Wang Rui nodded emphatically, inwardly marveling. She realized that just a few days working alongside Qian Duoduo had been like opening the door to a treasure trove of knowledge, yielding a wealth of experiences. This invaluable experience and knowledge far surpassed anything she had gained through self-study in the past. This stark contrast ignited a burning passion for learning within the young woman. Her bright eyes shone with unwavering determination as she spoke without hesitation, "Mr. Qian, I sincerely hope to continue following you!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo was slightly taken aback, then a gentle smile appeared on his face as he softly replied, "Oh, little girl, aren't you following me now?" However, Wang Rui shook her head vigorously, explaining earnestly, "President Qian, what I mean is that I want to stay closer to you. Only in this way can I learn more wisdom and experience from you. After all, it's a world of difference compared to the clueless and blindly groping I went through in the past year."
Qian Duoduo smiled as he looked at the inquisitive young girl before him, gently gesturing to the sofa opposite him to let her sit down. After Wang Rui obediently took her seat, he leisurely picked up a steaming cup of jujube tea, took a sip, and slowly put the cup down. His gaze, calm and profound, fixed on her as he spoke softly, "Actually, you'll find yourself somewhat timid and hesitant when facing those people, often even being led by the nose. The reason for this is that your position isn't secure enough, and your own confidence is somewhat lacking."
Wang Rui frowned and pondered for a moment before slowly nodding in agreement. Indeed, recalling each trip to Tuocheng to communicate with the factory managers there, that intense feeling of being looked down upon was ever-present. She felt as insignificant as an ant, while the other party was high above, arrogant and domineering. This feeling left her deeply frustrated and resentful. Even though she was representing President Qian's assistant in business negotiations, she consistently failed to receive the respect and equal treatment she deserved. Ultimately, it was because those factory managers simply didn't take her, the so-called "President Qian's assistant," seriously, regarding her as an insignificant figure. After all, in their eyes, she was on a completely different level compared to those high-ranking factory managers, naturally becoming an object of contempt and disdain.
Qian Duoduo's treatment was different from his own. She was, after all, the undisputed boss of Wanmao Group! Leaving aside Wanmao Company in Shenzhen and the landmark residential complex she developed, Dongfang Huating, her collaborative garment production line with two well-known garment factories in Guangzhou, along with her exceptional design capabilities and extensive sales channels, were enough to attract widespread attention. This alone was enough to easily attract those two previously arrogant factory managers to lower themselves and fawn over Qian Duoduo. Only when facing someone of such power and prestige would they willingly lower their stance to show respect.
Having figured this out, Wang Rui also woke up from her previous struggle and inferiority complex. She smiled and said, "Mr. Qian, thank you, but I really do want to learn from you."
Qian Duoduo said with a smile, "Great! It just so happens that I plan to stay in Guangdong Province for a while longer. In that case, your capable little assistant will have a chance to really shine!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Rui couldn't help but giggle, but then she hesitated for a moment before lowering her voice and cautiously asking, "So... is Manager Qian Gui also going to stay in Guangdong Province?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo's gossip-loving spirit ignited instantly. She gently put down the steaming teacup in her hand, leaned forward slightly, and stared intently at Wang Rui with a face full of curiosity, asking, "Oh ho, what's up? Could it be that you have feelings for our Manager Qian Gui?"
Upon being asked this, Wang Rui's cheeks flushed bright red, like a ripe apple. After a moment's thought, she slowly explained, "Actually, it's like this. My family keeps urging me to go on blind dates. Ever since I had the honor of becoming your assistant, they've gone even further. They not only hope I can help arrange jobs for their family members, but they're even planning to have me transfer this job directly to my sister. Unfortunately, Wanmao Company's rules and regulations are quite strict, and my position isn't as simple as that of an ordinary employee, so in the end, this matter had to be dropped."
Qian Duoduo nodded. In this day and age, it is possible for children to take over their parents' jobs, but she had never heard of an older sister taking over her younger sister's job, unless the younger sister's health condition prevented her from doing the job.
Wang Rui raised her head slightly, her gaze falling on Qian Duoduo, and said softly, "Before Qian Gui returned to Harbin, he had already made no attempt to hide his special affection for me, and I could truly feel that emotion. And to be honest, from what I can currently see, he has the most outstanding qualities."
Hearing this, Qian Duoduo pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Wang Rui, I've always had a high opinion of your abilities. As my subordinate, I'm very satisfied with your work skills, your attention to detail, and the broad vision and perspective you demonstrate when handling problems. However, there's something you must understand: Qian Gui is my cousin! As a member of the family, I naturally care a lot about his marriage, especially since it's an important task my aunt entrusted to me."
At this moment, Wang Rui simply stared silently at Qian Duoduo, saying nothing, making it difficult to guess what she was thinking. Seeing this, Qian Duoduo continued, "There's one more thing I need to make clear to you beforehand, which is that Brother Qian Gui had an unhappy marriage." Wang Rui nodded slightly in agreement, as this was no secret in Wanmao, and Qian Gui himself hadn't hidden it from her. She replied, "Qian Gui himself has mentioned this to me. In that failed marriage, he was undoubtedly the innocent victim who suffered the most."
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "That's right, he is a victim, but that doesn't mean he's a divorcee. Can your family agree to that?"
Wang Rui didn't speak; she didn't know either.
