Chapter 38 A Moment of Recklessness (Please continue reading, and vote with monthly tickets!)

People make mistakes when they are anxious.

This is a truth that everyone knows.

What was originally a field that one could handle with ease and confidence could lead to an overly rash decision due to an unstable mindset, and the final result would naturally be unsatisfactory.

The moment Xu Yuan had been waiting for—the moment when He Xiaona would act rashly—was about to arrive.

At a barbecue party with friends, Song Ming, while eating skewers, asked He Xiaona about her future career plans:
“I was originally planning to take the exam for a government job at the tobacco bureau, since my mom works there. But she told me that the salary at the tobacco bureau is very low and that I should find a job outside myself.”

Feng Lian asked doubtfully, "How could the Tobacco Bureau have poor benefits? And I remember that it's all based on inheritance, isn't it?"

"You have to be under 28 to meet that requirement. I'm too old now. Besides, the salary at the county tobacco bureau is really not high. My mom said it's also very hard work and she doesn't think I can do it."

"You're just too honest. Why would someone who came back from a big city need to look for a job on their own?"

Wang Wenhui scolded He Xiaona, saying, "Our boss Lao Xu is such a big boss, can't he even arrange a job for you? Lao Xu, what do you say?"

"As for me... there isn't a particularly suitable position for Xiaona at the moment."

Xu Jingguang's expression was also somewhat troubled, "Besides, you used to work hard in Shanghai, I'm afraid you won't be satisfied with the salary paid in the county."

"It's okay, I can do odd jobs! As for the salary, it's not important."

He Xiaona was clearly eager to seize this opportunity. "I want to start learning from scratch now. Learning something is the most important thing. Everything else is secondary."

Wang Wenhui said with a smile, "President Xu, we can't let Xiaona suffer. After all, she is a college graduate. She studied finance, so she will definitely be a good helper in managing your finances."

"So you got your accounting certificate, right? Did you pass the CPA exam?"

"There are some junior-level certifications available... but the CPA exam is too difficult."

"Beginner level..."

Now, all three accountants at Xu Jingguang's hotel have intermediate professional titles, and besides, they don't have any other work to do.

In Xu Yuan's memory, He Xiaona in his previous life also worked at his father's hotel.

In her previous life, He Xiaona joined Xu Jingguang's hotel around the New Year, but by then she had already passed the intermediate accountant exam.

It just so happened that a finance staff member at the hotel also resigned after the New Year, which is why He Xiaona offered to join the company to help. In other words, Xu Jingguang took the initiative to ask He Xiaona for help.

He Xiaona worked diligently at the hotel for a year or two, demonstrating excellent professional skills and gaining Xu Jingguang's trust.

Otherwise, how could Xu Jingguang have later assigned her such an important task as personnel management?
He's a big boss after all, and he's not stupid.

He Xiaona hasn't fully developed her skills yet, and Xu Jingguang's hotel isn't exactly short-staffed. At this point, Xu Jingguang feels it's inappropriate to rush into getting her into the hotel through connections.

Seeing Xu Jingguang's troubled expression, He Xiaona, being very quick-witted, immediately smiled and said:

"No, it's okay... If there really isn't a suitable position, then forget it. I don't want to put you in a difficult position."

"I'm sorry, the hotel doesn't have any right now—"

"Dad, please let Aunt He work at the hotel!"

At this moment, Xu Yuan showed his support for He Xiaona, saying, "If Aunt He doesn't have a job, she won't have money to eat. Wouldn't that be pitiful?"

"It's alright, Yuanyuan... Auntie thanks you, but Auntie still has some savings, so I won't starve."

He Xiaona has a high opinion of Xu Yuan; clearly, this child is very sensible and knows how to care for his aunt...

Xu Jingguang thought for a moment and felt that it wouldn't be appropriate not to arrange a job for her. "Well, if Xiaona doesn't mind... how about she work as our hotel's financial assistant for now?"

"Yes, I can start learning from scratch."

