On the way home holding Zhong You, Zhong Ruanxing happened to run into the nanny Liu Cai that Zhong Ruanxing's mother had hired, in the elevator.0

"Oh Ms. Zhong, what a coincidence! Good morning YouYou!" Liu Cai greeted them with the groceries in her hands.0

Previously, the Zhong family had two nannies, one specialized in cooking and the other took care of the elderly and children. They had worked for the Zhongs for two to three years and were very experienced. But coincidentally, both nannies resigned for personal reasons this year after the New Year. So she had to find new help.0

Liu Cai was recommended by the previous nanny. Zhong Ruanxing's mother had originally planned to hire two again, but Liu Cai patted her chest and swore she could handle the work of two people alone. She was young and energetic, and very efficient during the trial period, seeming very reliable. Zhong Ruanxing's mother couldn't find a second suitable person for the moment, so she agreed and offered Liu Cai triple the highest market rate salary.0

Song JinXing glanced at the shrewdly smiling Liu Cai, then at the time shown on the elevator screen, and said lightly, "It's 9:30 now. If I remember correctly, your work hours start at 8 in the morning."0

Liu Cai's expression froze. She didn't expect the usually easy-going Ms. Zhong to suddenly call her out. She stammered, "My son left something important for a meeting at home this morning. I had to rush back to deliver it to him."0

Song JinXing looked at her: "Half an hour is enough for many things to happen. If something happened to my mother and sister because you were absent without leave, could you take responsibility?"0

Although it was still that beautiful face, it looked so intimidating when not smiling. Her cold eyes seemed to nail Liu Cai in place. Liu Cai's forehead beaded with sweat as she stuttered, "I'm sorry Ms. Zhong, I won't be late again."0

Song JinXing gave an "mm" and walked out holding Zhong You, who was still licking his ice cream, as the elevator door opened. Liu Cai secretly wiped the sweat off her brow behind them.0

Other than dealing with Zhong You's occasional tantrums, there wasn't much else for Song JinXing to do. But it was different for Zhong Ruanxing.0

As soon as she arrived at the company in the morning, she didn't even have time to drink a sip of hot water before entering the conference room. At exactly 8 o'clock, the spacious conference room was filled with people, men and women, young and old. Zhong Ruanxing used up all her brain cells just matching faces to names, not hearing a word of the meeting content.0

After the meeting finished, she didn't even have time to admire the general manager's office before people started coming in one after another to report work. The documents needing her signature kept piling higher and higher. Zhong Ruanxing was worried the voice recorder that had been on the whole time would run out of storage.0

Finally, lunch break arrived.0

Zhong Ruanxing sprawled limply in the office chair.0

So being a general manager was this tiring? But she didn't do anything at all!0

While collapsed there, the pretty secretary Tong Ling brought in a cup of coffee. "Boss Song, President Chen from ShenFeng wants to invite you to dinner tonight. He said there are new developments in their AI research and wants to discuss it with you."0

Zhong Ruanxing took a sip of the coffee and nearly got sent away by the bitter hot Americano that made her doubt life. She forced it down with a stiff face and said, "Reply to him in ten minutes."0

Tong Ling acknowledged and left. Zhong Ruanxing took a photo of the documents on her desk and sent it to Song JinXing:0
