to continue working.

Before leaving, he took a few more glances at Mao Rong and left on his electric scooter without saying anything. Mao Rong walked to the entrance of the shop and sat on a stool at the door to rest with his eyes closed.
