Chapter 3096: Chapter 3098: Broadening Horizons

"There is indeed hope," Xu Wen said.

"If this keeps up, my dream of becoming a rich lady might really come true sooner than expected."

"Lin Yi, push a little harder and bring more business back; otherwise, Li Xin will put on airs again," Sun Qiang joked.

"Brother Qiang, saying that is a bit of an underestimation," Li Xin said carelessly.

"After all, I have several years of work experience; in this area, only the boss lady is slightly better than me, but I’m really not convinced by anyone else."

"Alright, alright, it doesn’t matter how much; as long as everyone puts in the effort, that’s fine."

Noticing a slight tension in Li Xin’s words, Xu Wen immediately changed the subject.

"Lin Yi is new here and isn’t very familiar with our outlet’s situation, but you two should be clear about my character. As long as you work diligently, I definitely won’t let you down. Now that the opportunity has come, let’s all work hard and aim to get into the top 20 in the district."

"No problem."

In fact, Lin Yi also picked up on the dissatisfaction in Li Xin’s tone.

If it was the old him, he might have felt upset, but now he felt nothing and could laugh it off.

He didn’t let it bother him at all.

Throwing the finished takeout into the trash, Li Xin casually lit a cigarette.

"Boss lady, I’m heading off now, aiming to seal this deal."

"Alright, go."

Li Xin strolled away leisurely, while Xu Wen shook her head and said softly to Lin Yi beside her,

"He’s just like that; don’t take him seriously."

"Do I look like someone so petty?"

"You’re indeed not petty, but your temper seems not that great."

"Is it because I hit that person that you think I have a bad temper?"

"Not really; have you forgotten about the argument with the driver last night?"

"The fault wasn’t with me, right? People like him should never be indulged, otherwise you’ll be on the losing end."

"I understand your reasoning, but the problem is, we need him," Xu Wen said.

"If he collects other people’s packages every day first, we might get off work half an hour later, or even longer."

"I get your point."

Lin Yi agreed, theoretically speaking, even if someone intentionally came late, there’s nothing you can do about it.

So it’s necessary to send some cigarettes occasionally to foster good relationships.

Lin Yi nodded, showing understanding of this matter.

This might just be the helplessness of those working at lower tiers.

Beep beep beep—

At this moment, a horn sounded outside.

The delivery truck arrived.

Lin Yi and Sun Qiang worked together, unloading the packages from the truck, then scanned them, updating the package information, and sorting the processed packages by category for ease of later delivery.

"What’s up with the recent packages? So many boxes are squashed, we even have to explain to the customers," Sun Qiang grumbled, expressing dissatisfaction with the courier transport.

"Just deliver them first; if there’s really a problem, it’s not our fault," Xu Wen said indifferently, since the responsibility wasn’t on them.

After about half an hour, all the packages were sorted out.

Lin Yi and Sun Qiang loaded the packages onto the tricycle, then rode to their designated areas.

On the road, Lin Yi dialed Qi Xianzhao’s number.

"Director Lin."

"How many packages does our group send out in a day?"

"Director Lin, are you really delivering packages now?" Qi Xianzhao asked with a laugh.

"He Yuanyuan told you, right."

"Yes."

"I’m just experiencing life out of boredom," Lin Yi also chuckled and said,

"Gather some statistics on how many packages our group sends out in a day."

"Got it."

After discussing business, Lin Yi hung up and prepared to deliver packages.

Lin Yi’s presence caught the attention of many women in the community; some even whispered among themselves.

The delivery process was smooth, and due to Lin Yi’s good looks, many homeowners were quite polite.

After delivering to the first two buildings, Lin Yi even received two bottles of mineral water and three apples; four women even asked for his contact details.

When delivering to the fourth building, a few middle-aged men and elderly grandpas were sitting by the unit door, playing chess and chatting.

And two idle women were holding dogs, discussing cosmetics and clothes.

"Look, that young guy is coming, doesn’t he look quite energetic?"

The woman speaking seemed around forty, holding a golden retriever, with a diamond ring on her hand, clearly showing that her family conditions were quite good.

"He is indeed quite handsome, and even more manly than those young celebrities,"

The short-haired woman sighed.

"Has delivering packages become so competitive now? Hiring someone that handsome, they must be paying quite a lot."

"This has nothing to do with competitiveness; with the current surplus of labor, having a job itself is a good thing, there’s nothing to be picky about."

"But I think this young guy is quite nice; many who consider themselves good-looking tend to latch onto rich women, but he’s diligent in delivering packages, which shows he’s a hardworking person," the short-haired woman praised.

"What? Are you interested in him?"

The long-haired woman with the golden retriever laughed and said,

"Your husband isn’t home often; you must be quite lonely. Want to get in touch?"

"Even though my husband isn’t home, I’m living with my mother-in-law—I can’t mess around," the short-haired woman said.

"But it’s you; your husband isn’t home often either, and you live alone, having all the right conditions."

"Don’t tempt me; I’m easily swayed,"𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Then what are you waiting for? Act while you can! If someone else snatches him up first, you’ll have nowhere to cry,"

"But the problem is, I’m already 40 this year; looking at him, he’s probably around 30, probably wouldn’t be interested in me."

"Don’t say that; the youngsters these days like people like us who understand everything and can do all sorts of things. As long as you give him a chance, with your figure and looks, you can have him in no time."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you’re making me a bit tempted,"

The long-haired woman with the golden retriever said,

"I’ll give it a try later to see if I can get his number."

"Can’t you two talk about something meaningful? How can you even fancy this kind of person?"

The man speaking was a middle-aged man, around 40, holding a cigarette in his mouth, playing chess with another person.

The short-haired woman showed a mischievous smile, gently nudging the long-haired woman with her shoulder.

"Your admirer doesn’t seem very happy,"

"Don’t talk nonsense, I couldn’t care less about him,"

With that, the long-haired woman rolled her eyes.

"He hasn’t done anything to you, it’s best not to speak ill of him behind his back,"

The middle-aged man chuckled, showing a hint of superiority on his face,

"I’m just telling the truth; couriers like them earn only a few thousand a month, not even enough to buy you dog food, far inferior compared to us."
