"You're saying... you want me to be a nanny for the ice-cold CEO, Su Meng?"
Jiang Ning's eyes widened, staring at his friend with disbelief.
His friend, Su Che, patted Jiang Ning on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Dude, this is a great opportunity to make money."
"No, Lao Su, the ice-cold CEO Su Meng... tell me the truth, you're both surnamed Su, aren't you related?"
Su Che was Jiang Ning's best friend from college; their relationship was very good back then.
Su Che coughed lightly, "Ahem, no way. We've just known each other since childhood. Basically, Su Meng has to go abroad for a super important collaboration and will be gone for three months. She's in a hurry to find someone reliable to take care of her three-year-old daughter."
Jiang Ning said awkwardly, "But... I have no experience taking care of children."
"Don't worry, buddy. Don't I know your situation? Besides, the pay is generous. Just do me a favor and give it a try."
Jiang Ning was just about to refuse again when a crisp electronic voice suddenly rang out in his mind: "Ding! Super Nanny System binding... Binding successful!"
Following that, the system's detailed information and the contents of the Newbie Package flooded into his mind.
Jiang Ning frowned strangely.
He then spoke, "Open the Newbie Package."
"Host, the Newbie Package contains: Childcare Experience Mastery, Top-Tier Culinary Skills, Beginner Painting Skill, and Beginner Carpentry Skill. It has now been distributed."
Subsequently, a stream of information surged into Jiang Ning's mind, and his arms also underwent changes.
Jiang Ning's heart stirred; with this system, he might actually be able to handle it.
So, he nodded and agreed to his friend Su Che's request.
Jiang Ning gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Alright, for the sake of friendship, I'll do my best to fulfill my nanny duties."
For Jiang Ning, who had just graduated two years ago and had just lost his job, accepting this job as a nanny was indeed a brand new challenge.
Whether it was his friend Su Che's suggestion, or his own willingness to take it on, at least he had a job.
It was just that this job was different from working in an office; it involved looking after a child.
It sounded a bit harsh, like a babysitter, or rather, he was essentially a babysitter, just with the name changed to 'nanny'.
So, early the next morning, Jiang Ning got up early.
He tidied his clothes, dressed neatly, and went out to take the bus to the designated location.
As agreed, Jiang Ning arrived at Su Meng's luxurious villa.
"Ding-ling"
Jiang Ning pressed the doorbell of the villa.
The villa's gate slowly opened, and a woman in an exquisite white suit stood at the door.
She had a beautiful face, but her eyes were as cold as ice; it was Su Meng.
"You are Jiang Ning?"
Su Meng sized up Jiang Ning, her eyes full of scrutiny.
"Hello, Ms. Su. I'm Jiang Ning, here to apply for the temporary nanny position."
Jiang Ning said with a smile, trying his best to appear confident.
Su Meng nodded slightly, stepping aside to let Jiang Ning in.
"Come in. My daughter's name is Mengmeng, and she's quite mischievous. She's in your care for the next three months. I've compiled her daily routine and preferences, and I'll send them to you shortly." Su Meng's voice was cool and distant.
At that moment, a little girl with two small braids ran down from upstairs, her big, watery eyes curiously fixed on Jiang Ning. "Mommy, who is he?"
Su Meng squatted down, speaking gently to the little girl, "Mengmeng, this is Uncle Jiang Ning, and he will play with you for the next three months."
Jiang Ning also quickly squatted down, looking Mengmeng in the eye, and said with a smile, "Hello, Mengmeng. Uncle brought you a gift."
With that, he took out an exquisite handmade wooden puzzle from his bag. He had made it overnight using the Beginner Carpentry Skill provided by the system.
Mengmeng's eyes immediately lit up. "Wow, thank you, Uncle Jiang! Such a beautiful puzzle!"
"You're welcome, Mengmeng. Shall we play with the puzzle together now?"
