The next day, Lin Duo got up early, took a shower, cleaned up and went out. Today was her first day at work, and she didn't want to be late, so she panicked. Even though the company was very close, she still walked quickly, and arrived at the company in a short time.

The door of the company has not yet opened, the security guards are sleeping in the sentry box, Lin Duo glanced inside, the empty parking lot, several security guards are standing outside the building chatting, there is a song in the hall, and the sound is faintly coming. Lin Duo looked at the time, there was still an hour and a half before going to work, and it seemed that he had indeed gotten up too early. There was a tree-lined path next to the gate of the company, Lin Duo walked over, found a chair and sat down, took out a loaf of bread from his handbag and ate it slowly. At this time, the road began to be congested, the buses that picked up and dropped off employees stopped on the side of the road, the crowd of people crowded in front of the doors, the battery cars occupied the slow lane, and the footsteps on the sidewalk kept coming. The busy C City has already clocked people's moods in this early morning.

Lin Duo finished eating the bread, took out a bottle of water and drank it slowly, looking at the pedestrians coming and going, his originally calm heart couldn't help but panic. Although she knew that she came very early and would not go to work for more than an hour, she was somewhat infected when she saw these busy figures. At this time, the phone rang, and Lin Duo took out his mobile phone, which was Li Yanran's phone.

"Good morning, Lin Duo, are you up?"

"Director, well, good morning, I'm up, I'm already in the company, but I haven't opened the door yet, and I'm going to wait outside for a while. ”

"Oh, I woke up so early, and it seems that I am indeed a man with a sense of time. We go to work at 9 o'clock in the morning, you live close, you don't have to get up so early in the future, and sleeping a little longer is still good for your body. On your first day of work today, there will be a supervisor of the customer service department to give you training, in fact, it is to take you to familiarize yourself with the work, about a day to be proficient, the girls in the customer service department are about the same age as you, and they are easy to get along with each other, so you don't have to be too restrained. ”

Li Yanran's words calmed Lin Duo's heart, this was her first job, she was already a little nervous, and Li Yanran's caring words made her feel a little warm.

"Thank you, Superintendent. ”

"I'm still on the way, I'll be there later, and I'll get in touch when I get there. ”

Li Yanran exhaled and put her phone in her bag, there was still an hour before she went to work, and she had to continue to sit there bored, looking at the busy street in a daze. The sun is gradually rising, the summer heat of City C is slowly coming, and there are more and more pedestrians in front of them, with the sound of clattering high heels, and a group of female white-collar workers of the company hurriedly walking by in professional clothes. Neat white shirt, neat hairstyle, neat clothes, neat colors, somehow, this neat everything made Lin Duo feel bored for a while. Suddenly, she didn't know why she came to City C, why she wanted to find a job, why she lived such a neat life like everyone else. Perhaps, she could live another life, a different life than this.

The sun shines through the leaves, into the woods, and on the boulevard, and the whole grove is bright, and the leaves are intertwined, shimmering with dappled light and shadow, dazzling, pale. Sleepiness hit, Lin Duo lay on his side on the chair and fell asleep unconsciously. She had a dream in which she turned into a snail, and the feeling in the dream was very real, and the huge shell on her back made her really experience the feeling of heaviness. She climbed up the tree step by step, using all her strength for each short distance she moved forward, but despite this, her efforts were almost unplaced. The ants that climb up and down around it are like sports cars. Suddenly, she forgot why she had climbed the tree, and in the depths of her memory, the smell of leaves was actually not as sweet as the smell of flowers and plants. So they had to go back the way they came. Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly felt a heavy body, and it turned out that it was not easy to go down.

Suddenly it rained, Lin Duo was slowly climbing down, the heavy shell on her back made her much easier under gravity, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, the strange thing was that the rain did not seem to have the warmth of summer, but a coolness, no, it was cold. Lin Duo couldn't stand the cold, and she finally woke up.

"Awake?" a crisp, familiar voice.

Lin Duo rubbed her eyes, Li Yanran was standing in front of her, a bottle of coffee in her hand was bubbling cold.

"Sleeping here, it's easy to be bitten by mosquitoes, and if you're sleepy, you can go to the company hall to rest for a while, where there is a sofa. Grab some coffee and refresh yourself. Li Yanran said.

Lin Duo took the coffee and said, "Thank you." ”

Li Yanran said: "Then, let's go, after a while, it's time to go to work." ”

Lin Duo got up and walked into the company behind Li Yanran, at this time, the parking lot was full of cars, and groups of young men and women in professional clothes walked by. Lin Duo looked at the building in front of him, paused, and then walked forward again.

