"Will we be responsible for all of this?" Li Xiaolu asked meekly.
"Are there any problems?"
"The two of us probably won't be able to handle it."
"There will be a gap of two to three months between them, so they won't be giving birth at the same time.
Also, I plan to find more people from your center to help."
"Where will we live?" Gao Yuan asked.
"Aren't your homes in this city?"
"No. We usually rent apartments.
"That's easy then. From now on, you will live in the west.
That courtyard is exactly the same as this one.
With more rooms, it will be more convenient to take care of these people."
"Thank you, Mr. Guo."
"You'll cook for yourselves. There's a kitchen and dining room downstairs.
I'll have the chefs from Junyue prepare an extra portion of ingredients.
Any other questions?"
"Can I recommend a few people to you?" Li Xiaolu asked.
"Of course. As long as they are good people with good skills, are willing to work hard, and are observant, we will accept as many as you recommend.
For now, you will be responsible for their food, accommodation, transportation, and post-natal recovery.
I plan to assign the recommended people to the postpartum care center."
"Will they have the same treatment as us?"
"Of course, it's ten thousand a month. You can enjoy two profit distributions at mid-year and year-end."
"That's great. I'll call them later."
"Say what you should say, and don't say what you shouldn't," Li Minxi said from the side.
"I won't say anything I shouldn't outside."
"Alright, it's getting late. Shall we go out for lunch?" Guo Xuyang said.
"Liu He just arranged for someone to deliver a day's worth of ingredients this morning, so we won't be going out," Li Minxi said.
"You two shouldn't leave either. Lend a hand later and taste your cooking."
"Uh, we're not good at cooking," Li Xiaolu said softly.
"The postpartum center has dedicated chefs to help with the cooking.
We are only responsible for the post-natal care and recovery of the clients."
"Is that so? Then forget it. You two just chat with the sisters and get to know each other first. Leave the cooking to Yangzi."
"Me? What about Dad?" Guo Xuyang was displeased.
"If you're here, do you expect Dad to cook? Can't you let the old man rest properly?" Li Minxi retorted.
"I'm not good at cooking either."
"As long as it's cooked, that's enough. You're so lazy every day."
As they were talking, Guo Yiyu entered from the door.
"Speak of the devil. Dad, isn't it time to cook?" Guo Xuyang said with a smile.
"He's been wild lately. He doesn't come back until it's time to cook," Wu Shangqing said.
"You ladies chat at home, what am I, a big man, going to do?
What do you want to eat? I'll cook for you," Guo Yiyu said.
"There are plenty of ingredients delivered this morning. Just do whatever you think is best," Wu Shangqing said.
"You won't tell me, so don't criticize me after I cook," Guo Yiyu said, heading into the kitchen.
"Dad, boil a pot of lamb soup. I'm craving it."
"You brat, you drink lamb soup every day and it's still not enough. Come over and lend a hand."
Guo Yiyu didn't notice Li Xiaolu and Gao Yuan.
The main reason was that there were too many daughters-in-law at home, and it was indeed inconvenient for a man like him to be around.
So he often went out to play chess with his elder brother and came back to cook at mealtime.
After eating and resting for a while, he would go out again to chat with people or play chess.
This had become his normal routine.
So he didn't notice the two extra girls at home.
Cooking a meal was a piece of cake for Guo Yiyu, as most of the ingredients delivered were semi-finished products.
It wasn't until dinner that he noticed two more people at the table.
"Who are they?" Guo Yiyu asked Guo Xuyang.
"This is Li Xiaolu, and this is Gao Yuan. They are nurses I found from the postpartum care center.
From now on, when Xiao Hong and the others give birth, these two will help with the care, so Mom won't be too tired."
Guo Xuyang said, then turned to Li Xiaolu and Gao Yuan.
"This is my dad, Guo Yiyu."
"Hello, Uncle." The two stood up to greet him.
"Sit, sit, sit down and eat. From now on, consider this your home, don't be shy."
Guo Yiyu gestured downwards with his hand.
"Thank you, Uncle." The two sat down.
From today on, Li Xiaolu and Gao Yuan were officially on duty.
After the meal, Guo Xuyang took Li Xiaolu and Gao Yuan to the second floor of the villa in the west and found a room for them to live in.
"From now on, you two will live in this room. It will be convenient for you to take care of each other.
There's a security room and a kitchen downstairs, and they are on duty twenty-four hours a day.
These people here are all single men. See if any of them catch your eye?
If you find someone you like, tell me, and I'll be your matchmaker."
Guo Xuyang teased with a smile.
"Mr. Guo doesn't need to worry about this. I have a boyfriend," Li Xiaolu said.
"May I know what your boyfriend does?"
"He's a doctor, and he also works in a hospital."
"Oh, so you're living out? Isn't it better to be with your boyfriend?"
"He's not in the same hospital as me."
"I see. You didn't tell your boyfriend that you were coming to work here. Don't let him misunderstand anything later."
"We haven't lived together yet. I've always lived with Gao Yuan and the others."
"How is that possible? Doesn't your boyfriend trust a beautiful girl like you to live alone?"
"He just started working not too long ago, and it's hard to find housing here.
Besides, it's not convenient for him to live with us."
"Are you classmates?"
"No. We met during training. He's pursuing me."
"He will definitely overthink it when you come to this place.
I don't demand anything else, but I don't want him to cause trouble here.
Because there are many women here, and many of them are pregnant.
I don't want any unpleasant incidents to happen here."
"Don't worry, Mr. Guo. These things won't happen.
If he's not willing, I'll break up with him," Li Xiaolu said.
"It's not that serious. Talk things through properly.
I won't stop you if you go out on a date, but you can't neglect your work."
"I'll be mindful of that, Mr. Guo.
About recommending some sisters to work here, what do you think?"
"You two can send me the list.
You both have my phone number anyway.
Once the housing is settled, I'll have them brought over."
"Thank you, Mr. Guo."
"Don't be so polite. From now on, you can eat and live here.
As you saw earlier, these people are all lined up to give birth.
Once they give birth, you'll be busy.
If you need to go out for anything, inform me or Xiao Xi in advance.
We'll sign the contracts in a moment, and I'll transfer some of the money to you afterwards.
If you work well here, there will always be bonuses, and we will definitely satisfy you.
You two can unpack first, and then go to Xiao Xi to sign the contract."
Guo Xuyang said and left.
