Chen Feng completely agreed with this. These past few days, he's been arranging jobs for a university teacher's sister, another job for his sister-in-law's niece, and accompanying his cousin to wander around aimlessly. He had to handle all these personally, which was quite annoying.
If he had a personal assistant to help him deal with these trivial matters and personal affairs, he could happily continue staying at ho.
Before, Wu ngting was his personal assistant, but now she is the financial director of Fengmang Film and Television, and she has a lot to manage there, which makes it impossible for her to leave.
And clearly, Sun Xiaorui isn't a suitable candidate to take over either.
"Are you unhappy working at the company now?" Chen Feng asked in return.
Sun Xiaorui quickly shook her head, "No, I'm quite happy."
After saying this, fearing Chen Feng wouldn't believe her, she added with a smile, "At least now I'm one of the three executives in the company. The employees respect , my work is easy, and I have a high salary. Why wouldn't I be happy?"
"That's good to hear," Chen Feng nodded, "What you ntioned makes sense. I do need to find another personal assistant, and you're not suitable for it."
Hearing this, Sun Xiaorui didn't insist, she just asked, "So, are you going to hire soone new?"
Chen Feng thought for a mont and then asked, "What do you think of Jin Xinyan?"
Jin Xinyan has finished her so-called short-term training as a film producer and has been quite idle these days, frequently sending him unsolicited ssages out of boredom. To Chen Feng, it was clear that she needed sothing to do.
"I can't say. I think she has a bit of a spoiled temperant, and her personality is a little too impulsive… also, ngting might not agree. I think it's best to ask ngting's opinion first."
Although Chen Feng felt this was a personal matter and he could decide for himself, considering that Wu ngting was his previous personal assistant and still held that title to so extent.
So, he decided to discuss it with her first.
After parting ways with Sun Xiaorui downstairs, he went ho and called Wu ngting to talk about having Jin Xinyan take over as his personal assistant.
As expected, like Sun Xiaorui predicted, Wu ngting opposed the idea. Her reasons were similar: Jin Xinyan was too young and lacked work experience and social exposure.
She also suggested that if Chen Feng really wanted a professional personal assistant, he should find one through a headhunting company.
Moreover, she admitted that she herself had not been very competent as a personal assistant before.
Wu ngting's suggestion was quite fair; neither she nor Jin Xinyan could be considered professional personal assistant candidates. In so respects, they were not suitable or qualified.
But both were people Chen Feng trusted more, and for a personal assistant, skills were secondary. Trustworthiness and reliability were more important, especially since they'd handle his private and even confidential family matters. Chen Feng wouldn't be comfortable entrusting these things to unreliable individuals.
Therefore, in the end, Chen Feng didn't heed Wu ngting's suggestion. He simply told her they could let Jin Xinyan try it out first. If suitable, she could stay; if not, they could find soone else.
Though Wu ngting was unwilling in her heart to hear this, she didn't insist further.
Then Chen Feng called Jin Xinyan to discuss the matter. Jin Xinyan was overjoyed upon hearing it and accepted the job without hesitation.
Being Chen Feng's personal assistant was secondary; the main point was that she could openly stay in touch with Chen Feng and get closer to him.
Besides, she had indeed been idle these past few days, almost to the point of going mad with boredom.
Right after Chen Feng inford her, she was eager to report to him imdiately.
However, Chen Feng didn't let her have her way, stating that as a personal assistant, she didn't need to be by his side all the ti. He would contact her when he needed her assistance.
Jin Xinyan then asked what work he had for her now.
After thinking for a mont, Chen Feng assigned her to Fengmang Film and Television to help inspect, especially in logistics. For example, she should check the employees' housing subsidies and the company's accommodation arrangents and compile a detailed observation report, identifying any areas that needed improvent or were unsatisfactory.
Upon hearing this, Jin Xinyan was imdiately overwheld, as she had average writing skills and no relevant work experience.
But as the new personal assistant, she couldn't refuse her boss's request and had to comply.
Over the next two days, having found sothing to do, Jin Xinyan finally cald down and stopped sending him unsolicited ssages.
That afternoon, Liu ijun, who hadn't been in touch for a few days, asked Chen Feng to visit Dianchuang to discuss a big contract.
This contract was indeed substantial, worth 200 million, and it was a governnt project of a city in East Sea Province. However, so initial funds needed to be advanced by Dianchuang, which was sowhat risky, so she wanted to discuss it with him. As the boss, she couldn't make the decision alone.
As a co-shareholder, Chen Feng was curious about such a big project, so he naturally went.
After thoroughly understanding the project at Dianchuang, Chen Feng voted in favor and was quite satisfied with both of the proposals from the planning departnt.
Seeing Chen Feng's agreent, Liu ijun was relieved. If this big project was done well and the final paynt was collected, the profit would be considerable.
After discussing business affairs, it was around 4 PM, and Liu ijun invited Chen Feng for tea.
Chen Feng didn't refuse and followed her to a relatively upscale tea house nearby, where they chatted about various topics, touching on both business and personal matters.
It was evident that Liu ijun was quite curious about his family situation, Fengmang Film and Television, and even his current love life.
Chen Feng found the conversation enjoyable, and given their familiarity, he didn't feel the need to hide much. He shared his current lifestyle and ntioned the few won around him when asked.
On hearing this, although Liu ijun had anticipated it, she still shook her head in disapproval, "You've divorced and lost hope in love, but that's no reason to indulge. It's not an excuse for degeneration. I've been divorced for years, and I've lost hope in love and n too, but I've never let myself go like this. I've been doing fine on my own."
Chen Feng also shook his head, "You're a woman, I'm a man, and that's the fundantal difference. A woman shouldn't indulge herself, but as a single man, there's little harm in being a bit indulgent.
I respect your restraint, but I don't entirely agree with it. What era are we in now? You've been divorced for years, your child isn't around, you're successful, and yet you're still alone. It's too constrained. You could totally find a young man you fancy. It doesn't matter even if he's after your money, as long as you're happy. Don't worry too much."
