Chapter 138: 131, your little nanny is online (asking for monthly votes)
As the time for Xixi's school dismissal approached, Yang Hao got out of the car.
His ex-wife, Li Manshu, had been standing by the roadside and hadn't left. When Yang Hao got out of the car, she followed him and whispered, "For the sake of giving Xixi a complete home, I will not give up."
Yang Hao couldn't be bothered to deal with her.
The reason was utterly ridiculous.
For the sake of giving Xixi a complete home?
What were you doing earlier!!
And why doesn't Xixi have a complete home, no clue in your heart??
"Yang, I saw your car a while ago."
At that moment, Fat Peng squeezed out from the crowd of parents picking up their kids, his plump face full of smiles.
"Hmm, it's you picking up the kids again today."
Yang Hao, not interested in dealing with Li Manshu, simply started chatting with Fat Peng.
"I have you to thank for that, Yang. You gave a tip of seven hundred thousand, didn't you? Even after the platform took its share, I pocketed over three hundred thousand, so I'm not so pressured with writing for the moment..."
Fat Peng said cheerfully, "So, I was thinking about when to invite Yang for a meal!"
"I've been quite busy lately, let's talk about it when I have the time~!"
Yang Hao replied nonchalantly.
Meanwhile, Li Manshu, who was trailing a little behind Yang Hao and listening to the two men chat, caught key information—her billionaire ex-husband had actually tipped this fat man seven hundred thousand!
Although she didn't know what this fat man did for a living, the seven hundred thousand tip must be real, otherwise, he wouldn't be so courteous.
He had really struck it rich!
To casually tip seven hundred thousand!
Li Manshu silently lamented in her heart.
After waiting for another two minutes, the children were let out of school.
Xixi, whose little hand was being held by Jiang Yuqi, seemed to be in good spirits. Upon seeing her dad in the crowd, she immediately started cheering excitedly, "Daddy, daddy..."
Jiang Yuqi let go of Xixi's little hand, and the little girl immediately dashed towards Yang Hao.
However, she had only run halfway when she recognized a face that was both familiar and strange, causing her to pause and mutter softly, "Mommy."
In Xixi's world, this word had become foreign, the most vivid image she had of her mother being the sight of her slamming the door and leaving!
And whenever her peers mentioned their mothers, that scene would reemerge in Xixi's mind, to the point that it had formed a shadow-like image in her psychology.
So, upon seeing her mother, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Xixi didn't feel the joy of a reunion, but instead, strangeness and fear.
She quickly sped up a few steps and then plunged into her father's arms.
Yang Hao then scooped up the little girl in his arms.
"Xixi, mommy brought you some chocolate to eat," Li Manshu said, beaming as she approached with the chocolate she had prepared.
Knowing that her daughter was a little foodie and that she loved the type of chocolate she had brought, Li Manshu was confident in her choice.
Xixi looked at Li Manshu but kept shaking her head.
"Take it if you want to eat," Yang Hao said.
Although he had completely given up on his ex-wife, she was still Xixi's biological mother, and Yang Hao didn't insist that Xixi must draw clear boundaries with her as he did.
The affairs of adults should be separated from those of children; one cannot forcefully bind a child to share hatred towards someone, especially if that person is their father or mother.
But what about the real world?
There are countless examples of children being used as leverage, seemingly becoming a weapon in the game of divorce.
Such behavior is truly despicable!
"I don't want the chocolate!"
Usually a big fan of chocolate, today Xixi uncharacteristically shook her head. She hugged her daddy's neck and whispered, "Daddy, let's go home."
"Okay."
Yang Hao nodded and strode toward the U8 parked by the roadside.
"Xixi, would you like Mommy to take you to eat at KFC?"
Li Manshu had not given up and followed closely behind father and daughter, asking.
Xixi, however, buried her head in her daddy's chest without uttering a word. This sudden display of "motherly love" clearly made the little girl quite uncomfortable.
