Chapter 870: Chapter 839: Assistant, New Job

Zhao Huanhuan came to pick up her son, and Huo Ruixiang said, "Mom, I’ll come home after school starts."

"But it’s still more than twenty days until school starts!" Zhao Huanhuan was taken aback, "Let’s go home and come back in a couple of days."

"No," Huo Ruixiang said, "I’ve already learned how to swim, and I want to practice for a few more days."

"Sister-in-law, it’s a bit hot, why don’t you come and swim too?" He Tiantian smiled, "There are new swimsuits in the changing room, all washed by me, ready to wear at any time."

"I can’t swim," Zhao Huanhuan said, "I’m a landlubber."

"Mom, it’s okay, I can swim, I can teach you," Huo Ruixiang said, "Mom, let’s go, it’s a perfect time for swimming. It’s so hot, you’ll fall in love with swimming."

Zhao Huanhuan had no choice but to follow.

By then, He Tiantian had already changed into her swimsuit and found one for Zhao Huanhuan, saying, "Sister-in-law, you change into this!"

Just as they were talking, Qi Xiaoyan came over with her child.

"Sister-in-law is here too!" Qi Xiaoyan said, "Now that I’m used to swimming, I feel uncomfortable if I don’t swim for a day."

Zhao Huanhuan received the swimsuit, and although it was a conservative style, she still felt a bit embarrassed.

"It’s fine, we are all women here, you don’t need to feel shy," He Tiantian said, "We’ll head out first, you change on your own."

The children were already swimming in the children’s pool.

Even without He Tiantian being around, none dared to venture into the big pool.

Previously, Niu Da sneaked in once and was severely beaten by Qi Xiaoyan, with the other kids watching, scaring them from daring to go to the big pool again.

After a while, Zhao Huanhuan finally changed, did some simple warm-up exercises, and went to the pool where the children were.

Zhao Huanhuan didn’t dare to go to the big pool.

He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan swam back and forth several times before they breathlessly climbed out and sat under an umbrella on a lounge chair.

"Ah, swimming feels so refreshing," Qi Xiaoyan said, "but it’s kind of tiring when it’s time to change the water and clean."

"I’m actually planning on hiring a couple of maids to do the housework," He Tiantian said. She needed to study, take care of her children, and manage the business, and she didn’t have much time to clean such a big house.

Cleaning once, she was so tired she could barely straighten her back.

"Yes, it really is necessary to have someone help around the house," Qi Xiaoyan said, "The only reason I don’t hire is that my in-laws are here and also our yard isn’t that big, they can manage it."

He Tiantian nodded, "Yeah, okay, I’ll go find someone, it’s really too tiring."

Zhao Huanhuan also came up, sitting on another lounge chair close by, eyeing the children.

"Are you thinking of hiring a maid?" Zhao Huanhuan asked, considering the large yard and big swimming pool, it indeed seemed too much for one person to handle.

"Yes, mostly for cleaning," He Tiantian smiled, "Sister-in-law, do you know anyone you could recommend?"

Zhao Huanhuan smiled and said, "Actually, there is one, a couple from our hospital, the Old Guo couple. They’re very diligent, just hospital orderlies, you know, often having to work overtime. But with their father in poor health, they can’t manage the hospital work anymore. If you’re hiring, you could have them come over."

"That would be great, I only need them to work during the day, I don’t need help at night," He Tiantian said, "Sister-in-law, whenever you’re free, you could have them come over. It’s just household chores, cleaning, tidying up the flower beds, and so on."

"Sure," Zhao Huanhuan was a bit embarrassed and asked quietly, "Wait, how much are you planning to pay per month?"

"How much do they pay per month at the hospital?" He Tiantian asked, as she was not familiar with the local rates.

Zhao Huanhuan thought for a moment and said, "For two people, it’s about two hundred yuan in salary."

"Oh, then I’ll give them three hundred yuan as salary, and if they do well during the season, there are bonuses and gifts," He Tiantian said. "Does that sound okay?"

"That’s fine; it’s actually better than the salary at our hospital," Zhao Huanhuan smiled. "Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo are very hardworking, not very talkative, but they work diligently."

"Good, if you praise them like this, they must be really impressive," He Tiantian said. "Three hundred yuan for two people here, including one meal at noon."

"Alright, I’ll talk to them when I go to work tomorrow," Zhao Huanhuan said. Over the years, Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo had helped Zhao Huanhuan several times, so she was also willing to help them in return.

After dinner, Zhao Huanhuan went back alone, without taking her son Huo Ruixiang with her.

When Huo Yingjie returned, He Tiantian mentioned her plan to hire two helpers.

"It’s about time; seeing you work so hard pains me," Huo Yingjie said. "We aren’t short of money now, hiring the right people will ease your load significantly."

"Yes, I won’t overdo it anymore; it’s too exhausting," He Tiantian sighed, realizing she needed to learn to employ others.

That statement was very true, any problem that can be solved with money isn’t a problem at all.

That weekend, on Saturday afternoon, Huo Yingjie took He Tiantian to visit her grandmother’s house, bringing many gifts.

On Sunday morning, they went to the Huo Family Old Mansion.

Finally, Huo Ruixiang came home.

Song Chunli hadn’t seen her grandson for a week and missed him dearly. She had thought about visiting several times but felt too embarrassed to go.

Although Huo Ruixiang was playful, he missed his family and, upon arriving home, he shared stories about his stay at his uncle’s with his grandparents and parents.

After the meal, Old Master Huo had the nanny bring down a kraft paper bag and said, "Tiantian, I heard that your job isn’t settled yet, so I asked a friend to help you find one, also as a teacher at a university."

"Ah?" He Tiantian was surprised, wasn’t it agreed that she would continue her studies?

Seeing He Tiantian’s astonishment, Old Master Huo smiled and said, "Surprised, eh?"

"Surprised, indeed," He Tiantian smiled and then took it, gently opening it to see which school she was assigned to teach at.

When she saw it was Huaxia Film Academy, Drama, Film and TV Literature, Chinese Teacher.

Hehe, that was indeed aligned with her expertise.

But that was at the Film Academy!

It seems like there are a lot of celebrities there!

Before, she knew about celebrities only through television, now she was going to teach these celebrities?

Err, this job was a bit sudden.

"What’s wrong, you don’t like it?" Old Master Huo, seeing He Tiantian’s expression, felt a bit uneasy and cautiously asked, hoping his kind intention didn’t turn into an ill-fated deed.

"I like it, I like it," He Tiantian nodded, agreeing reluctantly.

"Other schools currently aren’t short of Chinese teachers, and we wouldn’t do something as shameful as bullying others with our power," Old Master Huo said. "It’s a good university, and it just so happens they need a Chinese teacher; it matches your major, so I arranged it."

"Thank you, Grandpa, I really like it," He Tiantian nodded, accepting the offer in front of everyone.
