Chapter 162: Don't Leave My Package at the Old Bird Parcel Station

Zhou Yi went to the side to make a phone call, while his father and mother had already begun to look at this apartment with pleasant surprise.

For many people, and even for many families, a house holds an extremely special significance.

Not to mention anything else, the first requirement for many mothers-in-law is that there must be a house and there must be a car!

And relatively speaking, a car is considered less important than a house.

It must be said that Zhou Yi's apartment, looking purely at the layout and renovation, was excellent.

At the very least, his father and mother were particularly satisfied right now!

Although they had seen it in videos before, how could a video compare to the feeling of seeing it in person?

Otherwise, places like bathhouses wouldn't exist; everyone could just watch videos of them and be done with it.

After looking around, his mother nodded with satisfaction and said, "Hmm, now that the house and car are all set, and you've started a Company, all that's missing is a wife!"

His father deeply agreed.

Zhou Mouren naturally did not know that bringing his parents to see the new house had instead made them even more eager to urge him to get married.

He was currently contacting the parcel station near the Small Residential District.

Zhou Yi had moved to the Small Residential District a few months ago, but he rarely shopped online in his daily life.

There was no helping it; being single is just that happy.

For those who have girlfriends or wives, just look at how many parcels they have to pick up for their wives every day!

Don't ask me how I know.

He had bought expensive items like cameras online before, but those were all sent via SF Express and delivered directly to his door.

Therefore, Zhou Yi was not familiar with the nearby parcel station; he had only been there once before to pick up some snacks he bought, and the boss's phone number was on the wall.

The reason he was calling was that a large item of his was about to arrive.

Needless to say, this parcel station usually did not deliver to one's door.

After all... for well-known reasons, delivery drivers don't earn much money, so they all just dump the parcels at the station.

Not to mention a young man like Zhou Yi, even an elderly woman like Liu Nainai sometimes had to go pick up items herself when her children abroad bought things for her.

If it were small, lightweight items, Zhou Yi wouldn't bother to specifically talk to anyone about it.

After all, he was idle every day anyway, and the station was about one hundred meters to the right of the Small Residential District entrance; it wasn't far, but it wasn't exactly close either.

Taking a stroll every day, he could just pick it up on the way.

But this large item was different; Zhou Yi had bought an e-sports chair, and because he was always working in front of the computer, he had bought a more comfortable chair.

It was very heavy; the customer service had told him when he bought it that this item was very heavy.

So Zhou Yi thought he would tell the other party in advance so that when the time came, they would deliver this large item to his home, and he would just wait at home.

He called twice with no answer, and it finally went through on the third try.

"Hello, is this the Old Bird Parcel Station near Yuefu Residential Quarter?" Zhou Yi asked very politely.

"Yes, what do you want?"

Two cold, icy sentences.

To be honest, Zhou Yi didn't know if this was a nationwide problem or if it was because this station saw too many people every day, which was why their attitudes were so poor.

It was the same back in his hometown in Lincheng.

The staff at the station were also indifferent, as if you owed them money just by asking them two extra questions when picking up a parcel.

But that didn't matter; Zhou Yi said, "Hello, I am an owner here at Yuefu Residential Quarter, Zhou Yi. I have a parcel that should be arriving soon, and I wanted to tell you not to put it at your Old Bird Parcel Station, but to deliver it directly to my door."

"It's a large item, it's very..."

Zhou Mouren hadn't even finished saying the word "heavy" before he was interrupted.

"The station only stores items on behalf of others; we are not responsible for delivery. If you have a problem, you can find the delivery driver."

After saying this, the person hung up directly before Zhou Yi could even react.

Listening to the dial tone on his phone, Zhou Yi didn't feel much of anything; what the other party said seemed to make sense.

The parcel hadn't arrived at the Old Bird Parcel Station yet, so he should indeed find the delivery driver first and tell the driver not to put it at the station.

He opened the shopping app and found the logistics from the order page; it showed that it had already started being dispatched.

He found the delivery driver's phone number and immediately called.

This time it took even longer than before; the line was busy as soon as he called.

But thinking about the delivery driver's work, it seemed normal, so Zhou Yi waited patiently.

Finally, it went through on about the fifth call.

"Hello, who is this? Do you need something?"

It was a slightly young voice.

Because of his previous experience, Zhou Yi quickly said this time: "Brother, I am an owner here at Yuefu Residential Quarter, and my parcel is a large item; I can't carry it back."

"So I'm sorry, this can't be left at the station; it needs to be delivered to my home."

"When you arrive, you can call me, and we can carry it together."

Zhou Yi felt he was speaking with righteous confidence; although this item also had free shipping, anyone who buys things online knows that free shipping means the shipping cost is included in the price.

