What’s with the huge grin?\" At some point, Su Qingya had sat down next to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was propping her chin on her hand, watching him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, ahem. When did you come down? I didn’t even see you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve been sitting here for a while! The moment I came down, I saw *someone* grinning like a fool. Bro, did something good happen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qingya leaned in close to Su Chen, a mischievous smirk on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she was young, she knew a thing or two about romance. She’d noticed something was up between Su Chen and Chen Mengyan when they were shopping today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First the clothes, then the bags... If there was nothing going on between them, there was no way in hell Su Qingya would believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling like his secret had been exposed, Su Chen irritably pushed her head away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you talking about? Go amuse yourself somewhere else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch.\" Su Qingya rolled her eyes at Su Chen and got up to walk toward the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, she reappeared holding a small bag full of snacks in her left hand and a fruit platter in her right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen thought she had brought them for him, but Su Qingya just did a little spin in front of him before heading upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight made Su Chen grit his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That little brat...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Su Chen could even complain, he saw the nanny, Aunt Tang, walking over with a fruit platter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Su, the young miss specifically asked me to cut this for you. Please let me know if there’s anything you don’t like, and I’ll keep it in mind for next time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen glanced at the platter on the table. It was filled with mostly his favorite fruits. ’Looks like that little brat Su Qingya has some conscience after all,’ he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Mm, a little... but not much!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I like all of these. Let’s just buy these from now on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Mr. Su!\" Aunt Tang nodded and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait a moment, Aunt Tang!\" Su Chen called out, having thought of something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Su, are there any other instructions?\" Tang Xiaomei looked at Su Chen, a bit fidgety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen noticed her nervousness and said with a smile, \"No need to be nervous, Aunt Tang. Please, have a seat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Xiaomei hesitated for a moment before sitting down on the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aunt Tang, I don’t think we’ve confirmed your salary yet, have we? What was your previous salary?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Su, that depends on the type of nanny you’re looking for.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Are there really different types of nannies?’ Su Chen was a bit surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he understood that it was normal not to know, since he’d never had any experience with this profession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, tell me more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, Mr. Su.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Xiaomei organized her thoughts before speaking. \"Nannies are generally divided into three common types: day-shift, live-in, and childcare. The main duties include cooking, cleaning, laundry, and so on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was previously a live-in nanny. I worked for my last employer for five years, but I had to find a new job because the entire family moved abroad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Xiaomei paused here. After glancing at Su Chen’s calm expression, she bit her lip and said nervously, \"My previous salary was 10,000 a month, but the market rate for a live-in nanny is typically between 6,000 and 8,000.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm.\" Su Chen nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Tang Xiaomei’s heart leaped into her throat. She was already prepared to take a pay cut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’After all, it’s hard to find a job these days. Having a stable job would be good news for both me and my family.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, Su Chen looked at Tang Xiaomei. \"Aunt Tang, your salary will stay the same: 10,000 a month, with a year-end bonus.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Tang Xiaomei shot to her feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Mr. Su! Thank you, Mr. Su!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen waved his hand, signaling for her not to get so excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve been in this line of work for many years, so you should know what you should and shouldn’t do. I trust you’re a smart woman, Aunt Tang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Su Chen knew Tang Xiaomei was a smart person, some things still had to be said. He had to at least lay down the law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand, Mr. Su!\" Tang Xiaomei said with a solemn expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. Is everything in the kitchen cleaned up? It’s still early, so you can go home and get your things in order. Come back later to make dinner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Mr. Su.\" Tang Xiaomei gave a respectful bow and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Aunt Tang left, Su Chen eagerly summoned the System.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"System!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Host: Su Chen]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Beginner God of Wealth: 1,297,800\u002F1,000,000 (Upgradeable)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Wealth: 10,086 Yuan]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Warehouse: Empty]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Beginner God of Wealth: Earn one yuan per second]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Su Chen saw the word \"Upgradeable\" in the Beginner God of Wealth section, he rubbed his hands together nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"System, upgrade!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"DING~ Upgrade conditions met.
