It is true to say, without exaggeration, that even the rats on the street knew Perficent.
A company so perfect, so proficient, so efficient. There was no industry that didn't have a branch of Perficent.
It simply dabbled in everything- Entertainment, Weaponry, Machinary, Technology, Service, Architecture, Real Estate....the list goes on.
Ninety nine percent of the time, Perficent dominated each industry- ninety nine because of the rare occasion where one company manages to surpass it in sales - for a second,that is.
R&I's main sales was under Perficent Beauty and Fashion's many stores across the world.
Starlight Entertainment's most successful movies and project were under collaboration with Perficent Entertainments.
Zheng Corps main buyer and supplier of materials for weaponry was Perficent Weaponry and Armor.
The Mabil military's main funder who funds Two hundred billion dollars per year was Perficent Funds and Charity.
Whiteson's materials and goods for making devices are purchased from Perficent Technology and Devices.
What is trying to be conveyed is that without Perficent's meddling in many things and matters of the world, it(the world) would almost be dysfunctional.
The creme de la creme of this backbone is that there is no heredritary system.
The Head of Perficent is given a term of forty five years on the seat. As this is an odd number, the head actually rules for forty four years and on the last year the expected and chosen candidate heads the empire as training.
Yes, candidate. The minute a Head is chosen, a selected group of children are picked out and trained through the course of twenty years, by the Head, before managing a chosen major branch until the end of the heads term.
The candidates are actually kids from all over hoping to get a piece of the pie and get chosen to head the empire. Yes there is no specifications for a child.
If the candidate who has managed to complete the training and beat the others, fails to satisfy the expectations given, the Board of Directors bring their own trained candidate who will replace the head's candidate.
If both fail, the the ruling head will have to serve another twenty years to produce a suitable candidate.
If the head's candidate satisfies the expectations he/she is crowned head of the Empire after the last year of the term for the head ends. The Board of Directors candidate will serve as the assistant of the head and like wise.
Many families send their children to the selection, even at the tender age of two, hoping that they would be the chosen candidate.
It could be seen that this was a very huge matter.

The only reason why they couldn't recognize the Heir of Perficent was because the candidates are usually shown only twice- when they have been selected and when they have been crowned.
As such, a five year old Bai would look different from this one who seemed to be in his middle twenties.
Bai An fisted his hand, brought it to his cherry lips and coughed quietly.
"Cough."
This small sound broke the trance of the men surrounding him.
He didn't think his identity was that much...he just wanted to enjoy this vacation-ish- since he had just finished his training.
The Head was a friend of a friend of Director Aaron so through his recommendation, Bai found himself here.
He stared at the several handsome faces boring holes into his body and his heart didn't fluctuate even a bit.
"Heir of Perficent?" The Man bun...Chase asked.
"Yes." Bai An nodded his head as he responded.
Suddenly, all of them gave him a slight bow to show respect. After all, this person in front of them was going to be the head of Perficent, which was the Empire that could build or break a person.
Bai An was stunned and bowed back to them.
The others were left shocked and bowed to Bai An again.
Bai furrowed his brows elegantly and repeated the action to them.
Then they stood and stared at each other.
The thoughts running in their minds were:
'What an interesting, cute heir, I feel like I know him..' Ryan narrowed his eyes with a quirked lip.
'Hm..Bai An...now I'm definitely participating in this.' Ace had a grin on his face.
'Such a gorgeous specimen. This..just got better.' Dion's eyes expressed his emotions.
' An opportunity not to be wasted. I'll have to connect with this angel.' Chase flicked his gold rimmed glasses up in anticipation.
' How dazzling...such a good pie fell from the sky. This will both benefit and make me enjoy myself.' Qiang Tao now hid a sly smile.
Meanwhile Wu, Grey, Fu : I suddenly feel an omnious premonition for my future.

Ah! Ah!
Director Aaron leaned his ear on the door with an excited smile. Ha! Everything went just as he wanted it to go.
"Sir..." A curvy woman in glasses caught her superior leaning on the door and sticking his butt in the air. Director Aaron jumped in shock and turned around with an utterly serious and grave expression on his face.
Director Aaron:(ಠ,_｣ಠ)
"Yes..Oh Maya! You scared the soul out of me!" The old man patted his chest as he greeted his long term friend, his facade falling off disgracefully.
"Your...documents sir." Maya reminded as she rolled her eyes awkwardly and she held the sheets that Director Aaron had mentioned in the meeting.
They were at work, he shouldn't act all cozy with her. Didn't he fear a scandal? Maya grumbled in her mind.
"Right..." The happy light in Aaron's eyes dimmed as Maya dismissed his attempt to strike up a conversation. He took the papers from her hand but before he turned to enter the room, Maya grabbed his hand.
Her body leaned forward and she squeezed her breasts on his back.
"We'll meet later at your place, yea?" Her voice tickled his ear.
"S-sure, I'll see you later." Aaron stuttered and scrambled away in flusteredness.
Maya let out a small chuckle and shook her head lightly. What a cute man..

A/N: Don't misunderstand, Aaron is just 43 years old. He refers himself as old because most of the time he is surrounded by 20-30 year olds.
Maya is 39 years old.
Also this is the 3/3 chapter for the week.
