Transmigrated into a wealthy family's stepmother, I raised the villain into a sweet child.

Jinxi felt the voice sounded somewhat familiar, but without thinking much of it, she replied, "Yes."

The man then asked, "Are you still hiring? How much is the salary per month? How many days off do you get?"

After the other person finished speaking, they couldn't help but cough a few more times, indicating that they had caught a cold.

Jinxi replied, "We're still hiring. The cleaning staff earns four thousand yuan a month, with two days off per week, but it's a shift system. The martial arts instructors have a base salary plus commission for each class they teach."

Jinxi thought for a moment and said, "Is it convenient for you? If so, we can talk in person, and I'll reimburse each of us for 100 yuan for transportation."

In the past few days, besides those who called to apply for jobs, many colleagues have also come to inquire about salary information. Jinxi still thinks it would be better to call people in for in-person interviews.

Besides, even if it's discussed over the phone, there's still an in-person interview required. It's better to have a proper chat and see how good the other person's skills are.

"It's convenient, it's convenient." The woman coughed a few more times. "Whenever is convenient for you, we'll come over."

Jinxi calculated the time: "Today is Monday, how about Friday?"

These few days should be enough for the other person to rest and recover. They've been coughing a lot, and it sounds quite serious.

"Okay, okay."

After finishing the conversation, Jinxi hung up the phone, but after hanging up, she couldn't help but stare blankly at her phone.

I hadn't noticed it until now, but her tone of voice sounds a lot like her mother's.

Zhou Linxu had just finished teaching Zan Zan how to drive the toy car. He walked up to Jin Xi, glanced at her ice cream, and reminded her, "It's going to melt."

Jinxi snapped out of her daze and quickly took another bite of ice cream.

Zhou Linxu asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Jinxi shook her head while biting into her ice cream: "No, I just have an interview scheduled for Friday."

How could it be her mother? Her parents passed away several years ago, and she is no longer in the original world.

On the other side...

Yang Hongyan had just hung up the phone when Jin Dahai came out with the rock sugar pear soup he had just cooked.

He exclaimed, "Oh dear! I told you not to talk! Why are you talking again? Don't you want to lose your voice?"

Yang Hongyan said in a hoarse voice, "I'm much better now, and there are only so many jobs available. If I don't take the initiative, where will I get the money?"

Jin Dahai said, "I have a part-time job tomorrow, which will still be enough to support you."

Yang Hongyan was displeased: "What's the use? We still need to find our youngest son, and we don't even know if this little bit of money will be enough..."

At this point, she couldn't help but think, "But Lao Jin, I just called Jin Yanzi, and the boss's voice on the other end really sounds a lot like my youngest son."

Jin Dahai said, "You hear everyone as if they're talking to a child. I've told you to stop talking, but you still keep saying, 'Stop talking.'"

Yang Hongyan opened her mouth, but finally sat down in the chair and drank the pear soup.

What she really wanted to say was that it looked very similar, and even the name of the martial arts school was the same.

Yang Hongyan sighed and remained silent while drinking her pear soup.

Jin Da Hai said, "How about this, I'll call and ask too? Is that alright?"

Yang Hongyan nodded: "That's fine, you can use your phone to call, I just called."

Jin Dahai said, "My phone is charging, I'll rest for a bit and call later."

Zhou Yanqian played with Daju and Dali in the yard for more than half an hour. Finally, when they had had enough, he parked the car steadily next to Xiao Lü and then got out of the car.

After Daju and Dali got out of the car, he closed the car door again and went back to the living room.

Zhou Linxu didn't go to the company today, but he still had a lot to do, so he went to his study to work shortly afterward.

Zhou Yanqian searched the front and back yards of the living room and only found Xiao Xi's phone being charged.

He then went around to the vegetable garden, where Steward Zhao was watering the plants.

He asked, "Where's Xiaoxi?"

Butler Zhao said, "Madam has gone upstairs. Go and find her there."

Zhou Yanqian said "oh" and went back to the living room to watch cartoons.

He was too lazy to go upstairs, since Xiaoxi would be coming down soon anyway.

