Lou Xiao'e is worthy of being a strong woman, and she does what she says, extremely simply.

Since he promised to help Cao Zhiqiang take care of Zhu Lin, he acted immediately.

First of all, for the sake of convenience, Lou Xiao'e took Zhu Lin directly to her house and did not go back to the hotel with Cao Zhiqiang.

Then, Lou Xiao'e quickly helped Zhu Lin rent a four-bedroom mansion near the Sanatorium & Hospital.

Well, although it is only a four-bedroom building of about 120 square meters, and it is still relatively old, this kind of house is indeed a luxury house in Xiangjiang.

Just look at the rent, this kind of house, the monthly rent is 7,000 Hong Kong dollars.

The monthly rent of 7,000 Hong Kong dollars is definitely a high price in Xiangjiang, at least for now.

You must know that many white-collar workers in Xiangjiang have an income of less than 2,000 Hong Kong dollars a month at this time, and most of them can't get it.

The film and television industry is even lower.

For example, Li Lichi, a famous director in Xiangjiang, had a monthly salary of only 1,400 yuan when he joined Asia Satellite TV in 1984.

The monthly salary of 1400 is actually the average salary of ATV at this time, and it is not deliberately harsh.

As for TVB, the average monthly salary is only 1,500 yuan, which is only a little more than 100 yuan more than ATV.

It should also be noted that this 1400, and 1500, is all income, and other benefits such as insurance are also included, and if you want to pay insurance, you have to pay for it yourself.

As for rent, most young people rent a house, usually for four or five hundred months, and they usually share a house.

This kind of 7,000-month-a-month house is usually rented by large families.

Of course, this price is also very suitable, after all, this side of Happy Valley in Wan Chai District is also close to Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital, a proper high-end location!

Renting a house in this kind of area is still a big house of more than 100 square meters, and the rent of 7,000 a month is really cheap.

In fact, the landlord originally asked for 8,000 a month, but first, this kind of house is actually not easy to rent, and secondly, Lou Xiao'e rents for a long time, and it is rented according to the whole year, so it is cheap, it is 7,000 a month, but you have to pay a year's money first, that is, 84,000.

If this were not the case, it would not have been possible to rent a house here quickly for 7,000 months.

During the rental period, Cao Zhiqiang naturally accompanied Lou Xiao'e to go with him, after all, he had to see the environment in person to rest assured.

After looking at the environment, Cao Zhiqiang was satisfied.

Needless to say, the location of that house, the famous high-end old area of Xiangjiang, there is absolutely no problem with public security or something, and other whether it is education, medical care, eating, drinking and playing, it is all available, which is very convenient.

As for the house itself, although it is a little old, it is very well maintained, and the space inside is not small.

The decoration is very good, and even the division of four bedrooms and one living room is very clear.

In addition to a large living room and a kitchen, there is a master bedroom, a second bedroom, a study, and a maid's room.

There are two toilets, one large and one small, both of which are flush toilets.

But what's interesting is that the water in the toilet bowl is piped separately, and the flushing water is actually seawater, not tap water.

In addition, there are also a lot of household appliances, such as TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners, electric fans, everything.

Especially the installation of air conditioning, very much praised.

You know, it's very hot here in Xiangjiang, and it's really hard to survive without air conditioning in summer.

Of course, because it is a subtropical marine climate, most of the air conditioners here only have refrigeration, no heating, and because of this, they are usually called air conditioners, not air conditioners.

So, if you talk about air conditioning, people will know that you're from the mainland, and then most locals will despise you.

Well, regional discrimination is everywhere, and it's nothing.

After all, compared with regional discrimination, the rich are the real masters, and there are more cases of rich people discriminating against the poor.

The house is solved, and the next step is to solve the problem of the domestic helper.

On the Xiangjiang side, the service industry is very developed, and there are too many professional labor agency companies, and it is not difficult to find a helper.

Don't be so troublesome, just find the largest and best local agency near the house, and ask them to help recommend.

Not to mention, the professionals are really professional, and they soon gave a lot of choices, all of which have resumes and photos, and they can be tried for a month at will, and they look formal.

In the end, at Lou Xiao'e's suggestion, Cao Zhiqiang selected two domestic helpers.

One is thirty-two years old, the other is twenty-five, both women.

The thirty-two-year-old woman's surname was Zhang, and her English name was Amanda.

Amanda's family, originally from Baoding, Hebei Province, used to work as a nurse in obstetrics and gynecology after she came here with her parents to settle here.

She quit her job as a nurse because she got married, and later after the divorce, she simply became a nanny, and served several masters successively, and the reviews were very good.

Like accompanying mothers, making confinement meals, and taking care of babies, this Sister Zhang is very good at it.

