Chen xinyi tried starting the car, but it's seem luck wasn't on her side today. The car refuse to start.
Poor xinyi, she was frustrated beyond anything. She has already miss the time for the interview but she was still determined to go, even though she might not be interviewed again. After struggling with the car for many times, she quickly call for a car mechanic, told him the plate number and her location. It will be too late if she wait for the man to come, so xinyi decided to go without her car since the location of the company wasn't too far from where she is. At least it will only twenty kilometers to get there if she run.
The morning sun beat down on her mildly, adding to the cool breeze. Her long hairs got loose, some sticking to her face and flying in the air. Chen xinyi didn't even stop to catch a breath.
She was sweating profusely and panting when she got to the gate. Her hair was disheveled and her light make-up was already a mess. "How may I help you?".
The woman at the reception asked.
"I'm Chen xinyi, I'm here for the interview".
The receptionist looked at her in disdain. Chen xinyi felt uncomfortable as the woman look at her from head to toe with disdainful gaze.
Is this how workers in LZ group behave. She thought.
"The interview has ended, you can get out".
Xinyi felt annoyed by her tone but she decided to keep her emotions in check.
"Can I see the manager?"
"No, just leave. The manager wouldn't see you". The woman retorted. Xinyi was astonished. Did she offend this woman in her past life. She couldn't understand why the woman was so unkind to her without reason. "Is this how a receptionist should treat visitors. If that the case, then I suppose you are unfit for this post".Chen xinyi couldn't keep calm anymore. Because she came seeking for job doesn't mean she should be insulted by any one.
The woman face twisted in rage"you are so sharp tongued, don't you dare speak ill of our company and cause a ruckus here".
"Then let me see the manager".
"Who do you think you are to see the manager. I suggest you walk out gently or the guards will kick you out". The woman said.
"You can try it". Xinyi said curtly.
The woman felt angry that she was been challenged.
"You...".
"What is going on here". Chen xinyi and the receptionist turned their head to the source of the voice. It was a beautiful woman in her Early thirties. She was dressed in a black suit and five inches black heel.
"Mrs Wang lei, this lady was making a scene right now, claiming she wants to see the manager." Wang lei look at xinyi and ask"who are you?".
"Hello, I'm chen xinyi. I was supposed to have an interview today."
Mrs Wang lei face lit up"you are miss Chen xinyi,why are you late".
"I'm sorry I had an accident on my way". Chen xinyi explained. Wang Lei nodded, seeing her disheveled appearance. She knew she will be saying the truth.
"Oh that's too bad. It's good you are ok. Follow me the manager have been waiting for you".
The receptionist was dumbstruck. Who is that woman, since she has been working in the front desk, she has never seen the company considered an interviewee excuse for lateness.
Chen xinyi followed the woman quietly at the back. They entered the lift to the thirteen floor. The LZ company is a very big company. It's one of the biggest business company in Xi'an city. The CEO of the company is rumoured to be a mysterious man and hardly show his appearance in public. The company building has twenty floor.
The twenty floor is the CEO office and is highly restricted from entry.
"Mr Qin, miss Chen xinyi is here". Wang Lei announced as they stepped in side the office.
"Good morning sir". Xinyi bowed in respect. The manager Mr Qin happened to be a middle aged man with beard.
"Sit down". Mr Qin said and turned to face her.
Chen xinyi obediently sat down where he pointed. "Our company doesn't accept incompetent People, but when I went through your credentials. I decided to pick you." The manager Mr Qin said.
Chen xinyi couldn't believe her heard. After everything, she still got the job. She was happy beyond anything.
"Thank you Mr Qin".
"I hope you won't disappoint me".
"Not at all"xinyi vowed and the man smiled.
"Well then"Mr Qin stood up, went to his drawer and pull out a book
"Think is the company rules book, I will give you tomorrow to familiarize yourself. When you come next day you will know your post". Chen xinyi collected the book from him while thanking him profusely.
"You can go".
Chen xinyi walked out of the office, with a myriad of emotion. She was happy, surprised,sad, angry and frustrated.
She didn't even know her stance.
The car was already fixed so xinyi just transfer the money to the mechanic and went home.

"How was it, did you pass the interview". Wan lili came out of the room. Chen xinyi Walk in sluggishly.
She almost collapse on the floor if wan lili didn't caught her.
"Hey, be careful. That's not the couch". The two of them usually have the habit of flopping down on the couch when they have just come back from outside or when they are tired.
"What's wrong with you?" Wan lili asked curiously.
"I made the interview".
"That's great, I knew you will make it". she exclaimed happily.
Chen xinyi looked at her best friend and felt like crying.
"Yeah, I never believe I will be taken".
"Ok, but why are you not happy".
"If I tell you I'm doomed, will you believe". Xinyi murmured.
Lili was astound. Obviously she wouldn't believe it.
"What happened?".
Wan lili held her hands.
Chen xinyi sighed and narrated the whole morning drama to her.
"What, three million yuan. Damn that fucking man, was he looking for trouble driving a sixteen million dollars car on the road".
Wan lili retorted angrily. Even Chen xinyi was perplexed by her reaction. ' wasn't car supposed to be driven on the road".
"What are you going to do now. Don't tell me you agreed to pay for the damage".
Chen xinyi nod to her question.
"Damn, can you see he is clearly looking for trouble, I bet it wasn't all an accident".
"Really, you mean he planned it".
"Exactly". Lili replied.
"But....". Thinking of that man, Chen xinyi didn't believe he did it. It was her car that clearly hit his car. Beside he doesn't seem like that kind of person. Chen xinyi knows the man must be really wealthy. The air around him smell of wealth and authority. "Hey, what if the car is fake. I mean it being not be the real Bugatti la voiture noire car. I have never heard of someone driving such an expensive car".
"No way, the car is the limited edition Bugatti, I swear. Don't worry Lili, I already got a job now I will be able it pay back".
"Sigh, what if you can't pay back".
"Let wait till we reach the end of the bridge before we cross".
Xinyi said.
"Alright"wan lili stood up"regardless of that,we still need to celebrate that you got the job. Come on freshen up and join me in the kitchen".
"What are we cooking".
"Hot pot". Lili whispered.
Xinyi eyes instantly lit up"oh, you are lovely."
The phone buzzed at the moment. It turns out to be notification of a new message on WeChat. The message said ' meet me at the new western restaurant 10 o'clock prompt tomorrow morning' it was from the chaffeur she added on WeChat today.
"Lili,he just said I should meet him tomorrow".
"Did he say you should come alone?".
"No".
"Great,we will go together".
