Bai Duanduan never thought that she would one day be able to rely on her C grade cooking skills that can kill people and successfully conquer Ji Linâs old lady. Although the process was a bit unexpected, at least the desired result was achieved.
After eating takeout and taking insulin and being forced to take a walk, Ms Meng Xinâs anger was half rested and she spent the afternoon in peace, only letting Bai Duanduan do some tidying up work and not thinking of ways to torment her again.
However, her direct employer didnât toss herself out but her son didnât let her off the hook yet. She had just returned to the door of her small flat after her work shift when her employerâs son arrived with a
blank expression on his face.
âGot a minute? Letâs have a chat about your work performance today.â
ââ¦â¦â I really owe it to you mother and son!
Forget it! Bai Duanduan thought, for the sake of money, letâs talk about it.
The two searched around downstairs and found that at this hour, several cafes were still crowded. In the end, they decided to go to that non mainstream neighborâs western restaurant again for the sake of quietness and it can also be considered as a neighborly way of looking after his business.
Fortunately, the owner of the non-mainstream shop seemed to be away today. Bai Duanduan was happy to have nothing to do, so she walked in and sat down with Ji Lin at the window seat.
âGo ahead, whatâs the conversation about?â Bai Duanduan almost had a premonition of what Ji Lin wanted to say after this, âDid your mother complain about me to death?â
âEn.â Ji Lin pursed his lips as he glanced at Bai Duanduan, âYou are by far the only person who received the most vicious complaints from her on her first day on the job.â
Okay, as expected.
âSaying you have a poor temper, slow hands and feet, not good at summarizing and organizing, not to the point of spotless cleaning, canât even cook, always talking back, not meek, quite wild, not dressed like a housekeeper, not in line with your identity positionâ¦â¦â
Bai Duanduan just sat there like that, listening to Ji Lin reading out Ms. Mengâs complaint for ten minutes from his phone, and surprisingly, he hadnât finished counting her incriminating evidence just yetâ¦â¦
âObviously unsaturated workload, not knowing how to please her employer, forcing her employer to exercise against her will regardless of her physical condition.â Ji Lin paused, âThere were a total of 34 complaints about the above content.â
So Ji Lin came out to talk to herself at that time, was he going to fire her? Or was he going to criticize herself so that she could correct herself?
Just as Bai Duanduan was waiting for Ji Lin to make a comment, what Ji Lin said was not at all what she had in mind.
He calmly said, âYouâve done a good job, youâve passed the probationary period and can continue to be on the job.â
?????
âAre you serious?â
Bai Duanduan felt that she was looking forward to it in vain. She was waiting for Ji Lin to fire herself with a wave of his hand and let her return home with a breach of contract â¦â¦
âEn.â
According to Ji Linâs experience, in the past, domestic helpers who did not receive complaints at the beginning could not stand Ms. Meng Xinâs temper tantrums and chose to leave their jobs within two days. So the more complaints he received initially, the longer these domestic helpers could generally last. This was the first time that Bai Duanduan has received as many complaints as a previous domestic helper did on her first day, and was expected to surpass the previous record of a domestic helper who lasted a maximum of 13 days.
Although it was inappropriate to say this, there was some truth in the saying that evil needs to be tempered by evil. Ji Lin had always known that his mother was not an easy target, so he was afraid that those who could keep her in check and hold her back could not be good either.
Thinking of this, Ji Lin glanced at Bai Duanduan in front of him.
Itâs a pity that she was still a little too young. If she had been a few more years old, maybe she would have been able to fight with his mother bravely. According to that dayâs fighting strength, he doesnât know if she can carry on for half a month â¦â¦
âSince youâre officially on duty now, there are a few more precautions I think you need to know.â
âEh?â
âMy mother is obsessed with playing mahjong and every week, on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, her mahjong hitchhiker would organize a game and she would never miss a game. But I hope you can stop her, because the mahjong halls she goes to have a very bad environment. There are smokers everywhere. It is best for diabetics to quit smoking and limit alcohol. Going to these places three days a week to smoke second-hand smoke for a whole day is very unhealthy, and she sits around all the time playing mahjong. She does not exercise at all. Once she is addicted to playing mahjong, she will completely forget about taking insulin also.â
Ji Lin pursed his lips, âTomorrow is Wednesday. Iâll give you 500 yuan as an extra bonus for each day if you can keep my mom from going to the mahjong hall.â
The power of money was infinite!
