The blind boss's nanny

Lu Tingzhao frowned, thinking that this tactless nanny was about to bring up Braille again.

Who knew that Lin Xiaoman was nervously clutching the hem of her clothes, her voice growing softer and softer:

"Um... online classes require electronic devices, and I don't have any..."

The man was stunned.

Where's your phone?

"At the time, you said we couldn't contact the outside world,"

Her eyes darted around.

"I didn't bring any."

Actually, no, she's not that honest.

Her phone had been used for too long and was so slow that it would spin endlessly every time she sent a message.

Since there weren't many people she needed to contact, she was too lazy to bother with them.

Lu Tingzhao closed his eyes and rubbed his temples:

"Aunt May will help you solve this problem."

Before dinner, Aunt Mei indeed brought over a tablet:

"You need it urgently? I found it in the warehouse; it should be one that the second young master used before."

Lin Xiaoman excitedly turned on the computer, and when she saw the screen light up successfully, she couldn't help but cheer.

It's 9.9% new, and the style is a brand new design that just came out this year.

Hearing that she wanted to study, Aunt Mei unusually asked many questions:

"Do you want to continue your studies in the future?"

Lin Xiaoman shook her head.

"I'm not going to study anymore, I want to make more money."

Aunt Mei leaned against the door, watching the girl who was engrossed in setting up the tablet:

"You're so young, why don't you want to continue your studies?"

Lin Xiaoman kept tapping the screen without looking up:

"Earning money is far more practical than studying."

"Now that you've made money, shouldn't you at least dress up a bit?"

Aunt Mei looked at Lin Xiaoman's bare face.

"What girl your age doesn't constantly buy lipsticks and handbags?"

"trouble."

Lin Xiaoman swung her feet nonchalantly.

"With that effort, you'd be better off taking on a couple more jobs."

Aunt Mei understood this girl less and less.

While others are desperately trying to climb the ladder, she's always thinking about how to take on multiple jobs.

If you say she lacks ambition, she studies harder than anyone else; if you say she's ambitious, she only thinks about getting a job.

Aunt Mei gradually became curious about this young nanny.

She struck up a conversation seemingly casually:

"What did you do before you came here?"

Lin Xiaoman didn't even look up:

"I've done everything. Caregiver, nanny, end-of-life care..."

Where are your family members?

"Just me."

What do you plan to do with the money you're saving?

"I'm going abroad to visit some old friends, and I'll stay and work to earn some money."

Aunt Mei was speechless at this extremely concise three-part answer.

She had seen too many beautiful girls, and while they might love money, they were definitely not like Lin Xiaoman.

This little girl is pretty, but she doesn't care about dressing up at all. She wears whatever clothes she has, and even the toner she gets is a sample I gave her.

"You're always thinking about making money, but you don't use it to dress up or improve yourself, and you don't have a family to support. What are you even doing with all this money?"

Lin Xiaoman chuckled.

"Wouldn't it be better to continue your studies? After you get a salary, go abroad to get a degree, and come back as a returned overseas student..."

Lin Xiaoman shook her head again.

Aunt Mei looked at Lin Xiaoman, who was grinning foolishly at the tablet, and sighed inwardly.

She is a content girl with no particular ambitions.

My biggest wish is to eat and drink well, and have another electronic device that can play videos.

Like an easily satisfied hamster, it can be happy for half a day just by being given a sunflower seed.

Aunt Mei stayed in the Lu family for more than ten years and watched the children grow up.

After Ye Qiyun remarried and abandoned the family, Lu Tingzhao, who had just come of age, coldly invited her into the household.

"Please take good care of my younger brother and sister."

At that time, Lu Tingzhao stood ramrod straight, but his eyes held a maturity beyond his years.

At first, she was worried that Lin Xiaoman was too young and wouldn't be able to do the job of a nanny well.

Especially when facing a mature man like the chairman, one would think that a young girl like Lin Xiaoman would be at a loss, but unexpectedly, this girl was exceptionally skilled at serving people.

She was a professional caregiver, keeping her eyes straight ahead while changing the chairman's clothes, and able to keep up with various topics during casual conversation.

What's most remarkable is that his eyes are clear and pure, completely devoid of any ulterior motives.

I don't dream of being like Cinderella, marrying into a wealthy family.

Go ahead.

Aunt Mei handed over the warmed ginseng soup.

"It's time for the chairman to have dinner."

"Alright!"

Watching the girl's light and cheerful figure, Aunt Mei couldn't help but chuckle.

At dinner time, Lin Xiaoman was skillfully cutting Lu Tingzhao's steak when she suddenly exclaimed, "Ouch!"

"Chairman, this piece of meat has too much tendon; I need to remove it."

As she spoke, she pushed the warm bowl of ginseng soup toward him.

"Would you like to have some soup first to warm your stomach?"

Aunt Mei was startled upon hearing this and quickly tried to stop him with a look.

Making the blind chairman drink soup himself? This girl is going too far!

Lin Xiaoman pretended not to see and carefully placed the soup spoon into Lu Tingzhao's hand:

"The temperature is just right, would you like to try it?"

Lu Tingzhao frowned.

Since losing his sight, he has not performed any actions that require coordination at the dining table.

But hearing Lin Xiaoman's encouraging tone, he still took the spoon.

He hesitated, fumbling for the spoon, his fingers probing the rim of the bowl three times before finally finding the right angle.

Even the simplest action feels like solving a difficult problem for him now.

How high should I raise my wrist? How deep should the spoon dip into the soup? How can I bring it to my mouth smoothly without spilling?

Lin Xiaoman quickly finished cutting the steak, but didn't go forward to help; she just stood quietly to the side.

Seeing the man who once dominated the business world now holding his breath as if facing a formidable enemy even while drinking soup, she quietly clenched her napkin.

Their movements were so clumsy it was heartbreaking.

The soup spoon clinked against the rim of the bowl, and a few drops of soup splashed onto the cuff of the suit sleeve.

Aunt Mei was about to step forward when she saw Lin Xiaoman had already prepared a wet towel and was efficiently wiping him clean.

The spoon finally reached his lips, and Lu Tingzhao's forehead was already beaded with sweat.

"The temperature is just right."

Lin Xiaoman spoke with a smile.

"The kitchen's heat control was excellent today."

Lu Tingzhao took his first sip of soup and finally realized:

This woman cuts the steak in less than a minute; she did it on purpose.

But strangely, he wasn't angry.

On the contrary, when I successfully finished half a bowl of soup, I felt a real sense of accomplishment for the first time in two months.

Aunt Mei's initial anxiety gradually subsided.

She watched as Lin Xiaoman naturally took the soup bowl, as if everything that had just happened was just a normal interlude.

Even she could see that Lin Xiaoman wanted the chairman to regain control of his life.

After dinner, Lin Xiaoman followed Lu Tingzhao to the study, but deliberately placed her water glass on the edge of the desk:

"Chairman, your warm water is in the usual spot."

This seemingly simple instruction is a complex test for the blind.

It is necessary to accurately judge the angle of the arm extension and estimate the distance between the fingertips and the cup wall.

Lu Tingzhao's hand paused in mid-air for a moment, then he suddenly smiled:

"Do you think you're training a dog?"

"I'm helping you rebuild the space map."

Lin Xiaoman pointed to the bookshelf with a self-righteous air.

"For example, the row of books you're facing right now, on the far left is your frequently used hardcover edition of *Das Kapital*, and counting to the right are..."

"A Collection of M&A Cases from 2017."

Lu Tingzhao continued,

"Brown leather cover, gold foil embossed on the spine."
