Working in China

[cavemanng]

Hi Everyone,

I have read a lot of brilliant stories here so I will contribute my real life story here and I hope all the bros here will like it.

I hope all the bros be patient with my contribution and please don't zap me if you dont like my story.

Chapter 1: Introduction

I am born in a poor family where my family struggled with with our daily expenses. I spent a tough time working during my secondary school vacation and also at night during my polytechnic days to make sure I finished my polytechnic education. Life changes when I did very well in my polytechnic education and I managed to get a private scholarship to study in one of the local university.

Life suddenly became a breeze as I don't have to worry about my financials anymore and I can just concentrate on my studies. I did very well and graduated with a first class honors. After graduation, finding a job is not a problem and I spent the next 10 years working in a few MNC companies holding various key appointments. I also married a beautiful wife and move into a nice home.

My wife and I are married for five years without any children and a lot of our friends envy our carefree where we can have at least 2 vacations per year. Suddenly our life started to change.........................

I will be writing chapter 2 shortly

Chapter 2 (Receiving the news of my china posting)

It was a usual Mon morning when I receive a call from my vice president who is overseas.

Vice President: Good morning, Wong

Me: Good morning! How's things going

Vice President: Great! I have a great news for you. Well, we need someone to revamp our china operations and as you are aware, the old group of management arent doing so well.

Me: Well, I dont have plans to move overseas. Further more, I am reluctant to be away from my wife.

Vice President: Wong, we have considered a few of our key management staff and we feel that you are the most suitable candidate. You are good in english and mandarin. In addition, you are technically incline and also you have lots of experience in R&D, Procurement and Project management. Furthermore, you have the required leadership to lead them out of this crisis

Me: Ok boss, l dont have plans to be there permanently but I dont mind spending 3 weeks in China and 1 week back in Singapore to see whether I can adapt to this new appointment. Well, if I like the place, who knows?

Vice President: Ok, sounds great! I will issue a memo out to them but get ready for your trip! I am sure you will love that place!

Seriously, I dont know how to react to this news and I spent the whole day sitting aimlessly in my office until I go home. I read home early and have dinner with my wife before both of us head towards our study room to do our work.

Me: Dear, I have something to talk to you.

My wife: Yes, what's up. I have an urgent report to submit but I will always have time for you.

Me: Well, my boss ask me to take up an overseas appointment and I am reluctant to do it! I dont want to be away from home.

My wife: Well, if you look at this in a different perspective, I think you will gain a lot of valuable exposure. Anyway, this will make your CV looks even better. Why not give it a shot?

Me: Well, but I will be away for long period of time.

My wife: It is not a problem. With today's technology, we have skype, facetime and many other means of communication. Furthermore, China is just a few hours away.

Me: .....................................

My wife: Hey, dont be a big kid! Just don't fool around as I know there are many beautiful girls in China!

Chapter 3: The day finally came

My PA: Good morning boss! Please be reminded that your flight is at 2pm in the afternoon.

Me: Yeah. I know that...(Still reluctant to go)

My PA: Sorry boss, I couldnt accompany you for this overseas appointment but enjoy yourself

Me: Well, if I am there permanently, you can kiss your job goodbye. You better pray I hate that place. Haha!

My PA: Haha! Take care boss.

I sat in the business class on our beloved Singapore airlines and I realize that the hotter and younger chicks are in economy class. Wrong choice!

After a few hours, I finally landed. I walked out of the arrival hall and there is a lady and a guy holding a board with my name on it! Our conversation is in chinese but I will write in english

Joyce: Good evening boss, my name is Joyce and I am your new PA when you are in china

Me: Wow! China is a place with lots of beauty. With a closer look, I can see she has a great figure! I estimate her boob size is at least 34E and she is very slim. She has a little expose cleavage but not a lot.

Joyce: Boss, this is your personal driver, Xiao Li.

Xiao Li: Good evening boss!

Joyce: Boss, we will send you back to your hotel before we bring you for dinner.

Me: Well, I am tired so let me settle my dinner at the hotel and both of you can go once you drop me off.

Both of them dropped me off at the hotel and I walk around the hotel exploring what's there in China

Chapter 4: Knowing Ping

I walk around the premises and realize that there are many massage parlours where they do body and leg massage for a fraction of the prices in Singapore. Since I had a tiring journey today, I should pamper myself today. I walked into a shop where the deco is quite nice and I am served by a young lady.

Young Lady: Good evening. We have foot and body massage. What do you like to have?

Me: Ok, I will go for an hour of foot massage

One hour flies and I am about to pay when I see a stunning lady in her middle thirties.

Ping: How are you? Are you from Beijing?

Me: No, I am from Singapore.

Ping: Oh Singapore! Nice country. My name is Ping and I own 3 massage parlours.

Me: Wow! That's very capable of you. My name is Wong. From her look, I can tell she is not a simple lady but is one that has both beauty and brains.

Ping: This is my card and this is number. Do you mind leaving me your number as well?

Me: Ok, no problem! Anyway, it is my company mobile.

After the massage, I return to my hotel, call my wife and I went to bed.

Xiao Li and Joyce came punctually to pick me up from the hotel at 9am.

Joyce: Boss, the management team is waiting for you in office

Me: Ok, let's go

When I reach office, I am greet by the china senior management. The names of those assholes are not important in these story. Anyway, once I am in China, I start to understand what is the meaning of 管管相互。 (Means all officials protects one another).

