Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot-Chapter 986 - 587: Poaching a Brother’s Employee, Business Secrets Carried Out in Secret
The springs and autumns in Beijing are always quite short. The cool wind passes by, the dry leaves rustle, giving a faint illusion of the imminent arrival of harsh winter.
Huo Qinqi, the groom, can’t participate in the entire wedding preparation process. Many things are organized by the Huo Family and Shen Shuci, with Ruan Mengxi wanting to find something to keep herself busy and help out as well.
That day, the autumn chill was piercing, and Tang Wan was sitting on a single sofa with a tablet in front of her, eating while watching a drama, while two others were busy.
Shen Shuci was filling out guest names on the wedding invitations based on the guest list, while Ruan Mengxi had a computer open, her fingers constantly scrolling the mouse.
"Auntie, listen to this piece of music," Ruan Mengxi said as she played a song.
"I think this one’s pretty good."
"Then let’s use this one." Ruan Mengxi was helping her make electronic invitations.
Tang Wan, seeing her selecting photos, leaned over to take a look, "I remember when you were in school, you couldn’t even make a PowerPoint. Now you can edit photos?"
"After starting work, there’s always a need for everything. It’s not easy to rely on others for help; sometimes the boss is in a hurry and there’s no one else to ask, so I had to do it myself."
As an assistant, perhaps you don’t need to master everything, but you do need to know a bit about everything.
"You come over to help me every day, doesn’t it interfere with your own work?" Shen Shuci turned her head slightly to look at her, "I remember you used to be very busy; it was hard to meet up with you."
"It’s fine, things have been quite relaxed lately." Ruan Mengxi smiled.
...
Meanwhile, Jiang Jinsang came back. He went to help check the wedding venue, and accompanying him was Jiang Chengsi. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
"Fourth brother, haven’t seen you in a while, have a seat," Tang Wan greeted him, and both Ruan Mengxi and Shen Shuci tidied up the things on the table, "I’ll pour you some tea."
"We’re all family, why is it every time I come over, you’re so polite?" Jiang Chengsi smiled, "Why are Auntie and Assistant Xiaoruan both here, working on invitations?"
Jiang Chengsi hadn’t seen the invitations yet, so he casually picked one up and examined it thoroughly.
The atmosphere at the Huo Family is too serious, and the senior members of the Shen Family worry about disturbing the elders; so often, wedding matters are handled over at Guantang Villa. Having been married before, Tang Wan can offer quite a few suggestions.
"Since you’re here, take your invitation as well as third brother’s with you later," Tang Wan smiled at him, "What have you been busy with lately? Grandma mentioned she hasn’t seen you in a while."
"What else? It’s all club stuff. I plan to open before the end of the year, and I’ve been recruiting drivers and staff," Jiang Chengsi was exhausted.
"Xiaowu is an exception as he’s busy with the wedding, but Qi Zeyan, that guy, said the company’s been busy with end-of-year accounting, and he doesn’t come to help either?"
"It seems everyone thinks that just because they put in some money, they can wash their hands of the whole affair."
Speaking of Qi Zeyan, Tang Wan instinctively glanced at Ruan Mengxi, who was still engrossed in her design, seemingly unaffected.
"Assistant Xiaoruan, with your boss being so busy, how do you have time to be here?" Jiang Chengsi looked at Ruan Mengxi, moving closer to her from behind, "Doing some work, huh? You’re doing pretty well."
"It’s alright," Ruan Mengxi smiled.
"Xiaoruan, come over, let’s have a private chat," Jiang Chengsi grinned at her.
But everyone could tell his smile was hiding something, surely he had an agenda.
"Is there anything you can’t say here?" Ruan Mengxi, not very familiar with him, felt a bit puzzled by the sudden suggestion of a private chat.
"It’s Xiaowu’s place, what could I possibly do to you," Jiang Chengsi smiled.
Ruan Mengxi had no choice but to follow him into a side room.
She wondered why he wanted to talk to her since they had no interactions, not even being WeChat friends. Turned out his first sentence was:
"Xiaoruan, have you ever thought about switching jobs?"
"..."
Ruan Mengxi was a bit confused. She had considered many possibilities but never thought Jiang Chengsi was trying to poach her.
"Actually, I know something about you, and you’re capable, but with Zeyan, your position is a bit awkward. Besides, always being an assistant to someone, where is the room for development?"
Jiang Chengsi believed that although he’s not particularly eloquent, the conditions he offered were definitely enticing.
"Look, my club is just starting, and I need people. You come to my place, help me manage, do some promotional work, which wouldn’t be difficult for you."
