Hu Qiang's Decision

Chapter 56 Your own home, still so uncertain?
Just when Hu Qiang and Su Damiao left the cafe and stood together at the door of the cafe waiting for an online car-hailing service, a familiar voice suddenly appeared beside them.

"Manager Hu?"

Hu Qiang was taken aback for a moment, then turned around to see who it was if it wasn't Sha Lele.

"Xiao Sha?" Hu Qiang said, "Why are you here? What time is it and you haven't come home yet?"

Sha Lele chuckled: "That's Manager Hu. When I got off work, I saw that you were still having a meeting with the leader in the office. I didn't know how long you would work overtime, so I came out to have a meal first.

Now that I've finished my meal, I'm planning to go back and work overtime with you. "

"Why do you go back to work overtime?" Hu Qiang shook his head and muttered softly, "I've never seen you so stupid."

"Manager Hu, what are you talking about?" Sha Lele asked.

Hu Qiang frowned quickly and said: "I mean... I didn't mean you, Xiaosha, you are an intern, since you are off work, you should go back and have a good rest, don't make trouble for yourself, understand?"

Sha Lele blinked, then nodded solemnly: "I...understand! Understood! Fully understand!"

"It's good to understand." Hu Qiang nodded.

Sha Lele said again: "Then Manager Hu, do you think there is any problem with the meeting minutes I made this morning?

It doesn't matter, if you think there is a problem, you can tell me at any time, and I will change it immediately! "

"No problem, very good." Hu Qiang said, "I have never seen an intern as capable as you."

"That's right." Sha Lele chuckled, "Thank you, Manager Hu, for your compliment."

"Okay." Hu Qiang smiled, "Go back quickly, do what you should do, an intern should look like an intern."

"Yes, thank you, Manager Hu." Sha Lele smiled and bowed to Hu Qiang, "I know what to do."

Immediately afterwards, Sha Lele looked at Su Damiao who was standing next to Hu Qiang and smiled without saying a word, and suddenly smiled:
"Mrs. Hu, you are so beautiful and have a real temperament! I... I'm sorry, I, I won't disturb the world of the two of you, goodbye! Hehehe!"

After speaking, Shalele turned around and ran away.

"Hey!" Hu Qiang said quickly, "What are you talking about? Stop, come back! Come back quickly!"

It's a pity that Sha Lele ran away early and didn't hear Hu Qiang's cry at all.

After Sha Lele completely disappeared around the corner, Hu Qiang frowned and said, "Damn, was this girl a sprint champion before? She ran so fast?"

After saying this, Hu Qiang said to Su Damiao in embarrassment:

"I'm sorry, that's one of my subordinates. The intern who just arrived doesn't understand anything. I called the wrong person. Please take care of me. I'll explain it to her later."

"It's okay." Su Damiao smiled slightly, "However, I can tell from the attitude of that girl towards you that you are a very popular boss and everyone likes you very much."

"Support? Like?" Hearing this, for some reason, Hu Qiang suddenly thought of Ouyang Murphy.

Thinking of Ouyang Murphy's tilted head and smirk, he couldn't help but feel a chill.

"This is all forced." Hu Qiang expressed his feelings.

"Oh?" Su Damiao asked curiously, "Forced, what do you mean?"

Hu Qiang shook his head: "It's hard to explain in one word, so it's okay not to say it."

Seeing that Hu Qiang didn't want to say more, Su Damiao stopped asking.

After a while, the online car-hailing car arrived.

Hu Qiang got into the co-pilot and let Su Damiao sit in the back.

Then, Hu Qiang said an address, and the driver started the vehicle.

Along the way, Hu Qiang didn't take the initiative to speak, Su Damiao didn't speak, and the driver seemed to be a bore.

Therefore, after more than an hour's drive, the three of them stayed in the car without saying a few words.

After the two got out of the car and the online car-hailing service left, Su Damiao couldn't help but said, "This place is a bit far away."

Hu Qiang smiled: "No way, the houses here are cheap.

When buying a house here in Shanghai, I want to be cheap, but also want to have a big place and a good environment, so I can only go to a slightly remote place. "

"That's right." Su Damiao nodded.

"Come with me." Hu Qiang said, "The neighborhood in front is there, and we will be there soon."

In the process of walking home, Hu Qiang couldn't help feeling a little nervous because he was going to see his mother and child soon.

It was also because of the tension in his heart, in order to relieve the tension, Hu Qiang finally started to chat with Su Damiao on his own initiative:
"By the way, Ms. Su, according to your experience, including your salary and all kinds of messy expenses, how much should I pay you every month, so I can feel at ease?
I mean, how much money do I have to spend a month so that my mother and children can live comfortably? "

Su Damiao thought for a while and said: "I haven't seen your family yet, so I don't know the specific situation of your family, so it's hard to say.

However, according to my experience, if your family members are not seriously ill or have huge medical expenses, but only ordinary daily expenses, and the living expenses of three people for a month, you only need to spend about [-] yuan for living expenses, which is more than enough.

Of course, this is based on the standards of ordinary people. If it is based on the standards of wealthy families, then the living expenses are not necessarily the same. "

"Why not sure?" Hu Qiang asked.

Su Damiao nodded: "It's hard to say, after all, the daily expenses are basically food and clothing. If these expenses are low, it's easy to calculate, but if they are high, they are nothing.

Let’s talk about diet. If you use common ingredients for three meals a day, even if you follow a nutritious recipe, even if it is more expensive than ordinary people, it will not cost you much.

