Chapter 12,Part 1: Making Money
Lin Cheng took eight LPG tanks from the warehouse.
“These tanks are not light,” the warehouse manager reminded Lin Cheng, only thinking that he was inexperienced.
However, as soon as the manager finished speaking, Lin Cheng picked up two tanks of gas and walked towards the door without changing his expression.
After going back and forth four tis, Lin Cheng firmly fixed the eight gas tanks on the rear compartnt of the electric tricycle.
The station master had also co over from the side, and seeing Lin Cheng do this, he exchanged looks with the warehouse manager, their faces full of surprise. They had heard that the person who would co here to record the show was a singer, and they thought it should be soone who couldn’t lift their shoulders or lift their hands—have no strength at all.
At this ti, Wang Xi, sitting in front of the computer, was also surprised.
“Brother Chen Yu, Brother Cheng wasn’t a sports science student before, was he?” It seed he was the type that only looks thin wearing clothes but is actually fit and strong?
“How is that possible?” Chen Yu said, glancing at Wang Xi.
After thinking about it, Chen Yu said again, “I seem to have heard soone say that Lin Cheng graduated as a finance major.”
“Finance?!” Wang Xi and Zhou Qi’s eyes widened.
“Why did Brother Cheng go study finance?”
“That’s right, Brother Cheng debuted quite early, I thought Brother Cheng graduated as a music major.”
“Or acting, art or sothing,” Zhou Qi echoed.
“You’re asking , but how would I know?” Chen Yu muttered, shrugging.
Truth be told, he was equally puzzled about Lin Cheng’s choice of major in college.
The attention of the three people returned to the livestream page again.
At this ti, Lin Cheng had already set off on his tricycle.
Seeing Lin Cheng going west, a few words suddenly popped up on the barrage:
[Did he go in the wrong direction? ]
[I also noticed that the first user on the order list is in Huajiang City Garden, so he should go east.]
[Even celebrities should have basic common sense. ]
[That’s right, if he doesn’t know the way, doesn’t he know to look at the navigation or ask passers-by? ]
……
Just when the audience in the livestream channel posted questions one after another, thinking that Lin Cheng’s ‘job’ was going to be ssed up, they saw Lin Cheng driving the tricycle into a small alley.
[Tianlan District? Is this on the task list? ]
[It’s not, I’m sure of it.]
[Oh, I understand now! This is not a scheduled appointnt on the task list, this should be a newly reserved real-ti order! ]
Soone finally stumbled on the truth.
In addition to the schedule of deliveries he got from the distribution station, they also gave Lin Cheng a special app on his work phone on which he could receive real-ti orders.
[I see. ]
[But Lin Cheng hasn’t even finished delivering the 30 reserved orders, and now he started taking real-ti orders, wouldn’t that be bad? ]
[That’s right, at this rate, it is uncertain if he would be able to complete the task and get the guaranteed salary.]
Among the doubts, soone soon put forward a different idea: 【Could it be that he didn’t intend to complete the guarantee task? The addresses on the appointnt form are all over the city, delivering them one by one, I don’t know how long it will take to complete everything on the way. If you can’t complete the 30 tasks because of the distance and ti delay, it’s better to just deliver a real-ti order and get the extra money instead.]
[That makes sense. ]
[If this is the case, that would be a smart move. ]
……
Just as the audience was guessing Lin Cheng’s purpose, Lin Cheng has already finished delivering the real-ti order to the first custor and was rushing towards the second custor.
Then to the third, the fourth, the fifth…
Gradually, soone sumd up Lin Cheng’s delivery pattern—first of all, Lin Cheng didn’t deliver gas according to the order listed on the task list, but instead divided the orders according to geographic area and ti. Only the farthest household along the way was used as the endpoint. In the process, Lin Cheng will take tily orders within 200 ters of his route.
In this way, Lin Cheng’s gas delivery efficiency was indeed much higher. Within an hour, although Lin Cheng only completed 3 appointnt orders, he had already delivered 8 real-ti orders of liquefied petroleum gas.
“Brother Cheng is so smart!” Wang Xi exclaid in front of the computer.
Zhou Qi also nodded approvingly.
Staring at the livestream display, Chen Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When Lin Cheng was handed this job-orders list this morning, he sweated a lot for him in his heart, and he never expected it would be okay.
“But if Brother Cheng’s tasks go so smoothly, will there be less barrage discussion and highlights?” Zhou Qi asked worriedly.
On Day 1 after the livestream was launched, the most popular Bai Yulin attracted a large number of new fans in the livestream channel because of his dancing.
Actor Gao Yuankai also showed a lot of skills in repairing small appliances, flower arrangent, and cooking on the first day of recording the show.
Although the brat from Zheng Chenye’s family got a lot of attention because he was too spoiled, he still sohow created a buzz and beca a topic of conversation.
Even Duan Bei, the pretend ‘daddy’, turned tapioca pearls into dicinal jelly because of a work mistake and beca a hot search.
Only the group of Lin Cheng and Lin Momo behaved so normal that there was no bright spot or hype.
“Not necessarily,” Chen Yu murmured while staring at the number of people in the livestream channel.
Although Lin Cheng and Lin Momo’s performance was diocre, the number of people in the livestream channel was surprisingly stable, and has gradually increased to more than 20,000.
Chen Yu watched Lin Cheng who had already delivered a batch of LPG orders in the live broadcast room and was returning to the station to pick up another batch of gas tanks. He couldn’t help complaining in his heart: why didn’t he see this person show such focus when it ca to his own singing engagents…
If Lin Cheng had only shown a little willingness to improve over the years, his career wouldn’t be so muddled as it is now.
T/N: Google tells this is what an electric tricyle from China looks like. The other picture is from Thailand but it specifically delivers LPG tanks. Just so we’re all on the sa page as to what Lin Cheng is doing haha
