Day Forty Three,
Mr. Wang asked one of his staffs to escort Buzzwordy and Bif back to their hotel. He gave both of them a nasty stare before they left the meeting room but he refrained from saying anything to either one of them.
Buzzwordy felt a sense of relief once he got back to his hotel room. He knew that his action had royally offended Mr. Wang, however, given the disadvantageous position that Bif and he were in, he concluded that calling the meeting off abruptly was the best option for them to take.
The challenge that Buzzwordy had was to figure out how to win this negotiation without initiating an all out war with Mr. Wang. He knew that Bif wasn't going to do anything, hence, the burden would be on his shoulder to make sure that he could end up being the winner in this tricky negotiation.
"Bif, are you in your room, I need to discuss with you about how to move forward with Mr. Wang?" asked Buzzwordy while standing outside of his Boss's room.
"Buzzwordy, I have a terrible headache at this moment. What I want you to do is to resolve this negotiation with Mr. Wang within today. I don't know what you're planning to do but it really doesn't matter to me since you are the one who called this meeting off without a proper ending. So, fixed it!" shouted Bif from inside the room.
"Alright Bif, I'll take care of it!" responded Buzzwordy.
It was an extremely down moment for Buzzwordy, especially knowing that Bif wasn't going to do anything to support him. He thought about Xavia back in the states and told himself that there was nothing that his immediate boss could do to help him out in this case. Once again, he had to fight the whole battle by himself.
He sent the below quick email to Mr. Wang and cc'ed Bif and Xavia,
Dear Mr. Wang,
I'm feeling much better now and if you're still available, I would like to re-start our meeting anytime this afternoon.
Please let me know.
Regards,
Buzzwordy
CC: Bif, Xavia
Oddly, Mr. Wang did not respond to him. Buzzwordy waited for more than two hours before sending another email to him. Again, Mr. Wang did not reply.
It was almost dinner time and Buzzwordy was becoming restless inside the hotel room. While slamming his body repeatedly into one of the walls to vent out his frustration, he heard someone knocking on the door.
"Excuse me, is Mr. Buzzwordy inside?" asked a wimpy female voice.
Buzzwordy came running to the door and opened it quickly. He saw an old lady standing outside of his room with a tiny envelope in her hand.
"Yes, I am. Are you with the hotel or did Mr. Wang send you here?" questioned the marketing whiz kid.
"I was sent by Mr. Wang to give you this envelope." replied the old lady.
"Thanks very much for bringing this envelope to me." replied Buzzwordy while reaching out to receive the envelope.
The old lady left the scene hurriedly and Buzzwordy wasted no time to open the envelope. He found a handwritten letter inside and suspected that it must be Mr. Wang's penmanship.
He gazed at the letter in total disbelief and was completely disoriented.
"What?" screamed Buzzwordy.
Lets reconnect on Day Forty Four.
