Unit 5: Going to work

Ah Ching returned to Hong Kong after a five-day trip to Japan. As the epidemic has eased slightly, office workers have returned to the office from "work from home", and the same is true of Ah Jing.

After lunch, ten minutes left before lunch time, Ah Jing sat at the desk, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window. She is a little envious of Baiyun, because Baiyun is freer than her!

Her eyes continued to wander outside the window, and there was a towering glass-curtained building in the distance. She was not familiar with this building, let alone knew its name. However, it is far away from Ah Jing's thoughts racing in the air, and images one after another are flashing chaotically in his head...

Citizens went to supermarkets to buy food, disinfectants and toilet paper. At 5 a.m., elderly people line up on the street to buy masks. The media reports the latest number of confirmed cases and related groups on a daily basis. COVID-19 is ravaging the world.

The preset mobile phone alarm clock played brisk music, and Ah Jing knew that lunch time was over. She threw her head violently, trying to throw the chaotic picture away, because the iron-heavy thoughts seemed to crush her head to pieces.

He took his eyes off the window and began to immerse himself in the company's documents. The clerk's work style is similar every day, there is no opportunity to "challenge herself", and it is not a job that allows her to apply what she has learned. However, she has no plans to switch jobs. This year, various companies have cut wages and laid off staff. It is a great blessing to have a job that can support herself. She has no intention of joining the army of unemployed.

As one hour, two hours, and more than three hours passed, she finally prepared the documents that her boss needed tomorrow, so she left her desk and went to the pantry to get something to drink.

Walking into the pantry, she made a cup of three-in-one instant coffee, sat down and swiped her phone to watch the news. News is "familiar" because it haunts the minds of Hong Kong people almost every day.

"Is this still news?" she thought to herself.

Suddenly, a burst of distress hits my heart, I put down my phone angrily, and drank all my coffee in one go. Ah Jing looked at the white wall clock in the pantry and saw that it was still a few minutes before get off work time, so she cleaned the cup and returned to her seat.

When "17:30" was displayed on the phone, she immediately picked up her handbag and left the office quickly.

She took the elevator to G/F, left the building, and let out a long sigh of relief.
