Chapter 173: The Masters of Other Systems Don't Even Qualify to Be Urged to Marry

Practice has shown that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

Looking at the "200,000 in cash" in the system rewards, Zhou Yi was a bit at a loss for words.

Where was the Lamborghini? Where was the Tomson Riviera apartment? Where was the super-rich benefactor?

But to be honest, 200,000 is really quite a lot; logically speaking, how many people in the country today have an annual income that reaches 200,000, let alone 120,000?

Every time I look at posts and photos online, I feel like it's a magical world.

In that world, everyone is a millionaire, and all kinds of luxury goods are just like daily necessities.

What? You can't even afford a donkey-hide leather bag? You poor wretch!

However, looking at reality, what is the national poverty alleviation standard? Students who have worked in poverty alleviation know it very well.

So Zhou Mouren soon started to feel happy; having money is certainly good, and he had spent quite a bit of his previous rewards through constant consumption over this period.

With 200,000 in cash arriving in his account, Zhou Mouren felt he was capable again.

He spent the entire night agonizing over whether he should go to Red Romance or the foot massage parlor...

Then, after waking up and eating breakfast the next day, he discovered a notice, a notice issued by the most direct "daddy" of the express delivery industry.

"In view of the recent chaos in the last mile of the express delivery industry, and... therefore, we are conducting a rectification of the express delivery industry!"

There are many requirements inside, such as preventing malicious competition within the industry and maintaining the health and stability of industry development.

There are also a series of issues such as placing packages in stations and smart lockers without user permission, protecting the rights and interests of couriers, strictly prohibiting the use of fines instead of management, and cleaning up irregular charges at the terminal.

This time, there will be a strict rectification!

Holy crap, Zhou Mouren was stunned after seeing this notice; this matter probably, maybe... has nothing to do with him, right?

No, it definitely has nothing to do with him; I just did something that everyone in the world wants to do!

However, thinking is one thing, but in fact, Zhou Yi also knew that his audience members must have attributed this matter to him, Zhou Mouren.

He didn't know what kind of inexplicable nicknames would follow after Bilibili Flat-headed Brother, District Bully, and B-Tyrant.

Zhou Yi was right; although his video had already dropped off the trending searches, the heat was still there!

Today, the "Postal Daddy" suddenly took action to rectify the express delivery industry, which made it very easy for everyone to think of him, Zhou Mouren.

Looking at the comment section of his video again, the audience members were now one after another saying that there should be no one complaining now.

"What about that 'clean and hygienic' person from yesterday? Why aren't you talking today? The Up Master has done it to this extent; could you still say he's targeting couriers?"

"Yeah, why aren't you talking now? Playing dead?"

"The remaining few express delivery companies: They were laughing happily there before, but now they can't laugh anymore."

Indeed, this sentence hit the nail on the head; originally, regarding the Market Supervision Department's administrative penalty on the three express delivery companies, the other companies were still rejoicing.

As a result, they didn't expect that when they woke up today, the "daddy" of the entire industry would take action!

When the "daddy" takes action, it's not a small matter; the entire industry is going to undergo a concentrated rectification!

This left President Fang speechless, but he didn't understand how a single incident that hit the trending searches could make the "daddy" step in!

But the Company soon figured it out.

"So, it's actually a coincidence?"

"Yes, President Fang, the newly revised Express Market Management Measures are currently soliciting opinions and should be released this year or next, so it is estimated that because of this, they are just taking advantage of this to rectify..."

The original Express Market Management Measures were released ten years ago, and it has been a bit long by now.

And the express delivery market has truly been developing wildly in the last ten years, and with the development of major e-commerce, it has eaten a wave of dividends.

So in order to grab the market, they have reached the point of using unscrupulous means.

Against this background, the new regulations are about to be introduced, and industry rectification is inevitable; it just happened that it hit the trending searches, everyone was filled with righteous indignation, and the "daddy" naturally followed the trend.

Therefore, it still has something to do with that person named A Yi, even if it was just a coincidence.

The days ahead will not be easy.

The same reaction occurred in the stations; the station owner was now completely numb.

He felt like he was dreaming; just because of his few words at the time, the whole industry is now going to be rectified.

As for quitting, that was a joke; this is the prosperous area of Guangming District, and he had to break his head to be able to open a station here.

There are many, many residential areas nearby; it is a truly good place!

That Zhou Yi is a grandfather figure; in the future, it's better to provoke him less.

A single spark ignited the entire industry, causing the express delivery industry to begin rectification from top to bottom.

The effect was unexpectedly good.

"Eh, yeah, I don't know what's going on recently, but the express deliveries in our Small Residential District are all being delivered to the door."