But if you are looking for high-end ingredients for high-end recipes, such as tuna, king crab, or abalone wing belly, etc., then the cost is insignificant, and it may cost thousands of dollars to cook a meal.

Coupled with the cost of shopping with the elderly and children, as well as the expenses of traveling and relaxing, the cost is even more difficult to say.

Generally speaking, there are low and high daily consumption standards, mainly depending on how much you pay for living expenses.

The higher the cost of living, the higher the standard.

The less the cost of living, the lower the standard.

But no matter how much the living expenses are, I will do my best to satisfy everyone.

Also, you don't have to worry about me embezzling some living expenses.

In fact, ordinary domestic workers would not do such a scandalous thing as embezzlement of living expenses.

Maybe some poor, cheap nannies will do this.

But a nanny at my level would never do it. It is not necessary at all, because it would be a sign of me.

I have been a nanny for more than ten years, and I have served many customers. This aspect is well-known. If you don't believe me, you can inquire about it.

I will keep accounts for all household expenses, including grocery shopping, household supplies, travel expenses, etc., and you can check the accounts at any time.

Since I have received your high salary, I must be worthy of the money, have a conscience, and work ethics. "

Hu Qiang smiled: "No, I don't have the idea of ​​questioning your professional ethics, I just, um..."

After thinking about it, Hu Qiang said: "Well, I'm actually not very well off now, so I'll give you 1 yuan as living expenses first, and you live according to this standard. You don't ask for anything else. You must take care of my mother and children. All right, okay?"

"Of course there is no problem." Su Damiao nodded with a smile, "The living expenses of 1 yuan are already very high for an ordinary family of three, but..."

"But what?" Hu Qiang asked.

Su Damiao pondered for a while, and then said: "I don't doubt you, but you give such a high living cost, plus my salary, even if you are a department manager... this will be very hard, right?"

Hu Qiang smiled slightly, thinking that this is nothing, sir, I am not short of money now, and my monthly income is at least 20 W, but in reality it will only be more.

But thinking of his current personality, he sighed cautiously:

"Whether it's hard or not is my problem, and you don't need to worry about it."

"Of course, I also understand what you mean. I'm worried that if I swell my face to make myself fat, I won't be able to pay for it. Is it not enough for your salary?"

"No!" Su Damiao quickly shook her head, "I didn't mean that, I really didn't! Mr. Hu, you misunderstood, I..."

"Okay!" Hu Qiang waved his hand.

"No matter what it means, you only need to take care of my mother and children, and nothing else.

For the money that should be given, I will not miss you a single cent.

I won't do things like hitting a swollen face to pretend to be fat.

Since I dare to choose you, I must have this strength, so you don't have to worry about it! "

Su Damiao nodded: "Yes, I understand."

"Also." Hu Qiang said again, "When I meet someone later, suppose my mother and my child ask you how much I paid for it. I hope you can say less, just say [-] a month.

There is also the money for daily expenses. My mother doesn’t ask. If she asks, you can say that it does not exceed [-], is that okay? "

Su Damiao smiled and nodded: "Of course. But in this case, I have to make two ledgers, a fake ledger that can be shown to your mother, and a real ledger that is only shown to you, right?"

"Smart!" Hu Qiang nodded, "That's it! It really is an elite nanny, and it's obvious."

Speaking of this, Hu Qiang, who had already walked in front of a residential building, stood still.

Looking up at the somewhat old brick-concrete building, Hu Qiang sighed, "It should be here, here...is my home!"

"Should?" Su Damiao looked at Hu Qiang strangely, "Is your own home still so uncertain?"

Hu Qiang was taken aback, and quickly explained with a smile: "No, that's right, it's just that I haven't been back for a long time, and I was a little emotional for a while. How should I say it, it's more timid than being close to the hometown, can you understand?"

"Understood." Su Damiao asked, "It seems that Mr. Hu, you don't come here often?"

"En." Hu Qiang nodded.

"I told you before that I rented an apartment near the company, and I usually live in an apartment.

As for this place, I bought the house. I...my mother and children live here.

When I first bought here, except that the price of houses here was slightly cheaper, I could afford it at that time.

The main reason is that the educational resources here are good, and there are several good schools in the surrounding area, which is convenient for children to go to school.

But it's too far away from where I work, it takes more than an hour's drive, and it's too inconvenient to go back and forth.

For this reason, I later rented an apartment near the company to make it easier to commute to and from get off work.

I usually live in an apartment, and theoretically I can come back on weekends, but in reality, I used to work overtime in the company, so it would be nice to come back once or twice a month.

So, he, no, I, I am actually an incompetent father and an incompetent son. "

"I see." Su Damiao nodded, "What about your wife? Does your wife live in the apartment with you? Doesn't she come here often?"

Hu Qiang said: "My wife...has left me for a long time."

"I'm sorry." Su Damiao said, "Although it's presumptuous, I still want to find out in advance whether your wife has passed away, or you two are divorced? Finding out these is also to avoid misunderstanding."

Hu Qiang frowned and said: "My wife has been away from home for four years and has never heard from her. I... Forget it, you don't have to worry about it.

You just need to know that you will live here in the future, and you only need to take care of an old lady and a little girl, and there will be no misunderstanding. "

"Yes, I understand." Su Damiao agreed softly.

Hu Qiang smiled sarcasticly: "Go, go up and have a look, look at the place where you will work in the future, I hope you will like this place. Don't think it's a bit out of the way, but the environment is still very good."

"Okay." Su Damiao nodded with a smile, "Then let's go together, Mr. Hu."

　Thanks to "book friend 20210301106552860516" for the reward yesterday.
