The new Chairman Mu seemed like a reasonable man and not one to make a fuss without pretext. He was also straightforward in identifying problems and did not beat around the bush. He delivered his point with just a sentence or two.

The impression garnered from this single meeting was that he was too beautiful yet a little distant with an intense aura. Nevertheless, he was not as scary as made out to be. One simply needed to express their ideas and opinions in the most direct way without the fluff. The meeting—which they expected to drag on till the afternoon—ended before eleven o’clock. Everyone was relieved.

It became common knowledge that Mister Mu was far more capable compared to the frivolous Vice President Mu. The senior executives who were on the fence earlier this morning were now undoubtedly on Mu Jinchen’s side. 

Qidong followed Mu Jinchen back to the Chairman’s office.

Mu Jinchen held a cigarette in his thin alluring lips and lit it. He took several puffs before flicking the ashes off.

Qidong, who was accustomed to Mu Jinchen’s various styles, felt that the young master was the most attractive when smoking. Although he did not smoke, he had the opinion that cigarettes could bring out the full potential of a mature man’s charms. 

To be able to bring out a man’s charms to such a level. It was impressive.

Mu Jinchen sat down on his executive chair. He drummed his fingers on his desk a few times before he said, “Find out where Yuhao went off too.”

It had to be a serious matter for him to be called away during such an important meaning.

“Young Master, the younger master must’ve gone to see Miss Jing. Zhengming told me this morning that the younger master asked him to check the hospitals for a person by the name of Jing Wushuang at midnight.”

Zhengming was Mu Yuhao’s assistant, whom Qidong was close to.

“Jing Wushuang…” Mu Jinchen muttered the name lightly and slowly to himself. It seemed that ever since he returned to the country, he had encountered these three characters of her name the most.

He took a puff of the cigarette, curled his thin lips, and said, “It’s her again. What a time for this name to pop up.”

“…” Even as an exceptional assistant, Qidong had no response.

“How’s her performance at work?”

Qidong was able to answer this one. As a top assistant, the first thing he did was familiarize himself with the company’s senior and middle management executives when he was made aware that he was to be transferred back.

“Miss Jing is a star employee. She joined the company as an intern prior to graduating from university. Within three years, she rose from an intern to her current position as Project Manager. This is the fastest progression of any employee within the organizations in recent years. She’s the benchmark for which all interns strived to be. Grand Old Master personally recommended her as an intern. Apparently, she’s one of Grand Old Master’s subordinates’ granddaughter. However, that was only a referral as her achievements today are all thanks to her hard work and efforts. She’s quite a remarkable person.”

Thus was the skills of a top assistant. He had the background of everyone ranked manager and above committed to memory and could regurgitate the information at will.

Mu Jinchen extinguished the cigarette and rubbed his thumb across the corner of his lips as he slouched into the back of his executive chair. “I don’t see it,” came his reply.

He could not imagine her blushing face negotiating a project. That shy, delicate girl who easily blushed was a project manager? 

“Miss Jing isn’t as delicate as she looks on the surface. Her grandfather and your grandfather were both in the military. She was an inter-varsity women’s mixed martial arts champion. She’s also placed in the intra-city amateur competition.”