"Yeah, my legs and feet aren't good; I always asked them to deliver to the door before, but they wouldn't do it no matter what I said, and every time I had to wait for my child to come home to help me pick it up."

"When I asked them to deliver, they even said I only spent this little money and wanted delivery, saying I was dreaming, and also asked what if I wasn't there when they arrived."

"I am an eighty-year-old person, at home every day, but they just won't deliver to me, and they even told me to be considerate of them. Sigh, you say that when a person is old, living is meaningless; I can't even walk these few steps."

"Liu Popo, it's fine now; they deliver to your door, and they even call to ask if you are there before they come."

In a corner of the Small Residential District, several elderly people were chatting, and Liu Nainai was also among them.

Everyone was talking about this change!

Under this kind of industry rectification, the change was very rapid.

This also made Zhou Yi realize that what he did this time was very meaningful; at the very least, for these elderly people with poor legs and feet, it was a great thing!

He had previously ignored a problem: young people with good legs and feet certainly have no problem picking up express deliveries, but what about the elderly?

Even if the station is just outside the Small Residential District, how long does it take for an elderly person to walk out once? They have to rest for a while after walking for a bit.

They are actually the ones who need home delivery the most!

Besides, who stipulated that just because people are old, they can't shop online?

I originally had no intention of helping others, but after helping, it felt pretty good.

Going out to buy groceries; today I must have a good meal and drink a little wine. A beautiful day.

Inside the law firm, Fang Dazhuang looked at the notification on his phone, took his notebook out of his bag, and once again put a checkmark after a certain page.

Originally, he thought these were all impossible things, but now he discovered that everything was developing in a good direction.

Carefully putting the notebook back into his bag, Fang Dazhuang then shouted: "Xinran, Xinran, send out a notice, we are having a group meal at the firm today!"

He paused and then added: "My treat!"

Today is a happy day, and everyone has been busy for a long time because of the courier matter, so we must have a good meal!

We ordinary folks don't have that many formalities; when we celebrate, we just have a good meal. If we need to celebrate even better, then we have a hearty meal!

This is a tradition engraved in our blood for thousands of years; the people regard food as their heaven, even though in today's world of extremely abundant resources, we perhaps no longer need to worry about food like in the past.

However, eating remains the best way to celebrate!

Zhou Yi did not pay attention to the matters on the internet, yet the matters on the internet are always closely linked to reality!

For example, right now, the short video platforms that were originally very reserved and thought Zhou Yi did not have much value were a bit dumbfounded.

This is a video that completely relied on its own quality to break out of its circle and hit the trending list!

Do not ever think that breaking out of a circle is simple; sometimes we see some inexplicable names on the trending list.

For people who don't really come into contact with the influencer industry, it is truly a bit confusing.

Why do these people seem very famous now, but I just don't recognize them...

And those influencers who hit the trending list are basically all there because of emotional disputes!

You read that right, it is emotional disputes: so-and-so cheated on so-and-so, so-and-so found a mistress; in short, they were just showing off their love wildly, and then they went straight to war online.

Both sides wrote one Small Essay after another, making people dizzy to read.

Anyway, Zhou Mouren doesn't really believe in Small Essays anymore. He isn't targeting anyone in particular; it's mainly that if you don't have a shred of evidence in your entire post and just rely on your own narrative, this really cannot make people believe you.

It would be better to be straightforward and take responsibility for one's actions. Look at "Wo Da Xiansheng"—isn't that the perfect example of someone sending themselves in? How great.

But it is truly rare to see someone break out of the circle relying on this kind of hardcore video!

What does this mean? It means that many people will know that there is someone called A Yi who, for the sake of being pedantic, caused the entire courier industry to be rectified...

And his pedantry is truly hardcore pedantry, not like the previous videos that broke out of the circle on Bilibili, where someone chatted with a big shot, had a dialogue, and then said, "Surge, you waves of the future!"

Future waves my foot. Zhou Mouren is cheating, so he has great self-awareness. It can be said that half of it relies on the system, and half of it relies on Fang Dazhuang!

As for Zhou Yi himself?

He is just a tool man. He would never boast of himself as a wave of the future; he is just an ordinary person who got lucky.

It's not like those "waves of the future" who rely on their families to do some work at a construction site and then film a video to show themselves off.

This kind of popularity makes the platforms covetous, and the key is that they used to be able to steal videos.

Now no one dares to do that, because the other party will truly file a Lawsuit and call the police!

Once you repost it and see it's from Bilibili, well, the traffic just goes over there on its own.

