The Female Supporting Character Just Wants To Live A Good Life

Names mentioned in this chapter :

-苏芮 (sù ruì) – Su Rui, our female protagonist

-顾煜城 (gù yù chéng)- Gu Yu Cheng, the male lead

-苏华(sù huá)- Su Hua, the company owned by the Su family.

-顾氏(gù shì)- Gu Company

-王洲(wáng zhōu) – Wang Zhou, Gu Yu Cheng’s assistant

-王助理(wáng zhùlǐ)- Assistant Wang, Wang Zhou　

After taking Su Rui on a tour around Gu Company, Gu Yu Cheng brought Su Rui to the restaurant.

At this moment, Wang Zhou couldn’t continue following them even if he was slow-witted.

When Wang Zhou left, Su Rui finally couldn’t hold her laughter.

“What’s wrong?” Looking down at Su Rui, Gu Yu Cheng asked.

“I feel that it isn’t easy to be Chairman Gu’s assistant.” Su Rui blinked her eyes and said truthfully.

Gu Yu Cheng was slightly stunned and chuckled as he said, “Don’t worry. I won’t do that to my interns, especially not my girlfriend.”

“Pft…” When Su Rui heard what Gu Yu Cheng said, she laughed. She raised her eyebrows and asked, “Wait a minute. I don’t think I ever said that I would come to Gu Company to be your intern assistant, right? ”

“You didn’t say before.” Gu Yu Cheng responded to Su Rui’s question and said after a pause, “But you can think about it.”

“As an assistant to the Chairman of Gu Company, there is a lot of exposure and knowledge to be gained that will be very helpful for your overall learning. However, the intensity of work will also be too high for an internship.”

“Moreover,” With a slight pause in his tone, Gu Yu Cheng added, “Following me, you should be able to gain a lot regardless of whether it is to tackle the examination or managing the company in the future.”

Although Gu Yu Cheng’s tone was somewhat #Wang Po selling honeydew melon^[1], the things he said were really true.

How does one describe the advantages of working with Gu Yu Cheng?

It was basically like getting a seat in the center front row of the concert, that kind of reserved ticket?

This is a rare opportunity.

Moreover, as for how much she can learn, it could easily be seen just from Assistant Wang, who is by Chairman Gu’s side and has excellent business abilities.

It’s just that….

“Then, if I am Chairman Gu’s assistant, do I need to accompany you to banquets?” When discussing this issue, Su Rui’s brain suddenly popped up the theory of “assistants’s gossip” that Father Su had mentioned last time. She raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Gu Yu Cheng, and half-jokingly asked.

“You don’t have to.” Gu Yu Cheng said without any hesitation. However, after a pause, Gu Yu Cheng thought of something and said again, “As an assistant, you don’t have to accompany me to attend any banquets.”

“But as a girlfriend, if you have time and you are willing to, I hope you can go.”

After saying that, he was probably worried that his words would dissuade Su Rui. He added, “Of course, except for the launching ceremony of some important projects or the Gu Company’s annual meeting and the annual meeting with the company’s major partners, I usually don’t attend many banquets.”

It’s not that no one has invited him, but with a status like Chairman Gu, he doesn’t need to give other people face^[2].

“Have you decided?” Looking at the dining table, Su Rui lowered her eyes and looked like she was seriously thinking. The corner of Gu Yu Cheng’s mouth was slightly raised and asked.

“Not yet.” Su Rui said with a smile and looked at Gu Yu Cheng and said, “Since it’s a career choice, I think I should make a good comparison between the two companies before deciding, right?”

The so-called two companies are, of course, Gu Company and Comrade Su’s Su Hua.

“What are your concerns?” Gu Yu Cheng’s eyes flickered with a thought when he heard this and asked seriously.

When Su Rui heard that, she also put away the joking expression she had just now. She thought about it and answered, “No concerns, but I have to tell my dad.”

If she compares the two, Su Rui actually looks more forward to Gu Company. But when she thought of Father Su’s #I have to protect my daughter, #What if my daughter is aggrieved facial expressions, she decided to notify him ahead of time about coming to intern at Gu Company.Of course, she has to inform Mother Su as well.

As for other concerns, she really didn’t have any.

Gu Company is such a big enterprise, and it isn’t some kind of sales organisation or a place to scam university students to work.

What is there to worry about?

As for the formalities, what does it matter if she entered through connections or not?

To be able to join through connections, that’s part of the overall strength of the individual.

Furthermore, she and Gu Yu Cheng have a regular boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. Thus, if nothing unexpected happens in the future, and their relationship development goes smoothly, it is very likely that they will get their marriage certificate and live their lives.

After that, as Gu Yu Cheng said, even if both of their companies do not have any projects, they will naturally enter into a kind of cooperation relationship.

Choosing whether to complete her independent study in Gu Company or Su Hua, Su Rui needed to consider more about where she can learn more.

As for weird ideas like #I don’t want to trouble you, #I want to be independent, #I don’t want people to think I entered through connections… That sort of thing doesn’t exist.

Hearing Su Rui’s answer and then looking at the girl’s candid face, a smile flashed across in the bottom of Gu Yu Cheng’s eyes.

As it turned out, he was the one who had overthought about it.

“What kind of position are you leaning more towards?” Gu Yu Cheng asked.

“Chairman’s assistant is not bad, but I’m more inclined to be a director in these three departments: finance, operation or project.” Su Rui voiced her thoughts.

After all, opinions are one aspect, and the reality is another.

In case she really doesn’t have the capability to manage Su Hua better, then it is still necessary to hire a professional manager.

By that time, what Su Rui had to do more was to master and control it.

As for what #starting from the ground up and getting closer to you one step at a time by my own efforts, which was a conversation that Su Rui has recently heard on some drama that she doesn’t know which that her mother watches occasionally, this was even more non-existent.

Do you know how many tiers separate a large company from the really low-level employee to the general manager?

Not to mention that there is no such thing as a thousand troops to kill six generals and luck can climb up. Even if there is, time also does not allow that. One would probably gloriously retire when their pension insurance is sufficiently paid for fifteen years if one waits for a small low-level staff to really execute a large number of the workplace elite.

Besides, Su Rui, herself, didn’t need to start from the so-called lowest level; what she learned, and what she needed for the future, was never what she needed to have as a manager.

Of course, to practice in Gu Company, Su Rui is just there to learn and not to replace the position of several directors.

When Gu Yu Cheng heard what Su Rui had said, his eyes flickered with bright rays.

It was similar to what he had expected, Gu Yu Cheng smiled, and he understood.

“From what I understand, amongst the few departments you prefer, Gu Company’s management assessments are more complete than Su Hua.” Gu Yu Cheng looked towards Su Rui and said straightforwardly.

Hearing this, she looked at the insistence in Gu Yu Cheng’s eyes, Su Rui couldn’t but chuckle, “Alright~, I understand.”

“I will tell my father.” After a pause, Su Rui blinked her eyes, “So, as for what kind of duties will be assigned to me after I start working, I would have to trouble Chairman Gu to pay more attention.”

Taking advantage of hands-on learning opportunities, not only can she get credits, but also be able to openly “secretly learn from others to learn a skill”, and incidentally date with her boyfriend.

Come to think of it that seems pretty good?

^[1] 王婆卖瓜( wàng pó mài guā)- It would mean to praise oneself.

^[2] 面子(miàn zi)- Face. It would refer to dignity as well.