While Xiao Xi, Xiao Xu, and Butler Zhao were both out, Zhou Yanqian sneaked into the kitchen. As soon as he entered, the nanny asked, "Zan Zan, what are you doing here?"

Zhou Yanqian casually said, "Come and have fun, you go about your business, Auntie!"

The nanny is preparing dinner right now. Today is Zan Zan's birthday, and the husband and wife only said one thing: make his favorite food.

Zan Zan has a lot of favorite foods.

The nanny noticed him looking around and then ignored him, continuing with her work.

Zhou Yanqian pretended to take a walk and walked to the refrigerator. He opened the freezer drawer, picked out an ice cream he liked, and then pretended to take a walk again before going out with the ice cream.

He tore open the ice cream bag and took a bite of the ice cream.

Wow! Absolutely delicious!

Especially when you eat it sneakily, the deliciousness is doubled!

Zhou Yanqian took off his shoes and climbed onto the sofa. Just as he was about to turn on a cartoon for himself, Xiao Xi's phone, which was charging on the TV cabinet, rang.

He frowned and glanced at it, then looked at the elevator.

There was absolutely no movement.

Helpless, he had no choice but to get off the sofa with the ice cream in his hand, put on his slippers and walk over, intending to see who it was, but it was an unfamiliar number.

He answered the phone while munching on his ice cream.

"Feed?"

Jin Dahai listened to that soft voice; his youngest son's voice wasn't like that at all.

He glanced at Yang Hongyan, then asked, "Is this the Jin Yanzi Martial Arts Academy?"

"Yes, it's Jin Yanzi."

The voice sounds like a child's.

Jin Dahai asked, "Little friend, where are your parents?"

The child on the other end said, "She went to do something and didn't take her phone."

Jin Dahai glanced at Yang Hongyan again, and this time Yang Hongyan's face also showed a bit more doubt.

She gestured with her eyes, and Jin Dahai asked, "Is the owner of Jin Yanzi Martial Arts Academy your mother?"

The child on the other end of the phone seemed to be silent for a moment, then finally hummed in agreement, his voice much softer but still very clear: "It's my mom."

Imami Daido said, "I just wanted to confirm with your mother whether the interview at 3 PM next Friday is okay."

"Sure," Zhou Yanqian said. "I'll talk to her about it."

Jin Dahai said, "Okay, okay, thank you, good child."

The child hummed in agreement and then hung up the phone.

Jin Dahai looked at Yang Hongyan and said helplessly, "I already said, how could it be a girl? This child sounds like she's four or five years old. Aren't there plenty of coincidences when we come to this place? Every time it looks familiar, it turns out to be completely different."

Yang Hongyan asked hesitantly, "Do you think Xiaobao really came?"

"She must be here." Jin Dahai held her hand. "Otherwise, we wouldn't both dream about her at the same time. Don't worry, we'll meet our little one eventually."

Yang Hongyan nodded, leaned on Jin Dahai's shoulder, and the two of them sighed heavily.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yanqian lingered and sat back down on the sofa.

He was biting into his ice cream, while Daju and Dali wagged their tails, staring longingly at the ice cream.

Zhou Yanqian said seriously, "Puppies can't eat ice cream, so please stop watching."

The orange and lychee trees couldn't understand, but they wagged their tails even more vigorously.

Zhou Yanqian added, "Wagging your tail won't help, Mom..."

He stopped talking, looked around to make sure no one was there, and then whispered, "Mom... won't give you any food either, hmph."

After saying that, Zhou Yanqian couldn't help but laugh again.

He laughed for a while, then his face became serious again, but only for three seconds before his expression softened and became happy again.

He couldn't find the words to describe his feelings at that moment.

I just thought that Xiaoxi was my father's wife, and it wasn't wrong for him to call her "Mom".

However, he wouldn't shout it in front of Xiaoxi, because she would definitely hug him and kiss him passionately.

He didn't want to be kissed and hugged by Xiao Xi for the time being, after all, he was a very reserved person.

Having figured things out, Zhou Yanqian happily started eating ice cream again. Delicious, delicious!
