Have a disastrous first meeting with your new boss 3

Mrs Ma gestured to the seat next to Qin Tao, "Have a seat," nodding to the basket of buns, corn, and a bottle of soy milk, "Make yourself at home".

"Thanks," Song Ruoxin picked up a plate from the side table and walked to the buffet. She picked a few dishes and put them on her plate before going to her seat.

Qin Tao smiled up at her as she did, "Pretty Jie Jie are you replacing Miss Yang?"

"Yes," she picked up the cutlery, "Were you close to your former Nanny_ I mean Miss Yang?"

"No really," Qin Tao replied in almost a murmur.

Ruoxin tilted her head and glanced at the boy, he quickly avoided her gaze and pushed back his seat.

"Yumei Jie is already waiting outside, I should get going".

"Oh," she glanced down at the young boy's half-eaten food, "...but you haven't finished your food".

"It is alright Miss Song. I am already full," he got down from the chair, pushed the seat forward, and picked up his plate.

Song Ruoxin stood, "Wait, don't worry about the plate, I will take it out. Get going".

Qin Tao glanced at her eyes wide, "really?" he smiled as she nodded, "Thank you, Miss Song," he said with a wide smile. He put on his little rad flash school back on the chair next to his seat and skipped out of the room.

Her lips curved as she watched him leave, "so cute," she muttered as she sat and once again picked up the cutlery.

After eating she took the plates to the kitchen and washed the dishes. She stayed back up to help out a little before going up to unpack her bag.

She slapped her hands together and let out a voiceless screen as she stepped into the room and shut the door behind her.

She grabbed the back handle and lifted the box to the bed. Song Ruoxin sorted her clothes and transferred them to the wardrobe. Once that was done she unpacked the rest of her things.

It was a little after noon when she finished setting up her computer. After a thirty minutes rest, she went downstairs to collect a copy of the kids' Academic calendar and schedule.

She knocked twice at Mrs Ma's office door without any response. "Is she not here," she mumbled and stepped away from the door.

She gasped and jumped aside as her back met an ice-cold surface. Her phone nearly fell off her hand but she quickly held it right.

"Jiayi! I am so sorry. I did not see you there," she held her hand to her chest and turned back.

Jiayi scuffed and lifting the box of fish high, continued forward.

Ruoxin arched a brow as the other woman walked away, "what in the," she shook her head and stood straight.

She pulled her blouse down. Stared at her back, apart from a slight dampness on her blouse, her clothes were not stained.

She straightened out her clothes and went into the kitchen, Jiayi stood by one of the double sinks washing the fish.

"Ruoxin ah, why are you down here?" the cook placed a basket of vegetables on the table, "You just arrived today, take your time".

Song Ruoxin's lips curved, "I can't find Mrs Ma?"

"Oh my, how could she have forgotten to inform you of something so important? Mrs Ma went back to the old Mansion to are the old madam. She usually does that when we twice a month," Mrs Yang said.

"Wow, I had no idea. Is the old mansion far from here?"

"Oh Yes, it is in the old suburbs. Don't worry you will go there soon, old madam's birthday is four days.

"There will be a party that will be hosted at re old mansion, Miss Ma usually attends those parties with Chairman to take care of the kids. Though now that you are here, you will have to join the Chairman and the kids to go down there".

"Really," she blinked, "that sounds serious. I guess I should get acquainted with the Qin family traditions. I wouldn't like to make a mistake".

She glanced at the vegetables and other ingredients on the island and counter. "Can I help you with anything? The kids aren't back yet."

Mrs Yang stared at her for a few seconds and nodded, "Alright, you can help me wash and cut the vegetables. I will start with the seafood".

Song Ruoxin smiled and moved to the island, "Sure".

Mrs Yang unwrapped the octopus and poured it into a bowl, "Ruoxin, do you cook?"

"A little but only simple dishes. I want to learn through".

"it is good that one learns how to cook, don't worry you look smart. Once you join us to cook often, you will learn eventually".

"I guess so".

Song Ruoxins brow knitted when Jiayi said snidely, "Luckily your job doesn't require you to know how to cook".

There was a few seconds of silence which Mrs Yang promptly broke.

"I have worked for the Qin family for over 30 years, I watched the Chairman grow up. The Qin family is very traditional, Chairman Qin is the Eldest of three children.

"You have met Mrs Qin, she interview you. She is married to President Min, they will be present at the party. Second master Qin Hai is not in the country, he might not be there.

"These are just a few key members of the Qin family, the remaining key members of the family that you will meet are old madam's three daughters.

"Like old madam, they like to wear Qipao so it will be easy to identify them. It is their Children that might be difficult to identify. The oldest of old Madam's Daughters is Madam Fu.

"She is married to Director Fu, who works in the Ministry of Culture. The second daughter is Madam He, her husband, and children are all abroad.

"She came back alone so you don't need to worry about her family. The last daughter Madam Gu is married to General Gu, her son and husband are government officials.

"They work outside the city so she will be there with her daughter-in-law, Mrs Deng. The Qin family is respectable, they will not make things difficult for you.

"Especially since you are working for the chairman. Just make sure to be respectful and do not cause a scene. Old Madam Qin does not appreciate uncultured people".

Song Ruoxin nodded, "Thanks, Mrs Yang. I will not disappoint you all".

Mrs Yang's smile widened, she was very satisfied with this new nanny.
