Chapter 18 Happy Start to Work: The Eighteenth Day - Finding a shared nanny requires advance notice...
After Ji Ye left, the air pressure inside the car became extremely cold.
As Ji Ye's manager and assistant, they were already used to this side of him. But what was different was that Ji Ye, who usually had no social circle, was behaving very strangely today, fiddling with his phone in the back row.
This caused Ji Ye's assistant, who was holding a glass of water and cautiously approaching him, to feel a little flustered.
One can't help but wonder—did something happen to their Brother Ji?
The assistant's voice was low: "Brother, have some water."
Ji Ye did not react.
The assistant stood there, bewildered.
The assistant was a fan of Ji Ye, and becoming a fan of Ji Ye once felt like a dream come true. But his idol, Ji Ye, was even colder than he had imagined. Over time, he lost much of his fangirling interest and instead just hoped that Ji Ye could be a better colleague.
Unlike other celebrities in the entertainment industry, Ji Ye was signed by a top-tier entertainment company right from the start because of his privileged family background.
From then on, his amazing talent and original style attracted much attention and he had a smooth career, which once made Ji Ye an indelible figure in the industry.
This has led to his fearless, aloof, and sharp-tongued personality becoming a unique phenomenon in the entertainment industry.
Especially in the early days of his meteoric rise to fame, when he swept the music scene and younger artists in the entertainment industry were still unsure of his personality, he frequently brought many artists to tears. This caused numerous artists to shed tears at events, generating countless trending topics on social media.
This has led to most of the younger generation in the industry being wary of Ji Ye. In recent years, whenever they see this extreme perfectionist and sharp-tongued musician, they run as far away as possible to avoid him. Even if they can't escape, they try to minimize their presence and flee as quickly as possible.
This is a consensus reached throughout the entertainment industry.
People in the industry also joked privately that Ji Ye's personality meant he was destined to be single for life.
Unexpectedly, this point, which even the assistant agreed on, took an unexpected turn today—
Their Brother Ji, who almost never shows any interest in mobile phones or tablets, surprisingly picked up his phone today, even opened the communication interface, and even... opened? the Pei Group's internal system?
You know, his brother Ji usually doesn't even contact him, he only contacts one agent at most.
Seeing that his brother Ji had no desire to drink water, the assistant quickly put the water away.
If Brother Ji doesn't want to drink, then he doesn't want to make trouble for himself.
The assistant quietly turned to Ji Ye, only to see his cold gaze, which remained fixed on his phone's communication screen the entire time.
The assistant instinctively held his breath and curiously looked at Ji Ge's phone. Unexpectedly, he saw his Ji Ge open the interface with the name "Xie Ruan" and remained motionless for a long time.
What are you doing?
Who are Xie and Ruan?
The assistant didn't even have his brother Ji's contact information.
The assistant even knew that their brother Ji Ye never took the initiative to contact his friends.
Even under these circumstances, his brother Ji rarely took out his phone, and without doing anything, he focused intently on looking at someone's chat interface.
They even... accessed the other party's employee space within the Pei Group?
[System notification: This employee's profile is empty...]
really.
No one posts their daily life on their employee social media, especially when their own boss can see it.
Even as Ji Ye's assistant, he hardly used any of the system's spatial content.
I imagine others are the same.
...
Wait.
The assistant paused.
Since his brother Ji was looking at the employee contact list.
So, does that mean that his brother Ji is paying attention to employees of the Pei Group? His colleagues?
The assistant's eyes widened.
If he doesn't get this treatment, who does?
The assistant's eyes widened even more when he saw the employee named Xie Ruan casually accepting his boss Ji's red envelope without saying a word.
Even his brother Ji has never given him a red envelope.
No, even if his brother Ji gives him a look, he has to respond.
But how dare this person, this fellow employee whose position we don't know, treat Brother Ji like this?
Their Brother Ji! He's a notorious figure in the industry, someone you absolutely can't afford to offend!! A real tyrant!!!
The assistant was still frozen in place, unable to believe reality, when Ji Ye turned his head and looked at the agent in front of him.
The assistant was still confused when Ji Ye, who rarely speaks to his agent, asked, "Who is the manager of the villa?"
The agent was also stunned. It was always him who sought out Ji Ye, never Ji Ye who sought out him. The agent quickly said, "Li, Assistant Li."
?
The assistant was also taken aback by the stalemate between the two.
Unexpectedly, Ji Ye glanced indifferently at his agent.
