As I reached for the wilted fruit salad, I was startled to hear my name. "Baa-bwa!" the Chinese woman called as she cut into the line and made her way toward me. "Baa-bwa, you know how long I been in business? You know how long?"

"No, I don't," I answered, picking up a bagel and cream cheese from the counter. "How long has it been?"

"T'ree months," she bragged.

"Three months?" I repeated.

"You know how much money I make in t'ree months?"

"No, I don't," I said, surprised that someone would offer so much information so quickly, especially in a crowded cafeteria line.

"Two, hundred, dousand, dollars!" she bragged, loud enough for the buzz in the line to come to a complete stop. "I sell only con-dos," she said. "I sell lots of condos!"

"Selling condos?" I said aloud. "How can you make that much money selling only condos?!" I took a closer look at her, trying to pick up anything about her that lacked credibility. But everything about her looked like the genuine article: her blunt-cut, neatly combed hair, her solid gold choker, her well-tailored sweater set with three buttons open and three buttons closed. Even her black mid-height heels, supporting two sturdy legs, looked as if they meant business. Miss Chiang started speaking in a rapid-fire, Chinese-American dialect, gesturing frantically as she spoke.

"I sell big condos to big customer in Hong Kong!" she rattled, opening up her leather file cabinet and pulling out a manila folder. "He's a big customer, he send me his cousin and his cousin buy small condo. Dis lady have sister-in-law in Taiwan and she buy two condos! She send me sister's cousin in Hong Kong, but she no good. But she send me cousin from Taiwan and she buy more condo!"

I immediately switched gears from snoozing to schmoozing, realizing I had just stepped in front of the Hong Kong to Taiwan to New York Express. "That's really incredible!" I admired. "You're just amazingl" I gave Miss Chiang my very best smile and decided the ten weeks might be worth it after all!
