Today I encountered a bizarre situation where a young man was arguing with a colleague at the security check. The reason was simple: according to the rules, all visitors must scan a code to register before entering the memorial hall. However, the man was unwilling to register and wanted to swagger in. Naturally, the colleague could not tolerate such blatant rule-breaking and stopped him from entering.

At that moment, I happened to arrive and heard the arrogant man pointing at the colleague, saying, "Are you sure you won't let me in? I'm calling Director Li right now."

The colleague calmly replied, "You still need to register to enter, even if you call Director Li." Upon hearing this, the man seemed greatly provoked and immediately called Director Li. Coincidentally, Director Li was not at work that day, and clearly, he did not give the man much face, nor did he ask the security department to open a green channel for him.

However, Director Li still gave him a bit of face by sending Director Zhen to come and meet him. At first, the man was hesitant to accept, but after some communication, Director Zhen took him inside.

From his expression, it seemed he felt a great sense of satisfaction, and then at the security check, he asked the young lady, "Can I go in this time?" Since Director Zhen was with him, the young lady gave him face and said he could enter.

After entering, the man walked around very arrogantly, as if he were going to fire anyone who displeased him.

I asked my colleague, "Who is this guy? Why is he so impressive?"

My colleague said, "He claims to be from the provincial party compound. He has been here twice before, always coming in with important guests, but this time he didn't make a reservation and refused to scan the code, so we didn't let him in."

Once he entered the memorial hall, I wasn't sure what he did, but it seemed like he was inspecting the place, walking around everywhere. After about an hour, he returned to the security check, and according to the actual rules, he should have exited through the normal exit, but unexpectedly, he insisted on leaving through the entrance.

My colleague received a message from the manager in advance. The manager didn't want to stir up more trouble, so he told my colleague to let him go. He immediately felt a great sense of satisfaction and, while walking, told others, "I've never been stopped at any memorial hall in Guangzhou, yet I was stopped here." However, when he said this, he still looked very pleased, as if he had won.

After exiting through the entrance, he went to another place and soon returned. This time, he specifically called over the colleague who initially didn't give him face and asked, "What are you responsible for?"

The colleague replied, "I'm in charge of security here."

He immediately pointed at him and said, "You should be promoted to supervisor, you come and be the supervisor." This remark made everyone else find it very funny, and they couldn't help but laugh.

He walked a few steps and then returned, asking, "Who is that tall, thin person from the night shift?"

The colleague said he wasn't familiar with the night shift staff and didn't know. It turned out he had also come at night, but the night staff didn't give him a good face and stopped his reckless behavior.

Later, until the end of the workday, he still didn't exit through the entrance. It turned out he had caused some trouble inside. He had a conflict with a small leader in the company, who knew his background and considered him a rogue, giving him no face at all. Eventually, he left in anger.

This incident made me feel that this man had an immature personality. Does it really make such a big difference whether one scans the code or not? The situation turned out this way, and he appeared more like a child. On the surface, many people seemed to respect him, but privately, they all found him to be a ridiculous presence.

These people usually haven't experienced much of society's harshness and always think they are a unique sight wherever they go, expecting special treatment. Once someone doesn't give them that treatment, they become furious and feel humiliated.

However, he clearly had some connections, believing that knowing the higher-ups of the memorial hall allowed him to come and go freely, above the rules, and enjoy the pleasure of being above the rules. But unfortunately, this was just his one-sided feeling.

Such people are not scary before they have actual power, like a jumping clown, but once they gain power, they will break the rules and engage in various dictatorial antics. However, he clearly had no power to control us, so his behavior appeared somewhat ridiculous.

Of course, how the subsequent events will develop, I currently do not know, but it is evident that the relationship between both parties will not improve. He originally thought he had found a place and restored that high-and-mighty feeling, but was confronted by our company's small leader, and I believe that the little sense of psychological superiority he had just built up has probably vanished.

In my view, truly powerful people are those who can bend and stretch, not those who cannot tolerate the slightest grievance. The more powerful a person is, the more they look down on these superficial things, while those who are overly attached to these superficial things usually show a very shallow talent.

In actual work, there are indeed individuals who feel that the scanning process is cumbersome and show impatience, but probably only he reacted so intensely.

For those who are a bit impatient, we usually assist them in operating quickly. Most people operate with great patience and then enter the memorial hall according to the process. After all, the memorial hall is different from other places; it is a solemn and serious place that requires rules.

Of course, for elderly people with limited mobility and understanding, we have also taken very humane measures, allowing staff to assist them in entering the memorial hall. For children, as long as their guardians scan and register, they can enter, fully respecting the elderly and caring for the young. However, this man was neither an elderly person nor a child; he was simply openly defying the rules to satisfy his own vanity, which naturally cannot be tolerated.

According to the actual rules, only those personally received by relevant leaders can enter through the green channel. Therefore, without the relevant leaders present, if staff let him in privately, that would be a dereliction of duty, while insisting on the principles is the correct approach.

This incident also reminded me of my high school days when I was the floor leader of the student council. My dorm mates thought they should receive special treatment and urinated outside when they couldn't enter the floor's restroom, even throwing trash in the hallway, setting a bad example. I tried to persuade them, but they didn't listen at all, believing I should give them special treatment.

In the end, I didn't indulge them and exposed their disgraceful behavior to the overall leader, and they naturally received some education. From then on, they began to resent me, and until graduation, our relationship didn't improve much. However, I have never regretted my actions because their thoughts and behaviors were incorrect. If they weren't corrected in school, they would face harsher lessons from society in the future. In many matters, we cannot make everyone happy and satisfied, but as long as we adhere to the correct values and rules, we should have the courage to stand firm.
