Reversing Heavenly Gang: Starting with a Slap in the Face at Work

Ha ha ha ha--

A burst of hearty laughter erupted from Li Wei's office.

"Brother Wang Lang is truly a promising young man! I wish we had met sooner!" Li Wei exclaimed, slapping his thigh.

Wang Lang held the teacup in his hand, smiled, and said nothing.

This business communication went incredibly smoothly, without any of the problems I had imagined.

"Come, come, try this tea. It's made with our own goji berries—it's good stuff!"

Wang Lang's teacup was never empty, and Li Wei's face was beaming with enthusiasm.

However, the bubble rising above that radiant face read: "It costs five cents a pack, the color looks good, and it's enough to fool people."

Wang Lang quietly pushed the cup away a little and nodded: "As expected of wild black goji berries, the color is so pure."

"That's right, our black goji berries are all wild from the plateau, and the anthocyanins that dissolve in them are blue-purple!" Li Wei gestured with his hand.

Then a pop-up message appeared: "Silly boy, the ones you plant will also pop up this color."

Wang Lang could only laugh it off: "Mr. Li, I have an idea—since anthocyanins are our core selling point, could we send the product to a third-party testing agency to get an anthocyanin content report? With data backing us up, the conversion rate will at least double when we launch the product."

Li Wei's smile froze on his face, and the bubble above his head flickered:

"Send it for testing? The report we bought for 20,000 yuan was from a third party. What if another company finds something wrong..."

Li Wei picked up his teacup, took a sip, and bought himself two seconds to think. He finally came up with a solution: "Well... we did a test report before, and it passed all tests. I'll send it to you later."

"That's even better. We can use what's readily available, saving time." Wang Lang nodded.

Seeing Li Wei breathe a sigh of relief, Wang Lang continued to ask:

"Mr. Li, I have another question—what's the repurchase rate for our product?"

"Repurchase rate?" Li Wei blinked. "Very good. Many of our long-term customers buy on a quarterly basis."

bubble--

"There's no need for repeat purchases; one purchase is enough."

"That's great. If the repurchase rate is high, we can use a repurchase model for our advertising strategy, which is much more cost-effective than simply acquiring new users." Wang Lang said, casually typing two words on his phone's memo app, pretending to take notes.

Li Wei peeked out and took a look, but couldn't see clearly. However, he felt that the young man was very serious and was quite satisfied.

"Yes, yes, you're the professionals, you're in charge." Li Wei waved his hand. "I only have one request—speed. We're on a tight schedule here, so it would be best if it could be online next week."

"Mr. Li, is there some important matter at hand that you're in such a hurry?" Wang Lang asked casually.

"No, no, I just want to see results as soon as possible. When it comes to business, everyone's in a hurry." Li Wei waved his hand and smiled frankly.

bubble--

"Investors will be looking at the data next month, and if we miss this round, it'll all be for nothing."

"Okay, then we'll try our best to get it done." Wang Lang stood up. "President Li, I have one last thing to confirm—if any product quality complaints arise later on, how will the responsibility be divided?"

Li Wei's smile remained unchanged: "Our products are definitely fine, you can rest assured."

bubble--

"The contract states that the outsourced operations are fully responsible, and if anything goes wrong, it has nothing to do with me."

Wang Lang nodded: "Okay, I'll go back and check the contract terms. If there are no problems, we'll move forward."

"Great! Great!" Li Wei stood up, grabbed Wang Lang's hands and shook them vigorously. "Brother Wang Lang, it's been a pleasure working with you! I knew I was right to come to you!"

bubble--

"This one looks easy to fool, much less troublesome than the previous one."

Wang Lang smiled and said, "It's a pleasure working with you."

Stepping out of the office, the cloying scent of air freshener lingered in the corridor. After saying goodbye to Li Wei, Wang Lang stopped at the stairwell.

"What should I do?" Wang Lang thought to himself, "There's definitely something wrong with the order."

Answer or not?

If this order goes wrong, Laigebao will inevitably be implicated. So how can they absolve themselves of all responsibility in the process?

"License plate ending in 1357"

The car Wang Lang called arrived. He closed the door and got in, his mind preoccupied with the problem, without uttering a word.

A pair of shifty eyes peeked out from the rearview mirror, constantly scanning Wang Lang as if making a decision.

