After the divorce, I started to transfer

The two finished their meal around 11:30. After chatting for a while, Guo Mengyao received a call from Song Yixuan, who had already arrived at the entrance of the residential area.

A few minutes later, Song Yixuan successfully passed through the community gate and arrived at Guo Mengyao's home.

Her appearance was not much different from her resume. She had a classic student-style haircut and wore glasses. She wasn't particularly beautiful, but she was young and had a pretty face.

She was wearing a very ordinary long-sleeved T-shirt and jeans, with white sneakers on her feet. Everything looked rather inexpensive. However, it didn't look particularly cheap on her.

He exudes the scholarly air unique to college students.

Guo Mengyao opened the door for her. As the two looked each other up and down, Song Yixuan was the first to react. Then, somewhat awkwardly, she bowed slightly and said, "Auntie, no, hello sister."

Guo Mengyao's face was full of smiles, but when she heard the other person call her "Auntie", her smile immediately froze.

Chen Feng was standing right behind her and almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Song Yixuan obviously didn't do it on purpose. Although Guo Mengyao is well-maintained and looks relatively young, she is already 31 years old and has an 8-year-old daughter.

Song Yixuan was only 21 years old, a full ten years younger than Guo Mengyao. Calling her "auntie" used to be a perfectly normal way of addressing her, while calling her "sister" would have felt somewhat insincere. But nowadays, nobody wants to be called old, especially not a woman like Guo Mengyao who had just turned thirty; it was a particularly sensitive topic.

If it were any other woman, she might have dismissed the man simply because he called her "auntie," and she wouldn't have gotten the job.

Guo Mengyao was quite magnanimous. Although she felt frustrated, she didn't dislike Song Yixuan or get angry because of it.

Song Yixuan, a girl from a rural background, is clearly the kind of bookworm who only knows how to study. Her emotional intelligence is usually not very high. If she gets angry about this, it would only make her seem petty.

Of course, Song Yixuan's status as a top student at Tunghai University is also a very important factor. The prestige of a prestigious university is still very useful, even in today's world where university graduates are abundant.

"I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to."

Song Yixuan, being a top student from a prestigious university, knew that she had called Guo Mengyao by the wrong name in her haste. Seeing Guo Mengyao's stiff expression, she felt very annoyed, and her face was full of embarrassment and apology.

Seeing her foolish appearance, what could Guo Mengyao do? She couldn't just kick her out, could she? This was a recent top student from Donghai University.

Seeing that the other person seemed to lack emotional intelligence, she could only comfort herself by thinking that the more they acted this way, the more honest and reliable they seemed. Conversely, if the other person were eloquent and had high emotional intelligence, she would be more worried.

"It's alright, please come in first."

Guo Mengyao smiled again and even brought her a pair of slippers.

"Thank you, sister."

Song Yixuan quickly thanked them, and then carefully changed her shoes in the entryway.

Upon seeing Chen Feng, this grown man, she became even more reserved, managing only a forced smile as a greeting.

Guo Mengyao took the initiative to introduce her, saying, "This is my boyfriend, Chen Feng."

Upon hearing her introduction, Song Yixuan was taken aback, because Guo Mengyao's job posting specified that the position required tutoring a first-grade girl. Needless to say, the little girl was the daughter of this "auntie" in front of her.

Therefore, when she saw Chen Feng earlier, she thought he was Guo Mengyao's husband and the little girl's father.

When Guo Mengyao said Chen Feng was her "boyfriend," she was momentarily stunned.

Chen Feng had no idea what Song Yixuan was thinking, but seeing her dazed expression, he found it rather amusing. This was a top student from Donghai University, and yet this was how she'd ended up.

Chen Feng took the initiative to speak jokingly, "You can call me uncle, I don't mind."

When Song Yixuan saw Chen Feng looking at her like that, she panicked and said, "Uncle... Brother, no, sir, hello."

After she finished speaking, her fair face flushed crimson with embarrassment, and she quickly lowered her head, wishing she could disappear into the ground. It was so incredibly shameful.

Chen Feng couldn't help but laugh, causing Song Yixuan to bury her head even lower.

Seeing his attitude, Guo Mengyao said irritably, "That's enough. You're not allowed to bully her."

Knowing that the other party was easily embarrassed, Chen Feng immediately stopped laughing and said, "What I did was not bullying, it was just a little joke. Song, don't be shy, go sit on the sofa."

Upon hearing this, Song Yixuan nodded slightly, but still kept her head down and quickly walked over to the sofa to sit down.

Guo Mengyao and Chen Feng exchanged a glance and then followed.

"Would you like tea or a beverage?" Guo Mengyao asked as she came over.

"No, thank you, I don't want any." Song Yixuan waved her hand in refusal.

