Chapter 454 I Am Not That Strong Yet

Never did Qin Sheng plan to keep the information of his family members from Lin Su. However, he was afraid that if he told Lin Su everything at once, Lin Su would feel somewhat frightened. That was the reason why he had informed her in advance, telling her some information about his family members vaguely and roughly. He knew Lin Su, who was so smart, would find out who his family members were sooner or later. In that case, he would rather let Lin Su discover the mystery on her own gradually than take the initiative to enlighten her.

Qin Sheng did not plan to keep his family background from Lin Su, nor did Qin Ran, who thought highly of Lin Su. Consequently, she did not need to be so defensive about her family background information. After all, based on the relationship between Qin Sheng and Lin Su, these issues did not need to be taken into account. They also didn’t need to test Lin Su with other things, which would otherwise overdo it.

It turned out that it was Wu Han who went downstairs to pick Lin Su up. Wu Han was Qin Ran’s temporary secretary and assistant in Shanghai right now, which was somewhat unworthy of her talents. After all, she had been an elite in charge of the projects in a top-level investment bank abroad previously. However, Wu Han did not have any problem with her current position at all, which was nothing but a temporary job. She would only go to take the position in the headquarters in Beijing after she was done with the issues in Shanghai.

It was true that the workload in recent days was not heavy, which was to organize all the projects that the company had invested in abroad, including all the relative parties and financial transaction records involved, the evaluation of the current value of the projects, the withdrawal plans, and so on. Although Wu Han had worked in a top-level investment bank, she felt somewhat stressed by the current workload. Fortunately, Qin Ran had told her yesterday that she had hired another assistant to help her with the workload so that Wu Han could alleviate her pressure. Moreover, the efficiency of her team could be thus improved.

After Wu Han met Lin Su, she found out surprisedly that the assistant Qin Ran had hired turned out to be such a beautiful lady, who she was somewhat inferior to. However, what the financial industry needed was not a beautiful appearance but an authentic capability, which Wu Han was confident about.

After they went out of the elevator, Wu Han stared at Lin Su’s distracted look and asked confusedly, “What’s wrong?”

After Lin Su came to her senses, she shook her head smilingly and said, “Nothing. Since I have not been working in some time, I feel somewhat emotional to come back to the kind of familiar working environment like this.”

Back when Lin Su had asked Song Chu and Tan Jing to accompany her to go window shopping in the Shanghai International Finance Center yesterday, she had bought two sets of business suits for work conveniently. That was because she knew that the dress code was strictly implemented in the financial industry, which, after all, was a top-level industry of the pyramid.

Wu Han warned Lin Su out of kindness as she said, “Lin Su, you need to be mentally prepared in advance in case you are unable to withstand it. We have been fighting a tough battle recently. Every member of our team works overtime almost every day.” She was afraid that this beauty could not put up with the workload. However, she did not doubt Lin Su’s capability at all. Otherwise, Sister Qin Ran would not have asked her to join her team.

Lin Su smiled gently as she said, “I got used to the kind of life like this before.”

There were unknown bitterness and hardships behind every glorious and dazzling industry. Although the financial industry was seemingly high-class and enviable, ordinary people could not conceive how many efforts and sacrifices that the people who engaged in the financial industry had made. However, of course, those sacrifices were paid back greatly, motivating them most directly.

After Wu Han led Lin Su into Qin Ran’s office, she knocked on the open door gently several times. It was not until Qin Ran raised her head that she walked in slowly and said, “President Qin, Lin Su is here.”

Qin Ran stood up smilingly and said, “Susu, I told you that you should rest for a few more days. However, you insist on coming to work today. In that case, don’t complain about me in the future.”

Of course, Lin Su understood what Qin Ran’s words meant. On the contrary, Wu Han was confused.

Instead of addressing Qin Ran as her sister in the company, Lin Su said, “President Qin, it’s better if I register in the company and come to work as soon as possible.”

Qin Ran nodded quietly and stared at Wu Han as she said, “Then I won’t be polite to you. Let me do the introductions. This beauty is my temporary assistant, an elite who came back from a top-level investment bank abroad. Originally, she was assigned as a general manager of a department in the headquarters in Beijing. However, I asked her to stay by my side in Shanghai temporarily. During this period, both of you will act as my temporary assistants, helping me organize these projects well within the shortest period.”

Lin Su asked thoughtfully, “President Qin, then what should I be in charge of?”

Qin Ran smiled and said, “Your position is the same as Wu Han’s. Both of you are my assistants. As for your detailed job responsibilities, Wu Han will tell you. If you are confused about some things, feel free to ask me. All right. Let’s not delay here. Wu Han, I will leave Lin Su to you.”

Qin Ran acted differently in life and work. In usual life, she was quiet and easygoing, whom people found comfortable to get along with. However, when it came to work, she was a career woman, who was decisive in talking and vigorous in carrying out the work.

After Wu Han left with Lin Su, Qin Ran became intensely engrossed in her work. In the next 24 hours, she would be fully occupied with things that were indeed extremely important for the Qin Family. Compared with her state, her old man in Beijing had been working day and night.

The reason why they were so busy was that if they could not handle some issues well now, and those issues might end up being a bomb that might blow up the Qin Family in the future. After all, numerous tycoons and financial groups had collapsed because of some petty issues in the past years. Since there were so many vivid examples, the Qin Family dared not to act carelessly. Whether it was Qin Changan or Qin Ran, both of them sensed a crisis was going to fall upon the Qin Family. It was instinct for a great family to take precautions.

Although Qin Sheng sensed something had gone wrong, he was powerless even though he wanted to help them now. The only thing he could now was take care of himself well instead of pulling his family members’ legs.

After Qin Sheng got up, he tidied up the house, went to the market to buy some necessities, and so on. After that, he drove to the old lady’s place for lunch. Currently, the most important thing for him was to accompany his grandmother.

The old lady, who had known her grandson would be here for lunch, asked the chef in the kitchen to cook more dishes. When it came to a simple thing like this, the old lady had asked the maidservant to call Qin Ran specifically, asking what her grandson’s favorite foods were, making Qin Ran, who was having a meeting now, burst into laughter. Qin Ran felt somewhat jealous about how dearly the old lady favored Qin Sheng.