And she has been married once and divorced again, which is similar to Zhu Lin's situation, plus she was originally from Baoding, Hebei, so there is no pressure in language communication.

As for the twenty-five-year-old woman's surname is Lin, and her English name is Nicole, she is also from the mainland and was originally from Guangdong.

After coming here, she came directly to work as a nanny after graduating from middle school, during which she learned a lot of skills, not only can clean up the house, but also can cook and cook, and can drive, and she also has a certain foundation in English.

To put it simply, the two nannies have their own strengths, and they can form a high and low match.

For example, in terms of escorting, you can let that Sister Zhang do it.

Others, like cleaning the room and running errands, were left to Nicole.

Two professional women to take care of Zhu Lin and a pregnant woman are enough.

For example, when the due date comes, you can go directly to the Sanatorium & Hospital and be accompanied by more professional staff.

Anyway, as long as the money is in place, everything is not a problem.

By the way, and the most important point is that these two nannies are very strict-mouthed.

At least judging from their past resumes, these two people do not have a habit of mouthing big, and there are no similar complaints.

As for why they did not accompany one master for a long time, but changed several masters.

This is also very simple, that is, those who can hire them at this level are basically the middle class, and they can't be the real rich people.

After all, the real rich people, caregivers and domestic helpers, are generally confidants, and they usually don't go to any intermediary company to find them.

Therefore, generally only the middle class, or the little rich with a little money, will hire them.

And the middle-class and the little rich, the purpose of hiring them is usually to take care of pregnant women.

In other words, Sister Zhang and Miss Lin are both nannies who professionally accompany pregnant women, and the situation is similar to that of confinement sisters.

What about this kind of nanny, because it requires more professional skills, and of course the price is higher.

So, generally speaking, once a pregnant woman has a baby, these people are over their tasks and usually do not continue to be employed.

They will then continue to work through the agency to find the next pregnant woman and continue their escort work.

In short, it's not that they don't want to start from the beginning and only accompany one family, but it's really the kind of nanny job that is similar to serving a family for life, which is basically difficult to find, and most of the time, it is a short-term job, especially when it comes to taking care of pregnant women.

Long-term nannies are not absent, but what about that kind of nanny, it is usually a Filipino maid who is cheaper and more cost-effective.

But what about Filipino maids, it's okay to be an ordinary person, that is, to clean the room, buy groceries, etc., you say that taking care of children and pregnant women, at least for now, many Xiangjiang locals can't believe it.

The large-scale popularity of Filipino maids in Xiangjiang was actually after the 90s, and the 80s at this time were just emerging, and on the whole, the quality was far inferior to the local nannies in Xiangjiang.

The house was rented and hired, and the next thing was to let the two nannies clean the room and let Zhu Lin move in the next day.

In these cases, Cao Zhiqiang doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

Anyway, there is a phone in the rented house, and Cao Zhiqiang really wants to talk to Zhu Lin, but it is not difficult.

For example, if you are in Xiangjiang, you can call and chat with Zhu Lin directly in the hotel.

If you go back, you can also go to the post and telecommunications office, or simply make a cross-border call at a foreign-related hotel, which is no problem.

As long as you know the phone number, you will have no problem making calls.

At most, the two parties agree on an approximate time, and don't call in the middle of the night.

The next day, Zhu Lin, accompanied by Lou Xiao'e, came to the new house to live, and first let Zhu Lin get familiar with the environment on this side of the house, and by the way, get familiar with Amanda and Nicole, who took care of her.

Well, in fact, it is a custom here to call English names, especially when addressing servants.

At least, you can't let Zhu Lin, the hostess, call Amanda Sister Zhang and Nicole Xiaolin, it's not impossible to call it like this, but outsiders will be very awkward when they hear it, or they think you are very dirty.

Of course, if you can't accept calling them by English names, you can also call them Chinese nicknames.

For example, Amanda's full Chinese name is Zhang Fang, you can call her Afang.

Nicole's full Chinese name is Lin Suzhen, so you can call her Ah Zhen.

As for Ah Fang and Ah Zhen's names for Zhu Lin, they are very consistent, they both call Miss, or Miss Zhu.

Miss is usually called, and Miss Zhu is the official title to the outside world.

Of course, in order to better follow the local customs, Cao Zhiqiang also gave Zhu Lin an English name, called Juleen, which is almost the same pronunciation as Zhu Lin, also Zhu Lin, or Zhu Lien.

Externally, for example, in the face of some uninvited neighbors or something, she can call herself Julien in English, or let people call her Miss Zhu.

If you are more familiar, you can let people call her Ah Lin.

