Zhang ZhiSu brought up Jiang DeXian out of the blue. “That assistant of yours seems an overkill working with you.”

Fang JunRong thought about it a little and asked tentatively, “Are you talking about Jiang DeXian? What about him?” Jiang DeXian was, indeed, a very capable one and was able to complete all of his assignments quickly and perfectly. In addition to that, having him around could also save her a lot of other hassles. Afterall, she had “inadvertently” mentioned in one of the gatherings that she would not consider anyone who was less attractive than Jiang DeXian. Many with some self-awareness had stopped trying to approach her.

“He has genius instinct when it came to data and had been doing very well in the stock market as of late.”

Fang JunRong didn’t know much about that. For the most part, as long as they were not breaking the law, she didn’t care too much what her employees did after hours. She must respect others’ privacy. She didn’t know that Jiang DeXian had been playing the stock market.

She smiled and said, “It’d seem that I wouldn’t have to worry about his golden age after he retires.”

Zhang ZhiSu’s intention was to make Fang JunRong aware. Now that she had an idea, he changed the subject.

The two chatted some about international news and Fang JunRong took off after a cup of tea and returned to her office.

After flipping through the documents that had been sitting there for the past couple of days, she looked up at Jiang DeXian. He was still wearing the suit that she had bought him from the very beginning. It made him seemed taller and more handsome. Noticing that she had been looking at him, he looked up and looked into her eyes with his sparkling ones before he turned away gently. “Boss.”

Fang JunRong seemed to be pondering. “You like this suit a lot? I seem to see you wearing it all the time.”

Jiang DeXian looked down. “Mmm. I bought a few that looked the same. I am already used to this style.”

Fang JunRong’s lips twitched. What a reason, what a reason.

What was it that she wanted to talk about? She almost digressed again.

Oh, that’s right, she wanted to give him a reminder. Playing the stock market can bring in quick money but one could also easily lose one’s life saving if they are not being careful. He was, after all, a very important employee of hers and has had very intact work ethics. She felt that she owed him a reminder.

She cleared her throat. “I’d like you to go and get me a book. I plan to read it on the plane. Let me think… the title is My Past Success.”

This was a bestseller book a year ago. The author wrote the story based on his own life’s experiences. He was an investment banker for the first half of his life and earned a lot of capital serving big corporate clients. Success after success had given him a big head and once, when the data predicted a downfall of the stock market, he tried to short sell a tremendous amount but ended up losing all of his money. He turned to writing novels instead and this particular one became a best seller both domestically and internationally and he was able to rebuild his wealth from his royalties.

Jiang DeXian was taken aback a little, then said, “Okay.”

The was a bookstore in the mall not too far from their company. He didn’t even need to ask anyone when he walked inside the store and was able to spot the book at the most eye-catching location. Jiang DeXian ended up buying two of them.

He stayed up all night to finish the book and launched into deep thought.

The next day, when he went into work, he said to Fang JunRong, “Truth is, I do have a few houses in the city.”

As such, his boss would not need to worry about his losing all of his money in the market. When push came to shove, he could always be a landlord.

Fang JunRong smiled at him and said, “Good to hear.”
