100,000/Hour Professional Stand-in Chapter 75.3: Why Do It If You’re Going to Regret It? (3)

Ji Fanyin’s new assistant was more competent than she had thought. He had planned out her schedule flawlessly, leaving nothing for her to complain about. Even when there was a seemingly irreconcilable clash in schedule, he was somehow able to settle things effectively with just a few calls.
