But Qin Yin pleaded, "Could you please tell them it will only take five minutes? Just five minutes, it won't take up too much of their time."
The assistant looked rather troubled. Just then, a man called Shen Mingfeng, the Finance Director, came out and asked, "Is there no one else?"
The assistant replied, "There's one more, but she's gone to the restroom."
Qin Yin quickly added, "She'll be back soon, really soon. Could you please wait for another five minutes?"
Shen Mingfeng glanced at Qin Yin. He remembered her quite well because her answers during the interview were witty and unconventional, unlike the formulaic responses offered by others. Her responses were seemingly off-the-cuff.
He smiled and said, "Alright, I'll make an exception this time, but don't expect it again."
"Great, thank you." Qin Yin quickly nodded, extending her hand to shake Mingfeng's, vigorously for a few times, "Thank you, thank you so much."