The agent quickly understood and called Assistant Lee.
The assistant glanced at the manager. This wasn't the first time he'd seen the manager grovel before Ji Ye. The manager didn't only have Ji Ye as an artist, but this was almost the first time he'd seen the manager act this way.
Especially for assistants who have witnessed their own manager's indifference towards other artists, the contrast is stark, and they can only sigh inwardly.
The agent dialed the number, and Assistant Li answered quickly.
The agent originally wanted to repeat the message, but Ji Ye, who usually found contacting people troublesome, unusually took the phone and directly asked, "Are you in charge of Xie Ruan?"
Xie Ruan?
Assistant Li looked at Ji Ye's agent's contact information, listened to Ji Ye's cold voice, and subconsciously shivered before responding.
Assistant Li had expected a barrage of criticism, but Ji Ye's voice, though cold, was not as distant as usual.
Instead, he spoke as if giving a serious instruction: "His workload is too heavy. After work, he can rest and relax freely."
"Has he always been like this?" Assistant Li was taken aback.
While he was still considering his words, Ji Ye spoke slowly and deliberately, as if he had anticipated it: "I'm talking about the kind of work that happens after get off work, not the kind that happens while waiting to work."
The men in that villa were all bad people.
Wen Hezhou probably won't go back.
But Zhou Jingchi clearly prefers Xie Ruan's kind of dishes.
Ji Ye's gaze suddenly turned icy, and everyone around him shivered. Even Assistant Li felt a chill on the other end of the line. "Let him go home and rest after he finishes his work."
Assistant Li: "Huh?"
Ji Ye: "I gave the order, any objections?"
Assistant Li stood there stunned for a long time before hurriedly nodding, "Ah, no, no, nothing!"
How could there be such a good thing?
Assistant Li was still worried that it might be too much for Xie Ruan to stay alone in the villa for a long time. He wondered if such a young man might become depressed or even quit his job.
Unexpectedly, Ji Ye provided a good solution.
Assistant Li couldn't suppress the smile playing on his lips: "Yes, that's fine. But would you like Xie Ruan to be available to answer calls anytime after work, or...?"
Assistant Li was a special assistant, and being able to answer calls at any time was his fate, so he subconsciously asked a question.
Unexpectedly, Ji Ye spoke up: "No need."
Ji Ye's mind flashed back to the image of Zhou Jingchi harassing Xie Ruan at any time and place, and his gaze turned cold.
Ji Ye: "Ideally, the kind where you can't be contacted after work."
Ji Ye didn't even realize that he felt even colder when he said those words.
Assistant Li was puzzled, wondering if employers were all this understanding now. He immediately replied, as if afraid Ji Ye might change his mind, "You mean, I won't be contacted after work? And I need to notify Xie Ruan in advance if anything happens?"
Ji Ye: "Mm."
Assistant Li breathed a deep sigh of relief.
He didn't realize Ji Ye was such a good person either.
With Ji Ye vouching for him, Assistant Li smiled, his worries about Xie Ruan now resolved: "Then I'll go contact Xie Ruan right away."
Ji Ye responded and hung up coldly with a click.
The agent only snapped out of his daze when the phone was returned to him.
?
Is this considered caring for the nanny?
Ji Ye has never shown any concern for his manager over the years!
It's not just agents, assistants, and nannies!
Even Ji Ye's dad has to put up with Ji Ye's cold attitude and give up the elevator for Ji Ye!
Now, Ji Ye from his family has actually come to his senses and is starting to care about the nanny?
Is it some kind of legendary transformation of a boy at 24?
Ji Ye is 24 years old now, and he's not the same arrogant wild boy he used to be.
The agent looked at Ji Ye with curiosity.
Sure enough, her aloof and indifferent face changed the moment she met his gaze.
Let him have his heart.
Snow fell in June.
There's no such thing as changing one's gender.
It's simply that I met someone who changed their personality.
Looking at Ji Ye, who had already put on his headphones and was immersed in the music, the agent subconsciously sighed that he also wanted to meet the legendary nanny named Xie Ruan.
After all, no one in this world has the confidence to change Ji Ye.
Or, they might receive preferential treatment and care from Ji Ye.
*
Ji Ye and his agent drove to their next work location.
Xie Ruan received a call from Assistant Li immediately after Ji Ye finished his conversation with Assistant Li.
Assistant Li is Xie Ruan's superior. Although Assistant Li's superior is Pei Zhi, the president of Pei's Group, Assistant Li has certain authority to make adjustments without his approval because the president is very busy and has entrusted the villa and employees to Assistant Li.
