Chapter 126: The Tsinghua Nanny with an Annual Salary of Five Hundred Thousand
Page 1/3
This spending power is absolutely pitiful! Cheng Yao found it both amusing and frustrating. Lu Mengyao had always been discerning, while Lin Ketong was simply older and, having been a car model, was accustomed to luxury goods and couldn’t live without them. If Cheng Yao hadn’t dragged the two of them along to shop, they probably wouldn’t have continued spending at all.
In fact, Cheng Yao’s generosity in spending on them also put Ouyang Aili and Zhenli under some pressure. Were they really worthy of this?
Zhenli asked curiously, “Are you this good to every woman you get close to?”
“Not really,” Cheng Yao replied. “I’m not this generous with my girlfriend. I’ve never bought her anything expensive.”
He thought to himself that he had once bought Zhang Ya a watch costing more than 700,000 yuan, but that was about it. Compared to Lu Mengyao and Lin Ketong, it was a world apart.
Ouyang Zhenli couldn’t help but say, “But you’re going to marry her, right?”
“Of course. She can only marry me in this lifetime.”
He couldn’t imagine Zhang Ya marrying anyone else. He wasn’t penniless anymore; Zhang Ya’s parents were middle class, but they were now on completely different levels. He didn’t lack money. In the future, money would be just a number to him; his strength and status would only rise. But first love was always unforgettable—he wanted to marry her no matter what.
Ouyang Aili admired, “What you’re giving her is a promise—that’s the most precious thing! But I’m not jealous. If you like me, I hope you’ll be happy marrying the girl you love.”
Spending some time with the two sisters, Cheng Yao found that aside from being practical, they were kind-hearted girls, even more outstanding than most.
“Let’s go back.”
“Okay.”
“Going back to the new home, I want to fill the closet with my clothes. Can I buy figurines online freely from now on?”
Cheng Yao stroked her hair. “We’ll set up a separate figurine room just for you.”
“Okay, you promised that, right?”
“Of course.”
His hands were already full. Cheng Yao said, “This is when having a car really shows its advantage. Even if Aili doesn’t learn, Zhenli will have to.”
“I know, I’ll definitely learn.”
Back at Huiyuetai, they arrived at building five and took the elevator to their room where staff were inspecting equipment and cleaners were disinfecting and tidying up.
On the left side of the living room, boxes were stacked. The moving fees had been paid. When the staff and cleaners saw such young tenants, they were surprised.
“Mr. Cheng, hello. We just need to check the wiring and we’ll be done.”
“Okay, carry on.”
A middle-aged woman holding a rag smiled and asked, “Boss, how much is this place worth?”
“Over 60 million.”
“Over 60 million? Does your family need a housekeeper?”
Zhenli smiled gently, “Auntie, we don’t need a housekeeper, thank you.”
“I’m just asking. My daughter graduated from Tsinghua University and is applying for housekeeping jobs now. Her salary expectations aren’t high…”
“Tsinghua?”
“Yes, yes.”
Seeing Cheng Yao’s interest, the woman smiled and promoted her daughter.
It was the first time Cheng Yao heard of a Tsinghua graduate working as a housekeeper—is that real? “What’s her salary expectation?”
“My daughter wants 500,000 a year. I’m not sure about the details. If you need her, I can leave my contact info.”
“No, thank you. We don’t need a housekeeper here.”
Cheng Yao smiled. A Tsinghua graduate working as a housekeeper—was she really committed to this, or was there another plan? Most graduates from Tsinghua or Peking University went abroad, right? Maybe her major wasn’t very sought after, or she wouldn’t have ended up like this.

He had read in the news that Tsinghua and Peking were essentially talent pools for the United States. Most who went abroad never came back—many stayed in the US, even some famous figures, enjoying high salaries. This was probably true. Of course, some patriotic individuals did return. There have always been such people in every era.
The cleaner seemed disappointed but didn’t say anything further, afraid of offending anyone.
Ouyang Zhenli and Aili felt no pressure. Since Cheng Yao lived in Jinling, even if he found a Tsinghua housekeeper, she wouldn’t stay here. Besides, even if a girl was ordinary-looking with high education, he probably wouldn’t fancy her—after all, he was quite the rogue.
As a rogue, he naturally wanted to do the things rogues do. Though their education might not match up, in terms of looks, the two sisters were more than a match for anyone.
They busily packed their things, full of energy. This was the first time they found so much joy in packing, organizing everything neatly and hanging new clothes in the wardrobe.
Ouyang Aili made a hand gesture like a camera to check the angle, then placed her figurines, nodding in satisfaction, whimsical as ever.
Zhenli folded clothes while Cheng Yao rested on the sofa, conserving his energy.
Liu Hanyue and others had rushed from Baiyun Mountain to the airport, seemingly in a bad mood.
Wang Churuo probably tricked Liu Hanyue into going bungee jumping.
Zhang Lei swore off online dating the moment he jumped. Whether he found a dragon last night or not, Cheng Yao wasn’t sure. But with Wang Wenbo as a mobile cannon, he probably did.
That phrase—“Now kissing on my lips”—left an indelible shadow on Zhang Lei.
