She stared at the dozen plump koi and nearly burst out laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen opened the living room door, slipped on slippers, and plopped onto the sofa, pulling out his phone to check project group messages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lucky Card event had been live for a week, distributing 1,400 grand prizes of 4,999 hua yuan each, with 2,745 users collecting all five cards—averaging 31,000 hua yuan per person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-market price for the “Diligence” card had dropped to 2,000 hua yuan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With only nine days left until the draw, at the current rate of 400 new users completing the set daily, the total will reach 6,400—each person gets 13,000 hua yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By 11 p.m. on January 31, over 92 million users had joined the Lucky Card event, with daily active users at 40 million. After the “Dialogue” program airs, it’ll likely attract even more new users.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Yi sent him a battle plan for the coming days, covering Meituan Food Delivery’s food safety, poor service, delayed delivery, damaged meals, slow customer service, refund difficulties, and dismissive complaint handling—each day, one new exposé, continuing until Lunar New Year’s Eve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with the sharp drop in users ordering delivery during the holiday, Meituan Food Delivery would be besieged by negative news for nearly twenty days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And twenty days is enough to change user app habits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Spring Festival, Meituan’s chances of winning back these users would be slim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Liyun urgently summoned Tang Yongbo, head of Taobao Food Delivery, to draft rectification and penalty measures for merchant hygiene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ma Zong, I’ve coordinated with the Business Development team—we’ll complete photo uploads and reviews by tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Yongbo reported.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why didn’t you do this before?” Ma Liyun demanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Verification was too hard—required massive manpower and resources,” Tang Yongbo explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then how did Kuai Pao manage it?” Ma Liyun asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kuai Pao’s riders are full-time employees with base salaries and reward bonuses; ours are temporary workers—reporting merchants gives them no benefit. Also, Kuai Pao mandates platform delivery, while Taobao has 40% self-delivery merchants—reporting is much harder.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Yongbo smiled bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fortunately, Taobao Food Delivery hasn’t expanded beyond Hangcheng—if it were competing with Meituan and Baidu in North China, it would’ve been crushed by this public outcry too,” Ma Liyun said grimly, dissatisfied with Tang Yongbo’s performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking with Wang Zhongpu, Li Yanhong also adjusted his review system and raised entry thresholds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, a current Meituan employee gave an interview, openly exposing how field managers took bribes from merchants and used the same business license to open multiple stores on the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of these merchants operated without dine-in areas, specializing in fried rice and skewers; with multiple stores per license, the variety of dishes was chaotic, ingredients piled together, making cleanliness nearly impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the report, Wang Xin finally understood—yesterday was only the beginning; Kuai Pao’s attack hadn’t stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One scandal hadn’t faded when another surged—Meituan was trending again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Xin was overwhelmed, even called Ma Liyun, begging him to pressure Weibo and lower the trending rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Ali was negotiating investment in Sina—if Ma Liyun spoke up, Cao Weiguo would surely oblige.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to his shock, despite Ali being a Meituan investor, Ma Liyun flatly refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Xianzhuang Technology Park, Building 9.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen pulled down the curtain and summoned the system panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Human Dao Firewood counter read 229,719—enough to synthesize 2,297 strands of Divine Dao Firewood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His physical attribute was 90.56—just one step from 100.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Synthesize!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, over two hundred thousand strands of Human Dao Firewood became over two thousand strands of Divine Dao Firewood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden mist materialized out of thin air, then flowed into his brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within seconds, his physical attribute rose to 100; a new talent appeared on the panel: [Golden Muscle, Jade Bone], enhancing bones, muscle fibers, and skin tissue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The circular patterns in his eyes seemed thicker now, radiating a cold metallic luster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining 1,353 strands of Divine Dao Firewood were synthesized into 13 strands of Immortal Dao Firewood, all added to his spirit—raising it from 100.01 to 100.14.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beginner phase was over!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Chen Yansen silently grumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over two hundred thousand employees’ monthly contributions of Human Dao Firewood were a drop in the ocean for enhancements beyond 100.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raise salaries!
