how to frame this as a China question. I get a call this afternoon from a young lady (Chinese), she obviously knows me and starts the da da da conversation... 'where am I going on summer holiday, when will I be back.' So, I know we know each other and probably work together and she has my #, but I don't know for sure who she is and darn sure don't know her name. Ok, I'm screwed,,, sooooo,,, my question here is,,,, what do u do?
Tip: I wanna know her and wanna chat with her,,,, so?

Just pretend you know her and then look up her number on wechat
diverdude1:
I see,,, take her ph # and search it on wechat? That sounds like it should work, gonna do it right now. guess that's what Stiggs meant too.
Stiggs:
That's not quite what I meant, I don't know if you even can search a phone number on wechat.
I do know that if you have a phone number saved in your phone as a contact, wechat will tell you if that number is linked to a wechat account and suggest you send them a friend invite.
Hell, why not just ask her to friend you on wechat so you can figure out who she is and chat for free.
diverdude1:
I see. And yeah, guess that's what I'll do, ask her to friend on WeChat...

Ya usually you can search a phone number in wechat because people usually register wechat with the phone number or have it linked. But it doesn't seem like it worked for him.
Everything she says, you reply 'YES, ma'am' ...

She most likely works at the same School, (which sponsors your ABC card and RP). They feel responsible for you and they want to know what are you going to do during recess.
I also 'smelled-putty', he he, but most likely she's just looking for info about your whereabouts during holidays.
I had similar Qs before holidays at almost every School I worked in China. Last year, I had re-Q on my mind:
'Do you want to come with me ... to Nha Trang night beach ...' , but girl was happily married ...

The contract says they are responsible for your safety and security and they have to know where your are during contract periods your not working in case the PSB calls or stops by to ask, this happens to me every year. Also they may be wanting to do a Summer English Camp and seeing if your available for them to siphon some more money from parents.
Do you have wechat on your phone?
Often when you put a new number in your contacts list wechat will recommend that person as someone you should friend.
If you see their pictures it might jog your memory.
Simply solved. Call back and when she answers, ask who it is. Then say "oh great, i thought I'd lost your number, let's shag (or whatever...coffee, food).

haha,,, sounds workable,,, will try if this wechat contact list thing doesn't pan out.

Wow, didn't show up on a wechat search. How odd is that? I even added +86, then I took the spaces out,,,, nothing. seems odd, cuz everyone is in wechat,,, especially young girl.
So what happened? .
Did you find out who she was?
Does she only like you for your Corvette ?
diverdude1:
Did exactly what was suggested, messaged her on that # and suggested we WeChat, she agreed and we added each other. Funny thing is it was who I thought it was. I never really said on here, but I thought I knew who it was (I don't chat with that many women here at this school) I just wanted to be certain before using her name and looking like a dork if I were wrong. Anyway, it was her.
'Vette probably helped for sure,,, haha