Seeing this, Guo Mengyao didn't insist and sat down with Chen Feng diagonally opposite her.

Chen Feng spoke first, asking, "Do you have any objections to the treatment we posted online?"

Song Yixuan immediately shook her head: "No objection."

He really is an honest kid, or perhaps the other party urgently needed money and dared not object.

Guo Mengyao then asked, "Can you tell me about your family? For example, what do your parents do, and do you have any siblings?"

Song Yixuan answered honestly: "My dad died in a car accident five years ago, my mom is in poor health, and I also have a younger brother who is a junior in high school this year and will be a senior in the fall."

Sure enough, Song Yixuan urgently needed to work to earn money to support her family. Therefore, this live-in nanny job with a salary of 10,000 yuan and room and board included was actually a very good option for her.

Otherwise, even if she graduated from Donghai University, her major isn't particularly in demand, and she lacks connections and background, so she might not be able to find a good job. After graduation, she won't be able to continue living on campus, and surviving in a big city like Xiuzhou could be a problem. Given her family's circumstances, they can't offer her much support.

As a woman, Guo Mengyao immediately felt compassion upon hearing about the family's situation. A poor but wealthy woman always evokes sympathy.

Guo Mengyao's voice softened considerably as she gently asked, "Your family must be having a tough time. Is your mother working now?"

Song Yixuan shook her head with a wry smile and said, "She had kidney stone surgery last year, and also has stomach problems. Her health has never been very good. She usually does some handicrafts at home, but she doesn't earn much money."

Guo Mengyao asked with some curiosity, "So how did your family get through it after your father passed away?"

Song Yixuan said calmly, "My dad died in a car accident. He ran a red light. At the time, our family received 200,000 yuan in compensation. After arranging my dad's funeral and paying off our debts, we didn't have much money left. Fortunately, I was admitted to Donghai University. The village, town, county, and school all gave me scholarships, totaling over 100,000 yuan, which covered my and my brother's tuition and living expenses. After I started university, I received scholarships and grants every year, so my living and studying were not a problem. However, last year my mom got kidney stones and had stomach problems. She was hospitalized and had surgery, which cost a lot of money, so we didn't have much money left. Therefore, I'm working now to help support my family."

Song Yixuan's main strength was her honesty, and she directly revealed her family's current situation, which made Guo Mengyao and Chen Feng sigh. However, relatively speaking, Song Yixuan was also lucky. Even though her father had passed away, her mother was in poor health, and her family had little source of income, she still managed to take the college entrance examination smoothly and was admitted to the prestigious Donghai University, receiving a considerable amount of scholarship money and successfully completing her studies.

Now that she's graduating, she's very fortunate to have met Guo Mengyao and Chen Feng.

Judging from Guo Mengyao's attitude, it goes without saying that she will definitely hire Song Yixuan.

Just as Chen Feng had predicted, Guo Mengyao didn't press further and said directly, "Let me tell you about your job duties. Mainly, you'll be tutoring my daughter with her homework, and if all goes well, you'll need to spend time with her on holidays as well. Also, you'll need to help pick her up and drop her off at school. Her school is very close by, only a ten-minute walk. And if you can help with cleaning, I can give you an extra five thousand yuan a month..."

“I’m willing,” Song Yixuan said happily. “I can help with cleaning. I’ve been doing housework at home since I was little. I can sweep, wash clothes, cook, wash dishes, and do farm work.”

With an extra five thousand, her salary suddenly became fifteen thousand, and of course she had no objection.

Guo Mengyao laughed and said, "You don't need to do farm work or cook here. I've already hired a chef. The main chores you need to do are cleaning, taking out the trash, washing dishes, and doing laundry."

Upon hearing this, Song Yixuan hesitated and said, "Isn't this housework too easy? How about you give me an extra two thousand a month?"

Guo Mengyao laughed upon hearing this and shook her head, saying, "Five thousand isn't much. If you do a good job, for example, if my daughter's grades improve or she becomes more cheerful and lively, I'll give you an extra bonus. Of course, what I just mentioned isn't all the work. You'll need to actively find things to do at home, as long as it's within your capabilities, okay?"

Song Yixuan nodded quickly: "No problem."

Guo Mengyao said directly, "That's good. If it's convenient for you, you can start work tomorrow, and then we can sign a formal contract."

Song Yixuan nodded quickly again: "No problem, I don't have anything to do at school now. I will officially graduate next month and will be able to get my graduation certificate and degree certificate then."

"Okay, come over tomorrow. If you're not used to it yet, you don't have to stay at my house every day. You can continue living at school. Once you've settled in and officially graduate next month, you can stay here with me for a longer period."

In reality, Guo Mengyao herself also needed an adjustment period. After all, having another person suddenly in the house made her feel somewhat uneasy, even though this person was a girl who seemed honest and reliable.

