When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

the other side.

With the help of a mysterious force, Wang Donglai arrived in the capital city as soon as possible.

After the car accident, Xu Zhibin was immediately taken to the hospital. Once his condition stabilized, he was immediately transferred to Beijing.

When Wang Donglai arrived at the hospital, he happened to run into Uncle Hat, who had come all the way from Tianjin.

Such a big thing must have alarmed the higher-ups.

Although Xu Zhibin is only the general manager of Xinghuo Express, Xinghuo Express is backed by Galaxy Technology, making it very wealthy and powerful.

They are recruiting couriers on a large scale across the country, buying venues, and building delivery points.

Not to mention the current fierce price war in the express delivery industry.

As a result, at this time, the general manager of Xinghuo Express was involved in a car accident in Tianjin.

Anyone's first reaction would be that there's a conspiracy.

This has greatly damaged Tianjin's city image.

This is why Xu Zhibin was transferred to a hospital in Beijing immediately after his condition stabilized.

"Please cooperate fully with our investigation. Only in this way can we solve the case."

"If I ask you any more questions and you still use trade secrets as an excuse, I can only assume that you are not cooperating with our work."

From a distance, Wang Donglai could hear an uncle in a hat lecturing Xu Zhibin's assistant.

His expression was serious, and his tone was even more stern.

Wang Donglai walked straight over without stopping.

"I think as a victim, I shouldn't be treated like a criminal suspect during interrogation, right?"

His calm and indifferent tone directly shattered the atmosphere that Uncle Hat could have created.

"You're handling this case with a hat on, who gave you the right to interrupt..."

Before he could finish speaking, he recognized Wang Donglai.

It must be said that Wang Donglai's face is quite distinctive.

Furthermore, with Galaxy Technology's online popularity, even though Wang Donglai doesn't appear in the media much, his photos and videos of various activities have appeared in every corner of the domestic media.

The world's youngest academician, and also the richest man.

It's easy to imagine how much attention such a title would attract.

Therefore, the man in the hat naturally recognized Wang Donglai immediately. The words he was about to say suddenly caught in his throat, and he couldn't say them, which made him look quite embarrassed.

At this moment, Uncle Hat, who was clearly the leader of the team, walked over.

"Mr. Wang, we received a report in Tianjin and learned of this matter. Our leaders attached great importance to it and gave specific instructions."

"On one hand, they are collecting evidence at the scene, and on the other hand, they are conducting a surprise interrogation of the perpetrator. We came here to see if we can get some clues from the victim."

“Our young colleague is also very concerned about the case and eager to find clues. He is a bit hasty in his work, so please forgive him, Mr. Wang.”

A leader is a leader; he covered up what had just happened with a single word.

This makes it difficult for them to bring up what just happened.

Wang Donglai did not respond to his superior's words immediately. Instead, he looked at his assistant and asked, "How is Xu Zhibin doing right now?"

"Boss, Mr. Xu has just come off the operating table. According to the diagnosis, he has four broken ribs and suffered a head injury with some bruising. He is still unconscious, but all his data have stabilized and he may wake up at any time."

The assistant also noticed Wang Donglai's actions and immediately reported Xu Zhibin's situation.

The leader in the hat remained expressionless, showing no sign of resentment at being ignored.

After hearing his assistant's report, Wang Donglai nodded and said, "According to the group's arrangements, Xu Zhibin should have security personnel. Were there any prior notices or precautions? The group will conduct an internal investigation into this matter."

After saying this to his assistant, Wang Donglai turned to the leader in the hat and said, "We reported the accident to the police immediately after it happened. We trust Jincheng and all the leaders."

"If we have any leads, we will contact you. If there is any progress in the case, we would also like to know if you can let us know."

The leader in the hat glanced at Wang Donglai and said, "Mr. Wang, thank you very much for your trust. We will do our best to solve the case."

"However, before the case is solved, we hope that this matter will not spread online, as it will not be of much benefit to the investigation. This is something that the leader specifically mentioned before I came here."

Wang Donglai calmly said, "We live in an era of ubiquitous social media. For something this big, I can only promise Galaxy Technology that we will not actively publicize it."

