After Yang Tian-Xu went back into the general manager's office, he messages Assistant Tseng with his smart phone, “After you got the new admission card, bring them to me first.”
"Yes, boss!" Assistant Tseng messaged him back. But he wondered, "Why can't I delivered it over to Wang Yi-An directly? I had to walk by her first before I go see him in his office." Assistant Tseng disregards his confusion. He puts down his belongings in his office, and he rushed to the HR department on level six.
In the Human Resource department; he places a request for Wang Yi-An’s new access card, and because everyone knew he is the president’s assistant. They finished his application quickly; his wait time was only ten minutes while others would have waited longer. When Assistant Tseng had received the new access card, he went ahead to message Yang Tian-Xu. “Boss I had just received the card. I am on my way back.”
The messages appear on Yang Tian-Xu’s smartphone, and he messages him back. “Remember to give it to me first!” Assistant Tseng saw the message and wanted to send a sweating emoji, but he did not. He sent him a simple, “yes sir!”
Yang Tian-Xu put down his smartphone on the table and smiled, he desired to be the first to get her card, and he wanted to be the one to give it to her. Today he felt the happiest all week long! He looked out the small window from his seat. He looked at Wang Yi-An as she sat there at the desk.
Wang Yi-An was still outside waiting; as she sat in the secretary’s desk. Siting around doing nothing isn't how she was taught, she was raise and learn to be active in her duties. And so she stood up, approached the door and knocked; the sign on the door displayed, 'General Manager'. Just as Yang Tian-Xu saw her walking towards the door, he panics for a bit, but then he briskly regains his composure.
"Come in." He said, he sat like a king. Wang Yi-An opened the door and walked in, as she asked him as she closed the door behind her. "Would you like me to help you with anything, President Yang?"
Yang Tian-Xu tried to remain calm as he replied to her. “Not at the moment. We need to provide you a new access card first.”
The interns each received their own access card during orientation. Assistant Tseng explained the importances of these cards, and how to use them. A special coded magnetic stripe on the back of the card; Yang Corps high-end security machines at every door and equipment can only be accessible through the card usage.
With important informations on the cards, containing their name, address, height, weight, and identification number; assigned by Human Resource and loaded into their cards. They must swipe or scan each time to use a machine, open a door, or sign-out supplies in the supply room. Each time they swipe or scan their card, it would appear in their record in Yang Corps headquarter.
Assistant Tseng had already told them how to use the access card, without it; entering the upper floor levels would be impossible. In the elevator, the elevator-lady only worked at certain hours, it would be impossible for her to be there 24/7. Sometimes the project would require employees to work overtime in the office.
The access card also functions as the employee’s punch-card, because it recorded the time when they entered and exited the building. However, the most critical function of the access card is the payroll.
Employees can use the card like a bank card; using with their fingerprint at any Yang Corps’ Bank branches, they can access, and withdraw their pay, or use it directly through other merchant machines.
Wang Yi-An would need a new card because of the specified magnetic strip code. The magnetic strips have both digital coding and physical marking on the access card.
The physical trademark are small engraves that one cannot see with the naked eye; the code markings are encrypted, there have never been a single hacker that can penetrate Yang Corps securities. Both the physical and digital markings on the card made it seems almost impossible to hack.
“A new card?” She questioned. She apparently has one hanging around her neck.
“Yes.” He explained to her the details. “Every floors’ division has an access lock and needs a specified authorised key to open. We need to remake your access card so you can open the entrance door to this division.”
"Okay, then would you like me to return you this one?" She said as she was about to remove the card from around her neck. Yang Tian-Xu quickly told her, "It’s alright, you hold on to that until your replacement comes."
"Oh, then I will hold on to it until then, but what happens to it?" She looked at the card as she gripped it.
"The company has a manufacturer that can recycle old cards. Don't worry too much about it going to waste."
"Okay, anything you want me to do while we wait?"
"No, you may sit and wait until your new access card arrives, this is because you can’t even access the computer until you have your new access key. Please just relax for a while until your new card comes." He smiled at her and hoped that she would give him a grin.
"Okay, thank you very much, President Yang, I will be back in my seat until then." Wang Yi-An gave him a slight bow, as she turned around and returned to her seat. Then she pulled out her sketchbook and drew. He felt disappointed as he watched her leaves. He really wanted to see her smile at him again.
