Chapter 272: Assistant Han’s Vigilance
After sitting in the headhunting company’s small meeting room and waiting for a few minutes, when Shen Yexi saw the young man who walked in and heard the introduction that this person was the potential employer Mr. Wang, he couldn’t help but be shocked.
This Boss Wang, no matter how you look at it, seemed like just a university student around twenty years old, right?
And Wang Heng was also shocked: “I remember I said, as long as it’s a male.”
Shen Yexi couldn’t help but speak up: “Mr. Wang, I am indeed male.”
Hearing this, Wang Heng carefully sized him up.
As a male, his hair was quite long, covering his ears, but not messy at all, neatly and meticulously groomed. The features under his bangs were even more delicate; although he hadn’t applied eyeliner or eyeshadow, with Wang Heng’s experience, he could immediately tell that this guy had put on foundation.
From his appearance, no matter how you looked, he didn’t seem like a male at all. Moreover, the clothes this guy was wearing were rather androgynous in style, or rather, even a male shirt and trousers would look a bit feminine on such a slender frame.
But listening to his voice, there was no doubt he was male.
Wang Heng sat down in front of him and said, “That’s good then, let’s chat.”
Shen Yexi immediately perked up. Then, he heard a somewhat troublesome question.
“What is your understanding of company operations?”
“……What type of company are you referring to?”
“For example, suppose I have a large sum of money and want to do angel investment, and also hire programmers to handle some technical matters. So, what kind of company should I establish?”
Hearing Wang Heng say this, Shen Yexi immediately understood—turns out this Boss Wang was a rich second-generation heir, the type whose family gave him money to squander. Otherwise, how could he have earned a large sum but not even know how to start a company?
Shen Yexi pondered for a few seconds, then began to speak eloquently: “Venture capital companies have strict requirements, but if you don’t plan to raise funds from society and just use your own funds for small-scale investments, registering a technology company would also work…”

After more than half an hour of exchange, Wang Heng felt very satisfied.
In the past few days, he had interviewed five candidates already, and Shen Yexi was the sixth. All these interviewees had good eloquence, but Shen Yexi was the one who explained things most clearly and plainly. Being able to explain profound things in simple terms was enough to show that this person had comprehensive knowledge of every aspect.
At the end of the chat, Wang Heng glanced at Shen Yexi’s resume again. In the expected salary section, it was filled with an annual salary of four hundred thousand. Considering the opportunities right in front of him, this level of salary didn’t seem expensive to Wang Heng. Looking again at the work history, the experience of reaching presidential assistant at a large financial enterprise was undoubtedly impressive.
“One last question,” Wang Heng finally couldn’t help but ask, “May I ask why you left your previous job?”
Shen Yexi suddenly lowered his eyelids and said wistfully: “Because of a personal emotional issue.”
Wang Heng frowned: “Personal emotional?”
Shen Yexi: “The previous female president… had some improper thoughts about me.”
Hearing him say this, Wang Heng immediately felt deep respect. Look, both had encountered the clutches of a female boss; he himself had fallen to the point of a cleaver, but this guy could keep himself clean—what did that mean?
This was a talented person with principles and upbringing!
Wang Heng looked down at the resume again, confirmed there were no issues, and extended his hand: “Then congratulations, you’ve passed here.”
Shen Yexi hurriedly shook his hand and smiled, saying: “Then I’ll call you President Wang from now on?”
Wang Heng: “Good, then the matter of establishing the company next will trouble you.”
Shen Yexi couldn’t help but be stunned: “The company hasn’t been established yet?”
Wang Heng: “That’s why I’m troubling you. Get the company set up sooner, so I can start paying you salary earlier.”
Shen Yexi: “……Are you free today? Can you bring your identification and come with me?”
Wang Heng: “Of course, no problem.”

In the following days, Wang Heng and Shen Yexi not only completed the company registration but also secured an office space, renting two rooms in a small office building in Rongdu City as the office.
The decency of this office was probably about the same as the current yet-to-take-off fof, both old building small rooms. Fortunately, this side was a bit tidier, and plus Rongdu’s land price was much lower than Imperial Capital’s, so less than ten thousand per month, even lower than Shen Yexi’s salary.
“Within a year, we’ll definitely move to a bigger office. This one is just transitional…” Wang Heng was halfway through painting the pie when a WeChat notification sound rang.
Taking out his mobile phone to check, it was a message from Han Yixuan: 【I’ve arrived, then how do I get there?】
Putting away his mobile phone, Wang Heng called out: “Come downstairs with me to pick up someone, your new colleague.”
Shen Yexi suddenly felt some expectation: “Is it an elite in the investment field, or a big shot in the technology field?”
Wang Heng: “Neither, it’s a Finance University student.”
Shen Yexi had to lower his expectations: “A graduate student here for internship, then…”
Wang Heng still shook his head: “Undergraduate student, going into second year after summer vacation.”
Shen Yexi: “…”
The newly appointed presidential assistant was thoroughly speechless. But soon, he adjusted his emotions.
Get paid for the work done; since Boss Wang hadn’t shortchanged him on salary, he would just do his job dutifully. So what if the rich second-generation’s number two employee was a connected person? Get along well, as long as it doesn’t interfere with proper business.
A few minutes later, when Shen Yexi followed Wang Heng downstairs and saw that pretty little girl, he felt he had to lower his expectations further… no, just pull the expectations to the minimum.
Han Yixuan had tried her best to dress more mature today, but despite the combination of shirt, midi skirt, and high heels, she still looked more like a student than a workplace beauty. After all, her age was limited, making it really hard to pass as a workplace elite.
In Shen Yexi’s view, this yellow-haired girl not even twenty years old should be holding her boyfriend’s hand shopping and acting coquettish on the street, not sitting in an office handling million-level investment business. Clearly, this was no longer just a connected person; President Wang was simply using the company as a golden house to hide his beauty!
Wang Heng introduced: “Shen Yexi, Han Yixuan. You two are both presidential assistants, but with some differences in division of labor. For now, Assistant Shen mainly handles the company’s various practical matters, Assistant Han, you’ll follow and learn first. Any issues?”
Han Yixuan nodded solemnly: “I understand, no problem.”
At the same time, he noticed that Assistant Han in front of him glanced at him, with a hint of… vigilance in her gaze?
What was this about?
“I have no problem.”
Just as Shen Yexi finished speaking, he noticed Han Yixuan looking at him in surprise, as if breathing a sigh of relief.
What was this about again?
