[NORTHWARD]
[Episode 22]
Radio Beijing,
Traffic Radio.
Sorry, there was a bit of a traffic jam.
Where are the employees?
We didn't dare to be idle even though you hadn't arrived.
You told us yourself that
even without subsidies,
you could increase the market share
to 50%.
We'll definitely fully cooperate
with such a good plan.
Therefore, before you arrived,
I'd already notified the chiefs of each station
and the managers of each business line
to come down there
and get ready to be lectured by you anytime.
If you have any thoughts,
you can tell us in advance.
We can discuss it internally first.
There's no need for discussion.
Before coming here,
we've already used big data
to do a convergence.
Starting tomorrow, we'll adjust the delivery time.
Each order's delivery time will be shortened by eight minutes.
After the adjustment,
the commission will increase.
I've calculated it.
The average commission per order can reach six yuan.
That's wishful thinking.
The profit of the food delivery business
is already very low,
yet he wants to increase the commission for delivery riders.
So I want to ask,
what money will the company be making?
I've already discussed this with
the technical department.
The delivery time will be adjusted from 50 minutes
to 42 minutes.
That's two minutes shorter than Yuntu's.
If everything goes as planned,
the order volume will increase significantly.
Even if we increase the commission for delivery riders,
the profit won't decrease.
Don't blame me for not telling you then.
The original 50-minute delivery time
was already wearing the riders out.
Now you want to compress it to 42 minutes.
If you really dare to do this,
it will cost lives.
You don't make the call here.
Let's hear everyone's opinion.
50 minutes changed to 42 minutes?
How could we possibly manage that?
Do they want us to die?
How can they do that?
This is pure bullying.
They're pushing us too far.
Exactly.
There's no justice at all.
Everyone.
Why should we work hard from dawn to dusk?
Everyone!
[Service Counter]
We all came to work in the food delivery industry
with the initial intention of making money, right?
Who doesn't want to make money?
But if we work like that, we'll risk our lives.
Who are we making all the money for then?
Right?
Yes, indeed.
Before,
for each order delivered,
the commission was 5.9 yuan.
If you take 30 to 40 orders a day,
you'll make a bit over 200 yuan per day.
That's only seven or eight thousand a month.
After paying rent, utilities,
and various other expenses,
everyone, calculate in your mind,
how much can you have left?
Is that enough?
After the adjustment,
the workload will definitely increase,
but once things get running smoothly,
I believe each of you
can earn over 10,000 yuan per month.
You can do the math yourselves.
I believe no one
would turn down more money, right?
That's true.
Who would go against money?
If we can earn over 10,000 a month,
even if it'll be a bit tiring, it's acceptable.
Besides,
the distribution station will change the way of settlement.
As soon as each order is delivered,
half of your commission will be deposited into your account.
The rest will be settled at the end of the month.
How much you've earned each day
can be easily checked on your phone.
From now on,
[Service Counter]
there won't be any more labor disputes.
If you're okay with this,
we'll implement it from now on.
Also,
I need a lot more delivery riders.
Please spread the word.
If any of your friends or family members want to work in food delivery,
tell them to come to Bee.
Let's all make money together.
Moreover,
the person with the highest delivery quota each month
will receive an additional 10,000 yuan cash bonus from the company.
Alright.
I won't keep you from making money any longer.
Hit the road!
Great!
[Kejing Garden]
Come in.
What's up?
Fenghua.
There's something I want to tell you.
I've been thinking about it,
and I believe I should tell you.
Go ahead.
You asked me
to have more heart-to-heart talks with everyone, right?
I did.
And today, they told me
there's a company trying to poach people everywhere.
Which company?
Bee.
They said it's a big company
with headquarters in Beijing.
They're offering higher salaries.
How much higher than ours?
They didn't say.
But it seems to me that
Liu is interested.
That can't be.
Liu was one of our first employees.
We've been through tough times together.
I'm not worried about his loyalty.
I'm just worried the pay difference might be too big.
Alright.
I see.
Keep a close eye on things these days,
especially on their methods.
Find out everything you can.
I'll do my best.
I'll be off then.
