After Ning Ruxing got to know the other assistants, Lisa brought her back to the chairman’s office. As soon as Ning Ruxing entered the office, she found that the work desk had already been placed in the office. The pure white office table and chair were right next to Jin Yebei’s desk with a large floor-to-ceiling window next to it. Ning Ruxing immediately got into work mode and asked, “Chairman, is there anything I can do for you?”

Jin Yebei looked at Ning Ruxing and found her to wearing a dress of an unknown brand. How could the future wife of someone like him wear such a shabby dress? If this were made public, people would say that Jin Yebei didn’t want to spend money on his wife. Jin Yebei looked at his watch and calmly said, “As my assistant, you can’t look too shabby. The Guo Mao Mall is next door. Let’s go get you some new clothes.”

When Ning Ruxing heard the first half of his sentence, she didn’t think much of it. But when she heard the second half, she was a little shocked. A dignified chairman was going to personally buy a mere assistant clothes? Without waiting for Ning Ruxing to say anything, Jin Yebei stood up. Ning Ruxing hurriedly went to get the coat hanging on the hanger and quickly caught up with Jin Yebei to put it on him. Jin Yebei frowned, stopped, and said, “It’s hot today, I don’t need to wear a coat.”

There was a hint of pride in his tone as if he was sulking at his girlfriend. Ning Ruxing took off his coat but not before Jin Yebei reached into the pocket of his coat, took out an elevator card, and handed it to Ning Ruxing. He had prepared it last night, but he acted as if it was no big deal.

“This is the card for my private elevator. You can use this to come directly to the office.”

Ning Ruxing took the elevator card happily. This way, she didn’t have to squeeze into the elevator with the others in the future. Sen Ran’s building had many floors and the elevator would stop at almost each during peak hours. It would take a lot of time to reach the top floor. And now that it was summer, it always smelled sweaty in there even though people would rather not pay much attention to it.

After Ning Ruxing put the coat away, she followed Jin Yebei into the private elevator. It smelled very comforting in there, just like Jin Yebei’s coat. Every button in the elevator had been wiped clean. After entering the elevator, Jin Yebei looked at Ning Ruxing and asked, “You don’t have to go to class today?”

While asking, Jin Yebei was about to press the button to the first floor when Ning Ruxing reached out to do the same. She happened to touch Jin Yebei’s hand and hurriedly retracted hers. She didn’t expect a man’s hand to be so fair and cold, yet he didn’t wear a coat. He would really endure the temperature for the sake of elegance!

Ning Ruxing said, “I don’t have any classes today!”

Hearing this, Jin Yebei nodded, but then he remembered that Ning Ruxing had come early today. He didn’t know if she had eaten breakfast or not. If she hadn’t, it would be bad for her body. After all, a person was made of iron, and rice was steel. If she didn’t eat, she would be hungry! ‘Shopping for clothes is also a physically demanding job. She can’t go hungry,’ thought Jin Yebei.

“You arrived so early today. Have you had breakfast?”

Ning Ruxing was very surprised. Did the chairman care so much about his subordinates? Not only did he bring her out to buy clothes, but he also cared about whether she had eaten breakfast? This kind of chairman was too good! He was not as cold as and as much of a workaholic as the rumors outside.

“I’ve eaten.”

After that, the two of them suddenly fell silent and the atmosphere became a little awkward. Ning Ruxing didn’t know what to say for a moment while Jin Yebei looked at Ning Ruxing’s careful appearance and the corner of his mouth revealed a trace of a smile. Seeing that the elevator was about to reach the first floor, Jin Yebei thought of the coffee on the table and said,”Right, I’ll transfer the money for the coffee this morning back to you!”

Ning Ruxing quickly shook her head. She was already very grateful to Jin Yebei for giving her the opportunity to work here. Besides, a cup of coffee didn’t cost much. It was nothing. She didn’t intend to ask Jin Yebei for money at all. If she accepted it, it would seem too stingy of her. With a professional smile, Ning Ruxing said, “There’s no need for that, Chairman. It didn’t cost that much!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Ruxing heard her phone ring with the news that her Alipay had received money. What surprised her even more was that Jin Yebei had transferred twenty thousand yuan to her. The cup of coffee had only cost fifty yuan. Were all the rich people in the world so generous to transfer so much money without saying a word?
