Chapter 497: Picking Up Leaks



Chapter 497: Picking Up Leaks

Xia Zhizhi finally understood the mentality of Old Lady Jia in the Grand View Garden who kept a group of lovely little girls by her side.

Apart from anything else, it is truly a delight to the eyes.

Xia Zhizhi pointed to the chair next to her and called to the two girls: "You've been busy all morning, sit down and have a cup of tea. There's sugar in the jar in the kitchen cabinet. If you like sweet drinks, you can add some."

The two little girls sat down and drank a cup of tea, then got up and said they were going to work.

Bai Yunyun said: "Let's go clean the house and then make lunch."

Pointing at the two little girls cleaning the room, the house occupies too large an area. Pointing at the two little girls cleaning the room, it is estimated that as long as they are awake, they do the work except eating.

We still have to hire more people. There is no other way. The house is too big. Cleaning alone is a big project, and the garden also needs people to take care of it.

It's impossible for Ah Ju to go out to discuss business during the day and then secretly work overtime to maintain hygiene when he comes back at night.

Xia Zhizhi asked them to get busy first, and then made a phone call.

Knowing that Xia Zhizhi's family was looking for a maid, her plastic sister Chen Ruoyi called her and said, "Mr. Zhou and his family are moving to the United States and are preparing to dismiss their maid. The maid has worked for their family for many years and is very dedicated."

Knowing that Xia Zhizhi was also a beauty lover, Chen Ruoyi patiently advised: "If you want to find a young and beautiful maid, you can only find a mainland girl. They are pretty, but they don't know a lot of things here. To put it bluntly, they may not even know the way when they go out. They need to be taught from beginning to end. It's better to find a Filipino maid and let her teach them.

Then again, I'm not saying that people from the mainland are bad, but if your servants look for people from the mainland, if they have something to do, they might hide it from you together. It's better to find two groups of people so that they can supervise each other."

Xia Zhizhi thought so too.

She didn't worry that the help at home would do something behind her back without her knowing.

She just felt that the little girl really didn't know a lot.

For example, if she wants to hold a party at home and invite her friends to come over, the girls will be at a loss as they don't know how to arrange the reception.

Besides, Xia Zhizhi only wanted the little girls to dress up beautifully and serve her, and she didn't want to treat them as all-powerful farmhands.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since everyone is hiring Filipino maids, she might as well hire two to stay at home.

Apart from anything else, since he was skilled in the business and had rich work experience, nothing would go wrong, so they adopted Chen Ruoyi's suggestion.

Soon two Filipino maids came to our house for a job trial.

One of them is called Ah Mei and the other is called Ah Zhen, both of which are phonetic translations of their own names.

He doesn't look ugly, a typical Southeast Asian look, with regular features except a flat nose and a big nose tip, and dark skin. He's not fat, with a medium build, and has clear eyes and seems to be in good spirits.

They had worked in the previous employer's home for several years and got along well with each other. They had already been adjusted to the previous employer. To be honest, Xia Zhizhi also felt that there was nothing to complain about and it was indeed very good.

Both speak English and Cantonese.

Ah Zhen's cooking skills are better, but the dishes she can cook are all of Hong Kong style. After all, she has never been to the mainland and doesn't know the specific tastes there. She practiced her cooking skills according to the taste of her previous employer. But she can also make desserts, cookies, cakes and so on, so she is quite versatile.

Xia Zhizhi asked Azhen and Li Mingyan to take charge of the kitchen together.

Ah Mei was previously in charge of taking care of clothes and had some experience, so Xia Zhizhi let her continue to do this.

In addition, Xia Zhizhi also wants to find two more sanitation specialists and gardeners.

These two positions are easy to find. As long as you are down-to-earth and hardworking, and do your job well every day, you basically won't have to run into Xia Zhizhi.

After all, if they were not stupid, they would not clean up while Xia Zhizhi was sitting in the living room, or take care of the flowers while she went to the garden to appreciate the flowers. They would wait until no one was around to do their homework, so naturally they would hardly run into Xia Zhizhi.

If you want to recruit people, it is not difficult and you can quickly recruit enough staff.

As for the driver, they also hired one, named Awei, an ordinary middle-aged man.

Xia Zhizhi disliked the man's ugliness and gave him to Ah Ju. As for herself, she was waiting for Zhu Qing'an to learn how to be her driver so that she could make Zhu Qing'an look better.

Ah Ju always has to go out. Although he can drive, he is still a general manager after all.

President Xia Zhizhi spends three days fishing and two days drying the nets. Most of the work in the company is done by Ah Ju. There is a driver, so it seems that he, as the general manager, has a higher status.

After all the staff were in place, everyone worked together for a while, and basically everyone knew the things to pay attention to when working in this house.

They have a small family and there is only one voice inside, which is that everything is centered around Xia Zhizhi. So the work is pretty easy. As long as you do your job well, there is no other pressure.

Most of them worked as domestic servants, serving a large family.

This one asks for this, that one asks for that, this one shouts, that one shouts, and it's annoying enough without saying anything else. And sometimes when the boss quarrels with his family, the helpers also suffer as a result.

Many people are capable of doing the job of a nanny given the responsibilities it requires, but many people cannot do this job because they cannot stand the hostility it brings.

Seeing that they were almost getting used to each other, Xia Zhizhi called Ah Mei over when she left the house this morning: "I have a few friends coming to my house for dinner tonight, all of them are girls, you can make the arrangements, I'll leave Zhu Qing'an at home, and he can drive you out to buy anything you need."

A-Mei nodded in agreement.

Xia Zhizhi went out with peace of mind.

Go out and pick up bargains.

Some time ago, when she was going home, she went to a nightclub on the way and won some money to spend. At that time, she met a young man who was set up by someone.

Coincidentally, this young man was the son of the middle-aged man who sold the house to her.

As for this guy, it was his bad luck that the person who set up the trap for him was not an outsider, but his half-brother.

It sounds complicated, but it is actually simple. It's just two brothers fighting over the family property. The younger one came up with a trick to cheat the older one.

He lost a lot of money and after returning home he managed to scrape together the money but still couldn't pay it back. Finally, he couldn't hide the fact any more and the lender came to his house.

His father was such a stingy person, and when he found out that his eldest son had lost so much money, he was almost mad at him to death.

Just thinking about it will tell you how noisy that family was some time ago.

But after all, he is his own flesh and blood, and he cannot just ignore him. After all, if you owe money these days, you have to chop off your hands, and that means real chopped off. After the fuss was over, the father sold some of his assets to fill the hole for his eldest son.

People who are a little older know that it is rare for people who get addicted to gambling to change. But after all, he is their own flesh and blood. Maybe they can't bear to care about him, and the family's wealth is not enough for him to spend.

The father thought about it, gritted his teeth and made a decision. He handed over the family business to his youngest son and took care of other things. Then he took the money and moved to the United States with his wife.

His family owned properties, land, and factories, and the price he asked for was not high. When Xia Zhizhi found out about this, she naturally wanted to take advantage of it.
