The Wife Is A Superstar 8

Chapter 1415 Level of Productivity

The new assistant gasped and became teary-eyed. "I didn't think that you'll remember me, Boss."

"Of course, I remember you." Jennie took a sip from her cup of tea. "I've seen you a couple of times supporting me in the audience when I attended some talk shows before I took hiatus from showbiz."

The new assistant became even more excited and pledged her undying loyalty to Jennie.

"I originally wanted to apply to Orchidia, but my college mentor knows your father, President Kim, and recommended me to work for you as your new assistant here at Kim Industries instead. It's very sudden and I only got the call last night, but I immediately accepted the job. I hope that you can depend on me like how you depend on Brother Jae."

"Please take care of me, then," Jennie said with a sincere smile.

The new assistant beamed.

Now that Jennie knew that her new assistant was a Black Star, her initial misgiving about the person's apparent timidity disappeared. She didn't stand on ceremony and immediately assigned some tasks to this new assistant of hers.

In the meantime, Louis also worked fast and gathered background information about the young woman. Jennie read through it and couldn't help but nod in approval.

The young woman's education was quite impressive. Top three of her entire batch in university. Not bad.

Jennie didn't think that working as her assistant was a downgrade for a new graduate with good prospects. As long as the young woman could prove herself, then Jennie would give her better opportunities to climb the corporate ladder in the future.

This was only the first day.

Black Star or not, Jennie intended to test her new assistant's abilities. If she was reliable, then she would keep her. If not, then she would let her go. Simple as that.

Nevertheless, the background information that Louis gathered showed that the new assistant was quite promising. Her background was also clean.

Only time would tell if the young woman would be able to satisfy Jennie.

"Jae, show her the ropes about how I want things done," she instructed.

"No problem, Boss!" Jae gave her an okay sign with his fingers.

Jennie returned to her own tasks.

The CMO and the others might not believe in her abilities yet, but she was satisfied with this job appointment. Only a fool would reject Jihoon's goodwill of directly appointing her as the Deputy Chief Marketing Officer.

Jihoon didn't assign her this position just for the sake of giving her a job title with actual power. He actually thought it through.

She was a celebrity.

What better way to utilize her fame than to assign her to the Marketing Department?

This way, she would be able to perform well and show results quickly.

Jennie understood Jihoon's thought process. Even though she didn't need such careful consideration because she was confident about her abilities, she still felt a little touched. Just a little bit.

"Louis, ask your dad to recommend a bottle of alcohol to gift your Grandpa Kim," she instructed her oldest cat AI son.

"Aye, aye, Mommy! Meow~"

Not even a minute later, Lisa directly called her.

"Happy with the arrangement there?" he asked in his low, sexy voice.

Her lips curled into a smile. "Yes."

"Good to hear. Don't worry about the alcohol. I'll take care of it and personally choose a good one from our wine cellar at home. Jihoon is still my father-in-law, after all. I'll have to also thank him for taking care of my wife this time."

Jennie chuckled. "Alright, I'll leave it to you, then."

The husband and wife chatted for a couple more minutes before hanging up to focus on their own respective work.

###

Jennie started coming to Kim Industries and working there for a few hours every day. She didn't care about other people's criticisms of her not following the company's office hours, both regular and overtime hours.

All she cared about was completing the tasks assigned to her by her direct superior, the Chief Marketing Officer. If not for the need to interact with other people and show her presence in the company, she wouldn't even bother going to the company in person every day and just complete the work remotely at home.

But this was an important period for her to extend her influence at Kim Industries. Whether she liked it or not, showing up in person at the office was necessary for her plans.

Others thought that her showing up at the company for only a couple of hours each day was a sign that she was slacking off. She could hear people gossiping about her.

They were complaining about how unfair it was for them to work regular hours and even overtime, but she would only show up for a couple of hours or so at most.

Jennie only shrugged at their grievances. They could only see what they wanted to see.

They didn't see that in the short couple of hours or so that she was at the office, she completed more tasks than they could finish in a couple of weeks. They couldn't match her level of productivity even if they tried.

Besides, all this time, she wasn't just working for Kim Industries. She also had her own businesses, not to mention that she was still working on her collaboration with her music mentor, Enrique Valdez, in preparation for her showbiz comeback.

Most importantly, she was also a new mother who couldn't bear to leave her babies for too long.

There were also other miscellaneous tasks that needed her attention.

If those criticizing her could only see what her typical day looked like, they might vomit and even collapse from exhaustion just imagining it.

To Jennie, however, every day felt very fulfilling instead.

She already completed the big tasks that Kim Industries' CMO assigned her—the marketing plans.

Her husband, Lisa, also helped provide some useful and practical suggestions.

She was only waiting for the day to present them on the deadline. She didn't want to appear too eager to prove herself to the company by presenting it earlier than the agreed date. She was biding her time before striking.
