An He

Biodata

Background / History

An He learned judo and sanda as a child because her father worried about her safety when she eventually went out into the world on her own 29.

Following a recent divorce, she lived alone with her daughter and became a driver under financial pressure. Although her work experience would have led many large companies to reject her, Jin Xia valued the responsibility she showed in raising her child alone 6.

Jin Xia hired An He after purchasing an Alphard and asked her to use “Xia” rather than “Miss Jin Xia” 5. Their relationship soon extended beyond employment: An He described them as friends, while Jin Xia wanted her and her daughter to have a stable home 9.

Personality

An He is conscientious and punctual. She arrives precisely on time, offers to help carry Jin Xia’s university luggage, and readily takes on errands outside her original driving duties. Jin Xia also considers her principled and careful about respecting boundaries, noting that she rarely interferes in her employer’s affairs 21 25 30.

She is uncomfortable accepting unusually generous payments. When Jin Xia gives her a 300,000-yuan commission, she tries to return it, saying that she has only done a small favor and already received undeserved praise. She accepts only after Jin Xia insists, then tearfully promises her loyalty 9.

Her concern for Jin Xia is both protective and practical. She offers to confront someone troubling her, checks on her after a police-station visit, and prepares homemade soup after anticipating that her period is approaching 29 48.