[Bee Delivery Xie Wanghe]
You just can't help bullying me, can you?
I'll beat you to death.
[Bee Delivery Xie Wanghe]
Hello.
Did you receive the lotus root?
Yes, I did.
Even though you sent it to me,
I don't have time to cook.
Just give some to Wanghe and the others.
You should invite Wanghe and the others over
for dinner and drinks more often, just like when you were kids.
How happy would that be.
They
are even busier than I am.
We rarely have the chance to meet up these days.
Well, um,
daughter,
listen.
Has Wanghe been promoted?
I heard from his father that
his monthly salary now
is over ten thousand.
For a top university graduate, earning over ten thousand is considered low.
How much do you earn per month now?
Why do you care?
Anyway, I'll give you a big red envelope when I come back home for the New Year.
Don't worry.
If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now.
Don't hang up yet.
You know Mr. Shao from our neighborhood, right?
He has a classmate in Beijing
whose son
is a graduate from a prestigious university.
Your mother and I have seen his photo.
That young man looks handsome.
Really handsome, I mean.
What did I tell you?
Fenghua is
developing her own career in Beijing now.
How could she have time for dating?
But she can't stay single forever.
She's not young anymore.
So what?
People nowadays value
women's independence and autonomy.
Women should have their own careers.
I think Fenghua has been doing pretty good
in Beijing these past couple of years.
She's never mentioned wanting to come back home.
Let's not hold her back.
What do you mean by holding her back?
Why is this holding her back?
Not getting married at this age is what's holding her back.
With your limited perspective,
if I hadn't been held back by you, old man,
I would have gone to Beijing too.
I could have ventured out like Fenghua does.
Maybe I'd be a rich lady by now.
I'd have a lot of money.
Not just money,
you've got issues too.
Everyone who left his or her hometown to work in Beijing
[Zhongguancun Station]
has imagined such a scene.
That is when your bank account gets credited,
[Delicious food delivery riders wanted Monthly salary over 10,000]
you can buy a car for your father,
a bracelet for your mother,
and clear out your girlfriend's shopping cart.
[High Salary] [More Work, More Pay] [Commission per Order]
Am I right?
Yes.
Why did we come to Beijing?
Because Beijing offers more opportunities.
Beijing can help us realize our dreams.
We all hope that one day,
we can settle down here,
establish our careers here,
[Delicious food delivery riders wanted Monthly salary over 10,000, no upper limit]
and achieve success here.
Do you want to be successful?
Yes.
Do you want to be successful?
Yes!
[Letter of Resignation]
Have you thought it through?
I'm sorry. If my family hadn't built a new house,
I wouldn't choose to quit no matter how much money they offer.
How much more do you need for the new house?
I can lend it to you, no problem.
No... No need.
So it's not about the money?
It is about the money. They're offering more.
How much more?
I'm asking you.
I think our small-scale operation
is bound to fail sooner or later.
Are you looking down on me
or yourself?
We may be poor,
and our scale may be small,
but we have more experience.
We're also more efficient at work.
Look at those companies that just grab money
and burn through it recklessly.
How many of them have gone bankrupt over the years?
Just last year, one company...
I'm sorry. Please take care.
Fenghua Express is recruiting couriers.
[Fenghua Express Recruiting Couriers]
Are you two interested, girls?
Hey, you two.
Want to be couriers?
No.
We offer competitive salaries and benefits.
We're sincerely recruiting couriers.
Hey, young man.
Interested in being a courier?
We have plenty of work but little hassle at our station.
Our conditions are unique in all of Haidian.
Your conditions are
pretty much the same as other companies.
We also provide lunch.
That's it?
Three meat dishes and one vegetable dish.
Why don't you give it more thought?
[Fenghua Express Recruiting Couriers]
We're not hiring delivery riders,
but dreamers.
Bee Group
[Delivery Riders Wanted]
is willing to give everyone a chance to realize their dreams.
As long as you're willing to work hard,
earning over 10,000 a month is not a dream.
Great!
Those who want to join Bee,
let's talk one by one.
[Delivery Riders Wanted]
Alright, give it to me. Give it to me.
