60 What Is the Job Scope of a Personal Assistant? (1/2)

Ye Shuang's impression of An Zining could be summed up with the following choice words—simple-minded and quick to action.

Other than that, another memorable thing about An Zining was that she had a rather worrying little brother. It was an ostentatious slip-up by this brother that led to the previous adultery-expose that Ye Shuang had been roped into.

Who would have thought that the situation would have escalated to a divorce in just a few days? Based on what Mrs. Chen said before they parted, she was going to let this slide to give face to both families that were involved. So, what happened then‽

While Ye Shuang wondered about the possibility, she didn't let the surprise when she heard An Zining's name show on her face. She was so indifferent that it appeared like she had not had any interaction with this Mrs. Chen before.

When Han Chu brought Ye Shuang to Mr. Fang, the latter was just coming down from a series of mocking from Ruan Yuan's party. His confidence and pride were trampled on, and he was in a lousy mood. He gave Han Chu a side-eye and harrumphed. ”What do you want now?”

Han Chu nodded politely before pushing Ye Shuang from behind him and introduced her as naturally as he could. ”Your cousin's assistant.”

”Wow, so soon… Wait a minute!” Mr. Fang realized something was wrong mid-nod. His eyes widened in shock. ”She's the assistant you found me‽ Doesn't she work with horses‽”

When Yuan Ruan and her girlfriends were gloating, naturally, there were plenty of references to Ye Shuang. After all, this was a rare victory for the local team, and it was all thanks to Ye Shuang.

Mr. Fang was not clued into the fact that Ye Shuang was a coincidental helper; therefore, after listening to the group of girls' gloating, he assumed, understandably, that Ye Shuang was a rising jockey who they had hired, or else they wouldn't have trusted her so implicitly.

But just as this impression was starting to settle in his mind, Han Chu wandered over to say that the individual was actually a personal assistant. What the f*ck‽ Which personal assistant would be at the racecourse helping others train their horses‽

Han Chu raised his brow. ”Yes, that's one of her specializations.”

Mr. Fang thought about it and uttered in a round-about way, ”Han Chu, to be honest I've always been impressed by your professionalism, but the two consecutive events that happened today have made me believe I might need to change my previous impression of you.”

The first incident was, of course, the surprising loss of the star jockey, and the second was introducing a jockey as a personal assistant. If not for his friendship with Han Chu, if this was some other person, Mr. Fang would have called the hospital directly to have the person admitted into the mental ward.

Ye Shuang was feeling a little out of place. Even though she had confidence in herself, other than this horse appraisal talent, which had nothing to do with the job scope of a personal assistant, she did not have any eye-catching achievements on her resume.

Han Chu assigned her this case mainly because of Fang Mo, so Ye Shuang did not wish for Han Chu to be caught in this awkward position because of her. However, as she opened her mouth, trying to brush up her points before the man, Han Chu interrupted her readily and said in a calm and surprisingly righteous tone, ”A personal assistant doesn't require high technical skill, so don't give me all that crap. Furthermore, this is Ah Mo's friend, so just give her a chance. If you really feel disappointed later, I'll swap her out for someone else!”

Ye Shuang was speechless.

This kind of obvious going-through-the-backdoor tactic was readily accepted. Suddenly, Ye Shuang felt the world was indeed a very weird place.

Actually, if this was used in any other occasion, Fang Mo's name might not have been useful. Mr. Fang was willing to give him face mainly because his cousin was married to San Lin City, and he would visit the place several times annually. It was why he would have interactions with the local circle of elites.

Instead of giving Fang Mo face, it was more like he felt that Fang Mo was a worthy individual to be doing a favor for. Since Han Chu had openly mentioned that Ye Shuang was a close friend of Fang Mo, even if she wasn't really qualified as a personal assistant, at least Mr. Fang or An Zining would be able to gain access to Fang Mo via her.

No matter how he looked at it, it was a trade that had no disadvantage!

A businessperson had to look at a situation from all angles, and things like personal relationships and future investments should not be overlooked. After all, a favor done is a favor repaid in the future. Mr. Fang believed his cousin understood that as well. Therefore, after confirming Ye Shuang as the personal assistant, he pulled out his phone before the two of them to contact Mrs. Chen.

To his surprise, when he gave Ye Shuang's name, before he even brought up her relationship to Fang Mo, Mrs. Chen gasped with pleasant surprise. ”The Ye Shuang you mentioned is a long-haired beauty, right? She has super nice skin even though she isn't wearing any make-up?”

”…” Mr. Fang clutched the phone in his hands and turned around unconsciously. It was then he discovered that Ye Shuang did have unblemished skin. Initially, he had thought it was the glow from the make-up, but with the reminder from his cousin, he realized she was not wearing any make-up. ”It should be, Sister Ning, you know her?”

”Perfect, then your work is done!” An Zining announced. ”She can be the perfect bodyguard! This Ye Shuang is an impressive martial artist. It's decided, now you pass her the phone!”

”…”

”Hello‽”

Mr. Fang studied Ye Shuang with a curious gaze. The latter was waiting patiently for him to finish the call. The girl's body looked soft and feminine without any muscular lines. Even her skin was as smooth as a baby's bottom. She looked more like a pampered young lady than the martial artist that was mentioned by his cousin.

After a moment's hesitation, Mr. Fang turned back to the phone to say, ”Sister Ning, the person is here to apply for the personal assistant post.”
