Why do they all know this delivery guy?
The vendor told Xu Ning that the customer for the Hua Nan Building order had applied for a refund.
The reason for the refund was 'spilled food'.
The vendor certainly didn't agree to the refund, but after the customer appealed, the Huangtuan Platform system automatically processed it.
The food was definitely not damaged when it was handed to the rider. Now that this order resulted in a loss, the vendor would definitely seek out Xu Ning.
"There was definitely no spill. I can show you the photos I took when I delivered it," Xu Ning sighed.
He could at least guarantee that when he placed the food at the front desk, there was no spillage.
"I suspect it's very likely that the person who ordered takeout just wanted to take advantage!"
"Now, let's see what you want to do?"
"If my appeal goes through, the system will deduct money from you."
"Or you can just accept your bad luck and retrieve the food for me; it'll just be a wasted trip."
The vendor said, feeling a bit helpless.
Although neither of these options was particularly favorable to Xu Ning, the platform's rules simply favored the customer.
Xu Ning understood the vendor; after all, the system had already refunded, and retrieving the food was the only way to avoid a loss.
If Xu Ning retrieved the food and brought it back to the store, he wouldn't have his money deducted by the system; it would just be two wasted trips.
He couldn't help but narrow his eyes, feeling very displeased.
Deduction was definitely not an option; after a ten-thousand-fold amplification, it wouldn't be a small sum.
He just didn't know if privately transferring the cost of the meal to the vendor would count as a violation.
However, the customer who ordered this takeout was definitely problematic.
No, he couldn't just let it go!
If it were anyone else, Xu Ning might truly be at a loss as to what to do with her.
But then again, the person who ordered takeout was an employee of Haoding Group!
He got on his electric bike and once again rode towards the Hua Nan Building.
Arriving on the 24th floor, he entered the company and directly asked the receptionist at the front desk, "Which one is Ms. Zhang, who just ordered takeout?"
Suddenly, at that moment, Xu Ning thought of a question.
Wasn't the receptionist at Haoding Group Bai Ruolin?
He had even pulled Bai Ruolin in to help during the matchmaking business earlier.
Why had the front desk now become an unfamiliar young girl?
However, he could ask about this later; for now, he needed to solve the food problem.
Although the young girl at the front desk found it strange, she still pointed to the office area inside.
"The workstation by the third window."
"May I ask what you need?"
Xu Ning nodded, didn't answer, and walked straight inside.
"Ms. Zhang, you applied for a refund for the takeout earlier, right?"
"Was it because of a spill?"
"Where is your food now?"
Sitting at that workstation was a young woman who looked like she had just graduated from college, dressed very elegantly.
She turned her head and said in a calm tone, "I ate it!"
Xu Ning couldn't help but frown.
"You ate it?"
"Why did you cancel the order after eating it?"
The girl glared at Xu Ning, raising her voice, "Why can't I cancel the order if it was spilled?"
At this point, several employees in the large office were drawn by her voice and looked over curiously.
"If it was spilled, you can cancel the order!"
"But after canceling, you can't eat it, because after the cancellation, the food no longer belongs to you!"
"Also, when I delivered this takeout, it was definitely in perfect condition!"
"When I placed it at the front desk, your company's receptionist can testify; if the food was damaged, she wouldn't have let me leave it there."
"You can't have your cake and eat it too!"
Xu Ning narrowed his eyes, saying expressionlessly, his voice carrying an irrefutable tone.
The other employees had clearly understood the cause of the matter and couldn't help but whisper.
"She really loves to take petty advantages."
"Exactly, if it was really spilled, apply for a refund, but don't eat it!"
"What spill? There was no spill at all; she just wanted a free meal!"
"Our group's salary isn't low, so why is she so stingy and selfish?"
"Forget it, let's not talk about it."
The girl seemed to have her thoughts exposed, and as if she heard her colleagues' whispers, she became angry and embarrassed.
"So what if I ate it?"
"It was clearly your fault, why should I keep waiting hungry?"
"How ridiculous!"
"Hurry up and get out! If you don't leave, do you believe I'll complain about you?"
Her tone was very high, even a bit hysterical.
Xu Ning kept his eyes narrowed, and a slightly mocking curve even appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I don't want to waste any more words with you."
"I have proof that the food was fine when it was delivered."
"Now, return the refunded meal cost to the vendor, and this matter will be settled."
Dealing with such people often made him feel truly frustrated.
So, he wanted to quickly resolve the issue and leave early to avoid further annoyance.
"You're dreaming!"
"I'm not going to return it!"
"Get out!"
"If you harass me again, I'll call the police right now!"
Perhaps she truly felt it was too embarrassing to argue with a rider about takeout in front of her colleagues; her facial expression even became distorted as she yelled angrily.
And just then, the door of an inner office opened, and Ding Zehui walked out in surprise.
He had heard the commotion outside from his office; this was a company, not a wet market.
But as soon as he stepped out, he saw one of the company's employees yelling at a rider in a yellow vest.
Why did this rider's figure look so familiar?
He walked a few steps forward suspiciously and then saw Xu Ning's handsome face.
"Whoa, why are you here?"
"Delivering takeout?"
Ding Zehui's expression was incredibly vivid, as if he had seen an alien.
That's right!
The group had been established for so long, but Xu Ning, the "Chairman," had never visited once.
He didn't do business, didn't manage, and dumped everything on him, acting completely as a hands-off boss.
But today, he actually rode an electric bike to deliver takeout to the group!
This was too funny!
"Yes, I'm here to deliver takeout!"
"What, not welcome?"
"Or do you not allow riders in here?"
Xu Ning laughed heartily and went up to give Ding Zehui a punch in the chest.
At this moment, from another office, Bai Ruolin, who had just been promoted from receptionist to HR Manager, also walked out.
Seeing Xu Ning in a yellow vest, she looked as if she had seen a ghost.
"Mr... Mr... Mr. Xu..."
Xu Ning smiled at Bai Ruolin and said, "Xiao Bai has become even prettier, huh!"
"I didn't see you at the front desk earlier and thought you had resigned!" Looking at the HR Manager's office sign on the door, Xu Ning smiled and said, "So you got promoted! Then you'll have to treat everyone!"
Because Bai Ruolin had worked as a receptionist at the matchmaking agency for a month, she was quite familiar with Xu Ning and wasn't overly reserved.
"That depends on whether Mr. Xu has the time."
At this moment, the female employee who had ordered the takeout watched Xu Ning, Ding Zehui, and Bai Ruolin chatting and laughing, with Xu Ning even having a stronger presence than them, and she was completely dumbfounded!
What was going on?
Why did they all know this takeout rider?