No rush, no rush.
Alright. Come on.
Give it to me.
I finally get to treat you to a meal.
Couldn't you have picked a more proper restaurant?
How is this place not proper?
It's so down-to-earth.
Alright, alright.
Just eat more.
Eat until you're stuffed.
How many people did you recruit today?
Zero.
When it comes to recruiting,
you need to have some skills.
Just handing out flyers won't work.
No skills will work.
The wages we offer are too low.
We can't compete with you guys.
To grab market share, you have to burn some money.
Yuntu and Eat Well haven't been shy about burning money either, right?
Does your company plan to keep burning money like this?
We're burning the least amount of money.
This time, we don't want to compete on price.
So what are you competing on?
Speed.
We're significantly reducing delivery time
and increasing commissions.
Our delivery riders are all very hardworking.
How can you shorten delivery time?
There are many ways.
Based on the real-time location of delivery riders,
the system prioritizes orders by distance.
After accepting an order,
the system provides navigation
to avoid congested routes.
Doesn't that increase the speed?
That's so advanced.
Currently, it's only available in Haidian.
Other areas can't realize it yet.
But I feel that this alone
won't make it much faster.
There's more. The company will provide subsidies
for the riders to buy motorcycles.
The delivery speed will be faster.
All they need to do is get a driver's license.
Are you out of your mind?
Riding a motorcycle at that speed can be fatal.
It's just the initial idea.
Why are you so worked up?
You shouldn't even have such thoughts.
If you really do this,
don't say you know me anymore.
Alright. Alright.
Let's eat.
Eat more.
Is something on your mind?
No, why?
Then why do you look so worried?
You're not even paying attention to me,
just staring at your phone.
Is this about that mixed-race girl?
We've lost contact with her for years.
Everyone's worried about her.
Are you guys all secretly in love with her?
I'm certainly not.
What about Wanghe?
He...
He won't admit it.
So Fenghua likes Wanghe.
She won't admit it either.
You're all crazy.
Other people's youth is filled with passionate love,
but you guys
have all been bottling it up.
Aren't you afraid it'll make you sick?
You're right.
Are you still mad at me?
No, I'm not.
Then why aren't you talking?
I'm tired.
If you're tired, take a rest.
The competition among express delivery stations isn't as fierce now as before.
As if you've worked in express delivery before.
Every industry has its peak period.
The express delivery industry has passed its peak.
Staying stable is enough.
We're different.
We still need to grit our teeth and push forward.
In the end,
only a few companies will survive.
It's okay.
If your company fails,
I'll take you in.
Bah! God forbid.
I'm telling you, this time,
I'm putting everything on the line.
It's do or die.
In our senior year,
when you and Haikuo were doing ground promotion,
you said the same thing.
You lost everything,
but I didn't see you "die" then.
Although we lost money that time,
the boss saw my potential.
That's why I am where I am today.
So essentially, I didn't lose.
But Haikuo did lose.
He spent all that time and put in all that effort with you,
and got nothing out of it.
He almost missed his graduation defense.
Did he tell you that?
He's not the type to complain behind others' backs.
Even though he didn't say anything,
you should be aware of it.
When you make it big in the future,
these are all favors
you'll need to repay gradually.
Of course.
Besides Haikuo and
Xingchi,
I need to repay you as well.
You don't owe me anything.
There's no need to repay any favors.
I do owe you.
A lot.
For example?
Think about it carefully.
If you can't remember,
then let's pretend I don't owe you anything.
You're a big shot now.
It's good to have drive when starting a business,
but everything needs moderation.
You need to leave yourself a way out.
It's for your own good.
Got it.
Why are you even more nagging than my mom?
I'll call you auntie from now on.
Give it to me. I'm leaving.
Be careful.
Be safe.
[Zhongguancun Station]
I thought there was a burglar in the house.
When did you get here?
I just arrived.
I brought you some scallops.
I put them in the kitchen. Go cook them yourself.
I've already eaten.
You're in a bad mood, huh?
No.
Come on.
I know you too well.
What for?
Just those annoying things at the company.
