"Secretary, would this be a bit...?" Xia Gang, who was sitting next to him, didn't just nod in agreement but frowned and raised his concern.
As the secretary to a leader, the relationship is symbiotic. That doesn't mean the secretary is merely waiting for the leader's promotion, riding the coattails of their success. On the contrary, secretaries have a lot of responsibilities to shoulder.
Yes-men, those secretaries who only parrot what they're told, might be liked by some leaders. However, that's not what Secretary Nie needs. Nie requires a secretary with ability, independent judgment, and ideas. Anyone can be a yes-man, and some might even do it better than oneself.
But such a secretary won't have much of a future. A qualified secretary should not only be able to relieve the leader of personal troubles but also complement the leader at work, thinking about what the leader needs before they do.
