Hi all this is a follow up to the after 2 years for the previous story of my good for nothing life. Reason i am writing this is i am still battling the alcohol addiction and i need to take my mind off booze even though i been sober for 3 months which is really nothing.
Please do note i am a 186 to 187 cm guy who is often seen as no threat this people will relate their grievances or guilt to me. This story will be darker and depressing as it explores blackpill and hypergamy. It may offend some seniors but then again life is a struggle.
So this is it as i stared at my bank balance working out how long can i stayed jobless with 1 meal a day. I left the hotel job after the contract ends on mid jan. Now is end jan i have to seized the moment as i am still fresh knowing i will give up if i remain jobless and will go for night shift job again.
I buckled up my bag containing resumes and a bottle of plain water. There was only a company today it was in east area. It was a big company of a standalone building by itself.
I prayed to my somdej and ajarn fon to just make things right. I prayed please do not get me insult today job interview has became a daily phobia again. What are the chances of meeting a hr like ann. Nil.
I was at the receptionist the hr executive came out direct me to a room.
Hr passed me the application form to fill up. I looked at the form if there was a application form filling contest or a shredding of application form contest with bare hands i think i be the number one.
Hr: please wait here i go and bring in the vp for conducting your interview mr yam.
She squealed the last line with delight i was thinking why was she so happy.
She was perhaps in her mid thirties the typical plumpish hr.
10 min later in came a tall man about 180cm he was tall and skinny but he was very good looking. Yutaka takenechi a japan actor was the first name thar pop out. Very classy gentleman lookking.
I stood up to shook his hand the handshake was firm and assuring. I noticed he had a glass of tea with 2 teabag hanging in his other hand.
So came the interview. The hr executive was gashing i was like no need be so star struck.
Came the usual question of what is my last job scope etc.
He took a look at my transcript and form and nodded.
Yam: not bad only a credit grade for contract law module the rest are distinction.
How come you put inyour form that you reject us to call your ex company.
I hesistated i told ann previously i found a job already.
Me: i attached my past 3 months pay slips. I think it will be awkard.
Yam: why they never convert you to perm or extension of contract.
Me: i need a new enviroment.
As sooon as i blurt it out i realised i spoken the wrong answer. Lucky yam never enquiry further.
Yam: i am the current vp in charge of marketiing as well as project handling. I just joined this company 2 weeks ago as well.
Yam taking a sip of the black tea: I am hired by the chef operating officer to come here to man the project and marketing operation. I have bring along my team as well 2 project manager. However the position I am looking for needs to be my personal assistant as well. Are you okay with it?
Me thinking he won’t hire me as well : yes I am interested.
Yam: great I need some one with marketing qualifications as well as zero experience in technology field as it is like a blank paper more easier to guide .
Me thinking: ya la ya la the next line he will say is you can leave now If no more questions I will contact you once you been shortlisted. I been hearing this tagline frequently.
Yam: OK if no question you can leave. I will keep in touch if shortlisted.
He scrolled down to my particulars:. I live in the condo area beside Redhill mrt.
Your block is the hdb area opposite right?
I nodded thinking of OK la won’t be seeing you anyway atas people like you do not go Redhill market shake legs and drink kopi.
So I was hired. Yam is short name for Yamamoto. Yam is a Japanese hailing with a master degree from an ivy league university which i found out later.
First day of work includes the usual introduction to various department shown by the hr. Every woman started to take interest in me as they want to kNow what kind of person did yam hired as a pa. For some women I can sense their envious which translates into jealousy.
Lunch time came and yam asked me to go for lunch with 1 of his project manager ken. Ken was a short pudgy guy who always smell of cigarettes his teeth are darkened by the constant chain smoking. Yam told me his other project manager was maning the accounts in Kuala Lumpur branch.
Ken blurt out when chewing a piece of roasted meat: chiobu Taipei girl.
During the first meal yam told me my job scope basically I need to report to him the daily schedule of meeting and every Monday I need to work out a percentage of completion poc for each project and marketing wise I need to look at the website of various competitors and work with our web engineer. Ken will guide me on the various feature of the devices. Basically I was bombarded with new information .
