"The stock's value of the previous medicinal capsule increases from 5% to 10% after the actress, Fa Mei Mei, advertised it. Using her had taken a toll on most of our investments. A lot of other companies and pharmacies want to be part of this management but we are afraid that our CEO is not taking them seriously."

The meeting is going smoothly as the Ming Southside's representative came 5 minutes before Qin Sheng's allotted grace period for them. Mr. Wang is standing beside Yangxin while the latter is listening to their discussion.

"May I ask why your CEO doesn't want the other companies to take part in this business?"

One of the presenters gulps before he answers the young CEO as he knows that he cannot lie to the CEO of the Lin Group Company or they will lose this deal before it even happened.

They also know that they cannot mess this up or their CEO will publicly execute them.

Yes, Ming Southside's CEO had a bad reputation amongst his peers. It is also the reason why most of his employees were scared of his tenacity when it comes to his company.

He is more like a tiger than a sheep. He does not falter no matter how many times they call him names or insult him in public.

He mostly hates reporters trying to pry his private life. Qin Sheng also knows that but if these were the company's best presenters, Ming Southside Corp is not a good company to get affiliated with.

The presenters continue their presentation but Qin Sheng's expression is not readable that even Mr. Wang is visibly sweating for the presenters.

Yangxin, on the other hand, is asking himself why the CEO of the Ming Southside Corp. did not show up and presents their deals to Mr. Lin, instead of these hooligans who basically don't know what they are doing.

The meeting had finished with a bad note, meaning Qin Sheng is not as satisfied as he thought he would be. But with Yangxin's persuasion, he gave them another chance to redeem themselves in their next meeting.

The two presenters thanked Yangxin and went on their way to report back to their manipulative CEO. With sweats on their forehead, they pressed call and were greeted with a very deep voice; that almost sounds like a growl.

They both looked scared that Yangxin felt sorry for them. Thinking without any context, he grabbed the phone from the two presenters. With his cheerful voice, he greets the CEO from the other line.

"The meeting had ended smoothly despite the other casualties of unpracticed representation and unclear power points. But nonetheless, Mr. Lin is still satisfied and wants you to come back next week for another presentation. It would also be lovely if you are there. Have a great day."

Before the CEO can even answer, Yangxin hangs up and gives the phone back to the two presenters before going back to Mr. Wang, who is shaking his head in return.

"You don't have to do that."

Yangxin just shrugs the statement and proceeds to Qin Sheng's office. He excitedly opens up the office when he felt as if someone tugs him from behind. He looks over and sees that it is Qin Sheng's other secretary.

Her face is unreadable but she is blushing so much that Yangxin thinks that she is sick. But with what she said, he made sure not to judge any woman who is blushing after tugging a guy from behind.

"What's wrong? Are you okay?"

The woman keeps her lips on a thin line before she drops the question that she had wanted to ask Yangxin.

"Are you Mr. Lin's lover?"

Yangxin was shell-shocked. He does not know what to answer. But he knows that he is Qin Sheng's personal assistant. Whatever that means for the both of them.

Yangxin sighs and is about to answer when Mr. Wang suddenly pulls him away from the young secretary.

"Please be professional. You are at work so stop dreaming about unnecessary things."

His voice is stern and his eyes were gazing. Yangxin felt as if he is in big trouble for breaking one of the rules of the company. It was that kind of feel.

The woman is flustered when she saw Mr. Wang with a face that expresses his pissed-off attitude. She bows her head down and excuses herself, leaving the two in front of the CEO's office door.

"If someone approached you the same that she did, tell it to me immediately. Now, go inside. Mr. Lin has been waiting for you."

Yangxin can only nod at the man before he is being shoved inside of the office. Mr. Wang immediately closes down the door even before Yangxin manages to ask him a question.

The latter sighs as he faces the young CEO, who is clearly immense to whatever he is doing as of that moment.

Yangxin wants to pry but he doesn't want to lose the only job that was offered to him. He doesn't even know what a personal assistant does every day.

But Mr. Wang is helpful enough that Yangxin could ask thousands of questions and he would answer them back.

He stares at the CEO, who is frowning while looking down at the stacks of papers in front of him. Reading them one by one before signing such an important agreement.

Yangxin decides to sit down on the sofa while watching the CEO working at his desk. He can't help but stare at the hard-working CEO as he thinks to himself about how handsome he is.

He never saw how hard-working the CEO is until he had seen him today. Even at the meeting, the CEO is serious and composed. He had been dreaming of meeting him in person but now, he doesn't know what to do anymore.

Yangxin is thankful enough that Qin Sheng had given him a job as his personal assistant but the latter still does not know his role in this company or in Qin Sheng's life.

But he does admit that he wants to be more to the young CEO. A bit more than a personal assistant. He wants to be more than that young man who he found in the back alley of his building.

Yangxin sighs as he knows that this dream would not become a reality. But he can wish, right?

When the phone call drops, he looks at the vast clear sky and smirks.

"Whoever you are, know that you would be mine, soon."