"Okay, okay, Uncle Jiang, play puzzles with me!" Mengmeng blinked her big, bright eyes, looking adorable.
Jiang Ning felt a pang of affection seeing the cute little girl.
He affectionately stroked Mengmeng's head, his face full of doting affection.
Su Meng watched this scene and had a decent first impression of Jiang Ning.
"Jiang Ning, take good care of Mengmeng. Contact my assistant if you have any problems." After saying that, Su Meng turned and went to handle her unfinished work.
"Don't worry, General Manager Su, I will take good care of Mengmeng."
Jiang Ning looked at Su Meng's tall figure and then at Mengmeng, who was playing with the puzzle in her hands.
He secretly made up his mind to make these three months perfect.
Jiang Ning said to Mengmeng, who was holding the jigsaw puzzle with great fondness, "Come on, Mengmeng, let's find a place to play the puzzle together."
"Okay, okay, Uncle Jiang. Come on, I'll take you to my Entertainment Room, we'll play there." Mengmeng very obediently held Jiang Ning's hand and walked into the villa.
They took the elevator to the second floor, Mengmeng's Entertainment Room.
If you called it an Entertainment Room, it was more like a small entertainment park.
The room was very spacious, this room alone was a full five hundred square meters.
There were toys, dolls, balloons, mini slides, small bumper cars, and so on, everything.
This made Jiang Ning, who walked in, quite surprised.
"A rich kid is really different."
Thinking about his temporary rental, which was less than ten square meters.
Other people's rich kids had an entire Entertainment Room.
"Sigh, I just need to work hard and earn money," Jiang Ning sighed.
"Uncle Jiang, this is my Entertainment Room, come on, let's sit over there and do a puzzle," Mengmeng started to say in a childish voice.
"Alright."
They came to sit down on a foam mat where the entire floor was made of interlocking tiles.
Jiang Ning gave Mengmeng a handmade wooden puzzle, which had a little girl drawn on it.
Mengmeng was very focused, moving it left and right, but unfortunately, no matter what she did, she couldn't complete the image of the little girl.
But she was still very serious and didn't give up.
Jiang Ning was right beside her, patiently guiding and prompting.
The two of them were having a great time.
After five minutes.
"Ding!"
A mechanical system voice sounded in Jiang Ning's mind: "Congratulations, Host, you have obtained Top-Tier Thinking Skill."
Subsequently, some logical thinking techniques entered Jiang Ning's mind.
Jiang Ning felt his mind become clear and sharp.
Some things that used to puzzle him, he now found laughable when he thought about them.
"System, what does 'Top-Tier Thinking Skill' mean? And how are the tiers of thinking skills categorized?"
"Host, thinking skills are divided into Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Top-Tier, Grandmaster, Supreme Grandmaster, and God-Tier."
"Then what level was my thinking before?" Jiang Ning continued to ask.
"Host, your thinking was Beginner level."
Jiang Ning's face darkened when he heard the System say his original thinking was only Beginner level.
"Then what level is Mengmeng's thinking?"
System: "Mengmeng's thinking is at the Initial Budding Level."
"Initial Budding Level?"
The Super Nanny System: "Yes. All children under the age of three are in a state of confusion regarding the unknown, and they are all at the Initial Budding Level."
"And after the age of three?"
The Super Nanny System: "After the age of three, depending on the talents of different children, some with good talent or good education will reach the Intermediate Budding Level or the Advanced Budding Level."
"Alright, so that's how it is. So, after the Advanced Budding Level comes the Primary Level? My elementary school student's thinking is only a little bit higher than a child's, is that what you mean?"
The Super Nanny System: "Host, don't doubt yourself. Those below the elementary school level are basically still in the Budding state. They are all growing while learning. Generally, after graduating from elementary school, they are basically at the Primary thinking level. Unless they are some freakish talents."
"Sigh, in short, I don't belong to the freakish talents; I'm just an ordinary elementary school graduate. No wonder I'm not doing well," Jiang Ning sighed.