Joyce: Boss, later at 1pm, the senior management wants to buy you a welcome lunch.

Me: Thinking (Trying to carry my balls). No, I am told there is a canteen here which cater food for the staff, can I take a look? Let me try the food there.

HR Manager: Erh...Are you sure boss?

Me: Yes, let's go after this meeting

I went to the canteen with those senior management and from there, I can see a huge difference in the treatment between a management staff and a worker.

Worker area:
1) Totally hot like hell. Once you step in, it feels so warm
2) Food is like shit! Worst than the time when I am in army more than 10 years ago
3) Whole area is dirty like shit!
4) Those workers are practically treated like dogs

Management area:
1) Fully aircon
2) Newly and nicely decorated
3) Food like hotel standard
4) Practically treated like king

Me: HR Manager! What is this! How can we treat our worker like this?

HR Manager: Boss, this is China. They are just lowly workers

Me: I dont expect to treat them like king but we must at least give them a place where it is fit for human being. Look at the weather, it is so hot and how can we let them eat in a place where there is even no ventilation!

HR Manager: Boss, not possible as this is not the practise in China

Me: If you dont get any fan installed within 3 days, you will not eat in the management canteen anymore but will also join the workers at their canteen. If this is not done within a week, then all the senior management including myself will be eating in the worker's canteen. I will close down the management canteen from then onwards! UNDERSTAND!

I think I did a bad job in my 1st day at work but I think proposal working in China is really not for me.

Ring Ring.......!

Me: Hello

Ping: Hello Wong, this is Ping. Remember me?

Me: Of course, you are that pretty lady I met yesterday! Haha! Starting to be cheeky

Ping: Hehe! No one says I am pretty. You are so sweet.

Me: What's up

Ping: Hey, are you free? Just want to ask you whether you want to have dinner together. We are considered friends right?

Me: Of course. Where should I meet you?

Ping: Where is your office? I will pick you up from there?

Me: Erh...Xiao Li! Can you tell her what is our office address?

Ping: Got it! I will be there in 30 mins

Me: Sure!

[owl888]

Wow, Ping sounds interesting....wonder how she looks?

Upzz my 3 pts to support your story. Cheers!

[cavemanng]

Sorry guys for the delay. Just met up with Ping just now so it disrupt my story slight. Trying to write another chapter before I end for the day.

Chapter 5: Dinner time

I sat in my office waiting for Ping to turn up. To be honest, this lady has her own class and is quite successful. She is just in her thirties, slim, charming and looks exactly like a career woman. My 1st impression is she can be a senior management staff at any company.

Ring ring.................My mobile rang.

Ping: Wong, I am here at the security post. Come over

Me: Ok, give me 5 minutes to pick up my stuff. I arrived at the gate 5 mins later. Ping droves a red Mercedez Benz.

Ping: Come, let's hop on. We are running late.

Me: So where are we going for dinner?

Ping: I will bring you to a place

We spent a few hours having dinner and drinking some red wine, trying to know more about one another.

Ping actually divorce her husband many years back and then started running her own business. Things are going pretty well but I can tell that she put a lot of effort into her business.

She told me she had to go drinking with some big japanese clients as they introduce a lot of business to her. In addition, there is also this group of china guys (about 7) who always ask her out for dinner and always trying to get her drunk. I know what they are scheming. Haha!

I stopped her after her 2nd glass of red wine as I think it is dangerous to drink drive. She appreciated it and say I am the first person to stop her from drinking. I am a lousy drinker myself and I thought I will be the one who get drunk 1st.

She sped off an 120km/hr back to my hotel and I had to ask her to slow down as I dont want to die early. When I reach hotel, she held on to my arms and thank me for having dinner with her.

Interestingly, I dont know why but I feel a bit attracted to her

[cavemanng]

Chapter 6: Our relationship progresses

I spend the next 3-4 days screwing some of the staff for the shitty things that they did. I feel I did well because the HR manager install some fan and improve the air ventilation of the canteen. He also asked the caterer to improve the condition of the food and I feel relieve because despite being a very demanding boss, I always care for the welfare of the workers. I think I need a long long time before I can really clean up these act and I need to hire 1-2 right hand men to help me with this task.

Ping called my mobile and ask me out again. This time round, we had coffee at a small and cosy coffee house.

Ping: Wong, when are you going back to Singapore?

Me: Tomorrow midnight. I will be taking the midnight flight and have to stay in Singapore for a week as there will be a senior management meeting

Ping: What! So fast? I thought you are staying for another week.

Me: No. I dont have a choice as this is a big meeting

Ping: ...................................

Me: Well, do you miss me? Trying to be cheeky again

Ping: Yes. I dont know why but when I dont see you for the past few days, I feel very weird.

Me: Laughing inside my heart. Er.....I have good feelings about you too....

Ping reluctantly drop me near my hotel but this time round, she didnt drive into the lobby but stop by the road side. Before I can alight, she give me a kiss on my lips. I am shocked for what she did and I pause for a while. Both of us alight and she gave me a big hug.

Ping: I am going to miss you.

After saying this, she hopped onto her car and sped off before I could react.

My initial plan was to leave for the airport directly after work as I am catching a midnight flight. Because of Ping's reaction, I thought I have to amend my schedule a bit.

Guys, got to go. Meeting up with Ping. I will be back tomorrow
