Chapter 12: Training
Yes, as long as she works hard and fights hard, her life is likely to be a great miracle.
"Anyway, welcome to join our Lianmei family." He patted Tingli's shoulder affectionately, and added, "I have high expectations for you, you must believe in yourself, and believe in Lianmei even more." In each specific store of Lianmei, the highest-level positions are store manager and financial director.
"It's hard work!" She curled her lips. "Some people can't stand it. Every time we go to the store, those senior container specialists and the messy level employees and section chiefs squeeze us like construction workers, making us do all kinds of chores.
They call it behavioral training, but it's a disguised form of exploitation. Anyway, it's useless because it doesn't occupy the department's cost and can be dispatched at will. And I heard that even after the training period is over, we still have to do a long period of employee experience.
By the way, my name is Minro. What's your name, the handsome guy next to me, Min?"
"Tingli Smith!" Having a roommate is also a companion. You can talk and chat when you are bored at night.
Minro is very talkative. She likes to talk about her boyfriend, how they met, their romance, and how she lived alone in a dormitory before. She came to accompany her every night. The two of them were very close. After that, she asked her curiously: "Do you have a boyfriend? If not, there are many single men in our group."
Tingli smiled.
She asked again: "What are you laughing at? Do you have one?"
Tingli handed her mobile phone. On the screen of the mobile phone, Momo had a serious face. She stared at her in shock and said in disbelief: "You already have a child? It's so big?"
"It looks big, but it's only three years old."
"Oh, I can't believe it. I thought you were not married. What does your husband do?"
"I'm single."
"Uh..."
There was a silence, and the two stopped talking. Tingli couldn't sleep for a while, so she looked through the old photos on her mobile phone one by one.
The nights in March were very cold. Outside the dormitory window, you could vaguely see the shadows of trees swaying in the wind. The cold wind blew against the wall and hit the glass, and you could hear the sound of hissing.
The next morning, when it was still dark, Tingli was woken up by Minro.
She said, "Hurry up, we need to tidy up the dormitory and clean up, otherwise we will be deducted points and affect our ETP scores. Haha, you know how difficult it is for us. Let me tell you, the leaders who check our hygiene are very perverted, making us like elementary school students.
If we are not clean, we will be punished. We will be punished for cleaning up during mealtime. If we are not happy, we will leave. Anyway, it is dark here, and they have the final say."
"Since we have a good monthly salary, let's endure it, comrade, we need to see the light." It was a rare time that Tingli made a joke when she woke up.
But what she said was not exaggerated.
At seven o'clock, a junior cadre from the logistics department who was in charge of checking hygiene came into the dormitory and waved his hand exaggeratedly, saying to Tingli loudly: "It's so early in the morning, why don't you open the window and ventilate it? Do you think you can smell good after sleeping all night? Also, mop the floor before breakfast. Don't think that the leaders have nothing to do all day."
Minro quietly pulled her sleeves and whispered: "Typical early menopause syndrome." The training went smoothly, but it was also as Minro described, very inhumane and oppressive.
For six consecutive days, Tingli was like a spinning top on the ground, being whipped, beaten, and spun wildly. From the time she opened her eyes in the morning to the time she quickly brushed her teeth, washed her face, and ate, it took her half an hour. Then, she was sent to the Lianmei CJ store with all the ETP students.
The journey felt like a concentration camp. The place of labor was limited to the warehouse, moving goods, transporting goods, unloading goods, unpacking, repacking, putting price tags, pushing trucks, and carrying ladders. In short, there was no distinction between men and women here, only differences in status.
Leaders above the level of section chief and manager would inspect and scold people at any time. Tingli certainly didn't take it too seriously. After all, she was truly full of hope and determination.
But after all, they would be part of this place. Once they got the ETP certificate, they would belong to the management level of Lianmei. The leaders' indifference seemed a bit too much.
Minro said it well: "One day without leaving the training project is one day of free labor without cost."
Every day, they were busy until 10 o'clock in the evening before leaving to get off work. Don't think you can leave. You have to stay to organize the warehouse. After organizing, you have to wait for the managers to check. That is to say, usually when they return to the dormitory and lie on the bed, it is already 12 o'clock in the night.
Moreover, this is an endless cycle.
No exaggeration!
Until 10 p.m. of the sixth day, the leader in charge of the inspection happened to be Section Chief Ni of the 15th Beverage and Drinks Section. Tingli had a good impression of him. Maybe she knew him on the first day of training. Besides, his voice was not as loud as other leaders every time he spoke. Every time he saw her, he would nod slightly, as if to encourage her.
After checking the hygiene in the warehouse, he announced: "Tomorrow is another rare day off for everyone. Tonight, let's go back early."
"An hour in advance?" Some people didn't believe it.
"However, someone needs to work overtime. It's not much, just count the goods to be sent to other stores tomorrow." Section Chief Ni said, his eyes swept around the whole place and finally fell on Tingli's head, and then said, "Tingli, you're the one. You just came here and you still have a lot to learn."
"Okay."
Tingli rubbed her slightly swollen temples. It didn't matter too much. Anyway, it was the same for her everywhere. Hearing that only Tingli would work overtime, the other students immediately became excited. In addition, they had a day off tomorrow, and everyone had already discussed whether to go to a late-night snack shop to have a big meal in the evening.
Minro, Tingli's only acquaintance so far, looked at her with great sympathy and said, "Alas, you have worked hard, Tingli. I will bring you some snacks later."
