Chapter 3117: Chapter 3109: They’re the People I Called Over

When a dozen people came over, Li Qingdong also got out of the car.

Seeing a dozen couriers running towards him, Li Qingdong was taken aback.

"What’s going on with you? Why aren’t you working and just standing outside?"

Li Qingdong’s expression softened significantly, no longer as overbearing as before, not seeing anyone in his eyes.

He now looked like an eggplant hit by frost, completely wilted.

After going back yesterday, he looked for his brother-in-law, Liu Wenlin.

Upon learning about the situation in the district, he finally realized the seriousness of the problem, which could even be described as catastrophic.

His store was not just sealed for half a month, it was much more than that.

The man named Lin Yi had a hidden identity behind him!

Even the head of the group treated him with utmost respect. He was definitely someone Li Qingdong couldn’t afford to offend.

Moreover, to sell a favor, the business would gradually transition into Xu Wen’s hands in the future, leaving him no way to stay in this industry.

Li Qingdong sighed secretly, his face full of bitterness and helplessness.

The only choice he had was to resign to fate, as he saw no opportunity to turn things around.

"Dong Bro, don’t worry. We’ll definitely help you vent this anger."

"Hmm? How will you help me vent the anger?"

"All the packages are piled up in the store. If we stop working, more and more packages will pile up and won’t be delivered for days. By then, the district will definitely come after them and then grant us unsealing."

"I guessed it; that woman named Xu Wen must be indecent, seducing district leaders, which is how she pulled this off. We absolutely can’t let her succeed."

For a moment, Li Qingdong was at a loss for words, not knowing how to explain to them.

Even though he had already lost miserably, he still wanted to keep some dignity.

"About this matter..."

Rumble —

Just as Li Qingdong was organizing his words, he suddenly heard the sound of electric bikes.

He saw a dozen couriers riding tricycles, stopping at the entrance of the distribution point.

This left the former couriers of Peace Road distribution point dumbfounded.

They had no idea what was going on.

Instinctively, they all looked towards Li Qingdong, hoping to find answers from him.

Being stared at by so many eyes made Li Qingdong uncomfortable, and he finally sighed helplessly.

"To be honest with you, it’s not just a simple half-month closure. The business will eventually transition to Xu Wen’s hands. I came today for a handover with her."

"What?!"

Hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded.

"How did it come to this? Don’t you have connections in the district?"

"But their connections are stronger than mine. Soon, I won’t be the owner of this store anymore." Li Qingdong said:

"As for you all, don’t take it too seriously. With their connections, even if not a single package is delivered, the district won’t care."

While speaking, Li Qingdong glanced at the couriers at the door and said:

"I reckon they are here to help. With so many people, it’ll take no time to finish delivering."

Upon hearing Li Qingdong’s words, the original people at the distribution point stood awkwardly in place, as if nails had grown under their feet.

They did this just to trap Xu Wen.

One is to pit her and get some extra bonuses for themselves, and secondly, to curry favor with Li Qingdong, hoping that once the distribution point was unsealed, their relationship would be stronger.

But they didn’t expect things to develop to this point.

The others had connections and could call in people to help, seemingly from other distribution points.

Once this period passed, they could recruit new people.

In other words, even if they quit, it wouldn’t affect them!

From top to bottom, the ones losing out the most are themselves!

"Anyway, we were once colleagues. What you did moved me, but it’s hard to find jobs now. You should go back; don’t cut off your livelihood." Li Qingdong advised.

"But this..."

"Don’t just stand there; go back quickly, or we’ll be eating northwest wind!"

"Let’s go, go, go! Head back quickly!"

Meanwhile, Lin Yi, with nothing else to do, wandered into the warehouse after settling everything.

Xu Wen was looking at the inventory inside, which were mostly tools commonly used in the store.

But most were packaging boxes and bags.

Upon entering, Xu Wen was tiptoeing to grab something from the top shelf.

The hem of her skirt was raised, and the long skirt clung to her due to the motion, accentuating her graceful figure.

Seemingly aware of someone behind her, Xu Wen stopped her actions and found Lin Yi standing there.

"Does it look good?"

"It’s indeed nice, but the skirt is too long," Lin Yi said solemnly.

"That’s easy to fix." Xu Wen faced Lin Yi, lifted her skirt, revealing both her thighs and calves.

"How about now? Should be better than before, right?"

"It would look even better if you lifted it a bit higher."

"Off you go, stop joking. We have work to do."

Lin Yi chuckled and didn’t continue.

"These things need to be handed over, right?"

"This morning, Li Qingdong called me, saying he’d come over later for the handover. I guess he knows what’s going on now."

"How was his attitude?"

"Pretty polite; it made me feel a bit unaccustomed," Xu Wen said with a smile:

"I guess you’ve tamed him, and he’s completely docile now."

"Not as exaggerated as you say."

"Sigh..." Xu Wen sighed and said:

"Actually, Li Qingdong’s matter doesn’t bother me much, but these packages are overwhelming. Combining the two stores, the workload is astonishing. It’s impossible to deliver them with so few people. If not finished today, tomorrow there’ll be just as many. Within three days, the district will be calling."

"Don’t worry, I’ve sorted all these matters out for you."

"Hmm?"

Xu Wen looked at Lin Yi, "How did you manage that? You didn’t ask your friends for help, did you?"

"I did call in some people, so you don’t have to worry."

"Better not. Your friends are all rich and influential; they definitely won’t handle delivery work. If they deliver wrongly, it’ll cause even more trouble."

Xu Wen walked up to Lin Yi, cupping his face, saying:

"But I appreciate your gesture, brother. I’ll figure this out myself."

"Are you sure you don’t need help?"

"Really don’t," Xu Wen said:

"Although the job isn’t technical, it can’t afford mistakes. I’ll think up an excuse when the district calls, and slowly resolve the remaining issues."

"Alright then, I won’t meddle unnecessarily."

Creak—

At this moment, the store’s door was pushed open.

Realizing someone had come in, Xu Wen thought it was Li Qingdong and turned to take a look.

Unexpectedly, she saw a dozen couriers in uniform coming in.

"Wha-What’s going on here?"

"They’re the people I called in."