My other job scope will be to buy lunch for yam basically he will tell me what he wishes to eat at 11 am so basically it’s fish soup from a nearby food court he needs to eat 3 types of fish salmon tilapia and mackerel I just told the auntie 三種魚。It’s either fish soup or sushi.
My desk was in front of yam office room our team consist of ken , 2 engineer and few technicians. Women from finance department will always called me and asked what time yam is in so that they can come into the office to have him sign the po form but they can just
[email protected]
the stack wih me . This culture was way different from hotel culture.
Yam will always hold his glass of black tea and end of the day he will placed it on my table asked me to help him wash. There’s a rumor that some girls will go into our department and hold that glass perhaps French kissing that glass. This was never verified by me but I did knew that the glass will frequently moved afteri wash and placed it at the end of day it wil be slightly moved the next day I entered .
Ken and I will called that glass of tea 神水 or holy water
2nd week into the job ken talking to yam: can I pass the coordinating of Malaysia project to thickskin33.
Yam taking a sip of the black tea: OK introduce him to Anyi and her team.
I kid you not if yam was zhuge liang the black tea was his beloved fan.
Ken grinned at me: come I introduce you to heaven and hell. He took out his log book and asked me to write down the Malaysia team email and log into our intranet.
He introduced me to Malaysia managing director followed by the project manager Anyi.
Ken: Taiwan chiobu. Good to see but temper will burn you. Stay out of her way .
I took a look at her profile picture: the typical ice beauty type the type most normal tier man will stay away from. She is tall and lean resemble the famous YouTuber 馬臉姐。
Ken went on to guide me on the coordination basically we sold them our products and I need to issue po etc for the goods and marketing services of the website.
Normally I will liaise with their counterpart coordinator.
Thus begin my first interaction with Malaysian part I email them the purchases as well as manpower for the month waiting for their affirmation.
It was 7pm yam and the other have knock off I was tidying up my desk as well as finish washing yam holy tea glass. My phone rang. A cold voice spoke in perfect crisp Mandarin I knew whom it was.
Anyi:. Is that thickskin.
Me: yes.
Anyi : I gone through your report you over quote me you better take a look again and resend.
I was hastily opening the file as the number of parts I quote was numerous I fidgeted quite a bit.
Anyi yelled: have you found the error. You seem blur.
She said in a sarcastic tone:. Do you want to take a sip of yam tea to improve your intelligence. Send me the amended copy again and she hang up.
I remember finding the error and resending after I knocked off I recalled taking a bus and finding myself glancing at the hotel which I worked before from a far distance.
I sighed and remember the proverbs you learn from mistake but in real life how many people will give you a chance when you made a mistake.
After that incident anyi made a complaint to yam and ken. Yam appear emotionless just told me not to make the same mistake. After that incident I was especially careful in dealing with anyi .
It was the second month in the company I had sorta got the hang of the whole culture. Common gossip place as in MNC yam was a 男神 in the eyes of various department. You literally see all the women present in the weekly reporting of revenue whenever yam has to walk down a path crossing the hr and finance department to the CEO office for his weekly reporting. I was always tagging behind taking down the minutes and eyeing at the commotion whenever he walked past the women there was giggling.
I realize he really did live opposite my home as there was a weekend I saw him walking to anchor point cold storage from that day onwards I never step foot in anchor point. I did bump into him a few time in Redhill market whereby he was pushing a baby stroller yes he was married according to ken. His wife was the typical Japan housewife.
I was converted to perm on my fourth month a month later than the usual 3 months.
Yam: we are having a team building next month can you arrange accommodation for anyi and her team.
I frozed on the spot.
Yam: are you able to get discount at your previous hotel.
Me stunned but I need to prove to yam I can solve problems too thus I nodded my head. Only anyi and the Malaysia managing director will be attending. 2 rooms I only need 2 rooms.
I called the front office manager fo.
Fo : how have you been lately.
Me: OK la I need 2 rooms to host my superiors got special rate .
Fo : your stay period is non peak but only can give 10 percent discount and complimentary breakfast. You OK what room you have in mind.
Me: room 0525 and another one you chose.
Fo : room 0525 you should knew that room guest complaint of weird noise and often the towel will drop to floor. You into ghost hunting industry now.
Me: ya sorta I be bringing a fox vixen in. A fierce one.
