The Beginning

Chapter 42: Undeliverable courier

Views:

You are a courier who has just started working, and your business scope is on both sides of Kejiao Road in the high-tech zone.

Today is your first day away from the leadership of the "master" and try to deliver the courier by yourself.

You are not a local, but you came to this city after retiring from the army. You are not used to the nine-to-five work life, and yearn for a free working atmosphere, so you chose to be a courier.

In the process of stepping on the route with the "master" to understand the environment, you are confident that you have already been very familiar with your business scope, and you know every building within the jurisdiction.

The area near Kejiao Road that you are in charge of is the first developed area in the high-tech zone. Most of the houses are very old. The community has no elevators, no property, and no security room. It is the nightmare of every courier.

But you are not afraid, you are a retired veteran, you think you are the best at enduring hardships, and you think you will definitely be able to make it to the end.

Early in the morning, you take the courier waiting for delivery and set off, and start to deliver one by one from north to south.

On the way, you passed by an early stand and bought some pancakes for breakfast, but after the express car drove out, you found a homeless old man on the side of the road, so you got out of the car and took the pancakes Gave it to the old man.

This directly leads to dizziness when you climb the stairs later, because many people do not agree to put the courier at the door or the security room, and insist on sending you to their home.

Most of those who don't want to go downstairs live on high floors.

Considering that you are on the job alone on the first day, you must never receive a call for complaints, so you gritted your teeth and sent several more.

There is a family on the top floor who is having breakfast when you arrive. Seeing the table full of buns and smelling the smell of meat, your stomach growls.

The little chubby kid in this family laughed out loud when he heard your stomach groan. Just when you were embarrassed about it, you saw the little chubby climbed up to the dining table quickly, took a big bun, and walked towards you .

But at the next moment, the hostess, who has already signed for the receipt, closed the door in front of you.

So you decide to wait and buy some meat buns.

You bought meat buns at the entrance of the nearby farmer’s market. The moment you ate the buns, you enjoyed it so much that you wanted to cry.

Woo woo woo, it smells so good.

It was past eleven o'clock when you ate the steamed stuffed bun. You don't know whether this steamed stuffed bun is "eat early for lunch" or "eat early for lunch". In the business of express delivery.

You start to pedal the courier car to the apartment on Seventh Street, which is known as "Programmer Street".

This area is populated by programmers who work in nearby technology companies. It is also the area where couriers in this area focus on delivering and receiving packages. It belongs to a relatively good apartment area. There are properties and elevators, and express delivery can also be temporarily stored.

The bad thing is that the security guards and property managers of these apartments always regard you as suspicious people. Every time the courier can’t go in casually, he has to squat in a small storage room and register at the property one by one which courier is which, which courier you want to deliver. If it is given to someone in any household, the name and phone number of the courier company must be left.

Each express delivery takes five minutes, and registration takes half an hour.

Seeing that you are a stranger, the real estate manager interrogated you for a long time like catching a thief, and even took a photo of your work ID before calling you in to make records.

You wrote for dozens of minutes, until your hands were sore, and finally registered and calculated all the courier items, started sorting, and called the owner who received the courier.

Some people said they got it and put you in the security room;

Some people say that expensive things cannot be kept in the security room, please come and deliver them in the afternoon;

Some simply couldn't get through the phone.

You leave the ones that can be delivered and put them on the side of the management room, take the ones that cannot be delivered, and start delivering them to the next community.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, you finally delivered most of the couriers in the community. At this time, your "master" called you and asked you to go back to the courier point immediately, and sorted out a new batch of couriers, which you need to send in the afternoon.

Your courier company requires delivery every two hours, so you drove the courier car back to the business point.

While helping to load the car, you hear a few colleagues chatting quietly.

They said that the community here began to install a cabinet that can temporarily store couriers, and you can send and receive couriers just by using a text message code. After this kind of cabinet is widely used, the company will definitely lay off employees on a large scale, and the commission income for receiving packages will also decrease.

Afraid of losing your job, you don’t even have time to take a sip of the water you’re worried about, put on a new courier, and start delivering items again.

There are more deliveries in the afternoon, your phone is dead, and some people hate you for waking up his/her nap, and complain about you.

You endured the grievance, accepted the criticism, and asked him/them to go downstairs to pick up the courier.

Finally, it's your turn to send a courier that shows the recipient is "Xiao Heyun".

This is a courier that you place with special care, because it says "the item is valuable, handle it with care, open the box face to face, and pick it up if there is no error".

The data showed that it contained valuable digital products, or a pay-on-delivery package.

You dialed Mr. Xiao Heyun's phone number, but found no one answered.

This is the situation that the courier is most afraid of. It doesn't matter if no one picks up the delivery, it is still a valuable item, and you must always be careful not to bump it.

After you finished delivering other couriers in this community, you called this Xiao Heyun again, but the other party still didn't answer.

At this time, you are sure that this courier cannot be delivered immediately, so you leave a text message to Mr. Xiao Heyun with a headache, hoping that he will contact you after reading the text message, and then take this courier and leave.

