Chapter 693 Liang Xing's Story (Part 1)

On the busy street, a brightly colored electric car nimbly passed through the narrow gap between two cars side by side, and drove straight forward regardless of the curses from behind.

Not long after, a middle-aged man wearing a helmet and overalls got out of the car with his mobile phone and walked hurriedly. Sometimes he looked down at the navigation page on his mobile phone, and sometimes he looked up to look for his target among the layers of signs.

Finally, he saw the store he was looking for and hurried over.

"Takeaway No. 38!" The man reported the number to the store.

The little girl standing next to the takeout counter reached out and took a look at several packed takeout bags one by one:

"It's not done yet, just wait a little longer!"

"Okay, I'll come back later."

The man immediately clicked on another order and left in a hurry.

…

Liang Xing is a delivery boy.

He has been delivering food for nearly ten years, and like a living witness, he has watched the city develop and prosper little by little.

Seven o'clock in the morning was the time for Liang Xing to get up. He got up from the floor, spent five minutes washing up in a small space of less than ten square meters, then grabbed his work clothes and jacket and walked out with his mobile phone.

My daughter is now old enough to buy food and carry her schoolbag to school, so she doesn’t need to worry about it anymore. This is somewhat of a comfort.

"You have a new order!"

The food delivery app sounded a beep, and Liang Xing rode the electric bike like a motorcycle, riding at a fast pace.

Delivering food is not easy to do. Time is tight, the tasks are heavy, and the pay is low. When drone food delivery took off a few years ago, countless food delivery workers lost their jobs on the spot. Fortunately, the number of drones is not that large after all, and it also provides With this rare breathing space for live delivery workers, they can still have a way to make a living.

Liang Xing is an experienced rider. He drives an automatic order taker, and the mobile phone placed next to the handle of the electric bike dings all the way.

There are not many orders at this time in the morning. They are basically steamed buns, soy milk, milk tea and the like. The quantity is small, and if you put more in the insulated box, you can take more orders at the same time.

Liang Xingyi was very brave. He figured out the route according to the order in a short time. He was able to pick up three takeaways from one place. He put them neatly into the insulated box with quick eyes and quick hands. None of the takeout boxes were tilted. Spilled during delivery.

"Hey, hello, takeaway delivery guy, hey, hey, yes, you'll be downstairs in two minutes -

"Hello, can I leave this takeaway for you in the guard room? Okay.

"Please call the elevator - okay, I wish you a pleasant meal.

"Sorry, I clicked and accepted first. Well, okay, enjoy your meal."

A takeout order can only earn seven or eight payment points. The platform's reward and punishment system has always been strict. Every positive review will be given an extra payment point, and a negative review will be included as a warning. Once the time limit is exceeded, 60% of the delivery fee for the order will be deducted. For meal expenses, if you receive five negative reviews or have three orders overtime on the same day, you will be blocked by the platform for 24 hours as a penalty the next day, and you will lose a whole day's income.

As a veteran, Liang Xing is good at dealing with this kind of thing.

After all, the software takes into account the specific positioning and gives delivery staff the right to sign for delivery as long as they are close to the destination. Liang Xing has done it many times to sign for delivery and then deliver the food. He knows that not every one of the ten customers will be able to sign for delivery. Difficulty is just a takeaway order. Since most people have a good temper, there is nothing wrong with giving yourself a little convenience.

That's just a meal for you, I'm making money!

If you have money to order takeout, do you still care about this meal?

Liang Xing has mastered a lot of little tricks like this. Of course, most of the time, he will try his best to arrive within the specified time. After all, if he does a good job, he might even get a good review.

"Hello, the phone you dialed has been turned off, please call again later..."

"Fuck him?"

A familiar prompt sounded, and Liang Xing cursed.

They encounter many annoyances every day when delivering food, and being unable to contact customers is the most disgusting one.

He finished delivering another order first, and made a call when he had time during the period. When he got through, the person on the other end said "Huh?" and then told him, "I'm sorry, I made the mistake of writing my mobile phone number. This takeaway is for my friend." Yes, please call him!" Liang Xing saw it too much, so he could only curse inwardly, and followed the man to write down the new mobile phone number, and finally sent the order to the place.

In a situation like this, if the delivery person cannot contact anyone, he must not simply place the delivery somewhere and then take a photo and wait for the customer to pick it up, because the delivery will always be lost, taken by mistake, thrown away by mistake, or accidentally kicked by someone. If the customer comes to the platform to inquire about the situation, the platform will still put these problems on the delivery staff and ask them to go back and solve them.

"I already told you that I don't want coriander, why do I still add coriander!"

The disheveled customer in pajamas took one look at the takeaway and pouted. Liang Xing could only pretend not to hear, laughed and said the standard line of "I wish you a happy meal" and then turned and went downstairs. Waiting for him to get on the electric car, ding dong. With one sound, a new bad review has been given.

