This summer vacation is not quite what I remember.
In previous years, I always felt carefree during the summer vacation, and I either ran here to catch shrimp or fish there all day long, so unhappy.
I don't know what my dad thinks, but I have to do a summer job this summer. And my mom didn't seem to be on my side this time.
So on the third day of the holiday, I was arranged by my dad's friend to enter this hotel and became a hotel doorman.
In my dad's words, Li Muyang, you are eighteen years old, it's time to experience the hardships of making money.
I was depressed.
But he was powerless to resist.
But when I think about it, I have a salary of 800 yuan a month, which is actually quite good. You know, when I was in school, I only had 45 yuan a week for living expenses.
But it's not easy to earn.
This hotel is one of the first four-star hotels in the city of L. Whether it is the hotel's reputation, hardware facilities, personnel management or service quality, it is one of the best in L City.
So I had to go through a three-day training first. The main thing is to learn hospitality etiquette and familiarize yourself with the daily work content.
The person in charge of training me and another person was the foreman of the hotel's concierge named Hong Xile. He doesn't look much older than me, but he's been working at the hotel for two years.
Speaking of training, it is actually working with the foreman every day.
The job of a doorman is very simple, which is to open the door for hotel guests, call a taxi, load and unload luggage, and some chores. In short, it's right to make guests feel at home.
After the first day of training, I didn't learn anything else, but I learned all kinds of smiles.
I didn't know that smile service was so exquisite.
It's really hard to laugh from the heart. You know, when I'm tired of carrying a large piece of luggage with a dog, I really can't smile from the bottom of my heart.
It's good that the expression isn't distorted to the point of hideousness.
So before the first day of training was over, the other guy ran away.
It's a chore. I think.

After three days of training, I was so tired that I couldn't even lift a pen to write a diary.
I finally got half a day's rest today.
Hong Xile said, in the afternoon, you take a half-day rest, adjust your state, and you will be on duty alone from tomorrow onwards, cheer up.
I finally had a half-day rest, and I had planned to lie down at home all the time.
But Su Qingqing called.
In the evening, my friend has a birthday, so let's have fun. Su Qingqing said excitedly on the phone.
I'm so tired, I want to sleep. I said it truthfully.
Oh, husband, come on, come on. Su Qingqing was coquettish.
I can't bear to refuse, and I'm going to put into work from tomorrow, so I don't have much time to come out to accompany her. So I had no choice but to say yes.
Coincidentally, Su Qingqing's friend's birthday party was arranged at the hotel where I worked.
When I arrived, I met them cutting cakes in room K.
Happy birthday!
A room full of a dozen people shouted in unison.
Thank you......
The heroine stands in the middle with a happy face.
I know most of Su Qingqing's friends, all of them are rich girls from good families.
The girl with a happy face standing in the center of the field is called Cheng Cheng, and now she is kissing her boyfriend at the instigation of everyone.
Su Qingqing looked happy when she saw me.
I smiled and nodded.
If you want to say what is the best way to increase your face in KTV, nothing can compare to a perfect singing voice.
Although I don't dare to say how good I sing and sing, compared to Su Qingqing's friends who are not full of five notes, I am simply a natural voice.
A song by the principal "The Love of My Life", with standard Cantonese pronunciation, affectionate and powerful, drunk Su Qingqing's friends.
I like to listen to old songs, especially Cantonese old songs.
The tenderness that flows slowly from the heart is the most classic Cantonese old song.
When I was a child, I didn't have many opportunities to listen to songs. At first, I listened to the tapes on my father's tape recorder, and it was all Cantonese songs.
So I fell in love.
Although I listen to more JAY and JJ songs now, everyone likes good music.
So no matter how old the song is, the tenderness it expresses is used by everyone.
Wow!! husband, you sing so well!
Su Qingqing looked proud, and rushed over and shouted.
Yes, Brother Yang sings so well. Her friends all said.
I felt a little smug in my heart.
To be honest, when I learned that Su Qingqing's family was superior and her friends were all rich children, I resisted a little.
You know, I'm just a kid from an ordinary working family. It's hard to speak a common language with them.
In order to take care of Su Qingqing's face, I try to have as little contact with her friends as possible. Maybe out of inferiority, I always feel that I will be embarrassed by Su Qingqing.
But it didn't work well today. I think.
At the end of the birthday party, Su Qingqing and I came out of the KTV.
Go, I'll send you home. I laughed.
She nodded, then grabbed my hand with her arm.
It's very happy.
Daughter-in-law, I'm going to start work tomorrow. When I make money, I'll buy you something to eat. I say.
I don't want to. Su Qingqing said with a smile, you keep it for yourself.
Why do you think I have little money?" I said, feigning displeasure.
No, isn't it...... Su Qingqing hurriedly explained, I actually don't want you to work, it's too hard. But it's your father's order, and I can't stop you. So I think it's all your hard-earned money, and I'm not willing to spend it.
Xiao Nizi is quite good at hurting people. I laughed and cursed.
Husband...... I...... Su Qingqing suddenly looked at me a little shyly.
What's wrong?I asked.
She suddenly stopped talking, but looked at me with a misty look in her eyes.
In this situation, if I don't kiss again, wouldn't I live up to the beauty's heart?
It was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and the only dim street lights flickered lonely in the noisy street market during the day, and there was silence all around.
She and I stood under a big tree on the sidewalk, hugging and kissing.
The seeds of desire sprout in the heart.
But I held back.
I'm not a tall man.
I confess that I desperately want to get the woman in front of me.
But not now.
At least not today.

On the first day of work, I was disciplined enough.
The reason is that I made a mistake with the guest's luggage.
The luggage of the 508 is two boxes, the big red and the small green.
The luggage of the 518 is also two boxes, the small red and the large green.
It's my fault for not looking carefully at the tags on my luggage, but it's easy to get confused when the red and green are mixed together.
And that's not all.
A tour group arrived in the afternoon, and the original scheduled time was supposed to be 6 p.m. But it is estimated that the driver did not have the strength to stop his feet, and he arrived half an hour early.
As a result, I was eating in the staff cafeteria, and when the concierge supervisor came to me, I still had a large mouthful of egg soup in my mouth and didn't swallow it.
You can imagine how badly I was trained.
Fortunately, Hong Xile, who came to work overtime, said good things for me, so that the supervisor canceled the fine and punishment for me.
For the first time, I felt the grievances and unwillingness from the adult world.
When I was in school, I didn't feel that way even if I made any mistakes.
At the end of the day, I'm still too useless.
I haven't been able to adapt to the role of such a service provider.
Most of my generation are only children, and they grew up under the care of their grandparents, grandparents, and parents. I don't dare to say that it's like a little emperor, but at least it's like a prince, where have you seen the cruelty of society?
So I'm very lost. My heart was aggrieved like a stone blocking it.
But Hong Xile felt that it was nothing.
I came here to work when I was your age, and I'm used to it now. He laughed.
I looked at him and felt that he was not adapting, but seeing through it at the beginning.
He came from a rural area and his family was very poor. After dropping out of high school, I came out to work.
He couldn't understand my grievances, and I couldn't understand his hardships.
I began to feel that my salary of 800 yuan was so far away from me, and it was only the first day of work, why did I feel that I couldn't hold on anymore?
But when I think back to that scene last night, my heart is sour.
You can't just give up. I think.