"Xixi probably doesn't want to go with you, so let's leave it at that for today!"
As he spoke, Yang Hao had already reached the car with Xixi in his arms. He said this to Li Manshu before opening the rear car door and placing Xixi inside.
"Xixi, don't you miss Mommy??"
Li Manshu was still struggling to reconcile.
But Xixi kept her head down, remaining silent, the usually smiley girl was also without her cheerful expression.
To say that such a small child didn't miss her mother at all was impossible, but in Xixi's consciousness, her mother had already abandoned her and Daddy, and she had gradually prepared herself mentally.
But now, with this person suddenly appearing, it could only bring Xixi fear and insecurity.
Because she was unsure what the other party intended to do, whether she was about to be taken away from Daddy...
"You should go back!"
"Perhaps Xixi will be okay when she's a bit older."
Yang Hao shrugged regretfully, then got into the car, and quickly drove away.
Watching the million-dollar luxury car grow distant, Li Manshu clenched her fists once again.
She could have been sitting in this luxury car's front passenger seat!!
What's mine, I will take back!!
This ex-wife still harbored illusions...
Meanwhile, Jiang Yuqi, who was overseeing the kids being let out from school, had also noticed Li Manshu, and quickly guessed her identity.
That's because the girl who had accompanied Yang Hao and Xixi to the parent-child sports day was Xixi's aunt, and the woman she was now seeing bore some resemblance to the former, obviously, this had to be Xixi's mother.
Jiang Yuqi had come into contact with many children from single-parent families since divorce rates are increasing, resulting in more children being raised by a single parent, and she could tell their general state of mind from their reactions.
And from Xixi's reaction, it was clear that she had some aversion to this mother!
Perhaps in Xixi's heart, this mother no longer existed.
Jiang Yuqi couldn't help but think about the time Xixi asked her to be her mom.
The little girl still yearned for maternal love, just not from this mother!
Inside the car.
Xixi was feeling down.
Usually, after school, the little girl was bouncing around happily.
Today, she was obviously upset by her suddenly appearing mother.
"Daddy, you won't give me to Mommy, will you?"
After being silent for quite a while, Xixi suddenly asked.
"Of course not!"
Yang Hao shook his head.
Phew~
The little girl let out a long breath, evidently, she had been worried about this.
"Do you really not miss Mommy?" Yang Hao asked.
"I don't."
Xixi shook her head, and then said in a babyish voice, "Actually, I have found two moms for myself."
"Hm?"
Yang Hao blinked in confusion and asked, "You found two moms?"
"Yeah!"
The little girl nodded vigorously and said, "In my heart, my auntie and Mrs. Qiqi are both moms..."
"I see!"
Yang Hao suddenly realized and then roughly understood what Xixi meant. This little girl also needed maternal love, but she had transferred the affection for her mother to Li Manshu and Jiang Yuqi, who treated her very well and made her feel dependent on them.
Yang Hao thought seriously for another moment. Not to mention, by combining the two, they really did fulfill the role of a mother.
However, neither of them had fulfilled the role of a wife!
Thumbs down!!!
Knowing that Xixi wasn't very happy today, Yang Hao promptly sent a message to Li Manshu, asking her to stay at Star Cloud Bay for the night to keep Xixi company.
After all, according to Xixi herself, this auntie counted as half a mom.
Nighttime.
Inside the three-room apartment they were renting.
Jiang Yuqi, Cai Meichen, and Liang XiaoLu were gathered around the coffee table.
"Qiqi, just give in to Mr. Yang!"
"Start by being a little nanny, and who knows, you may soon get promoted. Then you'll be the madam of a CEO!"
Liang XiaoLu teased with a chuckle.
"Stop it!"
"You're never serious!"
Jiang Yuqi gave her friend an annoyed look. She was still undecided about whether to accept Yang Hao's invitation.
If she were only considering the money, she should have accepted without hesitation.
But becoming a nanny at twenty-three sounded a bit outrageous!
