Yibo had promised Yanli to begin his internship at the start of the new semester where he had the flexibility to cram his classes to two days a week. The students in senior year had the flexibility of such options. It made much more sense since he could come to work on more days with longer hours.

Since this was a paid internship, Yibo gladly quitted his other odd jobs and thankfully this one gave him much better pay.

It was Tuesday 8:00AM

The office building stood in the crowded side of the city.

Yibo entered the new workplace, slowly taking in the scene in front of him. The interior was pretty standard for a fancy office with the essential office elements present namely the reception desk, a semi transparent wall separating the waiting area from the actual warzone, a waiting area by the side of the entrance and a magazine rack stacked neatly with the latest issue of business publications. A pleasant looking receptionist greeted him with her mechanical smile then kindly led him to the waiting area while she made some calls on the intercom verifying Yibo's appoinment.

Soon, she left her cubicle and motioned for him to follow her inside. Rows of workers' desks could be seen laid out in cubicle like fashion. The room inside of the wall were a bustling marketplace packed with office workers donned in suits busying themselves with either paperwork or their electronic devices. No one paid any attention to Yibo strutting by across the room.

The secretary stopped in front of a room at the end of the corridor. He glanced at the placard that read "Xiaozhan" at the door.

The door swung open revealing spacious room. A generous view of the city sprawled before him majestically framed by a floor to ceiling window. A wooden table sat in front of the wall on another side. Behind it, a wall of cabinetry lined with rows of books and files. Across the desk were a set of modern looking sofas lined with squishy looking cushions giving the room a more homely feel. 

Soon, a guy who looked about Zhange's age entered the room

Soon, a guy who looked about Zhange's age entered the room. He reached his hand and introduced himself.

"Hi, you must be Wangyibo. I'm Jiangcheng. I'm the marketing and also human resource director. Yanli especially recommended you. I helped you get in but now you must work hard to keep your position here. If you do well for this internship, you will automatically be offered full time job upon your graduation."

"Here is information about our company. You can read them while waiting for Xiaozhan. Good luck and my office is next door anytime you need help." The guy smiled and gave him a stack of documents to read.

"Thanks. Then I'll be troubling you." Yibo said.

Meanwhile somewhere across downtown, Xiaozhan had just finished his meeting with a client. His phone vibrated in his pants pocket as he stumbled to pick it up. It was Yanli.

"Hey sis whatsup?"

"Hi ge.. I've got great news for you!! I've found you an assistant."

"A what?"
