Chen Xue had not been managing this food delivery company for long when she encountered such a scene.
At first, she had a vague idea that it would be difficult to manage a group of grown men; she didn't expect that day to come so soon.
As for Gu Changsheng, he saw the team leaders as nothing special.
Heh.
They were seasoned tricksters.
They received their base pay without working, letting others fill in their performance targets, enjoying a carefree life.
Moreover, they were even more adept at understanding the effects of solidarity, forming cliques within the company and gradually amassing a small force. The previous owner felt the situation was too thorny and decided to sell the business.
Chen Xue looked at the blood and felt her scalp tingle; she couldn't forgive the escalation to violence and bloodshed.
"Everybody quiet down!"
A loud shout silenced the room immediately, and everyone turned to look at Chen Xue, waiting for her to handle the situation.
Chen Xue took a deep breath, "I don't care why you started fighting; first and foremost, being absent without cause yesterday and causing others to fall short in their overall performance—that is something that cannot be easily appeased."
"You have two choices..."
"One, pack up your things and leave now."
"Two, make up for yesterday's missed performance targets within today!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng laughed again.
This woman wasn't stupid; she knew not to provoke him and tried to persuade him with reason, finding an excuse to make him leave.
For ordinary people, making up for yesterday's performance plus the workload of today was virtually impossible; it was clear she had made up her mind to have him leave.
At this moment, the team leader with a mouthful of blood was still arrogantly laughing, saying to Chen Xue, "Mr. Chen, you might as well have him leave directly. Make up for the performance? He'd need to complete at least a hundred orders today to finish the tasks for both today and yesterday, so why bother? Just fire him."
Chen Xue didn't expect the team leader to bluntly expose her intentions, making it difficult for her to save face.
But his words were exactly what Gu Changsheng wished for, "Heh, and what if I do make up for it?"
"Make up for it? Don't delude yourself. If you can complete the task, I'll quit being team leader, and from then on, I'll follow your orders. I'll let you be the big brother."
Gu Changsheng glanced at him with contempt, "Be my subordinate? You're not worthy."
He didn't wait for a response.
Gu Changsheng went to punch in at the time clock and then said, "A hundred orders, it's settled then."
With that said,
he turned and walked away.
Inside, everyone was stunned, then burst into raucous laughter—
"A hundred orders? He must be dreaming!"
"This kid is really an idiot!"
"But how did he manage to beat A Biao today?"
Team leader A Biao glared, "Shut it, everyone. Clock in and get to work. I refuse to believe he can complete the task today. If he does, I'll do handstand walks!"
With that, a group of them set out.
Only Chen Xue was left behind, sighing helplessly, regretting her initial decision to take on the business. Not only did she have to pay the fees upstream, but she also had to chase after performance, relying on these rowdy men. But how could she, a woman, manage them?
She was filled with worry.
...
Elsewhere.
Gu Changsheng started out on his bike, with his phone mounted on the holder.
In his heart, there was a sense of excitement and impulse.
Of course, it wasn't about the so-called bet; even if he succeeded, it was unlikely that the other party would keep his promise, and a fight would be unavoidable. He was just eager to fully test the extent of his still-recovering strength.
Swish swish swish.
He began to take orders frantically, taking every task that appeared on the mission bar, regardless of the location, just tapping away.
With a quick glance, he combined the order needs of several places and then revved the throttle to the max, weaving in and out of traffic like a knife.
With Gu Changsheng's current nerve reaction speed, he could already ignore traffic conditions.
Picked up the first food delivery, a total of seven orders.
Headed to the first delivery location, the eighteenth floor of an office building.
It was rush hour; all four elevators were full and stopping at every floor.
Upon seeing the situation, Gu Changsheng gave up on the idea of taking the elevator, quietly moved to the emergency staircase, and as soon as the door closed, he sprinted upstairs with his Qi Force rising, kicking up dust in the stairwell, his figure appearing almost ethereal.
The eighteenth floor...
Arrived.
He pushed open the emergency door, his face unchanged, not out of breath, casually walked up to the reception desk, and set down the meal box. By the time he got back, the elevator had only reached the ninth floor.
Gu Changsheng smiled, "Not too bad, physical fitness and neural amplification greatly improved. I should exercise more to increase recovery speed..."
So...
All subsequent orders followed the same procedure; weaving through traffic, utilizing his extraordinary neural response speed without a moment's pause, while also cutting out the wait for the elevator.
The only thing that bothered him was the slow serving speed of some restaurants.
But even so.
By lunchtime, he had already completed more than seventy deliveries.
He took advantage of the lunchtime rush to make a final push.
...
Two-thirty in the afternoon.
On the 100th order, Gu Changsheng's electric bike had run out of power, but he wasn't in a hurry to recharge. Pedaling the bike, he slowly arrived at the last delivery location, Yun City Auto City.
Gu Changsheng, wearing a yellow vest, walked into a BMW 4S dealership.
It's true, the economic level of the people had improved, and there were quite a few buying cars.
Nowadays, BMW was no longer considered a top-tier brand. Of course, the value still depended on the model, but the mid-to-low-end series had already become accessible to average middle-class families.
Gu Changsheng was struck with a sudden inspiration, "Right, I should get Jiayi a new car. Her Volkswagen is almost scrapped, and I just happen to have a million in my card."
For his wife, Gu Changsheng was never stingy.
After taking a quick tour around the dealership, he carried the meal box to the service desk, "Hello, your meal."
The desk attendant, a pretty woman, took the meal and complained, "Why are you so slow? Did you walk here? Do you know how long I've been waiting?"
Gu Changsheng was taken aback. They were in the same service industry, after all—why the hostility?
Seeing that the girl was quite attractive, he didn't take it to heart and even took out his phone to check the time jokingly, "Mmm, fifteen minutes in total. By the rules, it's to be delivered within thirty minutes. I was actually twice as fast."
"Hey." The girl was not happy, "Are you getting cocky? Do you believe I'll give you a bad review?"
Gu Changsheng looked at her closely, "Are you sure? You want to give me a bad review?"
She scoffed, looking like she had the upper hand, "Yo, pretending to be ignorant with me? So what if I give you a bad review? Are you going to punch me? Let me tell you, as a delivery guy, you should look the part. Stop bugging me incessantly; you think you're in the right after a couple of complaints? I'm definitely giving you a bad review today!"
With that,
she picked up her phone and swiftly completed some operations, confirming the receipt and submitting her review.
Right after, Gu Changsheng's phone rang as well.
He checked it—
"You have received a one-star bad review from anonymous user 4384385438, base performance score -10 points."
10 points.
2 RMB per point, a total of 20 RMB gone.
It definitely wasn't about the money; the main issue was—
This bad feeling, it was unbearable.
Could just any riffraff pee on his head?
Was it just a bad review?
Haha...
Gu Changsheng smiled faintly and glanced at her, "Now, it's my turn."
