Four Seas Street.
This was a famous restaurant street in Shanghai. Delicacies from all over the world could be found on this street, hence the name.
This street was also the base of Liu Qing and his group of delivery riders. Before 10 am, if there were not many orders to be delivered, everyone would stay here and wait for the arrival of the peak order period at noon.
"Tree roots." After sending his daughter to school, Liu Qing rode his motorcycle and stopped beside a small electric donkey. He greeted the young man who was sitting on it with his head lowered and playing with his phone.
"Hey, Brother Liu, you're here." When Li Shugen heard someone calling him, he quickly raised his head and responded to Liu Qing with a smile.
"Yes." Liu Qing nodded and looked around. He asked with some doubt,"Brother Zhao, Brother Yang, Monkey, and the others. Why haven't I seen them? Could it be that they all went to deliver the bill?”
Liu Qing's team had nearly 10 people in this area. Usually, when everyone was not busy, they would gather here. However, other than him and Tree Root, no one else was here. This made Liu Qing feel a little strange.
"Hey, why are you still giving me the bill, Brother Liu?”Li Shugen sighed and explained,""Brother Zhao, Brother Yang, Monkey and the rest have all resigned today.”
"What is it? Resign?" When Liu Qing heard that, he was shocked. Everyone was fine yesterday, so why did they suddenly resign today?
"Brother Liu, didn't you see the news in the work group last night? Where did you go?" Li Shugen asked when he saw Liu Qing's confused expression.
Then, Li Shugen slowly explained," Brother Zhao, Brother Yang, Brother Monkey, and the rest have all resigned. It's all because after we received our salaries in the middle of this month, our salaries began to be adjusted. Not only did our bonuses disappear, but our commission for each order also decreased. Therefore, everyone felt that they could not continue working and resigned.”
" What? Our wages are going to be lowered?" Liu Qing's expression changed drastically after hearing the root's explanation. Why didn't he know anything about it?
"Hey, this notice was sent to our work group by the station chief last night to let everyone be mentally prepared.”"Brother Liu, you'll know when you see it," said Li Shugen.”
As for the stationmaster, he was similar to the store manager.
After Liu Qing heard this, he quickly took out his phone and opened the work group. He looked at the historical news and saw the notification message sent by the stationmaster last night.
Looking closely, as expected, not only was the monthly bonus gone, but the commission for each order was also reduced by a lot.
Although Liu Qing graduated from high school, he was still good at mathematics. He did a simple calculation. He ran 1,200 to 1,500 jobs every month. If he ran more than 800 jobs, he would get a commission of 7 to 8 yuan per job. His base salary was 2000 yuan, and his reward was 500 yuan. He would earn 10,000 yuan and 20,000 yuan a month.
After the salary adjustment, the commission for 800 and above orders was 6 yuan, and the bonus of 500 yuan was gone. It was equivalent to losing 2000 yuan of income every month.
After a simple calculation, Liu Qing finally knew why everyone resigned. After all, they were losing one to two thousand yuan a month.
"So, Brother Liu, will you resign?”Li Shugen looked at Liu Qing and said.
"Why are you resigning?”Liu Qing replied," Isn't there still more than a week before the salary is paid? Let's fill it up first."”
This was because Liu Qing had also considered it earlier, but he still decided to work until the end of the month. After all, the biggest advantage of this job was the high degree of freedom. It was convenient for Liu Qing to take care of his daughter. Moreover, he worked hard. If he was not afraid of hard work, the salary would be fine!
"But you, Tree Root, why didn't you go with them?”Liu Qing asked.
"Brother Liu, it's not like you don't know that I'm stupid. I didn't even graduate from primary school, and the requirements for other jobs are high. If I changed jobs, I would still be doing something similar. Moreover, now that everyone has run away, maybe the company won't lower my salary.”
Li Shugen explained with a silly smile.
"Hehe, who said you're stupid? You're quite smart!”Liu Qing praised after hearing Li Shugen's explanation.
"Alright, Tree Root, let's not talk about it anymore. We have to get busy.”Liu Qing looked at the time and said.
"Yes." Li Shugen nodded.
Then, Liu Qing and Li Shugen began to take orders and got busy.
……
It had been raining heavily last night, and the sun was still shining brightly today.
2 PM.
By the roadside, under a big tree, a vendor was dragging a cart of watermelons and selling them with all his might."Watermelon, watermelon, this is a big watermelon produced at the foot of the Heavenly Territory's Flaming Mountain. It's not sweet and doesn't cost money. Don't miss it when you pass by.”
Liu Qing happened to pass by after delivering the takeout. When he heard the vendor's cries, he suddenly remembered that his daughter wanted to eat watermelon. He quickly braked and turned the car around to stop in front of the vendor.
"Hey, boss, how much is this watermelon?”Liu Qing asked as he looked at the huge emerald watermelons on the truck.
The stall owner was a middle-aged man in his thirties. When he saw that there was business, he was excited and quickly introduced with a smile,"Little brother, my watermelon was transported from the Heavenly Territory's Flaming Mountain. It's sweet and the price is 10 yuan per catty.”
"Ten yuan? That's expensive?" "When did watermelons start selling at this price?" Liu Qing asked in surprise.”
"Hey, little brother." The watermelon stall owner quickly explained," Didn't I just say that this is produced in Tianjiang? The taste is much better than the watermelons produced in other places. If you don't believe me, you can try it."”
As he spoke, the stall owner quickly cut a piece of watermelon and handed it to Liu Qing.
"Yes, it's indeed very sweet and delicious.”Liu Qing nodded after tasting a few mouthfuls.
Then, Liu Qing changed the topic and said," But, boss, your watermelon is still a little expensive. Are you selling it for 8 yuan? If you're selling it, I'll buy a bigger one."”
"Sell it. Sell it." The watermelon stall owner quickly replied," I see that you're sincere about buying it. I'll sell it to you for eight yuan. Just treat it as making friends."”
Of course, Liu Qing also knew the reason. After all, it was summer. At this time, everyone was hiding in the house and enjoying the air conditioner. Who would come out to buy watermelons? Therefore, the stall owner was also selling as many watermelons as he could.
"56 yuan. Little brother, do you want to pay in cash or by phone?”
"Weixin Pay!"
In the end, Liu Qing chose a big watermelon weighing seven pounds, paid for it on WeChat, and then rode away.
However, after riding for a short distance, Liu Qing found a place where no one was around and stopped. Then, with a thought, he quickly put the watermelon he had just bought into his Dimensional Pocket.
After all, he had to continue working in the afternoon. It was not appropriate to keep it in the takeaway box.
Then, Liu Qing continued to work.
……
7 PM.
In the rented apartment.
Not long after Liu Qing and his daughter finished dinner, their daughter, Liu Xin, clamored to eat watermelon.
"Papa, where's the watermelon you bought? I want to eat watermelon." "Daddy, I want to eat watermelon," Liu Xin said coquettishly as she pestered Liu Qing.”
"Okay, okay. Wait here. Daddy will get it for you.”Liu Qing said.
Liu Qing had no choice but to enter the kitchen. With a thought, he entered the space in a flash.
However, after entering the space, Liu Qing was stunned by the scene in front of him."Where did my watermelon go?"
