Chapter 14: A World of Two

fining us before quitting."This we know, what worries us is that the boss might not agree to our resignation.""Our contract says so, if you want to resign, just apply a month in advance. If he disagre..."Mad Dog Fist I've never heard of it." Xiaoyue looked at Wang Lin with confusion.

Wang Lin smiled gently. "It's normal not to have heard of it. This fist technique is rather niche and frowned upon by those in the righteous path."

Xiaoyue let out a small "oh," and the room fell silent, save for Zhang Meng's steady snoring.

"Alright, I'm all packed up. Time for me to go!" Wang looked up at Xiaoyue. "Are you coming"

Xiaoyue didn't react at first, but then she thought of something and her face showed panic. "Let's go, of course we have to go, we can't stay here."

Where do you live If you're on my way, we could go together.

"Oh, I'm in Ziyun Community, what about you" Xiaoyue said nervously, her cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes darted back and forth as she looked at Wang Lin.

Wang Lin looked at Xia Yue's expression, and inexplicably a ripple arose in his heart.

Her facial features were exquisite, her face as bright as a silver platter, her eyes like water chestnuts, her lips red without rouge, and her eyebrows green without ink. Her three thousand strands of green hair were tied up in a ponytail, and her small, delicate nose stood straight like a jade bell.

Looking closely, Wang Lin had an urge to hold him in the palm of his hand and cherish him.

Xiao Yue saw Wang Lin remain silent, so she deliberately coughed. Wang Lin instantly snapped out of his reverie and stammered, "Oh oh, I'm in Ziyun District too, let's go together."

"Huh Really What a coincidence!" Xiaoyue jumped excitedly, her eyes sparkling like ripples on water and smiling into crescents.

Wang Lin was dumbfounded again. Xiaoyue felt embarrassed at this point and quickly walked out of the room. When she got to the department, she found that Wang Lin hadn't followed. She turned around and shouted, "Come on!"

Wang Lin jogged out of the department and found Xiaoyue waiting for him at the door. He hurried to Xiaoyue's face and said, "How did you come back"

Xiaoyue pointed to the electric scooter by the roadside. "Look, this is my little electric donkey."

Wang Lin looked at Xia Yue's small electric donkey, and suddenly patted his head, anxiously saying, "Oh my, my electric car is still parked on the bridge! I didn't even take the key out!"

After finishing his words, he took off running. Xiaoyue hurriedly ran towards her electric scooter, hopped on and chased after Wang Lin.

"Get in the car, we'll get there as fast as we can, hope it's still there." Xiaoyue rode her bike to Wang Lin's side and shouted anxiously.

Wang Lin was anxious at this time, and without further ado, he jumped into the back seat and urged, "Please hurry up."

Xiaoyue softly hummed an "mm" and slammed on the accelerator. The electric bike shot out like a bullet from its bow.

Just ten meters into the run, her little face was already flushed red. She had started too quickly and Wang Lin instinctively wrapped his arms around her waist. Feeling the warmth coming from his broad shoulders, she tensed up all over, her heart pounding like it was going to leap out of her chest.

Wang Lin also discovered this at this moment, quickly withdrawing his hands, his face also turning a bit red. This was the first woman of his generation he had hugged, and the strange feeling made him flush all over.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that just now. In a hurry, I instinctively hugged you. I'm really sorry."

Wang Lin's awkward explanation made Xia Yue both shy and angry, her face flushed even more. She wasn't sure if it was from embarrassment or anger. "This idiot has no emotional intelligence! Why does he have to make things so obvious! Isn't that even more embarrassing!"

She didn't know that Wang Lin had never spoken so much to another girl, nor had he ever been this close. At school, he was an isolated poor person who was ostracized by everyone.

Fellow classmates have stopped making fun of him and bullying him, but he's still burned incense hoping that his student life will be like in a television drama, with a white moonlight appearing. However, the higher his expectations, the greater his disappointment.

Growing up in this environment, he was still able to talk to Xiaoyue so much, which is already the result of his constant opening up over the past two years.

When he was working at the delivery service, he wouldn't say a few idle words all day, so everyone called him "Wood."

"No, it's nothing!" Xiaoyue, although embarrassed and angry, still awkwardly replied to Wang Lin.

To ease the awkwardness, Xiaoyue asked again, "How long have you lived in Ziyun Xiaoqu I've never seen you before"

"There might be a time conflict. I usually leave for work around 7 am and get home around 7 pm."

"Huh You've been working this long That must have been really hard!"

Xiaoyue was very surprised. At their age, people generally couldn't bear this kind of hardship. What's more, Wang Lin was a graduate of a key university.

