Chapter 400 Good and Suitable Things Are Hard to Find

After Chen Fanglan finished her tour, she came over and chatted with everyone.

When it's mealtime, neither Shen Xuewei nor Xu Yue are people who like to cook.

Before that, Shen Xuewei did cook often, but that was out of necessity.

Now that she has plenty of money, she has no desire to spend all her time cooking in the kitchen.

Aside from hiring a cleaning lady to clean the house regularly, we rarely cook at home, so we drive out to eat.

After learning that the two of them ate takeout or went out to eat almost every meal, Chen Fanglan scolded them.

"Living in such a big house, yet too lazy to cook, I really don't know what to say to you guys."

"We can't keep eating out all the time. Why don't you just hire a good cook to do the cooking and cleaning? That would be much better than eating out..."

Shen Xuewei leaned back and said helplessly:

"Auntie, do you think I don't want to? But finding a reliable nanny isn't easy, you know? We have to look for one slowly, don't we?"

Does that mean she never looked for him?

I found one when I was in Shanghai.

As a result, the other party had no sense of boundaries and started interfering in her affairs after less than half a month of working with her.

Shen Xuewei felt that the person she had paid to hire was not a nanny or housekeeper, but rather her future mother-in-law.

The saying goes, "Things shouldn't happen more than three times."

When her aunt interfered in her affairs for the third time, Shen Xuewei paid her off and fired her, and hasn't found a suitable replacement yet.

Good nannies are not available on the market.

There are many nannies and housekeepers on the market, but good and suitable ones are hard to find.

She looked at Chen Fanglan and said, "Auntie, why don't you introduce me to someone?"

Chen Fanglan rolled her eyes at her, "Go away, my aunt is just so-so, where am I going to find you a good one... huh?"

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "It seems I do have someone in mind."

Shen Xuewei's eyes lit up.

She had only said it casually, but unexpectedly, she actually had a suitable person here, so she immediately grabbed her hand and asked:

"Auntie, who is it? Who is it? Tell me quickly."

Chen Fanglan hesitated, "She's still working for someone else. But there are some conflicts in that family, things aren't peaceful there, and they always take their anger out on her. She wants to leave, but she's worked there for so many years, and she's reluctant to give it up..."

Shen Xuewei didn't care about all that. Since the aunt hesitated, it meant she didn't want to work for that family anymore. What was wrong with her digging a little?

"Auntie, tell me first, what is this auntie's personality like, how old is she, and where is she from?"

"Don't worry, she has a very good personality. I heard from my neighbor that she's not even 40 yet, and she's worked for them for 13 or 12 years, I think?"

"Anyway, it's been about ten years. He's an amazing cook; I've eaten with him twice before. He's also very quick and efficient..."

The aunt Chen Fanglan mentioned is her neighbor.

The distance between the upstairs and downstairs floors allowed her to come into contact with this aunt a few times.

The aunt was doing a good job, but because the daughter of this family got married, the house was given as part of her dowry.

Her employer then changed from the parents to the current owner of the house.

The homeowner got married, and her husband, along with her parents-in-law, moved in.

Her in-laws are not kind people. They make her do this and that every day, and they are always finding fault with her. They even deduct half a month's salary from her work because they don't do it well.

If the homeowner hadn't disagreed, and even wanted to deduct all of her wages, it would have been fine.

She had worked there for over a decade, endured months of torment, and finally couldn't take it anymore.

Having stayed for over a decade, although I've had thoughts of leaving, I'm still a little reluctant to go.

Upon hearing Chen Fanglan's description, Shen Xuewei began to consider poaching her boyfriend.

"Auntie, please help me out. Could you please try to get in touch with this auntie and arrange a meeting with her?"

"If she's really that good, wouldn't it be perfect for her to be with me? I'm not bragging, but look at my personality, isn't it? And as for salary and benefits, I definitely won't treat her unfairly..."

Shen Xuewei was talking enthusiastically, but Chen Fanglan was thinking that the other person was her upstairs or downstairs neighbor.

If she digs into other people's aunts behind their backs like this, and it gets discovered later, won't she be cursed to death?

When she expressed this concern, Shen Xuewei's face showed full disapproval.

"Who said you poached Auntie? I poached her! It's not like she went to your house, she came to my house, okay?"

"Besides, it was that family who treated Auntie badly first. Since Auntie was going to leave anyway, it didn't matter where she went, so she might as well come here. In any case, I'm doing a good deed, and both sides benefit..."

When Shen Xuewei got into a verbal battle, Chen Fanglan was no match for her.

After being persuaded by Shen Xuewei's words, Chen Fanglan followed her lead and nodded in agreement.

Shen Xuewei chartered a small yacht to dine on board, enjoy a night cruise on the river, sing karaoke, and relax.

Xu Yue is more lively than Shen Xuewei, and she gets along well with Chen Fanglan.

After they finished eating, the two of them took a microphone and started howling like madmen in the karaoke room on the bottom floor of the yacht.

Shen Xuewei took a look, sighed, and came back.

Zhao Xiannan came to her side, put his hands on the railing, admired the scenery in front of him, and asked Shen Xuewei about Xu Yue's information.

"Weiwei, is that Miss Xu also from Italy?"

"Yes, she's from Italy, but she doesn't go back there often."

"Oh, I see... We're all from the same place. I just added her on WeChat. We can chat more when we have time. We're from the same hometown, so we should keep in touch."

His conversation revolved entirely around Xu Yue, and his eyes kept glancing at Xu Yue as she sang karaoke.

Shen Xuewei saw the eager hunting intent in his eyes and understood his meaning perfectly.

"Brother Xiannan," she called out to Zhao Xiannan with some seriousness.

Zhao Xiannan was taken aback, meeting her serious gaze. "What's wrong?"

Shen Xuewei turned around and leaned her back against the railing.

"Xu Yue isn't an ordinary person; she's my best friend. For the sake of our long-standing friendship, please don't provoke her, okay?"

Zhao Xiannan was a playboy who had countless girlfriends, a fact that even Zhao Fang'er didn't know.

He has a hundred or even a thousand ways to pursue women. He is young, rich, and generous, and few women can resist his charm.

Judging from his current appearance, he is clearly interested in Xu Yue.

How he pursues other women is his business, and Shen Xuewei has no say in it. However, she doesn't want him to use those same tricks on Xu Yue.

Zhao Xiannan had always treated Shen Xuewei as his own sister and did not want to break off relations with her because of this matter.

He withdrew his gaze from Xu Yue.

"Since she's your best friend, she's also my sister. As her brother, I naturally wouldn't have any ulterior motives towards her. Weiwei, don't worry."
