Chapter 113 Smart Ruobing
At this time.
Zhang Yunzhong asked Li Ruobing in disbelief:
"Ruobing, you're kidding me. This...this place is so big, with an orchard, a vegetable garden, a large swimming pool, and a fish pond. And that big villa is really luxurious. This place is obviously where the rich and powerful live. It's lucky for ordinary people like us to be able to visit. Don't joke with me like that."
Lan Sumei followed suit and said:
"Yeah, Ruobing, you're exaggerating. Your uncle and I... even if we work hard for ten lifetimes, we can't possibly live in this place. It's not something an ordinary person can do."
Li Ruobing blinked her bright eyes and said with a smile:
"Oh, uncle and aunt, I didn't expect you to see through me so quickly. I really can't hide anything from you..."
"I was just trying to make you laugh, but you saw through it right away. This villa is really expensive. We can't afford it even if we want to buy it. We'll never be able to afford it in this lifetime. But, I've found a job for you two. From now on, you'll work in this villa, eat and live here, and get paid monthly. So, even though you can't afford a villa, this is where you'll live from now on."
Zhang Yunzhong was completely confused and looked at Li Ruobing curiously and said:
"Ruobing, what's going on here? You found a job for us two, to work in this villa? We have no experience, what kind of work can we do here?"
Li Ruobing immediately said:
"There's a lot of work for you to do... First, you two will be responsible for looking after this villa and keeping it clean and tidy at all times. You don't have to scrub it from top to bottom every day; that's too tiring and unnecessary. Just clean it once a month or every two months will be enough."
"The main daily responsibilities are watering the flowers, growing vegetables, raising birds, and feeding the fish. That's all. Of course, if you two are interested in swimming, you can also go for a swim in the pool. In short, you just need to take good care of this villa."
"The owner of the villa went abroad to study, and the whole family moved there. Now the villa is idle, and they are worried that the house will be deserted and overgrown with weeds."
"When they come back, they won't be able to live there anymore. So, they offered a monthly salary of 2 yuan to hire a reliable couple to help them manage and operate the villa."
"Don't underestimate this job, it's very tiring, especially watering the flowers and growing the vegetables... These are not things that ordinary people can do. Raising birds and feeding fish are also very difficult."
Zhang Yunzhong couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard what Li Ruobing said seriously.
Lan Sumei couldn't help laughing.
"Ruobing, is this really possible? What on earth are these rich people thinking? They spend money to buy such a huge villa, but they are worried that it won't be popular, so they even hire people to take care of it..."
"Isn't this just paying someone to live in your house? How can such a thing even exist? If you want to attract people to your villa, wouldn't it be better to just rent it out and earn some money?"
Zhang Yunzhong also nodded repeatedly and said:
"Yes, yes, Ruobing. It seems more reasonable to rent it out. Why would this family spend money to hire someone to look after it? It really puzzles me."
At this time.
Zhang Yuan secretly gave Li Ruobing a thumbs-up, then walked up to his parents and said:
"Mom and Dad, you definitely don't understand how rich people think. If such a nice villa is rented out, the tenant won't treat it like their own home."
"If you want your tenants to water your flowers and vegetables, raise birds and feed your fish, that's too difficult. You can't control how the flowers are trimmed or how you destroy the vegetable garden."
"If a perfectly healthy fruit tree gets pruned beyond recognition, wouldn't that ruin it? And what about the vegetable patch...if you overuse fertilizer, all that hard-earned land will be ruined. And what about the birds and fish? Rich people paid a fortune for them. If you rent them out and every now and then, all the birds and fish die, wouldn't that be a huge loss?"
"Besides, the tenants won't help you take care of the house... If you think about it this way, they are quite wise because they are rich."
"It's different when you hire someone to take care of your house. You can check anytime, anywhere to see how your house is cleaned and whether the flowers and plants are trimmed to your liking. You can ask them anytime, anywhere. And after all, they're paying you. How can you take money and not do a good job for them?"
After listening to this, Zhang Yunzhong and Lan Sumei felt that this was indeed the case.
then.
Zhang Yunzhong said with great interest:
"A 2 yuan salary is really a lot, and being able to work here every day is something that countless people would be eager to do. By the way, Ruobing, where did you find such a good job for us?"
Li Ruobing immediately said:
"It's a coincidence. Our boss mentioned this in a meeting this morning and asked if anyone has reliable relatives, especially couples around 50 years old..."
"I think you two are the most reliable, uncle and aunt. Besides, uncle works so hard on the construction site, and you sometimes have to go with him to work there, and sometimes you have to set up a stall to sell things, exposed to the wind and rain. If you two find a stable job, I think Brother Yuan will be more relieved and can devote himself to the medical profession more wholeheartedly and achieve better results."
"So, after the meeting, I went to see my boss. He said I was a reliable person, always down-to-earth, hardworking, and serious about my work. He also believed that my parents-in-law were also reliable. So he decided to give you a chance and let you try working here for a week. If after this week's work, you can take good care of the villa and everything is fine, then you can be hired directly."
"If the work isn't good and they're not satisfied, they'll have to open up online, so... I've snagged an opportunity. The owner of this villa is a relative of my boss's, even richer than he is. In short, incredibly wealthy... I don't know him very well, but as long as we take care of the villa, we can happily water the flowers, grow vegetables, raise birds, and feed the fish every day... that'll be all!"
After listening to this, Zhang Yunzhong and Lan Sumei instantly understood everything.
The two said happily:
"Ruobing, this is such a surprise. Okay, let's give it a try. If it works, this is a great job. And I'm not bragging, but I love watering flowers and growing vegetables. My biggest dream was to have my own piece of land, my own house, where I could grow flowers and vegetables, raise birds, and feed fish. I can learn how to do this, so it shouldn't be a problem. These are all things I'm good at."
Seeing Zhang Yunzhong so happy, Lan Sumei immediately smiled and said:
"Ruobing, don't worry. Your uncle and I will take good care of this place. My job is to take care of the villa anyway, so I'll just clean it up from top to bottom when I have time."
"By the way, why does the owner of this villa require...watering the flowers, growing vegetables, raising birds, and feeding the fish? Even though the flowers and plants are so beautifully trimmed, they can't see them. On the other hand, your uncle and I can see them every day. And the vegetables we grow, they're all gone abroad, so we can't eat them. What if we plant too many vegetables? Who will we give them to?"
"Also, raising birds is your uncle's hobby, isn't it? This is actually a good deal for him... As for feeding the fish, if the fish in the pond are fattened up, this family won't be able to eat them..."
