The voice sounded vaguely familiar, and after a moment's thought, Yu Ningning couldn't quite place it. Ignoring the detail, she asked directly, "This is Yu Ningning. How can I help you?"

The deep, resonant male voice paused for a moment before continuing, "Ms. Yu, you just posted a job ad online for a personal assistant. I have a few questions about this position..."

This is naturally expected when interviewing for a job.

Yu Ningning hummed in agreement: "Go ahead."

The voice on the other end became increasingly magnetic, and upon closer listening, there was a hint of trepidation: "Excuse me, does this position mean I can directly interact with Ms. Yu? Or live with Ms. Yu?"

Yu Ningning was somewhat surprised to hear the question, expecting inquiries about salary, benefits, working hours, and job duties. She quickly replied, "This position involves serving me and taking care of the artists under my management. Most of the time, you'll be following my work assignments and will be in direct contact with me. However, currently, you don't need to live with me. Of course, if you don't have a place to stay, we can consider arranging accommodation for you later."

There was a soft "hmm" on the other end, followed by the question, "Can I contact you 24 hours a day?"

"?" Yu Ningning felt even more puzzled, and frowned slightly. She patiently explained, "Although the entertainment industry is different from ordinary industries, and it is often impossible to implement a 9-to-5 work system, our company still abides by labor laws and will pay attention to ensuring the workload of employees. There will be no situation where employees are exploited 24 hours a day."

You can rest assured about that.

Hearing Yu Ningning's explanation, the voice on the other end sounded somewhat regretful: "Is that so..."

Yu Ningning raised an eyebrow and continued, "There's another point I need to make to you. Our company is continuously expanding and will always be hiring. So, although we're hiring a temporary assistant, if you perform well and complete three months, we'll offer you a long-term contract."

As if hearing some good news, the voice on the other end, though still magnetic, carried a hint of pleasure: "It would be quite nice to be able to work with Miss Yu long-term. I see the job requirement is to start immediately, can I start today?"

“We do have work starting today,” Yu Ningning explained first, then immediately asked, “Don’t you have any other questions about this job? Like the salary, social insurance and housing fund, benefits?”

There was a noticeable pause on the other end before someone seemed to be recalling something and said, "Your conditions are a starting salary of 9,000 per month, plus performance bonuses? Eight days off per month, which you can arrange as you like?"

“I am very satisfied with this salary and benefits. I would even like to reduce the base salary by half. There is no performance requirement. I am willing to accept this job. Please rest assured, Ms. Yu.”

Yu Ningning: ...

Is the job market this competitive now?

In any case, Yu Ningning was indeed in a hurry to hire people today, and she couldn't be picky anymore, so she said decisively, "I happen to be short-staffed here too. Since you don't have any other requirements and can start work immediately tomorrow, send me your location and I'll come pick you up later."

"We happen to have a shoot tomorrow and need someone to be on set to provide some assistance."

"No need," the other person replied calmly. "I'm staying at the same hotel as you, and I'll be waiting for you in the lobby on the first floor later."
