As Su Rui thought of the topic which Gu Yu Cheng talked about halfway today, Su Rui was so curious that she would feel very uncomfortable without asking.
Hearing this, Su Hong Yuan knitted his eyebrows.
He said to himself: Impressive. Rui Rui has only attended two days of basic lessons in economic management, and her cognition has improved so much.
“The two positions in economic analysis and comprehensive finance are good.” Su Hong Yuan nodded as he said. It is just that the workload is heavy.
“As for the other position, it would naturally be referring to the assistant of a chairman.” he said and paused. Su Hong Yuan looked at Su Rui again and continued, “I told you this the last time.”
Su Rui: He did?
Su Hong Yuan did say but what he said was, “To let his daughter follow him to the company for a stroll. “
In an enterprise, the chairman is the person who manages the overall situation. As an assistant, even though he/she is not required to make overall decisions, he/she needs to understand most of the matters related to the company and would need to engage in these matters. The assistant may need to be more knowledgeable than a chairman in these matters.
Just that.
“If you want to be a trainee in this position, you can just work under your father at our company. Don’t go to another company even if it is a school’s internship.” Su Hong Yuan emphasized as he looked at Su Rui.
“Why?” Gu Yu Cheng seemed to have also said the same thing where it is not suitable for her.
“You would be mistreated in another company.” Su Hong Yuan said leisurely.
A job of an assistant is not an easy job. If Su Rui was to work under her father, naturally, he wouldn’t mistreat his daughter.
But if she was to work at another enterprise, it is not a guarantee that she would not meet demanding bosses.
Of course, there was a more important reason that Father Su didn’t tell Su Rui.
That is: Su Rui is too beautiful.
The position of an assistant may sometimes be tricky.
Even if this is a job that handles serious matters, there would be times when filthy situations would occur, and the other people’s perspective on it would be not so proper anymore.
Father Su has seen a lot of these matters.
Regardless whether Su Rui didn’t involve herself with these, but as long as she didn’t make the fact that she is from the Su family known, it would be unavoidable that she wouldn’t be spoken ill of.
And, what if she really met these filthy people?
“Rui Rui, if you really want to be a trainee, don’t consider other companies, just work in our company will do, do you understand?” Su Hong Yuan said.
“Alright.” Su Rui smiled and nodded.
Su Rui had no objections about Father Su’s suggestion.
Su Rui remembered when she was reading novels, she would sometimes come across: sons and daughters of wealthy families would set aside their family’s assets and hide their identity to work in another company from the entry-level.
At that time, Su Rui, as an employee working in the entry-level, always felt motivated when reading these types of plots.
Nonetheless, life is still life, and it is not a novel.
In reality, if Su Rui had been given this opportunity, she wouldn’t do that.
It is not that working in the entry-level would mean that one can learn a lot from it.
After all, no one has an inclination to be mistreated or be bullied.
Isn’t it better to be in a favourable position?
Su Hong Yuan is pleased that Su Rui agreed so straightforwardly.
“There is a product meeting in the company tomorrow. My daughter, how about following your father, to the meeting, to gain insight?” Su Hong Yuan asked expectantly.
Without waiting for Su Rui’s reply, Liu Yue, who was sitting on the side, removed her face mask and looked at them.
“Qu, qu, qu.[1] Your company’s product meeting is like a brawl. Don’t let our daughter be unhappy by attending the meeting.” Liu Yue looked at Su Hong Yuan in disgust and said, curtly.
“What are you talking about? In that meeting, we are discussing the truth. How is it like a brawl?” Su Hong Yuan said displeasingly.
“Anyway, I don’t care. Don’t bring Rui Rui with you tomorrow.” Liu Yue said bluntly and added, “Furthermore, there is also a banquet tomorrow. I’m going to take Rui Rui with me.”
“A banquet? Whose family’s banquet is it?” There is a banquet, why isn’t he aware of it?
“It doesn’t belong to any family. It’s a charity dinner organised by the Sky Blue Foundation” Liu Yue said.
This kind of banquet is different from the banquets of the enterprises and families in their nature. It can be summarised into two types. For charitable contributions and to compete between beautiful women and Madams for glamour.
As the business of Su Hua group has expanded in recent years, her identity as ‘Mrs Su’ has also risen.
Liu Yue has rarely attended this kind of banquet, which isn’t related to business relations, and it is basically to compete with one another.
This time, Liu Yue decided to take Su Rui with her.
Firstly, Mrs Su wanted to show off her daughter by bringing her daughter out.
However, the main reason is that there are usually many youngsters attending this kind of banquet. Her daughter has just returned from the United States. She can take this opportunity to meet some youngsters of the same age.
After Su Rui’s return, even though Su Rui has been accompanying her to interests classes and shopping which remedied the lack of their mother and daughter relationship in the past three years.
But, Su Rui either accompanied her or stayed at home to study. Liu Yue was worried that her daughter would suffocate at home.
If Su Rui knows the concerns of Madam Liu Yue, she would say, “Mum, you are worrying too much.”
After lying in the hospital bed for three years, Su Rui learned to be patient.
Now, she can freely do whatever she wants. It is very good.
Anyways, for her to stay at home, isn’t just to make up for the missed lessons?
To avoid being an underachiever[2] that is unable to make friends after school begins, Su Rui felt that it was necessary to strive to improve her grades to at least an average.
As for the charity banquet that Mother Su has mentioned.
Su Rui had only seen it when she was scrolling through Weibo and gossip news in her last life.
Someone’s plastic surgery has failed again. Someone uses his/her ability to stand out from the crowd again. Someone stole the C position[3] again. Someone offended the stylist again.
Even though Liu Yue said that the banquet should be in the circle of wealthy businesses, it should be almost the same.
“Mum, what time does the banquet begin?”
“6 o’clock, but we will reach there at about 5 o’clock.” said Liu Yue with a smile. She added, “There are also a lot of things that need to be done, such as makeup and trying on dresses.”
As she said, Liu Yue suddenly blinked at Su Rui. She mysteriously smiled and said, “Mum has prepared a beautiful dress for you which will be delivered tomorrow morning.”
Mrs Su looked at her daughter in front of her who has already grown into a beautiful and charming lady. Her eyes were gleaming. In her mind, she has begun to imagine Rui Rui’s stunning appearance after dressing up.
There was a flash of pride in her eyes.
