Chapter 14 Happy Time in the Hotel

After the land reclamation was completed, we began to prepare for the opening of the hotel in full swing.After the opening of the hotel, various supporting facilities have also been put into use. Undoubtedly, we are also the direct beneficiaries. Among them, the most impressive thing is the food in the hotel canteen.The food of the hotel matches the five-star level very well. There are more than a dozen varieties for morning and supper, more than a dozen varieties for Chinese food and dinner, both meat and vegetable soups, several varieties of beverages, and fruit supply every week. Everything is in the form of self-service. All hotel staff eat in the cafeteria. There is no distinction between management meals and staff meals, and they are treated equally.

The canteen is on the first floor of the main building of the hotel, and it takes about 10 minutes to go from the dormitory, especially when entering from the underground passage. I still choose to take a shortcut and pass through a mountain road near the tennis court on the mountain.At the beginning, employees used meal cards for meals, and a special person at the entrance of the cafeteria was responsible for ticking the meal cards, and they could eat four meals a day.Therefore, eating in the canteen is the happiest moment after our busy work. Several colleagues get together to chat about work, taste some dishes, and talk about anecdotes about the hotel.The overall environment during the meal is not bad, no one is making loud noises, and after the meal is over, put the plates and chopsticks in the designated place.Many nights, I stayed in the dormitory with nothing to do, so I called a few colleagues to the cafeteria for supper.Sometimes it is not necessarily very hungry, but it seems that eating in the cafeteria has become our leisure way in such a semi-enclosed place.After eating supper, I occasionally go to the floor workshop to see my colleagues on night shift.

Going to and from work every day from the dormitory to the main building or the villa area always requires walking.The full-time butlers have special travel battery cars. We mainly walk on two legs. Occasionally, when we meet them going to the main building to help guests check items to the villa area, we will take a ride there.Among the flowers and trees in the hotel, there are many speakers with different shapes, some are in the shape of stones, and some are in the shape of mushrooms. When walking on the road and listening to those elegant and soothing piano music, I feel very comfortable physically and mentally.Sometimes when I hear a song I like very much, following the rhythm of the music, my fingers involuntarily play in the air.Sometimes there is a sound of music coming from a bamboo forest, and I always look for the location of the sound, because not every stone is a sound.Walking on the road accompanied by music is a very pleasant thing, but we get it easily, so we belong to a happy group of people.

After the official opening, we also ended the militarized management for several months. It feels so good to have free time.After getting up in the morning, I sometimes run around the hotel.Walking on the picturesque hotel road, breathing the fresh air, people's spirits are also lifted.What I like most after running is to go to the highest point of the hotel - the viewing platform.The building on the viewing platform is like an open book, and the waterfall flowing down from the main building of the hotel is where the water flows out.Put your legs on the railing for leg presses, and do some radio gymnastics, and the radio next to you plays those wonderful music from time to time.After finishing these sports, put your hands on the railing, look at the whole picturesque green hotel, look at the place where the sun rises, and watch the sun come out little by little in the morning glow, which is refreshing and beautiful.There were very few people running at that time, and I just didn't want to give up the running habit I had developed over the years.A colleague ran ten kilometers every morning, but only outside the hotel. I didn’t have the courage to go around the hotel a few times, and if it rained, I had to cancel it.Many mornings, I closed my eyes, stood on the viewing platform, took a deep breath, and opened my eyes to see everything in front of me, as if in a dream. This kind of working environment is enough to make people intoxicated.

Because the hotel has a first-class green and ecological environment, it has attracted many political and business celebrities to stay here.I remember one time, an international superstar from Hong Kong came to the hotel and was arranged to stay in the President’s Villa No. 1.Many colleagues volunteered to serve in the villa, even if they work overtime.It's just that the service of such important guests is professionally served by a full-time butler.In the dormitory at night, when I heard who got an autograph or took a photo, the excitement seemed to be pumped out.It's just that I can't seem to have more enthusiasm for these stars. I feel that they are no different from ordinary guests, so I didn't get involved in such fanatical star chasing.With the subsequent holding of various high-end conferences, many famous celebrities came to the hotel to stay, some were arranged in villas, and some were arranged on the executive floor.I just feel that as an employee, the hotel can attract these celebrities to stay, so as to increase the popularity and improve the hotel service brand image. I am somewhat proud of being able to work in such a high-star hotel.Whenever I am free, when my colleagues are discussing these celebrities, I also listen carefully. More often than not, I don’t express my views. When encountering contradictory opinions, I just smile.

Every morning when I go to work, the supervisor will conduct training and work arrangements for the day.Smile is the most commonly used in training. From the moment we enter the hotel, it seems that smiling has become an eternal theme. We have developed the habit of smiling professionally. In order to further consolidate and bring us a relaxed and happy mood throughout the day , so smile training is also a matter of course.At that time, my main work place was in the main building of the hotel. There were only a few male colleagues, and the rest were all female.Sometimes the colleague who looks at the opposite can't help but laugh out loud.Sharing experience is also a must-do thing in the morning meeting every day. For men whose things are rare and expensive, I have the opportunity to share many times.The eloquence cultivated by the school as a cadre is now fully utilized.Every day's work is carried out in such a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, which makes people feel that their lives are fulfilled.

I did not become a full-time housekeeper, but I also received special care from the department manager, and let me and the other three colleagues be responsible for the services on the administrative floor.As the most upscale floor of the main building, it mainly serves high-quality customers.Once I met a foreign guest. When serving him, I happened to meet the guest and communicated in simple English. I gave him a gift on his birthday, which was well received by the guest.Although he talked a lot, I only understood the meaning of thumbs up. For English, I am a rookie.Looking back on something like this makes me feel quite fulfilled.Compared with myself, who mainly cleans the guest rooms, I rarely have the opportunity to communicate with the guests. We clean up when they go out for a meeting or go out, and we generally don’t bother them when they are resting in the room.Colleagues sometimes ridicule each other, saying that those who look outstanding all go to the catering department, because the food is beautiful and delicious, and the taste is greatly increased, which can promote consumption; while those who are in charge of room service are a little too good-looking to feel sorry for the audience. I just want to go to bed early, which can improve the quality of sleep of the guests.There's always something to do during a busy day at work, and that's basically the kind of thing I enjoy doing the most.

The hotel is some distance away from the car road leading to the city. Every time I go out, besides taking the hotel shuttle bus, I usually go out by motorcycle.Sometimes it feels boring to stay in the hotel, usually we will go to the Internet bar next to the road to surf the Internet.Go to the classmate log, log in to □□, look at the webpage, and get the latest information about the society, classmates and friends, so that you will not be completely derailed from the society.In such a relatively closed environment, after work, colleagues do most of the things they do are chatting, playing chess, playing basketball, etc. It seems that it is difficult to find other leisure and entertainment methods except going out and surfing the Internet.We are used to laughing at ourselves and making jokes so that life will not be monotonous.Of course, the hotel will also hold regular activities, such as evening parties, competitions and other activities, to enrich everyone's amateur culture.

During the days of working in the hotel, food and accommodation are included, away from the turmoil of the outside world, and I strongly feel the happiness of life.Every time a salary is paid, the salary of the previous month is basically not used much, which can be regarded as a happy thing, at least in such a place where money is rarely spent, saving money.A beautiful environment, good benefits, and a harmonious relationship with colleagues all constitute the elements of happiness, and the years have become more colorful because of such evil elements.
