Chapter 522: Chapter 513: New Assistant Fang Yao

After signing the contract and returning to the office, Jiang Lingxi watched as Tong Yue closed the door and even locked it.

Then she walked over to a small safe behind the desk, which was used to store some borrowed valuable items, entered the password, and finally, in a manner full of reverence, took out a thin... invitation.

Jiang Lingxi: "..." She took it and opened it for a glance, "Carlo’s invitation card."

Tong Yue nodded and exaggeratedly breathed a sigh of relief, "I’ve been keeping it safe for you all these days. Finally, it’s back to its rightful owner."

After looking at it, Jiang Lingxi casually handed it back to her, "I think it’s safer with you."

Just as Tong Yue was about to take it, there was a knock on the office door.

Tong Yue hurriedly went to open the door, and Jiang Lingxi put the invitation card down on the desk.

There were quite a few people standing outside the door, led by someone they had just seen earlier.

The secretary from Shao Yifeng’s office.

Started by explaining their purpose, "Mr. Shao found out that Teacher Jiang’s current team only has Sister Tong and an assistant, and thought this setup was too simple. He’s planning to allocate another assistant for Teacher Jiang, as well as a styling team and a PR team dedicated to her."

Then she pointed to a few young men and women standing behind her, "They are assistants not yet assigned to celebrities, Teacher Jiang can pick one first. The styling and PR teams need temporary arrangement and will be in place by tomorrow."

Tong Yue felt thoroughly refreshed and invigorated after hearing this.

She had been considering whether to talk to Mr. Shao about getting another assistant, as her own celebrity would undoubtedly be busier than before. Just relying on Lu Zhengzheng might not be enough.

As for the exclusive styling and PR teams, those are meant for top-tier celebrities; she hadn’t even dared to dream of it.

Unexpectedly, the dream came true so quickly.

"Come in, come in and talk."

Jiang Lingxi stood behind Tong Yue, looking at the people Secretary Yu brought.

They all seemed young, and had a common trait of eagerness in their expressions.

Secretary Yu asked them to introduce themselves, and as soon as she finished speaking, three of them almost simultaneously stepped forward.

Tong Yue watched this scene and squinted her eyes in laughter.

Even if it’s just to be a celebrity assistant, they all have big ambitions.

Everyone wants to follow a celebrity who is either already a big hit or destined to be one, even as an assistant, they can rise along with them.

She had even heard of someone who, after obtaining a manager’s license, opted to be just an ordinary assistant in a hit celebrity’s team to reach higher circles and connections in the industry.

"Xixi, the assistant will be by your side from now on, you choose who."

Facing six pairs of eyes that seemed to be saying ’Pick me,’ Jiang Lingxi inexplicably felt like she was choosing a consort.

She didn’t actually like having too many people around, in her previous life it was only Qing Yuan who was close to her, other palace maids would only appear upon her orders.

She didn’t speak for a while, and the eager gazes turned even more anxious.

"Fang Yao."

The girl standing almost pressed against the wall in the back suddenly heard her name and instinctively looked up. Her chubby face had eyes wide with shock. Even when meeting Jiang Lingxi’s gaze, she still couldn’t quite believe it and pointed at herself, "Me, is it me?"

Jiang Lingxi nodded at her.

Fang Yao suddenly received the gaze of the five people in front and instinctively shrank her shoulders, but quickly remembered that Teacher Jiang was still watching her, so she pursed her lips and tried to lift her head high. She mustn’t show timidity!

Even Tong Yue and Secretary Yu were a bit surprised.

Not that the choice was bad, since being brought here meant they had already been screened through a selection process.

But this Fang Yao, compared to the other five, was sort of at the bottom in various aspects.

The girl probably also knew she couldn’t compare to the other five, so she had knowingly stood at the end and even saved her introduction for last.

No one could immediately figure out why Jiang Lingxi chose this Fang Yao.

Secretary Yu’s gaze swept over Fang Yao’s chubby face with a slight double chin, and then at the somewhat unwilling expressions of the other five, before finally looking at Jiang Lingxi, "Teacher Jiang, are you sure you want to choose Fang Yao?"

"Yes, I’m sure."

"Then Fang Yao stays, the rest will follow me out. Teacher Jiang, Sister Tong, I’ll go back and report this now." With that, she left with the other five people.

Although Tong Yue was surprised by her own celebrity’s choice of a new assistant, she had previously stated she’d let Jiang Lingxi choose by herself, so she said nothing. She efficiently sent Secretary Yu and the other five out, then looked at Fang Yao, who had taken a few steps forward from the wall but still seemed quite at a loss.

"Fang Yao, right? Since Xixi has chosen you as her assistant, we are a team from now on, sharing the same honors and disgrace. Just call me Sister Tong."

Fang Yao nodded obediently, "Sister Tong." Then she instinctively looked at Jiang Lingxi, "Sisi Sister, I’ve heard Zhengzheng call you this."

Tong Yue noticed she wasn’t as introverted as she initially appeared, which satisfied her, "Zhengzheng went to Liangchuan with Xixi to shoot a drama, I gave her a few days off when they came back, she’ll return tomorrow. So, you go to HR now, change your department to my office, and bring your personal items over, just place them at Zheng’s desk since you’ll both be out of the office most of the time."

Once Fang Yao responded and went to work, Tong Yue asked Jiang Lingxi, "I want to know why you chose Fang Yao? Clearly, there are better candidates."

"She’s pleasant to look at, soft and adorable." Jiang Lingxi sat on the sofa and flipped through a script on the small coffee table next to her, "My assistant doesn’t need to be very competent, but her personality and looks must please me."

Tong Yue: "..." She was speechless for a moment, biting her tongue she muttered, "Are you choosing a consort here?"

"Sort of."

Tong Yue: "..." She was completely at a loss for words.

"Ahem, let’s discuss business. There’s only half a month left until the international fashion event, during this period I won’t schedule any extra work for you. I noticed your skin is a bit dry from being in the desert, so start with a skincare treatment and then rest for two days. Also, Shanyue Zhiheng recently contacted me about shooting an endorsement photo; we’ll see if there’s time for that after the treatment. Remember to arrive two or three days early to adjust to the time zone. Do you have any personal plans?"

"Going home for a visit, grabbing a meal with An’an."

"Alright, I’ll free up two extra days for you." Tong Yue agreed without hesitation, "Also, what about the rumor of your love affair trending, do you plan to just let it cool down naturally? If you’re meeting Mr. Shen anytime soon, be careful, there are way more eyes on you now. I can guarantee there are people outside our company looking to make you a topic."

"That was just an accident," Jiang Lingxi explained briefly to Tong Yue, "If they can actually gather evidence now, they deserve it."

Counter-surveillance, she’s a professional at that.
