Xu Shu was confident that Director Wang would be willing to help with this, as their current cooperation was going quite smoothly.
Director Wang certainly wouldn't refuse such a small favor. After all, Li Xiurong wouldn't be taking up a formal staff position, so the Neighborhood Office wouldn't need to pay her a salary. For the Neighborhood Office, this was essentially gaining an unpaid worker, and it allowed them to do a favor for Xu Shu—why wouldn't they agree?
Of course, Xu Shu wasn't a complete fool; he was paying for Li Xiurong to work out of his own pocket. His purpose in doing so was simply to ensure his mother had something to occupy her time, rather than sitting around the courtyard all day with nothing to do. It would help her integrate into her current life faster and allow for more interaction with the people around her, making her life more fulfilling and interesting. If Li Xiurong didn't want to work, that would be perfectly fine too; Xu Shu respected his mother’s wishes and would let her live her life as she pleased.