Bai Duanduan patted her chest, âDonât worry, Iâll definitely not let her go out!â
___________
It was a pity that Bai Duanduan said this too early, because as soon as she arrived at Ms. Meng Xinâs villa at eight oâclock the next day, she found that this old lady had disappeared. She didnât even have a chance to prevent her from going out, and the other party had already run away first.
âI donât know what kind of spirit it is to be able to get up before eight oâclock and go play mahjong â¦â¦â
Bai Duanduan searched in vain and could only dial Ji Linâs number, âJi Lin, your mother has disappeared.â
Ji Lin on the other end of the phone was not any bit surprised, and gave her a series of addresses, âGo and look for her in these three places. She must be in one of these mahjong parlors. If you donât bring her home, you wonât get your bonus today.â
How could that be?
Bai Duanduan followed the address almost all the way to find her, and it was also her luck that she found Ms Meng Xin, who was killing it with style at the mahjong table, in the first mahjong parlour.
âAuntie Meng, Ji Lin asked me to take you home.â
Ms. Meng Xin was having a good time, so she didnât care about Bai Duanduan. She had just won two games, and with a spring in her step, she took out a hundred yuan, âAll right, take the tip, buy some cold drinks and donât bother me. My luck is just right at the moment.â
Only a hundred yuan and you want to buy me off? Huh,do you think Iâm that kind of person? Your son gave me five hundred yuan!
Bai Duanduan sneered and didnât leave, continuing to stand behind and looking at Meng Xin.
After waiting for two more games, one of Meng Xinâs mahjong partners at this mahjong table probably had something to do. She made a phone call and left, ignoring the retention of Meng Xin and her other partner.
All of a sudden at that time, there was a shortage of one player out of four. Meng Xin, who obviously hadnât had enough of mahjong, immediately took out her phone and was ready to call her friends to continue the game.
âAuntie Meng, donât call for someone, why donât I accompany you for two games?â
Meng Xin put down her phone, âYou know how to play mahjong?â
âIâm not too good at it.â Bai Duanduan smiled haughtily, âYouâve given me a hundred yuan tip, can I not play two games with you?â
Meng Xin rolled her eyes, âThatâs fine, you donât have anything to do since Iâm not home anyway, so why donât you just play with me all day?â She said, and looked at the other two sisters at the table with dignity, âLet me introduce you, this is the housekeeper my son found for me, the nanny, you know! She follows me wherever I go and now she will play mahjong with me!â
Ms Meng Xin was obviously a bit vain. She bragged while also pretending to care, âItâs just that she may not play mahjong very well, so a few of us have to show mercy!â
After she finished, she looked at Bai Duanduan again and said with a calculating look, âHowever, mahjong is actually considered to be a competitive game, isnât it? In this competition, there are losses and wins, and it takes a little bet to make it more exciting, okay? In addition to mahjong, we play with everyoneâs heartbeat also.â
âMahjong is fine as entertainment, but gambling is illegal ah, Auntie Meng.â
âWhere are you thinking of, Xiao Bai? Why would I bet money? Weâll just bet on something else, like if whoever wins the next game of mahjong gets to make demands on the loser, just a little entertainment, donât worry.â
Donât worry, huh. Bai Duanduan thought to herself, your gaze on my bracelet is almost burning through my skin. Who doesnât know that you have a little bit of Sima Zhaoâs heart 1 âEveryone knows Sima Zhaoâs heartâ is a Chinese idiom, which means oneâs ambition is very obvious and well known. , but youâre still hoping that youâll win and get your hands on my bracelet?
âOkay.â
However, Bai Duanduan did not hesitate to agree. Itâs not that she didnât notice Meng Xin and her two older sisters at the mahjong table making eyes at each other and ready to feed each otherâs cards to squeeze their own hints, but there were some things â¦â¦
The fact was that there were some things that canât be said about strength as it speaks for itself.
Bai Duanduanâs mother was obsessed with playing mahjong. It can be said that Bai Duanduan has grown up around the mahjong table since she was a child. She was exposed to playing cards at the age of four. By the age of fifteen, she had already played and won every one all over her community. As she grew older, Bai Duanduanâs mahjong skills also grew, and most importantly, her luck with this mahjong was really good, like it was almost going against the heavens. She stopped playing all these years, mainly because â
How lonely it was to be invincible.
