"So, General Manager Guo wants you to stay here?" she said, looking at the bed in the room.
"Yeah. What's wrong?"
"Isn't this just one bed?"
"Lulu and I will stay here. We haven't stayed here before, though. The day we arrived, Sister Xiao Hong gave birth, and we've been at the hospital keeping her company these past few days. What? Do you want a room to yourself?" Gao Yuan asked.
"If I have to sleep in the same bed as someone else, I'll feel awkward," she said.
"I've looked at the rooms here. Downstairs, the security area has bunk beds, with seven or eight people sharing. The upstairs rooms are all arranged like this. They say it's for General Manager Guo's relatives and friends. If you feel it's not suitable, you can add another bed; there's plenty of space. Oh, there's a bathroom in here too."
"Yes, all the upstairs rooms have independent bathrooms and showers. There's also a kitchen downstairs. General Manager Guo mentioned last time that all the ingredients in the downstairs kitchen are delivered uniformly by the restaurant."
"Do those security guards also cook in the downstairs kitchen?"
"I really don't know. Didn't I just say? I went to the hospital as soon as I arrived without staying here. I've been at the hospital keeping her company. If it weren't for accompanying Director Li back today, I'd still be taking care of her at the hospital."
"Is the work tiring?"
"Not tiring at all. You all know that Bao Bao, as a newborn, just eats and sleeps, so she's very easy to look after."
"What's the temper of that Sister Xiao Hong you mentioned earlier like? Is she as formidable as General Manager Guo?" Yang Bin asked.
"She's very nice. She's a college student who was abducted. General Manager Guo rescued her. It was out of gratitude, or perhaps they fell in love, and they got together."
"Aren't you and Li Xiaolu more than enough to take care of two women, a mother and a daughter? Why do you need more people?"
"General Manager Guo's family is quite large. You'll find out after you sign the contract. I can't say too much about this."
"Are you implying there are other pregnant women who need care?" she asked.
"Something like that. Mainly, General Manager Guo wants to set up his own postnatal care center, so he needs quite a few people. However, the location hasn't been finalized yet. If you're willing to come over, you can. If not, it's also good to wait until the postnatal care center is established," Gao Yuan said.
"What are the temperaments of the others like?" Yang Bin asked.
"They're all pretty much the same. Just as General Manager Guo said, everyone has their own job. Except for the pregnant ones, who don't have much to do. They spend their days with the elderly lady, holding a child, and visiting Sister Xiao Hong."
"The pregnant ones? Are you saying they are all General Manager Guo's wives?" she asked, surprised.
"I didn't say that. Jia Jia, this isn't something you should concern yourself with. Working here, unlike at the postnatal care center, some things can be said and some cannot. You have to understand that."
"I understand. You must know the temperaments of those people who go to see the Sister Xiao Hong you mentioned, right?"
"All these people have very good temperaments, and as a family, they are quite harmonious."
"Aren't you planning to go back to the hospital?"
"I'm not going back. What's the point of going back? To be harassed by that person again? The work isn't satisfying, and the pay is low," Gao Yuan said.
"Here, we're all like family. No one looks down on me and Lulu because we're here for nursing. We eat together, we live together, and Sister Xiao Hong's temper is very gentle."
