The poor husband I picked up turned out to be from a wealthy family

Chapter 859 Selecting a Nanny

After a while.

As dusk fell, the priceless crystal chandelier cast a soft and warm glow in the Shen family's living room.

The air was filled with the faint aroma of food after dinner and a subtle sense of parting.

Nanny Liu Ma was quietly clearing the table. Her movements were as quick and meticulous as ever. She handled each dish with care, as if she was leaving her last attachment to this home.

In the past few years, Liu Ma has participated in almost all of the warmest growth moments of this small family.

Shen Qing sat on the sofa, looking at Liu Ma's slightly hunched back, feeling a mixture of emotions. Liu Ma was leaving, saying that the elderly in her hometown needed someone to take care of her. This was a reasonable reason, and Shen Qing had no choice but to let her go.

"Auntie Liu," Shen Qing called softly, with a hint of reluctance in her voice that she herself was not aware of.

Aunt Liu turned around, a familiar, simple, and loving smile on her face: "Hey, Madam, is there something wrong?"

"Are you done with your work? Come and sit for a while." Shen Qing patted the sofa beside her.

Aunt Liu wiped her hands and sat down halfway, somewhat stiffly. "Madam, what can I do for you?"

Shen Qing took out a thick envelope from her handbag and handed it to Aunt Liu: "Aunt Liu, this is this month's salary, and there is also a small gift from me and my husband."

Aunt Liu was stunned for a moment and quickly waved her hands: "Oh, Miss Shen, how can this be! You have already paid the salary. I appreciate your kindness, but I can't accept this money!" She knew that the salary given by the Shen family was already very generous.

Shen Qing stuffed the envelope into Liu Ma's hand without saying a word. The thickness of the envelope was obviously more than the usual monthly salary.

Her tone was gentle but with an irresistible persistence. This was Shen Qing's gentleness, not the decisive "boss" attitude in the business world - that was her husband's label. At this moment, she was just a grateful employer and a nostalgic friend.

"Auntie Liu, please listen to me." Shen Qing held Auntie Liu's rough hands, the same hands that had tenderly held her child countless times. "Thank you so much for taking care of me and my child over the years."

She paused, a hint of moisture welling up in her eyes. "You must accept this money. Firstly, it's to thank you for your hard work and care for us mother and son over the years; secondly, it's a small gift from us to your grandson. You've given so much for us, so this is nothing."

When Aunt Liu heard Shen Qing's sincere words, her eyes turned red.

She has been working in the Shen family for so long. Although Shen Qing comes from a wealthy family and is the wife of a "domineering boss", she has never been arrogant. She treats people gently and politely, and they respect her even more.

This extra thought at this moment is heavy with weight. It is not only money, but also the recognition and friendship for her efforts over the years.

"Madam...you..." Aunt Liu choked with sobs, a thousand words stuck in her throat, and finally she could only say one sentence, "Thank you, madam, thank you and the young master..."

"Don't say that." Shen Qing smiled and wiped her eyes. "When you have time, come back often to see the children. He will definitely miss you too."

"Yeah, yeah!" Aunt Liu nodded vigorously, clutching the envelope tightly, as if holding a precious friendship. "Yes, yes! I will definitely come back to see An An and Kang Kang!"

Under the light of the crystal chandelier, Shen Qing's gentle profile appeared particularly soft. She might not be a woman who needs to work hard for a living in the traditional sense, but she knows how to be grateful and cherish the efforts of those around her.

. . . . . . .

Another day.

Shen Qing went to the housekeeping company.

The afternoon sun shines through the clear glass windows onto the spotless reception area of ​​"Anxin Housekeeping".

Shen Qing sat on the soft sofa, her fingertips unconsciously sliding across the smooth leather armrests, with a barely perceptible hint of sadness between her brows.

Aunt Liu is very skillful and has a gentle and kind personality. Not only does she keep the house in order, she also cares for Shen Qing sincerely.

She wants to find someone who is like Liu Ma.

"Ms. Shen, here are the information of several aunts we have selected. Please take a look." The manager of the housekeeping company is a smart and capable middle-aged woman. With a professional smile on her face, she handed over a stack of resumes with both hands.

Shen Qing came to her senses and took the resume. Her fingertips felt slightly cold. She took a deep breath, suppressed the discomfort in her heart, and began to read it carefully.

The women in the photos have different demeanors: some appear capable, others down-to-earth. Their resumes list age, place of origin, work experience, cuisine of expertise, and every detail is clear and concise.

She looked slowly and carefully, as if searching for a lost treasure.

Experience and skills are important, but what she values ​​more is the "kindness" like Aunt Zhang.

That is not something that can be written on a resume. It is a temperament that comes from the inside out, a kind of warmth that makes people feel like they are in the spring breeze when they get along with the person.

"This Aunt Li has worked for a high-end family for five years. She has a very good reputation and is particularly good at Chinese and Western food." The manager introduced at the right time.

Shen Qing nodded, her gaze lingering on Aunt Li's slightly serious photo for a few seconds, then turned to the next page.

"This Auntie Wang has a cheerful personality and is very experienced in raising children. She previously raised two babies in the same family."

Shen Qing looked at the photo of Aunt Wang with an exaggerated smile and shook her head slightly. Being cheerful was good, but she seemed to lack a bit of calmness and consideration.

She flipped through the pages, occasionally pausing to ask a question or two about work details or family situations, but mostly observing in silence.

Her eyes were focused and cautious, not a hint of perfunctoriness due to her status as the "domineering boss's wife." Instead, she was even more serious than the average employer. After all, this person was about to enter her life and take care of her home, and that trust couldn't be given lightly.

Shen Qing put down a stack of resumes and rubbed her sore eyes. Each of these women had their own strengths, but none of them seemed to be the right fit for her. She frowned slightly. Was it really that hard to find one?

The manager noticed her hesitation and said tentatively, "Ms. Shen, if you don't think these are suitable, we have a few new registrants here. They may not have as much experience, but they are honest and dedicated. Would you like to take a look?"

Shen Qing raised her head, a glimmer of hope rekindled in her eyes: "Okay, thank you for your help."

The new resume consisted of only a few thin pages. Shen Qing picked up the top one. The photo showed a middle-aged woman, seemingly around forty, wearing a plain plaid shirt and a simple ponytail. A shy, faint smile played on her face. Her eyes were clear, revealing a gentle and sincere air.

Shen Qing nodded, "That's her, I want to see her."

"Okay, Miss Shen, I'll arrange a meeting for you right away."

"Yeah!" Shen Qing narrowed her eyes. She was so picky because she wanted to choose a long-term one and didn't want to change back and forth. An An and Kang Kang were still young, so she couldn't choose easily.
