Chapter 318: It Took Effect
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When he heard the word “money”, Little Brother Le’s will to resist wasn’t as strong as before. His mind suddenly became more alert, and his eyes rolled around.
“Ahem, you said that you’ll pay me by work time. Are you going to pay according to the local salary or our salary?
When Big Brother Le heard this, he knew that he was tempted, so he said with great mercy,
“I’ll pay you according to the local salary.”
Little Brother Le immediately took out his phone and checked the local hourly salary. He saw that it was 20 yuan, but that was before the conversion. If he converted it again, it would be more than 100 yuan.
If he were to pick up items for seven or eight hours a day, he could earn more than a thousand yuan. If he were to pick up items for a week, he would have almost collected enough money to draw from his card.
So, picking up trash was quite a good thing?
But this was picking up trash. If word got out and his gang of scoundrels found out, then where would he put his face?
However, if he didn’t pick up the garbage, he would have no money. If he didn’t have money, he wouldn’t be able to draw a card, and he would still be laughed at by them…
So, should he go or not?
Little Brother Le’s expression kept changing, and he couldn’t make a decision no matter how hard he struggled. Big Brother Le continued to tempt him,
“I heard that although picking up trash sounds a little sloppy, a highly efficient person can sell a bottle they pick up in an hour for a few dollars.” Little Brother Le’s eyebrows moved, but he was still hesitating.
Big Brother Le added,
“To encourage your work efficiency, if you pick up more than ten pounds of plastic bottles a day, it’ll be considered a completed performance. I can reward you with an extra sum of money, which is one-third of your salary for the day.”
One-third. That would be a few hundred.
“Deal!” After hearing this, Little Brother Le finally agreed.
Thus, Big Brother Le stuffed him with a large sack, a pair of gloves, and a mask before chasing him out of the house.
Looking at the tightly closed door, Little Brother Le’s mind went blank for two seconds before he faintly realized that he had been tricked by his big brother again.
He held the sack in his hand and walked around the entrance like a wilted rabbit. Then, he gritted his teeth and walked out of the community. So what if he was scammed? Although his big brother had a bad personality, he always kept his word. When he really completed the mission, he didn’t believe that his big brother would dare to cheat on his money.
Therefore, Little Brother Le started his scrap picking journey with grief and indignation.
Big Brother Le, who had packed up his younger brother, finally felt his ears quieten down. Just as he sat back down in front of the chessboard and was about to continue studying the game, his phone rang again.
Big Brother Le took a look at the name that jumped on the screen and sighed.
“I’ve already taken the annual leave. Why can’t I have a few peaceful days after running to such a far place?”
He put down the chess piece and picked up the phone. His college roommate’s voice came from the other side.
“Youngest, I have good news for you.”
Big Brother Le started school a year earlier, so he was the youngest in the dormitory when he was in college. His roommates were used to calling him “Youngest”. It had been so many years since he graduated that he still maintained this habit.
“It’s you, the youngest. You’re amazing the moment you make a move.” His roommate praised him like crazy. “There’s a rumor from the system just now. It says that the person at the top has paid attention to the recent incident and asked the online publicity department to come up with a specific plan in the shortest time. Youngest, this reform should be a big deal. It’ll probably cover all online platforms.”
Naturally, Big Brother Le wasn’t the only one who had received the news early on. Rich and well-connected tycoons like Ren Rong had even received the news a day earlier than Big Brother Le.
Compared to the Le family, an internet company like the Dahong Group would, to a certain extent, rely more on the various policies launched by the government. In particular, this incident was obviously targeted at internet companies like them.
Therefore, Ren Rong immediately paid attention to it the moment he received the news.
At this moment, the plan that Zhai Jing had sent him a few days ago appeared in his mind. He thought about it for a while, then asked Zhao Liang to find the proposal so he could read it again and think it through. He made some cuts on some of the terms. Then, he copied the proposal and handed it to the online publicity department..
