Seven Quarters Chinese

She was a new recruit to the company. The company's campus sprawled across hundred acres in one of the hi tech cities of her country. She had estimated and looked up the information when she got recruited through campus interviews. It was the first time she had stayed away from home and generally started going to restaurant. It was her first outing with her team mates. Some one in her team had made remarkable achievements and was being rewarded. So, he had decided to treat all his team mates. At Seven Quarters Chinese.

Over the 100 acres of campus, there were about about a minimum of fifteen food courts. Being a shy person, she could not manage to ask one of her team mates which one of the fifteen food courts was Seven Quarters Chinese. She decided to find out. She took one of the bicycles in the campus and visited the first food court that she frequented mostly. She asked  those people which of the food courts was Seven Quarters Chinese. They did not know. She tried to hint them and ask which food court served Chinese food. One of the guys remembered that one of the food courts served Chinese food, but did not know which one. Not bad, she thought to herself. So she went to the second food court to be met with a similar story. Our girl was quite determined to find out herself. Thus, she went to the third, fourth, fifth and sixth food court trying to find the food court that served Chinese food. It was at the seventh food court she found that the seventh food court served Chinese only after three in the afternoon. It was only two. So she decided to wait. 

There was no deadline waiting in the next few days, so she could afford to while her time. Moreover, nobody in the team was working today. Then came the call on her cell phone. She received the call and someone excitedly spoke, "Hey, where are you? We have been searching for you all over the place, there are fours cars ready to go to Seven Quarters Chinese. Pick your purse also, someone will drop you home. " It was then she realized, Seven Quarters Chinese was somewhere in the city.
