On Tuesday, Xu Xincheng got up early in the morning and arrived at 6:01 in the park near the community.

Every time he encounters an important day, he likes to start the day by running and exercising, and he wants to adjust his body to the best state to meet new beginnings and new challenges.

At 8:20, Xu Xincheng came to the downstairs of the New Century Building, and he looked up at the towering building, and his heart was full of emotion.

Five years ago, on the first Sunday after his freshman year, Zhou Dedao took him to Huacheng Square to play, and at that time, the building was still under construction. Zhou Dedao told him that the building will become a new landmark in Guangzhou, and will be the most upscale office building in Guangzhou and even in the whole of South China, and only the world's top companies can afford the astonishingly high rents here.

Five years ago, in his eyes, the skyscrapers around Huacheng Square were unclimbable mountains, and in this lofty mountain, the New Century Building was the highest peak here.

How could he have imagined five years ago that five years later he would climb this highest peak, and today, he would start working in this building, and today, he would start working in the office of New World Capital, which was indeed a "new world", a whole new world for him.

With emotion, Xu Xincheng walked into the building and came to the elevator on the first floor, and when the elevator door opened, he saw Amanda, who had come up from the parking lot on the second floor of the building.

He quickly greeted Amanda politely: "Hi, Amanda, good morning!"

"Hi, Steve, it's early!

It was still early, and there were only two of them in the elevator.

Amanda chatted with him, "Last Monday, Lucy told me about arranging for you to come here for work, your office was arranged last Thursday, and it has been waiting for you quietly there for a few days. ”

He hurriedly said gratefully, "Thank you very much!"

Leaning through the smooth, mirror-like stainless steel wall in the elevator, Xu Xincheng looked at Amanda.

The short black hair with slightly curly ears is refreshing and elegant, the water chestnut has a clear Shenzi-shaped face, dignified and generous, and the delicate facial features are upright and stretched, elegant and beautiful.

She was dressed in a black high-end professional suit, with a black leather briefcase in her right hand and a pair of black four-inch high heels on her feet. Every time I saw her, the professional suit on her body was dark colors, black, dark green, dark blue, dark purple, etc., and the silk shirt with the bottom was always white.

If there is a standard for the image of a strong woman in the workplace, then Amanda, who is excellent and capable, can definitely become one of the highest standards.

From the company's official information, from the exchanges and communications with her during this time, Xu Xincheng gradually got to know and know the strong woman in the workplace around Lucy.

Amanda is a native of Guangzhou, 37 years old, with a master's degree in international finance from Peking University, after graduation, she worked in an internationally renowned foreign bank for two years, and then went to the United States to study for an MBA, studying at the world-famous Harvard Business School in the United States, and worked in a well-known investment company in the United States for five years after graduation, from an ordinary employee to a senior director of the company.

She returned to China with her husband earlier the year before and was Lucy's first senior executive in China, starting as a senior senior director and being promoted to general manager a year later. Lucy spoke highly of her, saying that as long as she was asked to do something, she could execute and complete it very well.

Xu Xincheng admires Amanda, and at the same time, her extraordinary academic and professional background makes him feel a lot of pressure.

During this time, he often thought to himself that he was just an undergraduate student at an ordinary university in China, but now he became Lucy's assistant, and compared to Amanda, his qualifications and experience were really too shallow. In fact, his education and background are not even as good as Linda, who is just a front desk.

At this time, the elevator was rising at an extremely high speed, from the first floor to the 88th floor, and he felt a strong pressure on his body.

At this moment, standing in the elevator hall with Amanda, he also felt a great pressure psychologically.

The two pressures were superimposed, making him feel uncomfortable, both physically and psychologically.

He quickly took a few deep breaths and calmed down, and then, his powerful self-motivation mechanism worked reflexively, and he told himself: "As long as I work hard enough and work hard enough, as long as I pay attention to the way of doing things, as long as I continue to learn and improve, I will definitely be able to do this job, I will definitely not lose to those who have much better education and qualifications than me, and I will definitely not live up to Lucy's trust and high hopes for me." ”

When Xu Xincheng saw his office, he felt another pressure, which was caused by the huge space.

This office is next door to the chairman's office, with a full 150 square meters, which is the highest rent in Guangzhou, 150 square meters plus the flat common area, the rent here for a month is terrible!

The office is 5 meters high, 10 meters wide and 15 meters long. The north, west, and east walls are all double-glazed walls with white blinds built into the middle. This kind of double-glazed wall is very expensive and is used only on a small scale by ordinary companies, while most of New World Capital's offices use this kind of glass wall as a partition wall, which makes the whole office look brighter and more luxurious.

The north wall is 5 meters high and 10 meters wide, the door opens on the left, and the wall facing the door is a 5-meter-high and 10-meter-wide floor-to-ceiling glass window, through which you can see the Canton Tower not far away, and a 5-meter-long all-glass desk is placed in front of the window.

On the left side of the office, there is a row of fashionable high-end bookshelves and storage cabinets, with white and blue as the main colors, on the right side of the office, near the desk, there is a leisure area, in the leisure area, against the west wall, there is a set of high-end light blue leather sofas, and an all-glass coffee table is placed in the middle of the sofa combination, on the right, near the door, there is a set of white conference tables and chairs, which can be used by more than 30 people for meetings, and on the north wall, there is a double-sided large whiteboard with a length of 2.4 meters and a width of 1.2 meters.

Amanda said, "Steve, after 9 o'clock at work, Jeremy from the Administration Department will come here and work with you to set up the fingerprint and facial recognition lock on the glass door, and there is a big safe hidden in the locker, and he will also set up its fingerprint and voice-activated code with you. ”

"Okay. Thank you!"

"I still have to go and get ready for this morning's meeting, and we'll see you later. ”

"Yes, thank you very much, please, is there anything you can help with?"

"No, I don't. You can go around the rest of the company and get acquainted with the environment. ”

"Okay! I'll see you later!"

Amanda turned to leave, and as she was about to walk to the office door, Xu Xincheng felt that he should ask the question he had wanted to ask since he was appointed assistant to the chairman: "Amanda, I have a question about my work. ”

She stopped, turned around, and said, "Excuse me." ”

"Uh...... "His original question was not this, he actually wanted to ask Lucy who his previous assistant was and what it was, only in this way can he know how big the gap is with his former assistant, and how to make up for it. But when that question was about to be asked, he suddenly felt that it was a bit abrupt to ask it directly, so he made a change and asked the question.

"No, it used to be a conference room. Amanda paused, smiled softly, and said, "Steve, I know the question behind your question, so I'll answer it by the way." Although Lucy runs several companies at the same time, she has never hired an assistant. ”

With that, she turned and left the office, leaving him alone in a daze.
