Chapter 68 Trust
Seeing that Xu Qingsui was still stunned and obviously didn't understand what he meant, Manager Guo said more bluntly: "CEO Huo has transferred you to be his special assistant. You should pack your things and report to the CEO's office."
"Follow Mr. Huo and work hard. Although I am reluctant to let you go, I am very happy for you. I believe that your future is limitless. I am also half of your teacher. You are leaving soon, but I still want to say something to you. No matter when, never give up on improving yourself, never give up on the path you should take, and remember your original intention!"
"Thank you, Manager Guo. I'll make a note of it."
After coming out of Manager Guo's office, Song Jin quickly approached her. Seeing her sad face, he asked with concern, "Did Manager Guo scold you? Don't be discouraged. Every colleague in our office has been scolded by him. He is just too serious and strict in doing things. He is actually a very good person."
Xu Qingsui nodded: "I know, Manager Guo didn't scold me, don't worry."
Song Jin breathed a sigh of relief: "Why are you unhappy? Is the new task too difficult?"
Xu Qingsui and Song Jin had a pretty good relationship, and anyway, this matter would soon spread throughout the company, and it wasn’t a secret, so she told her right away: “I’m going to be transferred.”
"Where are you going?"
"Work as a special assistant in Mr. Huo's office."
Song Jin stood there in a daze, unable to believe his ears.
Mr. Huo’s special assistant?
What kind of status is that? Even a postdoctoral fellow who has studied abroad may not be qualified. To be Mr. Huo’s special assistant, in addition to having strong working ability, one must also have extensive knowledge, at least graduate from a prestigious university, and be a close confidant. All three conditions are indispensable.
This is something the company has always known. Although Mr. Huo has many assistants and secretaries, he still does not have a special assistant.
"Are you kidding?" Song Jin asked.
Xu Qingsui was confused. Although she had been in the company for neither long nor short, she was not a gossiper and therefore did not know much about some of the company's rumors. As a result, she did not know the conditions for the president to recruit a special assistant.
She asked in confusion: "I guess I heard it right. This is what Manager Guo told me."
Song Jin was stunned. After a long while, she hugged Xu Qingsui and said excitedly: "My dear sister, please don't forget me. Take me to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks. We will be good sisters for life!"
Xu Qingsui didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I went to be Mr. Huo's assistant. It wasn't a promotion. I just switched from working for Manager Guo to working for Mr. Huo."
Song Jin rolled his eyes speechlessly. It turned out that this little girl had no idea how valuable the position of the president's special assistant was.
I really don't know whether she did it unintentionally or deliberately to be irritating.
"You are not an ordinary assistant, you are the president's special assistant!" Song Jin reminded her in a stern tone.
Xu Qingsui looked uncertain: "Well, then what?"
"Special assistant, don't you know how valuable the position of the president's special assistant is?" Song Jin couldn't stand it and directly explained the reason: "Only those who meet the above three conditions are qualified to become the president's special assistant. They must have a doctorate from a prestigious university, be talented and capable at the top level in the world, and be the president's confidant or confidant. None of these can be missing."
Xu Qingsui: “…”
Are the conditions so harsh? She doesn't seem to meet any of them.
"Where can you find such a person? Where did you hear about him?"
"I didn't look for them outside." Song Jin was very gossipy, so he knew a lot of inside information: "This kind of talent is specially cultivated. They are usually the president's brothers and sisters, distant cousins, etc. They are specially cultivated to help the president."
Xu Qingsui nodded in understanding. This made sense.
"Previous CEOs have all cultivated their confidants in this way, but when it comes to CEO Huo's generation, the Huo family is so small that they probably can't find a suitable candidate, so the position of special assistant has been vacant until now."
Song Jin seemed to have thought of something and asked quickly, "But it's strange, why is it you?"
Xu Qingsui herself was also wondering why President Huo specifically asked her to be the special assistant.
She shook her head: "I don't know either."
"Did something happen when you were on a business trip to Country F? Are you..." Song Jin gave a malicious smile.
Xu Qingsui knew that she was joking, but unfortunately she was guilty. There was indeed something unclear between her and Huo Xilin.
Fearing that Song Jin would be exposed if he continued to ask, Xu Qingsui quickly ran away: "Don't say anything that doesn't happen."
On that day, the news that Xu Qingsui had become Huo Xilin's special assistant spread throughout the company.
Xu Qingsui reported to Huo Xilin's office.
Huo Xilin had already prepared a desk and a computer for her near the window: "You will sit there from now on."
Xu Qingsui looked at that place and remembered that it was where Huo Xilin used to work. Now he moved his desk to the side.
Ever since she was injured, Huo Xilin's behavior seemed to become more and more abnormal, and she was increasingly confused.
Xu Qingsui asked: "Boss Huo, why me?"
"What?" Huo Xilin raised his head and looked at Xu Qingsui in confusion.
"Why did you choose me as your special assistant? I remember the company's requirements for special assistant recruitment, and I don't meet any of them."
Although she graduated from a prestigious university, she did not pursue a doctorate. She was considered to be quite capable, but still far from the world's top level, not to mention that she was not a member of the Huo family.
"The conditions for recruiting a special assistant are not set by the company, but by the incumbent president. The previous recruitment requirements were set by my grandfather. I can't change them." Huo Xilin leaned back, put his hands together and rested them on his chin, looking at Xu Qingsui with a smile.
Xu Qingsui was speechless. She felt like she was being teased.
"Boss Huo, this is not a joke."
"What I said is also true." Huo Xilin put his hand down and continued, "Do you remember when we were in Country F, I asked you if you were willing to work for me? Now I am fulfilling my promise."
"Then there is no need to put me in the position of special assistant. I am not worthy of the position." Xu Qingsui said dejectedly.
She was very happy to be able to work with Huo Xilin, because it meant that she could learn more, which would be more beneficial to her future development and allow her to create value for the company faster. At that time, it would be considered as repaying Huo Xilin for his kindness to her.
She really didn't want to owe him too much.
But Xu Qingsui still knew she was not worthy of the position of special assistant.
"If I say you are worthy, then you are worthy!" Huo Xilin said domineeringly: "You underestimate yourself, Xu Qingsui. I am looking at your future value. I told you that I am a businessman and I never do business at a loss."
Xu Qingsui was stunned. She saw a kind of trust in Huo Xilin's eyes. At this moment, she had an idea that she must not let him down.
