Chapter 1975 So-called Foundation
Aqin quickly brought Chen Chuan his meal, and Uncle Rong set out chopsticks for him. All the couple had to do was open their mouths to eat; the uncles practically fed them.
When Shen Xi saw that Aqin and the others had prepared hot towels and were ready to wipe their mouths at any time, she was so frightened that she quickly whispered to Chen Chuan, "Hurry up and take care of it, I'm scared."
She couldn't possibly be afraid; at most, she would feel uncomfortable.
How could Chen Chuan not understand his wife? He said to Uncle Rong, "Starting today, you two will go to Xiangsong Garden."
"Yes, young master."
"We'll move there when Caibao Kindergarten is on holiday."
"Yes, young master."
"There's no need to come over here unless it's absolutely necessary."
"Yes, young master."
A minute later, Uncle Rong and the others disappeared. If it weren't for the steaming hot food on the table, Shen Xi would have almost thought that everything just now was her hallucination.
She slammed her chopsticks down.
"Chen Chuan, explain yourself clearly!"
Chen Chuan glanced at her as he ate, saying, "Didn't you know we were going to hire someone?"
"I know, I didn't know, you're asking for help..."
Five people came at once; if you didn't know better, you'd think she was going to give birth to an entire army.
Chen Chuan grinned and said, "It's not impossible for you to have a child if you want to."
Shen Xi immediately clutched her stomach: "The doctor said there's a high chance I'm carrying triplets."
The smile on Chen Chuan's face vanished instantly: "When did you say that? How come I didn't know?"
Haha, you little brat, I'll teach you a lesson!
The moment the topic of the fetus comes up, Chen Chuan's brilliant mind goes blank.
Unfortunately, he still doesn't seem to have recovered from the shock of the unplanned pregnancy. Even emotionally stable people find it difficult to adjust to the emotional turmoil that comes with a blow.
Chen Chuan looked at his wife's subtly upturned lips and smiled back.
Well, his wife has been teasing him a lot lately about having a second child, which seems to make her feel better. To keep his wife happy, he's actually willing to play along. Look, she's happy again.
The couple, of course, it's a matter of you lying to me and me lying to you. As long as everyone cooperates, everything will be fine.
After comforting her husband, Shen Xi felt better herself.
I can finally think normally again.
“I remember now, Uncle Rong, isn’t he your old butler in Hong Kong?”
"Ah."
No wonder, he has the air of an old butler. Don't be fooled by his title as butler into thinking he's a servant; Uncle Rong is actually a graduate of a prestigious hotel management school in Switzerland, a true high achiever.
Knowledge comes in stages, and skills have their own specializations. This person is truly a professional in service management, fluent in five languages.
The annual salary is terrifying.
When Shen Xi went to Gangcheng to attend Wan Shan and Mo Yanan's wedding, she stayed in Qingshui Bay. However, the old housekeeper took his annual leave that time and was said to have gone to Greece for vacation.
So they never met.
That time, it was a middle-aged butler, who was the adopted child of the old butler. Both generations had served the Chen family.
Uncle Rong used to work for Chan Ching-yuen. Chan Ching-yuen was notoriously difficult to deal with in Hong Kong. Anyone who could make a living under her was no ordinary person.
But Uncle Rong stayed in Clearwater Bay for forty years, serving as Chan Ching-yuen's right-hand man, whom she couldn't do without, which shows his capabilities.
Chen Chuan was raised by him. Although he had an adopted son, he still had a deeper bond with Chen Chuan, who was going to take care of him in his old age and see him off in his final days.
He had originally planned to raise his adopted son to take over his work and then retire to enjoy life.
Who would have thought that the young master would want to have a second child, and twins at that!
Why would he want to retire? He can work for another twenty years and take good care of the young ladies and gentlemen!
When Uncle Rong received Chen Chuan's call, he immediately ordered people to be brought to Hecheng.
"Aqin and the others are also from Gangcheng. They are experienced in both taking care of children and doing housework."
Actually, Ah Qin and the others were originally prepared by Uncle Rong for Cai Bao. However, Chen Chuan wanted to personally experience the joy of raising and taking care of children. He originally just wanted to give it a try, but after trying it, he couldn't bear to part with his own daughter.
Ah Qin and the others then had no use for their skills.
Originally, Uncle Rong thought there would never be a chance, after all, he was the young master's confidant and knew Chen Chuan's thoughts all too well.
Who would have thought, an unexpected second pregnancy!
Well done, young lady! When she gets back, he'll prepare her favorite fried chicken legs.
Chen Chuan introduced the four people to Shen Xi.
Ah Rong is skilled at driving and gardening, so the large courtyard of Xiangsong Garden can be managed by him, as can daily transportation matters.
Aqin is the best cook. Whether it's making postpartum meals, meals for pregnant women, or meals for children, she can do it all with ease. She also does housework meticulously and cleanly.
Ah Feng and Ah Ling are both experienced in taking care of babies and pregnant women, so Shen Xi's postpartum care and twin care can be entrusted to them.
What is Chen Chuan responsible for?
He's just an assistant; he does whatever his wife needs him to do.
Oh, by the way, Ah Ling and Ah Hu are a married couple.
The child is grown up and is studying abroad in high school.
After hearing this, Shen Xi could only exclaim, "How much salary do you pay them to send their children to study abroad?"
Moreover, they were sent away during junior high school, which is no cheap expense.
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Labor costs in Hong Kong are not cheap, and they have been working there for more than ten or twenty years. We know them well."
It's not about the money; the key is peace of mind.
Yes, Shen Xi knows her husband very well.
In essence, Chen Chuan is a suspicious person.
Perhaps because he was kidnapped by his own father when he was a child and the father wanted to kill him, he has no sense of security and does not easily trust others. He likes to have complete control over both people and things.
Even when hiring people, he chose to transfer them directly from the port city instead of hiring them from here.
It's like... in ancient times, large families preferred to have their own children, generation after generation. Even though the number of servants kept increasing and the expenses for raising them were enormous, they still didn't like to just buy a few people.
Because I feel safe using Jiashengzi products.
Although this analogy may not be quite appropriate, it conveys the same idea.
Moreover, Shen Xi had long noticed that the temperaments and personalities of the servants in Hong Kong were quite different from those here.
They are more obedient, unlike here, where the nannies and housekeepers you hire are often unwanted by other families, who boss around the employers, criticize and find fault with everything.
Some of the aunties even do bad things out of jealousy that the host family is living too well.
Such news is quite common.
Child abuse also occurs frequently.
With Chen Chuan's personality, how could he be willing to gamble his own child on the nanny's character? He's not that kind of person.
