The next day, Manager Bai called Mr Qin to tell him Wu Mei's answer, "Mr Qin, the boss has agreed to your request. You can come to the office tomorrow so we can conduct an interview for you. If you pass, you will be recruited. I'll send you some documents now, you can go over them."
Mr Qin didn't say anything until Manager Bai finished talking. However, Manager Bai knew that he was in shock. After a while, Manager Bai called out Mr Qin's name again softly and this time, he answered, "Are... Are you serious? Your boss really agreed?" Mr Qin asked shakily, his entire body was trembling.
"Yes, she did."
"Oh..." He couldn't believe that the boss finally agreed to merge their companies together! Mr Qin's Racing Business took a fall, after the Wu's established their own Racing Business. All hope was lost by now that the could finally merge with the famous Racing Palace, he is so sure that all his efforts in keeping that business alive won't go down the drain.
"Yes! I'll come see the Lady Boss tomorrow. Thank you so much!" After Manager Bai hanged up the phone call, Mr Qin jumped in happiness. His wife, Qin Yu saw her husband jumping like a child who had just been given cookies after so many weeks of asking and questioned him on why he was behaving like that.
"Racing Palace has agreed to merge with us. Manager Bai said to come tomorrow to have an interview and to sign the documents." Qin Yu screamed in happiness, hugging her husband while at the same time, telling maid to send for Qin Shen.
"Mom, Dad... What happened?" Qin Shen rubbed his eyes sleepily. He had been staring at his computer screen for a long time so his eyes were kind of blurry.
"Shen, Racing Palace finally agreed to merge our companies together." Mr Qin said excitedly, his eyes were wide with happiness and Qin Shen stood up abruptly, surprised, "Really? Are you sure it's not a scam?"
"Stinky brat. Will I lie about something like this to you? This is important!" Qin Shen smiled and slumped on his seat.
"This is good. Finally, we are saved." As if remembering he shot up again.
"Dad, what if Wu Xin stretches his claws to Racing Palace? He will be able to give the boss a better offer than we did and perhaps she might..." As if someone poured a bucket of cold water on the happy couple, they went silent.
Mr Qin gritted his teeth, with a solemn voice he replied, "We just have to wait and see. If truly Wu Xin gives them a better offer and they agree, our Racing Business is over but let us continue to hope for the best."
WU MANOR
Wu Tang sat in front of the mirror while a servant did her hair. Wu Li walked into her room and sat down close to her.
"Qin has found a racing business partner, your father is on his way to poach the boss..."
"Racing Business partner? Hah! Who is stupid enough to want to collaborate with the Qin's. Daddy will give them a better offer, let's see how they will rise after that." Wu Li stroked Wu Tang's hair with a smile on her face.
"Alright, alright, let's leave now. Our appointment with the owner of M Fashion Industry has been booked. We have to leave now."
"Okay. I'm ready."
Mother and Daughter sauntered down the stairs and into the car. Little did they know that their peaceful life was about to come to an end.
RACING PALACE
Wu Xin entered into the company with a smug look on his face, is shoulders were raised high and he walked with confidence. It was as if he was sure that what he came to do today will be successful. As soon as he entered to company itself, he met Manager Bai who was passing along while holding some documents. Wu Xin called put his name and when Manager Bai stopped, he walked towards him.
"Manager Bai, can I see your boss? I have something to tell him!" Without even exchanging pleasantries, Wu Xin said to Manager Bai and the latter stared at him in annoyance. Who is this person? However, he replied good naturedly.
"Do you have an appointment with her?"
"No.... But... Just tell him that Wu Xin has come to see him, he will want to meet me." Wu Xin said proudly with his chest puffed up like a preening peacock. What he expected next was for Manager Bai to shiver in fear and immediately go to call the owner of the company, however, his expectations would be buried.
Manager Bai snorted. Does this man think that their boss has enough time to deal with idiots like him? She has school to attend, "If you don't have an appointment with the boss, then you can leave. Come back when you have booked an appointment with her."
"Her? Your boss is a woman?"
Manager Bai shrugged "So?"
Wu Xin was about to say something but the arrival of Mr Qin cut him short, "Manager Bai..." Mr Qin started slowly when he saw Wu Xin standing in front of the office.
"Oh! Mr Qin, you made it." Manager Bai's voice did a ninety degree change. The harsh tone he used with Wu Xin turned to a very soft and amicable tone, "Boss has been waiting for you. Please, come with me."
"Manager..." Wu Xin started again but Manager Bai cut him off, "Mr Wu, I'm giving you enough face not to call the security guards to escort you out." Manager Bai and Mr Qin left the fuming Wu Xin at the door. Wu Xin scowled and chuckled darkly.
_I'll make sure your business is gone from this world! Let's see how far you can go!
Mr Qin followed Manager Bai into the office and told him to wait for the Wu Mei. Not long after he left, Wu Mei entered the office where she saw Mr Qin sitting. Mr Qin turned, but not thinking that Wu Mei might be the boss. He stood up, walked up to her and smiled.
"Little Lady, are you lost? Or are you looking for someone, can you tell me who out are looking for? Sit and maybe I can find the person for you." Mr Qin ushered Wu Mei to the seat besides him, as he was about to ask her who she came here to find, Wu Mei spoke.
"Are you Mr Qin?"
"Huh?" Surprised at the sudden question, Mr Qin wasn't able to answer fast.
Wu Mei raised her eyebrows, "Are you Mr Qin?"
"Oh, yes. Yes I am. But why..."
"Manager Bai, you must have sent the documents to him right? Conduct the interview here so I can watch his performance. It would be nice to see his capabilities." Wu Mei crossed her legs as she leaned back on her seat.
Mr Qin looked confused as he began to wrung his hands together, "What... What is happening?"
Manager Bai entered the office with a covered paper, "Alright. Mr Qin, you heard what the boss said, I will be conducting the interview here so loosen up and answer me to the best of your abilities. If you can answer correctly, you will be given the position of the Co- Director of Racing Palace. Do your best." Mr Bai smiled at the still surprised Mr Qin who nodded confusedly.
After the interview, Mr Bai took the papers to his own office to grade and he told Mr Qin to follow him.
"Alright." The both of them went outside, as they did, they passed Shanshan who greeted the both of them and went into the office to meet Wu Mei.
"But Manager Bai... Who is she?"
"Her? She is the Boss of Racing Palace. She was able to acquire this place some years ago from the hands of someone who likes her a lot."
"Eh."
