People with certain assets usually hire a full-time person to take care of their daily chores to save their own energy.
In a famous family, this is called a housekeeper, but if you are a wealthy individual, all you need is an assistant.
Although there seem to be some similarities between the two, they actually have very significant differences.
It is also a service industry. People who can be housekeepers are usually proficient in more professional knowledge. There are even professional housekeeper academies in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. A housekeeper who is only qualified through education can get hundreds of thousands of dollars. The annual salary for the best can reach one million, easily defeating countless seemingly glamorous white-collar workers in first-tier cities.
For example, they know how to collect and identify cigars and famous wines, are proficient in etiquette, clothing and furniture maintenance, know how to arrange and prepare a small banquet, how to manage and dispatch servants at home, and even manage the owner's finances, take care of family property, etc. … These require a lot of professional skills and foundational qualities. A qualified housekeeper can even be regarded as a middle-class noble.
Compared with it, the assistant is completely different in every aspect...
"Ye Shuang? You came so early?!" An Zining seemed to have not yet woken up when he received the call from Ye Shuang, who was stopped at the gate of the community. He yawned in a vague voice while casually assigning tasks. Regarding the use of an assistant, It was very smooth, without any hint of politeness or unnaturalness: "Just before you come, help me go to the dry cleaners opposite the community to pick up the clothes, and then go to the Cantonese restaurant to buy breakfast... Oh, by the way, the doorman will be there when you come back. Today’s newspapers and milk were also picked up there.”
After a series of instructions, the other party hung up the phone without waiting for Ye Shuang to reply. Ye Shuang looked at the guard next to him in silence for a while, and then called back with a depressed look on his face.
After the waiting tone lasted for two times, the other party picked up again: "Is there anything else?"
"...First of all, I don't have the laundry list in my hand. Besides, I haven't applied for the access card yet so I can't enter your house. Finally, I just want to ask my next generation how to reimburse me for buying breakfast?" Ye Shuang said blackly.
An Zining was probably asked so many questions that she didn't know which one to answer first, or maybe no one had ever asked her about breakfast reimbursement so directly. In short, she was stunned for half a minute before she came back to her senses: "Uh... Then I'll say hello to the guard room. You can come to my house first."
... So ten minutes later, Ye Shuang finally entered the community smoothly and sat on the sofa of An Zining's new home, not forgetting to bring the milk and newspapers ordered by An Zining.
"I'm actually very talkative and don't pay much attention to ostentation, so you don't have to be too nervous to be my assistant." After washing his face, An Zining opened the milk and started to communicate with Ye Shuang before starting work. There was no need for breakfast. I went to buy it and baked two slices of bread at this time: "In principle, working hours are from 10 am to 6 pm. Depending on the situation, there may be overtime and no rest days, because I don't need to work, and I hired a life assistant. But if I call you and tell you that I don’t want to come, even if you are on vacation that day, don’t actively ask to come, because not wanting you to come means that I need personal time, and your coming will infringe on my privacy... "
Ye Shuang is a little speechless. She has no experience in being a life assistant, so she can only listen obediently now.
"There is money in the drawer on the left side of the TV cabinet in the living room. If you want to buy something, you can take it directly from it and reimburse yourself... There are hourly domestic workers for cooking and cleaning. In principle, there is nothing specific that you need to be responsible for, but all the problems in my life It's all your responsibility. For example, for example, when I eat, you feed me, when I go shopping, you pick up my bag, when I go shopping, you pay, when I take a shower, you put the water in... Forget it this time, don't let me bake bread myself next time." An Zining After thinking for a while, he bit into the bread and made a reluctant metaphor: "Have you ever seen the mazi next to the boss on TV? What you did is similar to that."
"Haha..." I'm so tired, I feel like I won't fall in love again...
Ye Shuang now has every reason to believe that Han Chu didn't have any good intentions at all when he assigned her as an assistant.
This kind of thing can be solved by just finding a nanny or a housekeeping company, so why do you need to send out a headhunter? !
How did she know that what she was receiving was a complete set of commissions for a studio. Housekeeping assistants were ancillary services. They were usually used as internship positions when the elderly brought new people to help them gain experience. The key headhunters were mainly bodyguard lawyers. Wait for professionals.
It was just because of the need to install a related household like Ye Shuang that Han Chu was forced to take this position for this entire transaction. Otherwise, if it were calculated according to the entrustment level, there would really be no need for a mere life assistant. What professionals are you specifically looking for
"Also, Xiao Han probably told you that he will bring other staff here in the afternoon. Please communicate in advance so as not to interfere with my other schedule." While Ye Shuang was distracted, An Zining finished his explanation and spoke smoothly. Of course, the first task was assigned.
