891: Selecting An Assistant...

Selecting An Assistant...

Lu Lian and Ming Rusheng entered the office. Lu Lian looked around, and she liked the way her office was designed. It looked professional, designed in European style, and used more different kinds of geometric shapes that showed it belonged to one architect. 0

The interiors resembled Ming Rusheng's office but had a bit feminine touch with the few wall pieces and showpieces kept in the room, and the furniture was in a delicate design, instead of robust looking. 

"Grandpa planned this," Ming Rusheng informed before she could think it was him who designed it, similar to his office. 

"It's nice," she said as it was the truth. 

Even if Ming Rusheng had planned it, she wouldn't have said anything as everything was so perfect, and she could only praise it. 

"You can go now," she said, not willing to let him stay for long and went to her work table.

Ming Rusheng could see the cold vibes from her and could sense she didn't like him as he thought, 'As if I care.'

He stepped towards the door to go out and stopped, while Lu Lian looked at him as she was ready to sit in her chair. 

He turned as the light smirk painted on his lips, "If you need anything, no need to bother me. Help yourself."

She frowned and smiled sarcastically, "Thanks for the tip."

Ming Rusheng left, and Lu Lian mumbled, "Still the same air-headed person."

Ming Rusheng went back to his office, where Elder Ming was talking with someone on his cellphone. 

Seeing him, elder Ming said bye to the person on the other side of the line in a hurry.

"You returned early. Is she comfortable there?" Elder Ming asked.

"Did I come early and interrupted grandpa's conversation with his dear friend?" Ming Rusheng countered as he sat in his chair. 

Elder Ming was caught off guard with Ming Rusheng's words and said awkwardly, "I just care for her."

"She is not working for the first time in any company for grandpa to care for her. We should trust her ability to work better and adjust to the conditions," came the cold reply from the busy man who started his work. 

For the first time, the dangerous older man with whom no one dared to argue was speechless at the moment.

'No wonder he took after me but just wait until I tie a bell in your neck, which is sitting in the next room,' the elder Ming thought as he glared at his grandson.

"Did you say something, grandfather?" Ming Rusheng asked.

"N-No, why? Did you hear something?"

"I felt as if someone was planning something against me," Ming Rusheng replied, being busy in his work. 

"Who can dare to do that. You are my grandson," Elder Ming countered awkwardly. 

"I hope that person is not my grandpa," Ming Rusheng commented, his voice calm and looked like he was not bothered by anything that his grandpa did.

Elder Ming was about to say something, but there was a knock on the door, and Ming Rusheng's assistant entered the office with a bunch of files in his hands. 

He went to elder Ming, "The shortlisted candidates for the assistant for Ms. Lu."

Ming Rusheng looked at the two as he didn't know about this.

Elder Ming went through the files one by one as he kept commenting over each candidate.

"He looks handsome and well qualified."

"This one looks nice too. Our girl needs a kind of assistant who will match her standard."

"Ohh, this guy is even better, will suit her perfectly." 

Elder Ming continued going through the files and commenting nicely. 

Ming Rusheng felt annoyed, "Grandpa, it's about getting an assistant for her and not the guy who will marry her."

"What's it to you? You do your work. Let me find one handsome and most qualified assistant for her."

"Why do I feel like you are acting like, grandpa Lu?" Commenting, Ming Rusheng ordered his assistant in a firm voice, "Get me those files."

The assistant looked at Elder Ming for his permission, and elder Ming instructed, "You should listen to your boss."

The assistant gathered the files from the center table in front of the elder Ming and put them on Ming Rusheng's table.

Stopping his work, Ming Rusheng skimmed through the files with lightning speed and canceled all the options that elder Ming liked. He just looked at the pictures of the candidates and not even their qualifications.

Then the only two files left with the candidates that Ming Ruseng found suitable for the job of Lu Lian's assistant. 

Keeping the two files aside, Ming Rusheng instructed, "Put all these in a trash bin and give these two files to grandpa."

The assistant followed his boss's order and gave the two shortlisted files to elder Ming, and the remaining he took out of the office. 

Elder Ming looked into two files, and he was not surprised with the result; rather, he smiled slyly. Out of the two candidates, one was not such a good looking man with thick lens spectacle, and the other one was the woman. 

His grandson gave him two options but made sure his grandpa would choose the one he wanted, and that was the woman assistant. 

Ming Rusheng knew his grandpa wanted a handsome man, so he chose an ugly-looking man, and the other was a young woman. He believed, elder Ming would choose the woman over that man, and his plan worked. 

'My smart grandson. Only if he accepts Lu Lian, I wouldn't doubt his smartness ever,' elder Ming thought as he smiled. 

The assistant returned, and the elder Ming instructed, "This one is final. Get everything ready faster."

The assistant left, and elder Ming commented, "We had so many good looking and handsome men's profiles. I wonder why you chose that one."

"Looks don't define man's smartness and his qualification," Ming Rusheng spoke, and the elder Ming kept quiet. 

"I believe in my grandson's choice."

"It has nothing to do with me. It's a grandpa who chose the candidate," Ming Rusheng declared.
