I was reborn without dreams

Chapter 74 The Nanny

Actually, Teacher Li had planned to introduce someone from her hometown, Gujiawei, to work as a nanny, but her husband reminded her not to use their high moral standards to constrain her nephew, Zhang Zhengdong, who was living a good life and didn't want to cause trouble...

Teacher Li isn't stupid; offending her own "literary star" would be asking for trouble.

As for whether "Wenquxing" is male and likes women, that's his own business and none of his concern.

She does have a bit of a "matchmaker" feel to her, especially the kind of "matchmaker" who connects Xiao Pan and Ximen Da Guanren.

Of course, Zhang Da'an, the nephew, is much taller than Ximen Qing, and he can't possibly be Wu Da. He's not quite as tall as Wu Erlang in the book, but he's much taller than the one on TV.

He's grown a little taller this month, and Teacher Li suspects that Zhang Da'an might grow to 1.9 meters tall.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li, we were stuck in traffic on the Shanghai-Nanjing line for about an hour, so we're a little late. Sorry about that. Old Wang, bring the stuff over here."

"Hey, what's this?"

"Local specialties, all from Jiangning, like salted goose and braised duck. I originally wanted to bring roast duck, but I think I'll just go to Jiangning and eat it there later. Jiangning roast duck is the best in the world, the most authentic roast duck..."

Guan Changsheng never thought of giving Zhang Zhengdong and Li Jiawen anything expensive; it was meaningless, they could just use what they needed immediately.

Firstly, Zhang Zhengdong still holds an official position, and secondly, Zhang Zhengdong is an upright person, so there's really no need for him to get involved in those unnecessary things.

That's just empty politeness.

Most importantly, the uncle of "Wenquxing" (a legendary figure in Chinese literature) will never lack gold ingots.

"This must be braised duck from the Second Chemical Plant!"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Zhang has a good eye. It is indeed from the Second Chemical Plant. It used to be supplied to the public by the guesthouse canteen, and it was sold on Chengdong Street. Later, due to enterprise reform, it moved to the University Town area. The taste is a bit different from 'Osmanthus Duck'. The master chef made his own seasoning, so it has its own unique characteristics."

Braised duck is different from roast duck. Vacuum packaging does not affect its flavor. It can be eaten cold or hot. If it gets cold, you can stir-fry or steam it again. The flavor and texture change greatly, but they are all good.

Roast duck is best eaten freshly roasted.

However, Zhang Zhengdong was not stupid. He wondered why Guan Changsheng specifically sought out the braised duck from the Second Chemical Plant when all the major state-owned enterprises in Jiangning City had their own unique canteens and guesthouses.
He didn't come from the Second Chemical Plant.

Soon, Uncle Zhang realized that Guan Changsheng was indeed a highly cunning and treacherous person.

Of the thirty-seven resumes presented, only one truly stood out as a "natural beauty" even from her ID photo.

If Uncle Zhang wasn't blind, he would know that this was the person Guan Changsheng truly wanted to recommend, but he didn't say it directly; instead, he answered every question.

On the contrary, Teacher Li was a bit less knowledgeable and didn't see through this little trick. She even asked Guan Changsheng curiously, "Mr. Guan, this little girl named Shi Yelu... is willing to be a nanny? She's really pretty."

“Her family situation is rather special, so she was definitely willing, as her family urgently needed the money.”

Guan Changsheng answered steadily, without pushing the product too hard. He simply gave a brief explanation to the puzzled Teacher Li: "Shi Yelu's father and I joined the pharmaceutical company at the same time. However, he later went to work at a chemical plant, and only after he was diagnosed with bladder cancer was he transferred to my unit..."

"Her mother was laid off six or seven years ago. She used to work at a paint factory, but it was restructured later, so she left and has been helping sell bird's nest ever since. Oh, the 'Ye' in Shi Yelu's name is because her mother's surname is Ye..."

Guan Changsheng gave a completely emotionless introduction, acting like a reporting machine, answering every question.

Although Uncle Zhang was a nobody in the bureau, he could tell that this girl named Shi Yelu's parents must have some connection with Guan Changsheng. "Hey, Mr. Guan, the kids who joined the company at the same time as you are all sixteen or seventeen years old. What about you? Why haven't I heard you mention your kids?"

Uncle Zhang's focus wasn't on the resumes of these nannies at all.

Guan Changsheng, who had just been reporting on the equipment, now had a complicated expression and said helplessly, "We're divorced. The child goes to his ex-wife. It's a long story..."

"It's not that it's hard to explain, I just really regret... I regret not getting married sooner..."

"..."

"..."

Teacher Li and Guan Changsheng were both speechless.

Rolling her eyes, Li Jiawen was too lazy to argue with her silly husband. She went through all thirty-seven resumes and thought that Shi Yelu was the only one who was acceptable.

The family situation is not complicated, and there are indeed difficulties. In addition, there is still some personal relationship with Guan Changsheng. If something really happens, it would be reasonable for them to seek an explanation from Guan Changsheng.

Patting a thick stack of papers, Li Jiawen said, "The young lady is indeed capable and should be able to endure hardship. The main thing is that Zhang An is as busy as a machine, and it's necessary to be young to take care of him the whole time. In addition, her parents know President Guan, so everyone knows each other well, which saves us from having to guess whether others are honest or not."

As for the girl's family's difficulties, Teacher Li didn't mention it at all, and it's uncertain how things will develop in the future.

The matter was settled quickly, and Guan Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief, quite satisfied; Uncle Zhang was unconcerned, his nephew's requests were very simple, and he saw no need for further investigation; Teacher Li, on the other hand, was wondering if she should give the nanny some instructions...

On the way home, Ms. Li said to her husband who was driving, "Hey, don't you think Shi Yelu looks like Vivian Chow?"

"I think she looks a bit like Yang Li-ching."

"Is she the actress who played Shangguan in 'The Legend of Chu Liuxiang' a few years ago?"

"Shangguan Wuji".

"Oh right, Shangguan Wuji, Shangguan Wuji... Does it look like him? I feel like only the eyes are similar. The face is more like Vivian Chow."

"Mao looks like Yang Li-ching, but she's prettier and more delicate."

"Where is the delicate charm? This is called heroic spirit, okay?"

"Are you blind? Yingqi is the one from 'The Lotus Mirror' and Xiaoqing from 'The Legend of the White Snake.' By the way, who played Xiaoqing?"

"Are you blind? There's clearly a strong personality about her, you can't reason with a blockhead like you..."

The couple bickered all the way home, while Guan Changsheng, who originally planned to go directly to Xindongwei Port Middle School to talk to Zhang Da'an about poaching people, asked the driver, Lao Wang, to go back to Jiangning first and come to Shazhou the next day.

Guan Changsheng was mainly surprised that things went so smoothly; the Zhang Zhengdong couple were so unique that they caught him off guard.

But now that things are settled, he has to make sure everything is in order so as not to cause any trouble for his boss.
