A sound of footsteps woke him up in his thoughts, and it turned out that the general manager had returned. Following closely behind his father, he gently walked into the general manager's office. The space inside is not large, but the decoration is quite simple and elegant. A tall bookcase, a dark* desk, and a few high-end chairs for entertainers.

The general manager is a personable middle-aged man who wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, giving a sense of kindness. The father briefly introduced his situation, and the general manager glanced at Lu Feng, made a phone call to inform the personnel department, and talked to his father about business.

I came to the HR department alone and filled out the resume form of the new employee. At this time, a woman in professional attire, about thirty, with a ponytail, looked very capable.

"This is the manager of the housekeeping department, and this is a new employee named Lu Feng." It turned out that this person was a manager, and his level was quite high, Lu Feng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be a little nervous.

"Lu Feng, come downstairs with me, I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the place where you work." The housekeeping manager smiled at him. Lu Feng timidly followed behind the manager, came to the hotel building not far away, and stopped in front of an elevator.

This is the staff elevator, and you have to rely on it to go up and down the stairs in the future. The elevator door opened, the manager pressed 5, it seemed that the place of work was on the fifth floor, and then looked at the number button, the top floor turned out to be the sixteenth floor, at the end of the nineties, in this small county town, such a tall building is considered one of the best.

Stepping out of the elevator and passing through the fire door, there is a long corridor in front of you, covered with a bright red carpet, as gorgeous as flowers. People walk on it soft, very comfortable, three-star decoration is really humanized. After walking a few steps, I suddenly heard the sound of a motor hissing, and wondered how there could be noise in this quiet place.

Seeing his puzzled expression, the manager hurriedly explained: "This is the sound of washing the carpet, you see the carpet under your feet and in the elevator, it is all cleaned and maintained by the carpet washing machine, and you will use it in the future." ”

Following the sound of the motor, I came to the door of a room, and saw a tall and thin man holding a machine, carefully cleaning the carpet step by step. Seeing the manager coming, the man stopped what he was doing.

"This is Foreman Shen here, you can work here with peace of mind in the future." He turned back to the man and said, "This is a new employee who just arrived, his name is Lu Feng, you can take a look at the shift for him." After the manager finished explaining what he was going to do, he went on to do something else.

From the mouth of foreman Shen, I learned that this work belongs to a cleaning team under the housekeeping department, which is mainly responsible for the cleaning of carpets and the maintenance of the mirror in the lobby, and there are still a lot of things to learn. The working hours of this team are divided into three shifts during the day, middle and night, and because I belong to the newcomer, I am assigned to the second half of the night according to the custom.

As for why you have to work the night shift, the reason is also very simple, because there is less work in the early morning, and it is easier to learn, and it is not like the day shift where there are leaders who closely inspect it, which reduces the probability of deducting fines, of course, these Lu Feng does not know.

Now the first thing is to pay the deposit and go to the procurement department to receive work clothes, and then tomorrow night at half past eleven, you will come here to report, and then there will be another person named Hua Foreman who will be responsible for teaching you, remember. Lu Feng nodded, and spent a lot of effort to come to the procurement and supply department, after all, those who are not familiar with life have to rely on themselves to explore.

After everything was done, it was almost noon, and on the way home, Lu Feng's mood became bored for no reason. Growing up, I've never worked a night shift, and I don't know how people who work together will get along. This is the case with people, and many times, the unknown is more intimidating than the actual face.

As soon as he entered the house, his mother asked about his work this morning, and Lu Feng replied listlessly: "I will work the night shift tomorrow." ”

"How do you work the night shift?" Mother couldn't help but be surprised. My mother, who has worked in a state-owned cotton mill for more than 20 years, knows the pain of working night shifts in winter, and in the middle of the night, she pounces on the cold winter night outside from the warm bed, and then stays up until dawn.

"How do I know?" Lu Feng shouted loudly and irritably, he had rarely spoken to his mother so loudly, but at this time, the annoyance in his heart made him angry. When his mother looked at him with anger, she suddenly became stunned and stunned. Lu Feng muffled, went straight to his room, and closed the door with a bang, as if he wanted to vent all the depression in his chest.

While eating lunch, my brother looked at Lu Feng's sad expression and wondered: "Isn't it just the last night shift, why bother." ”

"If you don't go, of course it's easy to say." Lu Feng didn't give way at all. If it was usual, Brother would definitely argue a few words without hesitation, but now he just endures it silently.

"Tomorrow night, you hold on first, if you really can't bear it, I'll go and talk to the leader again, and change to a day shift job." Dad looked at Lu Feng's frowning and sighed.

"Then I'll give it a try." Lu Feng knew that this work was not easy to come by, and he couldn't bear to let his father be busy again. After a few mouthfuls of food, I went back to my room.

After dinner the next day, his mother told him to rest early, and specially advised, "The alarm clock has been set for time, so you can sleep at ease!" ”

Lying on the bed, there is less of the usual lively TV sound in my ears, my father and brother used to always turn up the volume loudly, as if they were afraid that others would not hear it, and now I don't know if I am still watching it. The room was so quiet, but Lu Feng still couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, and was always worried about the night shift. He tried his best to get rid of this uneasy mood, but it was like a person's back, and he couldn't shake it off.

Half-asleep and half-awake, a sharp alarm clock woke him up, at this time Lu Feng really wanted to hide in the warm quilt, but the mother's voice outside urged again, "Lu Feng, it's almost time to get up, you can't be late for the first time to work." ”

"Got it." He rubbed his eyes and got up to get dressed. Came to the bathroom, washed his face, alas, foreman Hua said that the new employees who just came had to work the night shift for half a month, which is really like a year, when is it a head, I can only blame myself for my poor study grades, and my life is not as good as my brother, so I fell here.

Now my brother has been assigned a stable job, and he has become a small leader, his income is very expensive, and he doesn't have to work night shifts, no wonder the fortune teller also said that my brother's life is good.

"Come and eat the rice cake, I just made it for you. Mom used to work night shifts, and she knew that if she was hungry at night, it would not taste good. Looking at this bowl of steaming rice cakes, Lu Feng's eyes couldn't help but become hazy, "Mom, why haven't you slept yet?" ”

"Mom, how can I sleep, thinking that you haven't eaten yet, I will cook you the rice cake soup with shredded vegetables and meat that you like to eat." Looking at his mother's smiling and slightly tired face, Lu Feng's nose was sour. "Mom, go to sleep first, I'll take care of myself, you don't have to worry."

"It's okay, Mom is retired now, I can sleep later tomorrow, so I'll spend a little more time with you. You remember to eat more, or you'll be hungry if you don't work the night shift. Lu Feng ate the rice cake warmly, and his heart couldn't help but flow through his body.

After leaving the house and riding a bicycle, the cold wind was like a sharp knife, blowing fiercely on his face, and suddenly, Lu Feng's drowsy mind cleared up a lot. Thinking of what had happened in the past two days, he felt indescribable guilt in his heart. Mom, Dad, I'm sorry for worrying you again.

Brother, forgive me, I didn't mean to make you angry. In those difficult days, it was his parents, his brother, and the warmth of home that melted his cold and helpless heart and gave him the courage to face difficulties again.
