Chapter 93: Repaying Kindness with Revenge
He asked this question softly, his tone gentle but without much emotion, like a test, or as if he was just talking casually.
She lowered her head slightly, her voice neither too high nor too low, but revealing a sense of caution: "I am currently in charge of the research and testing of cleaning products."
After a while, the sunlight shone through the pool, creating ripples on the surface. The air seemed much quieter. His gaze lingered on her face, as if he was lost in thought before he spoke slowly, "If I arrange for you to come to my place now and offer you a position as my personal assistant, would you be willing to accept it?"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a stone smashing into the lake of Shen Yan's heart, setting off a huge storm.
Her heart suddenly trembled, and she almost thought she had heard it wrong. Her eyes opened wide in an instant, and an unconcealable look of shock appeared on her cheeks, her face full of surprise and disbelief.
What's going on?
This happened suddenly!
There was absolutely no sign at all!
Personal assistant?
Isn't he the kind of person who takes care of his master's daily life, arranges his daily schedule, and accompanies him all the time?
Wouldn't that mean the role would involve direct contact with the host's private activities and affairs in their respective rooms?
What does that position mean?
It is on the edge of the master's most inner and intimate circle, and is an opportunity that countless slaves dream of!
You will be responsible for handling and controlling all daily affairs, big and small. Not only will you have heavy responsibilities, but you will also have frequent contact with senior executives, and your status will naturally be greatly improved.
Of course she was willing to go. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. A position that many people could not wait for was actually placed in front of her!
But reason eventually reminded her of the cruel reality - her ability was not enough for such a position.
Her level and experience are far from meeting the requirements for being a personal assistant.
She knew very well that if she forced herself into this position, not only would she not be able to help her master, but it might also bring unnecessary trouble and might even implicate herself.
She hesitated for a moment, then spoke softly, feeling somewhat troubled. "Third Master, I don't understand why you suddenly brought this up to me. Have you encountered any troubles lately? Or are you facing any difficulties?"
Chen Zeyu's face was calm, showing no emotion. He replied calmly, "It's like this. My personal assistant resigned today, leaving us short of someone. I happened to think of you. Since I know you, I just wanted to ask if you'd be interested in taking the job."
He said it lightly, but there was no obvious coercion or urging in his tone: "If you don't want to do it, then forget it. It's better for you to make this decision yourself."
He had met her a few times before.
Her appearance is outstanding, even stunning, and her temperament and demeanor just match his aesthetic standards.
She also behaves very appropriately, with quick movements and clear organization.
For example, when it comes to tidying up items in the room and arranging work processes, she is always able to do things in an orderly manner, which is admirable.
If she were to handle daily chores for him, the layout and atmosphere of the room would surely be more pleasing to the eye and comfortable.
More importantly, she always carries out the tasks assigned to her meticulously as required.
Not only is he obedient, but he is also well-behaved and polite, and he is down-to-earth and reliable in his work.
If you use such an assistant for a long time, you will naturally feel satisfied and your efficiency will be improved.
If he really needs to arrange a new personal assistant in the future, he will probably give priority to this candidate.
Shen Yan had now returned to a calm state of thinking.
Although she had a strong desire to become the master's personal assistant.
Holding a position like that would mean she would be closer to the heart of power in the estate.
At the same time, you will also have the opportunity to access more resources and important connections, which is undoubtedly the best path to achieve your goals.
However, after careful consideration, she ultimately preferred the position of being the exclusive personal assistant in the young lady's family.
In comparison, being a full-time assistant in the young master's mansion means frequently going in and out of the male master's living room to help him take care of work details such as changing clothes, recording schedules, and even searching for some personal belongings.
However, if such a position involves too much private interaction, it can easily lead to some unnecessary misunderstandings or emotional sprouts.
After all, this is a large mansion with strict rules, with many people talking and gossip easily spread - if you are not careful you will give people a chance to talk.
If there really is some unclear connection or misunderstanding with the Third Master, it might bring disaster upon oneself.
What's more, although she is not yet at the center of power, she has already performed well in terms of financial situation.
The income is stable and considerable, and life is relatively easy and comfortable.
Just complete your job on time and don't be overly restricted by others.
It is precisely because you can make decisions independently that you can have true freedom and happiness.
But once she develops an overly close emotional connection with the Third Master Chen Zeyu, she may no longer be able to control the rhythm of her personal life.
After thinking about the possible consequences, she immediately expressed her thoughts politely to the Third Master in front of her:
"Regarding the selection of the new assistant for the Third Master, I will explain the situation to the housekeeper as soon as possible.
I believe they will find a truly suitable successor for San Ye."
She smiled and said, "People selected through formal channels should be more in line with Third Master's requirements in terms of ability."
At this moment, Chen Zelu was standing by the fish pond in the courtyard, still holding the can of fish food that he had just taken out.
But after hearing what she said, the expression on his face became subtle.
The interest I had in feeding the koi in the pond also disappeared.
He gently closed the lid of the jar in his hand, but his eyes fell on the reflection on the water in the distance, and he fell into silence for a moment.
He always liked to come to the lotus pond in the courtyard in his spare time and feed the group of koi.
The sight of the fish leaping in his hands and vying for food always brings him joy.
Every time he saw the koi swimming, his heart would feel relaxed, as if all his worries were gently carried away by the ripples in the pond.
But at this moment, his mood changed subtly.
Faced with the little ones that surfaced expectantly, he lost his usual interest and patience.
It seemed that even the fish food in my hand became heavy.
So he threw most of the remaining fish food into the trash can, with no intention of feeding the fish anymore.
He gathered his thoughts, stood up and walked away.
When passing by Shen Yan, his tone was low and light, like a casual remark: "The little thing who repays kindness with enmity."
Before he finished speaking, he had already walked away without even leaving an explanation.
Shen Yan still stood there, stunned for a moment.
