While others struggle to survive in the wasteland, Wei Lun, a modern man, enjoys fresh vegetables, an endless supply of beef and mutton, and piles of snacks.

He can freely travel back and for...

Chapter 11 Hire a Maid!

Wei Lun stood up from the sofa, walked straight out of the yard, and headed towards the supermarket at the entrance of the residential complex.

Those foods without labels are for others to eat. Wei Lun dotes on Qin Meimei, so naturally he needs to buy her some fine food.

There was a Walmart supermarket right outside, so I bought chocolate, wafers, potato chips, and cola as soon as I entered. I also picked out some fresh pork and then a self-heating hot pot. Because the jade pendant's space could keep things fresh, Wei Lun wasn't worried about it expiring at all.

After testing, a vegetable leaf placed inside looked exactly the same after two days.

After finishing my shopping, I also bought a lot of pure iodine from another store to put inside my smartwatch to protect it from radiation.

Wei Lun carried the bags home, then stored them all in the dark jade pendant's spatial storage.

The thought that he was only focused on buying things and no one was taking care of him made Wei Lun feel like he was being treated too unfairly.

In order to live a happy life, Wei Lun decided to hire a maid to serve him. That way, he wouldn't forget to eat, and someone would take care of his new home. When he had money in the future, he could just buy the villa.

She took out her phone and posted a job ad on a website: "Shocking! Urgently seeking a maid, monthly salary 10,000! Must be able to cook! Good appearance and temperament!"

It was just posted online, and many people saw it, with varying opinions.

"Holy crap, a monthly salary of ten thousand just to hire a maid? That's incredibly extravagant!"

"That's higher than my manager's salary? That's outrageous!"

"Wow, I happen to be studying culinary arts, I have to sign up and give it a try!"

...

Within ten minutes of posting the ad, people started calling one after another. Wei Lun simply asked them to send their resumes to WeChat.

I looked through each resume one by one, and after screening more than a dozen resumes,

Wei Lun finally saw a very elegant girl named Zhao Xiang, 21 years old, who happened to be majoring in catering. So he hired her and had her come to work at the garden villa that Wei Lun bought.

When Zhao Xiang received the job offer from Wei Lun, she almost jumped for joy. Her boss told her to go to work, so she immediately started getting dressed and hurried to the garden villa.

With nothing to do, Wei Lun started scrolling through his WeChat Moments. One post caught his attention, accompanied by a selfie.

"We all yearn to be loved, but we don't realize that we shouldn't ask for anything in return for every act of giving. Separation is also a new beginning. Let's cherish each other."

Isn't this Chu Ruoruo's WeChat? What's going on? Did they break up?

Chu Ruoruo, Wei Lun's ex-girlfriend, has an exceptionally beautiful face, a standard oval face, curved willow-leaf eyebrows, big eyes, and cherry lips. The two dated during college and broke up after graduation. Wei Lun didn't feel particularly sorry for her, but she was his first love after all, so he still had some lingering attachment to her. Even though they were no longer boyfriend and girlfriend, Wei Lun still cared about her.

Wei Lun commented below: "What's wrong, are you single?"

Chu Ruoruo didn't reply on WeChat, but instead sent a message to Wei Lun directly: "How have you been lately?"

When Wei Lun saw that his ex-girlfriend had already messaged him directly, he felt it wouldn't be right to ignore her, so he replied, "It's good, I made a little money."

Chu Ruoruo seemed very aggrieved: "Where are you in Changhan City? Can you spare some time to keep me company?"

It was obvious that Chu Ruoruo had broken up with her boyfriend and was thinking about her ex-boyfriend. She felt that the simpler feelings of the past were more precious, and a trace of passionate emotion began to resurface. However, Wei Lun obviously did not think so; he was just comforting her as a friend.

Wei Lun replied, "I'm at home right now and it's inconvenient for me to go out. Someone will be coming over soon." Indeed, Zhao Xiang, the maid Wei Lun had hired, would be arriving soon. If he went out now, she might not be able to find him and might think he was playing a joke on her.

To everyone's surprise, Chu Ruoruo asked, "Where are you? Can I come to you too?"

Wei Lun said with a grin, "Welcome if you like!" Then Wei Lun sent a location address and didn't care about it anymore.

At this moment, Chu Ruoruo stared blankly at the address. The address was in the Garden Villa District. What kind of fortune had Wei Lun made?

The doorbell rang outside the courtyard; Zhao Xiang had already arrived for work.

Wei Lun opened the courtyard gate using the smart door opener in the room. Zhao Xiang walked in and, seeing the huge courtyard, felt very nervous. She carefully closed the gate and then walked towards the villa in front of her.

As soon as she entered, she saw Wei Lun leaning against the sofa, which made her even more uneasy. She wondered if this boss had any fetishes or if he simply hired her to serve him. What should she do if she was walking into a tiger's den?

Looking at the graceful and shapely Zhao Xiang, Wei Lun was in a very good mood and asked, "Are you Zhao Xiang?"

Zhao Xiang nodded, standing very reservedly in front of Wei Lun.

Wei Lun continued, "Great, ten thousand a month. You can cook, right?"

Zhao Xiang nodded again, thinking to herself: Could it be that they want to test my abilities by having me cook?

Wei Lun pressed some buttons on his phone, and Zhao Xiang only heard a WeChat notification sound. When she opened it, she saw a transfer of 15,000 yuan.

"This 10,000 is your advance salary payment. Use the rest to buy some blankets, kitchen utensils, and some groceries for the family. Buy them and cook a meal. Basically, buy whatever you need. If you need more money, just let me know," Wei Lun instructed like a master of the house.

When Zhao Xiang saw the money, her hands trembled. This was too fast! The boss was so generous! Wow, he paid right away when they met! She quickly replied, "Okay, boss, I'll go get the furniture right away!"

After Zhao Xiang went out, she started a shopping spree, buying whatever was missing from the villa, even spending more than five thousand yuan. She wasn't afraid to use her own money because the shop owner said to just ask him for money if she didn't have any. Zhao Xiang, who had never been so happy shopping, suddenly elevated Wei Lun's image in her mind to the highest level.

About two or three hours later, all sorts of furniture and household items were delivered. Zhao Xiang then started cooking her signature dishes in the kitchen: sweet and sour pork, boiled fish fillets, braised noodles, steamed buns, and so on.

Seeing how capable Zhao Xiang was, Wei Lun felt much more at ease and handed her a set of villa keys, showing his complete trust in her!

Just as the dishes were served and Wei Lun was about to taste them,

The villa doorbell rang again, "Ding-dong, ding-dong!"

Wei Lun was very puzzled. Who was this?

Zhao Xiang hurriedly went outside the courtyard to greet her, and what came into view was a girl of unparalleled beauty, whose face was as beautiful as a flower in bloom.

Zhao Xiang was momentarily at a loss for words, and could only awkwardly say, "Welcome, please follow me."

As Zhao Xiang walked, she wondered: Could it be that my master has a girlfriend? Will I be fired by the mistress for coming to work like this?
