Xu Xincheng felt that he should talk about work at this moment, and as a subordinate, he felt that he should take the initiative and be more active, so he asked: "Lucy, may I take this opportunity to ask you a question about my work?"

"Absolutely. ”

"I heard Amanda say this morning that you've never hired an assistant before. ”

"Yes, not yet. You are the first assistant I have hired in years. ”

When Amanda told him about it in the morning, he couldn't believe it 100% because it was a bit counterintuitive, and now it was confirmed by Lucy himself, and he believed it.

He asked in surprise, "Is this ...... You run multiple companies at the same time, and your work is so busy and stressful, why don't you ask an assistant to share some of the workload and work pressure for you?"

"I had very high requirements for my assistants and I couldn't find the right person before. ”

"Oh!" Xu Xincheng was taken aback, he immediately understood the meaning of Lucy's words, and he said, "Then I ......"

"You want to know why I invited you, don't you?"

"Uh...... , yes, if it is convenient to inform. ”

Lucy smiled slightly and said, "My first request for an assistant is to be worthy of my trust, and you, I think, are completely worthy of my trust." ”

Hearing this, Xu Xincheng suddenly felt his tears surging into his eyes, if it weren't for his strong self-control to control himself in time, to control the suddenly moved emotions, and to control the tears that swirled in his eyes, his tears would definitely burst out of his eyes.

He felt a burst of warmth in his heart, and this warmth quickly spread to every cell in his body, and at the same time, from the warm heart, a strong sense of responsibility swelled, and this sense of responsibility turned into a powerful force in an instant, and this power quickly spread to every cell in his body immediately after that warmth.

This warmth and strength turned into the most serious, serious and sincere words in his life: "Lucy, I will definitely live up to your trust in me!!"

He said this sentence word by word.

However, he felt that what he had just said was not enough, so he immediately added: "Lucy, I am a very committed person, and I will use my life to fulfill this promise!!

Lucy smiled, looked at him, nodded appreciatively, and said, "Steve, after this period of communication and contact with you, I have learned a lot about you, you are a capable, responsible, responsible person, and most importantly, you are a person worthy of my complete trust. I am very happy that you have decided to accept my invitation to become my assistant. ”

Xu Xincheng felt a great touch again, and he said gratefully: "Lucy, it should be said that I am the one who is happy. I thank you very much, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me, a great leap forward in my career. ”

"Steve, as I said before, you're going to have a lot more work and pressure than before, are you ready?"

He remembers that two weeks ago, when Lucy asked him this question after he was invited, he immediately made an estimate that the workload would be one or two times as much as before, and that the work pressure would be at least three or four times as high, and he immediately made a judgment that he could handle the increased workload and pressure.

However, it is clear that his prediction at that time was completely wrong, and now it seems that the workload will be at least three or four times the original, and the work pressure will be ten, twenty, or even more than the original.

If Lucy had asked him this question in the morning meeting, he would have been completely overwhelmed by the sheer pressure of the build-up, and he would have been able to say "not at all prepared."

However, the warmth and the strength just now were still surging in his heart and body, they injected great strength into his confidence and will, and injected great strength into his shoulders and waist, and at this moment he felt that he had enough strength to bear the tremendous pressure that had increased, and at this moment he believed in himself, and believed that he would be able to bear all the pressure.

Xu Xincheng took a deep breath, straightened his waist, straightened his shoulders, and said firmly: "Ready! No matter how much work and pressure there is next, I will definitely go all out, I will definitely complete every job, I will definitely be able to bear all the pressure, and I will definitely be able to do a good job." ”

Lucy smiled and nodded, still with that serenity on her face. He found that Lucy would be in a state of solemnity at work, in meetings, but as soon as she stopped, she would immediately return to this quiet and leisurely state.

It occurred to him that "compared to me, the pressure on Lucy's shoulders is at least ten, twenty, or more than mine." Oh my God, my stress is nothing compared to her. ”

Thinking of this, a question arose in his mind: "However, under such tremendous pressure, she can always be in a quiet and leisurely state, how did she do it? This is another mystery that I don't know the answer to." ”

At this time, he really wanted to know more about Lucy, really hoped to solve some mysteries, even if it was only one or two, he hesitated, thought about it very seriously, and finally, he decided to try, he said softly: "Lucy, I have a doubt in my heart, there is a question, I think, in order to work better in the future, I need to ask you." Of course, if you find it inconvenient, you don't have to answer. ”

"Excuse me. Lucy said without hesitation.

I didn't expect Lucy to agree so easily, which surprised him, he "uh" for a while, pondered in his heart for a while, he felt that he couldn't ask too directly, he needed to be as tactful as possible, so, he said: "I believe that this question is what everyone wants to know the answer to, you can think of me as a reporter who is interviewing you."

My question is, you already run a number of top companies at the same time, it's not easy, and you've already achieved a lot of things, may I ask, why did you decide to start Sino-American Xinfei? This company will increase your workload and work pressure more than three or two times as much. ”

Lucy smiled softly and said, "Steve, you don't have to ask so tactfully. ”

Suddenly she saw through her little tricks, Xu Xincheng suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and in desperation, he could only smile lightly.

Lucy turned her head to look at the night sky outside the window, thought for a moment, and then looked back, as if she had made a decision, the expression on her face changed from the original quiet and leisurely to solemn, and she said, "Let's go back to my office, let's go there and continue to talk." ”

"Oh! Okay. I'll pay for it first, please wait. ”

He quickly drank the remaining orange juice from his glass, went to the counter and paid with the credit card, then returned to the table, respectfully beckoned Lucy to get up, and the two of them left the café together.
