Chapter 72 Night Shift

When it comes to the department setting and personnel arrangement of Chongwenmen Hotel, it is even more state-owned.

It can also better reflect the superiority of the system at that time.

First of all, there are almost no temporary workers in the unit.

Even stevedores, cleaning, dishwashing, floor sweeping, and toilet cleaning are all officially staffed.

The point is that no matter how hard and tired a post is, it can become neither hard nor tired.

Nothing else, the secret is that there are many people.

It is obvious that one person can do the work, and three people are used to share it. Who can complain and feel tired?

Secondly, there is a difference between our state-run hotels and hotels in Western capitalist countries in terms of the name of the job.

Although it is divided into front office department, guest room department, catering department, engineering department, finance department and administration department.

Each department also has a manager.

But further down the segment it's different.

State-run hotels do not have any supervisors or foreman.

The grass-roots cadres who can benchmark with supervisors and foreman are team leaders and deputy team leaders.

For example, the political work team and the logistics team that Ning Wei People's Office has found through the entry procedures are all subordinate to the Administration Department.

The same is true for the front office, which is divided into the reception group and the management group, which can also be referred to as the first group and the second group.

The functions of the reception group are mainly responsible for leading the daily layout of the conference room, cooperating with the inspection work of the competent department, and recording messages, letters, and newspaper delivery.

The functions of the management group are to handle the check-in and check-out procedures of passengers, telephone reservation business and train ticket purchasing business.

If you don't count the cashier and the cashier sent by the finance department.

If all the grass-roots workers are added together, there are seventeen people.

In addition, the formation of these two groups is not so rigid. Except for the group leader and deputy group leader, the grass-roots employees can be replaced with each other.

It is conceivable how easy it would be to work in this class with such a surplus of personnel.

In fact, in addition to the night shift is to arrange two people on duty.

No matter the morning shift or the middle shift, there are at least five people in each shift in the front office.

At the busiest time of the day, there were about a dozen people sharing the work, and the workload was minimal.

So for those in the front office, most of the time has nothing to do.

No matter chatting, reading newspapers, reading magazines, eating snacks, or even going to work, wandering around in other departments.

As long as it doesn't go too far, it's up to you.

It's just that including Ning Weimin, there are only three men in the entire front office, and those two have been "welded" on the night shift for almost a long time.

So it goes without saying that Ning Weimin must be the one who turns on the water every morning.

In addition, as a newcomer, he has to take over some chores that others find trivial.

For example, go to the warehouse to collect office supplies and bills.

Or dealing with people in the post office, delivering newspapers to the leadership office and distributing letters to various departments every day.

It's a lot like the errands that the mail room old man does.

But even so, he still has a lot of free time. Ning Weimin has fully realized the original intention of coming here - a comfortable mess.

It's just that the world will not be so perfect after all, and there are some distortions between reality and imagination.

There are some small troubles that Ning Weimin did not expect, and that is the gender difference.

As the saying goes, three women play one show.

Every day, he puts on four big dramas around him, and gathers the "Twelve Golden Hairpins", think about how lively it will be.

As far as these big girls and little daughters-in-law are concerned, everyone regards him as the target of ridicule, and sometimes "drives".

It's really taking him as a little brother who doesn't know anything.

But the question is, he actually knows everything, so what does it feel like?

It's not good to ignore it, and it's not good to make people blush when you talk about it, and it's not good to make people think that they are really funny.

The blessing of staying in the beauty's nest is not so easy to endure.

Fortunately, after going through a baptism of work that lasted for most of the month, a colleague who was a child of the night shift had a fever.

Ning Weimin was transferred to the night shift ahead of schedule and started partnering with another male colleague.

This time he was relieved, and he was completely clean.

He really didn't expect that the errand he was most unhappy with at the beginning turned out to be an opportunity to save him from misery.

And to be honest, you only know the benefits of night shifts when you work the night shift.

Because no one would ask to stay at a hotel at night these days, and the last train at Beijing Railway Station is ten o'clock.

So even for the morning shift and middle shift, the workload of the night shift in the front office is pitiful.

People on night shifts don't even need to provide morning service, but they are just to deal with occasional emergencies.

For example, if a customer has an emergency and needs to call an ambulance.

For example, if there is water leakage or power failure in the room, the engineering department must be notified and the room can be allocated to the guests in time.

Another example is to cooperate with the public security department in the inspection and arrest work.

Or if there is a fire, cooperate with the political work team and firefighters to do evacuation.

In addition, at most, it is to answer an outside call and record the message to the guest or the leader of the unit.

That can be done by reading books, newspapers, chatting, or even playing cards with employees from other departments, or sleeping on a table or a chair to pass the long and boring night.

In addition, the unit also manages supper and breakfast, and subsidizes [-] cents for night shifts every day.

It's a beautiful job where you can make money while you're full and drinking.

I am afraid that there is no work in the entire capital, and it is more worry-free than doing this.

Staying up all night hurts the body, of course.

But young people, who would be afraid to explode until midnight?

What's more, sleeping on the table is also sleeping, but sleeping a little later, and sleeping less comfortably.

Compared to the reward, this flaw is really nothing.

That is, going to work at night, with dark lights and inconvenient transportation, it is not very convenient for lesbians.

Only male compatriots can share this blessing.

Ning Weimin even thought that if he got acquainted with his new partner.

It's not a problem for him to slip out of the post occasionally to go to the ghost market.

The only thing that made him a little worried was that he had given a girl the post, which was likely to disappoint another male colleague and then resented him.

But even this worry dissipated when he worked the night shift the first day.

Because when the reception team leader, he was introduced to the new work partner.

The young man named Zhang Shihui, who was not a few years older than him, not only expressed his sincere welcome with a friendly smile.

Even after the team leader left, he was enthusiastic and thanked him as a savior.

"Dude, thank you so much. You came and saved me completely."

"Oh, don't be so polite. If you want to scare me away, you'll have to watch the night shift alone."

"Haha, I'm not kidding, you'll understand as soon as I say it. The post you took was originally my target. The two of us talked on night shifts. But the bad thing is, since then, she has been on me and others. The night shift is no longer at ease, so he has to accompany me. No, I will accompany myself to the hospital. Now that you are here, we will be partners, and my partner will be relieved. Moreover, it can be rotated, and I will see the sun again. It's been a day, shouldn't I thank you?"

Ning Weimin understood that there was a night shift romance behind the co-authoring, and the sadness of being a night wanderer all the year round.

"It should be. I have accumulated so much merit. Then you can't just thank you. You have to give me a pennant that says 'helping others'."

As soon as these words were said, the two of them were amused by each other.

Zhang Shihui took the initiative to hand over a cigarette, but she was still poor.

"Hey, buddy, the pennant is the pennant, but you have to let me embroider it slowly. As for now, let's get something affordable. Come on, take one..."

Ning Weimin thanked him for taking it, but he didn't dare to just order it.

"Dude, can I smoke here?"

However, Zhang Shihui was not stingy with that, and directly struck a match to pass fire to Ning Weimin.

"It's okay, this isn't the day shifter? Just be careful and don't let it go..."

Between the clouds and the mist, he had already stood up from his seat and greeted him carelessly.

"Wait, I'll get an ashtray. By the way, I still have high broken here. Where's your cup? You brush it first, and we'll both have a cup later, and then we'll talk..."
