Ding Zhengnan's face gradually changed from white to red. Although he had endured his shyness and tried different things last night, the current situation made him even more embarrassed.
"Hurry up and buy me some clothes!" Ding Zhengnan pouted, angrily commanding his boyfriend.
Jiang Yizhou also just thought of this matter, but it wasn't too difficult. He put away his appreciative gaze and the thought of morning exercise, then called Shen Qing, the newly appointed assistant. Isn't that what assistants are for?
"Qingqing, your phone is ringing! Come out for dinner!" Mrs. Shen called out to Shen Qing, who was in front of the bathroom mirror, simply touching up her makeup.
Looking at herself in the mirror and checking both sides of her face, seeing nothing wrong, Shen Qing quickly went out to answer the phone. "Hello!"
"Shen Qing, help me buy a complete set of women's clothing and deliver it. Normal summer wear will do!"
Shen Qing immediately thought of many things. Last night at the hotel, women's clothing... could it be...
"May I ask who... oh, what are the height, weight, and measurements of the lady?"
"Hold on a moment," Jiang Yizhou looked at the girl, "I need your size for the clothes!"
Ding Zhengnan lowered his head and reported the measurements.
"Okay, I'll deliver it in an hour and a half. Is it still your hotel room from last night?"
After hearing the specific measurements, she ruled out Song Rushi; Sister Rushi couldn't possibly have such a slender figure. Who could it be?
Forget it, why should she worry? Sister Rushi and Boss have been together for so long; they should know by now!
I just didn't expect that being an assistant would involve tasks like booking hotels and buying clothes afterward. I hope my boss won't be lazy enough to make me buy an umbrella in the future.
With a lot on her mind, Shen Qing hurriedly finished her meal and went to complete the task assigned by her boss.
...
"You’re curious, right? The person is in the bedroom, and you can’t see!" Jiang Yizhou teased Shen Qing, who was peeking at the door, before closing it.
With the refreshed Ding Zhengnan, Jiang Yizhou drove his girlfriend's car back to her parents' house. Of course, they didn’t go inside but sat in the car outside.
What puzzled Ding Zhengnan was that her mother wasn’t in the living room or kitchen. She didn’t dare to check the bedroom either. In the end, she managed to grab what she needed without having to explain anything about staying out all night.
"Why so fast? Didn’t your mom pull you down to ask or scold me?" Jiang Yizhou speculated about what normally would happen.
"There’s no noise at home. I don’t know if she’s still asleep or if she left."
"Maybe she went grocery shopping! Don’t think too much about it!" Jiang Yizhou advised. "I’ll drive over to Zheng Yi’s place first; you can drive yourself to work, right?"
However, glancing at the clock, it seemed to be already ten o'clock. Of course, the boss's working hours were flexible, so it didn’t matter much.
"You don’t have to take me to work first!" Ding Zhengnan said with a bright smile. "I have a boyfriend at the company, but everyone thinks I’m lying because you’ve been abroad... It’s really annoying!"
"Okay, okay, I understand!" Jiang Yizhou repeatedly reassured her. "It’s my fault; let’s see who dares to mess with my territory!"
Ding Zhengnan felt very satisfied with her boyfriend's playful demeanor.
Jiang Yizhou made a phone call to his assistant, asking her to go to Ding Zhengnan's workplace to pick him up, and then he started the car.
……
Looking at his girlfriend waving goodbye with reluctance, Jiang Yizhou could only show an exaggerated smile from a distance for her to see before she went inside.
"Ding Zhengnan, who was that person who just dropped you off?" Pan Su asked with curiosity, noticing Ding Zhengnan's sweet demeanor. The long kiss that had gone unnoticed by others earlier had been witnessed by many.
"That's my boyfriend!" Ding Zhengnan replied with a smile.
"I saw him get into a woman's car..."
"That was his assistant coming to pick him up. Where are you thinking?" Ding Zhengnan explained. She had a good relationship with this strict yet friendly colleague, so she brought her along when she got promoted.
Soon, the news of the older sister being sent to the company by her boyfriend spread around, as she was the only daughter of the Boss and the heir to a billion-dollar fortune. Naturally, many people were eager to climb the social ladder.
Now, countless dreams were shattered; it was no longer possible to openly pursue her at the company entrance... It seemed that her relationship had already been acknowledged by her family, leaving little hope for anyone else.
……
"Jiang Yizhou, I want to clarify that the position I applied for is your Chairman's Assistant, not a personal assistant. For personal matters, I suggest you find a dedicated personal assistant!" Shen Qing said from the passenger seat, filled with complaints.
Having been called upon multiple times for personal errands was unacceptable for someone aspiring to join Zheng Yi, specifically under Jiang Yizhou's company. It felt like she was being treated as a personal assistant!
Especially since she wasn't well-versed in such matters; knowing what kind of hotel the Boss preferred or buying clothes that matched his companion's taste was far more complicated than handling company affairs.
"Isn't an assistant supposed to help me get out of personal matters? Can't even handle this little thing? The onboarding process should still be incomplete; if you can't do it, just leave!"
Jiang Yizhou was slightly dissatisfied with this older woman who had little work experience. "By the way, didn't you say you didn't have a driver's license? How did you manage to drive the car here?"
"Isn't it because you were in such a hurry, Boss?" The implication was that she was taking a chance; nowadays, checks weren't strict, and as long as there were no accidents, it shouldn't be a problem.
After being scolded like this, Shen Qing also came to terms with reality, but the emotional gap seemed hard to bridge at the moment.
Upon arriving at the company, Jiang Yizhou had just begun writing an open letter to employees far away in the United States, along with directives for every management level.
From the internal emails sent by many company employees, he noticed that several executives at elink across the ocean were somewhat anxious due to rumors about changes in equity and potential acquisition. They never expected to become a target for America Online's acquisition.
However, as long as he didn't do anything harmful to the company's interests, based on his partial delegation of voting rights, America Online wouldn't be able to touch him before the next round of financing.
Additionally, he had been urging Larry Page and Sergey. Even though he painted a grand picture for them, it was still hard to escape the feeling of luck, especially with the second $100,000 payment coming in mid-term.
After spending some time with both of them, he could already imagine what kind of crazy things they would do once they received the second payment without a serious Chinese person around to supervise them. It wouldn't be impossible for them to throw a party and celebrate wildly.
