She sighed and decided to make herself a cup of honey lemon when a call from an unknown number dialed in.

Lin Chu was curious and put down the empty cup at hand. It could not be a reply to her resume already, could it?

“Hello,” Lin Chu picked up the call.

Lin Chu’s eyebrows raised in surprise, “Mr. Zuo, how did you get my number?”

“Hoho, it was because when Yao Xingzhi was rude to you, Master Yan specifically requested for me to obtain your number from Jing Wen. If you can’t be found in the company, at least we can personally contact you via your phone,” Zuo Qiu answered calmly with reason. Lin Chu had no reason to doubt him.

She continued asking, “Mr. Zuo, do you need anything from me?”

“It’s like this. Master Yan has not been feeling well since coming back from your house yesterday. He suddenly came down with a fever this morning and Aunt Zhuang, who takes care of Master Yan’s house, is attending her son’s wedding. She’s taken these two days off to go home, so she’s not around. There’s no one taking care of Master Yan at home,” said Zuo Qiu,

Lin Chu winced, “So, what?”

“Hoho. So, I would need Miss Lin to drop by Master Yan’s house,” Zuo Qiu chuckled as he said.

Lin Chu felt like punching him in the face at the sound of his laugh, “This... This seems more convenient if Mr. Zuo were to go over instead of me. I’m not really on familiar terms with Master Yan. Moreover, you have the opportunity to communicate with Master Yan over anything regarding work.”

“It’s like this, I still have work to do today. Many of Master Yan’s schedule is now being handled by me as he is not around. There is a lot of work and meetings that I have to note down on behalf of Master Yan. I can’t really walk away from it. If I were to request for leave days, work will become a mess once Master Yan returns to work. As his assistant, my job is to help Master Yan manage and schedule the different responsibilities,” Zuo Qiu explained sincerely.

Lin Chu gave the matter some thought and said, “Or, maybe you can get a temporary worker or some sort of caregiver?”

Zuo Qiu gave another laugh, “Miss Lin, if this plan were to work, I wouldn’t have approached you. Aunt Zhuang may be up there in years, but she is a certified top butler. One would need to book her two years in advance in order to hire her. She may be working for Master Yan now, but there are always people trying to steal her away. It is very difficult to find an employee who is competent and trustworthy at the same time. Master Yan hates strangers in his home. Temporary workers are easy to find if one isn’t fussy, but to get someone Master Yan doesn’t know to take care of him, would that work? We don’t even know if this worker would be able to work whole-heartedly. Master Yan doesn’t trust any worker besides Aunt Zhuang. Even me, as an assistant, can’t be too casual with him.”

“Anyway, Miss Lin, you can’t really say that you aren’t familiar with Master Yan. He did help you when you had trouble with You Weiwen and Yao Xingzhi, and even fired Yao Xingzhi on the spot for you.”

“...” Lin Chu had thought that it was more of because Yao Xingzhi had seriously damaged the reputation of Yan Hui.

“You can’t just ignore a generous act. This is your chance to express gratitude. Besides, Master Yan is down with a fever because he was completely drenched in cold water while at Miss Lin’s house. Not only is he sick, but this has also affected his work. This has been such a big loss to him. Miss Lin, you can’t escape from this responsibility,” Zuo Qiu sat in the office and yawned. He was careful enough not to let Lin Chu hear it through the phone.
