Chapter 1 Picking up leaks
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Wu Bei took a plane from Shijiazhuang to Hainan on a business trip.
As early as half a month ago, the leader asked all the company's full-time tour guides to fill out a "questionnaire on work willingness during the Spring Festival holiday".
The content includes, but is not limited to, "Are you willing to lead a group during the Spring Festival holiday?", "Would you like to pick up a local group or a foreign group?", "On which day of the holiday is it acceptable to start working?"
It is called respecting the wishes of employees, but as we all know, before and after the Spring Festival has always been the peak period for family travel, and there is often a shortage of tour guides.
Of course, there are policies before and countermeasures later, and experienced and courageous old employees can usually find a variety of legitimate reasons that people can't force, such as a child is sick, the elderly have a birthday, or they can't come back when they are abroad, or even worse, they simply don't take it, and they just find an excuse to deal with the past afterwards.
However, the above situation will not happen to Wu Bei at all, she is one of the few employees who filled in the willingness form "willing to pick up foreign groups at any time", not because she wants to show how much she loves her work in front of the leader, nor because she is particularly short of money, purely because she does not like to spend the New Year at home.
Wu Bei is a single-parent family, in this era of continuous awakening of female subjectivity, there are couples everywhere who break up without saying a word, and single-parent families are nothing new, but her situation is really embarrassing.
In the first two years after her parents divorced, Wu Bei and her father Wu Guangping kept thinking about wanting to get back together, while her mother Chen Junmei thought that the other party was lazy and narrow-minded, so she finally jumped out of the fire pit and resolutely refused to be dragged back.
Wu Guangping lobbied several times and failed, so he hit Wu Bei with the idea, wanting Wu Bei to persuade and persuade him. Wu Bei has witnessed her parents arguing and cold war since she was a child, and she has long been fed up, and marriage is such a thing, if people drink water and know that they are warm and cold, since one party is unwilling, even if she is a daughter, she has no position to force others.
This attitude aroused Wu Guangping's dissatisfaction, and after he communicated with Wu Bei with hypocrisy and crooked reasoning, but was still rejected miserably, he invited a group of foreign aid to do her ideological work together.
Those seven aunts and eight uncles who usually don't see each other twice a year suddenly came to visit the door frequently, all of them put on a caring and well-informed life mentor posture, and repeatedly taught and instructed her what to do is right, Wu Bei's communication with her was ineffective, and finally she was annoyed, and she threw the door away directly with a few words.
The relative who was left behind was very faceless, and since then there has been a saying in the circle of relatives here: Wu Bei's child is neither big nor small, and his psychology doesn't seem to be normal, and he is in a hurry to hope that his parents are not good.
Wu Bei was so disgusted that she hadn't stepped into Wu Guangping's house for more than a year since then.
Soon after this farce, Chen Junmei remarried, and the remarriage partner was a policeman. The family was deserted all of a sudden, and his daughter seemed to be determined to cut off relations with him, so Wu Guangping began to panic.
Wu Bei didn't answer his phone, so he called Chen Junmei, Wu Bei's grandparents, and went to their house to cry and sell miserably. The old people are the most soft-hearted, so they asked Chen Junmei to persuade Wu Bei, no matter how she said it, she was also her own father, and the other party had never done anything that hurt her heavily, so she didn't have to be so decisive.
Wu Bei was persuaded, but after this incident, all the dissatisfaction accumulated over the past ten years erupted, although he thought about it for the sake of blood and resumed contact with Wu Guangping, but there was always a pimple in his heart, and he felt more and more difficult to communicate with him, and he had nothing to say every time he went home.
As for the relatives who arranged her behind her, they didn't want to see each other at all, and the New Year's dinner in previous years was also for Wu Guangping's face, and he was afraid that he would not be able to get off the stage so he reluctantly attended, maintaining his happy surface project. But she has always gone and eaten silently by herself, and immediately found a reason to leave after eating.
was arranged to lead a group in Hainan on the second day of the Lunar New Year this year, and she was actually quite happy. There is no need to repeatedly see the hated relatives on Wu Guangping's side or Chen Junmei's husband's strange relatives in the past few days, and if someone asks her and says that she is busy traveling to other places, everyone will comment with emotion "really hard" and "really hard".
In order to make money, there is no way. People tend to be more tolerant of money-related reasons.
In addition to these, the group itself to be brought this time also made her more satisfied.
The group is actually in the headquarters Beijing, I heard that because it is a temporary group on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the itinerary of the tour guides available there has been set in advance in advance, and the headquarters thought of finding someone from the branch, so she happened to pick up this leak.
The local tourism industry in Shijiazhuang is not very developed, so the local full-time tour guides are basically taking the group to other places to do the full accompaniment, and the income in addition to the meager basic salary, mainly comes from the tour guide service fee and various kickbacks.
Some part-time tour guides or ground tour guides only rely on kickbacks to make money, and naturally wear out their mouths and use seventy-eight kinds of martial arts to make you buy more things at shopping points, which can easily look ugly and even attract complaints.
The reason why Wu Bei "picked up the leaks" is because this group is an unconventional "customized group", in other words, the people who sign up for the group are not bad for money, not for greed and cheapness, the whole process is in accordance with their route, and the tour guide only needs to make arrangements with him and do some explanations along the way. There is no shopping index, a large number of hundreds of service fees per day, a total of more than 3,000 in six days, as long as the guests are not particularly strange and difficult, relatively speaking, this money is still relatively easy and comfortable.