Regardless of whether the price is high or low, the shipping cost was paid regardless.

He definitely couldn't carry this item back himself, and he would have to drive, but driving for such a short distance wasn't worth it, so he was telling them in advance.

Zhou Mouren felt that he must have been imbued with some kind of aura by the system, which was why no matter where he went, people wouldn't speak to him properly.

It seemed he always had to have a police officer or a judge speak for him.

So this time, he told the other party in advance.

"What is your name and phone number?"

Zhou Yi reported his name and phone number to the other party in turn.

"Alright, I understand."

The call ended immediately. Zhou Yi felt a bit relieved; it should be fine this time, right? He had even asked for my name and phone number.

It wasn't for any other reason, but even though Zhou Mouren was a man who liked to be thorough, he was also getting a bit troubled by this kind of endless business.

He was now just looking forward to encountering some normal things!

Turning back, he saw his mom and dad sitting in the living room, staring at him.

"What's wrong, Mom, Dad? Have you looked at the house? What do you think?" Zhou Yi smiled.

"The house is naturally good. This house—your father and I wouldn't have dared to even imagine it when we were young. To think that in our old age, we could actually live in a house in Jingzhou."

"That's good then. Let's skip today; tomorrow I'll take you to my Company to look around."

"No rush for that!" Mother Zhou said: "Look at you now, you have a car and a house, and a career too. So, about finding a partner..."

"Mom isn't trying to pressure you, it's mainly that you're alone in Jingzhou, and Mom is worried. It's always better to have someone by your side to take care of you."

"Don't you see the news reports? Some people living alone die suddenly at home and aren't discovered for several days."

"Fine, fine, Mom won't say any more. Look, you don't have anything to eat here. Your father and I will go out for a walk and buy some groceries."

The two of them went out, and Zhou Yi finally quieted down. The relationship between children and parents is actually quite subtle.

It's just like between lovers: when close, there is resentment; when distant, there is a lack of affection!

The first day you go home, you are the family's little treasure; the tenth day you are home, why haven't you left yet?

Not dwelling on these thoughts, he sat back down in front of the computer and started watching his own video. According to his time estimate, the video should have already passed review.

The review speed for Zhou Mouren's videos was indeed very fast now. In fact, it had passed review twenty minutes after he posted it.

Looking at the comment section now, Zhou Yi was instantly caught between laughter and tears.

These audience members were truly dancing like demons in the comment section.

"I previously said someone was leeching off Fang Dazhuang's popularity and wondered why A Yi didn't care, but it turns out the person came knocking directly. Real vs. Fake Lawyer, I give this plot full marks!"

"Holy crap, I really didn't expect the quality of this episode to be so high. Fang Dazhuang, Liu Dazhuang, Li Gui meets Li Kui—so satisfying!"

"It's just that Liu Dazhuang barely put up any resistance, which makes one feel it didn't reach the peak of satisfaction. If only there could have been a confrontation..."

"Liu Dazhuang: Still resisting? I think you're trying to get me locked up. You bunch of people are always trying to harm me!"

"Using moral kidnapping to deal with moral kidnapping—it really doesn't get more satisfying than this!"

To put it in one sentence: the world has suffered from moral kidnapping for too long!

It seems that no matter what the matter is, as long as a few people are involved, if you don't agree, then it's your fault!

If you say there is no legitimate reason and you simply don't want to agree, then that could barely be considered your fault.

But to not agree when there is a legitimate reason and still get attacked—that is just a bit speechless.

Seeing Zhou Yi deal with moral kidnapping in such a way, especially those two meetings where Guo Hongtu was left speechless with a flushed face, was truly satisfying!

Precisely because there is so much moral kidnapping in life, everyone yearns to make these moral kidnappers have a hard time.

This episode of the video involved too many keywords; it was the kind of feeling that could directly hit everyone's sweet spot!

The popularity rose in a straight line in a very short time. No need to think about it, this was another hit among hits.

Just don't know if it can crush everything else.

As for whether he could reach the top, Zhou Yi didn't view it as very important.

The people he offended with that previous wave of lawsuit videos were indeed numerous. Even now, in the comment section and private messages, one could still see a lot of abuse.

Even some "peers" would very subtly mention that Up Master A Yi shouldn't have done that, as it directly ruined the entire industry.

Regarding this, Zhou Yi simply ignored them. I don't make a living by filming videos; I just look at whether what you say is excessive. If it's excessive, I'll sue you.

Life entered harmony once again. Aside from the initial pressure to get married, his parents didn't say anything else later on.

Instead, there was no need for him, Zhou Yi, to eat outside every day.

