MY ONLY LOVE II : CHASING MY OWN DREAM - Chapter 2：CHAPTER 2

FLASHBACK

When Candy was studying in the USA she did some part time jobs, not because she lacked of money, but her father gave her limited money, just enough for living, he wanted to trained her to learnt about struggling for living, so he let her do some part time jobs. She started to worked at the library at her school in her second year, but she got bored after six months, then she worked at the flower shop for the next six months, she didn’t fit that job either. She worked quite a long time at the chinese restaurant near her university, she started as a waiter there, she enjoyed translating english into chinese fluently there, the owner liked her a lot. Sometimes she played with her violin at the week ends to entertained the customer there.

One day Hanson was there at that restaurant with his friends, he was interested listening to her violin playing, he gave her an applause after she finished her playing. He was thinking it would be great if he could play another music instrument together with her. The other year Hanson went into that restaurant again with his client and Candy took his order.

Candy :”Can I take your order sir ?”

Hanson :”OK I’d like to order your favorite menu here. Oh By the way, did you played violin here before ?”

Candy :”Yes sir, how do you know ?”

Hanson :”I saw you when you played once.”

Candy :”Oh I think it was the last time when we treated the orphanages here.”

Hanson :”Oh I see, did you play on special occasion only ?”

Hanson :”Hmm you played your violin well last time, I think we should play together someday.”

Candy :”Thank you sir.”

When Hanson was about to go home he searched for Candy, but he couldn’t find her, actually he’d like to ask her name, but he just left at that time. The next year when Hanson visited USA again, he went to that restaurant to seek for Candy, but too bad she was no longer working at that restaurant, he couldn’t get any information about her since he didn’t know her name either.

Hanson went to the office together with Candy that day, they started to had some chats in the car.

Hanson :”You said you were graduated from USC right ?

Candy :”Yes”

Hanson :”I was graduated from there too.”

Candy :”Really ? What major did you take ?”

Hanson :”I took hospitality management, but I think I’ve graduated when you entered that univ. That’s why we never met each other there. But … do I know you before ? Seems like I’ve seen you somewhere before.”

Candy :”Speaking of that, I think I’ve seen you too before, but I don’t know where. Were you still staying in USA after graduated ?”

Hanson :”Yeah about three years, I once working at an advertising company there. I also went to USA few times to see my clients the other years. When I was living in USA I used to go to my favorite chinese restaurant there, it’s called “Xuang Shi” (Double Happiness).”

Candy :”Ouw, I used to had part time work in that place ! Did we ever met each other in there ?”

Hanson :”Maybe…. ?”

The conversation that morning was stopped, since his car already on the parking lot.

Candy :”Ah… You forgot to dropped me on the street, we’ve already on the parking place now.”

Hanson :”It’s OK, we can get into the office together once in a while. No one will notice us.”

Hanson told her secretary to had meeting that day, he told his marketing manager to take a look at Candy’s designs. They discussed to each other, they were impressed by her concept. Hanson announced them that he would go on business trip to Japan to meet his big client, and he would take one person from the marketing department, he chose Marvin Guo since he had won the best achiever on last term. He also announced to take Candy with him too from design department. That announcement had made Jolin Sun as her supervisor upset, she asked directly to Hanson about it.

Jolin :”Sir, don’t you think it’s too risky to take someone who didn’t have enough experience to go with you to see big client ? I think it’s a big responsibility for us to take !”

Hanson :”Who do you mean ? Candy ? She had some experience working in the USA before, and I think is enough. Didn’t you see her basic drafts just now ?”

Jolin :”Yes, but….”

Hanson :”OK it’s enough, I don’t want to hear any excuses again, I just want to give her a try this time. If there isn’t anything else this meeting is dismiss now.”

Jolin was very upset with his decision and she planned something bad for her.”

The secretary Ms. Lee told Candy to go to Hanson’s room after the meeting ended. She met Marvin on her way to Hanson’s room.

Marvin :”Hi, are you the newbie Ms. Candy Wu ?”

Candy :”Yes I am, may I know who you are ?”

Marvin :”I’m Marvin Guo, I’m from the marketing depart. Do you want to go to CEO’s office ?”

Candy :”Yes, are you ?”

Marvin :”Yes, me too.”

Candy :”Do you know why we’ve been called ?”

Marvin :”I think it’s about a new project.”

Candy :”Ouh, what project ?”

Marvin :”We’ll find out soon.”

When they got into Hanson’s office he was still on the phone with someone, he told them to have a seat and wait a while.

Hanson :”Hi Candy, you must be wondering why I called you ?”

Candy :”Yes, I even got a glare from my supervisor when I walked here just now.”

Hanson :”Haha…. don’t worry. You must show to her your hard work then ! I called you just now because I want to inform you that you’ll go with me for business trip to Osaka next week together with Marvin. We’ll meet a big client there, it’s a cosmetic company.”

Candy :”Wow no wonder I felt someone’s envious ! So why did you choose me sir ?”

Hanson :”Because I was interested with your designs, I want to try something new and I want to give you a chance. Will you take it ?”

Candy :”Of course I will !”

Hanson :”Hahaha…. it’s a big responsibility you know ? You have to show me your best so that I can show to your supervisor that you’re worth it and my decision was right. Can you do it ?”

Candy :”Yes I can !”

Hanson :”Good, I like your spirit ! Marvin are you ready too ?”

Marvin :”Yes sir, I’ll do my best.”

Hanson :”OK now you have to prepare well for your presentation, you only have three days before we go. Show me your progress everyday.”

Candy & Marvin :”Yes sir”

Hanson :”OK you may go now”
