After the interview, Qiao Panpan and Lu Lin received company notification, both were accepted.
The only difference was that Lu Lin went to the internship department, while Qiao Panpan became a temporary assistant to Wei Mingyuan.
Panpan’s salary was twice that of Lu Lin.
“Ah!” Lu Lin had no other emotions besides being very happy for Panpan. She held her cellphone and almost jumped up happily. “Panpan, you are great! When I answered the question, I knew that you’d be admitted right away, but it turned out as CEO Wei’s assistant! That’s amazing!”
Qiao Panpan also didn’t know this would exceed her expectations. Seeing the amount behind the news, she could not hide her excitement.
Initially, the Nanya Group’s salary was much higher than her previous part-time job. She did not expect to get an assistant position.
This amount, two months of part-time work is enough to support the cost of her mother’s medicine for half a year!
Another roommate happened to be there, and when he heard Lu Lin’s voice, she congratulated the two of them, “Panpan, Lu Lin, congratulations!”
When she said this, she could not hide her admiration. “If I knew earlier, I would have registered with you. Nanya is famous for raising new people without thinking about costs. Now you can join the company part-time. When you finish your studies, they will prioritize your acceptance!”
Thinking of having money made her a little calmer, Qiao Panpan’s face flushed with enthusiasm, and her eyes looked bright and prettier.
Zhu Yun, who sat quietly putting on makeup at the table, snorted coldly, and said, “A freshmen trying to get a part-time job. Easily got the CEO’s assistant position. She said she didn’t do anything shameless. Who would believe that?”
She implied that Qiao Panpan got the job because of her beauty.
The just then happy Lu Lin immediately exploded, “Zhu Yun, watch your mouth! How dare you speak nonsense? Be careful, or I will expose all your dirty business!”
Panpan’s face also looked annoyed. Even if her temper is good, to be insulted by someone who points directly at her nose, her good mood disappeared.
(points directly at her nose = an insinuating remark.)
“Who said it’s you? Your owner hasn’t said anything yet, but you’re so quick to bark.”
Seeing Zhu Yun getting brash, the beautiful girl’s face became cold and pulled on Lu Lin who wanted to rush up to argue. She approached Zhu Yun who was dusting her face and whispered, “Nobody knows if I have done something shameless, but I know exactly what you; Zhu Yun, had done.”
Seeing her gaze, Qiao Panpan said calmly. “Last Monday, I saw you.”
On Monday, she had no class. She worked part-time all the time. On the way back to school that afternoon, she saw Zhu Yun being taken to a hotel by a middle-aged man. In fact, Qiao Panpan did not intend to say that. After all, someone like Zhu Yun had to do those things.
(TLnote: had = as in the circumstances forced her to, not forced by people.)
Clay men also have three emotions. Panpan did not have a family to support her, but that did not mean she would just sit there while being insulted by people.
(A clay man also has three emotions / 泥人 也 有 三分 脾气 = this saying means that even the calmest person in the world has a bottom line. If you can anger a clay man, your jerky-ness is next level sht.)
Unexpectedly, Qiao Panpan, who never gave a response, actually opened her mouth. What she said was something that should never be exposed. Zhu Yun’s face changed in an instance.
She threw her cosmetic box on the floor, glared at Qiao Panpan gloomily, and went out with a foul face.
Isn’t a woman’s selling point her body? I’m just using what I have! How rare of her to talk back!
Lu Lin was very relieved when she saw that Zhu Yun was depressed. “Panpan, what happened last Monday? It’s the first time I’ve ever seen that woman look guilty!”
Qiao Panpan pursed her lips and smiled. “Nothing much. Let’s look up the information quickly. It’s better to get ready to work in such a big company for the first time.”
“Right, right! Although they said that there will be someone to teach, it’s better for us to prepare ourselves.” Lu Lin was quickly distracted and went to the computer to check.
The next morning, the two prepared girls went to Nanya Group nervously and expectant. Lu Lin was assigned to the internship department. Qiao Panpan was led by a middle-aged woman to the top floor.
