Bring a Huazi and I'll give you a 100 yuan tip!
When Young Master Xu snatched this order, he was secretly pleased, but also a little confused.
Logically, a food delivery order should disappear in seconds as soon as it's posted, given how fierce the competition is among riders these days.
But from the moment Young Master Xu found this order to the moment he snatched it, more than ten seconds had probably passed, yet he still managed to get it.
That's very illogical!
Young Master Xu clicked on the order details and finally discovered the problem.
There was a note on the food delivery order.
And the note was very unusual.
The more unusual a food delivery order, the more likely it is to have problems.
Perhaps that's why other riders didn't snatch this order when they saw it!
[Other notes: Please bring me a carton of Huazi cigarettes, I'll give you a hundred yuan tip. If you can't, don't accept the order, thank you!]
Young Master Xu couldn't help but frown, secretly blaming himself for getting a little carried away!
Orders like this shouldn't be accepted; there's definitely a trap.
Putting aside everything else, a hundred yuan tip alone is outrageous.
What normal person would give a 100 yuan tip for a food delivery?
It's a trap, right?
How could there be such a good thing?
The key is, he has to bring Huazi cigarettes.
Even thinking with his toes, he knew there must be something going on.
Although he hadn't heard other riders tell him about similar food delivery orders, he estimated it wouldn't fall outside a few possibilities.
Forget it, he'd make a call first and see.
Young Master Xu dialed the customer's number from the system.
"Hello, I'm the rider who accepted your order. I see you mentioned bringing a pack of Huazi cigarettes, is that right?" He deliberately said 'pack' instead of 'carton' to test the waters.
The other end immediately retorted, "Not a pack, it's a carton of Huazi!"
Young Master Xu calmly said, "Can you transfer the money to me first? Firstly, a carton of Huazi is too expensive, I don't dare to pay for it upfront, and secondly, I don't have enough money in my card."
An impatient voice immediately came from the other end, "Can't you just pay for it upfront? I don't have time to transfer money to you right now!"
"What if I pay for it upfront and then can't find you?" Young Master Xu continued calmly, "This kind of thing can't be returned, right?"
"That won't do, it's clearly written on the order!"
"If you can't bring it, why did you accept the order?"
"Hurry up and pay for it upfront for me, stop dawdling!"
"If you can't do it, then get another rider to do it!"
"A carton of cigarettes isn't a big deal! Hurry, hurry!"
The voice on the other side grew increasingly impatient, as if accepting his food delivery order meant being responsible for him for life, sounding very self-righteous.
Young Master Xu's lips curved slightly, "Well, let me put it this way, we riders are not obligated to bring things for customers."
"Then just cancel it!" The person on the other end sounded very annoyed, shouting.
Young Master Xu's tone became more playful, "I can't cancel it, but you can cancel it on your end, you can get a refund!"
Just then, he heard two people whispering on the other end of the phone. Although he couldn't make out what they were saying, he guessed they weren't discussing anything good.
"You can't do that!"
"You accepted the order but haven't delivered it for a long time!"
"What do you say we do?"
There was a voice on the phone, and the other party was still clinging on, showing no intention of canceling the order.
This made him even more certain there was a trap.
"I can deliver the meal to you normally, that's no problem!"
"But if you don't give me the money in advance, I definitely won't bring you the Huazi cigarettes!"
Young Master Xu, on the contrary, became interested, wanting to see what tricks the other party was going to play.
Experience, sometimes, is gained this way; he wanted to broaden his horizons.
The other side seemed to ponder for a moment, then spoke, "If not, can you go to a designated place to buy it for me?"
Designated place?
Young Master Xu's pupils contracted slightly, feeling he had heard the key point.
Interesting!
"If I go to your designated place, I won't have to pay upfront, right?" Young Master Xu asked, pretending not to understand anything.
"Go to the place I designate to buy it, and then mention my name. I often buy there, and they'll give you a discount."
"You pay upfront first, and after you pay, I'll give you a 100 yuan tip, how about that?"
The other side seemed to be patiently trying to persuade Young Master Xu.
Young Master Xu couldn't help but snort coldly, not wanting to play along with the other party anymore.
"Didn't I make it very clear? I won't pay upfront!"
"Either we pretend this never happened, and I just deliver the food to you."
"Or you transfer the money to me first!"
The other party also seemed to be losing patience, saying ungraciously, with foul language.
"That's impossible, I'm giving you a 100 yuan tip, you wouldn't earn that much delivering food for an entire afternoon!"
"I say, is there something wrong with you? Why wouldn't you earn money when you have the chance?"
Young Master Xu couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
He checked the address in the order details and found that it was indeed not specific enough, only stating the building number in the Residential Complex.
At this point, he felt he had seen through the other party's trick.
They would make the rider buy cigarettes at a designated place, and the Huazi cigarettes the rider would get would inevitably be fake.
By the time the rider delivered to the customer, they probably wouldn't be able to contact the customer anymore.
The helpless rider could only go back to return the cigarettes, but the seller would never let them return it.
In the end, the rider would have spent the money for a carton of Huazi on a carton of fake cigarettes, and there would be no place to complain.
To even scam riders, who work so hard in all weather to earn money and support their families, that's truly despicable!
"Alright then, where do you want me to buy it?" Young Master Xu said with a slight smile, already having an idea in mind.
When it's time to act, he should act. Getting rid of one menace would save many people from suffering losses in the future.
The other end seemed very happy and immediately gave Young Master Xu an address, telling him to buy the cigarettes there.
"Don't worry!"
"Once you arrive, I'll give you the tip, I would never lie to you!"
Young Master Xu scoffed, thinking to himself that it would be a miracle if he wasn't lying to him.
Ending the call, Young Master Xu didn't put away his phone but instead directly dialed Officer Shen's number.
At this moment, Officer Shen was organizing case files.
Without mentioning anything else, Young Master Xu alone had added several cases to his plate in the past two days.
The phone rang, Officer Shen picked it up and looked, instantly jolting.
Young Master Xu!!!
It was Young Master Xu again!
Why was he calling again?
Had something happened again?
At this moment, he felt that his old friend Wang Xudong's warning to him was still increasing in value.
This Young Master Xu, just as Wang Xudong had said, really did contact him non-stop every day, as if he had a magnet on him that attracted all sorts of things.
Although he was a police officer and an absolute materialist, at this moment he was somewhat shaken.
Otherwise, should he find a master to take a look?
There must be something about him!
"Young Master Xu, what's happened again?" Officer Shen relaxed a bit, asking with a wry smile.
Young Master Xu's answer was self-assured.
"I want to report a crime!"