Seeing Wang Lang standing there blankly, not playing on his phone like the other passengers, but still unresponsive to his surroundings, the driver quietly reached for his navigation phone, turned down the volume, and steered off the bus to the right.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the car was parked downstairs at Wang Lang's company.

"Hello, we've arrived."

"Okay, I'll sweep there..."

The driver opened his phone; the screen saver displayed a QR code for receiving payment: "47 yuan."

"How much?" Wang Lang's price-sensitive instincts jolted him out of his reverie, and he almost screamed, "Master, how can it cost over forty yuan to drive from Nandi District to Shanbei District?"

"There's a bit of traffic..." the driver explained.

"It's four o'clock now, not rush hour, why is there a traffic jam?"

The foreman looked at the people coming and going below the office building and thought to himself, "Young people care about their reputation. If I make a big fuss, they'll have no choice but to do as I say."

So the driver opened the door and got out, his voice booming like thunder, "What are you doing? You've taken a ride and aren't going to pay?"

People passing by all looked over in this direction.

"Hmph, young man, hurry up and pay me." The driver thought smugly to Wang Lang.

He had used this trick many times, and every time the passengers had resigned themselves to their bad luck, blushing as they quickly paid the money and hurriedly left under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Wang Lang felt the gazes of those around him, took out his phone, and stepped forward to scan the QR code.

"Young man, if you had done this earlier, it would have saved everyone from this mess..." The driver said sarcastically as he saw Wang Lang pay.

Before the driver could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the notification sound of payment arrival: "23 yuan has been received this time."

"Are you messing with me?" The driver slammed the car door shut with a loud bang. "What do you mean?"

"The normal fare for this route is 23 yuan. You can take your own way if you want, I'll pay whatever I owe you." Wang Lang paid and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, the driver rushed forward and grabbed Wang Lang's arm. His voice lowered, and his tone became aggrieved: "You can't leave. Pay whatever the meter says. This money goes to the company. If you pay less, I'll have to pay the difference myself."

More and more people were staring at him, and the driver's tone became softer and softer, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Wang Lang couldn't imagine how fascinating the driver's inner monologue would be if he opened a truth-or-dare bubble right now.

No, the truth or dare bubble costs 100 yuan.

Not worth it, not worth it.

"Could he have already gotten into character and put himself in the shoes of a heartbroken lover who's been dumped?" Seeing the driver's mournful expression, Wang Lang decided to give him a taste of his own medicine.

"Everyone, I would like to ask you all to judge this matter," Wang Lang said, looking at the crowd.

Although there were many onlookers, not a single person was willing to look directly at Wang Lang, or even exchange a glance.

Gollum—

Wang Lang swallowed hard, composed himself, and felt a little uneasy speaking in front of so many strangers for the first time.

But the thought of giving in and transferring the 47 yuan as the driver demanded, and the driver spouting all sorts of nasty nonsense about him getting a good deal, suddenly made Wang Lang's blood boil and his head throb.

"How much does it usually cost to take a taxi from Nandi District to Shanbei District?" Wang Lang shouted, fueled by his youthful vigor.

The expected outcry from the crowd didn't materialize; instead, everyone just stood by indifferently. Everyone encounters similar situations, but when help is needed, what we encounter more often is cold indifference.

A surge of strength welled up in Wang Lang's heart. If no one else came to his aid, he would have no choice but to accept the loss and pay the money.

"About... twenty or thirty yuan." A voice came from the crowd.

Finally, someone spoke up for us.

"This driver charged me 47," Wang Lang said, taking the opportunity to explain the situation. "He saw me spacing out in the car, so he turned off the navigation and drove around in circles. Everyone, please tell me, how much should I pay?"

As the situation became clearer, discussions increased:

Not a single cent.

"Call the police! Call the police!"

"Drivers have it tough too."

The people the driver attracted to create momentum for him have now become the jury.

Seeing that more and more people were supporting Wang Lang, the trick that had always worked was no longer effective, so the driver simply let go of Wang Lang, got back into the car, and sped away.

[Reward: 100 Heavenly Spirit Points]

Hmm... this works too?

Protecting one's own interests has somehow become an act of rebelling against the Heavenly Gang?

Wang Lang couldn't help but recall a saying: "If a person claims to abide by the law, that person is very likely to be a scoundrel."

Really...

A little...

They've reversed the Heavenly Gang...
