The younger generation, starting from where the wind blows...

Chapter 228 Innate Maid's Sacred Body
Liu Wenjing hugged her luggage bag tightly, feeling both nervous and inferior, and didn't dare to look at Yang Muye's expression.

What if I get rejected?
I should have known better than to refuse Gao Yunyue's gift of 20,000 yuan because of that ridiculous pride in my heart.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.

Just as he was lost in thought, Yang Muye's voice rang out.

"A month probably won't be enough—"

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Wenjing suddenly raised her head, her voice pleading: "If a month is too long, can half a month be okay? I'll move out as soon as I find a job."

Yang Muye remained unmoved and turned to look at Gao Yunyue:
“I live in a long-term rental apartment there, with a minimum lease term of six months.”

"Then let's rent it for six months first. Anyway, Wenjing works in Shanghai and needs a place to stay."

After Gao Yunyue finished speaking, she turned to look at Liu Wenjing, who was standing there stunned.

"Wenjing, what do you think?"

Liu Wenjing snapped out of her daze and immediately bowed ninety degrees to Gao Yunyue.

"Thank you, Aunt Gao!"

Yang Muye then suggested that they find a place to eat first, and then take Liu Wenjing back to the Love Apartment.

Gao Yunyue nodded in agreement, and she also wanted to see where Yang Muye was currently living.

“Aunt Gao, eating out is too expensive. If you don’t mind, you can go to the market to buy some vegetables and I’ll cook for you. My cooking is very delicious,” Liu Wenjing suggested.

She came to Shanghai alone to stay with her cousin, and she had thought about starting her own food stall.

Liu Wenjing is quite confident when it comes to cooking.

Gao Yunyue's heart stirred. When she and Yang Deyuan first arrived in Shenzhen, they also started from a roadside snack stall and gradually developed into the hotel and catering group they are today.

In Liu Wenjing, Gao Yunyue vaguely saw a resemblance to herself from back then.

Of course, there was another, more important reason: Gao Yunyue decided to wait until she saw Liu Wenjing cook for herself before making any decisions.

Seeing that Gao Yunyue had agreed, Yang Muyi immediately took out his phone and called Zeng Xiaoxian.

"Teacher Zeng, I'm at Xuwan Police Station now. Are you familiar with this area? What's the nearest supermarket?"

"There's a Walmart? Great."

"By the way, have you ordered takeout for dinner yet?"

"We haven't ordered yet. Okay, then you don't need to order. My mom is coming to Shanghai today, and she's going to visit Love Apartment later. Let's go to the supermarket to buy some groceries first, and then we can cook together when we get back."

Just as Yang Muye hung up the phone, a taxi pulled up on the side of the road.

Xu Sanduo sat in the passenger seat, while Yang Muye, Gao Yunyue, and Liu Wenjing sat in the back.

I went to Walmart and bought all the ingredients I needed for dinner.

Liu Wenjing was shocked by the prices in Shanghai. Ordinary vegetables were three or four times more expensive than in her hometown, and some were even more than ten times more expensive, which made her hesitant to buy any vegetables.

All the dishes were chosen by Gao Yunyue, and they were all dishes that Yang Muye liked to eat when he was a child.

When it came time to pay the bill, Gao Yunyue swiped her card.

When Liu Wenjing saw the bill, she was secretly astonished.

This is too expensive.

I suddenly have this worry that even if I find a job in the future, I won't be able to afford to live in Shanghai.

After shopping for groceries at the supermarket, Xu Sanduo took over the task of carrying all the bags.

Liu Wenjing wanted to help, but she insisted on carrying her own luggage, which Xu Sanduo refused.

Despite the large number of bags and packages, none of them actually weighed more than ten kilograms.

The soldiers are fully armed and weigh 30 to 40 kilograms, so carrying this little bit of food is a piece of cake for Xu Sanduo.

Back at Love Apartment by car, they ran into Hu Yifei and Huo Mei, who were returning from outside "starving".

The restaurant the two had agreed to go to was too crowded; the wait was over an hour. In the end, Hu Yifei suggested that they go back and cook something themselves or order takeout.

Yang Muye introduced to Gao Yunyue:

“Mom, this is Hu Yifei. She is a graduate student at Dongda University and also works as a teaching assistant in the university’s academic affairs office. She recommended me for my enrollment procedures and for renting an apartment here.”

"Huo Mei is also a senior from Dongda University, but she graduated several years ago. She used to be in charge of building the logistics of Yuntian Mall. I just recruited her to be in charge of Cainiao Station business."

"Hello Auntie!"

"Hello, Mr. Gao!"

Hu Yifei and Huo Mei greeted Gao Yunyue in unison.

The way Huo Mei was referred to surprised Gao Yunyue.

"you know me?"

“I met you at a business banquet in Shenzhen when I was working at Yuntian Mall.”

It turned out to be the case.

Gao Yunyue nodded.

Upon learning that Huo Mei and Hu Yifei had not eaten yet, Gao Yunyue immediately invited the two women to eat together at room 3602.

