Our Glamorous Time( A Vsoo adaptation novel by Ding Mo)

Chapter 9(One Morning)

To be a good assistant, you needed to know your boss well, and you needed to know him better than anyone else did.

Having been working in the business world for years, Namjoon understood this even better than Jisoo. So when Jisoo went home that night, she had a new email from her brother.

The email had all of Mr Kim’s personal information. His experience was simple and was all listed with just a few lines.

He was the second son of Lee Hyukjun, Layover’s Chairman of the Board, and the youngest grandson of an army commander in the Southwest Military Region. It suddenly seemed obvious.

He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. No wonder he joined the army. Having a career in business might not have originally been what he wanted to do.

He had a brilliant record within his first few years. At his university, he won awards like “Best Military Performance” and “Leadership Award in Global University Student Military Forum.” After joining the army, he won more awards, like “Third-Class Personal Merit,””Second-Class Group Merit,” and “Outstanding Contribution Award in Falcon Confrontation Action,” etc.

There was also some trivial information about him in the email. Jisoo wondered how Namjoon had even gotten it.

For instance, he had given out financial aid to a number of out of school children using his own military salary but had refused to ever meet the children in person. That reminded Jisoo of the episode they had on the train. He had lent her his bunk to sleep in, but had refused to exchange a few words with her. How much does he hate talking to other people? He’s so strange!

Another piece of information was that he didn’t have a girlfriend and seemed to have never had one. That surprised Jisoo. He’s already a 25-year-old man! The military life really must be abstinent and dull.

On her way to work the next day, Jisoo was still thinking about the new information. He’s single. It’s great that I won’t have to take care of his possibly complicated private life like some assistants and secretaries do. He doesn’t have a secretary, which is something that I have to consider. I should ask HR to recruit him a secretary. Someone smart and competent, but not so smart and ambitious as to threaten my own value in the future.

Dawn had just broken when Jisoo arrived at the office.

She’d come that early on purpose. An assistant should, of course, show up before her boss. As a veteran, Mr Kim must have a habit of getting up early. Who knows what weird time he might show up.

The day before, soon after their meeting, she received notification of her nomination as CEO Assistant from the HR department. Jisoo quickly packed and moved her stuff to the cubicle outside of the CEO office on the top floor. Though hating to part with her, the two girls, Lia and Yuqi, were jealous of her as well. But according to the message from HR, her position was still within the CEO Office, so the two girls would still be under her guidance for the time being.

Opening the office door softly, Jisoo found the room dark and empty. It seemed like no one was inside.

Jisoo turned on the light.

Left by the former CEO, the office had been furnished elegantly and luxuriously, with bright lighting. Now that it had its new owner, the tall black bookcase had been nearly emptied. The file cabinet next to it was empty too. The spacious room looked vacant.

Some newspapers were scattered on the desk. Jisoo tidied them up, and put the chair neatly back behind the desk. She then got some good tea out of the tea cabinet and started looking for cups.

Hmm, where are the cups? When I came in yesterday, I thought I’d seen one on the desk. Oh wait, that was actually just a huge green military thermos. Well, it isn’t there now.
