As he entered, he smiled and said to everyone in the office, "Hello!" We all knew he had earned his job through connections, so he lowered his head, blushed, and took his seat in our disdainful glances.

Our deliberate estrangement, coupled with his introverted personality, made us work in the same room, but we had the kind of strangeness of crowded streets and passing each other, so that he took two days off, and we hardly felt that there was a person missing in the office.

In the second month, we gradually found that there were still many advantages to it. He was serious and modest, and even when it came to work, he looked cautious, as if he was not discussing problems, but asking for advice.

Just as we were starting to like him, he asked for two more days off. The director got angry. "What are you asking for leave for?" He said, "I have something to do." The director asked, "What's the matter?" He bit his lip and hesitated for a long time, saying, "Personal matter."

In the third month, he asked for two days off again. The director was furious: "Everyone has their own personal affairs. I understand and support that, but aren't weekends enough? Do you have to take two extra days off?"

He did not give any explanation, his face was full of grievances, and large tears rolled down the ground drop by drop, immediately turning into a broken watermark.

After he left, the director went to talk to the old boss about him. We laughed and waited for a good show.

The director came back, sat down softly, and sighed nonstop. In our astonished eyes, the director said with remorse, "My impulse hurt a noble heart." It turned out that he was a volunteer, and he would go to the nursing home to do volunteer work for two days every month, all year round, rain or shine. This was also the direct reason why he got the job without trial. The office instantly became unusually quiet, so quiet that you could hear the sound of a heartbeat.

We didn't ask him why he didn't choose to go to the nursing home on weekends and why he kept it a secret. The previous indifference to him made us feel unworthy to ask these questions. The only thing we could do was come up to him and give him the most heartfelt hug the moment he returned to the office. I think other people feel the same way as me, a thousand words stuck in the throat.