The leader in the hat smiled and said, "With Mr. Wang's words, that's enough."

His smile was full of confidence.

After exchanging a few more words, the man in the hat left the hospital.

At this moment, Xu Zhibin, who had been in a deep sleep, also woke up.

"I've come close to death, so please share your thoughts now."

"If you feel this road is too dangerous and regret it, I can understand."

There were only Wang Donglai and Xu Zhibin in the ward.

Wang Donglai looked at Xu Zhibin, who was dressed in a hospital gown, wrapped up tightly, and receiving medication, and said this with a very serious expression.

Xu Zhibin, lying on the bed, had a somewhat vacant look in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something, or as if he wasn't thinking about anything at all.

He did not respond to Wang Donglai's question immediately.

After a long while, Xu Zhibin finally spoke in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Donglai, do you know what I've been busy with lately?"

"I traveled all over the country to see how the couriers of STO Express, YTO Express, ZTO Express, and Yunda Express work, how fast their logistics are, what their service level is, what their employee benefits are, and the stories behind them."

“Before, I always thought what you were doing was cool because I felt you were different from other bosses.”

“I feel that you have a heroic spirit, so I studied hard, just to stay by your side.”

"But I realized I was wrong."

"I didn't know you at all before."

“You are indeed different from those bosses, and not only because you pay your employees high salaries.”

"It's the reason behind your high salaries that's the real core."

"There are over a million people working in the express delivery industry in China, but only a handful of them have the five social insurances and one housing fund."

"And this small percentage was only achieved thanks to SF Express and JD.com."

"They are truck drivers who carry the livelihood of their entire families. In order to meet the delivery deadline, they have to travel more than 2,000 kilometers in a day and a night. They have to work their lives off a pot of millet porridge and eight eggs!"

"Shipping costs have been squeezed to a level that barely makes ends meet; they are truly overdrawing their life force to make money."

"Some deliverymen work in all kinds of weather, without a break for a month, and easily walk more than 20,000 steps a day, even when they are using tricycles."

"As a result, their monthly take-home pay is only five or six thousand."

"Negative reviews, lost packages, returns, bizarre customers—there are just too many!"

"The sorting center is lit up all night, and you only make 200 yuan a night. If you're not a tough guy, you have to work hard."

"Women were used like men, and men were used like livestock. There wasn't a single moment of rest all night." "Sweat splattered on the ground, each drop reflecting a tired face and numb eyes."

"There is no easy task along this route. Even at the last delivery station, from morning till night, even during mealtimes, consumers will come to pick up packages. Picking, coding, and collecting packages are all done from dawn till dusk. Each store keeps one person completely occupied, with no free time whatsoever."

“I understand now. This is a systemic problem; it was flawed from the very beginning.”

"The more I understand this point, the more I admire you, Donglai."

As Xu Zhibin continued his narration, his tone became increasingly serious.

"Let our employees live with more dignity, and let their efforts be rewarded as they deserve."

"This is how the world should be, not the way it is now."

"More efficient and higher-quality services, coupled with more competitive salaries, are not mutually exclusive."

"There are always people who dream of something cheap, good, and fast; that's just wishful thinking."

"..."

Wang Donglai listened quietly to Xu Zhibin's speech.

Xu Zhibin spoke at length, in great detail, and in a rather tedious manner.

However, Wang Donglai listened very attentively.

Because he could tell that Xu Zhibin had really put in a lot of hard work and that he was speaking from the heart.

After Xu Zhibin finished speaking, Wang Donglai said, "Only with this level of awareness and understanding can you be considered barely qualified, and I can now entrust Xinghuo Express to you with peace of mind."

"Okay, let's talk about the car accident. What are your thoughts on it?"

Wang Donglai abruptly changed the subject, bringing up the car accident and inquiring about Xu Zhibin.

Xu Zhibin thought for a moment before slowly saying, "Something's wrong with this car accident. The truck appeared too suddenly, as if it was waiting for me and aiming to crash into me."

"Do you have anyone you suspect?" Wang Donglai asked again.

