After the divorce, I started to transfer

Since Brina had spoken, Chen Feng naturally had to give her face. He didn't actually intend to kick her out; after all, he had to consider Luna's feelings. He had only wanted to test the single mother's reaction to his rejection.

If he were to hire her as a live-in nanny in the future, she would have to pass his tests. Personality is one aspect, and character is another. Personality isn't immediately apparent, but it can be tested, while character is something he can directly discern.

“Darling, Luna is right, please give her another chance. She’s a single mother, working and taking care of her child at the same time, she’s really admirable.” Molly chimed in to plead for her.

Chen Feng then said, "Alright, I'll give you another chance. You'll have a one-month trial period with a salary of $6000. If you do well after a month, your salary can be increased to $7000, or even $8000. We'll talk about that later, but you first need to pass the one-month trial period assessment."

"Thank you, thank you sir, I will definitely work hard." Eliza thanked him repeatedly, feeling a sense of relief. The reason was simple: she desperately needed a stable, high-paying job like this.

In reality, she can only work two part-time jobs now, and she can only earn a little over $100 a day at most. This is the result of working non-stop every day without any rest. If you include weekends off, she might not even earn $3000 a month.

Her monthly rent is $1,500, and after adding her and her child's various daily expenses, she basically has very little money left. It's fortunate that Los Angeles provides some financial assistance and policy support for single mothers; otherwise, her life would be even more difficult.

It's fair to say that life in Los Angeles is incredibly difficult, let alone for a single mother like her with a child. Therefore, she desperately needs this valuable, stable, high-paying job. If she could bring her child over to work as a live-in nanny, that would be even better.

The apartment she currently lives in is in such a terrible environment. There are prostitutes, drug addicts, and all sorts of freaks around. This is clearly very detrimental to her son's upbringing. That's why she was so anxious just now, almost losing her good job.

"Alright, come over and sign the contract," Chen Feng called out to Eliza.

Eliza quickly took the employment contract from Chen Feng. She spent a few minutes carefully reading it. The focus was on the salary and benefits, which indeed stated $6000. So without much hesitation, she picked up a pen, signed her name, and handed it back to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng handed the contract to Brina, then stood up, extended his hand to her, and said rather formally, "Welcome to work here."

Eliza was slightly taken aback, then quickly stood up and extended her hand to Chen Feng. The two shook hands lightly, and then let go of each other after only three or four seconds.

In that short period of time, Chen Feng obtained the information he needed, and images of Eliza's experiences over the past thirty-three days flashed through his mind.

The videos mainly focus on her life with her son and her working three jobs. Aside from that, it seems she has no other priorities in life. She works tirelessly every day, spending most of her time with her son.

For example, when she works as a waitress in a restaurant or coffee shop, she brings her son with her; when she works as a part-time worker or cleaner, she also brings her son with her; even when she works as a temporary nanny, she brings her son with her.

Of course, it also depends on the employer's situation. Some employers can accept her special circumstances and are willing to take care of her as a single mother, but some employers cannot.

Therefore, during this period of time, because no employer was willing to let her take care of her child while working as a temporary nanny, she has not been able to find temporary nanny work and can only work as a cleaner and waitress, which has undoubtedly made her income even worse.

Aside from that, her life seemed unremarkable and monotonous. It consisted of constantly working to earn money and spending time with her son. It could be said that she had no personal life of her own; her purpose in life seemed to be solely to raise her son.

In Chen Feng's mind, her son was indeed a well-behaved little boy, very sensible, and obedient when he was with his mother; the scenes looked very warm. At his employer's house, he was always quiet and never caused his mother any trouble.

More importantly, Chen Feng didn't detect any bad habits or character flaws in Eliza. This shows that this single mother is indeed a down-to-earth, capable, and hardworking person. And her wholehearted dedication to raising her child truly deserves to be called admirable.