Added to the previous short videos, this has also caused several platforms, whether they are short video or regular video platforms, to start planning—at the very least, they want the other party to have an account on their websites too!

Fame and fortune are always complementary.

"Xiao Yi, your phone is ringing again. What's going on? It's been ringing all day, aren't you going to answer it?"

Mother Zhou asked while cleaning.

Zhou Yi looked at the caller ID and shook his head, saying: "Not answering. These are all people who want me to advertise for them."

"But I don't want to advertise."

Once you have fame, you don't even need to look for fortune; it will come knocking on your door on its own. Many people have also started to predict how strong A Yi's current ability to attract money is.

He has never taken any advertisements in his previous videos, but this time he should, because he is exactly at the peak of his traffic.

This has also made many people start to feel sour, and Zhou Yi's comment section has gained some more inexplicable remarks.

"Making money is really simple now. Look at him, building a persona of being pedantic, and then he can make big money. It's really true that the rich just get richer."

"Yeah, we ordinary people can only watch. No way around it."

"But his persona is being pedantic. If he takes advertisements, how can he still be pedantic? There are too many merchants blowing up lately!"

These comments are becoming more and more numerous, even forming a direct discussion.

That is, can A Yi, who built a pedantic persona, take advertisements to make money?

Some think he can, as long as he is careful when taking them and doesn't take them indiscriminately, but others feel he cannot!

The reason is also very simple; some people directly wrote long comments to analyze it.

A Yi built a pedantic persona, so no matter what he does, he must stand on the moral high ground; only in this way can he be pedantic toward others.

Otherwise, if he cannot even stand on firm ground himself, how can he criticize others?

And once he takes advertisements, his moral persona will no longer be perfect, so he cannot take advertisements.

However, people go to great lengths to film videos to make money, which is understandable, but he just can't compromise his pedantic persona.

Seeing such discussions, Zhou Yi himself also felt a bit inexplicable.

It just felt like some people were more anxious about him making money than he was himself.

Although on the surface it was for his own good and for the sake of his persona, the meaning behind those words could be heard.

Look, even A Yi, who is famous for being pedantic, has to eat, so everything about being pedantic in this world is fake; it's all just a persona.

Regarding this, Zhou Yi quickly edited a sentence in his status update.

"I don't plan to take advertisements, but I don't plan to not take them for the sake of my persona; it's simply because I don't want to, so everyone, please shut up!"

It really is the emperor not being anxious while the eunuchs are.

After this reply came out, finally, no one said anything else, and those who had previously commented all sorts of things secretly deleted their comments.

But Zhou Yi knew that they would still stare at him like rats in the dark; once he had any problems, they would stir up a carnival!

However, just when everyone thought that the Up Master A Yi, this new "wave of the future," would take advantage of the popularity to constantly seek exposure, the other party remained just like before: he posted the video and then played dead.

Zhou Yi was certainly not playing dead; his life recently had been extremely routine.

Going to the Company to work every day actually made the General Manager feel very good; at the very least, our Chairman was willing to come to work.

At home, he was of course keeping his parents company, listening to their nagging about getting married.

Annoying? It certainly was a bit, but as long as he thought about those guys in books who possessed systems and couldn't even hear their parents' nagging anymore, he would feel very happy...

So, under Zhou Yi's persuasion, his father drove his mother to the outskirts of Jingzhou to go fishing.

After fishing, they would stop by a farmhouse restaurant to eat.

Since his father had driven the car away, Zhou Yi took the bus to and from work for these two days; he was never some "new wave" youth to begin with, so naturally, he wouldn't be so conceited as to refuse to ride the bus.

It was just that the situation today was a bit special; there had been a rainstorm last night, and although the rain had stopped today, there were large areas of standing water on the road.

Zhou Yi hesitated for a moment, but still went out; he had no intention of touching the special funds right now; he was a person who took things seriously, but he wouldn't go out of his way to be difficult.

That would truly be looking for trouble where there was none.

He walked all the way to the bus stop, where there were already quite a few people waiting for the bus.

There were old and young, big and small; this was the normal state of this society, rather than everyone being able to drive when they went out.

"Brother Zhou, you're taking the bus yourself too?"

Just this one sentence directly caused Zhou Mouren to be surrounded by onlookers.

The morning throat-moistening chapter is here; thanks to brothers Xieji Shanbai, Fei Siwen, Helian Xiaozhu, and Canshang Nian for their tips. I didn't write the ending of yesterday's chapter clearly, making everyone think it was just over like that; there definitely has to be a conclusion. That said, the new draft for the Express Market Management Measures has been soliciting opinions since January of this year; I don't know if it will be released this year or if it will have to wait until next year.
