Demanding Wages

[Ding: Lin Qishuang's favorability towards you has increased to 65. Please continue your efforts, host!]

Looking at Lin Qishuang on the screen, who had changed into a white robe, especially the red plum blossoms embroidered on the robe, which further enhanced her elegant and resilient demeanor.

What an absolute beauty! She's truly stunning!

While admiring the ancient-style beauty before him, Lin Xiao nodded inwardly.

He no longer had such a strong aversion to the game.

I just wonder if any other good things will appear as I progress through the game?

Just as Lin Xiao was having all sorts of wild guesses, his phone suddenly rang.

Lin Xiao glanced at her phone screen and saw that it was the contact name of the website administrator, Li Wei.

Lin Xiao had been putting up with this station manager for a long time.

They always bully outsiders like me because they think they're locals.

Not only did they demand all sorts of bribes and favors, but they also found various excuses to deduct wages and bonuses.

He's practically a modern-day version of Zhou Bapi (a notorious exploiter).

In the past, I had to swallow my anger because I had to work under him.

but now……

With that in mind, Lin Xiao answered the phone immediately.

"Lin Xiao, you little bastard, do you still want to work here? You dared to skip work for a day. You're being fined three days' wages."

Also, rush hour is almost here! I'm ordering you to be on duty within five minutes, or you can forget about your salary this month!

As soon as the call connected, Li Wei's manic voice immediately came through.

Lin Xiao didn't refute anything throughout, but just listened quietly.

"Speak up! Are you deaf?! You stinking outsider, if you don't want to work, go back to your hometown and beg for food..."

Lin Xiao glanced at the time; it was already 7:30 in the morning.

He had originally decided not to go to the courier station anymore, but after thinking about it, he decided to go and get back his wages for the past two weeks.

Even feeding dogs shouldn't be a privilege for Li Wei, given this kind of upbringing.

Moreover, he wanted to vent the frustrations he had endured over the past few years.

"I'll be there in a bit, you'd better wait for me at the station."

After saying this very calmly, Lin Xiao hung up the phone.

After quickly tidying himself up, he grabbed his phone and prepared to leave.

As for the tiger-skin cloak, he hid it away.

Wearing this out is a bit too flashy.

Upon arriving in the courtyard, Lin Xiao remembered the Thunder Talisman he had thrown out the previous night, and deliberately ran to the tree to take a look.

However, he discovered that the Thunder Talisman he had thrown out the night before had disappeared without him noticing.

I looked around, but couldn't find it.

I don't know if the wind blew it away or what happened.

Lin Xiao shook his head and finally decided to give up the search.

It's just a useless rune.

I hopped on my electric scooter and headed straight to the food delivery station.

However, he did not notice that as he left, the second-floor window was suddenly opened.

A very beautiful figure appeared at the second-floor window at some point.

He was holding a piece of paper in his hand, which looked somewhat similar to the Thunder Talisman that Lin Xiao had lost.

"Hey, is this Captain Long? I've found something really interesting..."

……

Today is Monday, and traffic in Shanghai is a bit congested.

Therefore, it took Lin Xiao half an hour longer than usual to arrive at the delivery station he was responsible for delivering.

As soon as I entered, I caught a glimpse of station manager Li Wei sitting behind the counter with his legs crossed, playing with his phone and a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

Several local deliverymen were gathered around him, chatting and laughing.

Hearing footsteps, Li Wei didn't even look up, and mumbled a curse:

"You little rascal, you're smart enough to come over. Hurry up and put on your uniform. There are a lot of orders this morning, every missed delivery will cost you fifty!"

Several deliverymen around them joined in the laughter, their eyes filled with schadenfreude.

In the past, Lin Xiao would have just swallowed her anger and silently put on her work clothes to do her job.

But now, thinking that he has less than a hundred days left to live, he has no patience left at all.

Lin Xiao ignored the laughing people and walked straight to the counter.

He placed his hands on the table and said in a calm but undeniably powerful voice, "Li Wei, I'm not here to work, I'm here to collect my salary for the next two weeks."