Huo Mei and Hu Yifei exchanged a glance and readily accepted the invitation.

In fact, when they saw the bags of ingredients that Xu Sanduo was carrying, they already had the idea of ​​getting a free meal.

Then Yang Muye introduced today's "chef" to Huo Mei and Hu Yifei—Liu Wenjing.

In front of Huo Mei, a white-collar elite, and Hu Yifei, a highly educated graduate student, Liu Wenjing's inferiority complex, which only had a junior high school education, was magnified countless times, and she even stumbled over her words due to nervousness.

However, Huo Mei and Hu Yifei felt great sympathy for Liu Wenjing after learning about her experiences.

Hu Yifei even took the initiative to negotiate with the landlord, guaranteeing to help Liu Wenjing get that small room at the lowest possible rent.

Before the matter was even settled, Liu Wenjing excitedly bowed ninety degrees to Hu Yifei in gratitude.

Hu Yifei quickly helped Liu Wenjing up: "It's alright, it's alright. We'll be living together from now on, so it's only right that we help each other out."

Huo Mei nodded in agreement, "Yes, we'll be waiting for you to cook delicious food for us in the future."

Moved, Liu Wenjing secretly glanced at Gao Yunyue and Yang Muye, mother and son, beside her.

She knew very well that Hu Yifei and Huo Mei were only being so warm and friendly to her because of Gao Yunyue and Yang Muye.

If she hadn't stepped forward to help Gao Yunyue chase after the bag snatcher, a girl from the mountains of Jiangxi Province would never have had the chance to come into contact with people in the social circles of Hu Yifei and Huo Mei.

This contrasts sharply with Liu Wenjing's previous experience at the train station, where she was met with disdain and indifference when she asked someone for directions.

How wonderful it would be if I could integrate into this circle someday.

Although she knew she shouldn't have such expectations, Liu Wenjing couldn't help but fantasize about it in her heart.

The group entered the elevator chatting and laughing.

Zeng Xiaoxian and Wang Tiezhu, who had received advance notice, were already waiting at the entrance of room 3602.

Yang Muye introduced his two roommates to Gao Yunyue.

At the same time, Liu Wenjing was introduced to Zeng Xiaoxian and Wang Tiezhu.

Upon seeing Liu Wenjing, who was dressed simply and had a shy expression, Zeng Xiaoxian's eyes lit up.

He stepped forward and offered to help Liu Wenjing with her luggage.

Unable to refuse, Liu Wenjing had no choice but to give the luggage to Zeng Xiaoxian.

Seeing Zeng Xiaoxian about to walk into room 3602 with his luggage, Hu Yifei reminded him impatiently:

"Wenjing's room is this way!"

Zeng Xiaoxian laughed awkwardly twice.

"I'm sorry, I made a mistake."

The crowd split into two groups.

Yang Muye led Gao Yunyue into room 3602 for a tour, while Wang Tiezhu helped Xu Sanduo carry the vegetables into the kitchen.

Zeng Xiaoxian helped Liu Wenjing carry her luggage to room 3601, Hu Yifei went to the balcony to call the landlord, and Huo Mei showed Liu Wenjing around the room.

This room is indeed much smaller than the other three rooms.

Inside, besides a bed and a wardrobe, there was no other furniture. But for Liu Wenjing, this was already quite a luxury.

After putting down her luggage, Liu Wenjing went back to room 3602 to start washing vegetables and cooking.

There wasn't enough room for everyone in the kitchen, so in the end only Zeng Xiaoxian stayed behind to help Liu Wenjing.

An hour later, a sumptuous dinner with twelve delicious and visually appealing dishes was served.

The two dining tables, 3601 and 3602, had to be pushed together to fit all the food.

Before cooking, Liu Wenjing asked everyone what their preferences were.

Huo Mei is from Sichuan Province and is also one of the Southwest F4. Her tastes are similar to those of Yang Muye and Gao Yunyue.

Xu Sanduo comes from the Central Plains Province, and his taste is relatively balanced.

Hu Yifei and Zeng Xiaoxian are locals from Shanghai, while Wang Tiezhu is from the neighboring province of Jiangsu and has a sweeter palate.

Whether sweet or spicy, every dish Liu Wenjing made successfully won over the taste buds of everyone present.

Zeng Xiaoxian couldn't stop eating the spicy food, and while drinking water, he kept putting food into his bowl.

Huo Mei, who also doesn't particularly like sweet flavors, praised the local dishes highly.

Even Gao Yunyue, the CEO of the hotel and catering group, acknowledged Liu Wenjing's culinary skills.

To be able to cook home-style dishes to this standard is truly a testament to talent.

After the meal, everyone pitched in to help clean up.

Seeing that some leftover food was being thrown away, even though it wasn't much, Liu Wenjing still felt a little heartbroken.

She's used to being frugal back in her hometown.

Seeing that everyone else seemed to take it for granted, I could only silently accept it.

