Seeing her still too nervous, the leader took on a work-like demeanor and chatted softly: "By the way, ma’am, I noticed you’re not from our staff dormitory, are you visiting family here?"

This director also lived in the staff dormitory, and while he couldn’t claim to know all the residents intimately, he was somewhat familiar with them.

Furthermore, their community was quite special, having very high requirements for tenants or homeowners.

Whenever someone rented out or sold their house, the teachers and professors in the community quickly became aware of it.

Recently, the leader hadn’t heard of any new faces around.

He Tiantian heard the leader’s question and seemed a bit flustered, quickly and honestly replied: "I’m here for an interview! Teacher Wang from Unit 302 of Building Nine needs a nanny!"

"My name is He Aitian, I’m here to interview for the nanny position. But Teacher Wang said they need a few days to consider, and told me to wait at home for news!"

"As I was leaving, heading straight outside, I passed by the small garden and noticed that teacher, oh, Professor Qiao didn’t look right!"

"During my training at the housekeeping company, I learned some courses on caregiving and have a basic understanding of the essentials, so I suspected Professor Qiao might be ill."

"Leader! You must be a supervisor at the school. I was really just passing by, I still need to find a job, I, I—"

Saying this, He Tiantian’s face was filled with urgency, her eyes were written with helplessness and panic.

She portrayed the demeanor of a small character vividly.

The leader observed He Tiantian’s expressions and little gestures, and with his years of experience, he was certain this middle-aged woman was not lying.

And hearing He Tiantian mention "having taken some caregiving courses," "I still need to find a job," the leader’s eyes lit up.

Receiving the news and on his way to the hospital, the leader was fretting about how to handle Professor Qiao’s situation.

Being the director, the leader was well aware of Old Qiao’s family circumstances—

A few years ago, his spouse passed away, and while he had children, they all went abroad.

His son was already married overseas, most likely without any surprises, they would settle there.

Though his daughter was unmarried, she rarely returned after going abroad, and last year it was heard she had a foreign boyfriend.

Judging by her stance, she might also stay abroad for development.

Old Qiao, perhaps because his children have grown, or maybe he doesn’t care much, after his spouse’s passing, someone even introduced him to find a new partner, but he declined.

Old Qiao was busy with work, usually relying on the cafeteria for meals or his students and post-grads helped prepare them.

For household chores, a part-time worker cleaned, and his students would help with some tasks.

So even though Old Qiao was alone, his life didn’t suffer much.

But now there was a sudden incident, Old Qiao collapsed directly.

He was taken into surgery without anyone to sign for him.

And there’s the subsequent care... The leader shook his head, he had called Old Qiao’s children.

However, being thousands of miles apart, both children were busy people. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Learning about their father’s illness, while they were worried, they couldn’t immediately return.

Taking leave, booking flights, and time on the road, even with all the hustle, it would take at least two to three days.

Even if they returned, they couldn’t stay with Old Qiao all the time.

Go without work?

Neglect their studies?!

So after everything, there’s still nobody by Old Qiao’s side!

Luckily, Old Qiao had money, and the school wouldn’t neglect him, so they could help hire a nanny or caregiver.

The director had just called the union leader, exchanged opinions on both sides, and unanimously decided: during Professor Qiao’s hospitalization, the school would arrange someone to take care of him.

Originally, the director intended to ask medical staff for assistance in hiring a caregiver for Old Qiao upon reaching the hospital.

But, upon hearing He Tiantian’s words, the leader suddenly had an idea.

"Ma’am, you don’t have a job now?" The leader confirmed once more.

He Tiantian quickly nodded, pretending not to notice the leader’s interest, and said nonchalantly: "Yes, my daughter is still in college, I need to earn her tuition, I’m busy looking for a job!"

"Great!" The leader exclaimed in surprise, "Ma’am, how about this?"

"Professor Qiao’s family isn’t around, even if they come back, it wouldn’t be convenient for them to care for him long-term. You, being a professional, also saved Old Qiao’s life!"
