Chapter 3692: Chapter 3684: A New Helper
After finishing the business talk, Chen Yuying hung up the phone.
"Let’s wait a bit before leaving, something came up."
"What kind of work?"
"Gao Feng was dismissed, and the new branch manager isn’t very competent, so I’ve been handling things for both sides. My dad saw I’m working too hard and is getting me an assistant, someone who was a neighbor’s kid when I was little. He graduated from a top university and studied abroad, and they want to place him by my side."
"Do you remember this person?"
"Not much, just that he used to always have a runny nose, wore glasses, and looked like a bookworm."
"At least his education is better than both of ours," Lin Yi said with a smile.
"Uncle’s intention is good, to help share your burden."
"That’s true, but I want to find someone myself. Although he’s introduced by my dad, I’m a bit uneasy about it."
"So that’s your personal issue. As long as the result is good, the method doesn’t matter."
"That’s right, let’s meet him first."
"I’ll be waiting for you in the conference room. Let me know when you’re done."
"Come with me and help me assess him."
"I’m just a driver. That’s extra work."
"There’s no extra pay, but you still have to come."
Without giving Lin Yi a chance to argue, Chen Yuying returned to her office, with Lin Yi following behind.
In fact, even Chen Yuying herself hadn’t realized that her resistance to this was because she already considered Lin Yi her most reliable assistant.
Although the work was busy, with Lin Yi’s planning and strategies, she could handle the company’s issues.
Despite always having the intention to hire, it had never happened.
It was for this reason, although she wasn’t aware of it.
The two arrived at the office, and Chen Yuying continued handling her ongoing work.
Lin Yi leisurely laid on the sofa playing games.
Neither of them interfered with the other.
After about twenty minutes, there was a knock on the office door.
"Come in."
Chen Yuying responded, and the office door opened accordingly.
Lin Yi sat up straight to avoid looking too casual.
The person who entered was young, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, wearing a well-fitted suit with a white shirt underneath.
His looks were decent, and his figure was good, leaving a good impression.
But he also had a hint of a student’s naivety, clearly lacking extensive professional experience.
"Sister Chen."
As soon as he entered, Xu Kai tried to be friendly.
Without saying much else, Chen Yuying didn’t dwell on it.
"You must be Xu Kai."
"Yes, that’s me."
"Have a seat."
"Let’s discuss your situation. We’ll have a brief chat since I’ve got more things to attend to and can’t talk much."
Chen Yuying seemed slightly serious, clearly signaling.
She wanted Xu Kai to understand his role, setting aside any past connections to speak professionally.
"Okay."
Xu Kai took a resume out of his bag.
"After graduating from college, I interned at a major firm, handling logistics."
Flipping through Xu Kai’s resume, Chen Yutong found it quite impressive.
Setting aside any other connections, he did meet the company’s entry standards.
"What are your expected salary conditions?"
"Starting at ten thousand, with additional benefits, but I’d like it to reach twenty thousand a year later."
"Whether you can reach twenty thousand depends on your capabilities; it’s not just talk."
"I understand, and I’ll prove it to you."
"Then start as my assistant," said Chen Yuying.
"Starting at ten thousand, with holidays in line with national regulations, and year-end bonuses and other benefits. Any issues?"
"No problem, I’m ready to start anytime."
Chen Yuying’s father had already discussed the salary and benefits part with Guan Xing.
So today was just for formalities, to talk about other things, and if everything seemed fine, he could officially start.
"I have other matters to attend to. For details, you can speak with Manager Zhu. I won’t go through everything with you."
With that, Chen Yuying picked up her bag and gave Lin Yi a look to signal going together to check the project.
But then, Xu Kai also stood up.
"Are you going to check out the new site, President Chen?"
Chen Yuying gave him a once-over.
"How did you know?"
"Uncle Chen mentioned it to me. I don’t have much to do since I just started; let me come along," Xu Kai said with a smile.
"Plus, during my internship at the major firm, I worked on similar projects, so I can offer some advice if needed."
Chen Yuying thought about it. The experience from a major firm was indeed valuable.
Letting him tag along would add a perspective, and it seemed unnecessary to refuse.
"Alright, let’s go together."
"Okay."
The trio then left the office together, with Xu Kai’s gaze naturally falling on Lin Yi.
"President Chen, who is this?"
"He’s my sister’s driver, and helps drive for me when needed."
Upon learning Lin Yi’s identity, Xu Kai nodded meaningfully.
Originally thought to be a company executive, but turned out just a driver, so there was no need to deliberately build a relationship.
As the three of them went downstairs, Lin Yi, as usual, opened the car door and got in.
"What’s your deal? It’s your first day as a driver?"
Xu Kai’s words left both Lin Yi and Chen Yuying taken aback.
They were always like this, nothing seemed amiss.
"What’s wrong?" Lin Yi asked Xu Kai.
"Walking down with President Chen, and you just got in yourself? Don’t you know to open the door for her?"
Lin Yi was a bit speechless. From his first day at work, he never opened the car door for them.
"The company doesn’t have that many rules. Important matters can’t be sloppy, but other things can be casual," Chen Yuying said.
"President Chen, you can’t say that. No rules, no standards; this is pivotal for our company’s step up," Xu Kai elaborated.
"When I worked at the major firm, the rules were very strict. I think it’s very necessary."
Chen Yuying slightly frowned.
A bit intolerant of such talk.
Though there’s some truth, the company is hers, and she’s the one running it, without needing his direction.
"It was my oversight."
Lin Yi cheerfully approached Chen Yuying and opened the car door for her.
Chen Yuying didn’t want to waste more time over this, so she got into the car, with Xu Kai following behind, both sitting in the back seat.
"Hold on a moment, I’ll share the location with you."
"Alright."
Lin Yi, sitting in the driver’s seat, opened the system interface and glanced over the task progress.
215/1500.
He still had to keep working hard.
Soon, Chen Yuying’s information came through.
Lin Yi checked the navigation; it was already out of the outer ring, in the suburbs.
About fifty kilometers one way, which means around 100 kilometers for a round trip.
A few more such trips, and the task completion time could be significantly reduced again.
Lin Yi was eager to get moving, as this time the reward was 300,000 Master level driving skills.
Based on the system’s usual conduct, there should be some good rewards.
