The first thing Ji Fei did when she returned to the dormitory was to deal with the watch. She had been wearing this watch for a while, and suddenly taking it off was inconvenient. While she was thinking about how to solve this, she suddenly saw the eyeliner pencil in the makeup box.
“What are you doing?” Xu Ranran looked at Ji Fei in astonishment as she dismantled the watch dial and its cover with pliers. “Don’t you know the price of this watch? Why are you doing such crazy things?”
Ji Fei remained calm, but her hands kept moving: “I know.”
Xu Ranran almost went crazy: “You know what! Is it necessary to destroy this watch to deliver takeout?”
After Ji Fei finished everything and reinstalled the watch dial, she put it back on her hand and smiled coolly: “To perfectly blend into the identity of a delivery person this is necessary.”
The morning classes were in the West Building, with one theory and one practical. Behind the west building, the university has enclosed a few dozen acres of farmland for experiments. The rapeseed cultivated by the students has turned lush green and it will bloom in a few days.
Ji Fei came out of the field with mud on her feet. The rain a few days ago has made the farmland wet and muddy, and stepping into it would sink. After completing the new experiment, the mentor specifically asked everyone to stay and pull out the weeds in the field together.
In spring, weeds grow densely, and if it’s not pulled out the weeds will compete for nutrients with the new plants. So Ji Fei stayed in the field for half an hour, facing the soil with her back to the sky.
Xu Ranran popped up from behind her, lying on the ground weakly.
Ji Fei washed her hands and feet by the water channel. She took off her grass-stained hat and shook it clean with a wave of her hand.
Xu Ranran lay down for a while and asked her, “What’s the plan for the afternoon? Are we going to watch a movie?”
There are no classes in the afternoon. Ji Fei was about to speak, but Xu Ranran said, “Alright, I understand. You want to do the part-time job.”
It’s not surprising that Xu Ranran doesn’t understand. Ji Fei comes from a good family and is outstanding herself. She could easily go abroad for further studies, so why bother running around delivering takeout under the sun? It’s simply not worth the effort. Even if she wants to prepare for entering the company, there’s no need to go to such lengths, right?
As the proud daughter of a prestigious company, why would she choose to deliver takeout?
This question perplexes Xu Ranran every day.
But Ji Fei just smiled and brushed it off. She had just put on her shoes when her phone rang.
The message was from her mother.
[Mother: Feifei, your dad and I are near your university for a meeting. Let’s have a meal together.]
[Feifei’s thoughts: Okay!]
Ji Fei tidied herself up, put her straw hat back on, and said, “My parents are coming over, so I can’t have lunch with you.”
Xu Ranran weakly waved her hand and said, “Go ahead. It’s exactly 11 o’clock at noon.”
Ji Fei quickly changed into work clothes and rode her electric scooter towards the off-campus Chinese restaurant. There was a conspicuous thermal insulation box on her scooter, and the waiter mistook her for a customer picking up food, leading her to the kitchen several times.
Ji Fei helplessly said, “Sorry, I came here to eat.”
Ji Changqing and Bai Yu also looked over and waved for her to come over.
The waiter immediately felt embarrassed.
Ji Changqing didn’t hear their conversation because he was far away. When Ji Fei approached, he saw the clothes on her body and instinctively felt that something was off.
“Isn’t this the uniform for our platform’s delivery riders? What’s going on?”
Ji Fei sat opposite the two of them and took a deep breath. She said, “Dad, Mom, I want to tell you something. Please prepare yourselves mentally.”
She saw the two people opposite her sitting up straight involuntarily and said, “I’m going to be a rider.”
If it were someone else, they might not immediately understand what a “rider” is, but Ji Changqing and Bai Yu, who have been running a delivery company for so long, understood it instantly.
Ji Changqing almost slammed the table: “Nonsense!”
Bai Yu was also shocked: “Why? Aren’t you enjoying your life in college? Your family can afford to support you. Do you have to do this?”
They have only one precious daughter. In the past, they allowed her to give up playing the piano and go to the boxing gym to learn boxing because she convinced them it was for better self-protection. But why become a rider? It’s not good for a girl to be exposed to the sun and rain daily.
Bai Yu couldn’t even drink her coffee: “Driving outside is dangerous, and you’re not even familiar with the roads. What if…”
Ji Fei assured her. “Mom, I will use a map. And I have a driver’s license. Don’t worry, there is no danger.”
Ji Changqing still had a serious face: “Why exactly? Speak up.”
Ji Fei bit her lip, filled with determination: “If we want to dominate the market, we need to understand the capabilities of other platforms, especially Rice Ball. Relying solely on ordinary surveys won’t be effective. It’s better for me to personally experience and see why these two platforms are on par. Then we can take the best from both and do even better, attracting more users.”
Seeing that neither of them had expressed their opinions, Ji Fei continued: “I can also observe how our delivery riders provide their services while I’m there. Recently, there have been news reports about riders secretly eating customers’ food and harassing them. It’s time to clean up these people to prevent the platform’s reputation from declining.”
Ji Changqing remained silent for a long time as if contemplating. “Being there will allow you to hear more reliable information, so it’s feasible.”
Ji Fei’s eyes widened. “Dad, you agree?”
Ji Changqing nodded slowly. “But you must ensure your safety, especially in terms of transportation.”
Ji Fei was about to agree when her phone suddenly lit up. It was a message from the Big Appetite Platform system. Dear rider, the system will assign you a six-month order from Mr. Li. Please go to the merchant as soon as possible to pick up the meal and make the delivery. The settlement method is daily.
Ji Fei read the message and stood up excitedly: ‘Dad! I won!’
Ji Changqing looked puzzled: ‘What did you win?’
‘I don’t have time to explain. I’m going first!’ Ji Fei happily finished the remaining half cup of coffee in one gulp, not even wrinkling her brows at the bitterness of the coffee. Then she quickly left, riding her electric scooter.
She and Zhou Lu received the orders simultaneously, but in the end, Grandma Li chose her. Isn’t that winning?
Unexpectedly, Zhou Lu lost to her..!
Ji Fei was happy all the way. About to hum a song while picking up the meal, and then humming as she headed towards Chaoxia Road.