"Get paid?" Li Wei finally looked up and sized Lin Xiao up and down, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"You were absent from work yesterday, which means you'll have three days' pay deducted according to regulations, and you'll also lose your perfect attendance bonus for this month. I'm already being lenient by not making you pay compensation, and you still dare to come asking for your wages?"

"It's true that I was absent from work, I accept the deduction of one day's wages." Lin Xiao's eyes turned cold.

"But deducting three days' worth of attendance bonus, is this rule set by the company or by yourself? There was no such rule in the contract I signed when I joined the company."

Li Wei's face darkened, and he slammed his hand on the table as he stood up: "I am the rule of this station! In this small area, I say how much to deduct, and that's how much to deduct!"

You're just a nobody from out of town, you dare talk to me about a contract? If you don't want to work here, then get out! There are plenty of people to replace you!

Several locals nearby chimed in, "That's right, Brother Li is right, don't push your luck!"

Lin Xiao, however, was not afraid at all, and instead took a step forward.

His unusual behavior today caused those around him to instinctively step back.

Lin Xiao looked coldly at Li Wei in front of him and said in a deep voice, "I'm telling you right now, you won't shortchange me a single penny of my due salary."

Otherwise, we'll go to the labor inspection brigade and have a word with them, to see if your rules are more powerful than the country's laws.

"You dare threaten me?" Li Wei was startled by Lin Xiao's imposing manner, and then became angry and embarrassed, reaching out to push Lin Xiao.

"You stinking outsider, I think you're tired of living!"

Lin Xiao was prepared and dodged to the side, grabbing Li Wei's wrist in the process.

He used to do a lot of heavy work to make a living, so he was quite strong.

All along, he just didn't want to cause trouble.

At that moment, Li Wei felt as if his wrist was being clamped by iron clamps, and he grimaced in pain, cold sweat instantly pouring down his face.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Let me go right now!" Li Wei struggled, but he couldn't break free no matter what he did.

The surrounding laughter stopped instantly, and the local deliverymen looked at each other, none of them daring to step forward to help.

They usually bully outsiders with Li Wei because Li Wei is a local and has connections and power.

But I've never seen any migrant worker from out of town dare to directly lay a hand on Li Wei.

These days, those who dare to take action are ruthless.

There have been numerous cases of delivery drivers stabbing station managers to death.

At this moment, no one dared to be suspicious of Lin Xiao, this hothead, for fear that he might suddenly pull out a knife!

Lin Xiao tightened his grip slightly, his tone icy: "Now, calculate my salary."

Li Wei was in so much pain that tears were almost streaming down his face. He didn't dare to be stubborn anymore and quickly nodded, "Let go of me, let me calculate it for you, I'll calculate it for you, okay?!"

Lin Xiao released his grip, and Li Wei clutched his wrist, rubbing it incessantly, a hint of fear creeping into his eyes as he looked at Lin Xiao.

He dared not try any more tricks, picked up the calculator, and reluctantly began to calculate.

"You completed 238 orders in the past two weeks, with a base salary of 2000 and a commission of 1856. After deducting 130 for one day of absence, the total is 3726 yuan." Li Wei reported the figures, still sounding somewhat unconvinced.

Lin Xiao glanced at the numbers on the calculator, and after confirming they were correct, he sneered, "Cash or bank transfer?"

Li Wei gritted his teeth, took out a wad of cash from the drawer, counted out 3726 yuan, and then slammed it hard on the counter.

"Here you go! Take the money and get out of here, and don't let me see you again!"

Lin Xiao picked up the money, counted it, confirmed the amount was correct, and then put it in his pocket.

He didn't even glance at Li Wei before turning around and walking out.

As he reached the door, he stopped, turned back, and said:

"Also, let me remind you, don't bully migrant workers in the future. What goes around comes around."

After saying that, Lin Xiao walked out of the station without looking back, got on his electric scooter, and felt extremely happy.

This was the first time in his life that he had so openly and unreservedly demanded an explanation from someone.

This feeling of triumph is so exhilarating!

Besides, this salary of over three thousand is enough for me to recharge several more 648s!

Of course, the most urgent thing is to get a new phone.

By the way, I also downloaded that somewhat strange game to my new phone.