Wang Wenbo: “Master, you really are the master. I underestimated you before. From now on, you’re the dorm leader—the leader is whoever is the most flirtatious!”
Wang Churuo: “Cheng Yao, aren’t you going back?”
Cheng Yao: “I’ll stay here for two days. I found an investment opportunity to develop.”
His “investment opportunity” was naturally the Ouyang sisters. In fact, to him, they were a guaranteed, highly profitable venture.
Liu Hanyue: “Cheng Yao, I’ll tell you a secret…”
Wang Churuo: “Cheng Yao, I have a secret too…”
Liu Hanyue: “Hmph!”
Wang Churuo: “Nyah nyah nyah~~”
Cheng Yao: “?”
Afterward, Cheng Yao reported to Chen Xingyan, since she was still waiting for him to return so they could spar.
No need to mention Zhang Ya—they communicated silently through messages.
Lu Mengyao and Lin Ketong were even more so; if Cheng Yao didn’t message them, they wouldn’t initiate contact, always alert and cautious.
They had been too clingy this past month, so it was time to give each other some space to think about life.
Twenty minutes later, the cleaners finished their work.
They checked every corner to ensure everything was cleaned. The place wasn’t very large—just 300 square meters—so four cleaners finished quickly, especially since they only cleaned the surface.
Once everyone left, Cheng Yao began setting up their computers.
Desktop computers were the most troublesome—disassembly and assembly were complicated.
“The computer model is a bit old. Gaming isn’t smooth.”
Ouyang Aili nodded gently, “Yeah, sometimes it lags a little, but it’s okay. It’s already three years old.”
“Find a time to replace it before I leave. Replace whatever needs to be replaced. Consider it a fresh start.”
“Okay.”
Just then, Zhenli came in holding a phone. “Mom called, asking why we moved.”
“Just tell her I found a boyfriend.”
“Sigh, boyfriend…” The voice on the other end seemed flustered and surprised—that was the nervousness of a child’s father.
Cheng Yao looked at Aili. She took the phone and said, “Mom, I know about the boyfriend. He’s handsome… I’ll show you next time. We can talk about this later…”

Ouyang Aili didn’t agree rashly; it would be awkward if Cheng Yao didn’t approve.
Zhenli took the phone and went to the door, saying, “Yes, we’ve found a new home. The environment is good, closer to school. Aili and I are doing well. Please don’t worry. Just take care of yourselves. That’s all…”
After hanging up, Zhenli looked at Cheng Yao. “Our parents said they’ll come back for New Year, so…”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be free then.”
Cheng Yao was good at helping with polite evasions; it was just a matter of having a meal together. Still, he asked, “Do your parents know about your decision?”
“No, this was our decision alone. It has nothing to do with them. No one can change our minds.”
Cheng Yao teased, “The rebellious phase has arrived, huh?”
Ouyang Zhenli rolled her eyes. Wasn’t this just sisterly love?
Aili played with her figurines, putting a finger to her lips thoughtfully. “What should I wear tonight? Cheng Yao, what do you want me and my sister to wear?”
“Sigh, do I have to join too?” Zhenli blushed.
These things should be done one at a time. Cheng Yao probably couldn’t handle both at once!
He stood up. “Zhenli, you’re not thinking of getting something for nothing, are you?”
Turning the words back, Cheng Yao said firmly, “Don’t worry about my health. I’m in great shape.”
“I’m not… even if that’s true…”
Zhenli was embarrassed and at a loss for words.
Cheng Yao said seriously, “This is my dream.”
“You pervert, your dream is really unbelievable and hard to accept…” Zhenli turned her back to him.
Ouyang Aili whispered, “I’ll convince her. Don’t worry.”
“I’m counting on you!” Cheng Yao entrusted her with this tough task.
At that moment, calling Ouyang Aili his little sweetheart was no exaggeration.
Cheng Yao helped pack, and the three worked hard until about 4:30 p.m., finally finishing.
Since it was luxuriously decorated with all the necessary branded equipment, there was no need to replace anything, which was very convenient.
There was also dinner planned at a Michelin restaurant in the evening for a bit of romance. It was nearby, just three or four blocks away.
Gradually, night fell.
Guangzhou’s nights were bustling, with endless pedestrians and abundant food aromas wafting through the air.
Michelin dining cost about 2,000 yuan per person, reflecting the ingredients and culinary skills.
In fact, Cheng Yao found some flavors strange and not quite to his taste. Some dishes were indeed delicious, though... there were both flaws and merits.
The champagne was good. It was the first time Cheng Yao had asked for a drink voluntarily outside, since he wouldn’t be driving later.
Forgotten—
He was going to drive—
And on the super “expressway,” no less.
The two beauties celebrated a little. After eating their fill, they found the meal quite tasty.
After leaving the restaurant, they strolled around, digested, then bought some food, milk, and toast to stock in the fridge.
By the time they returned, it was already 8:30 p.m.
Cheng Yao put down the things and drew the curtains. Ouyang Aili approached him eagerly.
“Darling, are you going to shower first, or eat me up first~”
