The resources of society always tended to gather in the hands of the wealthy . This was undeniable .
This applied to women as well . Outstanding women would naturally choose successful men . Since ancient times, beautiful ladies were paired with heroes and men with talent, never with losers . Even if one had Wu Tailang's life, one would never be blessed enough to enjoy such treatment .
Qin Sheng had seen many wealthy men who kept women outside, sometimes not just one or two . To them, women were merely by-products that came with money and power . When they had both of these, women would naturally flock to them . After all, this was a materialistic society .
However, Qin Sheng had never seen a wife and a mistress staying under the same roof . At most, the wife would either allow the husband to fool around outside but not to bring home any women . Otherwise, she would live separately from her husband . The wife would tend to value status over their relationship and would keep her eyes on the mistress .
Hence, Qin Sheng was full of admiration for Mr . Cao for handling the two ladies' relationship so well . This was not something a normal person could achieve .
"Let me introduce you . This is the new member of the family, Qin Sheng, my special assistant . In the future, you guys can look for him if you need anything related to the family," Cao Da explained . He naturally had a secret intention . He wanted to make his children interact with Qin Sheng more . This way, as time passed, they would develop relationships with each other and Qin Sheng would more or less not forget them .
However, Qin Sheng was very surprised that Cao Da would introduce him as a new member . It seemed like he was going to be very busy taking care of their family matters . Qin Sheng felt so tired that he had no more energy to take care of someone else .
The others initially thought that he was just an ordinary person . They had not expected him to be Cao Da's special assistant . They subconsciously lifted up their heads to study him from head to toe . The son and eldest daughter looked like they had yet to wake up and had no intention of caring about Qin Sheng . After taking a glance at him, they continued to eat and play on their phones .
However, the youngest daughter, who wore a white one-piece, took an egg and ran up to Qin Sheng with smiling eyes . She passed it to him and said, "Brother Qin Sheng, have an egg . ”
Cao Da caressed the little girl's head . She was always full of strange ideas . He laughed and said, "Our Yu'er is the most sensible one!”
Cao Da's second wife was very pretty . She had just entered her 30s . She had become his lover during her university days and then gotten pregnant and given birth to his youngest daughter . This was how she had been accepted into the Cao household by the first wife . She had never left ever since .
When Cao Da was around, the two wives got along well . However, there was bound to be awkwardness, since their relationship was special .

The second wife smiled at Qin Sheng and nodded . The first wife did not say anything . She was not qualified to be brought to the table .
The first wife finally snapped back to reality and quickly welcomed him . "Qin Sheng, come and sit quickly! Have you eaten breakfast? Auntie Wu, add a set of tableware . ”
The second wife, who knew better, got up to let Qin Sheng sit beside Cao Da . She made her youngest daughter move a seat over . An ordinary woman would not have an eye for such things .
Qin Sheng felt a little awkward . He did not know how to address Cao Da's first and second wive . If there had only been one of them, he could have just called her 'Auntie' .
Cao Da's first wife saw that he was in a dilemma . After all, she'd had her fair share of such incidents . Thus, she said, "You can just call me First Auntie and call her Second Auntie . ”
Qin Sheng greeted them respectfully . "First Auntie, Second Auntie . ”
"Dig in," Cao Da said casually . The others stopped talking and lowered their heads as they began eating their breakfast . Qin Sheng had his meal, feeling helpless .
It was already past 8 am by the time they were done with breakfast . Cao Da had a designated driver who was a standard retired soldier . He had been with Cao Da for many years already, but there was nothing special about him .
The Cao family was big, so there were six cars in total . Cao Da had an Infiniti QX80 and a Mercedes-Benz S600L . The first wife owned a standard Audi A7, and the second wife had a Porsche 911 . His son owned an eye-catching Ferrari, and the family had an ordinary nanny van . Hence, it was not necessarily a good thing to have a big family . Actually, it was a waste of money .
Cao Da's Yuanda Holding Company was located in the Euro America Center in Huanglong CBD . Other than the entertainment industry, his company was also involved in food and beverage, audio-visual, finance, medicine, and export trade . Even so, he was not one of the richest people in Hangzhou . There was a number of people with net worth more than 10 billion .
"Do you know how to drive?" Cao Da asked casually as he read the news from the backseat .

