There are always people on board who are keen on power play, and they like to use their positions to weed out those who are not in sight. Sometimes, just because you don't like it, you put pressure on people, as if you can show your authority. I'll admit that I delayed my work this time, but the reasons behind it are far more complicated than that.
In the mouth of the first mate, a small thing was infinitely magnified and became a reason for him to attack me. If he's the captain, I'm afraid I'll really have to think about staying on this ship. Now, I can see him for what he really is, and I don't just listen to other people's descriptions.
When the ship is sailing in the deep sea, I am full of longing for life on board. After all, this is when I first got on the boat, and everything seemed so fresh. Whether it's a mistake at work or a violation in life, I'm willing to take it seriously. But this time, I won't let the first mate slander me at will.
I drank a little too much with Chef last night, which caused me to get drunk and unconscious. Coupled with going to bed late, I slept until dawn. I had already started work in the morning, and I was still asleep in bed. Seeing that I didn't go to the meeting, Shuitou went directly to my room and found that I was still sleeping. But instead of waking me up, he went to the first mate. When the first mate learned about it, he hurried over, saw that I was still snoring, and woke me up very angrily.
I woke up and looked at the time, knew I had overslept, and immediately put on my clothes and rushed to the workplace. I admitted my mistake and apologized to the head as soon as I started working. However, as soon as it was tea time, I knew that trouble was coming.
Every morning at ten o'clock, the crew will go back to their rooms to drink tea and relax. But for me, this is a time of waiting for bad news. As soon as I got back to my room, the ** in the first mate's office rang. I know, it's looking for me. This was the first time I walked into the first officer's office and confronted him with questions.
The first mate, sitting there making tea, saw me come in and didn't speak immediately. His pretentious posture made me very unhappy. But after all, I am a leader, and I can only endure it. When he started asking me why I was drinking, I didn't want to refute it, I just admitted my mistake. I knew he was tempting me to know who I was drinking with last night, but I didn't tell him. So, he started threatening me, thinking that I was an unqualified student.
The first mate asked a lot of questions, just to find out if we had used the food and drinks on board privately. I resolutely didn't tell him the truth, just lied, saying that I brought peanuts and wine myself. He apparently didn't believe my words and started to lash out. I know he's angry not just because I'm drinking, but because my attitude towards work makes him unhappy. On that day, he harshly criticized and scolded me. I didn't refute, just stood silently in his office until he asked me to go out to work again.
I didn't complain and immediately went back to the deck to get back to work. Looking at Shuitou's disgusting face, I knew that he and the first mate were the same dog. At first I had a good impression of him, but now it seems that he is just as dark-hearted as the first mate. He could have woken me up instead of denounced me, but he didn't.
I thought the morning's events were over, but in the eyes of the first mate, it was far from over. At three o'clock in the afternoon, while the first mate was drinking tea in the captain's office, he began to slander me in front of the captain. He said that I behaved very badly on the boat, that I was often lazy, that I didn't like to study, that I liked to smoke and drink, etc. He spoke like a cannon, full of slanderous words made out of nothing. When the captain heard this, he felt that something was wrong and began to ask what was going on. The captain has always been nice to me since I got on the boat, but this time the first mate said so, and the captain began to re-examine me.
That night, I went to the bridge as usual to chat with the third mate to pass the time. I didn't mention the daytime, but I knew in my heart that this time I had a good relationship with the first mate. I don't know if he will actually let me disembark at the port of Shanghai, but I was ready. In any case, I will not let him trample on my dignity and efforts at will.
