TL: I do not want her in my team. She has zero background of what we do. And she cant run as fast as us. No martial arts background.
The team lead wasnt happy when the trainer introduced me to her. The rest are under her command & none of them were looking at me lol!
Trainer: She is joining the team. No arguements. Besides you are the one who requests for someone. And you know none wants to work with you. She’s new.
TL: EXACTLY. Why would i want a dumb bitch!
Trainer: She passed the training grounds in 30mins, if you insists she’s new. And you being an old seasoned player, how can you not solved it in years.
TL: thats not possible!
Trainer: Shes not new to this scene. I will leave it to her to introduce herself though i dont think she would. You guys are free to do background checks on her but you wont be able to find anything.
TL: this is why i said shes new! She doesnt deserve us!
‘Actually we dont deserve her, i will take care of her. I recognise her ring. But i will let her do the introduction when you are ready.’ – a boyish voice came from the back. And this boy whose a little shorter than me, otherwise about the same height.
The trainer winked, at me.
TL: shes a burden!
The boy: We need her.
TL: Not me.
The boy: then you will lose me as well. She can finish jobs solo & we cant. Dont you think we dont deserve her at all? Arent we her responsibility instead?
TL: you just met her! What makes you so sure!
The boy: that ring on her finger. Only 3 has that.
TL: why dont you get one then.
The boy: i cant. There are too many things i cant handle.
TL: then shes a fake.
The boy: could you remove your ring?
I smiled. I knew what experiment he wants.
I handed him my ring.
The boy to his TL: you have seen me holding it. Now you try to hold it if you think this is a fake.
The moment the team lead tried to hold it, it disappeared and went back to my finger.
TL: this is nonsense!
The boy: its on her finger. If you are the team lead, how is it you havent heard of this. And i know this ring owner doesnt do recruiting. I would be glad to grab this opportunity to take care of her in here.

Before whatever happened:
Me: Are you crazy! I dont want to work with her!!
Trainer: you will be able to remove that arrogance in her.
Me: what about zixing?
Trainer: she did say you are a better candidate. You know she’s softer. That team lead is too arrogant for her.
Me: Are you trying to make use of my identity!!!! Nooooooo!
Trainer: You have to take this. If Zixing commented you are a better candidate, you are.
Me: I would give face to her BUT!
Trainer: No buts. I am sure someone in the team will help you.
Me: Thats her strongest team member… He cant possibly be thinking to piggyback me and run.
Trainer: He can. And you 2 make a better team. Unleash potential.
Me: ………..
Trainer: you will be fine.
Me: She will explode.
Trainer: When she knows about your identity, maybe she will. Shes too arrogant for her own good.
Me: Upper management didnt bother too.
Trainer: AHEM!
Me: i am not part of it leh. Since when?
Trainer: ……
Me: Is this group part of my kpi?
Trainer: Its the TL kpi. You have the rights to torture her but i dont think you have time to play with her.
Me: Is she considered seasoned?
Trainer: no. I know what you want to ask. Her position comes from the family, similar as yours.
Me: but how did she stay in her position for so long?
Trainer: her mates. But she has less than 5. You will decide her fate but we are not telling her that.
Me: ahhh upper management knows?
Trainer: zixing submitted your name.
Me: omg. She must be kidding!
