Friends work in a company and many couriers come here every day. Some come to deliver mail, and some contact the business.
The first time Ding came, he also came to contact the business. He was in his early 20s, and he was not good-looking, wearing a suit, a tie, a pair of thick glasses, and polished shoes, and he knew at a glance that he had just done it. His face was slightly red when he spoke, a little shy, not at all like other peers, wearing casual clothes and flat shoes, convenient for running upstairs and downstairs, all of them can speak well, big grin...
He only said a few words, which company, what to do, and then seriously put down the business card with both hands and left. The crisp sound of leather shoes stepping on the floor of the corridor caused a burst of laughter from colleagues: Silly boy, wear leather shoes to send express mail, and you are not too tired.
One day a few days later, Ding came to contact the business again. Not long after leaving, my friend had a letter to send, and just when his business card was on the top, he called him. In about 10 minutes he came over, panting and talking a little nervously.
After filling out the list, he carefully read it several times before saying thank you and charging for change. Friends noticed that he had handed it over with both hands while finding change, as if completing a solemn handover ceremony.
Since then, friends have let Ding take and send emails several times. Each time he had to confirm the identity of the signatory, and he had to wait until after receiving it to open it to see if the items were wrong. So he spends a little more time than everyone else.
On the eve of the "May Day" Festival, everyone was busy with their own affairs, and familiar footsteps came from the corridors. There was a knock at the door, it was Ding. He changed into a suit, his shoes were still shiny, and he was carrying a bag of yellow oranges in his hand.
"Do you have our express mail?" Friend asked. He shook his head, put the orange on the coffee table, and said as if embarrassed: "My first business was obtained here." I send you some fruit, thank you for taking care of me, and I wish you all a happy May Day! ”
In the impression of my friend, this is the longest sentence he said, as if he had rehearsed it beforehand, and it was very smooth.
It was the company's turn to be embarrassed that no one had ever given them a gift after working so long. And he is just a courier who relies on the force to eat, and he only inadvertently let him take over a few jobs, and it is really impossible to talk about who takes care of whom.
Ding insisted on leaving the orange and quickly said goodbye and left.
The oranges are not big, they should have been bought from street stalls, and the taste was a little sour. But no one said a word of criticism. Half a day later, some people said, "This boy is quite humane." ”
Maybe it was the orange, and the human touch, and then there was a courier business in the company, and the first thing that people in the office thought of was Ding. Later, friends introduced him to several other departments.
Ding ran to the company significantly more often, sometimes five or six times a day.
Friends and Ding gradually became acquainted. But on hot days, Ding still wears shirts and ties, the neckline is tightly tied, or wears leather shoes, which are not stained and never random.
Once a colleague couldn't help but joke with Ding: "You are dressed like a courier, but like an insurance seller." ”
Unexpectedly, he said: "Selling insurance is so serious, sending express delivery is even more appropriate." When I was trained, the leader said that when I went to see customers, we must dress neatly, which is the minimum respect for customers and respect for ourselves. ”
"That's how you listen to the leader?" Colleagues continue to quip.
"Of course, the leader's words must be listened to!" He replied stunned, not minding the ridicule of his colleagues at all. Everyone couldn't help but laugh, he was probably the most obedient employee in the industry.
Ding's courier work lasted for two years. Except for a change of glasses, his clothes and words and deeds were as serious as ever. During this time, a friend accidentally learned that Ding was a secondary school student who graduated from a finance and accounting school. He couldn't help but ask Ding: "You have a degree, why don't you look for another job?" ”
"It's so hard to find a job for a few months after graduation." Mentioning this, Ding was a little embarrassed, "My family is in the countryside, the family has no money, it is not easy for me to finish secondary school, how can I ask my parents for money again?" At that time, I saw that the courier company was recruiting people, so I went and felt very good when I did it. ”
"Then isn't what you learned wasted?" Friends couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
"No, sending express delivery also needs to coordinate time, manpower, and material resources, otherwise how to improve efficiency?" For example, according to different regions, different business types of customers are classified, what customers at different levels send, where to send, how to send. Usually when I see a customer's phone, I know his specific location, what to send, and how big a box he needs to bring. ”
He chuckled, "Where is the knowledge learned?" ”
Friends began to look at Ding differently, for the deep meaning of his words.
May Day is approaching again, and a friend calls Ding to ask him to come and get something. The call was answered, but it was another boy.
"I'm from a courier company, and Director Ding asked me to pick up my things."
"Director Ding?" Friends are stunned.
"Yeah. At the end of the year, he was going to Nanning to become a branch manager, and the appointments were announced. The boy had a look of envy.
"Ha, the promotion is quite fast!"
"Also, there are several reasons for the leader to promote him." Of all the employees, he was the one who worked the longest, the only one with a degree, the only one who insisted on wearing a suit, the only one who established a customer profile, the only one who didn't receive customer complaints..."
Express delivery, to put it bluntly, is a job of running errands, and there is not much technical content. Therefore, many people regard it as a temporary subsistence job, the work is perfunctory, and as soon as they encounter a good job, they immediately jump away.
Ding is different, he treats it as a "solemn" undertaking. Although the majors and personality endowments he studied did not have any advantages, he went from an ordinary employee to a branch manager, relying on only two words - serious.
On the other hand, although many young people have lofty ideals and first-class talents, they are always absent-minded and sloppy at work. Because they lack a serious spirit of undistracted and refined, their final result can only be mediocre and achieve nothing.
