21st-century film empress Xu Xinchen is reborn into the body of Lu Minshi in the 1980s.
Facing a boyfriend who betrayed her and had an affair with her younger sister, and a two-faced stepmoth...
Resigned, he walked into the office. His assistant, with a serious expression, asked, "President, is there anything I can help you with?"
Chen Ningsheng twirled the pen in his hand and turned his gaze to the window: "You..."
The assistant stood quietly, waiting for Chen Ningsheng to say the next word, but after waiting for a long time, he still couldn't hear anything. He couldn't help but look up at Chen Ningsheng in confusion.
When he looked up, he saw Chen Ningsheng staring intently at the scenery outside the window. His lips twitched, and he really wanted to grab Chen Ningsheng's shoulders and shake him violently, urging Chen Ningsheng to speak quickly, as he still had a lot of work to do.
Unfortunately, the assistant only dared to think about these actions in his mind and didn't dare to actually carry them out. There was no way around it; the boss was just too terrifying. It took a lot of courage for him to even think about it in his mind.
Chen Ningsheng probably realized he had been ignoring his assistant for too long, and after snapping out of his daze, he cleared his throat somewhat awkwardly: "Do you know any fun places around here?"
"Huh?" The assistant was genuinely stunned. Had he heard correctly? Who was asking him this question? Was this really his boss, the one who, once he got to work, no one except his wife could pull him away?
Looking at his assistant's expression, Chen Ningsheng lowered his head in disappointment: "It seems you don't know."
Thinking about it, it makes sense. His assistant has been by his side for so many years, and whatever work he does, his assistant does too.
He rarely gets time off, so his assistant gets even less time off. It's understandable that the assistant doesn't go out much and doesn't know what fun places there are to visit.
Having been by Chen Ningsheng's side for so long, the assistant immediately understood what Chen Ningsheng was thinking upon seeing the expression on his face. He didn't dare to do it openly, but inwardly he rolled his eyes at Chen Ningsheng.
She muttered to herself, "Boss, do you think everyone is like you, only knowing how to work and not how to relax? Even though I don't have much time off, I still try my best to squeeze out some time to relax, okay?"
Chen Ningsheng placed his hopes on his assistant, thus withdrawing his attention from her. Just as he was about to wave his hand to let her go back to work, he saw her look up and ask him earnestly.
"President, do you have any requirements for this place to visit?"
Chen Ningsheng was taken aback, and his eyes began to show appreciation as he looked at his assistant: "I don't have any special requirements, just something that can help people relax. Do you know any good places like that?"
The assistant nodded very seriously, opened his mouth, and told Chen Ningsheng about all the places he had visited over the years that could help people relax.
In addition to introducing place names and addresses, it also included descriptions of the scenery and fun activities, which made Chen Ningsheng very satisfied, and he patted him on the shoulder.
"Well done, you really are all-around capable. Having you around really saves me a lot of trouble."
Being praised for something like this left the assistant, who always had high standards for himself, unsure whether to laugh or cry. After a long silence, he nodded gently to Chen Ningsheng: "President, you flatter me. It is my duty to share your burdens."
Chen Ningsheng narrowed his eyes with great pleasure, having been waiting for these words: "Since you enjoy working for me so much, then please help me plan a trip. It's for three days, and remember, it must be to a place that..."
A place for people to relax.
The assistant immediately felt like he had shot himself in the foot, but now that his boss had already made his decision, what could he do? Naturally, he had to do as his boss said.
He had come prepared to take on a task, and sure enough, he was given an extremely difficult one when he returned. The assistant felt that if he didn't get a raise soon, he would really betray his team.
Reluctantly, the assistant returned to his seat, opened the computer, and began typing the words "President's Travel Plan" in large characters on a blank document.
After staring blankly at the sentence for a while, the assistant slowly moved his fingers and began typing on the keyboard. About an hour later, the freshly made travel plan was placed in front of Chen Ningsheng's desk.
Chen Ningsheng picked up the travel plan and began to read it carefully. His assistant stood beside him, his face still expressionless, ready to take the travel plan back and make changes at any time.
To everyone's surprise, after reviewing the travel plan, Chen Ningsheng not only didn't ask him to take it back for revisions, but instead praised him, saying, "You did a great job. I'll give you a bonus at the end of the month."
The assistant's previously expressionless face instantly lit up, and his eyes gleamed with excitement as he looked at Chen Ningsheng. Money? He hadn't expected to actually get paid; this was fantastic!
Chen Ningsheng had no idea what his assistant was thinking. He folded up the travel plan, put it in his pocket, and then turned to his assistant and said, "While you're at it, book the hotels we'll need for the trip, and buy the tickets for all the attractions."
The assistant nodded earnestly, "No problem, no problem. As long as there's a raise, everything is fine."
"Yes, sir, I guarantee I'll complete the task."
After organizing his plans, Chen Ningsheng began to devise how to get Xu Xinchen out of the company, even though he was eager to go out and relax with her.
But according to what Aunt Fang just said, Xu Xinchen's whole heart is now focused on the upcoming design competition. It's uncertain whether she will be willing to go out and have fun with him, which is really worrying.
While thinking about this, Chen Ningsheng turned his head and his eyes fell on the pile of documents on the desk, and he immediately brought his thoughts back.
Forget it, he could talk about persuading Xu Xinchen after he got home from get off work tonight. Right now, he should focus on finishing up his work and getting all this done so he could finally relax and have some fun.
He didn't want to have to think about work while playing, making it impossible to enjoy the game. Just thinking about working and playing at the same time gave him the creeps.
