Chapter 3097: Chapter 3099: The Package Was Snatched

"If I were truly someone who only cares about money, I wouldn’t still be in my current situation, so it’s best not to meddle in things that aren’t your business. Just play your chess quietly."

The middle-aged man looked displeased, glancing disdainfully at Lin Yi, who was riding a tricycle.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi rode his electric tricycle to the entrance of Building 4.

The long-haired woman tidied her clothes a bit, ready to go up and ask for a phone number or something.

But at this moment, the middle-aged man said quite rudely:

"There should be a package for 1602, right? Find it for me."

"Hang on, I’ll look for it."

Lin Yi stopped the tricycle and started looking for the package for 1604.

He finally found a small palm-sized box, but the box was damaged.

Lin Yi took the parcel out, scanned it, and asked:

"Are you Li Haijiang?"

"Yes." Li Haijiang nodded, looking disinterested.

Lin Yi handed the package over, saying:

"The outer packaging is damaged; check to see if anything inside is broken."

Li Haijiang took a drag of his cigarette, opened the package nonchalantly.

Lin Yi saw that Li Haijiang took a phone out of the box.

Although the outer packaging was damaged, the phone’s box was untouched.

Seeing the package was fine, Lin Yi felt relieved and prepared to deliver other parcels.

"Wait a minute."

Just as Lin Yi was about to leave, he was called back by Li Haijiang.

"What’s the matter?"

"I bought two phones; why is there only one?"

"You bought two phones?"

"You think I’m lying to you?"

Li Haijiang took out his purchase history; Lin Yi glanced and found that he indeed bought two phones.

But there was only one in the box, so naturally there was a question.

"Don’t worry, I’ll report this matter to higher-ups," Lin Yi said.

"If one was lost during transport, we’ll compensate accordingly, but it might also be that the seller deliberately sent only one. Anyway, don’t worry, we’ll handle it."

Lin Yi was very polite. After all, it was partly his fault, so he needed to calm the customer’s emotions.

However, Lin Yi now understood why Sun Qiang had complained earlier.

Because this wasn’t his problem, yet he had to explain to the customer.

"Your excuse is pretty good," Li Haijiang sneered.

"Did you steal my phone?"

Hearing Li Haijiang’s accusation, the people at the building entrance all turned their attention to Lin Yi.

Although they hadn’t encountered something like this, stealing deliveries did happen occasionally.

And the missing items were usually valuable.

"This handsome young man looks so decent; he probably wouldn’t do something like that," the long-haired woman holding a golden retriever said.

"I don’t think he did it either," the short-haired woman added, "

but in today’s world, you never know. Let’s see what happens first."

"I don’t think he would. If he were really that cheap, he wouldn’t be delivering parcels," the long-haired woman said.

"He could just work at a nightclub, have a drink with a rich woman, sing a few songs and get a few grand for tips; no need to do this."

"I bet Old Li is just jealous," the short-haired woman smirked mischievously.

"You keep wanting to get his WeChat; of course he’d get upset and make things difficult for this handsome boy."

"Shameless," the short-haired woman scoffed.

Lin Yi looked at Li Haijiang like he was crazy, "I don’t lack phones. Why would I steal yours?"

"This is an Apple phone, over 6,000 yuan each. Can your cheap domestic phone compare?" Li Haijiang insisted.

"People like you, I’ve seen many. They see others buy something nice, and then they steal the package for themselves."

Lin Yi casually took out his phone, "My phone’s over ten thousand. Why would I bother with your 6,000-yuan phone?"

Seeing Lin Yi’s phone, the people at the entrance were surprised.

In their impression, these couriers usually used one or two thousand yuan domestic phones. Even if they had an Apple, it was usually an old model.

They didn’t expect this courier to have a new top-of-the-line model.

To say they weren’t surprised would be a lie.

And Li Haijiang was also a bit taken aback, momentarily at a loss for words.

"A lousy phone, acting like it’s a treasure. Who’d steal your junk?"

Lin Yi muttered a criticism, then began sorting other parcels, saying:

"Just wait; I’ll call and ask what’s going on when I get back."

After leaving those words, Lin Yi walked away, ignoring Li Haijiang, and informed Xu Wen about the matter, asking her to handle it.

Li Haijiang stood there awkwardly with his phone, wishing he could disappear.

The small commotion ended, and the remaining deliveries went smoothly.

Although a few parcels also had damaged packaging, nothing was missing or broken, so the customers didn’t pursue it.

By around six in the evening, Lin Yi finished all his deliveries.

On his way back, he received a call from Qi Xianzhao.

"Director Lin, I had my team do some statistics; the group sends out roughly 300 parcels a day."

"Huh? 300 parcels? Are you joking?" Lin Yi said.

"A small clothing business sends more than 300 a day, and our group sends just this much?"

"Director Lin, we’re the group headquarters; most of our parcels are invoices and documents, not sales items," Qi Xianzhao explained, half amused.

"Oh..."

With Qi Xianzhao’s explanation, Lin Yi realized what was going on.

Given this, 300 parcels a day wasn’t too little.

But even adding up these 300 parcels, reaching 1,500 was still a bit challenging compared to the Peace Road branch.

"Ask your team to also count the data from other Zhong Hai branch offices too, see how many parcels there are each day."

"Understood, Director Lin."

After hanging up, Lin Yi rode towards the delivery point.

If Lingyun Group can pull together over 300 parcels, then Ji Qingyan’s Chaoyang Group surely won’t have much less.

If needed, Yan Ci still had some; reaching 3,000 parcels shouldn’t be too difficult.

Soon, Lin Yi returned to the delivery station.

Xu Wen was looking at the computer, doing statistical analysis, while Sun Qiang hadn’t returned yet.

"Has the missing phone issue been cleared up?" Lin Yi asked as he tossed the keys aside upon entering.

"The district is investigating," Xu Wen replied.

"Most likely an insider job. This has happened before. It’s getting worse."

"Let the district handle it then."

With all deliveries complete, the rest of the work was waiting for the pickup truck to take the parcels away, ending today’s tasks.

"Boss, something’s happened."

As they spoke, Sun Qiang rushed in, saying breathlessly:

"Over 80 of our parcels have been intercepted!"