Even though Assistant Li had such authority, it wasn't as great as the authority Ji Ye could grant him.
So when it came to Ji Ye, the gullible one who was willing to offend other employers, and was given more authority to make decisions, Assistant Li immediately approached Xie Ruan: "Ahem, the employers have reacted, saying they appreciate your hard work." Of course, this was all information that Assistant Li had added on his own.
He can't exactly say that his employer probably thinks he's being too conspicuous by staying in the villa, so he asks him to finish cleaning and then go home, can he?
After all, Assistant Li couldn't think of any other reason why Ji Ye was being so kind.
He also didn't believe that Ji Ye could be so kind as to genuinely care about the nanny.
Assistant Li's voice was repeated into the receiver.
Xie Ruan blinked her beautiful eyes and listened quietly.
Assistant Li: "So, the employer relented and said that you can leave work early after you finish your work each day, and our wages will still be settled."
?
Such a good thing?
Xie Ruan couldn't believe it. Her soft breaths kept coming through the receiver. Then she paused, pursed her slightly dry lips, and tentatively asked, "Finished with work?"
Assistant Li felt inexplicably pleased as he listened to Xie Ruan's soft voice: "Yes, for example, when the employer is not home, you just need to finish cleaning the employer's room every day."
Assistant Li continued to explain, "If the employer needs it, they will notify you one day in advance to prepare. As for when the employer is at home, you can listen to the employer's arrangements, and then you can leave work after the employer agrees."
! ￥#%@?
? ? ?
Xie Ruan's brain was a complete mess.
He stood there like a piece of wood for a long time before he seemed to come to his senses, suddenly staring straight ahead, his tone tinged with a little excitement: "Off work?"
Assistant Li sensed Xie Ruan's slight excitement and chuckled, "It means you can move around freely, go out, or stay in your room."
!!
Such a good thing?!?!?!
You should know, in this book, the employers don't go home at all!!!
Now they can just clean up and leave!?
If I remember correctly, only Zhou Jingchi's and Pei Zhi's rooms are currently open!
No matter how carefully Xie Ruan cleans, it shouldn't take more than an hour to finish, right?
That means he starts work at 9 am and can leave at 10 pm to do whatever he wants!?
Oh my god.
This was a job he could never have imagined.
Although almost none of the employers in the book are normal people!
But at this moment, Xie Ruan accepted it!
His employer is the wisest person in the world! God!!!
After hanging up the phone and confirming repeatedly, Xie Ruan couldn't help but jump up.
He never expected that something so joyful would happen to him.
Freed from the pressure for a moment, Xie Ruan quickly burrowed into her room, much like a snail longing for home.
He didn't even look closely at his room.
Xie Ruan's room was a maid's room, located in the far corner at the very end of the first floor. Although it was much smaller than the employer's room, it was very cozy and warm.
Xie Ruan quickly jumped onto the bed and turned on the new phone that Zhou Jingchi had given her.
For the first time, I had time to explore the wonders of the world.
for example……
The software Zhou Jingchi used to place the order for him last time.
Thinking of this, Xie Ruan rubbed his head, feeling a bit of a headache. The delivery guy had just sent over the pink underwear that Zhou Jingchi had ordered for him.
Xie Ruan didn't dislike pink, she just didn't like underwear being that color.
I don't like it either... It's only this one color all day long.
He really didn't expect that Zhou Jingchi would just casually buy a whole box of them.
He had no idea how long he would have to wear it.
Unexpectedly, Xie Ruan received the message very quickly.
"Buzzing".
Zhou Jingchi: [Red Envelope: The package has arrived! Is it suitable? If it is, I'll buy you a box every month.]
Xie Ruan quickly clicked on it.
A red envelope containing 88,888 yuan has been credited to your account.
Xie Ruan was very happy.
However, Zhou Jingchi's quick reply was incredibly enthusiastic.
Xie Ruan was just about to reply.
But then a system update notification popped up.
Xie Ruan subconsciously clicked "OK".
Then...
The tablet interface turned gray.
Xie Ruan was stunned for a moment.
I watched helplessly as the screen flashed with extremely large text: [System Notification]: This employee [Xie Ruan] has finished work. Chat and phone functions are disabled. If the employer needs to chat or make a service appointment for the next day, an application must be submitted at least one day in advance. Thank you for your support.
?
Then.
Xie Ruan's chat window is also gone.
