Chapter 7 Men Should Protect Women

She walked into the kitchen and watched Tian Ci cooking on the small bench. With the smell of delicious food was overflowing, she felt even more proud. "Good boy, you are so great..."

"Mom, wash your hands and take a rest before dinner's ready. En'en, go to get the bowl..." Tian Ci ordered, while skillfully stirring the food in the pot, seeming not a five-year-old child.

With these two babies, it was the happiest moment for He Yining. Due to her tight budget, the dinner only contained one meat dish and one vegetable dish. He Yining put all the meat into the two children's bowls, thinking of bringing back some leftovers to them from the stall afterwards.

After dinner, He Yining hughed them in the small sofa and watched TV, enjoying the simple and peaceful happiness at this moment, which was she had been dreaming for before.

"Mum, I've walked around with En'en today. In fact, we can also help make money. There is a cinema over there, so we can..."

"No..." Before Tian Ci could finish, He Yining interrupted him. She knew Tian Ci so well, who was trying to help make money. She acknowledged that he was very smart, but he was only five years old. She was already worried that she couldn't stay with them, not to mention letting them go out to make money.

Tian Ci shifted his position and looked at He Yining's face, "Mom, I'm not a child. Don't worry about us. I'll look after En'en ..."

At this time, Tian En took He Yining's hand and nodded seriously; she was trying to express her feelings that she could take care of herself.

The two little guys pulled her hand with one on her left and the other on her right. He Yining held them in her arms and took a deep breath. "Okay, I know you are my good babies. Don't have this idea again. Soon or later, I'll have enough money for you to go to school, and making money should be done by us adults. "

"Mom, I'm not a kid anymore. I don't want you to work so hard. A man should protect a woman..."

He Yining didn't know where he had learned this sentence. Unable to give them a happy childhood, she was already guilty enough; how could she let them go out to make money?

"Tian Ci, En'en, do you want to make your mom angry? You just stay at home, and I will get another job. Soon we will have enough money for you to go to school. Did you hear me?"

Tian Ci was about to say, but looking at He Yining's expression, he dared not to say anything and winked at Tian En, "Mom, don't be angry. We'll just listen to you."

In fact, her schedule in the evening was still empty so that she could find another part-time job. In this way, there would be about three to four thousand a month. If she worked harder, she believed that she could get them into school soon.

She delivered newspapers in the morning and helped in the stall in the afternoon. After a whole day's heavy work, He Yining felt very tired. She had to get up tomorrow early and finish newspaper delivery as fast as possible so that she would not be late. It was rare that others didn't care about her background and provide a job for her, for which she had already been satisfied.

Therefore, when Jiang Ming returned to the newspaper the next day and found He Yining had already arrived early and sent the newspaper out, he was even more impressed by this girl seemingly in her 20s. Having hired so many employees before, he had never seen anyone as diligent as her. His view was so good that he hired a woman working even harder than a man. Even a man like him was ashamed in front of her.

He Yining finished her newspaper delivery half an hour earlier today than yesterday, so that she could go to the food stall more punctually.

"Director Jiang, can I leave earlier since I have delivered the newspaper? In the future, I may have to finish and leave as early as today, can I?" She asked cautiously, wondering if the newspaper would give her the part-time job. Forced by life, she now felt it not enough with two jobs.

Jiang Ming pushed his big black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose with a hand, and nodded. "No problem, Yining. Settle down in your job, and I will report to our president later. You may get a bonus."

He Yining immediately thanked him. Leaving the newspaper office in a good mood, she found some free time and decided to try to look for another job nearby.

With people coming and going on the street, everyone is in a hurry passing by. She wondered if she could suddenly meet her parents on the street one day.

Thinking of her parents, she felt a bit anxious in her heart. When the He family went bankrupt, the once-glamorous He family became destitute overnight. Could her parents live on?

Unconsciously, she followed the crowd to the Peninsula Hotel. At present, the Peninsula Hotel was more luxurious than six years ago. She sighed softly, feeling that people like her would not be qualified to walk in again.

As she was about to turn around and leave, a notice posted on the gate attracted her – Piano Player Wanted?

It had been six years since she touched the keyboard, but she believed she wouldn't forget even if she hadn't played for ten years. Thinking of the two children, she sorted out her clothes and walked in resolutely. If not successful, she would just be teased. But iff it was successful, they would be one step closer to going school.

"Hello, Mr. Security, is here recruiting a piano played?"

The security guard looked at her shabby look and frowned, doubting people like her could play the piano?

Seeing the security guard snobbery look, He Yining knew he must be doubting her now. What's the matter? Can't anyone play the piano in shabby clothes?

Although she thought like this in her heart, He Yining still made a nice smile on her face, "Mr. Security, I really need this job. Could you please tell me?"

Sometimes even He Yining hated herself, but forced by life, she had to be double-dealing.

"Turning in there, it's the first room on the right hand. It's our western restaurant recruiting a piano played, but I advise you not to go in and be ashamed." The security guard thought she must be ashamed to go in like this; why go in for humiliation?

"I'm not afraid of being ashamed, thank you..." He Yining was still very polite. How could it be a shame? The most embarrassing thing and the least dignified thing, for more than five years in prison, she had done for countless times.

He Yining followed the direction of the security guard and quickly found it. There were several girls standing outside, all of them wearing heavy makeup, miniskirts, charming pants; but the piano sound inside made her feel very confident. She swore she could absolutely play a hundred times better than that.

"At your level, how dare you come to apply for a piano player at the Peninsula Hotel? Next one."

The speaking woman seemed to be about forty. At her age, she still retained her graceful bearing. Hearing her roaring, the girls standing in front of He Yining began to whisper.

"What should I do? I thought it was just performing. It's easiest to catch sugar daddy in such place."

"No, I heard before that this manager Yi is the most intractable. Alas, we are so unlucky today. And we are probably impossible to pass..."

Listening to the conversations of the previous girls, He Yining began to know why they were all dressing so sexy. But since she had come, she must take a try anyway.

"As soon as I see that woman, my feet become weak. I'd better leave now."

Only then did the girls in front find He Yining always standing behind them. "Oh my God, are you a cleaning lady? Don't be so close to me. Keep me off."

"People like her can only clean toilet at most. If she can be a piano player, the Peninsula Hotel must be downgraded."

Hearing their ridiculed and ironic words, she didn't pay much attention. Women like them who only knew about seducing sugar daddy and attracting men's attention would stain the soul of the piano.

Yi Suqiu came over, "Keep quiet! Are there any rules?" When she saw He Yining, she felt a little unbelievable. "You also came to apply for the piano player?"

He Yining nodded, "Yes, I hope you can give me a chance."

Probably Yi Suqiu had been so annoyed by those vulgar girls today that she was interested about the girl with a miserable and shabby appearance and gave her a try, "Well, have a try..."
