Chapter 128 - Yingnü Also Wants a Job
At a roadside stall, Xia Nuanyang sat on a small stool and waved enthusiastically at Yingnü, who was standing not far away.
Yingnü spotted her, walked straight over, and sat down in front of her.
“Boss, two orders of stir-fried rice noodles, please. Not spicy~”
After Yingnü sat down, Xia Nuanyang turned her head and ordered from the stall owner.
The owner replied. The planetary engine roared to life, and with the clang clang of the spatula against the iron wok, the rice noodles were tossed and stir-fried over a blazing flame.
“I didn't expect you to contact me, Little Ying. Is something the matter?”
Xia Nuanyang turned back to look at Yingnü, her face beaming with a joyful smile.
As a delivery driver working far from home, her friends were pitifully few. She usually didn't even have a female friend to hang out with, let alone one she could confide in.
Yingnü was dazed and innocent, which brought out a strong protective desire in her, making her feel like she had gained a little sister.
After taking her home last time, she had thought their paths might never cross again, which had made her a little sad.
Therefore, when she received a message from Yingnü, she was overjoyed and eagerly arranged a place to meet.
“There's something I need your help with,” Yingnü said faintly.
“Just say it, no need to be polite~”
“I want to find a job.”
Xia Nuanyang was taken aback, then continued to ask:
“Little Ying, what's your educational background?”
“I've never been to school.”
“Then do you have any areas of expertise?”
Yingnü thought seriously for a moment, then said with an expressionless face:
“Lord Demon Sovereign said that I'm particularly suited for stealth, tracking, and assassination…”
Before Yingnü could finish, Xia Nuanyang quickly raised a hand to interrupt her.
What the heck is all that!
Stealth, tracking, assassination—what kind of job is that? That's clearly an assassin!
What on earth did that hateful 'Lord Demon Sovereign' say to the cute Little Ying!
How could a cute girl do that kind of thing!
Only a girl as naturally airheaded as Little Ying would believe such bullshit!
“Little Ying, isn't there any job you particularly want to do?”
Yingnü shook her head decisively, without the slightest hesitation.
Just like Longye and the others, she had no idea how to find a job, or what kind of job to look for.
But seeing Meizhi being praised by Lord Demon Sovereign after he found a job, she also wanted to find one as quickly as possible.
In this world, the only person she could think of who might be able to help her was the Xia Nuanyang she had just recently met.
“So you don't have any particular job you want to do…” Thıs text ıs hosted at novel⟡fire.net
Hearing that Yingnü didn't even know what she wanted to do, Xia Nuanyang was momentarily at a loss.
No schooling, no particular area of expertise, and no idea what she wants to do... finding a job with no advantages or direction is no easy task.
And Little Ying seems so dazed; she looks like the kind of naive girl who could be easily tricked. I don't know what kind of job would suit her.
After a moment of thought, Xia Nuanyang offered a suggestion:
“Little Ying, in that case… why don't you deliver takeout with me?”
“Deliver takeout? Can you get a lot of money?”
Yingnü asked dazedly.
“If you're fast enough and deliver enough orders, you can earn a lot of money!”
“Okay! Then I want to try!”
Learning that there was a chance to earn a lot of money, Yingnü immediately gave a solemn nod.
“Alright! Then after we eat, I'll show you the ropes~!”
Xia Nuanyang gave a brilliant smile.
Just then, the two orders of stir-fried rice noodles were served.
The two of them ate and chatted happily, though it was mostly Xia Nuanyang talking endlessly while Yingnü responded to each point.
Soon, they finished their noodles, and the training for takeout delivery officially began.
“Little Ying, this is the delivery rider app. First, download it and register an account. Then, after you pass the newbie training and assessment, you can click 'Go Online' and start accepting orders.”
“The system will assign you orders, but sometimes you also have to grab them yourself. After you grab one, click on the route and follow the navigation to pick up and deliver the food.”
As she spoke, Xia Nuanyang casually refreshed the list, and a new order popped up. In an instant, her eyes hardened, and with quick eyes and fast hands, she swiped the screen and snatched the order.
“See? Just like that. That's how you successfully grab an order.”
Xia Nuanyang triumphantly showed off her successful grab. She then beckoned for Yingnü to sit behind her, and twisted the throttle of the electric scooter, heading for the restaurant.
“Uncle, is order 36 ready~?”
Xia Nuanyang led Yingnü into a roadside restaurant and asked warmly.
The male owner inside saw Xia Nuanyang and laughed cheerfully, pointing to the already packed takeout on a nearby table.
“Here, it's been ready for you.”
Xia Nuanyang gave a sweet smile, took the takeout and put it in her insulated box, then called for Yingnü to get back on behind her, and they set off to make the delivery.
“The restaurants usually don't give us riders a hard time. Sometimes they'll even give us some meal perks. If they're busy and don't have time, we can also just find the right order number and take it ourselves.”
“If the food is taking too long, we can report it in advance. That way, it's not our loss.”
“Also, for orders like cakes and flowers, it's best to not accept them if you can avoid it!”
Along the way, Xia Nuanyang talked non-stop, patiently imparting the delivery experience she had accumulated over the years.
During their talk, the two arrived at the bottom of an apartment building.
“We're here. This is it.”
Xia Nuanyang parked the electric scooter, took the takeout from the insulated box, and, following the detailed address, took the elevator up to the designated apartment door.
“This customer left a note to leave the food at the door, so we'll just put it at the door and then take a picture.”
“If they don't say, we knock and hand it to them directly. That way, there are fewer mistakes, and if it goes missing, you can file a claim.”
“After the food is delivered, all we have to do is click 'Delivered'~”
“Tada~ Look, this order was 10 yuan, easily credited to the account~ Isn't it simple?”
After completing the delivery, Xia Nuanyang showed her app interface to Yingnü, her face full of the joy of having received her payment.
“Mmm-hmm! I understand!”
Yingnü nodded solemnly.
After Xia Nuanyang had taken her through one full delivery, she now roughly understood what this job was like.
You just have to grab an order, go pick up the food, and then deliver it.
“Can I start delivering now?”
Yingnü's sudden question completely defeated Xia Nuanyang.
“Little Ying, you weren't listening to me at all, were you…”
“You have to first download the rider app on your phone, register an account, and pass the assessment and training before you can go online and accept orders.”
“Rider app… register an account…”
Yingnü took out her phone, at a complete loss, and looked at Xia Nuanyang with pleading eyes.
“Sigh, let me help you…”
Xia Nuanyang sighed helplessly, then gave a doting smile. She took the initiative, took her phone, and helped her download the dedicated rider app, register an account, and do all the other necessary steps.
It couldn't be helped. Little Ying was like an elderly person using a smartphone for the first time. She didn't even know what a photo was and had no idea how to use a smartphone, so she had to do it for her…