Qin Sheng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, answered, "Yes . "
"Lao Li, get the logistics department to arrange a car for Qin Sheng," Cao Da ordered the driver . The dutiful driver nodded silently . He was basically a man of no words . He only nodded at Qin Sheng as a form of greeting and did not say a single word .
No one spoke a word during the whole ride . Bosses usually had a high profile, so they would not talk to their drivers like they would with their friends . Qin Sheng paid attention to the route and the scenery on the way . He did not even look down at his phone .
The Euro America Center (EAC) building was one of the more well-known buildings in Hangzhou's CBD . This area was filled with big companies that everyone knew of . Cao Da's company's headquarters were located here, while the branches were nearby .
After arriving at the Euro America Center, Cao Da led Qin Sheng straight to the company . He had already notified the day before that they would have a meeting that day . Hence, all the people in charge of the branches and entertainment centers were present .
Qin Sheng slowly understood Cao Dao, even though he was still half-sure about this job as a special assistant . After arriving at Cao Da's company's headquarters, he finally realized that this man was not simple . Just the headquarters alone occupied an entire floor .
The entrance of Yuanda Holding Company was very welcoming . There were three beautiful receptionists . The company was very modern, unlike the old-fashioned enterprise Qin Sheng had imagined it to be . Luckily, he was dressed formally . Otherwise, he would have seemed like the odd one out here .
Cao Da's secretary was waiting at the entrance for his arrival with lots of documents in her hand . She started to brief Cao Da on today's agenda, things to handle, etc . While walking, the staff members that they met all lowered their heads and greeted Cao Da respectfully . Qin Sheng followed closely behind, feeling everyone's greeting gazes . He was very used to this kind of situation . Everyone was guessing who this young man behind their boss was .
When they entered the Chairman's office, the classy secretary, who had just entered her 30s, was still talking . She looked very experienced based on what she said and the things she did . Otherwise, she would not have been able to be the secretary of the boss of an enterprise like this .
Cao Da had three secretaries, but this beautiful lady called Yu Qian was the main person in charge . She had been with Cao Da for four to five years already . She was very experienced in her work and Cao Da liked and appreciated her a lot .
"Xiao Yu, this is my new special assistant . His name is Qin Sheng . You guys should take some time to get to know one another, for you'll be contacting each other quite regularly . Later on, take him to fill in the employment paperwork . When I'm not here, you can just contact him directly," Cao Da said casually . However, his last words had already cleared up everything . Yu Qian immediately took note of this young man's importance .

Yu Qian put the documents in her hand onto the office desk . Then, she turned to Qin Sheng and took the initiative to put out her hand . She smiled gently as she said, "Hello, I am Yu Qian . Nice to meet you . "
Qin Sheng did the same and said, "It's my first time here . I hope that Sister Yu will take care of me in the future . "
It was a quick handshake that lasted for a very short time . She did not even give him the chance to take advantage of her . However, Qin Sheng could still feel the woman's smooth skin .
"Are all the representatives from the other branches and department managers here already?" Cao Da asked as he took a cup of tea that was passed to him by another secretary .
Yu Qian frowned slightly and said, "Other than Mr . Qian from Meili Jinzuo and Mr . Sun from the audio-visual company, the rest are already waiting in the meeting room . "
"Why didn't they come?" Cao Da was very puzzled .
Yu Qian explained truthfully, "Mr . Qian said that he drank too much last night while hosting some VIPs, so he won't be coming today . Mr . Sun went to Hengdian to start filming and won't be able to rush back . "
A trace of anger flashed cross Cao Da's eyes . However, he replied without a change in his voice, "Okay, I got it . Let's start the meeting . "
One hand holding onto the teacup, Cao Da led Yu Qian towards the meeting room . At the same time, he motioned for Qin Sheng to follow along . On the way there, everyone felt that Cao Da seemed different . He was full of a deadly aura . After all, during the past year, he had basically come once a week for the meeting on Monday mornings . He had not been at the company at any other time, let alone held a meeting on a Friday . Why had he gathered all the leaders of the branches and various departments? What kind of show was he putting on?
The ginormous meeting room was already filled with people . Anyone who ought to be present was already here . They were all discussing what was going on . What would make Big Boss want to hold a meeting on a Friday?
When the doors to the meeting room were pushed open, everyone looked at the door . When they saw Big Boss, whom they had not seen for several days, they all stood up at the same time . They then noticed Qin Sheng, who walked in closely behind, and could not help but ponder .
After walking to his seat, Cao Da looked up, scanned their faces, and said calmly, "Firstly, I would like to introduce a new colleague to everyone . This is my new special assistant, Qin Sheng . Please give him a round of applause . "
What did he mean?
Everyone had a shocked expression on their faces . They were very surprised, as they did not understand why Cao Da would suddenly hire a special assistant and introduce him to all of the executives . What was this for?
Qin Sheng could not be bothered to think about their responses . He bowed slightly before everyone and did not say anything unnecessary or courteous . Cao Da had told him to be a wolf, so Cao Da already knew what kind of role he was playing . He had to make this bunch of people fear him and clear all obstacles for Cao Da's son, Cao Zhang .
When Yu Qian saw that no one was clapping, she started clapping herself . The rest then snapped back from their thoughts and quickly applauded and welcomed Qin Sheng's addition .
When the applause started to die out, Cao Da motioned for them to stop . Satisfied, he said, "You all know that ever since I fell critically ill two years ago, I started to slowly let go of the company's matters . During the past year, I rarely came to the office and basically handed everything to Mr . Zhou . In order to lessen his workload and stress, I have decided to return to the company . "
After he said those words, a number of faces fell . They realized that the sky was turning dark . For the past two years, a number of them had been squandering their pockets and embezzling the company's profits . The management had been very loose . Otherwise, the company would not have been in a standstill . However, the Big Boss was coming back, so they would have to be careful now .
Cao Da quickly added, "Although I may have the intention, I might not have the ability to do so . I don't have that much energy, so I made Qin Sheng my special assistant . In the future, if you have anything to report to me, you can contact Qin Sheng directly . I will ask him to report everything to me and not bother Mr . Zhou anymore . "
The eyes of the man seated in the first seat on Cao Da's left wandered when he said this . He was unsure what the boss meant . Did he not trust him, or was this a routine practice?
The others also started whispering and discussing among themselves in lowered voices .
Cao Da did not care . He pointed to a seat nearby that probably belonged to the absent Mr . Qian or Mr . Sun and said, "Qin Sheng, you can sit there first . "
He then turned towards the others and said, "Let's start the meeting now . "
