urban security

When the team leader assigned me to guard the conference room of the project department, I felt excited and curious. At first, the working time was full of novelty, but this feeling did not last long. Soon, various things happened one after another.

The first people to notice it were the project department staff. They started giving me orders, asking me to do this and that. For example, today they asked me to put up some signs. These signs and logos should have been made and posted on the wall by an advertising company, but now they became my task.

However, a problem arose. In order to save costs, the advertising company used inferior glue to paste these signs. In addition, the construction site was dusty. After a long time, the signs seemed to lose their stickiness and fell down like free fall. The signs were like being destroyed by a storm, scattered on the ground in a mess. I looked at these pitiful signs, bent down carefully, picked them up one by one, and then stacked them neatly aside. Just then, the security guard came over. I thought he would appreciate or thank me for my behavior, but I never expected that I would be greeted with a barrage of reproaches: "What do you security guards do? Why don't you even take care of these signs!" Listening to his rebuke, I felt very wronged and helpless. I thought to myself, I have tried my best to pick up the signs and sort them out, what else do I need? So, I responded in a low voice: "But we don't have any tape, how can we stick it on?" However, he ignored my explanation and retorted in a stiff tone: "Then why don't you ask the project department for it? Do you still need me to teach you such a small thing?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in my heart. But considering the working relationship and to avoid escalating conflicts, I did not choose to argue or refute him directly, but expressed my difficulties in a more euphemistic and vague way. Finally, the safety officer said that he would give me the tape later and asked me to stick the sign. Although I was a little reluctant, I had to accept this arrangement.

Sometimes, they would ask me to set up the table because they needed to have a meeting.

After he gave the order, everyone couldn't help but murmur: "If he didn't ask, everyone would naturally not do this! After all, the work content of security guards and cleaners is completely different. Security guards are not cleaners, right?" Moreover, everyone's salary is determined by their positions, and they will not get more compensation just because they do more things. This is the real mentality of most workers. Of course, if there are enough incentives or additional benefits, they may be willing to take on more responsibilities, but if there are no such conditions, they will definitely not take the initiative to do things that are not originally within their responsibilities. In short, there are many different opinions, and everyone has their own views. Some people think that they should do as much as possible to show their abilities; but some people think that they cannot blindly follow the arrangements, otherwise it will become a bad management model of wanting the horse to run but not giving it grass to eat. How should we view this situation? It is really difficult to give a simple and clear answer.

That's mainly because it will definitely be good for the project department, but you workers will be miserable! How can I put it? The salary is so low, it's really sad! How can we do a good job in the service industry? Humph, no matter how much the salary is, not paying is just being a hooligan! In the project department, if you offend them, you will definitely not have a good result. Also, now you have to pay special attention to safety issues. Alas, since I became a girlfriend, I am not as free as before, after all, they will pay attention to this aspect. And there are some disputes between him and me. But I'm not sure if he knows about that, after all, we didn't communicate face to face at that time. Although it has been a long time, I still remember it clearly! I don't know if I need to explain it, or I don't need to ask at all, anyway, they must know it in their hearts. In general, they look down on us security guards and don't take us seriously at all! The thing is, recently, they have come to the meeting room more and more frequently. Until one day, he suddenly came in with some fragrant food. I was a little surprised by the food brought by the project department, and I didn't know what to do for a while. I thought he would hand it to me enthusiastically and say, "Try it, it's delicious!"

However, the cruel reality was like a heavy club that hit me hard on the head, making me dizzy. Those people in the project department actually just used these things as offerings! Just as I looked at him with suspicion, my eyes moved in the direction of his finger, and I suddenly found a statue standing in the corner. The statue was carved vividly, as if it had life, as if it could see through everything in the world. In particular, the big knife (Qinglong Yanyuedao) held tightly in the hands of the statue exuded a powerful awe-inspiring aura. I couldn't help but be shocked. I really couldn't figure out why the project department would worship the statue here? However, thinking back to his previous actions, I seemed to have a little more understanding. Perhaps he hoped to pray for the blessing of the gods in this way so that the company's project could go smoothly and smoothly. Although my heart was filled with countless questions and doubts, the scene in front of me forced me to choose to accept it. Finally, the statue was placed in a prominent location, like a patron saint silently guarding the entire team.

It was a little surprising that the statue in the shrine was fixed with nails. So, where should it be installed? Suddenly, I thought of a perfect place, that is, the place where the label is posted. Specifically, it is near the front desk, and more precisely, the position on the right side of the main podium in the conference room. The statue will be placed there, against the wall behind the podium, just like the wall of the student podium in school. When they finished placing it, the next move surprised me even more - they actually needed to close and bend the statue with their hands. This practice is really different from the image of the essayist! If this does not comply with the regulations, what should I do?

Recalling that I had witnessed the construction labor company on the construction site downstairs before, their boss seemed to have handled similar things. What is going on with this safety officer now? Is this the way the people in the project department believe in? I couldn't help but murmur in my heart, but it was not easy to say too much. After all, I didn't know whether this was their personal behavior or represented the company's wishes. However, putting things here always made me feel that something was wrong.

I really felt very uncomfortable in my heart. Last time when I called him, he didn't listen to me and made things difficult for me. But fortunately, I finally found a way to fight back this time! However, I didn't really take action, because isn't his behavior a handle for him? As long as I catch his handle, I can cause trouble for him. Although this can give him a certain punishment, I didn't do it in the end. Sometimes, I am really too lazy to do these things, and I don't want to act in a way that will anger others. This is actually a kind of self-protection behavior. After all, we are just nobody, and those people don't take us seriously at all. If it is as developed as the Internet later, maybe we can do something. A movement often takes time and opportunity. As the saying goes, only those who follow the trend can gain glory, while those who are in the vortex will find it difficult to stay safe.

Of course, I despised them from the bottom of my heart. I thought they were nothing special! Anyway, the entire industry depends on technology and safety systems, but they don't rely on these, but instead worship gods. Is it just a kind of psychological comfort? Safety systems have been posted, but they still have to pray to gods. It's ridiculous!

However, not long after, an unpleasant thing happened. The team leader actually transferred me to the gate of the construction site again, which meant that I was assigned to work at the gate. This transfer attracted my attention to the side wall next to the gate of the construction site. Just after entering the gate, there were all kinds of things posted there. Especially the banner and the bright red handwriting written with a brush, which were engraved with words praying for the protection of the gods and other words related to the gods. What's more interesting is that there are also signatures, such as architects, engineers, etc., and their surnames are all Chen without exception. This is by no means a simple coincidence, but there is no need to be too entangled. Since they believe in these things, let them take their own responsibilities.