Having gathered this information, Chen Feng immediately changed his tune, sincerely saying, "You're very good. I'll make an exception for you now; you can bring your child and move in directly as a live-in nanny. However, the first month will be a trial period, and we have the right to terminate your employment at any time. If you pass the trial period, we will formally sign an employment contract. At that time, the salary can be increased to $8000, including room and board."

Eliza was stunned upon hearing the news, unable to react for a long time. Brina and Molly, standing beside her, also looked astonished. Rachel, who had just finished her call, was also puzzled and confused by Chen Feng's sudden change in attitude.

"What do you think?" Chen Feng asked Eliza.

Eliza then realized what was happening and nodded with delight, saying, "That's wonderful! Thank you, boss. Thank you so much! You're such a kind person, you'll definitely be rewarded. I promise, my child will be very well-behaved, he won't cause any trouble or wander around after he moves in. I'll keep him quietly in his room."

Chen Feng smiled slightly and shook his head, saying, "It's not that serious. As long as he follows the rules and doesn't go to the second floor unnecessarily, he can go and explore the rest of the place, including the garden, whenever he wants."

“Thank you, sir. My son and I will definitely behave. Thank you for taking us in.” Eliza thanked them again and again, her face full of happiness.

"Alright," Chen Feng waved his hand and said, "If there are no problems, you can start work tomorrow. If something comes up, the day after tomorrow is fine too. You can stay in the nanny's room over there after you arrive." Chen Feng pointed to the location of the nanny's room.

After a slight hesitation, Eliza asked, "Sir, going to work tomorrow is no problem. However, is it alright if I move in with the child today?" After saying this, she quickly explained, "The main problem is that the environment of the apartment I live in now is terrible, and I'm afraid it will affect the child, so I want to bring him here to live as soon as possible."

"Okay, no problem. If you want to move in, you can move in today and start work tomorrow."

"Thank you! Thank you! I'll go back now to prepare for the move. Thank you again." After thanking them repeatedly, Eliza happily bid farewell to Chen Feng and the others and left.

"Chen Feng, what's going on? Why the sudden change of attitude?" As soon as the person left, Brina asked in Mandarin. Chen Feng smiled and said, "I might have had some prejudice against her before. But when I shook hands with her just now, I felt the roughness of her hands; they were hands from long hours of hard work. Just like Molly said, it's truly admirable that she raised her child alone. I'm not without compassion, so I decided to give her a break. Besides, she's not a full-time employee yet. If she brings her son and causes us trouble, then we'll terminate our employment relationship with her. Helping someone out is fine, but I can't compromise myself."

After thinking for a moment, Brina said, "I actually have a pretty good impression of her. She looks like the kind of hardworking, down-to-earth woman, and she seems honest and kind, not the type to cheat or be dishonest. I imagine the children raised by a woman like that would be very well-behaved. After they come to stay with us, they shouldn't cause us any trouble."

Chen Feng thought to himself, "You didn't say that to Luna yesterday." Of course, Chen Feng wouldn't bring up the past. Instead, he nodded and said with a look of agreement, "That's what I think too. Eliza does seem honest and kind, so the children she raises shouldn't be too bad."

"Excuse me, may I ask?" Rachel raised her hand slightly and said.

“Of course, go ahead and say it.” Chen Feng nodded to her.

Rachel immediately said, "Could I stay here too? My home is a bit far from here, it takes at least 20 or 30 minutes by car. If there's traffic, it might take more than half an hour. Besides, the environment here is really nice, and it would be convenient for me to work if I stayed here. Also, could I bring my daughter with me so I can take care of her?"

Without much hesitation, Chen Feng immediately nodded in agreement: "No problem. If you also want to bring your child to stay, then you can come and stay. This villa is so big, it might be more lively with a child."

Chen Feng allowed Eliza, with whom he had little connection, to bring her child, so he had no reason to refuse Rachel, Brinna's distant cousin.

“Thank you, boss! You’re amazing. I’d work for you for the rest of my life,” Rachel said happily. “And Lina, thank you for introducing me to such a great job. Now I don’t have to spend so much time and energy on that damn fitness instructor job anymore. I can just focus on being a security guard here.”