I can't put up with it anymore.
Then don't put up with it.
Come work for me.
I just started working at the Haidian branch.
I'm short-staffed right now.
Xingchi is coming too.
Really?
He's finally willing to work earnestly?
Well, he's got to work.
At the beginning,
the salary won't be too high,
but there will be bonuses if you do well.
You'll definitely have to work harder,
but the income won't be lower than what you're making now.
What can a programmer like me do at a food delivery company?
Bro, there's a lot to do.
Food delivery also falls under the information and communication technology industry.
Don't worry.
Talent like yours won't go to waste.
Let me think about it.
Here's what you do.
Take two days off first.
Come and get a feel for my company.
If it feels all right, you can come.
If not, tell me
why, and I'll make adjustments.
If I can't adjust, you can go back to your company. Okay?
Come on.
So you're begging me?
Go open that nice bottle of wine.
Don't even think about touching my wine.
This is serious business.
Think it over carefully.
I'll go take a shower.
Why are you so stingy?
I'm watching you.
If you don't open it, I won't go.
When are you leaving?
In a few days.
By high-speed rail.
Here, this is for you.
This is from your dad. He asked me to give it to you.
I was busy the last couple of days and didn't get a chance to give it to you.
Your dad is quite worried about you.
[Ni Xiaozhou Bamboo Carving Art Museum]
He wants you to go back as soon as possible.
He's not worried about me.
He's just worried that I'll embarrass him if something happens to me in Beijing.
For the past two years,
I've been studying the sunken ship with him, right?
We spent quite a lot of time together.
Every time he got drunk, he'd talk about you.
What did he say?
He said you're smart,
and you learn everything very fast.
He also said
he deeply regretted not spending more time with you when you were in high school.
That's why you got so rebellious.
That's all nonsense.
I learned a new word recently,
called brainwashing.
You know?
He treats me and my mom the same way.
Don't you think it's despicable
to establish one's authority
by undermining others' confidence?
My mom is also like that.
I didn't listen to her back then
and went to Honghuai Normal University, right?
Now I've graduated, but I haven't found a proper job.
I didn't take the civil service exam either.
My mom feels it's really embarrassing.
She hasn't spoken to me in a long time.
So what do you do every day now?
I study the history and culture related to the canal.
Have you made any achievements?
Not much yet.
But recently, Grandpa Zhou and I have been studying that sunken ship,
and we've made some interesting discoveries.
Why are you studying that stuff?
Isn't that just a waste of time?
How is it a waste of time?
You know what?
The owner of that ship was an Italian.
He had a very interesting notebook.
Let me show you.
He had a group of followers.
The translator was called Xie Pingyao.
The porter was named Shao Changlai.
The captain's surname was Xia.
The sailor was called Zhou Yiyan.
The bodyguard's surname was Gu.
Don't you think that's quite a coincidence?
Xie, Shao, Xia, and Zhou.
After I get the original copy of the notebook tomorrow,
if I can find out
what that Italian's name was,
I can follow the clues all the way up.
Maybe their journey
will one day unravel the connections between our families,
and tie together these hundred-year-old threads.
Gosh.
It gives me goose bumps.
Right? And think about it.
Mr. Zhou has an Italian silver coin.
My grandfather has an Italian-made dagger.
Xie Wanghe's family has a wine flask.
It's also made of silver.
There's foreign writing on it.
T-There's a shoehorn in my house.
It also has foreign writing on it.
Fenghua's family has a
makeup mirror.
It also has foreign writing on it.
Y-You should check them all out.
No problem.
After I return, I'll go check them out.
If they all have Italian writing on them,
then we're on to something.
Now you don't think it's a waste of time, do you?
Oh my god.
If you can really connect all these families
together,
you'll be doing a great service.
I'll do my best.
Good luck. Good luck.
Be careful.
This was the only page that I didn't print clearly at the time.
Paul.
Paul. D.
A typical Italian name.
So what does the D stand for?
D...
That's hard to say.
But you can use the method of exhaustion
to trace all surnames that start with D.
Okay.
I remember he mentioned in his diary
a place named Verona.
Verona?
