No Zhou Jie Today

You open the shop early, expecting your regular delivery. However, today brings an unfamiliar face, and your normal morning routine is quickly disrupted.
Chapter intermediate

A Different Rep

The new delivery driver is clearly rushing and stressed. You try to keep things polite, but his rough handling of the goods is starting to cause real concern.
Chapter intermediate

Decision: Push or Compromise

You face a dilemma. Do you hold your ground and refuse to sign for missing goods, risking a confrontation with the stressed courier? Or do you compromise to keep the peace and handle the discrepancy later?
Chapter intermediate

Holding Firm

You decide not to back down. The invoice is wrong, and signing it means accepting the loss for your shop. You firmly refuse, prompting the already stressed Courier Liu to react.
Chapter intermediate

Compromising

You decide it's not worth the fight. To keep the peace and get the stressed courier back on the road, you agree to sign—but not without leaving a note to protect yourself.
Chapter intermediate

Getting Through It

With the invoice settled, you navigate the awkward physical mess left behind. You have to handle the heavy boxes alone, right as regular customers start arriving.
Chapter intermediate

Decision: How to End the Interaction

The tense delivery is finally over, and Courier Liu is packing up. You notice his deep exhaustion. Do you keep things strictly professional and wave him off, or do you try to extend a small gesture of goodwill?
Chapter intermediate

Strictly Professional

You decide to keep things strictly professional. The courier is clearly in a bad mood, and you have no desire to smooth things over. You send him off with standard politeness, letting the tension linger as he leaves.
Chapter intermediate

Building Rapport

Despite the courier's rigid and somewhat rude behavior, you decide to offer a small gesture of goodwill. You realize he is exhausted and under a lot of pressure. You grab a cold drink to break the ice before he leaves.
Chapter intermediate

Missing the Usual Rapport

With the stressful delivery behind you, you finally finish organizing the heavy boxes alone. Sitting in the quiet shop, you reflect on how much smoothly things run when your regular courier is around, and you realize the invisible value of trust in business.
