At noon, Jiayi and Tang En'en went to the employee cafeteria for lunch.
Amid the bustling crowd, they picked a relatively quiet spot. One ordered Kung Pao chicken fried rice with a can of Coke, and they chatted while savoring their meal.
"Hey, how on earth did you manage to deliver the samples to Souty Road within half an hour?" Tang En'en was still curious and wouldn't miss the opportunity to ask during their break.
While scooping up rice, Jiayi mumbled an evasive response, "I just happened to hail a car when I left, and I was lucky that the driver knew a shortcut. Plus, we didn't hit traffic, caught all the green lights, and just floored it the rest of the way."
Tang En'en pursed her lips, still not quite convinced.
She had been to that client on Souty Road before, and each trip, whether by cab or subway, had been sweaty and disheveled.
Yet, Jiayi returned cool and refreshed, as if she had only visited the company next door.