That makes it easier to search.
You can contact the local authorities in Verona
and ask them to help you with the research.
Yes, right.
Think about it.
In that era,
he was able to travel across the ocean
and afford so many attendants.
This indicates that he was
from a wealthy family there.
Italy's historical records of the nobility,
especially their family history, are relatively well-preserved.
I think it should be easy to trace.
Great.
I'll send an email
to the local cultural authorities when I get back.
Okay.
[Flower Street Boys]
Everyone.
I know you're all busy.
I'm heading back home.
Later, I'll start a WeChat public account
called "Chronicles of Flower Street".
The content will be about the canal and that sunken ship.
Please stay tuned.
-Mr. Zhou! Mr. Zhou! -Mr. Zhou!
Here.
Mr. Zhou!
Chen Rui has some news.
Really?
That Professor Su from Beijing
found the original copy of the notebook.
And Chen Rui found the ship owner's signature
on the cover of that original.
Paul. D.
Little Polo.
Right.
It's Little Polo.
This is great!
Now we know his real identity.
That makes things easier.
Chen Rui
has written to the Italian Ministry of Culture,
hoping to learn more.
If everything goes well,
it won't be long
before we know Little Polo's
entire life story.
Great. That's great.
Ah, Little Polo.
Your story
is about to surface.
That's wonderful.
Wonderful.
Be careful.
There's no need to be nervous.
Let me tell you.
Mr. Zhou is a very kind and genuine person.
You are such a nice and decent person.
There won't be any problem.
He might
just be a bit quiet.
If there's a lull in the conversation later,
[By the Canal]
you need to find a topic to talk about.
So what is he interested in?
Food, I suppose.
He's a famous master of Huaiyang cuisine.
He's been cooking his whole life.
He's well-known far and wide.
He even made it on TV a couple of years ago.
Is that so?
You've arrived.
Come on, let me introduce.
This is Mr. Zhou, Zhou Yanlin.
Hello.
Ms. Bian, right?
Yes.
Well...
Well... Well...
Well,
go inside.
Okay.
Let's go. Please, come in.
[By the Canal]
Alright. Alright.
So...
Ms. Bian,
have some tea.
Thank you.
Please, have some tea.
Ms. Bian, which high school are you teaching in?
No. 7 High School.
I teach Chinese.
Oh, you're a teacher of No. 7 High School?
My son graduated from No. 7 High School.
I've heard about that.
He's my junior.
Several years below me.
So you didn't teach him, did you?
When he graduated,
I was still in college.
I didn't get to teach him.
I heard you're a master of Huaiyang cuisine.
I'm no master, just a cook.
Well,
what do you usually like to eat?
Well,
I'm not picky about food.
Anything is fine.
I don't cook at home a lot.
When I'm hungry, I'll just go for some quick-frozen products. It's very convenient.
I've heard that chefs don't like to cook at home.
That's right.
We've already worked all day in the kitchen.
When we get home, we'd like to do nothing.
Me too.
After work,
I just want to go home
and spend the whole evening scrolling on my phone.
Our generation is particularly fond of staying at home.
Indeed.
You know what?
You're actually very similar to my son.
Really?
He's just like that.
Give him a computer,
and he won't leave the house for a month.
So does your son have a girlfriend?
No, I mean,
homebodies are usually single.
They've gotten used to and enjoy
the solitude of being single.
He's not single, actually.
But
I'm curious, do you think homebodies
would
want to get married?
No, they wouldn't.
They feel so free and happy being on their own.
Why would they want someone to control them?
Staying at home, eating snacks,
reading books, watching shows,
and browsing websites... Isn't that nice?
Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou.
Don't go in yet.
Boss Zhou is having a blind date in there.
I mean homebodies, not myself.
I know. I know.
What do you think these kids are thinking about all day?
Her appearance is pretty good.
Definitely.
But isn't she a bit too young?
Master Zhou doesn't look old either.
And he's successful in his career.
Besides, at his age,
he knows how to care for women.
There won't be any problem.
At first, they were quite distant,
but look how well they're chatting now.
Not bad. Not bad.
Right?