"Little aunt, do you really think this is okay?"
Jiang Yuqi turned her gaze to Cai Meichen, who had sent her the message during the day suggesting that she could accept.
"It's better than your current job as a kindergarten teacher."
"And being a nanny is just temporary, of course, my intention is different from Lu's."
"What I mean is, with Mr. Yang's status, he will definitely need a housekeeper. If you perform well, maybe someday you will become Mr. Yang's housekeeper, and that's a very respectable position, much better than my job as the director of the CEO's office!"
Cai Meichen offered her analysis and advice.
"Exactly, exactly, rich people all have housekeepers, and they hold high status, especially when dealing with outsiders, people will respect you a lot!" Liang XiaoLu nodded repeatedly.
Jiang Yuqi took a deep breath and thought again about the annual salary of three hundred thousand and Xixi.
"All right, I'll give it a try!"
"Since I'm so familiar with Xixi, it shouldn't be hard to take care of her..."
With the little aunt and best friend in agreement and the temptation of a high salary, Jiang Yuqi couldn't think of any reason to refuse.
Being a nanny isn't so bad!
Lu is right, I'll be a nanny at twenty-three and skip twenty years of detours!!
Having made her decision, she immediately sent a message to Yang Hao: "Big Brother Yang, I've thought it over and accept your offer!"
Jiang Yuqi even threw in a bit of English.
An annual salary job of three hundred thousand!
Using the word "offer" wasn't too much...
Star Cloud Bay.
Yang Hao was running on the treadmill.
This treadmill was placed on the balcony, so he could jog while enjoying the beautiful view of the river.
Li Manshu and Xu Wenqian were in the living room playing with Xixi. With the two of them accompanying her, the little girl's mood had returned to normal, and she was having a blast.
Seeing that someone had sent a message, Yang Hao casually checked it and then a smile appeared on his face.
Xixi's wish could be fulfilled.
The task was also completed!
That means he would have another property: Shangpin International Bilingual Kindergarten!
This kind of thing couldn't be delayed. It had to be finalized right away.
Fearing that Jiang Yuqi might change her mind after a night's sleep, Yang Hao immediately made a call.
"Mrs. Jiang, is Director Cai with you? Yes, your little aunt..."
"Mr. Yang, I'm here," came Cai Meichen's voice directly through the phone.
"Great, trouble Director Cai to draft a contract, and I'll come over now so we can sign it directly!"
"Sure, okay!"
"See you in a bit!"
Ending the call, Yang Hao also stopped the treadmill.
After greeting the three women playing in the living room, Yang Hao left the house.
Half an hour later.
Yang Hao arrived at the rented apartment where Jiang Yuqi and the other two women lived for the second time.
The three women were all dressed neatly and waiting for him.
"Mr. Yang, please check the contract," said Cai Meichen as she handed a copy of the contract to Yang Hao.
"I trust the work of Director Cai..."
Although Yang Hao was saying this, he still glanced over the contents of the contract. Now that he was a big CEO with three modest targets for his asset accumulation, he couldn't be careless about where he signed his name.
After confirming there were no issues with the contract, Yang Hao signed his name on it.
Jiang Yuqi took a deep breath and then also signed her name on the "indenture" personally drafted by her little aunt.
Ding!
Congratulations to the host for completing the task: [Xixi's Wish]
Task Reward 1: 100% ownership of Shangpin International Bilingual Kindergarten
Task Reward 2: Numbers 19 and 20 Binjiang Road stand-alone storefronts.
After signing the contract, the System notification arrived as expected!
Yang Hao's eyes lit up!
And this time, the reward included the storefronts again, and not just any, but the stand-alone ones on Binjiang Road, much more valuable than those at the Bolli Fitness Center!
Yang Hao could only shout once more: System is awesome!!
Of course, my baby Xixi is equally awesome!!
Just by making a move, she has already secured such a level of reward...
Fur-trimmed cotton-padded jacket, true to its reputation!
