Chen Cheng pushed the last stack of counted banknotes to the center of the dining table. "It's 25,700 in total."

Meeting her gaze, he smiled faintly, "You didn't do anything wrong."

"It's just that your abilities can no longer keep up with my needs."

"You've seen it yourself; Infant will need a bilingual environment in the future."

"If you are satisfied with this compensation,"

"you can pack up and leave today." As he spoke, Chen Cheng raised his wrist to check his watch. "It's still early; you can still catch a flight or high-speed train to Beijing."

"If you're not satisfied, I'll have my lawyer come over to talk to you."

Auntie Yang looked around longingly. Such a beautiful house, such a high-end complex; she didn't want to leave.

She looked at Chen Cheng pitifully, "Sir, I can still cook."

Chen Cheng chuckled dismissively and tilted his chin, "Do you think those nannies don't know how to cook?"

"Or do you think I'm short a chef?"

"..." Auntie Yang was instantly speechless. Among those people, two of them even held second-level chef certifications.

Chen Cheng smiled faintly, "Auntie Yang, pack your things and go."

"Nannies and confinement nannies are still in high demand. Whether you stay in Shanghai or go back to Beijing, it won't be hard to find a new job."

Seeing that Chen Cheng's attitude was so firm, Auntie Yang stopped pretending to be aggrieved and glared at him.

"You rich people just love to bully us poor common folk."

Chen Cheng wore a smile on his face, showing no sign of anger.

If this tactic of shifting blame were used on He Minhong, she would definitely get anxious and start explaining with nonsense like 'I didn't, it wasn't me.'

But with Chen Cheng, he simply wouldn't care what you said.

He lowered his head, wrote a receipt, and pushed it to the center of the table.

"Take the money and leave; just sign the receipt and press your thumbprint on it."

"Then, you can pack up your personal belongings and leave."

Auntie Yang panted heavily; it was clear that Chen Cheng's sudden dismissal had made her quite angry.

This was one of the top residential complexes in Shanghai, if not the whole country.

I just bragged about it in the hometown group chat, and now that I've been fired, what will people think of me?

Chen Cheng glanced at his watch and urged Auntie Yang, "Auntie Yang, do you need two minutes to think about it?"

"If not, I'll call my lawyer to handle it."

"My time is very precious, and I don't want to waste it."

Auntie Yang felt 'humiliated' and stared at Chen Cheng with wide eyes.

"You!"

Chen Cheng tapped the table rhythmically, his expression unreadable.

Auntie Yang took a deep breath, signed the receipt angrily, and pressed her thumbprint on it.

After signing, Auntie Yang took the money, packed her things, and left.

Chen Cheng called the property management to deactivate her access card.

In the end, Lucy discussed it with Chen Cheng, and they settled on a young girl named Sun Wei and a middle-aged woman named Mi Hui.

Sun Wei might be called a young girl because she looked thin and small, but in reality, she was the same age as Chen Cheng.

She had studied early childhood education in vocational school and had been doing this for nearly ten years.

To earn more money, she even taught herself children's English.

Her spoken English was quite good, and she could communicate with Chen Cheng in English without any barriers.

Mi Hui used to be a white-collar worker in human resources.

She didn't survive the mid-life crisis and became unemployed.

After losing her job, she couldn't find another one.

With heavy family pressure, she heard that being a nanny paid well, so she took a training course and started doing this.

She had been doing it for six years now, and she could never go back to an office job.

As for their wages, the younger Sun Wei's was actually higher; with the confidentiality agreement, it was 27,000 per month.

Mi Hui would also take on some housekeeping duties, like cooking and cleaning, and with the confidentiality agreement, it was 22,000 per month.

Lucy took Mi Hui to clean up the room where Auntie Yang had stayed.

The young girl, Sun Wei, left and would come over to officially start work tomorrow.

Chen Cheng looked at the baby who had fallen asleep again.

A smile curled his lips, "Little Infant, I suppose I'm using you for practice."

"Ding-dong~"

"Ding-dong~"

Hearing the doorbell, Chen Cheng checked to make sure the Little Girl wouldn't roll off the sofa before going to open the door.

Seeing the person standing at the door, he couldn't help but chuckle with annoyance. He raised his hand to check his watch, "It's not even time to get off work yet, is it?"

Standing at the door was none other than Ye Zhenzhen, who was posing in a flashy way.

Ye Zhenzhen was wearing a white crew-neck T-shirt with her hair in a high ponytail.

With one hand, she leaned her head against the wall, her feet crossed with only one on the ground, leaning against the wall in an extremely sultry pose.

"Oh, don't worry about that."

She waved her hand, looked at Chen Cheng with a mischievous smirk, and reached out to hook Chen Cheng's chin, wearing the expression of a bully about to tease him.

"Little Orange, did you miss your big sister?"

Chen Cheng held back a laugh, "So-so~"

"You!"

Ye Zhenzhen was instantly puffed up with anger; she grabbed his collar, pulled him close, and planted a kiss on his lips.

They immediately started kissing intensely.

Their breathing quickened before they separated, and when they did, a string of saliva stretched between their lips.

Chen Cheng wore a wicked smile, "The nanny is in the room."

Ye Zhenzhen's eyes widened instantly; she leaned back tactically, her blushing face turning bright red.

Lowering her voice, she demanded, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Chen Cheng shrugged cheekily, "You didn't ask."

Seeing his cheeky, roguish look, Ye Zhenzhen twitched her lips and rolled her eyes at him.

She rolled her eyes, "Go tell Lucy you have something to take care of outside."

Chen Cheng's lips curled into a wicked smile, "Hungry?"

A flush of red immediately rushed to Ye Zhenzhen's face, and she haughtily kicked him, "Are you going or not?"

Chen Cheng nodded; how could he not go?

He was hungry too...

He turned and went inside to tell Lucy.

Returning to the door, Ye Zhenzhen grabbed him and led him up the stairs.

Standing upstairs, Chen Cheng looked at the house number 2301 and was stunned.

"Did you rent this?"

Ye Zhenzhen chuckled. While entering the code to open the door, she said, "That's thinking too small."

Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow, having guessed the gist of it.

"Lucy's sister is here, right? It wouldn't be very convenient for us to squeeze in with her."

"As it happens, I saw that no one was living upstairs, so I had the property management contact the landlord."

"We talked about the price, and I bought it."

After entering the house, Chen Cheng scooped her up and walked toward the bedroom.

The layout upstairs was the same as downstairs, so he didn't need an introduction to find the guest bedroom.

Why use the guest bedroom?

Because Ye, the bully, was very sensitive.

After she finished explaining, Chen Cheng chuckled dismissively, "As expected of a second-generation mine owner. A house worth tens of millions, and you bought it just like that."

Ye Zhenzhen smiled and shook her head faintly, "I had to sell two of the family's houses to buy this, okay?"

Chen Cheng chuckled; what was the point of talking about houses at a time like this?

However, Ye Zhenzhen was even more impatient than him; she had already undone his belt.
