Chapter 282 Resurgence
Liu Xiangyi got in the car and the person who came to pick her up was Xu Fang.
Xu Fang had already received instructions, so when Liu Xiangyi asked about the content of the work, he said:
"Xiao Liu, you don't know that this is how things work for Miss Xu. When it's busy, it's very busy, and when it's not, it's very idle. Miss Xu is such a smart person. Since she is willing to offer us such a high salary, it can only be because we deserve it."
Xu Fang was taught to say these words by Xu Youyou. Even though she knew that Xu Youyou was saying them to coax Liu Xiangyi, Xu Fang was still very happy to hear them.
Liu Xiangyi was not so calm. After all, in the past year, her work intensity was shockingly low and she was slacking off almost every day. She was worried several times that the company would go bankrupt because she slacked off too much.
"Sister Xu, can you tell me the truth, is there so much work for the boss right now?" Liu Xiangyi asked.
Xu Fang was speechless. Last year, she accompanied Xu Youyou on various trips abroad, and this year she has been in China most of the time. She did not seem like Xu Youyou's all-round assistant, but more like just a driver. She only worked as a driver for one year and got a super high salary. Xu Fang actually felt a little guilty when she thought about it.
She calmed herself down and felt that she couldn't be led astray by Liu Xiangyi, so she said, "When Miss Xu needs you, you must be there immediately. This requires us to lay a solid foundation for ourselves when she doesn't need us."
"Lay a solid foundation?" Liu Xiangyi didn't quite understand.
Xu Fang explained with a smile: "The boss has a large study room with a rich collection of books at home. She always encourages us subordinates to read more and study more. You will know when you go there."
Liu Xiangyi nodded, not quite understanding.
It was Liu Xiangyi's first time to visit Xu Youyou's home. Like everyone else who visited Xu Youyou's home for the first time, looking at the huge and luxurious house, she almost forced herself not to show too much surprise. Although she felt her eyes were not enough, she didn't dare to look at it any more.
Xu Youyou looked at Liu Xiangyi's reserved look, and felt as if she saw herself many years ago. She smiled and asked her, "Are you still living in the dormitory arranged by the company? Are you used to it?"
Liu Xiangyi nodded vigorously and said, "Boss, I think the dormitory arranged by the company is already very good. It has a separate bedroom and a living room for me, with complete kitchen and bathroom facilities. If I rent a house like this by myself, it will cost 7,000 to 8,000 yuan a month. I definitely can't bear to do that."
The house that the company rented for Liu Xiangyi is in a very good location. It only takes five minutes to walk to work. Liu Xiangyi is very content. After all, many of her college classmates still earn less than 7,000 or 8,000 yuan a month, but she lives in a house in Shanghai that pays 7,000 or 8,000 yuan a month.
Xu Youyou smiled and said, "There is one thing I have to tell you. We are adjusting your work now. In order to make it more convenient for you to go to work, you may be asked to move here."
When Liu Xiangyi heard this, her mouth opened wide: "Me? I live with the boss?"
Xu Youyou said: "Your job is still an assistant. When I don't need you, you can do what you like, play with your phone or read a book. Just make sure you can come at any time during working hours. Outside of working hours, I don't make any requirements on you. But I'm a little worried. Will you be uncomfortable living in a different place?"
Xu Youyou treated Liu Xiangyi as kindly as if she were her own child. After all, this girl had a special physique, and she was afraid that if she didn't do well enough, it would harm herself. Yes Liu Xiangyi had always worked eight hours a week from nine to five, with two days off on weekends. Including the two hours of rest time at noon, she actually only worked about thirty hours a week.
And during these original thirty hours, she spent most of her time doing nothing.
Now, after hearing what Xu Youyou said, she actually felt like changing the place to be in a daze.
She thought for a moment and said, "Boss, I have no objection to moving to a new place, a house that I would never dream of living in...but you still have to tell me clearly what I have to do."
Xu Youyou suddenly felt that the moral burden was too heavy, which was sometimes not a good thing, but she changed her mind and realized that if the person favored by God was a bad person, she would only be more unhappy.
Xu Fang leaned close to Xu Youyou's ear and lowered her voice to repeat to her what they had said on the road.
Xu Youyou thought of her words in the shortest possible time and said with a smile, "Xiao Liu, I am planning to write a book about porcelain identification. I have already decided on the outline, but I need an assistant to help me sort out and compile a lot of specific information and references to books. I think you can do this job."
This was the first time Liu Xiangyi had heard such specific and clear job content in the one year she had worked for Xu Youyou. She immediately perked up: "Boss, although I have never done this kind of work, since you have ordered me to do so, I will definitely complete the task with all my heart."
What Xu Youyou said was not made up casually. She really planned to write a professional book. Nowadays, these appraisers in China are quite self-righteous. Many people who want to join the industry don’t know where to start if they want to learn.
Xu Youyou felt that since she had won the favor of the system, she should do something to benefit society.
"This is the outline I have drawn up. I roughly remember the books I have referred to. You can go through these books first." Xu Youyou handed her manuscript to Liu Xiangyi.
Sister Zhang, the housekeeper, led Liu Xiangyi to the study.
Although Xu Fang didn't understand why Xu Youyou wanted Liu Xiangyi to be her assistant, Xu Youyou also told her that Liu Xiangyi would not affect her position as the first assistant.
"Boss, I just got feedback on the matter you asked me to investigate. For the past year, the Gu family has been on the verge of bankruptcy, but has not yet gone bankrupt. About three months ago, Hongcheng Capital invested in the Gu family, and now the Gu family has come back to life." Xu Fang said.
Xu Youyou raised her eyebrows slightly, she did not expect this result. Star Diamond had already collapsed, but she did not expect that the Gu family, a small fry, could still survive tenaciously.
"Hongcheng Capital? Have you found out where it came from?" Xu Youyou asked.
Xu Fang shook his head and said, "This force in Gangcheng is very mysterious. After searching for a long time, I could only find a name. I vaguely know that this person is from Gangcheng, but I asked people in Gangcheng to help investigate, but I didn't find any results."
Xu Youyou frowned and asked, "How are the children of the Gu family doing now?"
The Gu family has four children. The eldest is a businessman, the second is a star, the third is a painter, and only Gu Xueying, with the title of socialite, works in several charitable foundations.
"Other people seem to be no different from usual. Only Gu Yuji has become more famous in the past year. He has held several exhibitions in Europe. His paintings are highly sought after by celebrities at home and abroad."