He Xiaona looked completely sincere, but Wang Wenhui couldn't help but chime in, "Can't Xiaona be your assistant? I mean... a secretary or something. I don't see any helper around you as a boss."

If I could become Xu Jingguang's assistant, I would have the opportunity to spend a lot of time alone with him, which I believe is something Xu Jingguang has always been looking forward to.

As for what kind of work he does, that's not important! "Ah, Aunt He, you absolutely mustn't become Dad's secretary!"

Xu Yuan suddenly interrupted the discussion, "Those secretaries on TV are all bad women who seduce their bosses. Aunt He, you're such a good person, you definitely wouldn't be a bad woman, right?"

Xu Yuan's innocent remarks immediately plunged everyone into a brief silence, which was then broken by Song Ming's hearty laughter:

"Haha, what are you doing watching TV dramas now?"

"It was my friend Ake who told me!" Xu Yuan shifted the blame onto Xia Ke.

"My work schedule doesn't need to be arranged by a secretary or assistant, so I'll just continue working as the finance assistant for now."

Xu Jingguang paused for a moment, then said softly, "This way, we won't have people gossiping, which would be bad for either of us."

……

He Xiaona felt a pang of regret, and even cursed her best friend Wang Wenhui in her heart for talking too much and being so sarcastic.

Even if you hadn't said that, I would have had plenty of ways to turn a finance assistant into a secretary!
Now that you've mentioned it, and considering the nonsense Yuanyuan just spouted, Xu Jingguang will definitely avoid you.

Because the level of goodwill wasn't high enough, and the effort and ability shown didn't earn Xu Jingguang's approval, Xu Jingguang said he wanted to avoid suspicion.

However, the most important thing now is to work hard, cultivate relationships, and build trust.

"Xiaona, when are you planning to start work?"

"It can be done tomorrow," He Xiaona said.

"Well, tomorrow I'll show you around the company, and then... well, you'll be working with Sister Zhang on financial statements from now on."

"Also, the end of the year will be quite busy, so you should be mentally prepared."

"No problem, boss!"

He Xiaona smiled and saluted Xu Yuan, "Xiaona guarantees to help the boss achieve this year's performance targets!"

Wang Wenhui laughed heartily, "Oh, so you're calling the boss already! You're doing it quite properly."

Hurry up and become your boss's wife! Sisters, you'll still have a chance to enjoy life.

Xu Jingguang looked helpless. "You don't need to call me that normally..."

Everyone at the dinner table laughed, except for Wang Wenhui's son, Dabao, who was still struggling with the Ultraman Taro in his hand, desperately trying to pry off the horns of Ultraman Taro.

Finally, with a loud click, he successfully broke off Taro's horn, but at the same time, the horn went into his mouth and he couldn't spit it out.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yuan immediately shouted in alarm, "Da Bao swallowed the toy!"

Everyone frantically helped Da Bao induce vomiting, and he finally vomited out the broken horn of Ultraman Taro.

The end of the year is the busiest time of year for finance and accounting. Even though He Xiaona got a job at her father's hotel, she didn't have the opportunity to get close to him. This was completely different from her previous life, where she started her job in the spring after everyone had finished their work.

At that time, she took advantage of her free time to chat with her father, and their relationship gradually began to warm up.

But my dad is also very busy with work at the end of the year.

He was busy with social engagements, year-end meetings, and various hotel affairs, leaving him with almost no free time at the hotel.

He Xiaona is a cunning and shrewd woman; she could never be unaware of the pros and cons. It will be difficult for her to improve her relationship with her father in the short term.

Hmm... You should just work like a beast of burden for my hotel and atone for your sins from your past life!

Of course, now that he understood what He Xiaona was most worried about, he had a more practical action plan.

If you can create a strong enough sense of crisis in her, this woman will make repeated mistakes because of her eagerness to succeed, and eventually reveal her true colors to her father.

So, Xu Yuan turned his gaze to Aunt Lin Jing, who was tending to the flowers and plants on the balcony.
