Thanks to convenient mobile internet platforms, more Chinese people now pay others to carry out trivial tasks on their behalf.
Gong Hongping from southwest China's Chongqing makes a living by running errands for clients he gets through an online platform. The first order he received in August was to drive a car to its annual vehicle check, as the car owner was busy.
On August 1, Gong picked up the car from the client at 8:00 a.m., and completed the mission at about 11:00 a.m. He said he earned RMB 300 from this order.
Gong now works full time running errands for other people. This job role covers a lot of bases, ranging from buying goods, delivering documents, queuing, driving, shopping on behalf of clients and so on.
Now, such agency services have emerged in various fields to help with every aspect of a person's life.
Those involved in this new industry make a profit by selling their time, while those who pay for these services feel like they've had the added value of saved time, Chen believed.
