The rest of the meeting was just Mu Yixun introducing the company and hammering the basics of Guan Xi's debut.
Finally, Mu Yixun said, "I'm your manager and I'm only responsible for you. In addition to me, the company will arrange an assistant for you to help you with your day to day. When you have more work in the future, you can hire other assistants."
"But..." Guan Xi interrupted.
"Hmm?"
"Can I choose my own assistant?"
"Do you have a suitable person in mind?"
"Yes." Guan Xi nodded excitedly. "I already know the person for the job."
...
"Xixi, what did you say?"
Guan Xi went straight to the hospital after she left the company. She sat with Little Grape for a while before she went off to tell Bai Xiaomi about the job offer.
Bai Xiaomi's eyes were as wide as saucers. With suppressed excitement, she asked, "You signed with Emperor of Shang Entertainment? And you want me to be your assistant?"
"Yes."
Guan Xi nodded. "Yes, I signed with Shang Huang Entertainment and they want to arrange an assistant for me. I told them that I already have the right person for the job..."
She paused for sometime before saying, "Xiaomi, do you want to be my assistant?"
She was actually afraid that Xiaomi wouldn't want to be her assistant.
Bai Xiaomi, on the other hand, was more than happy with her friend's offer.
"Yes, yes, yes! Of course, I want to be your assistant! Xixi, you're really too kind."
Bai Xiaomi went up to Guan Xi and gave her a big hug. "Xixi, thank you."
Her voice was a little choked up and she sounded like she was about to cry. "Thank you for thinking of me."
Bai Xiaomi grew up in an orphanage just like Guan Xi.
However, unlike Guan Xi, she was not adopted. She had lived all her life in the orphanage.
Bai Xiaomi's academic results were good, but the orphanage was a welfare institution. There was no extra money. Although the director had always asked Bai Xiaomi to go to college, she refused and instead took on jobs right after high school.
Before Guan Xi married into the Xiao family, many of the part-time jobs she took were recommended to her by Bai Xiaomi.
Bai Xiaomi didn't have a high academic qualification, so the only jobs she could take were part-time. Needless to say, Xixi's job offer was more than she could ever ask for.
Guan Xi hugged Bai Xiaomi, laughing happily. "What are you thanking me for? I should be the one thanking you."
She was indeed lucky to have such a good friend.
Bai Xiaomi hugged Guan Xi for a while before letting go. She promised, "Xixi, although I haven't been an assistant before, I will work hard. I promise I will do everything I can to help you."
Guan Xi aatted Bai Xiaomi on the shoulder reassuringly. "Don't worry, I already know that, silly. Both of us will work hard.
Bai Xiaomi nodded seriously.
At this moment, the two young and lively girls were filled with hope for the future.
"Oh, right!" Bao Xiaomi exclaimed. "Xixi, in all my excitement, I forgot to tell you that the person who ran over Little Grape was caught."
"Caught?" Guan Xi's eyes widened in surprise.
"Yes. It was a twenty-something-year-old person who hit her, but..."
Bai Xiaomi pursed her lips, a sad expression on her face. "Yesterday, the police released him. The police said that although the man did hit Little Grape, he wasn't aware of it. Since it was not intentional, he didn't need to be locked up. But it wasn't like that at all. The director and I saw someone talking to the police. It seemed that the man's family was very rich. He was released because of his connections..."