I'll be off then.
Alright, alright. Take care.
No need to walk me any further.
Goodbye.
Okay.
Alright, let's go.
How was it? How do you feel?
Pretty good.
When's the next date?
Next date...
We didn't set one.
You didn't?
We didn't.
I thought
you two were getting along quite well.
We did get along well.
But the problem is
she's from the same generation as Haikuo.
Boss Zhou.
Age isn't an issue.
The key is to be like-minded.
I think you two are quite suitable for each other.
Wanghe's mom.
You don't get to decide whether we're suitable or not.
I'm the one who decides.
Right? Alright, I'm getting to work.
Aren't they suitable?
[Fenghua Express]
What are you doing?
How dare you steal packages?
You want me to call the police?
So?
Who allowed you to deliver packages here?
Who approved you?
This is what you get for stealing my packages!
I've been fed up with it.
He's gone too far.
He actually stole my packages.
I rushed over and knocked him to the ground.
What a jerk!
Then he called a bunch of people there to help him.
They didn't even know who they were messing with.
[Fenghua Express]
How could I be afraid of them?
I'll beat him up every time I see him.
What a joke.
Enough.
There are so many packages waiting to be delivered. Stop crowding around.
Break it up. Break it up.
Alright, let's go.
Is he the one called Fourth Master?
Next time we'll ambush him.
Definitely.
We'll beat him up every time we see him.
We'll beat him up together.
You're still not hurting enough.
Let me handle this. You can get back to work.
Okay.
I-I-I'll do it myself.
Stay put.
It hurts.
Who started the fight?
They bullied us too badly.
Anyone would lose their temper seeing their attitude.
Exactly.
Shuntong really went too far.
Keyuan has always been our territory.
Who do they think they are?
Listen to yourself.
Territory? You think we're gangsters?
That's exactly what it is.
We've been swallowing our anger.
We've never messed with anyone,
yet they insisted on fighting us.
Once or twice is fine,
but it never ends. They think we're just pushovers.
That's right, Fenghua. They've been bullying us for a long time.
Yes. They've gone too far.
We can't let him off this time.
If the police hadn't come in time today
and prevented us from losing the packages, we'd be in big trouble.
I've dealt with Mr. Wei from Shuntong before.
He's alright.
He's exactly the one behind them.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have had the guts.
Alright.
I'll go meet him tomorrow.
[Sorting Area]
Shuntong's business is doing really well.
In less than half an hour,
they almost completed our daily volume.
It's all stolen business. Shameless.
Don't act like this later, okay?
We're here to negotiate,
not to pick a fight.
[Shuntong Express]
Mr. Wei.
Long time no see.
What?
You took a big loss yesterday,
and now you came to take revenge in person?
We're friends.
What revenge are you talking about?
If there's any misunderstanding, why don't we just clear it up?
Let's not waste each other's time when we could be making money.
Okay.
Go ahead.
I'm here today
to discuss with you
the business scope of our two companies.
I'm telling you.
We entered Keyuan Nanli first.
You didn't even give us a heads up
before barging in to steal our territory. Is that appropriate?
You're talking nonsense!
It was us who entered here first.
Who are you to talk?
[Shuntong Express]
Please calm down, Mr. Wei.
It doesn't matter who entered here first.
The business volume in this area is large enough
for both our companies to thrive.
There's no need to get so worked up.
There's no need.
Look, you've also been working in express delivery for a long time.
You should know the rules, right?
Territory is won with fists.
Whoever has the stronger fist calls the shots.
[Warehouse]
We're delivering packages,
not taking lives.
We're entrepreneurs,
[Warehouse]
not thugs.
Whether we're thugs or not,
let's find out, shall we?
Mr. Wei.
I've told you,
there's no reasoning with people like this.
This is company policy.
Mr. Xie demanded it this way.
If you have any objections, go talk to him.
If you have any complaints, go...
Enough, stop asking.
Hey.
When he changed the rules,
didn't you all applaud?
Why don't you ask Mr. Xie why he changed it?
What a commotion.
What's wrong?
Why are you making a scene here?