Out of the elevator, the woman introduced, “My surname is Zhang. You can call me Zhang-jie. This where Chief Wei works. The biggest office over there is his. The next one is yours. Your work is different from ours.”
She is beautiful and soft-spoken. “Chief Wei has a good personality, but he always forgets the time when he works. Besides working with us, you should remind him to eat, have a lunch break, get off work, and sometimes he will go to the construction site to supervise, and you should follow him.”
Panpan was a little surprised to hear about the job for the first time. But when she comes to work in any new place, she spoke and act cautiously.
Zhang-Jie continued, “You’ve actually had a stroke of good luck. Assistant Liu was injured. Chief Wei let her take two months of paid vacation to recuperate. You’re in management and only working part-time for two months, you’re ordered to be an assistant. It’s a good job.”
“I asked Assistant Liu for a time table. You should study them. Just remind him when the time comes. Don’t trouble your self too much, just set an alarm clock.”
Having said that, she took Qiao Panpan to get familiar with the whole office, they went back to the office and passed the time table to her.
After that, it was her job. Qiao Panpan quickly and conscientiously bowed her head and set the alarm one by one. When she saw a reminder to take medicine and thought of the handsome man with a gentle smile, she stopped again and asked hesitatingly “Zhang-jie, is Chief Wei sick?”
“Stomach problems.” Zhang-Jie looked for something on her desk. When she heard her question, she casually replied, “Chief Wei forgets to eat and sleep as soon as he works. Later, he was hospitalized because of it. His health depended on Assistant Liu. In fact, this is a personal assistant position. But Chief Wei heard that you are still in school, he wanted you to learn something here. Don’t say that I didn’t remind you of the opportunity to study at Nanya is rare.”
“Thank you, Zhang-jie, I know.”
Seeing Qiao Panpan’s clever response, Zhang-Jie nodded and added, “Chief Wei is always kind to girls your age. If you make any mistakes, don’t be afraid. Tell him directly and he won’t blame you.”
Hearing this sentence, Qiao Panpan remembered the rumors she heard yesterday and hesitated, but he still didn’t ask.
“Ah, I found it!”
Zhang-Jie handed Qiao Panpan her notebook and said with a smile, “This is Assistant Liu’s work manual. She always writes down any Chief Wei’s taboos. When I called her, she asked me to give you this for reference.”
She didn’t expect Assistant Liu, who was on vacation, to be so considerate. Qiao Panpan; who had tasted the constant wavering of human feelings for countless of times, was touched, “Thank you.”
The senior gave a little more confidence to the girl who works in such a big company for the first time. She sat in Assistant Liu’s original seat in the office and eager to learn what she could not learn from books.
Qiao is eager to learn. She comes from a poor family and has no support. She knows that; only when she’s strong can she live a better life. So she takes a very serious attitude both in study and in life.
When the first alarm went off, Panpan; who was obsessed to study, looked at the contents of the alarm clock and realized that the morning had passed before she knew it.
She stood up and moved her shoulders, with some uneasiness. Before she went to the big office Zhang-jie had told her before, looked at the CEO’s office above, took a few nervous breaths, and gently knocked on the door.
From inside came the gentle voice of the man, “Come in.”
Although she had done a lot of homework before, the girl still had some tension on her face. She opened the door and gave a slightly awkward reminder, “It’s time for lunch, Chief Wei.”
“Hmm?” It seems that at most, the gentle man was in his early thirties. He looks up at the clock hanging on the wall with some doubts and suddenly says, “It’s 12 o’clock.”
He took off his gold-rimmed glasses, revealed a pair of gentle eyes, and rubbed his eyebrows with slender hands slightly tired. “Your name is Qiao Panpan, right?”
“Yes, Chief Wei.” Qiao Panpan nodded in response.
Wei Mingyan smiled gently and praised, “Your name is very nice.”
Because Qiao Panpan is too good looking, when a man suddenly praises her name, she will certainly be on guard. But at the boss in front of her, Qiao Panpan can’t be on guard.
