Shangguan Ning and Jing Yichen finished their wash at two separate bathrooms and went for breakfast in the dining room.

The breakfast was a feast. Shangguan Ning forced herself to eat some food even though she didn’t feel so well.

She needed energy to fight against the cold at work later.

It was just half past seven and Jing Yichen was already dressed in a black suit and ready to go out. He needed to go back to Family Jing’s house before going to Jingsheng Enterprise with father Jing Zhongxiu for the meeting with all the big shareholders.

From this day on, Jingsheng Enterprise would be fully under his charge. It was something that he had been planning for ages, so he paid extra attention to it.


He snatched up a grey woolen overcoat, and was about to go out of the door when he thought for a second and withdrew his steps that had already crossed over the door threshold. He had noticed, at breakfast, that Shangguan Ning seemed to have caught a cold. It seemed that last night’s medicines didn’t work for her.

She had stood outside in the freezing air for so long in such thin clothes. It would be weird if she hadn’t caught a cold.

He went back to the bedroom in silent steps. That startled Shangguan Ning. “Why are you still here?” Didn’t he go out just now?

Jing Yichen looked unhappy. Did she want him to leave so badly?

He stretched out his hand to feel her forehead in concern and ordered. “You have got a fever. You are not allowed to go anywhere today. Just stay at home and rest! Order from the kitchen, whatever it is that you wish to eat. No more food delivery!”

“That doesn’t work! It is my first day of work and I mustn’t be absent! What if the boss gets a bad impression of me!” Shangguan Ning got anxious. She felt that she was doing well. It was nothing but a cold. She shouldn’t ignore going to work.

Although she addressed Jing Zhongxiu as Uncle Jing, yet it didn’t mean that she could act as she pleased. Being an assistant to the President of Jingsheng Enterprise was a job everyone was dreaming of. She really cherished this opportunity which her Uncle had got for her.

Hang on, what did he just say? Food delivery? How did he know that she had been ordering for food delivery?

“The buy-one-get-three -for- free thing yesterday… was your job?” She was 30 % doubtful and 70% positive about it.

Jing Yichen nodded, and replied with a gentle “yes”.


That explained it all… if delivery company sent gifts in this way, it would have probably closed down because of bankruptcy.

An unspeakable sense of warmth gushed into Shangguan Ning’s heart. He was able to notice even such a trivial matter. A sense of being taken care of by someone engulfed her.

She got slightly distracted but came back to reality quickly. “Please help me find someone to unlock the door. I need to get changed.”

“Unlocking the door is not a problem. But you mustn’t go to work today. Take some rest at home, and go back when you are completely well.” Jing Yichen was still worried. It didn’t matter if she worked or not. He was able to support her anyway.

“Alright, alright, I will stay at home, not work. Please, get someone to unlock the door for me!” Shangguan Ning rolled her eyes and agreed instantly.

As long as he was able to help with the unlocking, any condition would be fine. She could sneak out to work after he left. He wouldn’t know about it anyway.

She naively hatched a little plan,all the while smirking at him. She assumed that she would definitely be able to convince Jing Yichen who apparently had a higher IQ and EQ than her.

Jing Yichen’s expression calmed down at her agreement. Then he made a call to Tiger to fix the unlocking affair. It was a piece of cake for Tiger.

However, he mustn’t let Shangguan Ning know about it. Otherwise, she would assume that he had planned something evil carrying her all the way here.

Needless to say, he was indeed planning something evil.


In a little while he said to Shangguan Ning. “Okay, the door is open, you can…”

Hearing that the door is opened, Shangguan Ning sprinted out of the door without turning back.

Jing Yichen suddenly became cold seeing her sprinting out quickly.

This heartless little woman! Abandoning him directly after using him, without even saying a thank you!

He lifted his wrist and checked his watch. It was 7:40. Time to go.

Shangguan Ning immediately started to change her clothes, comb her hair and get ready for work.

Shangguan Ning had totally ignored her physical problem because of the tension and panic on the first day of work. She didn’t feel dizzy until she drove away from home for a distance.

It was forewarning of a cold. She hoped that it wouldn’t escalate so quickly, at least not today!

It was a quarter past eight when Shangguan Ning arrived at the company with car. The work hours at Jingsheng Enterprise started at 8:30.

She was dressed in black professional dress suit and a sapphire blue blouse. She was wearing a pair of black six-inch high-heel, and a body-fitting plaid blouse, looking exactly like a white-collar at work.


Shangguan Ning put on the overcoat, grabbed the bag and entered the organisation.

In the lobby of the Mansion, two striking-looking guides were standing there. Smiles hovered over their faces when they got to know that Shangguan Ning was the new assistant to the President.

Someone had already told them that the new assistant would start work today and that they needed to treat her well.

But what they didn’t expect was that this new assistant would be so beautiful. Even with the most ordinary black professional suit on her, she was still able to put all the so-called beautiful girls at the Enterprise in shadow with the fresh and pure vibe that she gave out.

She was wearing light makeup. Her skin was white and tender, facial features exquisitely beautiful, especially the pair of eyes which were like a pure springs and left a deep impression on everyone’s heart.

The two guides confirmed her identity politely and led her to the elevator. “President’s office is located on the 76th floor. You need the card to get upstairs. I will swipe it for you.”

Shangguan Ning followed the guides to the elevator. The guide’s card touched the sensor and the elevator showed the button of 76th floor automatically.

Shangguan Ning thanked her politely, ignored the vaguely exploring look of the guide and went up to the 76th floor by herself.

The entire 76th floor was simply-embellished and looked quite classical. A thin, middle aged man in suit came towards her.

“Ms. Shangguan?”


Shangguan Ning nodded and said smilingly. “Hi, I am Shangguan Ning. And you are?”

“Hi, I am Lu Qing, the senior assistant to the President. I am here to hand over some important work affairs to you, and I will be your guide for two months until you are ready for the assistant work for the President. You can ask me any questions anytime.” Lu Qing looked serious and reserved.

He talked in an orderly manner, looking succinct and capable. He was apparently a very experienced employee.

Shangguan Ning thanked him gratefully. “It is my honor to learn from you, Senior. I will work hard and I will turn to you when I have questions.”

Lu Qing nodded lightly. He presented the President’s Office to her and brought her to the assistant’s office next to the President’s office.

“The President is holding a meeting on the top floor. It may be awhile before he comes down. Here is his schedule for the next two weeks. Please note the contents and report today’s schedule to him after he finishes the meeting.”
