I've learned that the most powerful people aren't always the ones who yell orders or make big announcements. Most of the time, their power comes from the quiet, completely necessary people who are behind them.
Liang Chen's secretary, Wu Tianyu, was definitely one of those people. Wu Tianyu was more like a quiet architect of Liang Chen's whole life than a secretary. He wasn't just keeping track of the schedule; he was planning it. He often knew what Liang Chen needed before Liang Chen did. I saw his desk, which was a beautifully messy place with papers everywhere, but somehow they were always easy to find. He was the gatekeeper to Liang Chen's precious time, the keeper of countless whispered secrets, and the guy who made sure that Liang Chen's world didn't just stop working. It's hard to picture Liang Chen working at full speed without him, isn't it?
Xu Zemin was Liang Chen's bodyguard and driver. It feels like calling him just an employee is too simple. Xu Zemin was always there for me, but in the most comforting way possible. Xu Zemin was like that person who you know will always have your back, no matter what. He had a quiet strength about him and an unwavering gaze that seemed to look for threats before they even appeared on the horizon. I've seen him drive through the crazy traffic in Bengaluru with the same calmness and accuracy that he would use to guide Liang Chen through a crowded event. Xu Zemin was there for Liang Chen, whether it was a tense business meeting with a lot at stake or a rare moment when he could finally relax. He was the silent guard, making sure Liang Chen was safe and, just as importantly, at ease. Their relationship wasn't just work-related; it was built on years of unspoken trust that felt as solid as rock.
Wu Tianyu and Xu Zemin were the invisible but very important backbone of Liang Chen's powerful empire. While he was out there running boardrooms, making deals, and probably making a lot of money, they were carefully handling the things that weren't visible. They were his early warning system and his strong shield against a world that rarely plays fair. Liang Chen was able to put all of his great intelligence and energy into the problems right in front of him because they were so dedicated to him. You could really feel that commitment. He could do that because he was completely sure that his personal life and his work life were not only well-managed, but also well-protected and run perfectly. They weren't just employees; they were the quiet protectors of his success, two steadfast pillars of loyalty in a world where loyalties change faster than the weather.
