"Hello Mr. Liang, I’m the one who came for the job interview; my name is Mu Ya." The man seemed somewhat shy. "It’s really so unexpected and such a pleasant surprise; I couldn’t believe I was actually chosen."
"Please have a seat." As Liang He had his meal, he asked, "Are you a fan of mine?"
"To be honest, no, I’m not a fan. I don’t follow celebrities, but my wife follows your Weibo. She likes watching the TV dramas you act in, and when she saw you were hiring, she told me to apply. It just so happened I was out of work, so I thought I’d try my luck."
Hearing this, what a truly earnest person.
"What did you do before?"
"I did similar work in the past, but I was with a very minor female celebrity. She had a terrible temper and didn’t treat me like a human being. It just so happened my wife was about to give birth, so I quit that job. But I was an assistant, not an assistant-like agent."
Liang He nodded. "Can you drive? Can you cook?"
"Yes, I’ve had my driver’s license for seven or eight years, and we have a private car at home. I also cook—my wife stays at home with the child, and I’m the one who cooks."
"Hmm, do you smoke or drink?"
"I do smoke, but not much. I drink occasionally. As a man, if I claimed I never did, you might not believe me, but I have never driven drunk, and my license has never had points docked."
Long Tianjiao asked, "Big brother, how old are you?"
"I’m 31." Mu Ya smiled. "May I ask how I should address this young lady?"
"My name is Long Tianjiao."
"She is my fiancée; you can stay."
Long Tianjiao suddenly looked at Liang He, not expecting him to acknowledge his relationship with her. Although it was a fact, to have it confirmed by him, how should she put it—it was incredibly pleasant.
Mu Ya was kept on board; he would officially start work tomorrow. Liang He offered a salary of 7000 yuan a month, with bonuses during the holidays and the possibility of a pay raise after working for a while.
After he left, the two nearly finished their lunch.

"When you introduced me as your fiancée just now, you were so manly."
"Do your son and ex-daughter-in-law still contact each other after the divorce?" The lady of wealth asked Lu’s mother while playing mahjong.
"I don’t know if they’re in touch, but I’m certainly not," Dragon Mother said irritably, taking a drag of her cigarette. "Before the divorce, she had a higher status in the family than I did. My mother-in-law doted on her exclusively."
"Now it’s better; you can take your time choosing the next daughter-in-law."
"I’m not getting involved in that." Dragon Mother knew very well she couldn’t control it. "It’s his business; he will make his own choices. Even if he doesn’t, my mother-in-law would be involved, and I don’t get a say."
The three wealthy ladies exchanged glances and smiled without saying a word.
"Mrs. Long, you haven’t come out to play mahjong for quite a long while. What have you been up to recently?"
Of course, Dragon Mother wouldn’t tell them she had just recovered from an illness.
"What else could I be busy with? Went out for a trip." Dragon Mother stamped out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and took a sip of tea from the cup nearby. "Just got back from somewhere."
"Oh my, Mrs. Long, we’re a bit curious—did your son and your former daughter-in-law not conceive a child after over half a year of marriage? Or were they unable to?"
"My son said he didn’t want one, so they didn’t have one; he’s always been someone with his own ideas."
"The way things are nowadays, divorce isn’t much of a problem for men, especially for families like ours. But it’s different for women. After divorce, their value drops, and which good man would want them? Don’t worry, your son is so outstanding; surely, he can find a daughter-in-law who is more excellent than Gu Lili."