The man’s eyes are very gentle, even with a touch of care from elders, just like … a father looking at his daughter.
Qiao Panpan didn’t know why her nose felt sour, so she bowed his head and said, “Thank you, Chief Wei.”
Her name was given by her mother. She heard that when that man was at home, she didn’t get a proper name at one year old. Later, the man never came back. Her mother missed him so much and looked forward to the return of that scum man, so she was named Qiao Panpan.
(Panpan / 盼盼 ; Pan / 盼 = hope / waiting / longing)
What’s the use of this name? If you don’t want them, you just don’t want them. Even if mother cries out that man’s name when she’s in bed, he won’t come back…
Previously, Panpan concealed these emotions had been very well, but somehow– today, facing the man in front of her, the grievance that came from mercilessly abandoned by her father surged up again.
Fortunately, she still remembered that she was in the company now, and she was facing an unfamiliar superior, which stopped her sour heart in time.
“The first time you came to the company, do you know how to get to the canteen yet?” Wei Mingyan took a panoramic view of the girl’s mood. He did not express it. He stood up and walked to Qiao Panpan’s side. He kindly invited her, “Let’s go, let’s go together.”
“Okay …” Qiao Panpan nodded somewhat flattered, “Thank you, Chief Wei.”
This job really surprised her. Whether it was the working environment, content, salary, or the surrounding colleagues and superiors, they were all friendly to an incredible extent. This made Panpan, who had been suffering from hardship since childhood, look forward to the next two months.
The two walked to the corridor. Wei Mingyan suddenly thought of something and paused. “Sorry, wait for me a little while. I left something.”
Qiao Panpan stood curious and looked at the handsome and gentle man, returning to the office eagerly. When he came out again, he had a bracelet string on his hand and was wearing them on his left wrist as he walked.
It’s a wood bead bracelet. The color of the outside has paled by more than half, revealing the primary colors of the inside. It looks very cheap. It doesn’t look like something Wei Mingyan would wear.
Seeing the girl looking at the bracelet, Wei Mingyan bowed his head and stroked the faded beads with some sentimentality. His movements were very gentle.
“My wife gave it to me. She said she wanted me to keep it safe with me all the time. When I went to wash my hands before, I was afraid that it would get wet and take it off. I almost forgot to wear it.”
“You and your wife have a very good relationship.” Qiao Panpan said sincerely.
This mighty CEO can wear this cheap wooden bracelet for his wife’s sake. No one can say that it’s not true love.
“Right…” The handsome man smiled and whispered, “She is gentle, virtuous and beautiful. She also gave birth to a lovely daughter for me. It’s my greatest luck to meet her.”
Before Qiao Panpan could say a few more words, the man’s slender fingers glided lightly over the faded wooden beads, and his eyes were even sadder. “This is the last thing she left for me.”
Qiao Panpan eyes widened slightly, Wei Ming saw her expression and smiled bitterly. “My wife and daughter died many years ago. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have told you that.”
“It’s okay…” Qiao Panpan reacted quickly after being shocked. She carefully looked at the handsome man’s expression and try to comfort him. “I’m sorry for your loss…”
Yesterday, she heard that Chief Wei’s daughter had died early, but she had no idea that she had gone with his wife. When she thought of the sadness in Wei Mingyan’s eyes just now, Qiao Panpan’s heart could not help but give birth to sympathy. It’s so pitiful…
If that girl is still alive; having a loving father and a loving family, she would be very happy. Right?
After the interview, Qiao Panpan and Lu Lin received company notification, both were accepted.
The only difference was that Lu Lin went to the internship department, while Qiao Panpan became a temporary assistant to Wei Mingyuan.
Panpan’s salary was twice that of Lu Lin.

Thinking of having money made her a little calmer, Qiao Panpan’s face flushed with enthusiasm, and her eyes looked bright and prettier.
Zhu Yun, who sat quietly putting on makeup at the table, snorted coldly, and said, “A freshmen trying to get a part-time job. Easily got the CEO’s assistant position. She said she didn’t do anything shameless. Who would believe that?”
