Chapter 1784 - Starting Next Month



Chapter 1784: Starting Next Month

“Actually, I want to ask you for a favor. If you accept this job, you’re considered helping me and I’ll waive a year of rent for you. See if this works. If you want to continue staying at my place in the future, I promise not to increase your rent and I wouldn’t want your deposit. We can sign another contract then as well. Do you think this is fine?”

Even though she said it was going to be mutually beneficial, the landlady knew that it was mainly her begging Qiao Nan. It didn’t matter to Qiao Nan if she didn’t have this job or salary. As such, she naturally had to give Qiao Nan some good conditions such that she would be moved and agree to it.

How much was the rental? Nothing was more important than her son’s future.

Seeing that the landlady looked anxious, Qiao Nan was curious about what type of job could have such a huge impact on her. “If you don’t mind, why don’t you share with me what kind of job this is? For all you know, I might not be able to be of help.” Waiver of a year’s rent was pretty impressive. Anyway, she didn’t know when she could receive her off-plan property. It was naturally a good thing if her rent wasn’t increased.

“It’s like this. My son’s boss came back to Qingshui Town to recuperate from his illness. Perhaps his position is too high and his temper isn’t particularly good. He doesn’t scold or hit people, but he just doesn’t like smiling and talking. After coming over to Qingshui Town, he had a poor appetite. This isn’t good for his illness. My son thought that since his boss is from Ping Cheng, he could find an auntie from that area to take care of him. The salary wouldn’t be low, and the workload wouldn’t be too heavy.”

Her son’s boss had originally hired an auntie to take care of him. However, the dishes she made didn’t suit him, so she quit. If he didn’t eat properly, how could he recuperate well from his illness?

Her son cracked his brain. Although the boss’s hometown was in Qingshui Town, he had grown up in Ping Cheng since he was young. Perhaps the taste and cooking habits were different in both places. He might as well find an auntie from Ping Cheng to take care of his boss.

If the boss was well taken care of, her son could claim merit in the future. If not, he might even receive demerits!

For this matter, the landlady was worried as a mother. When she heard her son mention this, she was slightly depressed. Where would she find an auntie from Ping Cheng to take care of her son’s boss in such a short period of time?

Unless her son made a trip specially to Ping Cheng and brought over all the nannies from Ping Cheng to Qingshui Town and let his boss try them one by one. After that, the landlady was inspired. She vaguely remembered that she had a new tenant recently. It was a woman and she seemed to be from Ping Cheng!

When the landlady’s son first heard about his mother’s plan, he disagreed. His boss had a bad temper, and it wasn’t that easy to get close to him. Was it really appropriate to approach their tenant for this? If something went wrong, it wouldn’t be a beautiful sight.

The landlady was hesitant as well. However, when she saw how perplexed her son was, she said directly, “Let’s not care if it’s appropriate or not. Give it a try first. If this doesn’t work, then we’ll find another person. That woman surnamed Qiao looks good-tempered. The rented house is always kept clean and she never orders takeaways. She looks like someone who knows how to lead a good life. Such a person would know how to take care of others. Furthermore, haven’t you said so yourself? Your boss isn’t easy to get close to. However, he isn’t bad-tempered. Let her try. At least, there’s still someone taking care of your boss for now.”

If her son really went to Ping Cheng to find a good nanny, it would take time too, right? During this period of time, it wasn’t that big a problem to let that tenant take care of him.

When her son heard this, he felt that it made sense and agreed. Once her son nodded, the landlady immediately came to find Qiao Nan, hoping that she could help her. The landlady dared to say that they were helping each other. Qiao Nan might not be lacking this sum of money from this job, but she urgently needed a helping hand, namely Qiao Nan. “See if you can help me? Don’t worry. Although the person you’re taking care of looks cold, he isn’t bad-tempered. Furthermore, you can give it a try and take care of him for a few days first. If it really doesn’t work out, I won’t force you. There’s no choice then. What do you think?”

The landlady didn’t say the specifics. She was afraid if she revealed the other party’s identity, she would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. However, if she said it too vaguely, she felt especially guilty as well. She obviously needed the other party for help but refused to speak clearly. That was considered making trouble.

“Just take care of him for a few days?” One could tell that the landlady was put in a difficult spot. Qiao Nan felt the same way too. Regardless of whether it was inside or outside of her dream, she didn’t have the experience as a nanny.

“Yes, my son’s already planning to make a trip to Ping Cheng to take a look. You just need to take care of him for a few days. Once you agree, my son will set off. Once he brings someone back, you can choose not to continue this job.” The landlady also thought of herself for this job. However, it was obvious her son’s boss wasn’t comfortable with the people in Qingshui Town. Regardless of how good the nanny was, she ended up resigning.

After being a landlady for a good half of her life, she was really not used to serving others.

“Okay.” The landlady’s conditions were tempting, and she only had to take care of him for a few days. Qiao Nan agreed.

“That’s great!” The landlady’s eyes shone. “I promise to fulfill all the promises I made to you just now. If you don’t believe it, I can prepare a contract now. If I increase rent in the future, you will definitely not be affected. I’ve also said to waive this year’s rental for you. Let me know if you want to start calculating from this month or from the month you started renting. If it’s the latter, I’ll return you the money you’ve paid earlier.”

“Let’s start from next month.”

“Alright. Do you want to make a trip with me now?” Her tenant was really easy to talk to.

Qiao Nan was slightly surprised. “So anxious?” She couldn’t seem to wait for a day, let alone an hour.

The landlady laughed awkwardly. “Sister, you should know how to cook, right? It’s like this. My son’s boss came here to recuperate from his illness. However, since he arrived, his appetite had been poor. Why don’t you make some authentic Ping Cheng dishes for him when you reach there?”

Anxious? Of course she was.

Her son mentioned that his boss ate very little every day. If this continued, he might suffer from gastric problems before recovering from his illness. She couldn’t understand it. As a soldier, no matter how tough the environment was, he could persevere. Why was it that in the face of a good life, he was like a picky three-year-old?

Could it be that the older one got, the more bad-tempered one was?

“Okay. Let me change my clothes.” It didn’t matter if she looked sloppy when she was alone at home. She was now going to take care of someone. Qiao Nan changed her clothes to show her politeness.
