Chapter 24: Assistant in Position

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Kempinski Hotel, located on the seaside avenue, was not far from the landmark building, the China Resources Building, nicknamed Spring Bamboo Shoot.

On a summer morning, the trees on the seaside avenue were quiet, and the cicadas chirped. A familiar bus passed by.

Chang Ya, a partner of Jincheng Enterprise Management Consulting Co. Ltd. (the headhunter), got off the car with her assistant, Xiao Li. She looked up at the towering skyscraper.

“Sister Chang, when can our company move our office here?” Xiao Li exclaimed. “If word gets out, it’ll be even more prestigious!”

Chang Ya was a 30-year-old female career elite. She walked into the building in silver high heels. “What are you thinking about? Can dignity be eaten? It would be strange if the bosses agreed! Unless our headhunters are the best in the country.”

Xiao Li was a twenty-three or twenty-four-year-old girl. She quickly followed and sighed, “We are still different from this rich young master!”

She was talking about Cao Su.

Today was the day Cao Su’s new establishment, “The World,” would be interviewing assistants. Specifically, he sought a female administrative assistant under 30 with a first-class honors university degree. An annual salary of two million yuan would be offered.

How was this hiring an assistant? Which administrative assistant would cost so much to hire? Even listed companies didn’t offer such wages.

He was hiring a beautiful secretary and a lover!

Yesterday morning, Sister Chang sent eight sets of information about the interviewees to President Cao. First, he had to rank them according to their abilities. However, the president deleted all three resumes, all of which were beautiful women. This further confirmed her thoughts.

Chang Ya and Xiao Li were stopped by the security guards as soon as they entered the building. They needed to swipe their cards to enter the elevator in the lobby. Thus, she could only call President Cao and communicate with the building’s property management before she could get a temporary access card to enter and exit.

The interview location was on the 32nd floor of the office building of The World. Chang Ya and Xiao Li took the manually keyed elevator to the 32nd floor.

After exiting the elevator, they turned left and arrived at a lobby. The front desk was empty. However, from the elegant floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see the blue sea of Deep City Bay, a view both breathtaking and invigorating.

Xiao Li’s voice became softer. “Sister Chang, you’re so classy!”

Chang Ya nodded. “This is the top three commercial office buildings in Nanshan Hill.” She brought Xiao Li straight into the office area.

The spacious office was quiet. The two continued walking forward and arrived outside the CEO’s office. After passing through the secretary’s office outside, she saw an extremely luxurious and spacious office.

The office was divided into an office area and a rest area. Three sides were surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass. The sunlight at 9:30 in the morning shone on the outer wall of the Chunsun Building, giving it a glazed luster. The view from the office was breathtaking.

Deep City Bay was filled with high-rise buildings, parks, corridors, and winding roads along the coast. Further away was the bay, and amid the blue sky and sea, Hong Kong could be vaguely seen on the other side.

At this moment, in the depths of the office, a tall and well-proportioned man in a business casual shirt and trousers was holding a cup of coffee and enjoying the beautiful scenery in front of the French window. Soft music slowly drifted into the air.

His profile was delicate and handsome, enough to attract the attention of women. His figure was elongated and faint under the sunlight, as if he was covered in golden light!

Life, time, sunshine, wealth. All kinds of words appeared in Xiao Li’s mind, bedazzling her. Then, she felt a little afraid to breathe.

Money, sometimes, was just a number that could not shock people. However, if he could materialize money, the impact would be huge!

At this moment, how could Xiao Li dare to ‘belittle’ this rich young master?

Chang Ya also felt that working here would be a rare enjoyment. She thought about the suggestion that her assistant, Xiao Li, had just made. Sister Chang, when can our company move our office here? Then, she smiled bitterly and quickly walked forward. “President Cao, we’re here.”

Cao Su turned around to greet them and said, “Ms. Chang, our company is short of manpower. I’ll have to trouble the two of you for an interview this morning.”

He had been thinking about how to complete the system’s random mission, [Thoughts on Reading], and was suddenly lost in thought.

Last night, he read a classic book that started with the word “Gold” for two hours and successfully completed the mission [Liver King]. He received 20 Energy Serums as a reward. Its effect was as the name suggested.

However, the [Thoughts on Reading] mission required him to share his thoughts after reading and gain the recognition of others. Who was he going to talk to?

University roommates Guo Zefang, Jiang Wenxuan, Shen Mingze, Brother Hu?

Wouldn’t it be more interesting to talk about the book with a beautiful woman?

“President Cao, it’s no trouble at all,” Chang Ya quickly said. “It’s all part of our service.”

Cao Su smiled and made a gesture. “Let’s begin then.” He walked back to his desk with his coffee.

Chang Ya and the three interviewees were scheduled to be interviewed half an hour apart.

The first person who came in was petite. She was wearing a burgundy shirt and navy blue jeans. She had a neat ponytail and a beautiful face. There was distrust and impulse in her eyes, like a lion ready for battle.

Cao Su chatted with her for a while before passing on her. This was a boxer.

The second girl who came in was tall, 1.7 meters to be exact. She wore exquisite glasses, and her small face was delicate and fair. She wore an elegant khaki T-shirt and black tights that wrapped her slender and straight legs.

She was a beautiful 24-year-old girl.

After chatting with her for a while, Cao Su was quite satisfied with her ability. After all, she had two years of experience as a secretary in an online company. He even scanned her data. He placed the gel pen in his hand on the document and smiled. “Yu Qin, do you have anything else to ask?”

Yu Qin pushed the glasses up her nose bridge and asked boldly, “President Cao, I would like to ask what your administrative assistant will be expected to do.”

Cao Su smiled. She was a girl with a lot of ideas. She knew her value and spoke frankly. “The first is to help me manage some businesses in the future and represent me in the board meetings of some companies. The other is a royal concubine who’ll live with a prince.”

Yu Qin covered her mouth and chuckled. She looked at Cao Su charmingly and said, “President Cao, I have no more questions.”

“Then I have another question.” Cao Su smiled. “Would you be willing if your annual salary was reduced to 300,000 yuan?” He didn’t want his administrative assistant to be too scheming. This girl’s overall quality was not bad. She could be hired as an ordinary employee. She was pleasing to the eye.

Yu Qin pondered for a few seconds. “President Cao, I’ll consider it.”

Cao Su knew what to do and nodded. “Alright.”

Shaking hands and watching the ambitious girl leave the office, Cao Su gently shook his head in his heart. Speaking of which, the fierce beauty of the art design team, Lu Zi, was really innocent! He could not help but feel pity for her.

The third interviewee was a 26-year-old, extremely beautiful young woman with a bun. She was 1.67 meters tall and had a slim figure. She was wearing an aqua blue short-sleeved slim shirt and white straight pants. Her body proportions were excellent.

Her face was exquisite and had that classic beauty, devoid of a single flaw. The elegant and intellectual aura on her body could not be concealed. She was even more beautiful in person than in the photo.

Cao Su had a very good first impression of her. He used the health detector to scan the area.

[Song Jingying, age 26, looks 97, figure 94, specialty 92]

F*ck! As expected, the points were very high. The breakdown of the special score showed that after graduate school, she married her boyfriend, who she had been in love with for many years. However, they divorced within a year.

Following the interview process, Cao Su began to communicate with her. After talking for more than ten minutes, he said in satisfaction, “Song Jingying, do you have any questions?”

Song Jingying was sitting in a soft chair outside her desk. She said elegantly,” No, I do not.”

Cao Su looked at her in surprise and smiled as he stretched out his hand. “Then I wish us a happy cooperation!”
