After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 925 - 494: Personal Assistant

The tea table by the window emitted a faint scent of tea; tilting one's head revealed the bustling streets outside. The slanting western sun shone on the plane tree leaves by the road, with the gentle breeze scattering vibrant green all around.

"Thank you for your advice. But I've gotten used to being alone, and suddenly bringing someone else into my life might not suit me. Besides, we women are different from you men; we generally don't just pursue pleasure. Only when the feelings between two people are genuine does anything naturally happen. At least, that's how it is for me."

Liu Meijun's words were sincere, and she was candid with Chen Feng about her views on relationships. Their relationship was such that it was natural for them to be open with each other. After all, their connection was strong, their status was equal, they collaborated happily, and they didn't have to hide anything from each other or be hypocritical.

Most importantly, Chen Feng had always been honest with her, and he had helped her significantly during the company's restructuring. In this mutual exchange of favors, Liu Meijun felt little psychological defense toward him.

"You seem to be holding onto traditional, old-fashioned female viewpoints. Many Western-influenced, new female ideologies are not like this. The new woman of today seeks freedom, independence, and liberation. What men enjoy, they want too; what men don't have, they aim to acquire. In all aspects, they want to surpass men.

In terms of male-female relationships, this manifests as chaotic private lives, promiscuity, simultaneously dating several men and treating them like ATMs. Some wealthy women even mimic the behavior of rich men by keeping a few 'boy toys' on the side. Such women are admired and emulated by many so-called modern-day females."

Liu Meijun couldn't help but laugh after hearing Chen Feng: "It seems you have some issues with us women."

Chen Feng corrected her: "I have issues with these so-called modern women."

Liu Meijun shook her head: "You're being extreme. I believe most women are still quite conservative, especially regarding relationships. After all, we women have a lot to lose in these matters. If we accidentally get pregnant, it's devastating both physically and mentally for us. So most women won't just have affairs."

Chen Feng, hearing this, thought it was inappropriate to argue further.

After all, they had come to the teahouse to chat leisurely, not to argue or incite any gender battles.

"Maybe." Chen Feng responded noncommittally, then changed the topic to other matters.

They chatted in the teahouse for over two hours, only leaving when it was time for dinner.

Chen Feng declined Liu Meijun's invitation for dinner, and they went their separate ways.

Overall, the two got along well and shared similar views on many issues. Even when they disagreed, they wouldn't argue.

Both were relatively easygoing, especially when their interests aligned and there was no conflict; neither was aggressive.

They were somewhat content with the status quo, even complacent at times. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Of course, in terms of ambition, Liu Meijun was much stronger than him.

However, Liu Meijun said that her motivation to earn money was mainly for her daughter and because she wanted to keep herself busy after the divorce, preventing her mind from wandering.

Otherwise, her family's wealth was considerable, and she wasn't one to squander money. Even without working, she could ensure a comfortable life for her and her daughter.

Now, she worked hard to secure a prosperous future for her daughter, Qin Xiaorou.

As the saying goes, parents' love is universal.

When he got home, Sun and Wu hadn't eaten yet and were waiting for him.

The three had dinner together, and Sun Xiaorui volunteered to wash the dishes. Meanwhile, Wu Mengting and Chen Feng watched TV in the living room.

After a while, Wu Mengting asked, "What logistics information did you have Xinyan prepare?"

Chen Feng casually replied, "It's not for anything specific, just something to keep her busy."

Wu Mengting was momentarily taken aback before reacting with amusement: "If she knew all her effort went to waste, she'd be furious. I've seen her tirelessly working on it for days."

Chen Feng laughed: "Isn't it better this way? It's much better than her idling around and bothering me. Besides, although I don't find these materials particularly useful, I will look them over. To give a clear understanding of our company's logistics and employee housing. Otherwise, I wouldn't be a competent boss at all."

Wu Mengting gave him a slightly knowing look.

Chen Feng could sense her implied meaning and laughed: "Don't think I'm incompetent. I delegate authority to you and Sijia, recognizing your talents. Just like Emperor Gaozu of Han did."

"You're right." Wu Mengting nodded, somewhat perfunctorily.

Chen Feng, noticing her reaction, said a bit discontentedly, "Am I wrong?"

Wu Mengting said, "I think appointing Jin Xinyan as your personal assistant is inappropriate. She's a young lady with little work experience and social exposure. She doesn't understand much about your personal matters, so she can't do the job well."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng knew she was still displeased with Jin Xinyan taking over her role.

He had to explain once more: "As I mentioned before, my primary criteria for a personal assistant are trustworthiness and reliability, rather than capability."

"Do you really find her trustworthy?" Wu Mengting asked, giving him a sidelong glance.

Chen Feng countered, "Do you not find her trustworthy?"

Shaking her head, Wu Mengting replied, "I didn't say that. I just think she's not suitable for your assistant role. Instead of letting her do it, it would be better for Little Rui to take the position."

"Little Rui is doing well in the company and is technically my work assistant, so there's no need to make her my personal assistant too."

"You should consider finding someone more fitting. Jin Xinyan isn't the right choice."

Seeing her persistent disagreement, Chen Feng refrained from arguing further and said, "For now, let's see how Xinyan does. If she's truly unfit, we'll replace her later. There's no need to be upset."

"I'm not upset," Wu Mengting responded calmly.

Chen Feng, somewhat speechless, said, "Okay then, you're not upset."

They remained silent, each watching TV, lost in their own thoughts.

By the following afternoon, Chen Feng received the company logistics materials from Jin Xinyan. She had made a professional-looking PDF document, twenty-some pages long, almost like a thesis.

It was clear Jin Xinyan had poured much effort into this document.

Chen Feng felt a slight pang of guilt. However, he reminded himself that as the boss and a capitalist, he paid Xinyan a trial salary of twenty thousand a month. Having her create such a report was perfectly reasonable. A competent employer maximizes employee productivity without unnecessary compassion.
