Chapter 3120 - 3112: A New Task
Chapter 3120: Chapter 3112: A New Task
Seeing Lin Yi standing at the door, Xu Wen felt instantly sober.
With her beautiful eyes wide open, she found it hard to believe.
"I know a shortcut, saved quite a lot of time."
"Stop kidding."
Xu Wen gave Lin Yi a playful punch.
"Did you run back?"
"How I got back doesn’t matter; what matters is that I’m back."
"Hmph."
Rolling her eyes at Lin Yi, Xu Wen took the keys to open the door, and Lin Yi followed her in.
Xu Wen’s home wasn’t large, about 70 square meters of usable space.
In Zhong Hai, having a small two-bedroom like this was quite cozy.
Though living alone, Xu Wen’s house was tidier than expected.
The only place that was somewhat messy was the sofa, where a pair of pants was casually thrown.
But before Lin Yi could observe more, Xu Wen hugged him tightly and offered her fragrant kiss.
Spurred by the alcohol, it seemed she forgot the world.
Lin Yi held her and brought her into the bedroom.
"That’s all for today..."
Xu Wen said, panting heavily, with a blush on her face, whether from the alcohol or embarrassment.
"Huh? That’s it?"
"I’ve got visitors."
"No way."
"I really didn’t expect so much to happen," Xu Wen looked at Lin Yi, "if not, we’ll find another way."
"Another way?"
Xu Wen glanced at Lin Yi, "Do you prefer standing or lying down?"
"Can we sit?"
"You’re so lazy." Xu Wen teased.
...
The next morning, both woke up groggy.
Woken by Xu Wen’s phone ringing.
"Hello?"
"Is this the sales manager of Koenigsegg? This is the Zone Office."
"I know, go ahead."
"Well, the merging process of the two outlets is almost complete. They’ll share one system from tomorrow and will be collectively called the Xinsheng Garden outlet."
"That’s great, thank you so much."
"Besides this, there’s one more thing to inform you about. Since your spot has a lot of packages, the zone will provide an exclusive vehicle to handle your freight alone."
"An exclusive vehicle?"
Xu Wen, excited, sat up from the bed, "Really?"
"Of course it’s real. Starting tonight, I’ll send you the driver’s contact later, and you can discuss the delivery times with them."
"Okay, okay, thank you."
The call didn’t last long, and Xu Wen hung up after the essentials were discussed.
Lin Yi sat up from the bed, "What’s happened?"
"Because there are a lot of packages from both spots, the zone decided to provide a dedicated vehicle for us. I didn’t expect such treatment; I thought they’d just lower the price."
"This is good news; you can leave work earlier now."
"Yeah, it will save a lot of time."
Xu Wen couldn’t suppress her excitement and looked at Lin Yi with bright eyes.
"You’re really my lucky star. Ever since you came, good things keep happening."
"Just for your performance yesterday, you deserve such treatment."
"Shut up, don’t talk nonsense."
Xu Wen replied, embarrassed.
"Get up quickly, we need to go to the shop."
"Alrighty."
"You’re responsible for our branch, I’ll take a look at the Peace Road side. It’ll be easier once we get on track."
"But that’s not a solution in the long run, is it?" Lin Yi said:
"Have you thought about merging the operations?"
"I have thought about it, but it doesn’t feel right." Xu Wen said:
"Here we have two areas, and residents from the community often come by the store. Moving to the Peace Road might inconvenience them—not by much, but still."
"But this way, you’d save on rent, and profits would increase significantly."
"That’s why I’m torn. My benefits versus the whole zone’s interests. After all, we rely on the zone, so we should prioritize their comfort."
"Don’t think too much. Consider your own interests first."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course. Self-interest first, or you’ll suffer for it."
"Alright then, I’ll listen to you." Xu Wen said:
"If the zone has any thoughts, I can always rent another shop."
"That’s the right way to think."
After tidying up a bit, they headed to the shop, diving into their respective tasks.
As for the deliveries, Xu Wen managed them, freeing Lin Yi from worry.
The delivery process proceeded smoothly, and by a little after six in the evening, everything was wrapped up. The courier truck arrived an hour early.
"Boss Xu sure is impressive, managing to merge two stores. Most men can’t match you." The driver complimented.
"Brother Li, don’t flatter me. It’s just good luck."
Xu Wen pulled two packs of cigarettes out of her purse. "I didn’t even get the chance to eat today, and I didn’t prepare anything for you. Please take these and enjoy."
"What’s this about? We’ve known each other for so long, no need for formalities."
"I don’t mean anything by it. It’s just two packs of cigarettes. Don’t make a fuss."
"That’s why you’re amazing. We can’t compete with you."
"Please, we’re all at your mercy. You decide when we leave work."
"Haha, you sure know how to talk."
They chatted and laughed for a while, and the parcels to be shipped were loaded onto the truck.
But just then, a system prompt echoed in Lin Yi’s mind.
[System Mission: Complete a long-haul delivery, reward: 200,000 master level driving skills points.]
Hearing the prompt, Lin Yi glanced at the system mission.
It was one of the few times he had two missions at the same time.
The task wasn’t particularly difficult, especially since the courier industry inherently involves transportation, providing plenty of opportunities.
The problem was, he was just a courier with many tasks waiting for him. How should he assume the role to accomplish this mission?
He needed to figure out a way.
"Ouch—"
At that moment, Lin Yi heard a scream. The driver missed a step when getting into the truck and fell to the ground.
Xu Wen rushed over to help the driver up, and Sun Qiang also came to assist.
"How are you, Old Li? Can you move?"
"No, no, be gentle. I think I hurt my back."
Hearing this, their expressions changed. If the driver’s back was injured, it could be a serious issue.
"Let me take a look."
Lin Yi stepped up to check, feeling around the driver’s back.
"It’s not too bad, but Brother Li should rest and go to the hospital for a check-up."
With this said, Lin Yi thought of the system mission.
He now had the opportunity to get involved in this job, an opportunity he must seize.
"I can drive too. I can take this shipment to the zone."
"That works. I’ll take him to the hospital, and you go deliver the goods. We can take care of both things. Keep in touch by phone if anything comes up."
"Alright."
