"Yeah, you did. I am so proud of you," Yang Zi said, patting her back. Everyoneughed when they saw the drama between Yang Zi and Wen Min unfolding in their presence. They would have assumed that Yang Zi and Wen Min were friends before they came to the resort if they didn''t know what really made Wen Min start admiring Yang Zi. All her teammates rejoiced with her. They were so happy to see Yang Zi''s mood brighten after all the jubtion.
The game master scheduled thest round in ten minutes following the second round. And it was during the time the fourpeting teams were selecting their representatives for the finals that Yifeng and Su Jin arrived. At first everyone thought they were there to watch thepetition until the CEO made it known to his team that he was representing them for the finals. Yang Zi''s team and two other teams were supposed topete against Yifeng''s team, but no guy wanted topete when they learned that it was their boss they wouldpete against. "Who in the right mind will want topete against the person who issues his/her paycheck?" The guys thought as they refused to represent their various teams. The team leader of team 6 resigned to fate when all the guys refused topete against their boss. ??
"Mrs Shen, what happened? Why do you look so disheartened?" Yang Zi asked the woman who was now sitting down beside her. Mrs Shen was their team leader.
"Our team does not have any representatives for the guy''s finals. All those who showed interest in it earlier said they aren''t anymore when they heard that they were topete against CEO Li," Mrs Shen replied dejectedly. For the first time in so many years after the establishment of the Christmas five days'' holiday, she really wanted her team to win after seeing all the achievements they aplished within the span of two days.
"What? How could they be so cowardly to dish out on you? This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard since I came to the camp. It is called apetition so whom youpete against does not matter even though it means that person you arepeting against is your boss because during thepetition you should only see him as yourpetitor if you don''t want to lose. How could they not understand this simple phenomenon?" Yang Zi shouted, pissed off at the ridiculous thing she just heard.
"Miss Yang, please calm down. I am not affected by this recent development because I am the team leader, but because of my teammates who have tried very hard to get us to the current position we are. I have seen just how much you want our team toe out triumphant in all thepetition at the end of the holiday. Too bad there is nothing we can do about this since no one wants topete against the boss," Mrs Shen said sighing depressingly.
"Mrs Shen, was there any rule that says ady cannotpete against the guys?" Yang Zi asked curiously, taking Mrs Shen by surprise.
"No, there were no such rules, but why did you ask Miss Yang? Don''t tell me you want topete against the Boss?" Mrs Shen asked rmed.
"Yes, you are right although I can''t guarantee you I will take first position but I will try my best. I will definitely not go easy on any of the guys including him even though he is my boss," Yang Zi dered firmly. Mrs Shen''s mouth dropped open in shock at the youngdy''s bravery. Even she was afraid of the boss, so who what gives thisdy beside her the guts to be so fearless?
"Miss Yang, I know you want us to win, but I will suggest you think twice about this. We are referring to CEO Li not your colleagues here, so there is no need to be so sensitive about this," Mrs Shen said to dissuade Yang Zi but Yang Zi''s mind was already made up and it was almost impossible to make Yang Zi change her mind whenever she was determined to do something.
"I am certain about this. Don''t worry, I won''t disappoint you. Just like CEO Li won a golden medal in the university in a swimmingpetition, I also won a golden medal too, so I am not inferior to him in any way. Even if I don''t take first position, be rest assured I will definitely take second position," Yang Zi said smiling just to ease the woman''s anxiety. Mrs Shen could not reject her request when she saw how determined Yang Zi was.
"Ok, Miss Yang but you know you can''t swim in this dress right? You need to change into your swimsuit," Mrs Shen said, shing her a smile too. She felt so blessed to have such a multi-talenteddy in her team.
"I will do just that," Yang Zi said before she stood up and walked away. She smiled sweetly at Su Jin when she walked close to where Su Jin and Yifeng were sitting down. Nobody knew whom she beamed that smile at. Her actions also made Su Jin confused. He looked at Yifeng questioningly to see whether he knew why she did what she did.
"Feng, what is your little secretary up to? I think she is up to some mischief again," Su Jin smirked wickedly after Yang Zi passed.
"I thought the both of you are close, so why don''t you ask her yourself?" Yifeng fired back sharply, shutting Su Jin up. Su Jin who knew how terrible his best friend''s mood had been for the past two days just stared at his annoyed face making no furtherments but deep down he could not wait to see what Yang Zi was up to.
News about Yang Zi being the one topete against their boss travelled like wildfire. When she resurfaced d in her swimsuits, their indistinct voices became louder like they were just waiting for her. Yang Zi did not need anyone to tell her what must have caused the low chattering. She knew they were gossiping about how shameless she was. She would have gotten seriously hurt by their words if she was a regrdy. Too bad they didn''t know that they were just wasting their energy and time on her. "She is Yang Zi who doesn''t give a damn about what people say about her. She is a queen of her own world. Haters words don''t get to her".
