Chapter 3: Where are you? Part 2
Assistant Tseng text back, "Everything is doing great, boss. No need to worry, I can handle it, and I will keep you updated."Yang Tian-Xu never worried about his assistant's work, he knew the guy was competent. It's just that he felt a little bored. How long does it take someone to finish a salad? As Tong Yue-Yan took her sweet time with her meal, Yang Tian-Xu didn't bother to rush her, he sat there quietly as he reads over the latest news in the business industry. Occasionally, he would pretend like he was having lunch with her, and let out a small gentle smile. He wondered about the girl again. Where are you? If only you were here.A bright, beautiful Friday afternoon, the girl, with long shiny light-black hair, with light-brown eyes almost as if they were hazel. She appeared at Yang Corps' front entrance. With her name displayed on the visitor tag as Wang Yi-An. Comparing her and Tong Yue-Yan, she wasn't as pretty. However, she waChapter 3: Where are you? Part 3"Yang Corps has the best benefits," She replied honestly. "You know Pan Holding's Inc has good benefits too," said the manager on the left. Wang Yi-An didn't think before she said, "But I like Yang Corps better." They smiled, and Assistant Tseng asked, "Why do you like Yang Corps better?" "Because Yang Corps cares deeply for their employees." This fact was that Yang Corps featured in an Employer of the year magazine. It highlighted them, and at the top 10 listed companies selected by employees in City Y, Yang Corps topped the list in first place. All the employees were proud to be part of Yang Corps compared to the other nine companies. In fifth place was Pan Holding Incorporated, although they had a higher paying salary than Yang Corps, and the other companies, their treatment for employees were not as good and fair. Pan Holding Incorporated was a company of competition among each other. Where, if their monthly rep
Just as Yang Tian-Xu waited for Tong Yue-Yan to finish the salad, Yang Tian-Xu was thinking about her, the girl he had a dream about and couldn't stop thinking of. He imagined the girl sitting across from him was her instead of Tong Yue-Yan. The corner of his lips curved up, and Tong Yue-Yan thought it was a smile meant for her. It made her happy and smiled back. Preoccupied with thoughts of another, Yang Tian-Xu completely ignored Tong Yue-Yan.Yang Tian-Xu snapped out of his thoughts, back to reality as he heard a notification chime from his smartphone. He looked down to read the message."Boss, you would be in shock! This student I interviewed today, just wow! An amazing talent! A photographic memory, I tell ya! I already informed the student to start the internship in two weeks."- Sent from Assistant Tseng at 2:50 p.m.Photographic memory? Yang Tian-Xu ponders, since it was his assistant that made the claim, Yang Tian-Xu was positive he has proof and b
Their home is small compared to the rich, but a perfect size for Wang Yi-an and her mother. The three bedroom upstairs each label with a homemade sign, the largest room in the house had a sign that said, "Mom". The second biggest room's homemade sign says, "Yi-An" and the last room at the end of the hallway homemade sign says, "Yi-Xiu" Wang Yi-An went to the bathroom and cleaned it up, then she went into each room to vacuum. She was a fast cleaner, and she finished in 20 min. Then she would vacuum the entire home as she often returns to the kitchen to check on her stew for tonight's dinner. Today they were to have beef stew. Her mother's favourite dish. Wang Yi-An had spent her entire day cleaning and preparing meals, and food for her and her mother for three to four days.The time display 6:00 p.m. on Yang Tian-Xu's watch. Tired from all the walking, Tong Yue-Yan seems content, and Yang Tian-Xu had spent the entire day with her. He hoped it would satisf