Song Yixuan wasn't really stupid. After hearing Guo Mengyao's words, she understood what she meant after a little thought and immediately nodded and said, "Okay, sister. I'll stay here with you after I've settled in. Thank you for understanding me."

Guo Mengyao smiled and said, "We've only met for the first time today, so we don't know each other very well yet. But as we spend more time together and get to know each other better, you'll see that I'm a very easy person to talk to. In short, as long as you work hard in the future, I won't treat you unfairly."

Song Yixuan nodded earnestly: "Thank you, sis, I understand."

Chen Feng, who hadn't said a word until now, saw that they had finished their conversation and asked, "Do you have any plans to take the civil service exam?"

After a moment of surprise, Song Yixuan nodded honestly: "I have that plan. If nothing unexpected happens, I will apply for the exam in October... If I pass, I may not be able to continue working here."

They really say what they mean; they're very honest.

Guo Mengyao had already given her a heads-up, so she wasn't too surprised to see that she really intended to take the civil service exam. Instead, she waved her hand casually and said, "If you pass the exam, you definitely can't continue doing this job. If you don't want to do it anymore, just tell me half a month in advance."

Song Yixuan said, "I will at least work until the civil service exam interview. This year's national civil service exam written test is in December, and I may have to take a few days off then. The written test results will be announced in January. If I pass, I will have to go to the interview, and I may have to take a few days off then. If I don't pass, I will continue to work for my sister."

Guo Mengyao was quite satisfied when she heard that there was still more than half a year left, and nodded, saying, "I will definitely agree to let you take leave to take the exam and interview. Don't worry. I believe in your abilities, and I'm sure you will pass smoothly."

Upon hearing this, Song Yixuan smiled and said gratefully, "Thank you, sister."

"Alright, enough with the formalities. We have a long road ahead of us. That concludes today's interview. I'm officially announcing your employment. The monthly salary is 15,000 yuan, including room and board, but not social insurance or housing fund. Please confirm. If everything is fine, come over tomorrow to formally sign the contract."

"I understand, sis. I'll come over tomorrow morning."

"Okay, let's call it a day then." Guo Mengyao stood up and said, "Go back to the school first and prepare your personal belongings. You don't need to bring bed sheets and blankets, I have them all. Also, take a look at the elementary school textbooks in advance so you can prepare to tutor my daughter."

"Okay, sis. I'll make preparations when I get back."

Song Yixuan also stood up.

Guo Mengyao formally extended her hand to shake hers, and then let go.

Song Yixuan was quick to notice and immediately said goodbye: "Sister, I'll be going now. See you tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll give it to you."

Guo Mengyao quickly saw the other person out the door, then returned and asked Chen Feng, "What do you think of her?"

Chen Feng smiled and said, "You've already decided to hire her, so why are you asking me?"

Guo Mengyao said, "You didn't object or stop me just now, which means you're quite satisfied with her."

Chen Feng then said, "You're actually looking for someone to take care of the child and tutor her, and from those two points alone, she seems to be quite suitable. However, I think she's a bit reserved, and Qianqian might not be able to accept her or like her."

Guo Mengyao was slightly taken aback before saying, "I really didn't think of that. I overlooked Qianqian's feelings. If Qianqian doesn't like her, then... it's hard to say."

Guo Mengyao was now clearly regretting it. She had decided to hire her directly in a moment of passion, even skipping the probationary period.

Chen Feng comforted her, saying, "I'm not being absolute. Although she's a bit bookish and seems a little reserved, she's still a girl, and quite thoughtful. Plus, she has a younger brother. I believe she's very good to her brother and patient with him, so she'll definitely be patient with Qianqian too. It all depends on how she and Qianqian get along. If after a week Qianqian still can't accept her and even dislikes her, then without a doubt, we'll respect Qianqian's opinion and find someone else."

After thinking for a moment, Guo Mengyao said, "I think her personality is pretty good, and after all, she's a top student from Donghai University. Qianqian should like her."

"Yes, I also hope they can get along."

Guo Mengyao nodded and then said, "I'm a little tired. Why don't you come take a nap with me?"

As she spoke, she reached out and pulled Chen Feng toward the bedroom.

Chen Feng said, somewhat speechless, "You were in such a hurry to get rid of her just so you could take a nap with me, weren't you?"

Guo Mengyao rolled her eyes at him and denied it, saying, "How could that be?"

Chen Feng complained, "Then why are you dragging me to sleep now?"

Guo Mengyao explained, "I got up too early today and I'm really sleepy, but I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep if I sleep alone. I can fall asleep if I hold you."

Chen Feng quickly said, "Then we'll just hug, and nothing else."

Guo Mengyao remained silent. (End of Chapter)