To put it bluntly, it is necessary to try to follow the local customs and not engage in specialization.

Since you have come to Xiangjiang, you naturally have to follow the general rules here, so that you can better integrate into it.

If you call you a comrade, a teacher, or a master, as in the north, it's not impossible, but it's definitely not appropriate, and people will laugh at it, and the people you call it like that won't be happy.

Of course, there are some other precautions, but these specific things should be answered by the woman named Ah Fang or Amanda in the future.

Of course, due to Zhu Lin's special situation, Zhu Lin should live as deep as possible during the period when he is waiting to give birth here, do not run around, and do not meet people randomly.

Going back and waiting for Cao Zhiqiang to handle Zhu Lin's identity well, he can stay in Xiangjiang justifiably, especially after the child is born, it is not too late to move around.

After explaining the matter clearly and agreeing with Zhu Lin that if there is any trouble, she will call her or her assistant at any time, Lou Xiao'e will leave first.

After all, Lou Xiao'e still has a lot of things to do, not only to deal with her own company's affairs, but also to help Cao Zhiqiang handle that kind of offshore company.

Well, what about this kind of company, Cao Zhiqiang is not impossible to find, but after all, he is not familiar with here.

When Cao Zhiqiang was looking for an offshore company in Japan, he also asked his Japanese friend Nobuo Tomioka for help.

If there is no local person who is familiar with the situation to help, and you will only be deceived if you go to find it yourself.

In the same way, Cao Zhiqiang has no relatives and no reason on the Xiangjiang side, so naturally he can only ask Lou Xiao'e for help.

Of course, if Cao Zhiqiang is willing to find an organization and ask Uncle Lin above to help, he will definitely be able to find an organization here in Xiangjiang and his own people who will help him.

But then the nature changes.

At least for now, Cao Zhiqiang doesn't want to trouble the organization in this kind of matter.

After all, strictly speaking, this is a private matter.

Also, as long as Cao Zhiqiang is connected with those who are engaged in finance, and then secretly set up a few offshore companies and offshore accounts, it will be much easier.

As for the company that Lou Xiao'e helped to run, even if it is a thing on everyone's face, it is put on display for everyone to see, and it is also fooling.

Cao Zhiqiang's real wealth, especially the wealth that cannot be seen, is ironclad and cannot use these accounts.

As soon as Lou Xiao'e left, Cao Zhiqiang asked Amanda and Nicole to go outside first, and go to the supermarket by the way to buy some vegetables and fruits.

This situation is obvious, that is, Cao Zhiqiang wants to be alone with Zhu Lin for a while.

Amanda and Nicole are very eye-catching, take the money, leave without saying a word, don't even ask, and their expressions don't change, highlighting a profession.

If you were a domestic person, you would probably have squeezed your eyebrows a long time ago.

But here in Xiangjiang, this is very common.

After all, there are two and three mothers everywhere here, this situation is too common, and they have not served such a second wife and the outer house, so they have long been surprised.

Everyone is out to make money, of course, you must abide by professional ethics, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't say what you shouldn't say.

In this way, when only Cao Zhiqiang and Zhu Lin were left in the room, Cao Zhiqiang sat on the sofa, hugged Zhu Lin who was leaning on his arms, and enjoyed a moment of peace.

After a while, Cao Zhiqiang sighed softly: "Sister Zhu, you won't blame me if I do this, right?" ”

Zhu Lin continued to lie in Cao Zhiqiang's arms, closed his eyes and said softly:

"How come, I chose the road, and it was I who hooked up with you by any means to get this kind of ending.

So blame me, blame me, blame me for causing you trouble.

Zhiqiang, in fact, there is nothing wrong with you, it is me who is wrong.

I, I'm a bad woman. ”

"That's what I said." Cao Zhiqiang smiled.

"How can I blame you, and a slap can't make a sound, this matter is not your own business.

It's me who has been plotting against you for a long time, but before I have time to do anything to you, you came to me first, and I pushed the boat down.

Otherwise, do you really think that I will be tricked by your jerky little tricks at the beginning?

How could you possibly hook up if I didn't want to?

So, don't think too well of me, I'm the bad guy. ”

Zhu Lin opened his eyes and smiled at Cao Zhiqiang: "You are really good at talking, you must have deceived a lot of women!" ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled faintly, touched Zhu Lin's hair and said, "No matter what, you are the first woman to give birth to me, so if you don't mind the name, then live well."

For reasons I can't tell you yet, I really can't give you a name right now.

But don't worry, I will definitely cover your life with your children in the future, and I will definitely spend more time with you.

By the way, when the child is born, I will not only let the child receive the best education, but also make you a big star.

I do what I say! (End of chapter)
