Chapter 62 An Invitation from Yi Cheng

Zhang Jie quickly stood up: "Miss Shi."

"Aunt Zhang, you've practically watched me grow up, so just call me Shi Shi. Let's order ourselves."

Zhang Jie didn't agree immediately, but said, "Then I'll call you Teacher Shi. Such a young university teacher, and your whole family is amazing!"

"Alright."

"Teacher Shi, could you please tell me about your job responsibilities?"

Shi Shi nodded: "I won't be moving for the next few months. You can just do cleaning and laundry. I'll eat lunch at the school cafeteria. You can prepare two meals a day. My mom will be bringing me a dog soon, and I'll need to walk it, feed it, and bathe it occasionally. Because I'm very busy with work, I hope to get a good rest when I get home each night. That's all for now. We'll talk about the rest after I move." Shi Shi understood that the workload would be for the villa by then. Aunt Zhang's work definitely wouldn't be the same as it is now.

Zhang Jie considered Shi Shi's words. Everything else was easy; walking the dog wasn't a problem either, since she needed to go downstairs every day to buy groceries and take out the trash. Walking the dog was just a convenient task. The only thing she needed to be careful about was finishing all the noisy work during the day so as not to disturb anyone at night. Zhang Jie was very satisfied with this job; there were no sick elderly people or school-aged children. Moreover, the employer was only one person working. Taking time off to see her son wouldn't be too difficult either.

"I'm fine with everything on my end. I can start work anytime."

Shi Shi smiled at her and said, "You can't just ignore my salary because we're old acquaintances. Aren't you afraid I won't pay you and you'll work for free?"

“I’d be happy to work for your family even without pay.”

She has high emotional intelligence, no wonder her parents like her so much! Otherwise, there are so many unfortunate people, and Kong Pan wouldn't care about her so much.

"A monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, with 4 days off per month. You can take all the days off together or separately as long as I finish my work. If you need to take more leave, it will be deducted from your daily wage. Whether you stay at my place after work each night is up to you. I'll also transfer 10,000 yuan to you for household expenses. The water, electricity, internet, groceries, and household supplies will all be covered by this. You can continue using the same brands as before; there's no need to change them. Keep the receipts safe. We'll reconcile the accounts once a month. What do you think?"

Although the salary isn't much in Kyoto's nanny circle, the job is easy! This little bit of work is nothing to Zhang Jie. Taking care of herself and her son is much more tiring, and she doesn't get paid for that! Most importantly, the hours are flexible, so she has time to see her child.

She'd worked for other families before, earning 15,000 yuan a month. But she'd have to go to the morning market at 5 a.m. to buy cheap vegetables, then prepare breakfast for the whole family. After the employer ate and went to work, she not only had to take the children to school but also rush back to do housework. She'd clean up the entire house, upstairs and downstairs. Then it was time to pick up the children from school. She'd still have to prepare a late-night snack for the family around 9 or 10 p.m. By the time she finished, it was almost midnight. How could she possibly take care of the children with such a workload?! With Shi Shi's workload, people would be scrambling to hire her for 8,000 yuan a month! After all, even college graduates working in offices might not earn 8,000 yuan a month!

“Teacher Shi, you’ve thought of everything very carefully. I haven’t thought of anything else yet.”

Shi Shi nodded: "Feel free to add anything you think of. By the way, are you available to come to work tomorrow?"

"Of course! Just tell me your house code. I'll come over after I buy groceries tomorrow and walk right in. You can sleep in a little longer."

Shi Shi transferred the money to Aunt Zhang and gave her the password. She thought that once the conversation was over, Aunt Zhang would go home.

"You go ahead with your work. I'll go to the kitchen to familiarize myself with the appliances and things, so I won't be scrambling around first thing tomorrow morning."

Shi Shi was satisfied with her attitude. She nodded and went to take a bath. Her feet were so sore from a long day.

"A bathtub with a massage function is so comfortable," Shi Shi sighed contentedly. Her leisure time, of course, was spent scrolling through short videos. A green bubble chimed twice, and she was redirected to the chat interface.

Yi Cheng: "Sis! I'm rich! My flight to Kyoto is tomorrow, please let me treat you to a meal to repay your kindness!"

Shi Shi replied with an "OK," and said, "See you tomorrow."

Less than two minutes later, Yi Cheng sent another message: "Sis, do you mind if I bring another one? I'm 2.8 meters tall online, but only 1.5 meters tall offline. I'm afraid I'll have an awkward silence if we meet alone." He added a shy emoji afterward.

Shi Shi's poems are just outrageous.

Who are you bringing?

Yi Cheng was probably watching her chat window and replied quickly: "It's that friend who recommended me to the Crossover Joyful Voice show, the internet celebrity Jingjingzi with millions of followers."

It's a bit awkward for the man and woman to meet, especially since they're not familiar with each other. Bringing another girl along would be nice.

Shi Shi agreed.

On the other side

Zi Jing, abandoning her online goddess image, gave Yi Cheng a hard punch. Even though her thigh wasn't as thick as Yi Cheng's arm, she still managed to make him stumble.

"Quick, let me see if she agreed."

Yi Cheng said angrily, "Zi Jing! Do you have any manners? If you keep being so violent, let's see if you'll ever get married!"

"Stop talking nonsense, give me the phone!" Zi Jing snatched his phone away, and seeing that Shi Shi had already agreed, she immediately beamed with joy.

"Yay! I get to meet my goddess tomorrow! What should I wear?"

"It doesn't matter what you wear."

“If you dare to act tough with me again, believe me, I’ll throw you out of the house tomorrow,” Zi Jing threatened.

Sure enough, Yi Cheng instantly turned into a pitiful puppy: "Don't take it personally, but you have to take me with you tomorrow, otherwise my dad won't let me go out."

After Yi Cheng sang "As Long As I Have You," he gained some popularity again. However, Yi's parents didn't want their son to be in the entertainment industry. So, he went back to his life in the industry. Jingjing Ziyuan, also known as Zijing, was his college classmate. This time, she pretended to be his girlfriend and helped him escape from home. Besides, since they were dating, they couldn't let their son be penniless, right? So, Yi Cheng's cut-off allowance was restored.

"If I don't show my power, you really won't know who the king is. Hmph, Little Yi, go make me some tea."

Yi Cheng, though angry, went out to get some water and happened to run into his mother, who was wearing a face mask.

Yi's mother asked curiously, "What's wrong with you? You look so angry."

Yi Cheng was afraid of letting something slip, after all, her mother was practically a police dog. She only vaguely said, "She insisted that I pour her tea!"

After he finished speaking, Yi's mother looked at him with a "Are you alright?" expression. The fact that her son, who's like that, can find a girlfriend shows how low the quality of this generation of boys really is!