When he told you that,
you all joined in cheering, saying it was great.
Now you should ask Mr. Xie. You must...
Mr. Xie is here. Go ask him.
Mr. Xie. Mr. Xie.
Explain this.
Why did the fines increase along with the commissions?
Right, Mr. Xie.
We only make such little money a day.
With one fine,
we've worked half a day for nothing.
-That's right. -That's bullying.
There are so many of us
and so many families to be fed.
You can't be expecting to get rich
with these fines, right?
Exactly.
Everyone.
Everyone!
Please listen to me first!
Rewards and punishments go hand in hand.
They complement each other.
I've increased the commission,
but the premise is to arrive on time.
Did you manage to do that?
If you can't accept it,
let's not make any changes.
We'll stick to the previous delivery time and commission rates.
Do you want that?
Mr. Xie.
I think this blame
shouldn't be put on everyone.
Right?
Yes, that's right.
Don't be hasty!
Mr. Xie knows
why you couldn't deliver on time
better than anyone.
First,
we haven't signed any agreements
with the nearby restaurants, right?
That's right.
So the orders we can take
are all several kilometers away.
Second,
the navigation system
upgrade is full of bugs.
We can't take the blame for that, can we?
That's right.
Alright. How about this?
By the end of the month,
we will secure
all the neighborhoods within three kilometers to the east.
As for the system,
we'll also do a major upgrade as soon as possible.
We guarantee that before it goes live,
all faults will be eliminated.
In return,
I need you to promise me
to reduce the overtime rate to 5%.
Otherwise,
the penalties will continue to increase.
Mr. Xie!
I want to ask you a question on behalf of everyone.
If what you said
can't deliver, what then?
Exactly. Right.
Then I'll cancel the penalties.
If I can't do it,
I have no right to make things difficult for you.
Good, then it's a deal.
Let's all wait and see.
Let's give a big round of applause
to cheer on Mr. Xie.
Come on! Come on!
Alright, alright.
Everything has been made clear.
Get back to work.
Okay.
If there's anything you don't understand,
go ask Mr. Xie anytime.
Get to work.
Okay.
Don't be afraid of causing trouble for Mr. Xie.
Mr. Xie doesn't mind the trouble.
Get to work.
Thank you, Mr. Xie.
What was that guy's intention?
Sit.
Why did he sound like he was picking a fight?
Does he have a grudge against you?
He's a local boss.
He was in charge of this area before.
I suddenly parachuted in,
so it's understandable that he wants to give me a hard time.
Why bother talking to him then?
Just fire him.
He didn't make any mistake.
How can I just fire him?
Contradicting his leader face to face
and embarrassing you in front of the employees.
Isn't that considered a mistake?
I'd have given him a good slap if it were me.
Don't be reckless.
I was kidding.
I just heard him say
your system is full of glitches.
Didn't you test it before going live?
We did, but time was too tight.
We didn't develop this navigation system.
Every time the interface needs to be modified,
we have to wait for the developer's response.
There's not enough time.
What's your plan?
How should we divide the work among the three of us?
[Deliver][Pick up][Delay][Delivery is about to be delayed]
Xingchi, you're responsible for canvassing.
[Ruyi Wontons]
All the neighborhoods within three kilometers to the east
are assigned to you.
Haikuo.
You're in charge of testing the system,
finding bugs,
and reporting back immediately.
Canvassing?
How do I do that?
Canvassing means entering every door you see,
starting talking as soon as you enter,
and signing a contract as soon as you reach an agreement.
Use any method you want.
Let's talk on the phone anytime.
Thank you.
Goodbye.
We're from Bee Delivery.
We don't really need that. I'm sorry.
Let me leave you a contact number...
No need, no need.
Please feel free to call me anytime
if you're interested.
Fix the bugs in this program
as soon as possible after this.

Bro.
What's up?

Could you please fill out this questionnaire for me?
Alright, thank you.
[There have always been missing and wrong orders]
[There's always a delay at the back end after placing an order]
These three points are what we've summarized.
And these questionnaires.
These are just a few crucial points.
Our self-developed map needs to be done quickly. As soon as possible.
