People with certain assets usually hire a full-time staff to take care of the chores of life for themselves to save their energy.
In a famous family, this is called a housekeeper, but if a wealthy individual needs only an assistant.
Although the two seem to have some similarities, they actually have very significant differences.
Also in the service industry, people who can be housekeepers are usually proficient in more professional knowledge. There are even professional butler colleges in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. A butler who is only qualified through education can get hundreds of thousands of dollars. The annual salary, outstanding ones can even reach one million, easily defeating countless seemingly glamorous white-collar workers in first-tier cities.
For example, they know the collection and identification of cigars and famous wines, are proficient in etiquette, maintenance of clothing and furniture, know how to arrange and prepare a small banquet, how to manage the work of dispatching domestic servants, and even manage finances for the owner, take care of the family business, etc. ... All of these require a lot of professional skills and basic literacy. A qualified housekeeper can even be regarded as a middle-class nobleman.
Compared with the assistant, no matter from every aspect, it is very different...
"Ye Shuang? You came so early?!" An Zining didn't seem to wake up when he received a call from Ye Shuang who was blocked at the gate of the community. He yawned in a vague voice while casually assigning tasks. For the matter of using an assistant It was very smooth, without any politeness or unnaturalness at all: "Just before you came, help me go to the dry cleaner opposite the community to get my clothes back, and then turn to Cantonese Restaurant to buy breakfast... Oh, by the way, when I came back, I was waiting for you at the doorman. I also picked up today's newspaper and milk there."
After a series of instructions, before Ye Shuang had time to answer, the other party hung up the phone directly. Ye Shuang waited silently for a long while facing the doorman next to him, and then called back with a depressed face.
After the waiting tone lasted twice, the other person picked up again: "Is there anything else?"
"...First of all, I don't have the laundry list, and I don't have an access card so I can't enter your house. Finally, I just asked the next generation how to get reimbursed for breakfast?" Ye Shuang lined black.
An Zining was probably being asked so many questions that she didn't know which one to answer first, or maybe no one had asked her about the breakfast reimbursement so bluntly. 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 come to my house first."
... So ten minutes later, Ye Shuang finally entered the community smoothly and sat on the sofa in An Zining's new home, not forgetting to bring the milk and newspaper ordered by the other party.
"I'm actually very talkative, and I don't pay much attention to ostentation, so you don't need to be too tense to be my assistant." After washing his face, An Zining turned on the milk and started communicating with Ye Shuang before work, even breakfast I went to buy it, and baked two slices of bread directly at this time: "In principle, the working hours are from 10 am to 6 pm. Depending on the situation, there may be overtime work and no rest day, because I don't need to work, and I hired a life assistant. But if I call you and say I don’t want to come, even if you are on vacation that day, don’t actively ask to come, because if you don’t want to come, it means that I need personal time, and if you come, it will violate my privacy... "
Ye Shuang was a little speechless, she was completely inexperienced as a life assistant, so now she could only listen obediently.
"There is money in the left drawer 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 helpers for cooking and sanitation. In principle, you have nothing specific to be responsible for, but there are all problems in my life You are responsible for everything. For example, when I eat, you refill, when I go shopping, you take the bag, when I shop, you pay, and when I take a shower, you put the water... Forget it this time, next time, don’t let me bake bread by myself." An Zining After thinking about it, he bit his bread and forced a metaphor: "Have you seen the pony next to the boss on TV? What you do is similar to that."
"Hehe..." I'm so tired, I feel like I won't love again...
Ye Shuang now has every reason to believe that Han Chu had no good intentions at all when he arranged for him to be an assistant.
This kind of thing can be solved by just finding a nanny or a housekeeping company, so why even send out a headhunter? !
How did she know that what she received was originally a complete set of commissions from a studio, and domestic assistants were incidental services, usually used as interns when the elderly brought newcomers, so that people could gain experience as trainees from the sidelines, the key headhunters were mainly bodyguards and lawyers Wait for professionals.
It's just because of the appointment of a related household like Ye Shuang, that's why Han Chu picked up this position forcibly. Specially looking for some professionals.
"In addition, Xiao Han probably told you that he will bring other staff members over in the afternoon. Please communicate in advance so that you don't run into my other itineraries." While Ye Shuang was distracted, An Zining ordered the explanation, and said casually As a matter of course, he explained the first job.
"Sister An's original itinerary?!" Ye Shuang asked after returning to her senses.