When it’s time to get off work, you’ve finished delivering the day’s deliveries, and you’re as tired as a dog.

You start to think that it would be nice to have that kind of storage cabinet, at least you won't wear out a pair of shoes every half a month.

Of course, the premise is that you are not among those who are laid off.

On your way back, you see a news story about a bus accident playing on a big screen outside the mall.

In the afternoon near the cross-river bridge in this city, a major traffic accident occurred in which a bus collided with an oil tanker and exploded, resulting in heavy casualties, which is regrettable.

You sighed about the horrible traffic situation, and thanked that you were not in charge of that area, so you drove the courier car back to the business site.

After handing over today's work, it is already 8 o'clock in the evening. The master is very angry that you did not continue to call Mr. "Xiao Heyun" and deliver the courier. He is worried that if the valuables inside are damaged during this period, the courier point will not be clear. .

You delivered the courier alone for a day, and now you feel very tired. After promising that you will be responsible for any damage to Mr. Xiao’s courier, the master let you go home from get off work.

You casually ate a bowl of beef noodles outside, returned to the basement where you rented, washed up briefly, and then fell asleep.

"""

At six o'clock the next morning, you are refreshed and ready to go to work after washing up.

This time, you finished your breakfast early before arriving at the company, ready to accept the package that was sorted to you today.

When you entered the door, you heard Lao Wang, who was squatting outside smoking a cigarette, on the phone, wondering whether your daughter should apply for Tsinghua University or Peking University.

You think Lao Wang must be driven crazy by his daughter's college entrance examination, because yesterday when you went to work, Lao Wang squatted at the door like this, worrying about exactly the same problem.

You entered the company, the master is very happy to see you come so early.

"Very good, the first day of independent work after the internship period, it is necessary to be so motivated!"

You are stunned, which means that you have worked alone for a day yesterday.

As a result, you saw that the master withdrew the expression of appreciation just now.

"Ah, the young man hasn't woken up yet?"

He said to you, "Do you want to wash your face?"

In a daze, you are directed to the bathroom to wash your face, and on the wall opposite the bathroom, you see the announcement of this month's assigned tasks and completed tasks.

Behind your "Song Budao" name, it shows that the number of express deliveries completed this month is 0.

You were furious, and ran out to argue with the team leader, because you had already completed the daily delivery of 150 pieces as stipulated by newcomers yesterday, and the number of deliveries completed this month should not be 0.

With a cold face, your team leader took out the schedule book that recorded your work yesterday, and threw it in front of you.

"Working with your master during the internship period is not considered performance. Today is your first day on the job. Where did you get 150?"

You took the dispatch book, and the last work record registered in the dispatch book was the day before yesterday, and the records of the whole day yesterday, including the two pick-ups at the point, are gone.

At first you are very angry, you think they are bullying the newcomers.

But you noticed that your master and your colleagues also have no record of yesterday.

You start to feel that something is wrong.

Seeing that you didn't speak, your team leader just looked through the pages and reminded you that it's time to go to work. If you still want this job, you should hurry up to load the car and get ready to go.

Suppressing the uneasiness in your heart, you loaded today's courier with the master.

Seeing the name on the courier, you start to get more and more scared.

You remember the owner of this "Baihuayuan" community, you remember that there is a fat little baby in that person's house, and you also remember the steamed buns in his house.

You remember the owner of this "Dahu New Village" community, he lives on the 7th floor, you are exhausted from climbing up the stairs, but he hesitates and refuses to open the door for you, forcing you to wait outside for five or six minutes.

You went crazy looking through today's assigned courier, and found that most of them were delivered yesterday, and the courier you were most worried about "Mr. Xiao Heyun" was not among them, because it was a delivery at noon. Pick up the express delivery.

You take a step back in dismay, and take a look at the date on your phone.

It's not today's date, but yesterday's date.

Unbelievable, you rushed to the courier's computer, checked the system date in the lower right corner, and found that the displayed time was still yesterday.

"Xiao Song, what are you doing?"

The co-workers at the courier point thought you were weird, and your master even grabbed you.

"Don't work, what are you running around?!"

You look at your master, and your heart is in a mess.

At this point, there are two options before you.

Ask for leave to go out quietly, or continue to deliver express delivery.

The author has something to say: In my original idea, the first-person pronoun was used for "the bus that never stops", and the second-person pronoun was used for "the express delivery that never arrived". change.

Why do you ask me to do this

Because it's fun ︿( ̄︶ ̄)︿.

I saw that many readers were worried about me. I wondered if I wrote this because I cared about the readers’ thoughts. My answer is, no. When I write books, I will respect and value readers’ opinions, but it does not mean that I like to write according to readers’ ideas. If I am a person who caters to the market, my brains will not be so “weird” and I will not have diabetes insipidus The old lady, like a man like Hua Mulan, will not give up her martial arts and go to write realistic, suspenseful, and workplace themes when I have already laid the foundation for the old sayings.

All my essays are written because I want to. I want to try various types, various possibilities, and see where my limit is.
