Chapter 23 An unexpected encounter
Hearing the reasons from these two, Lee Yeong truly didn't know what to do, but their unique qualities made them very suitable for the job.
He turned to look at Cha Eun Sang beside him, and seeing that she wasn't overthinking things, he made his decision.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Lee Yeong, and this is Cha Eun Sang, my girlfriend, and my future wife."
"Your main job from now on will be to take good care of her, as well as the daily affairs of the household."
"I'll take you to your workplace first. You can think about it, and if you have any requests, you can tell me."
He led everyone back to the manor villa, and both the exterior environment and the interior decoration left them all dumbfounded.
This manor itself was one of the most top-tier villa constructions in the country. In the basement, the originally dark and eerie altar, though now useless after the evil spirit was eliminated, could still gather the energy of heaven and earth.
Therefore, the air in the manor was exceptionally fresh, and the flowers and trees all possessed a hint of spiritual essence.
"This will be your workplace from now on. Jennifer, as the housekeeper, everything in the manor will be under your charge."
"Ms. Jang has always been a housewife, so the daily meals for the household will be entrusted to you."
"Miss Choi and Kang Xialan will be responsible for cleaning, and you can arrange your free time as you wish."
"Of course, whether you live in the manor or go home is up to you. There are enough guest rooms in the house, so you can choose for yourselves."
"Does anyone have any other questions?"
After Lee Yeong finished explaining their jobs in one breath, everyone looked incredulous because the work was quite easy, completely unlike what they had imagined.
"Then, Mr. Li, is it usually just the two of you at home?"
Jennifer and Jang Do Jin thought Lee Yeong hired so many servants because he had a large family and needed their help to look after them, which was why he offered such high compensation.
"Oh, that's not it. Currently, only one person lives at home. In a couple of days, I will bring Eun Sang and Eun Sang's mother to live here. Strictly speaking, there will be three people."
As Lee Yeong's first half of the sentence came out, Jang Do Jin and the others secretly thought, 'As expected!' However, the second half of the sentence made them freeze again. Is there a difference between two people and three people?
"Any other questions?"
Of course, there were no problems. Although they weren't yet clear about Lee Yeong's character, for now, the impression he gave them was quite good. In terms of work and compensation alone, it probably wouldn't get any better than this.
"Okay, if there are no questions, I'll arrange everyone's work for tomorrow."
"Tomorrow is Christmas. I've invited a few friends over for dinner, so tomorrow you'll need to decorate the manor and prepare a lavish dinner to welcome them."
Jennifer truly lived up to her professional standard. As soon as Lee Yeong finished explaining what needed to be done, she immediately entered work mode. She took the bank card Lee Yeong had prepared and left to get the ingredients and decorations needed.
Kang Xialan, on the other hand, needed to go home to get her luggage. She didn't want to continue staying in the rented room and being treated as an ATM by her stepfather.
Jang Do Jin had her own family, and she wanted to tell her husband and children about finding a high-paying job.
Choi Micheala wanted to fulfill her dream of being an actress and stand on stage before her life ended, and also to leave more living expenses for her family.
After everyone gradually left, Cha Eun Sang finally couldn't hold it in anymore. If Jennifer and the others hadn't been present, she would have already rewarded Lee Yeong with a loving iron fist.
"When did I agree to move in with you? You're acting first and reporting later! I'm not ready yet..."
Cha Eun Sang's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, until her face turned completely red.
"Not ready? What's not ready? Are you talking about that, Eun Sang..."
"Which one? I don't know what you're talking about! You tell my mom about this yourself. But I have one thing I don't understand."
"Jennifer and Ms. Jang are indeed very suitable for managing the manor, but the other two young ladies don't seem to be. Did you fall for the beauty of those two young ladies, hmm?"
Cha Eun Sang quickly changed the subject, afraid that if she continued, Lee Yeong would see through her.
"Because both of them are not ordinary people. Let's find a time to talk to them after tomorrow. You'll understand why I kept them once you hear about it."
...
Jang Do Jin happily returned home, wanting to share the joy of finding a job with her husband and children, but Hong Daying was not home.
Over this period, she had become increasingly disappointed with Hong Daying. He drank, was irritable, and snored, completely devoid of the care and affection he had shown her when they were first together.
She had thought about it for a long time, and a few days ago, she even suggested divorce to Hong Daying. But in the end, recalling all the little moments they shared, she realized that it wasn't just her husband's fault that things had turned out this way.
The pressures of life and work were weighing on his shoulders, and she hadn't properly encouraged him.
She had originally planned to talk to her husband again properly after finding a job, but she hadn't found the opportunity.
"Mom, what kind of job did you find? Didn't you always want to be a host?"
When it came to the job, Jang Do Jin found it hard to speak, because her children were at an age where they cared about appearances. If she told them she was a servant, their classmates would surely mock them.
"Mom is a personal life assistant."
"Life assistant...!" Hong Shiya and Hong Shiyu exclaimed in unison, both greatly surprised.
"You two brats, they're about your age, don't overthink it."
"Then are you still going to divorce Dad?"
Jang Do Jin was silent for a moment. At this point, she also didn't know what to do. Ultimately, it was all due to the estrangement caused by life and children; she and her husband had both started to complain about each other, leading to the current outcome they faced.
"No matter whether Dad and I end up divorcing or not, remember that Dad and I will always love you in our hearts."
Although the siblings Hong Shiya and Hong Shiyu were both precocious, their personalities were very different.
The elder sister was outwardly rebellious but inwardly very gentle and considerate, only having a knot in her heart due to her father's various broken promises. The younger brother was shy and lacked self-confidence, often being bullied by school bullies.
In fact, after seeing Lee Yeong and Cha Eun Sang's loving relationship in front of them today, Jang Do Jin decided to give this marriage another chance, and also a chance for herself.
...
Christmas arrived as scheduled. The streets, shopping malls, and every household were filled with a festive atmosphere.
Jennifer and the others also came very early today to decorate the villa, hanging various colored light bulbs and bells on the Christmas tree, and arranging some gift boxes. Because the house was newly renovated, it didn't need special decoration, retaining the grandeur and exquisite design of a European manor.
"Today is Christmas, and it's everyone's first day living together here. I hope everyone can have fun after finishing their work."