After the morning meeting, the director of the customer service department took Lin Duo around the company, familiarized himself with the environment, and arranged for Lin Duo to sit at the front desk.

"We don't have a lot of people in the customer service department, plus I only have three people, my name is Bai Yang, just call me Yangyang. ”

Lin Duo looked at the girl in front of her who was about the same age as her and nodded. This girl is quiet, a little introverted, and her voice is very low when she speaks, as if she is afraid of scaring others. Lin Duo suddenly felt that the management in the company was too young, not as calm and sophisticated as she imagined, and if she continued to work here for a long time, maybe one day she would be promoted to supervisor.

"There's still one person missing, but it's almost there, it's only the two of you at the front desk, usually take turns to rest, and you need to rotate to eat, and you have two hours of rest after lunch, and you can sleep in the model room. I'll come over and replace you two when the time comes. Bai Yang said.

"So, why is the number of people in our customer service department so small, and are we still recruiting new people?" Lin Duo asked.

Bai Yang hesitated for a moment and said: "Actually, very few girls will always do such a job as customer service, there were many colleagues in the department before, but they all resigned later." ”

Lin Duo was puzzled, such a job with easy wages and benefits should be very sought-after, how could anyone be willing to resign, so he asked: "Why do you want to quit? Isn't this kind of job bad?"

Bai Yang smiled profoundly and said, "Because it's boring." ”

"Boring? I don't understand. Lin Duo said.

Bai Yang said: "This kind of job is indeed very stable, the salary and working environment are very good, but it is also boring to the point of madness." Ordinary young people are not willing to do this kind of work, you think about it, sit here for a day, every day watching a face pass in front of you, how boring, our company has both real estate and property, although the office building is only four floors, but we are basically only active on the first floor, that is, the hall, most of the day, there are only two customer service people in the hall, sitting here guarding this empty hall, for a long time, two people should say what they should say, tired of it. There are not many girls who can stick to this kind of work. I used to sit here as a customer service, so I know what it's like to be bored, and my previous supervisor changed jobs because his job was too boring. ”

"I see. Lin Duo now understands why Bai Yang can be promoted to supervisor at a young age, it turns out that even the management is gone, and only one from the grassroots employees can be taken up to be the supervisor.

"So, you have to endure such a boring job, and you can slowly adapt to it at first, but after half a month, people will hate it a little bit, and you have to hold on at that time. After all, like you said, the salary package of this job can really support you. Bai Yang said.

Lin Duo thought for a while and said, "I think I will adjust myself, and besides, I need a stable income and a stable life now." ”

At this time, the induction door of the hall opened, and a girl ran in in a hurry, she went straight to the front desk, put down her handbag, and said breathlessly: "Director, I, I'm sorry, I'm late." ”

Bai Yang said: "It's okay, I've already made the work card for you, go and change your clothes." ”

The girl turned and hurried towards the lounge in the back.

Bai Yang said: "This is Chen Yu of our department, she also just graduated from university, and came to the company half a month earlier than you." The department is still recruiting, but I don't know how long it will take for a newcomer to come, there are only three of us at present, the customer service department is not busy, and there is nothing to do at ordinary times, but it is necessary to pay attention to a little bit, to register outsiders. ”

"Do we just need to do this, and is there anything else to do?" Lin Duo asked.

Bai Yang smiled meaningfully and shook his head.

Lindo said, "It was boring. ”

Bai Yang said: "Adapt slowly, I hope you can persevere, and if you can't stand it one day, you can also consider changing jobs." ”

Lin Duo said: "What about you, will you consider changing jobs?" ”

Bai Yang shook his head and said, "I'm different from you, I have a mortgage and a car loan, so I need this job very much, but it's quite pitiful, although the salary is more than yours, but after paying off the loan every month, there is no money." ”

"Mortgages, car loans. Lin Duo couldn't believe that such a young girl dared to carry two mountains on her back. She has never thought of buying a house for herself, let alone a car, every day, walking on the road, as long as the sidewalk is not crowded, she is satisfied, she has never thought about buying a car, in her opinion, the car is only used for transportation, but the legs also have the same function.

"Okay, let's go to work, let's not talk, I'm going upstairs to work, after lunch, I'll change you, and then you can rest in the lounge at the back." After Bai Yang finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Lin Duo looked at her back, and there was some indescribable feeling in his heart. She wondered if she needed something in the city.
