Chapter 548 A Down-on-his-luck Assistant Becomes the Strongest Manager (4)
Jin Shu is a genius.
Gu Xing had already discovered it.
No matter what program she participates in, she can arrange everything perfectly.
So even though this assistant often gave him a hard time, Gu Xing, who was always stingy, never held it against her.
"How about I give you a raise, and you sign a long-term contract with me?"
Jin Shu didn't even look up.
"No, a long-term contract is essentially a servitude contract."
Gu Xing suddenly stood up, moved closer to Jin Shu, and emphasized with a hint of coaxing in his voice.
"I'm so handsome, don't you want to stay by my side as my personal assistant forever?"
This is his classic trick, which has captivated many fans at his concerts.
She was truly and utterly bewitched.
But it didn't work on Jin Shu.
She had tried many times. Ever since she woke up from that dream, Jin Shu felt that she might have directly lost the ability to "like".
Let alone Gu Xing, even Kaili, whom she was once madly in love with, is now less attractive to her than the monkeys in the zoo.
In short, in her eyes, male beauty is not even as good as a pile of dog poop on the ground.
"I suggest you try to entice me with the promise of a raise."
Jin Shu remained serious and expressionless, which greatly shocked Gu Xing.
He opened the mirror above his head, looked at his face carefully, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he is still handsome; the problem lies with Jin Shu.
"Then tell me how much salary you'll get, you name it."
"Let's go by market rates: 3,500 during the internship and 8,000 after becoming a full-time employee."
"Eight thousand? What can eight thousand do? It doesn't match the value of your labor. If you only ask for that amount, it will make me think you're ready to run away at any time."
A good assistant is not available on the market.
Because of his bad temper, Gu Xing has changed more than a dozen assistants in the five years since his debut. No one understands the meaning of this sentence better than him.
"How about this, I'll give you 30,000?"
Jin Shu quickly typed the last line, then closed her laptop, pushed up her thick glasses, and remained expressionless.
“My goal is not to be your lifelong personal assistant, so no matter how much money you offer me, I will not sign a long-term contract with you.”
"So what's your goal? You don't mean you want to marry me, do you?"
Jin Shu remained silent, watching him quietly.
Gu Xing suddenly started to struggle with his feelings, looking extremely distressed and conflicted.
"Your appearance isn't to my taste, but if there's really no other way..."
"I advise you to shut up."
"oh."
Gu Xing lay back down in his chair, sighed deeply, and said slowly.
"Jin Shu, you need to understand one thing: the number of assistants currently far exceeds market demand. If you leave me, I guarantee you won't find another boss who treats you like I do."
The man's words carried a hint of arrogance.
This is a common problem among celebrities, and Jin Shu can understand it.
In their eyes, an assistant is always just a full-time nanny, responsible not only for work arrangements but also for daily life.
He delegated all the simplest and most inconspicuous daily tasks to his assistant, so in his eyes, Jin Shu was like a car he was used to driving—somewhat important, but he could replace her if things didn't work out.
Jin Shu is very clear-headed and never looks for problems in anyone other than herself.
The only thing she can change is herself, so she needs to be even more perfect.
As for why, it's because it's a mission.
Why is the mission so important to her that she would risk everything without any punishment or reward?
Jin Shu herself couldn't understand it either.
In short, she only needs to know one thing: she must complete the mission.

"Sister Jin, where did Teacher Gu go? We have to sign the contract tomorrow, why isn't he back yet?"
Xiao Bai is Gu Xing's other male assistant, a recent college graduate, who is responsible for Gu Xing's more private daily life.
Just as he had prepared everything for his business trip, he opened the door and found that Gu Xing was no longer in the room.
It's a terrible thing for an artist to disappear without a trace, so he immediately contacted Jin Shu.
Gu Xing's private phone number can only be reached by two people: his agent and Jin Shu.
So when Jin Shu heard the sound of waves on the other end of the phone, she knew in her heart that he definitely wouldn't be able to make it back by tomorrow.
"Sister Jin, where is Teacher Gu? We need to catch a flight there tonight."
"Never mind him, pack your things and let's fly there first."
Xiao Bai looked shocked.
"Ah, shall we go ahead first?"
"Yeah, he's sunbathing on the other side of the world."
Jin Shu knew Gu Xing's character better than anyone else.
He basically lacks any of the fine qualities that artists possess.
There's none of that. Dedicated, hardworking, or fan-loving.
If it weren't for his outstanding personal qualities, exceptional strength, and a group of die-hard fans who would never give up on him, this guy would have been banned in the Atlantic long ago.
I was supposed to sign an important business deal tomorrow, but they took a plane and left early this morning.
Jin Shu called him, and he sounded relaxed.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely be there tomorrow."
As for what time I'll arrive, it depends on my mood.
In this situation, Jin Shu didn't care whether he lived or died, so that night she canceled Gu Xing's business class ticket and used it to upgrade herself and Xiao Bai to first class, and the two of them comfortably lay down at their destination.
"Sis, the contract is being signed tomorrow. Should we talk to the brand beforehand and tell them that Mr. Gu might not be able to come tomorrow?"
Seeing Jin Shu's calm and indifferent expression, Xiao Bai finally couldn't help but remind her.
It's better to mention this in advance, otherwise if the main person isn't there when we arrive at the event tomorrow, wouldn't that make the brand even more unhappy?
Even a novice knows how important this commercial endorsement is to Gu Xing's fashion resources.
Unfortunately, the person involved didn't take it seriously.
After getting off the plane, Jin Shu first went to eat some local delicacies, and then used the money that was originally intended to reimburse Gu Xing to book a five-star hotel.
His calm demeanor showed no sign of anxiety.
Jin Shu used to care the most about Gu Xing's work arrangements, but now she's the one with the most free time.
"Does Sister Lin know about this?"
The "Sister Lin" that Xiaobai mentioned is Gu Xing's agent, but because Sister Lin manages many artists, she can't usually control Gu Xing too much, as long as he doesn't make any major mistakes.
Because Jin Shu is reliable, Sister Lin entrusted the entire contract signing process to her again.
"No need, get some rest tonight, you'll be busy tomorrow."
Xiao Bai slept in the deluxe king room with trepidation for the entire night.
The signing time was agreed to be 2 PM.
Jin Shu arranged for Xiao Bai to do some errands early in the morning.
"Just buy according to the list I wrote down, and deliver it on time."