In Mother Zhou's words, who knows how the things outside are made? Even if they are delicious, they aren't as good as home-cooked meals.

The night passed without incident.

Early the next morning, Zhou Yi drove his parents out, heading straight for the Tengda Company office building.

At the entrance, the General Manager was already waiting there. Seeing Father Zhou and Mother Zhou, he stepped forward to greet them warmly.

Entering the Company's main gate, the receptionist girl also directly said, "Hello, President Zhou," which kept smiles on Father Zhou and Mother Zhou's faces.

"Hey, Xiao Yi, do you usually treat the Employees in the Company poorly? I see that receptionist girl seems very afraid of you," Father Zhou leaned over and whispered.

Huh? The receptionist girl?

Zhou Yi looked over. Oh, Wang Weiwei.

"Dad, that's not fear; that's called... that's called respect."

"Oh... respect, huh."

That was definitely fear. Weiwei had been working as a receptionist at the Company for so long, yet she still didn't feel at ease with Zhou Yi.

She did everything cautiously, terrified that one day she would be sent inside.

The time that followed was actually Zhou Mouren's time for Pretending to be Cool.

He took his parents to visit every department of the Company, looked everywhere, and of course, showed them his huge office.

After this round, Father Zhou and Mother Zhou finally understood their son's ability. Such a big Company, to think he could actually start it!

Is this still that brat from our family?

After visiting the Company, it was already nearing noon, so they went home to eat as usual.

In the afternoon, Zhou Mouren took his parents out again.

He introduced his parents to Liu Nainai and the others; since everyone was neighbors, they certainly had to help each other out.

Except for Xu Yufeng's family.

"Huh? Liu Nainai, are you saying Xu Yufeng's family sold their house? Then who is currently upstairs from my place..."

Liu Nainai in front of him smiled and said, "That's right, didn't you know? Her family sold the house many days ago."

"I'm not too sure exactly who bought it, but they should be moving in soon."

"No wonder, it's been exceptionally quiet upstairs lately, not really her family's style..." Zhou Yi realized with a start.

Although he had said before that one shouldn't disturb the neighbors, there would certainly be some noise in daily life.

There hadn't been a single sound for the past few days, and Zhou Yi had found it a bit strange.

He wondered what this new neighbor would be like...

Leaving his parents to chat with Liu Nainai, Zhou Yi planned to head out to find material.

Don't misunderstand, it really was to find material; as a creator, one naturally needs a lot of material, and this material appears in every aspect of society.

Otherwise, many novel writers would take leave every so often to go out and gather material; that is a normal phenomenon.

However, just as Zhou Mouren was thinking about whether to go to Honglangman Xiyu or Huiyuan Yangsheng for material, his phone rang.

He picked it up to look, and it was a text message.

Oh, he tapped it open to look, eh, it was a text message from the delivery station.

【Cainiao Station】 Please go to the store at the intersection outside Yuefu Residential Quarter to scan the code and pick up your Biantong Express package yourself, view package service point...

Ah, this... did he buy anything recently? It seemed to be that particularly heavy chair.

To confirm, Zhou Yi even tapped his phone to check, and sure enough, it was his package.

This was the package he had specifically called the station about and instructed the courier not to leave at Cainiao Station.

Did the courier forget in the rush?

Zhou Yi took out his phone, found the number of the courier who had delivered it earlier, and immediately started dialing.

Same as before, it took a long time to get through.

"Hello, is this Biantong Express?"

"Yes, it is."

"I'm the one who spoke with you earlier, Zhou Yi, the owner at Yuefu Residential Quarter. I told you that our package is a large item, don't leave it at Cainiao Station, it needs to be delivered to the door."

"Ah, Zhou Yi, right? I know, I know, I know about your package, I'll deliver it to you later," the courier replied.

"But I just received a message from Cainiao Station saying that the package has already been entered into their inventory and notified me to go pick it up myself. What's going on?"

"Oh right, that text message, right? Don't worry about that, we have a partnership with Cainiao Station, they are responsible for delivering this package to your door."

The courier explained it very clearly.

Although curious why Cainiao Station was responsible for the door-to-door delivery again, Zhou Yi didn't ask anything more.

"Oh, is that so? Alright then, so I just wait, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, you just wait, they are responsible for everything."

That was fine then.

PS: Everyone, don't scold yet, the protagonist isn't being inconsiderate, it depends on the situation...

A double update to quench your thirst is here! First update, thanks to marauder, Shanhui, and Xuyan for the tips, thank you. I had to get a nucleic acid test today and the lockdown was lifted, so there was a lot to do in the afternoon and I didn't finish writing, the next chapter will be up very soon.