Yang Ming-Wa has three daughters and a son. His only son was Yang Wei-Bin, his only son. Yang Wei-Bin had two sons, and one of them had passed away at an early age, and his remaining son, Yang Bo-Ting is Yang Tian-Xu's grandfather. His grandfather has a son and a daughter. Yang Fei-Hung and Yang Fei-Fei. Yang Fei-Fei is Yang Tian-Xu’s aunt, but she married the mayor in City X, far away from City Y. Rare for her to come visit, but she tried her best come for the major family events, like great-grandfather's funeral. Yang Tian-Xu was a newborn when great-grandfather, Yang Wei-Bin passed away. His grandfather, Yang Bo-Ting is still healthy and alive, for an 87-year-old man, he is a healthy man.Yang Tian-Xu's parent always have dinner at Tian-Bo-Fu on Friday. When his parents got married, they lived in the Tian-Bo-Fu for a while, until they had to move closer to Yang Corps' headquarter. However, Yang Bo-Ting always wanted to see them and his grandson, Yang Tian-Xu, so
Wang Yi-An was already in bed by 9:00 p.m. sleeping like a baby, peacefully. Meanwhile, at Tian-Bo-Fu the heiress to the Tong family came to visit Grandfather Yang. She regretted not being able to bring gifts with her to visit Grandfather Yang, this is because Yang Tian-Xu told her it wasn't necessary for gifts, so they didn't drop by a gift store. Still, Tong Yue-Yan felt ashamed to come empty-handed. The moment the maids notified Grandfather Yang that his grandson had arrived, Grandfather Yang became too excited and cheerful. Gifts? He couldn't care less about them. He was just happy to see his grandson, Yang Tian-Xu, “Tian-Xu! My boy! Finally, you decide to visit this old man!” The 87-year-old man wore a male hanfu. A hanfu is an old traditional Chinese outfit. He genuinely likes the traditional styles, and it indeed suited him because it makes him feel comfortable. “Ye-ye!” He called his grandfather, Ye-Ye. It means grandfather, and it was one
“Ye-Ye…” lost for words he didn't know what to say, but Grandfather Yang reassured him. “My good grandson, listen to Ye-Ye’s suggestion. Miss Tong Yue-Yan may seem to be the most compatible woman for you. However, if you have someone else you love deeply, don’t be afraid to bring her home to meet Ye-Ye. Ye-Ye gave you his full support, no matter whom you love.”Yang Tian-Xu and his grandfather had a good relationship. His grandfather always doted on him. After hearing his grandfather's words, he felt like he could tell his grandfather everything. Before Yang Tian-Xu could open his mouth, Mrs Yang interrupted him. His mother called out, “Tian-Xu! It's getting late; you should take Ms Tong and Yue-Yan home.” “Yes, mother.” He replied and turned to his grandfather to face him. “Don’t you worry, Ye-Ye. When I met the girl of my dream; I definitely will bring her here to meet you!”
Wang Yi-An shift starts at 7:30 a.m. The restaurant she works at is nearby, it's not like they needed a car, when buses in City Y runs 24/7; it is cheap and convenient as they lived closed by a bus station, just a block away from home. Paying for insurances every month would get expensive, and gases prices goes up, and only a limited amount of parking spots for electric cars in their neighbourhood. It's better to take the bus instead of owning a car, with bus-stops at every corner it's just more affordable for them.Living nearby her work, she has a bike she used to travel around with, every day she would stroll around her campus, work, and ride her bike home. The restaurant is so closed by, she could walk if she wanted, but she loved her bike so she used it every day. Wang Yi-An and her mother have to save as much money as possible. Their little home was a recent purchased her mother invested in. They need to pay for mortgages and house bills. Wang Yi-An does not w
The most anticipating day had arrived for Wang Yi-An, her official letter of acceptance from Yang Corps internship program was sent to her late at night, although it was an email, it was still official. Jumping with joy as she received it in her Inbox, she told Madam Fung and Fung Qi-Wei, "Auntie! Brother Fung! I got the acceptance letter from Yang Corps!"They both cheers with her and smiled because they were proud of her. They wanted her to take the day off tomorrow to rest, however, Yang Yi-An wanted to work and make extra cash. Rejecting the offer, she continued with her duties.Two more weeks before she officially works for Yang Corps. During these two weeks, Wang Yi-An worked at the restaurant every day, until her school begins next term. She has the internship at Yang Corps for the entire summer. Still, she needed to make enough money so that she could help her mother pay off the mortgage as soon as possible. Wang Yi-An's long-term goal is to have her mother retired