An Zining thought for a while: "I haven't decided yet. It's really boring to get divorced without even arresting the mistress. Why don't you help me think about it?!"
"Hehe..." Really tired...
The whole morning passed while Ye Shuang was getting used to work. Apart from going out to help An Zining pick up the laundry and calling Han Chu to ask when he was coming, Ye Shuang basically had nothing else to do. matter.
For the rest of the time, she just accompanied An Zining when he was watching TV, just as the other party said, doing things like pouring drinks and cutting fruits. Apart from that, if there were no other special orders, basically Ye Shuang would You can play on your own... As long as you don't make too much noise to disturb the boss, she can sit on the sofa next to her and watch TV.
At lunch time, I ordered takeaway directly. Although Ye Shuang had already lighted up her culinary skills, she didn't plan to add extra workload to herself. Anyway, Han Chu would bring her private chef over in the afternoon anyway. Why would she go grab a professional? rice bowl? !
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the doorbell rang on time, An Zining was still watching a variety show on TV, when he heard the ringtone, he just raised his eyelids and didn't say a word, Ye Shuang, who had been educated in the morning, went to open the door very consciously.
"Adjusted well?" The door opened, Han Chu stood outside with a few people behind him, and greeted Ye Shuang casually when he saw Ye Shuang.
Ye Shuang simply didn't know how to answer this sentence. Speaking of it, the job was actually quite easy, and the pay was probably good, but it was completely different from the high-end atmosphere she imagined: "... not bad, please come in."
Han Chu nodded, and called the others to change their shoes and come in without saying much.
In addition to the Han Chu whom Ye Shuang knew, there were four other people who came with him this time, three men and one woman. When they walked in, each of them unconsciously gave Ye Shuang an extra look, as if they wanted to snatch them away. An outsider in one location.
Of course, everyone has a good attitude, and they didn’t treat Ye Shuang coldly because of a job transfer. Only the tall man who was walking at the end paused when he passed by Ye Shuang, frowned and said: "Next time you hear the doorbell If so, it is best to check and ask about the identity of the other party before opening the door. In case a bad person wants to harm the people in the house, you, a girl, just stand at the door without being more vigilant, and it is easy to be hijacked and used."
Ye Shuang: "..." Damn it, a divorced widow who would come here to harm her, could it be that the mistress hired a murderer to silence her and get on top? !
I thought so, but Ye Shuang also guessed that the extremely vigilant buddies were probably bodyguards, so he cooperated very well and led them inside without talking nonsense.
On the other hand, after An Zining heard these words, he was finally willing to separate his attention from the TV show. He looked at Ye Shuang, who was extraordinarily weak and pleasant, and then at the bodyguard with a rather intimidating figure, and then looked up at Han Chule: "Xiao Han, the people you bring are really funny."
"..." Where is the joke? !
Han Chu looked at An Zining in a completely incomprehensible way, and looked away, and introduced directly: "This is the hunting talent brought in this time. The private chef, bodyguards, and lawyers have confirmed that they are in place... the one with the most is the one brought by the studio." It’s not worth the money, just let him follow along…”
Ye Shuang noticed that when Han Chu said this, the other three people subconsciously focused their eyes on him.
... Seeing this, it seems that my current assistant position should belong to someone else? !
"... four people live in the next-door suite you provided. If necessary, you can just call someone. The employment agreement is 30 days. Except for bodyguards and assistants, other people are not obliged to accompany you out. Lawyers and private chefs are only I will accept the distribution arrangement within the scope of work." Han Chu said as he simply took out a contract, which not only included Ye Shuang's name, but also listed several other people, including the remuneration, the rights and obligations of both parties, etc. clear.
Relying on her good eyesight, Ye Shuang focused on her salary. It was only 10,000 a month, and only 8,000 was left after deducting the commission... No, 8,000 is already a lot, but the two previous sums of money she earned were too simple. So there is such a huge gap in comparison...
Just as he was thinking, he happened to hear Han Chu ask, "What's the problem?"... Originally, this was just a matter of routine, but An Zining actually responded, and pointed the finger at the guy who came in to talk to him just now: "This brother is more skilled than you." How is Ye Shuang?"
Han Chu: "..."
Audience: "..."
An Zining was quite persistent when he didn't get an answer: "It's fine if it's normal, I might as well give Xiaoshuang a red envelope so she can carry it easily, and besides, a man can't be as close as a woman."
"..." Han Chu turned his head: "Ye Shuang, what do you think?"
"hehe… "
