The hardest Chinese word

It is a name of a noodle store in China. However, I don't know this word even I can read Chinese.
The history of this word is from Chin dynasty in B.C. 221(秦朝，西元前221年).
One day the king went out with his staff member. They saw a farmer was eating noodle with enjoyable. Then the king sent his staff to ask the farmer what the noodle was. Actually it was just a common food and it had no special name. However, people knew the king was a cruel person, and he would get trouble if he couldn't answer the king's question.

"The noodle's name is 'Biang'" the farmer said casually.
"How did you write 'Biang'?" the king asked his staff.

Although the staff knew the farmer fabricated the name, he was also afraid of king would get angry if he didn't know how to write. Therefore the staff trumped up this strange and abnormal word.

Now the owner of this noodle store use this word as his brand name and attarcted many curious customers to taste his noodle.

秦王合併七國建立秦王朝後一日出遊，路遇一老農在田間吃麵
看上去非常享受。
於是派李斯上前詢問那是什麼麵，老農厭惡秦王的殘暴統治，
於是隨口應到"Biang Biang 面"，李斯回報秦王，
秦王問李斯 Biang字怎麼寫？
為怕答不出秦王發怒，李斯臨時機智造出此超級變態的字。

I am getting busy

In the first month, every new staff has to pass a series of trials. The trials are called project A to E. Now I have passed project A and B and I still have to challenge project C to E.

However, recently my boss assigned me a new important and urgent project. It is to analysis the car components market in China. This new project has occupied all my time because I started doing this project from zero. I am so new in this position.

I try to figure out the car market from the second-hand data, and asked my friend who is working in the relative field. Although I have to spend all my time, the information what I still need to know is enormous.

I can't understand why my boss is such brave to assign a new staff this project.

Welcome new staff

There are 10 people in my team and includs three new statff, like me. Last week, our team leader bought us a gorgeous lunch and afternoon tea. We had a wonderful afternoon. We talked a lot and I felt to get more involved into this new company. I didn't do an work that day because when we finished and returned the office, the time was almost five o'clock. It meant I have to overwork again.

My company is an IT industrial consultant firm and my team are focus on Asia market.

We have a coworker who is from India and he is a student in Taiwan. You can see him in my pictures. Now is his summer vacation and he works here as an student temp to help our analyst to collect information about India. We learned a lot of India culture from him.

We have an girl who can speak Japanese very well so she will be responsible for Japan market. We also have another co-worker who was born and grew up in Korea so Korea market is his responsibility.

How about me? Originally my boss said he needs someone to be in charge of China market and he was considering about me. But he found I have excellent English ability so he assigned south-east Asia market to me. When I heard this, I laughed in my heart.