"It's okay, I'm used to it. During peak season, the working hours are longer."

Wang Lin has always been unassuming, as if everything was natural. He started helping with chores at home from a young age. The saying "children from poor families learn to be responsible early" is very true.

Isn't it easy to be a delivery driver

Xiaoyue, in order to avoid further embarrassment, kept trying to make conversation. Wang Lin was very cooperative and answered all her questions.

"Delivering packages isn't difficult, but the hard part is dealing with all kinds of weird customers. People with weak mental resilience can't last a few days in this job."

"Oh How peculiar"

Wang Lin's words sparked Xia Yue's curiosity. At this point, Xia Yue had completely forgotten what had just happened.

For example, you're delivering a package somewhere, and a customer from another location calls and asks you to deliver to them first. They threaten to complain if you don't, but if you do, you have to come back here and deliver the original package again, wasting a lot of time.

For example, a customer might say they didn't hear the phone earlier and now demand immediate delivery, threatening to complain if it doesn't happen. While regular delivery personnel aren't afraid of complaints, customers seem to believe that complaining can force them to change their minds and serve them.

“He also said that he was on his way home and would be there soon, asking me to wait. As a result, he didn't arrive after half an hour. When I called him, he said I had to wait a little longer, he would be there soon. However, I waited another twenty minutes.”

“Someone said there was someone at home, so I sent it to the house. I carried it up the stairs, but no one was home. Then I called the customer and they said, 'Oh, I forgot. My family is out doing something right now. Just leave it at the station for now. I’ll pick it up when I get off work.' Later, they called me again and said that there would be someone at home tomorrow, so we could deliver it then.”

"I delivered a package for eight cents, to the station. The station would deduct five cents from it, so I would have three cents left. He then asked me to deliver it to his home as well."

"There are also those who buy refrigerated food. The first day, three calls were made in the morning, noon, and evening (either no answer or unanswered). No one was home... The second day, morning, noon, and evening... The third day... The fourth day, a complaint call was received, saying that their cherries, sausages, or frozen fish and meat hadn't been delivered for several days...."

“There was also someone who said their house was empty and they would be back after 10 pm. I said, wouldn't delivery guys go to sleep Couldn't it just be left at the door The customer said it definitely couldn't be left there, so I offered to deliver it the next day, but the customer said they would be back at the same time the next day. I suggested leaving it at a nearby station, but the customer refused, saying they didn't want to go that far.”

“Also, a customer said: I bought 10 parcels, why did I only receive 9 Me: order number… (struggling for half an hour to check, find, recall, and check the surveillance) Customer: oh oh, I remember, that one was received by a family member that day, found it!”

“There are many such things. Try to consider them from your own perspective, can you stand it Some people think that delivery drivers should provide service and just do this job. I treat every customer like a god for eighty cents every day. Sometimes, after putting yourself in their shoes, you can understand them, but sometimes you really can't.”

Xiaoyue fell silent. If it were her, she would have probably quit a long time ago. Her ability to handle pressure was a bit weak, and she would probably collapse if things got too tough.

Actually, most clients are really good. I've become friends with many of them. It's not easy being out and about, we just need to understand each other.

Xiao Yue nodded slightly, but still didn't speak. It was unknown what she was thinking about. Wang Lin also knew better than to say more.

"Your journey to enlightenment will surely be simple." Xiaoyue looked up and said seriously, "You've experienced so much hardship, your path has been rich with experiences. At the very least, before you reach the state of unity, there shouldn't be any obstacles that can stop you."

"I don't really know about this one. I know what Xīn Lù is, but what is Xīn Guān" Wang Lin asked in confusion.

"It's quite simple, cultivating one's inner path has no shortcuts. It requires experiencing enough hardship, but many people still cannot pass the final step of the inner path. This last step is like a barrier, standing firm in the heart of every breakthrough cultivator. Therefore, this final step is called the Heart Pass."

"I see. It seems I have to thank them for their training, after all." He said with a half-joking smile.

Then he asked again, "I don't know enough about the Seal Breakers yet. I need to learn more. Do you know of any ways I can do that"

"This is simple, there's a library here, you can go take a look when you have nothing to do. All the knowledge I know was learned there."

"Well, I'll definitely go take a look when I have time."

"Hey Is that your car"

Unbeknownst to them, the train had already reached the bridgehead. Xiao Yue, sitting in the front row, was the first to spot Wang Lin's electric scooter.t apprentice, would you"This time, it was Zhuge Pifu's turn to put on a pitiful expression. He sniffled and cried to Wang Lin, complaining."Brother, you wouldn't believe how hard our lives are! Our sm...
