Become a burden in a period novel

Chapter 525 Further Discussion on Nannies

The Canton Fair disrupted Qin Wangshu's plans, and she became busy again, returning home much later than usual.

Aunt Luo has been quite busy lately with matters at the branch factory, but she still returns home earlier than Qin Wangshu.

Besides returning late, she also spent much longer on the phone.

Aunt Luo had prepared dinner today, but when she came to call Qin Wangshu, she was still on the phone.

Seeing how busy she was, Aunt Luo began to consider Yang Mingye's earlier suggestion. She herself was very busy, and with Wang Shu so busy all day long, she probably didn't even have time to eat on time. It would be better to find someone to cook meals at home and deliver them to her, so that she could eat more nutritious food.

After Qin Wangshu hung up the phone, she saw Aunt Luo waiting behind her.

"Mother, why didn't you call me?"

"You're busy, right? Dinner's ready. Now that you've finished your call, come and eat," Aunt Luo said with a smile.

"Coming." Qin Wangshu put away her notebook and got up to wash her hands.

Why have you been so busy lately?

"The Canton Fair is about to start, and this time they sent me an invitation in advance. Naturally, I need to prepare more and see if I can get more orders." The country is short of foreign exchange, so it attaches great importance to companies that can earn foreign exchange.

"Oh, then you need to take care of yourself too. I've noticed you haven't had time to eat much lately."

"Things will get better after this busy period." Qin Wangshu wanted to enter the high-end market in Europe; luxury goods are very profitable.

An expensive luxury item doesn't actually cost much to produce; its high price comes from its brand.

Qin Wangshu's products have already gained some recognition in Europe. What she needs to do now is to build up the brand.

The idea is there; they're currently preparing a plan to package their product. The reason they're so busy is simply because communication technology isn't as advanced as it is now.

In future times, a video conference would suffice for seamless communication. Speaking of which, investing in the telecommunications industry seems like a good idea; I wonder if I can find a suitable factory during this trip to the south.

“I don’t have time to cook for you either, so why don’t we hire a housekeeper?” Aunt Luo suddenly brought up the matter.

"But Mother, we're not home during the day, so even if we have a nanny, it won't be of much use." Qin Wangshu hadn't expected her to think of this.

"Actually, I have other considerations. The security in the area hasn't been very good lately. A few days ago, someone in the next alley was robbed. We're not home during the day, so it would be safer to have someone stay here during the day."

Besides, you've been getting a lot of calls these past few days. Even when we weren't home, people were probably still calling. Having a nanny at home means you won't miss a single call.

Qin Wangshu hadn't expected Aunt Luo to think of these things. Judging from what she said, having a nanny seemed quite convenient.

"Mom, I think you're right. Let's look together and see if we can find a reliable one." A nanny's character is very important; finding a reliable nanny isn't easy.

Besides, although she has some secrets, she's not home much during the day and doesn't have much contact with the nanny, so she probably wouldn't notice.

"Okay, let's look for it together." Aunt Luo was also planning to ask if anyone she knew was interested in making this money.

"By the way, Mother, you said there was a burglary nearby?"

"That's right, just a few days ago, in the alley next to ours, I heard that a lot of things were missing from the house!" Aunt Luo is meticulous; she always locks the door before leaving.

Their family is usually quite low-key, and they don't have anything that would attract attention. They also deposit all their earnings into the bank, as Qin Wangshu would. Otherwise, since they're not home during the day, their money would be emptied out.

"Then I'll find someone to reinforce the door lock and get a dog to keep." There are only two women in their family, so it would be safer to keep a dog.

“Okay, but you’re busy. I’ll go to the factory tomorrow and ask around to see if anyone has a dog and bring one over.” Many people at Aunt Luo’s factory live nearby, so they should have dogs. It should be easy to find one.
