The little assistant is a junior staff member in Zhou Songyan’s office. He knocks and enters to inform Zhou that Ji Yunshan has invited him to dinner. He immediately notices the tense atmosphere between Zhou and Li Mai and speaks timidly. Zhou Songyan snaps at him, dismissing the invitation with a harsh “No time!” The assistant quickly retreats. This character illustrates the high‑pressure environment within Rongzheng Group and Zhou’s short‑tempered mood. He is a nameless subordinate whose brief interaction reveals the boss’s irritability and the rigid hierarchy of the corporate culture.
