My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

“I understand that not everyone can be Chen’s assistant. I was actually looking to be your assistant’s intern instead, so that I can learn the ropes from him,” Ouyang Qing replied with a twinkle in her eyes.

Nan Chen did not reply.

His silence was not an acquiescence to her request, but a rejection.

Nan Chen’s assistant was hand-picked from a large pool of elites. He was considered among the senior leadership of the company, and definitely the crème de la crème.

Both IQ and EQ were necessary to qualify for the position. Nan Chen’s assistant must be able to read his mind just by looking at him.

Jiang Zhe had only managed to rise to the post after many years of learning and toiling. Needless to say, a fresh graduate like Ouyang Qing was definitely not equipped to be Nan Chen’s assistant, not even as an intern.

“Chen, am I putting you in a difficult spot?” Ouyang Qing asked while looking at the man with her innocent eyes.

“You’re indeed not good enough for the role, I can’t practice favoritism,” Nan Chen replied.

The man wasn’t being political – he really meant his words.

Apart from his outstanding capabilities, the reason Nan Chen could be at the helm of the Nanshi Corporation at such a young age was because of his impartiality.

He had always promoted his employees based on meritocracy and ensured that the right people were placed in the right positions. That was one of his core guiding principles in managing the organization.

The most capable would be placed at the top. Other factors, such as familial ties, would not be an element of consideration. That was the culture of the Nanshi Corporation.

Even Nan Chen’s one and only brother, Nan Xing, was only the corporation’s Senior Vice President. He did not get to enjoy special privileges just because he was Nan Chen’s brother.

When he performed badly at work, he still had to be deployed to Africa as a punishment.

Even though Ouyang Qing was sweet-looking and likable, Nan Chen would not make any exceptions to the company rules just for her.

An obvious glint of disappointment flashed across the young lady’s eyes.

Her true intention was not really to learn the ropes of an assistant, but to take advantage of the proximity to get closer to Nan Chen.

“I understand, Chen. Don’t worry about it. I wasn’t really serious about it anyway,” Ouyang Qing beamed at Nan Chen as she said that.
