TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS

Chapter 317 - Fatigue Rejects a Million Yuan

Shao Qihai listened with a wooden face and finally found out how a million yuan could happen.

It turned out that Xiao Wu asked out of curiosity after hearing Old Master Ji's words, but Old Master Ji took it seriously.

Previously, Shao Qihai had been convinced that Old Master Ji and Ji Buwang would not seize Xiao Wu. Now, he realizes that what's scarier than abducting people in person is stealing their hearts.

He had a very gentle heart, so when he was treated like this, Xiao Wu could not help feeling warm.

Moreover, this money was given to Mu Jingzhe. Even if it was given to him through Xiao Wu, it was like giving him a very expensive engagement gift earlier!

Mu Jingzhe put in a lot of effort and finally settled the one million yuan problem. He was so tired at this end that he was sweating and he felt even more tired than when he was dealing with Shao Qiyun.

Mu Jingzhe had not expected to experience exhaustion from refusing a million yuan someday. In short, it's ridiculous!

Xiao Wu felt the same way. He did not feel tired or afraid when facing Shao Qiyun, but he was a little afraid of Old Master Ji.

In the past, Xiao Wu's grandmother, Zhao Lan, had treated him badly. He felt it was scary. Now, he had a crazy great-grandfather who treated him very well. That's scary too.

Good things are either very bad or very good. Both scenarios are scary.

After sending Old Master Ji and Ji Buwang away, Xiao Wu told Mu Jingzhe with lingering fear, "Mom, I think I don't dare to talk casually anymore." He wouldn't do it, just in case Old Master Ji went crazy again.

“Grandma is still the best.” Grandma was kind to them, but not to the point of exaggeration. He made people feel that this was true.

“I miss Grandma.” Xiao Wu stroked his chin. "I also miss Third Brother."

Mu Jingzhe did not know whether he should laugh or cry. Old Master Ji's love was indeed too fierce and overwhelming. It was as if he hated that he could not make up for everything he had missed in the past few years. It's a little scary, but it's better than meeting other bad guys.

After Shao Qiyun left this time, it was unknown whether she had actually given up or whether she was so traumatized that she had yet to resolve her regrets. He did not appear again for two days.

Mu Jingzhe heaved a sigh of relief, but he did not dare to be too relaxed. He was still keeping Xiao Wu by his side.

After the incident with Shao Qiyun, her work was delayed. Unfortunately, everyone liked her formal attire after wearing it before, and she had developed a bit of a reputation in the business. Many people want to order a special formal dress from her.

Best Actor Shen Han, whom Mu Jingzhe had previously feared, realized that there seemed to be a misunderstanding. After realizing that Mu Jingzhe had no intention of seducing her or anything, she ended up no longer being vigilant.

After seeing Bai Bai in that formal attire, he also wanted to order it from Mu Jingzhe. Mu Jingzhe naturally did not refuse.

However, more business meant Mu Jingzhe became a little busy.

Xiao Wu and Shao Xi were there. Although Shao Qihai had not left yet, he still had to film with Little Bei, so he did not have enough time.

The issue of hiring assistants was included in the agenda. With the assistant, there would be an additional layer of security in the house, which could prevent Shao Qiyun from suddenly going crazy again.

Mu Jingzhe told people that he wanted to hire an assistant, informing his neighbors as well as the production team. Quite a number of people came, but none were suitable.

Hence, Mu Jingzhe wrote the hiring notice and pasted it outside, listing the terms in detail.

Then, several applicants came one after another. However, Mu Jingzhe felt that the candidates were lacking in one way or another. Then, there was even one person who did not meet the listed criteria at all: Sister Wei. However, since he had already appeared, Mu Jingzhe chatted with him. In the end, he had completely fulfilled Mu Jingzhe's requirements.

According to Sister Wei, her family used to embroider as well. His parents had even helped others make cheongsam[1] before, but the business was later abandoned.

Sister Wei had only come in hopes of fighting for her last chance. However, he did not dare to hold on to too much hope. After all, he was much older than the age requirements listed. He did not expect Mu Jingzhe to actually agree.

There was no reason for Mu Jingzhe to disagree. Such experienced and qualified workers are actually very rare. Previously, he had wanted a younger assistant because he thought it would be easier to teach someone who was young. However, he would not let such a qualified worker get away with it.

Since they were both women, Mu Jingzhe knew that Sister Wei was not in a good state. He must have hit a wall while looking for a job earlier. It is harder to find a job at this age than at a young age. Mu Jingzhe naturally chose a win-win solution.

"When can you start?"

"Did you really hire me?" Although Sister Wei felt that Mu Jingzhe seemed quite satisfied with her, she did not expect that she would actually hire him. He looked at her feet and could not help but caress her face. "I'm very…"

Sister Wei's legs were somewhat lame, and were clearly visible as she walked. There was also a scar on the corner of his eye that did not look good. This was also one of the reasons he kept getting rejected while looking for a job.

Previously, he had been rejected at all times. Now that he was suddenly hired, he could not believe it.

“This does not affect your work. You don't have to work on stage. So, of course it's true. When can you start working?”

"today. I can start immediately,” Sister Wei agrees excitedly.

Sister Wei is a fast learner and an intelligent person. He had been of great help to Mu Jingzhe on the first day.

When Sister Wei said that she had no place to stay, Mu Jingzhe decided to give her food and accommodation. She could only give him accommodation in the studio for now, so Mu Jingzhe felt regret. However, Sister Wei said that it was quite good.

He might have suffered a lot and he refused to mention his family, so Mu Jingzhe did not ask anything else.

Now that the accommodation has been completed, it is even easier to handle the food. Sister Wei had excellent culinary skills, which surprised Mu Jingzhe. Even Little Bei and the others loved his cooking.

Sister Wei applied for an assistant position, but as food and accommodation were provided, she also cooked. Mu Jingzhe understood the situation and gave him an extra allowance because he helped cook.

Sister Wei kept saying that it was unnecessary, but Mu Jingzhe did not take advantage of it.

Then, Sister Wei did not refuse, as she wanted to do more work. He even tried to rush to wash the dishes, but Shao Xi refused.

“We can wash dishes. This is also what happened in the past.”

“Saudari Wei, don't worry about that. Cook it. For me it's like that too. The most important thing is that you do your job well.”

Mu Jingzhe and Sister Wei would cook depending on who had the time. The kids really like it.

However, even though Sister Wei was close to Mu Jingzhe, she kept her distance from the children and did not talk much with Shao Xi and Little Bei. Mu Jingzhe knew that not everyone liked children, so he did not think too much about it. He only asked Sister Wei to help keep an eye on Xiao Wu and the others.

Xiao Wu knew that Mu Jingzhe was afraid that he would be taken away by Shao Qiyun. Recalling his plans to study boxing beforehand, he asked Shao Qihai to teach him. Shao Xi and Little Bei were also clamoring to learn.

No matter what, it was indeed better to know some martial arts to protect yourself.

When Shao Qihai was free, he would teach them. When Ji Buwang sees this, he also joins Shao Qihai, who knows how to practice military boxing, and Ji Buwang says that he also knows how to do it. Therefore, this fiery teaching activity began.

Mm, compared to the way Mu Jingzhe taught them to hit in a sore spot or even aim at a certain point, this was even better.
