CHAPTER 351: CHAPTER 180: THE CHIEF STEWARD OF THE IMPERIAL HOUSEHOLD_3

"Oh."

Han Lie nodded and said with concern, "Be sure to manage your exercise volume and take your supplements as needed. I’m going out with Liang Wu to run errands, and I’ll come back to keep you company in the evening."

Xi Luting felt delighted. She stole a glance at Liang Wu and, seeing that Liang Wu showed no unusual reaction, felt even happier.

"Oh! What kind of errands are you running?"

Her smile was very sweet, diluting her usually cool temperament in an eye-catching way. But... That damn man actually didn’t appreciate it!

The first thing he said was a taunt, "You think you’d understand if I told you? Just go and work on your writing!"

Xi Luting was about to explode, but upon hearing "work on your writing," her heart suddenly pounded.

"Ah?"

She anxiously observed Han Lie’s expression. She saw that this jerk’s demeanor was completely normal and suddenly realized—Oh, he must be talking about the press release. Whew...

She let out a heavy sigh, not wanting to be around that damn man any longer.

Although nothing had actually happened, she still felt a bit panicky.

"I can’t be bothered with you! Fei Fei, let’s go!"

Watching her flip her ponytail and turn to leave, Fang Feifei was bewildered.

What’s going on? she wondered. Given Sister Ting’s short temper, this isn’t like her... Hmm, it seems Brother Lie is still more formidable...

After giving it some thought, Fang Feifei threw a flirty look at Han Lie, then scampered off after Xi Luting.

Now, she was completely unsure about who she liked anymore. Sister Ting is great, and so is Brother Lie. If only it were possible... SLURP! That would be so wonderful...

Liang Wu saw Fang Feifei’s flirty look but her expression remained unchanged. This girl was someone who could hide things well and shoulder responsibilities—a true find.

Han Lie escorted her to the school gate and, uncharacteristically, gave her a few extra words of advice.

"Learn well from Lawyer Liu, and don’t hesitate to ask if there’s anything you don’t understand. I’ll speak with him and ask him to guide you diligently. Before the company officially opens, you can work with him there.

As a personal assistant, the easiest things to accumulate are perspective and connections. Anyone can do the legwork, so don’t limit yourself to that.

I have high expectations for you, and you should have even higher ones for yourself. If you get a chance to meet Lü Shuli, you can discreetly ask her about salary expectations and report back to me with your desired figure. Aim for the upper limit of what your abilities warrant—I don’t overwork my soldiers without pay."

Liang Wu’s mood was exceptionally bright. She knew her earlier initiative had paid off. Look, she thought, the BOSS is starting to treat me as one of his own!

"Okay, thank you, President Han."

She smiled slightly, bowing with great respect, and didn’t mind being seen by anyone.

Han Lie put her in a cab and then hailed one for himself, heading straight for Fat Sheep Sister’s company.

On the way, thinking about Liang Wu put Han Lie in a very good mood. He tapped his fingers on his knee, almost humming a song.

Today’s potential dramatic scene was avoided, all thanks to her quick-wittedness. Judging by the qualities she displayed, she would be invaluable in similar, or even more complex, situations in the future.

Pan Ge, Xi Luting, Chen Yanfei, Ding Xiang... he mused. I can’t possibly balance them all on my own. But if I add a couple more firewalls... There’s great potential in this!

I don’t know how other people use their personal assistants, but mine must be a multifaceted talent able to shoulder responsibilities, take the heat, block the bullets, and navigate intricate conspiracies!

For an assistant like that, how much should her salary be? Han Lie decided that no matter how high her expectations were, he would make sure she experienced a damn pleasant surprise.

The new era’s steward was moving towards her destined future...

What’s this about a dramatic scene? So easy for you all to guess, huh~~~