"What was Sister An's original itinerary?!" Ye Shuang asked after regaining consciousness.
An Zining thought for a while: "I haven't decided yet. It's really boring to get divorced and I don't even have to arrest the mistress. How about you help me think about it?!"
"Haha..." I'm really tired...
The whole morning went by as Ye Shuang adjusted to work. Apart from going out to help An Zining retrieve the laundry, and calling Han Chu to ask about the time when he would come over, Ye Shuang basically didn't do much else. matter.
The rest of the time she just spent time with An Zining while he watched TV, doing things like pouring drinks and cutting fruits, as he said. Apart from that, if there were no other special instructions, Ye Shuang would basically do it. She can play by herself... As long as she doesn't make too much noise to disturb the boss, she can sit on the sofa next to her and watch TV.
During lunch time, she ordered takeout directly. Although Ye Shuang had already polished up her cooking skills, she had no plans to add extra workload to herself. Anyway, Han Chu was bringing his private chef over in the afternoon, so why would she bother to snatch up professionals if they were available? People's jobs? !
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the doorbell rang on time. An Zining was still watching the variety show on TV. When he heard the ringtone, he only raised his eyelids without saying a word. Ye Shuang, who had been educated in the morning, opened the door consciously.
"Are you adapting well?" The door opened, and Han Chu stood outside with a few people behind him. When he saw it was Ye Shuang, he said hello casually.
Ye Shuang simply didn't know how to reply to this sentence. The job was actually quite easy, and the pay was probably good, but it was completely different from the high-end atmosphere she had imagined: "...it's not bad, please come in."
Han Chu nodded, and without saying anything, he asked the others to change their shoes and come in.
In addition to Han Chu, whom Ye Shuang knew, there were four other people who came with him this time, three men and one woman. Everyone unconsciously glanced at Ye Shuang when they walked in, as if they wanted to see them and rob them. A foreigner in a location.
Of course, everyone had a good attitude. They didn’t treat Ye Shuang coldly because of a job transfer. Only the tall man walking at the end paused when he passed by Ye Shuang, frowned and said, "Next time I hear the doorbell, If so, it’s best to check and ask for the other person’s identity before opening the door. If there are bad guys who want to do harm to the people in the house, you, a girl, just stand directly at the door without being more vigilant, and you can easily be hijacked and exploited. "
Ye Shuang: "..." Damn it, who would come against a divorced widow? Could it be that the mistress hired a murderer to kill her? !
That's what he thought, but Ye Shuang also guessed that these extremely vigilant guys were probably bodyguards, so he responded cooperatively and led them inside without any nonsense.
However, after An Zining heard these words, he was finally willing to divert his attention from the TV program. He looked at Ye Shuang, who looked extraordinarily soft and pleasant, and then at the bodyguard with a rather intimidating figure. Then he raised his head and said to Han Chule: "Xiao Han, the people you lead are really funny."
"..." Where is the joke? !
Han Chu looked at An Zining with a completely incomprehensible look, as if he was crazy, then calmly looked away and introduced directly: "These are the talents we brought this time. The private chefs, bodyguards, and lawyers have been confirmed... The one with the most is from the studio." It’s a novice intern. It doesn’t count the money, just let him follow..."
Ye Shuang noticed that when Han Chu said this, the other three people subconsciously focused their eyes on him again.
... Judging from this, it seems that the assistant position I am currently in should have been someone else's? !
"... The four of us all live in the suite next door you provided. You can just call someone if you need it. The employment agreement is for thirty days. Except for the bodyguard and assistant, other people have no obligation to accompany you when you go out. The lawyer and private chef only I will accept the distribution arrangement within the scope of the work." Han Chu said as he simply took out a contract, which not only had Ye Shuang's name, but also listed several other people, as well as the remuneration and the rights and obligations of both parties. clear.
Ye Shuang used her good eyesight to focus on her salary. It was only 10,000 a month. After deducting the commission, she was only left with 8,000... No, 8,000 was actually a lot, but she had made too little money in the previous two payments. That's why there is such a huge gap in comparison...
Just as I was thinking about it, I happened to hear Han Chu ask, "Any more questions?"... This was just a routine matter, but An Zining actually responded and pointed the finger at the guy who just came in to talk: "These brothers are more skilled than anyone else." How about Ye Shuang?"
Han Chu: "..."
Crowd: “…”
An Zining was still persistent when he didn't get an answer: "If it's normal, forget it. I might as well give Xiaoshuang a red envelope and let her carry it. Besides, no man can be as close to a woman as he is."
"..." Han Chu turned his head: "Ye Shuang, what do you think?"
"Haha..." (To be continued)