Xu Zhibin now had a long time to think.

"I can't be sure either. On the surface, it could be the CEOs of other courier companies. After all, we started the price war first, which caused them to lose a lot of profits. We also refused all their requests for negotiation, which undoubtedly offended them to the core."

"From this perspective, they are very likely to be the ones."

"However, given their current status, I don't think they would act so recklessly or irrationally. For their position, the risks and rewards are disproportionate, so their suspicion is relatively low."

"The rest we need to look for in the express delivery industry, such as express delivery station owners who are unwilling to let us take away their business, or big hands that want to get in."

"..."

Listen to Xu Zhibin's analysis, which is clear and logical, as if unraveling an intricate mystery.

Wang Donglai nodded in satisfaction and said, "The fact that you can say such things and make such an analysis proves that your brain isn't broken and your thinking ability is still there. Not bad!"

"Take good care of your injury. I'm handing over Xinghuo Express to you. You'll receive all the necessary support. I'm only concerned with the results."

"Don't worry about the car accident. It will definitely be investigated and you will get justice."

"After this incident, don't resist the security arrangements made by the group anymore. The necessary protective measures should still be in place."

"This is not just for show; it's about being responsible for our business, our own safety, and the company."

In fact, Galaxy Technology had already implemented security measures for certain groups of people.

The group includes both management and R&D personnel.

This is both to ensure their safety and to prevent any leaks.

Galaxy Technology's technology is extremely valuable.

Xu Zhibin and others had previously resisted this security measure, feeling that it was making a mountain out of a molehill.

They are not important people at all, so they don't need security at all.

This incident dealt Xu Zhibin a heavy blow.

So, upon hearing Wang Donglai say this, Xu Zhibin obediently nodded, no longer arguing or refusing as before.

After comforting Xu Zhibin at the hospital, Wang Donglai left.

Now that he had arrived in the capital, Wang Donglai decided to stay there for two days.

After all, Beijing is also one of the leading scientific research centers in the country, attracting top talents and young experts alike.

night.

Wang Donglai then received a phone call.

Jack Ma's phone call.

"Mr. Ma, what brings you here to call me?"

Wang Donglai joked with Jack Ma.

"Mr. Wang, I'm in Beijing. How about we sit down for a while and have a chat?"

Jack Ma readily extended an invitation to Wang Donglai.

Hearing Jack Ma say that, Wang Donglai became interested, but still declined, saying, "Mr. Ma, we've known each other for a long time, you know me."

"If you can talk on the phone, then talk on the phone. If you can't talk on the phone, then you can talk in person later."

When Jack Ma heard Wang Donglai say that, his face twitched.

How could he not understand what Wang Donglai meant?

If you have something to say, say it; otherwise, hang up.

If it's something important, then go to his place!
Although he felt frustrated, Jack Ma didn't show it. Instead, he acted as if they were very familiar with each other.

"Mr. Wang, I heard that the general manager of your company's Xinghuo Express was in a car accident. How is the situation? I know some top medical teams. If you need them, I can introduce you."

Wang Donglai politely declined, saying, "Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Ma. I will contact you again if needed."

"Mr. Wang, this matter is rather strange. It just so happens to be during a time of fierce price wars in the express delivery industry. I've been asked to act as a middleman. What do you think?"

Jack Ma did not act arrogantly in front of Wang Donglai, but instead revealed his purpose for coming.

"Mr. Ma, please speak frankly."

Wang Donglai did not express his opinion directly, but instead let Jack Ma speak first.

"First of all, this incident was definitely not done by Lao Yu and his group."

"We are all people of status. At this point, it's neither reasonable nor moral for us to do such a thing. I think Mr. Wang can understand that."

"Old Yu and the others were worried that President Wang would suspect them, but they didn't have your contact information, so they came to me and asked me to act as the middleman to clear up the misunderstanding."

Upon hearing Jack Ma's words, Wang Donglai did not say anything, but waited for Jack Ma to continue.

Because Wang Donglai knows Jack Ma very well, he wouldn't call him specifically for this matter; he must have other plans.

As expected! (End of Chapter)
