Arc 2: My Heart Beats Only For You
Part 2: Just hiding one's brilliance.
Shang Ke was full of energy as he stood in front of a mirror, light colored shirt with a black suit, without a tie, looking leisurely and yet stable. Jiang Yumo's appearance was 80 to 90% similar to Shang Ke and their statures only differ slightly. It's just that Jiang Yumo's features were more exquisite while Shang Ke looked more mature.
Today was the first day he is reporting for work at Jian Chenfeng's, so Shang Ke's spirits were on guard. Prior, he had specially gathered information on Jian Chenfeng. At eighteen, he was participating in company affairs, at twenty-three, he had started to formally take over simpler responsibilities, and within five years he had increased the company's profits by 70%, showcasing his astonishing talent in the business. His conduct is mature, steady, strict, firm, shrewd, competent...in short, he was wonderful in all areas and a eligible bachelor within the circle.
Logically speaking, such a person would have many beautiful women surrounding him in droves, but until now there were zero scandals. His love life is just like a monk who led an ascetic life. Of course, there was also the possibility that he did a good job at keeping things confidential.
However, Shang Ke's first formal meeting with the rumored perfect man wasn't wonderful.
"Jiang Yumo, since you will be interning at my company, do kindly lay down your arrogance as a young master, do your job properly. I will not give you any preferential treatment. If I discover you slacking off or trying to evade work, then you will scram out of here immediately." Jian Chenfeng used a sharp gaze to size him up from head to toe. "You will first undertake the job of being my assistant. Secretary Cui will tell you what you need to do. Start learning from the simple stuff, and if you have any questions, ask him. Alright, you can leave."
Shang Ke did not have the chance to rebuke a single word before he was shown the way out. Jian Chenfeng's eyes and tone had been full of disdain, as if he working at his company was a stain to the company's image.
Shang Ke took a deep breath, calming himself as much as possible. Jian Chenfeng acted like this to him because he was wooing his younger sister. It was only natural that Jian Chenfeng would be a nitpicking at him. He should show that he is understanding.
When Secretary Cui saw that Shang Ke didn't get angry, and felt rather amazed. Rumor has it that this young master's temper wasn't too good, but even in the face of such berating he had actually endured it. He really causes people to give a whole new level of respect for him. Secretary Cui originally thought the other would sulk and leave, and Director Jian was probably planning on that as well...
Secretary Cui arranged an office desk for Shang Ke before handing him a pile of documents, telling him, "For today, you can organize this material first, in order to understand the situation better."
