Chapter 223 Assistant (Part 1)

Wei Hongsi could understand Xia Shiyu's thoughts and mindset at this moment.

Xia gave up pursuing a master's degree in Beijing because of his father's health; this was a passive choice made with his family's health in mind. If Mr. Xia hadn't had that accident, he would definitely have been pursuing his master's degree in Beijing.

Now that President Xia is gradually recovering, Xia Shiyu has resumed his previous plans, naturally still hoping to pursue a full-time postgraduate degree. At his age, this is a perfectly normal choice.

However, Xia Shiyu previously stated upon joining the company that he would prioritize work, which inevitably gives the impression of being inconsistent. Moreover, considering his actual circumstances, pursuing a part-time postgraduate degree would be a better choice.

However, Wei Hongsi believes that Xia has absolutely no need to worry. As the saying goes, times change, and plans can't keep up with changes, which is perfectly normal.

However, Xia Shiyu's hesitation went beyond that. Because for him, it was possible to have both.

Within the established framework of university-industry cooperation, Xia Shiyu can still participate in project team work while pursuing a full-time postgraduate degree, accumulating work experience at the same time without neglecting either. However, this is conditional on the fact that his supervisor must be within this framework.

Wei Hongsi asked with a smile, "Have you already chosen a mentor?"

Xia Shiyu nodded and said, "If possible, I would like to study under Professor Liu as a graduate student."

Wei Hongsi said, "You can actually fight for this opportunity yourself. Just participate more in the work you do in cooperation with them, and you'll get used to it."

Xia Shiyu smiled and nodded: "Okay, thank you, President Wei."

He knew that since Wei Hongsi had said that, he would definitely be given priority for such a job opportunity. Moreover, if necessary, Wei Hongsi could put in a good word with Professor Liu. All of this depended on him doing his job well first.

Wei Hongsi said, "Don't thank me yet. You're busy with work now, are you confident about your chances of passing the exam at the end of the year?"

Xia Shiyu said, "It should be alright, after all, I just finished the exam not long ago and haven't given up yet."

Wei Hongsi said, "If you need to set aside some time to review, just tell me."

Xia Shiyu nodded and said, "Okay."

Wei Hongsi knew that Xia Shiyu had good grades in school, but taking exams is actually a special skill, and it is easy to deteriorate if you don't practice and maintain it. This can be considered a reminder.

After Xia Shiyu left, Wei Hongsi opened his music app, intending to check the ranking of "The Brave," but upon thinking of the negative comments, he immediately decided not to look.

He put on his headphones, listened to "The Brave" once, then listened to other songs by Shen Qing, and then opened the book he was reading. Listening to music while reading was a novel experience for him.

When it was time for work in the afternoon, Wei Hongsi began to prepare the report materials for Wednesday's exchange meeting.

This is an international exchange meeting, so he needs to carefully consider which content should be emphasized and which should not be discussed. He plans to write a draft today and then ask his senior brother for a second review.

He was writing materials until 3 o'clock when Wu Wenjun called him, saying that a new employee was going to report to the CDD project department and asked if he had time to meet with the new employee.

Wei Hongsi felt something was off, so he asked, "President Wu, is this new employee someone who just joined the company?"

'

Wu Wenjun said, "Yes, I just reported for duty today."

Wei Hongsi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, have him come over now."

A new employee who had just joined the company asked Wu Wenjun to call and arrange for him to work in the CDD project department, which clearly indicated some special relationship or reason. The previous person with a similar situation was Xia Shiyu.

So Wei Hongsi couldn't help but wonder, could this be another person similar to Xia?

He continued writing the materials in his hand. After more than ten minutes, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in." He turned his head and saw a girl with a high ponytail walk in, which made him pause in surprise.

This was the girl who sat next to him when he returned from Xicheng yesterday. The two of them even took a taxi together to the company building.

After the girl came in, she closed the door behind her, walked up to Wei Hongsi with a smile, nodded and said, "Hello, Mr. Wei, my name is Liu Lu, reporting for duty."

""

Wei Hongsi never expected that the so-called new employee would be her. However, he quickly composed himself and asked, "Is this your real name?"

"Yes," the girl nodded. "There's nothing wrong with saying it."

Wei Hongsi then asked, "How did you come to our company?"

Liu Lu said, "I asked you yesterday if you minded being colleagues, and you said you didn't, so I came."

Wei Hongsi then realized that he had misunderstood the other party's meaning yesterday.

He assumed that since he had been hired as an expert by the task force, and the girl was also working for the task force, they were colleagues. When the girl asked him if he minded, she meant that she was following him every day.

Little did she know, the other person meant she wanted to come work at the company and become his real colleague. Liu Lu must have reported this to her superiors, so getting in wouldn't be difficult at all; from General Manager Dai onwards, no one would stop her.

Now that things have come to this, it's probably impossible to change things immediately. However, the girl's presence at the company isn't necessarily a bad thing for him. He's not ungrateful; at least one of her purposes is to protect him.

However, it's still necessary to do the necessary research. Wei Hongsi asked, "Won't it be inconvenient for you to join our company as an employee?"

Liu Lu nodded and said, "That's true to some extent. But you're often traveling these days, sometimes even outside the city. If I want to follow you, it'll be more convenient to be your colleague. What do you think?"

Wei Hong thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "That makes sense. So, what exactly will you be doing after you join the company? You can't just follow me around, can you?"

Liu Lu said, "I really don't understand your highly specialized stuff, and I'm afraid I won't be able to learn it in a short time. But I think I can manage some basic administrative tasks after learning them."

Wei Hongsi asked, "Do you have any special skills? I mean, anything related to our daily work."

Liu Lu thought for a moment and said, "Does reading materials very quickly count? For example, I can read through 100 pages of material in a relatively short time and remember the key points."

Wei Hongsi said, "This skill is indeed impressive. But what if most of the content in the material is beyond your knowledge?"

Liu Lu said, "In that case, the effect would be much worse."

When Wei Hongsi heard her say this, he felt that her special skill was more reliable. It was not some kind of metaphysical "quantum reading", but rather memorization and summarization based on her own understanding.