When Huo Mei and Hu Yifei were washing dishes, they put on gloves and offered to help, but Liu Wenjing persuaded them to stay away.

Liu Wenjing can wash these few dishes by herself.

Hu Yifei returned to the living room and told Yang Muye about Liu Wenjing's rent.

Just like the room Xu Sanduo lived in, he only needed half the normal amount.

Because the kitchen was semi-open, Liu Wenjing also heard their conversation.

While washing the dishes, Liu Wenjing silently noted down the monthly rent.

Her plan is to pay her own rent once she finds a job.

Of course, the premise is that you have enough money to pay the rent.

Xu Sanduo had just finished washing the dishes when he walked into the kitchen with his phone in hand.

"Wenjing, it's your cousin on the phone."

Liu Wenjing quickly wiped the water off her hands and took the Apple phone with both hands.

"Hey, cousin."

"Wenjing, why haven't you come yet? Didn't I send you the address via text message?"

"Cousin, you and your wife have had a tough time. Since there's no room in the shop, I won't go over and trouble you."

“Wenjing, listen to your cousin’s advice, you should go back to your hometown. It will be very difficult for a girl like you to establish yourself here.”

"Cousin, I've found a place to stay. Everyone here is very nice. I'll try my best to stay in Shanghai, just like you."

"What? You found a place to stay?"

"Okay, I'll come visit you and your wife again when I have time after I find a job."

Without giving her cousin any chance to ask further questions, she hung up the phone.

Xu Sanduo had already taught her how to hang up the phone; she just needed to press the red call button on the screen.

This phone is really high-tech.

Once I find a job and start earning money, I'll save up to buy one.

Liu Wenjing returned the phone to Xu Sanduo.

Gao Yunyue stood up from the living room sofa, waved, and gestured for Liu Wenjing to come with her to the balcony.

There were a few things Gao Yunyue wanted to say to Liu Wenjing alone.

The two went out onto the balcony together.

Liu Wenjing stood obediently in front of Gao Yunyue.

"Wenjing, what is your educational background?"

"Auntie, I stopped studying after graduating from junior high school."

"Did you fail the high school entrance exam, or did your family stop supporting you?"

"I passed the exam, but my family felt that girls are going to get married anyway, so finishing junior high school and knowing a little bit of culture is enough."

Hearing this, Gao Yunyue couldn't help but sigh.

The preference for sons over daughters is the same everywhere.

"Wenjing, your cousin is right. With only a junior high school education, it is indeed difficult to find a good job in Shanghai. I do have a job here, but I don't know if you would be willing to do it."

"Hardworking, hardworking!"

Liu Wenjing nodded hurriedly and said, "Auntie, I can endure any hardship."

"It's not about suffering, I just want you to work as Ono's nanny for a while."

what?
Liu Wenjing suddenly raised her head and looked at Gao Yunyue with disbelief.

In her understanding, a nanny is someone who takes care of children or the elderly.

Yang Muye is the same age as her, yet Gao Yunyue still wants to hire a nanny for him.
Gao Yunyue continued to explain, "It's just cooking for him every day, cleaning his room, washing his clothes, and so on."

Liu Wenjing was stunned.

This isn't being a nanny; it's clearly being a maid for a rich young master.

"Of course, if you don't want to, Auntie won't force you," Gao Yunyue's voice rang out again.

Liu Wenjing snapped out of her daze and quickly nodded.

Only after he finished did he realize that nodding might cause Gao Yunyue to misunderstand, thinking that he was unwilling, so he quickly shook his head.

"Auntie, I do!"

When she said this, Liu Wenjing's face turned red all the way to the roots of her neck.

After returning to the living room with Gao Yunyue, Liu Wenjing didn't dare to look Yang Muye in the eye.

Gao Yunyue sat for a while and then prepared to leave.

Yang Muye and Xu Sanduo went to see Gao Yunyue off, while Hu Yifei and Huo Mei pulled Liu Wenjing back to the living room of 3601 and sat down.

"Wenjing, what did Aunt Gao say when she called you to the balcony?" Hu Yifei asked curiously.

"That's it," Hu Yifei quickly added, "If it involves privacy, then there's no need to talk about it."

Liu Wenjing lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, her voice barely audible.

"Aunt Gao wants me to be Mr. Yang's nanny and take care of her daily life."

Huo Mei's eyes lit up, and she looked at Hu Yifei with a smug expression.

"See? I wasn't wrong, was I?"

Hu Yifei looked at Liu Wenjing with some reluctance and pressed for an answer:
"Is it just being a nanny, nothing else?"

Seeing Liu Wenjing look up in astonishment, Hu Yifei realized she had made a mistake and immediately patted her mouth.

"Wenjing, don't misunderstand. I'm not talking about the feudal concept of a maidservant serving a rich young master. I'm asking if Aunt Gao has asked you to do anything other than cooking, washing clothes, and cleaning?"

To prevent Liu Wenjing from misunderstanding again, Hu Yifei directly confronted her.

This wasn't the question she wanted to ask; it was one that Yang Muye had asked her to ask.
