Chapter 25 - Job

After reaching Xiao's Mansion:

Driver said "Miss, sir will be in his study room."

"Got it. Thank you for the ride." Replied Xiao Ming.

In study room:

"Dad, I am back." Said Xiao Ming in a loud voice as she entered the study room.

"Xiao Ming, have you seen the time? Where were you? What is your phone for? Did you even eat? Didn't I said we will eat together? Why did you embrass this old man in front of everyone?" As soon as Xiao Ming entered Xiao Can ranted in a breath.

Xiao Ming first let Xiao Can finish his series of questions before answering "Dad, I was in the library. I didn't even see the time or else I would have called you first" Without letting Xiao Ming finish, he ask "Did the library didn't have clock?"

Feeling that Xiao Can was really angry this time, she decided to use her one of the best tatics.a "Dad, I promise to never do it again. I will call you every time I will be late. Now don't be angry please."

Seeing the pout and crystal clear eyes of her daughter, Xiao Can just admit defeat.

With a sigh, he just said "Okay I will let you go this time, Now go in the kitchen, reheat the food and bring it here so we could eat together."

After hearing that he let go of the matter, Xiao Ming smiled but his next sentence really shocked her. "You didn't eat? That mean you didn't take your medication. Do you know how late it is? What were you planning to do?" Scolded Xiao Ming.

Knowing how much she hates when he didn't take care of his health. Xiao Can just yelled "First of all, you are late and now, you are scolding his old man. Tell me, who is at the fault?"

Xiao Ming just shake her head and went towards the kitchen to reheat the food. Seeing her shake her head before going out, Xiao Can just chuckled out of embarrassment.

After dinner:

Dad: "So, what happened to your interview? Did you get the job?"

Xiao Ming: "I don't know, I do not get a email or call."

Dad: "Brat, did you even check your email. Old friend said that the results were out today "

Xiao Ming: "Then I will check right now."

After checking and confirming the mail twice, Xiao Ming didn't know what to feel. But by taking so much time, Xiao Can run out of the patience.

Dad: "Brat, why are you taking that much time? Did you, by chance got rejected?"

Xiao Ming: "Dad, tell me the truth, you didn't do anything right. I told you I wanted to have this job by my own capability."

Dad: "Brat, do you think I would not keep my promises. I even told him (old friend) that you wanted to get the job by your own capability."

After glaring the suspicious glaze for more two seconds, Xiao Ming finally registered that she will go to the office starting this Monday.

"Dad, I really got the job"

Seeing his daughter big smile and twinkling eyes, happiness bubbles in his heart too.

"Now go and sleep early, considering that today is Friday and your first official day will start in Monday."

"Okay dad, you also sleep early."

Xiao Ming just had a bath and just as she lays on her bed, she falls asleep(with a smile, ofcourse

づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ)

However in study room Xiao Can was deep in thoughts:

'Xiao Ming is big now, wife. Are you seeing her? These days I can see a different type of maturity in her. I can now say that she is going to be an ȧduŀt soon. Will she forget us?...I still have some time left before I can accompany you. I should probably visit you soon wife.'

Imagining the gentle face, very similar to Xiao Ming. Xiao Can spend his night taking to his wife.

On Monday:

Today is the first day of Xiao Ming work as an executive ȧssistant.

She decided to wear her one of the business formal attire. She wear a pair of black trousers, a black blazer paired with a white buŧŧon down shirt. For shoes, she decided to wear flats. A bag in neutral colour and her hair in a classic bun with few strands to cover her face. For accessories, she wear a pair of pearl earrings.

In shine's office:

Feeling the nervesnes returning. Xiao Ming remembered her past life. Remembering her purpose of this life. She soon composed herself.

On reception:

Receptionist just ask for Xiao Ming name to confirm if she is on the list of employees. After confirming, receptionist gave her the name tag and told her to go at 5 floor. Seeing it was the lady's first day, she(receptionst) just smile and wish her good luck.

At 5 floor:

Xiao Ming was confused. There were many offices there. Xiao Ming didn't know if she should go to her office first or meet her executive, Sir Fu Chan. She decided to go to her office first. Seeing a lady walking out from one of the office. She quickly approaches her.

"Hello, I am the new executive ȧssistant here, do you know where is my office?" Asked Xiao Ming.

Seeing the clothes and the aura, the lady nod her head in her mind. She impressed her but Rose know that she still need to work hard to match with boss perfectionism.

"Hello, I am Rose and I am the former executive ȧssistant. I was just on my way to check your office if it was suitable for you. Boss told me to help you get settle since you are a beginner. "

Xiao Ming completely forgot to introduce herself. "My name is Xiao Ming." Out of embarrassment, she chuckled.

Seeing the poor girl red ears, Rose know that she must be very embarrassed. So she quickly changed the subject.

"So the first thing we have to do is to check out your office and make sure its your liking. Then, I will give you some lecture for you to be a good excuetive ȧssistant."

In the office:

Xiao Ming was impressed by the office. It was clean, simple and tidy, just how she like it.

"So what are the things you don't like here? I will change it by tomorrow." Asked Rose.

"It is just perfect." Replied Xiao Ming cheerfully. Seeing the smile on the girl face, Rose was in the awe of how cute she can look by smiling more.

"Okay, since you have no problem regarding your office, we will start your lesson. The first important thing is that you have your note pad, because this is going to be long." Rose said and waited for Xiao Ming to find the note pad. Seeing she found it, Rose continued "Boss like straightforward talk. You need boss permission before going in the boss office. Boss doesn't like black coffee. His coffee should always be a little sweet but not too much..."

Rose continued for hours before letting Xiao Ming go for the day.

At 9 p.m.

Xiao Ming routine for past 7 days was same. Wake up, have breakfast, dress yourself, go to the company, lecture from Rose for hours, come back home, bath, dinner with dad, review notes and finally sleep.

Seeing Xiao Ming working hard Xiao Can was worried for her health but knowing that this is how she will become more mȧturė, he didn't say a word.
