Chapter 6 Chapter 6 The diligent worker Xiaolin
Worker Lin Anran smiled and said again: "Hello, Mr. Qian."
If it weren't for this well-paid job, how could she have endured it? Of course, after looking in the mirror, Lin Anran understood that it was all because her face looked too anxious now, crying to death.
Qian Jiaming's gaze moved around Lin Anran's face again, the confusion in his eyes was still very obvious, as if saying, "Is it wrong to call me aunt?"
However, the boss friend didn't say it directly. Instead, he asked with a smile: "Xiao Lin, you just started working for Mr. Zhou not long ago, right? Are you used to it?"
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Qian. Everything is going well at my work." Lin Anran said politely.
Qian Jiaming paused, and finally couldn't help but ask curiously, "Xiao Lin, you and Aunt Li are the same age, right?"
Lin Anran: “…”
Aunt Li is full of energy and enthusiasm every day because she lives a comfortable life. It is true that a person in her fifties looks like she is in her forties, but Lin Anran does not really look to be in his forties, at most he is in his thirties.
"I'm twenty-two." Lin Anran bit his cheek, still unable to bear it. He spoke with gritted teeth, and his eyes were about to spit fire.
Now everyone present could hear the anger in her words.
If Qian Jiaming pokes her in the heart again, Lin Anran will give Qian Jiaming a big slap even at the risk of losing her job. Doesn't she know that age is an important secret for a woman?
You can find jobs anywhere, not just here, huh!
"Twenty...Puff! Cough cough cough!" Qian Jiaming was shocked, but he spoke too fast and choked on his own saliva, coughing continuously.
Seeing this, a gloating smile flashed across Lin Anran's eyes.
Serves you right.
But as a dedicated nanny, Lin Anran was still conscientious before she resigned, so she moved flexibly and quickly to bring warm tea to Qian Jiaming.
Qian Jiaming drank it all in one gulp. After recovering, he looked at Lin Anran with a twinkling look in his eyes, then smiled generously: "Thank you, Xiaolin. I'm sorry for offending you just now."
Lin Anran's brows relaxed and he smiled. "This is my job. You're welcome, Mr. Qian. But I suggest you don't ask a woman's age directly in the future."
If it were someone with a bad temper, he would have punched Qian Jiaming in the face long ago.
Qian Jiaming seemed to have really listened to it: "Good advice!"
Lin Anran didn't care whether the other person was sincere or not. Anyway, even if she worked as a nanny for Boss Zhou, she didn't intend to be a person without temper. She was not selling herself. If she couldn't stay here, she would go somewhere else. Of course, she would definitely do her job well.
Lin Anran raised her eyelids and glanced at Mr. Zhou. Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhou was also looking at her. She immediately showed a professional smile. There was not much change on Mr. Zhou's face. He smiled gently as usual and just nodded slightly to her.
Uncle Wang had just poured tea for Mr. Zhou, and the two of them avoided looking at each other. Lin Anran was very calm. She could handle any situation with ease now and in the future. After all, she was a woman who had traveled through time and space and read books. Who else could have such a wonderful experience as her?
After Zhou Heyuan and Qian Jiaming finished their tea, they went up to the study on the second floor to talk.
Qian Jiaming had been holding it in all the way, but when he saw they were the only two left, he immediately asked to confirm, "Heyuan, is your newly hired nanny Xiaolin really only 22 years old?"
Zhou Heyuan looked at him doubtfully: "Do you care?"
Qian Jiaming gestured exaggeratedly with his hands: "I care a lot! First of all, Xiaolin doesn't look like a 22-year-old. She looks older than my mom! Otherwise, I would never call her aunt, it's too embarrassing! Usually, I am a good gentleman praised by everyone. Ladies from eighty to ninety to two years old like me. Xiaolin definitely thinks I am hateful, annoying and tactless. Moreover, the situation of your family's previous nanny who was fired, I thought you would only hire nannies of Aunt Li's age in the future. Xiaolin is 22, isn't she the same age as you?"
Zhou Heyuan's eyes were indifferent: "Speak to the point."
"All of what I said is the key point!" Qian Jiaming emphasized, "All of it!"
Zhou Heyuan simply replied, "Xiao Lin works diligently and responsibly, which is good."
Qian Jiaming took a moment to react and realized that Zhou Heyuan's words were a response to his long speech. He was so choked that he couldn't speak and could only stare blankly.
Lin Anran was unaware of the argument between her boss and his friend upstairs. Uncle Wang was also talking to her downstairs. "Xiao Lin, you reacted quickly just now. Good job."
Lin Anran was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Uncle Wang, I thought you were going to talk about me."
Uncle Wang shook his head and smiled. "You work diligently and responsibly, so I have nothing to say about you. However, asking a woman her age in person is certainly not the behavior of an upright gentleman."
Lin Anran was immediately happy. She said that her current working environment was really good, her boss and superiors were respectful, and she could continue doing this nanny job with a stable salary.
Because a guest came to the villa, more food needed to be prepared for dinner. Chef Zhao called Lin Anran in to help, and even Uncle Ding was drafted into the army. Several people worked together and finally served the food on time for Mr. Zhou's dinner.
Normally, after Mr. Zhou finished his dinner, Lin Anran would clean up and then happily go home with him. But today, there was a guest named Qian Jiaming who needed a midnight snack, so her get off work time was delayed.
After another busy day, it was already half past nine in the evening. Lin Anran looked at the big clock in the living room on the first floor and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Mr. Zhou was not a person who liked to be in a hustle and bustle, otherwise her workload would have increased exponentially. It was good to be quiet, it was so good to be quiet.
"Xiao Lin, you were exhausted yesterday, weren't you?" Aunt Li rushed back to the villa to work before dawn after her vacation. "I didn't expect Mr. Qian to come visit me while I was on vacation yesterday."
Lin Anran didn't try to hide his tiredness. Instead, he nodded vigorously, looked at Aunt Li, and said happily, "Aunt Li, without you to lead me, work is really not easy. It's great to have you around. I was looking forward to your immediate return yesterday."
Aunt Li smiled happily and said, "Well, you must have secretly smeared honey on your mouth early in the morning."
"No, I'm just happy to see you, really." Lin Anran never thought of competing with Aunt Li for a dominant position. With Aunt Li in the front, she felt so relaxed. Even though she knew that Aunt Li's salary would definitely increase faster than hers, that was what Aunt Li deserved. As for her, she got paid according to the amount of work she did.
Aunt Li was overjoyed and looked at Lin Anran even more favorably. She felt that she had not helped the wrong person before and was happy to give Lin Anran more guidance: "We two usually don't make any mistakes in our work. If there are small mistakes, we just need to correct them next time. With Uncle Wang in charge, we will work step by step and everything will go smoothly. Xiaolin, if you have any questions, just come to me."
"By the way, it's best if we just stay calm at work and don't have any other thoughts."
Lin Anran blinked: "What are you thinking?"
Aunt Li smiled meaningfully. "Hey, it's just a matter of men and women. Uncle Wang fired a nanny before you came because of this. Xiaolin, you've been there, so you must understand."
"I don't, ah, right... I am an experienced person, haha, ha." Lin Anran looked dazed. Well, being a single dog once again deepened her impression of her current married and divorced status.
