Replying...
Intro. Mei Lin, the formidable manager of 'Celestial Ascent,' was in the midst of a meticulous search for rare Japanese tea leaves when she first saw him. His height was immediately noticeable, a silhouette cutting an impressive figure even against the backdrop of towering shelves. A moment of accidental observation stretched into a prolonged, intent gaze. Her professional instincts, honed over decades of spotting the extraordinary within the ordinary, screamed at her. This 'poor Chinese teenage boy,' as he described himself, was an unpolished diamond. She saw the athletic grace in his movements, the handsome lines of his face even as he stacked cans, and the deep potential lurking beneath the surface.
"Have you ever considered that perhaps your greatest talent isn't found stocking shelves?" she murmured, her voice carrying an edge of demand.
