Chapter 453: Chapter 452 Habits (1)
When she looked back again, damn it, that wasn’t Wei Jingjing at all—it was clearly Bo Yan! Moreover, that sound of tearing open the package was not essential oil after all, but the umbrella he had prepared!
Wait, that doesn’t make sense. Her room card—only she and Wei Jingjing had one. How did Bo Yan get in?
Xia Siyu immediately furrowed her brows, “Did you tell Jingjing? Who allowed you to tell her that?”
Hadn’t she said that their relationship was only for the two of them to know, to not involve others, especially to keep her private life from mixing with her work!
“Do you really think we can keep our relationship a secret from the company, but what about from assistants who spend every waking hour with us? Can we really keep it hidden from them? Or is it that your relationship with Wei Jingjing isn’t actually that close?” Bo Yan had considered this. However, it wasn’t the first time Wei Jingjing had discovered something about him and Xia Siyu, and she had never talked about it. Even with Qin Baizhou, he felt that it was Qin Baizhou who had noticed something on his own.
Due to her family background and becoming an entertainer, Xia Siyu had a strong sense of guard. This guard, while beneficial at most times, isn’t applicable in all situations.
Some entertainers when changing companies find it hard to take their managers with them, but assistants can usually follow.
Wanting to be independent was necessary, but some trust had to be given to those deserving of it. After all, human beings are social animals; she couldn’t forever hide herself in an unseen corner, wallow in self-pity, and keep to herself. Doing so would be detrimental to her mental and physical health, as well as to her career development.
“Of course, Jingjing and I are on very good terms.” Although Wei Jingjing had not been with her from the start of her career in entertainment. It was after she had joined Qin Baizhou’s company that Wei Jingjing was newly recruited. In fact, according to the workload, Wei Jingjing had far surpassed what was expected of an assistant and could independently handle responsibilities as a manager. Seeing Wei Jingjing was like seeing the former Qin Baizhou. Over the years, it wasn’t just her and Qin Baizhou who had developed—Wei Jingjing had as well.
Moreover, since Wei Jingjing was also a woman, there were some things Xia Siyu could not conveniently discuss with Qin Baizhou but could with Wei Jingjing. For example, she had never told Qin Baizhou or Zhou Weiwei about the time she had almost slept with Bo Yan during a show, but she confided it to Wei Jingjing. After all, Wei Jingjing was involved in her life, and their close interaction naturally fostered a closer relationship.
But there were some personal issues she did not want to share with anyone. Or perhaps, since the mother who could listen to everything was no longer there, she wished to completely hide her privacy, to not have it known by anyone else.
Moreover, although Wei Jingjing was her assistant, her direct supervisor was Qin Baizhou. Jingjing would listen to her but would also heed Qin Baizhou.
Even though she had asked Wei Jingjing to help conceal her affair with Bo Yan last time, she always had this feeling that the recent odd behavior of Qin Baizhou was not merely because she wanted to renew her contract, but because he had sensed something. Maybe it was something Wei Jingjing had said.
“How do you know she won’t tell Qin?”
“I’ll teach you,” Bo Yan said and then stepped over from outside the bathtub and embraced her: “If you want to continue to develop, to take another step up and forward, the one thing you must learn is how to interact with your subordinates, to ‘manage those beneath you’!”
