Chapter 416 Blackmail
At this moment.
Inside a simple private room at Old Brother Liu's food stall.
Four men sat around a table. At the head of the table was a man in his early thirties, with a sharp, monkey-like face, Tian Hu.
Tian Hu hung up his phone, angrily threw it onto the table, and scoffed, "Zhang Li looks decent on the surface, but she can't resist temptation. Look at her, with Chen Yang right now!"
Wang Lei, sitting beside him, immediately said, "Brother Hu, I told you long ago you shouldn't be so polite to Zhang Li. You should have just forced her, and she would have yielded."
"Think about it, she always kept us at a distance. But over a year ago, when Chen Yang first entered the Meituan industry, he knew nothing."
"Back then, Zhang Li actively approached him and helped him. Why? Wasn't it just because he was young and a bit handsome? So, women, frankly, are just cheap."
Tian Hu gritted his teeth and sneered, "Indeed. I felt pity for her, a woman raising a child alone, and didn't want to bully her. I even gave her many orders. Now I realize my good intentions were wasted."
"But this time, that woman Zhang Li definitely won't escape my cousin's and my grasp, hahaha..."
The three men beside him also burst into laughter.
Wang Lei quickly flattered him, "Brother Hu, we will definitely help you win over that woman Zhang Li."
"But can you also pull us into the company? This delivery industry is really too difficult to work in now."
"A large number of young people are flooding into the delivery industry. Think about it, if we used to work twelve hours a day, we could at least earn eight or nine thousand, even ten thousand. Now, to earn ten thousand again, we really have to fight for every order."
"And now they don't even pay us social security, turning us all into freelancers. This business is really unworkable, Brother Hu. We are all your most loyal subordinates and brothers, you must pull us into a big company."
Tian Hu laughed heartily, "Don't worry, I, Tian Hu, won't mistreat you."
As the four men were talking, Chen Yang and Zhang Li walked towards the food stall.
Upon entering the private room.
Tian Hu immediately stood up and chuckled at Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, you scoundrel, you're not being honest. We all thought you weren't delivering food anymore, but unexpectedly, you're still in contact with our 'flower of delivery' every day! Your wicked intentions are still alive! Hahaha..."
Tian Hu made a slightly suggestive joke as he motioned for Chen Yang and Zhang Li to sit down.
Chen Yang merely managed a weak smile. He didn't have much affection for people like Tian Hu.
Although they were all from the same delivery station, apart from Zhang Li, the others were just ordinary colleagues.
This collegial relationship was limited to greetings when they met, nothing more.
If he needed help from colleagues at work, it was impossible. Worse, they might even scheme against him. Then, he would have a few more negative reviews, and his salary would be deducted without recourse.
However, Tian Hu and the others were quite good to Zhang Li.
After all, Zhang Li, as a mature woman, was a renowned beauty in the delivery industry.
Zhang Li smoothed her hair and sat down. Seeing Chen Yang still standing, she smiled and pulled him to sit beside her.
Zhang Li said, "Brother Hu, if you hadn't called me today, I would have forgotten. I heard your cousin is the well-known head of HR at Tiancheng Pharmaceutical Company!"
Tian Hu chuckled triumphantly, nodding, "He was just promoted last month. Also, I have good news to share with you all. Tiancheng Pharmaceutical is being transferred to a new company. Do you know what that means?"
"It means there will be significant personnel changes. Many people will leave Tiancheng Pharmaceutical, and at the same time, Tiancheng Pharmaceutical will recruit many new employees."
"Of course, even if no one leaves, during this period of transition, my cousin has the authority to recruit. So, tomorrow presents a great opportunity."
"Zhang Li, it's not easy for you. Being a woman delivering food is not only hard work but also invites gossip. So, I recommended you to my cousin."
"You've been delivering food for over three years and understand this industry too well. Tiancheng Pharmaceutical has a position specifically for delivering medicine to various pharmacies. This position is highly sought after, with a base salary of 6,500, and a 1% commission on deliveries."
"Don't underestimate that 1%. With the increasing amount of medicine Tiancheng Pharmaceutical delivers, it's normal to deliver a million yuan worth of medicine in a month. That commission alone would be ten thousand. So, Zhang Li, you were the first person I thought of for this position."
Hearing such high salary expectations, Zhang Li's face flushed with excitement. She quickly poured herself a beer and leaned towards Tian Hu, saying, "Brother Hu, I am truly, truly grateful to you. I'll drink this beer to you first."
Saying that, Zhang Li tilted her head and chugged down a glass of beer. Although she couldn't drink well, she coughed incessantly after finishing it, but her eyes couldn't hide her joy.
Tian Hu laughed heartily, "Who asked us to be such good friends? Also, Chen Yang, you can try tomorrow too. If they are still looking for people, I'll have my cousin find a position for you as well."
"Although you're definitely not qualified to be a pharmaceutical sales representative, guarding a warehouse or being a security guard is definitely within your capabilities."
"Tiancheng Pharmaceutical, with the basic salary plus various overtime pay and the five insurances and one fund, can bring in at least five or six thousand yuan, which is much better than delivering food."
Zhang Li immediately patted Chen Yang's shoulder, "Chen Yang, quickly thank Brother Hu."
Chen Yang merely nodded slightly, too lazy to engage. He grunted and said, "Thank you, Brother Hu, but I don't need it."
Wang Lei, sitting beside him, snorted with laughter and sneered, "Chen Yang, with your attitude and your perception, what can you do in society?
"You're destined to be a good-for-nothing. Delivery is the only thing that suits you. No wonder you always ranked first when you delivered food, earning about ten thousand every month. You can't do any other job, hahahaha!"
The others also laughed and chimed in, "Chen Yang, Brother Hu is just kindly reminding you. You should thank Brother Hu quickly."
"Exactly, exactly. If you're so unperceptive, you'll miss a great opportunity."
Wang Lei sneered, "If you cling tightly to Brother Hu's leg now, and you succeed in entering Tiancheng Pharmaceutical tomorrow, you can still deliver food after work."
"Imagine doing both jobs together, with five insurances and one fund, and paid leave. You could earn at least fifteen or sixteen thousand a month."
"Your little life is about to become wonderful. Hurry up and toast Brother Hu, and beg Brother Hu to give you this opportunity!"
Tian Hu laughed heartily, looking at Chen Yang with immense pride, his eyes filled with a hint of mockery and disdain.