Damn it, the restaurant didn’t have the eyes to read the notes, so what does it have to do with us delivering takeaways!

Liang Xing cursed and continued to deliver the next order.

People are so irritating! We work so hard to get up early and stay late at night, but it’s almost eleven o’clock when someone orders takeout and we still haven’t gotten up yet! Hey, it’s true!

But that's fine. When my daughter graduates and makes a lot of money, she can sleep comfortably in a small apartment and order takeout when she has nothing to do.

Liang Xing quickly adjusted his mood and devoted himself to work.

Their job is typically busy and idle. Noon is the peak period for food delivery. If you are quick, you can get more than a dozen orders. The biggest part of the day's income is also here.

Liang Xing grabs more, delivers it quickly, and works two hours more every day than his peers. His monthly income is actually quite good.

Sometimes I think about him being a food delivery guy who can send his daughter to a local private middle school, and I feel that I am quite awesome.

Didn’t they say it all? If you can endure the hardships of study, you will suffer less hardships of life in the future.

Liang Xing was not very educated, so he firmly believed that educated people would live a more comfortable life, so he took his daughter to a big city no matter what.

Back then, that woman ran away with someone else not long after giving birth. She disliked him for smoking, drinking, and hitting and cursing others. But the child was only so big. It was so fucking mean to run away at will, but so what? He, Liang Xing, still brought up his daughter by himself! Who doesn't say something awesome?

Well, it would be better if he had a son, who could help him with some work.

Then I thought, forget it, it’s okay for me to be a daughter, it’s easy to get married. After I get a higher degree and find a good partner with a rich family, I can live a pretty good life without having to endure too much hardship.

"Xiaoxin Apartment? Which new one is this..."

Liang Xing muttered, he thought he knew this city well, but anything he didn't know must have been built later, and he was not as old as he was in experience.

He was unlucky today. Two customers insisted on signing for goods in advance. The platform received complaints and warned him that if he did this again, his account would be blocked for three days.

Little tricks didn't work. In order to make more money, Liang Xing received many orders at the same time, so he could only rush to the traffic lights and rush to deliver the orders.

He quickly arrived downstairs at Xiaoxin's apartment, and just then his phone dinged again. It was a function recently launched by the platform called forced order dispatch.

Forced order dispatch means that the platform will automatically search for takeaways who are close to the merchant and have taken orders automatically, and then forcibly throw the customer's order to them. This kind of unplanned order often disrupts Liang Xing's route and is easy to do. Delivery timed out.

"What bad luck!"

He rang the doorbell while cursing, but did not notice that the address on the order was 1301, and he rang 1303.

"Fuck you, are you deaf? You can't even hear the doorbell!"

Liang Xing had a doorbell and didn't want to waste extra phone bills, so he had no choice but to make phone calls.

"Takeaway!...Open the door! I've been ringing the doorbell for a long time!"

He looked anxiously at the declining orders of other times and said angrily.

The person on the other end of the phone responded with "Oh" several times, and the door clicked open. Liang Xing hurriedly walked in with the takeout and walked into the elevator.

But after waiting for a long time, the elevator didn't move at all.

He could only continue to call, but there was no signal near the elevator and he couldn't hear what was being said on the other side. In desperation, he could only go back outside and ring the doorbell.

After a lot of fussing, the man finally came down to pick up the takeout. Liang Xing complained impatiently to her, shouted bad luck, and quickly rode on his bicycle and stepped on the line to deliver the other order. He still kept a low voice on the remaining two orders. I just managed to get through by apologizing profusely to the guests and begging them not to complain.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you."

Fortunately, Liang Xing met all young girls who were very talkative. Compared with the procrastinating one just now, he couldn't help but sigh that the qualities of this person were really different.

He delivered food from about seven o'clock in the morning to one o'clock in the morning, taking advantage of others' rest time to grab a lot of orders before returning home.

"What time is it! Still not sleeping!"

As soon as Liang Xing entered the door, he saw that his daughter Liang Susu still had her eyes open.

"Dad, the teacher said that there will be a parent-teacher conference..."

said the daughter timidly.

"I told you I'm not free anymore, I have to work!"

Liang Xing was annoyed when he heard this. He was a food delivery guy sitting with a group of bosses. Isn't he embarrassed?

"Just study hard on your own and that's it. What are you going to do at the parents' meeting? Okay, go to bed now. You won't be able to go to school tomorrow!"

Liang Xing waved his hand and quickly slept with his clothes on.

The place where he and his daughter lived was very narrow, and it would have been nice to have an extra toilet and kitchen, but there was really no room for a bed, so he only bought a single folding bed for Liang Susu and made a floor bunk himself. Just make do with falling asleep.

The next morning he dressed again and went out.

Happy Lantern Festival.

In order to combine with current events (?), Comrade Yuan Xiao was officially entered into the character list.
