Chapter 280 Resurrection
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, she said:
"Xiao Liu, you don't know, 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. If she's willing to offer us such a high salary, it must be because we deserve it."
Xu Fang said these words because of 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 worried several times that her company would go bankrupt because she was slacking off too much.
"Sister Xu, can you tell me the truth? Does the boss have so much work to do right now?" Liu Xiangyi asked.
Xu Fang was speechless. Last year, she accompanied Xu Youyou on various trips abroad, and this year she spent most of her time in China. She didn't seem like Xu Youyou's all-round assistant, but more like just a driver. She got a super high salary after only working as a driver for a year. Xu Fang actually felt a little guilty when she thought about it.
She gathered herself, feeling that she couldn't be led astray by Liu Xiangyi, and said, "When Miss Xu needs you, you must immediately step up. 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 at home with a rich collection of books. She always encourages us subordinates to read more and study more. You'll see when you go there."
Liu Xiangyi nodded, not quite understanding.
It was Liu Xiangyi's first time to visit Xu Youyou's house. Like everyone else who visited Xu Youyou's house for the first time, she almost forced herself not to show too much surprise at the huge and luxurious house. Although she felt that her eyes were not enough, she didn't dare to look any more.
Xu Youyou looked at Liu Xiangyi's reserved look, feeling 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 very good. It has a separate bedroom and a living room, with complete kitchen and bathroom facilities. If I rent a house like this by myself, it would cost 7,000 to 8,000 yuan a month. I definitely can't bear it."
The house that the company rented for Liu Xiangyi has 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's one thing I have to tell you. We're making some adjustments to your work now. To make it more convenient for you to go to work, you might be asked to move here."
When Liu Xiangyi heard this, her mouth dropped open: "Me? I live with the boss?"
Xu Youyou said, "Your job is still your 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're available during working hours. Outside of working hours, I don't make any demands on you. I'm just a little worried. Will you feel uncomfortable living in a different place?"
Xu Youyou treated Liu Xiangyi with the same warmth 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 her.
Liu Xiangyi has always worked an eight-hour workday from nine to five, with weekends off. Including the two-hour break at noon, he actually works only 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 where she was daydreaming.
She thought for a moment and said, "Boss, I'd like to move to a new place, a house I wouldn't even dream of. I really have no objection...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 thought 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 quickly thought of her words and said with a smile, "Xiao Liu, I'm planning to write a book on porcelain identification. I've already finalized the outline, but I need an assistant to help me compile the detailed information and references. I think you're up to the task."
This was the first time Liu Xiangyi had heard such specific and clear job descriptions in the year she had been working for Xu Youyou. She immediately perked up: "Boss, although I've never done this kind of work before, since you've given me the order, 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 now. 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 some 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 didn't expect this result. Star Diamond had already collapsed, but she didn't expect that the Gu family, a small fry, could survive tenaciously.
"Hongcheng Capital? Have you found out where it comes from?" Xu Youyou asked.
Xu Fang shook his head and said, "This Gangcheng force is very mysterious. After searching for a long time, I could only find one name. I vaguely know that this person is from Gangcheng, but I asked people in Gangcheng to help investigate, but they 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, and the third is a painter. Only Gu Xueying, with the title of socialite, works in several charitable foundations.
"Everyone else seems to be no different from usual. Only Gu Yuji has become very famous in the past year. He has held several exhibitions in Europe, and his paintings are highly sought after by celebrities both at home and abroad."