Brina then asked, "You contacted that colleague, right? What did he say?"

Rachel quickly replied, "I just contacted him. When he heard that the pay here was so high and the work was relatively easy, he agreed without hesitation and said he would drive over right away. He's quite impatient. After all, you know, he's not cut out to be a real estate agent; he doesn't even earn $3000 a month."

"That's good. Since she's your colleague, she must be very reliable. After she comes and we meet, if Chen Feng thinks there's no problem, then just hire her. That way, we'll have two security guards. The remaining nanny will mainly be responsible for Molly and me's daily needs, like laundry and cooking. Do you have any good recommendations?"

Rachel asked with some doubt, "Wasn't that lady named Eliza a nanny?"

Brina explained frankly, "She mainly serves someone else. Molly and I need to find someone else."

After pondering for a moment, Rachel glanced at Brina and Molly, and then subtly at Chen Feng before nodding and saying, "Now that you mention it, I do have a suitable candidate. However, she's a bit older, around fifty-six or fifty-seven years old, but she's very healthy and optimistic. She's Mrs. Mercer, and she lives in a detached house not far from my home."

"Her husband passed away two years ago, and her only daughter lives in Canada, visiting her only a few times a year. When she was younger, she worked as a live-in nanny, I heard it was for a billionaire, but she stopped after getting married and having children. I've been a guest at her house and even had a meal there; her cooking was really delicious. She can make pizza, and she also makes some Mexican and French dishes, and even Chinese food, all of which taste great. If you don't mind her age, I can introduce her to work as a live-in nanny. Anyway, she's all alone in that house now, which looks rather pitiful, and she doesn't have much to do."

Upon hearing this, Brina and Molly were immediately intrigued and turned their gazes toward Chen Feng.

Chen Feng shrugged indifferently and said, "Then please ask this old lady to come over. Of course, this requires her consent. In addition, we also need to make sure that her physical condition is suitable for the job of a nanny."

Rachel immediately assured her, "Don't worry about her health. She's always been in good health. She exercises regularly in the mornings; I've seen her go for a run early in the morning. Besides, I don't think the job of a nanny is that strenuous. It's just cooking and cleaning, how hard can it be? It's not heavy physical labor, and she can handle it perfectly well."

Chen Feng immediately said, "Then there's no problem. Call her over. If she seems suitable, we can get everything done today."

“Okay, boss,” Rachel said happily. “I’ll contact Mrs. Mercer right away. She should be very happy too. She’s not short of money. Her husband left her a decent amount of money before he died, so she hasn’t gone back to work since she’s not of retirement age and is in good health. She just feels lonely living alone and needs someone to keep her company.”

Brina asked, "Would she be willing to come and work here? After all, she's not short of money."

Rachel laughed and said, "She would definitely be willing. A while ago, she complained to me that she was too bored and wanted to go back to her old job as a nanny. Of course, she meant being a nanny for a rich man, not an ordinary person. But she's older now, and she hasn't worked for almost twenty years. Such a resume is generally not considered desirable by wealthy families. Therefore, she hasn't found a nanny job that she likes yet."

Brina laughed and said, "Then she's lucky to have met you. We just happen to need a nanny like you."

"Yes, she's lucky. I'll contact her now and have her come over."

After saying that, Rachel went to the side to make a phone call to Mrs. Moses.

Not long after, Rachel ended the call and came over to Chen Feng and the other two, saying, "Mrs. Mercer agreed. She is very happy and said she will come for the interview immediately."

"Then let's keep waiting."

After Chen Feng finished speaking, he picked up his phone and started looking at it.

A dozen minutes later, Rachel's former colleague Sandra arrived first. She was a woman in her thirties with Black ancestry, striking features, short, ear-length hair, and a complexion that was fair with dark undertones, somewhat light black. She was also a bit overweight and about 1.75 meters tall, giving her a tall and robust appearance. (End of Chapter)
