"Baron, how are you thinking?" Catherine stroked her skirt and sat down opposite Chen Xing.
"This..." Chen Xing was a little embarrassed to say it. After all, he had just taken advantage of others and pocketed the most shining star in the academy.
Seeing that Chen Xing was inconvenient to speak, Jian Yue Canglian took a step forward and said, "Given that our opponent has a special status and may possess a variety of precious instruments, we need additional help from the academy."
Perhaps because she was used to seeing the maids she trained with their arms turned outward, Catherine's expression remained normal and she asked, "What help do you need?"
"Two divine craftsman-level small psychic shield activators, both pendant and belt buckle types are available, three royal family special extreme healing needles, two sets of abyssal silk combat uniforms, one master-level magic weapon, long and short... …”
Listening to Jian Yue Canglian's request, Catherine's eyes gradually widened. I've probably seen people with their arms turned outwards, but I've never seen people turn their arms so completely. They simply turned their backs on each other and didn't miss anyone at all.
"Ahem..." Catherine coughed lightly, took a deep breath, and asked, "Jianyue-san, are you going to vacate your parents' home?"
"If possible." Jian Yue Canglian met the dean's eyes.
"Is this how you give back to your teacher?" Catherine raised her gold-rimmed glasses, a cold light flashing in her eyes.
"I still have to remember what you said in the school assembly on the first day of school. You said that safeguarding the interests of the master is a virtue that every palace maid must practice." Jian Yue Canglian looked directly into Catherine's eyes, "Mr. Students dare not forget his teachings.”
The two looked at each other tit for tat, sparks flying wherever their eyes collided. Chen Xing sat leisurely, waiting for the outcome of the struggle. Finally, Catherine withdrew her gaze and sighed, "You are such a good student of mine!"
There was unspeakable resentment in his tone, as if he was regretful and heartbroken.
"The craftsman level is impossible." When she raised her eyes again, Catherine regained her composure, "The craftsman level can be considered."
Valuable items are generally divided into four levels: craftsman level, master craftsman level, master craftsman level, and divine craftsman level.
"No, at least the craftsman-level one is good." "It's good to give you the craftsman-level one. It's not like you don't know how much a small psychic shield activator costs." "My master has a high status and uses the craftsman-level one. Items are beneath his dignity." "Your master is just a little baron, it's good if he can use it, what else do you care about decency!"
The two began to bargain, and the verbal exchanges were very sharp.
"How dare you insult my master, I will kill you!" "How dare you, the person standing in front of you is the dean who trained you until now." "That is already in the past tense, pedantic old woman, standing in front of you now I am the maid of the great Baron Chen Xing." "What did you say, I am an old woman? How dare you say it again!"
The situation is getting worse and worse, and it is already moving in the direction of taking action. Chen Xing drank the black tea brought by the receptionist and leaned to the side to avoid being hurt.
But she is worthy of being a well-educated court lady. Even when the situation is tense, her etiquette is still impeccable.
"Master craftsman level, this is our final bottom line!" "One master craftsman level, one master craftsman level." "Deal!"
After a heated argument, the first item was agreed upon, followed by more than ten items. Chen Xinghe, the receptionist, left the dean's office quietly, walked in the atrium garden, and went to the Crystal Palace to observe the maids studying.
"If you can go to the next level and obtain the title of Viscount, you can have two palace maids at the same time." The reception teacher said.
"What's the highest number?" Chen Xing asked.
"One baronet, two viscounts, seven earls, thirty-one marquises, three hundred and sixty-five dukes, one thousand and one grand dukes and kings."
"Sounds good..."
The two wandered around for several hours, and when they returned to the dean's office, the negotiation had come to an end.
"The things will be delivered tomorrow." "Thank you, Mr. Dean." "You are really an excellent student." "Thank you, Mr. Dean, for your cultivation."
The two women were smiling and extremely polite. For the first time, Chen Xing felt that doing things that were different from what he meant could be done so naturally, so seamlessly and naturally.
After the negotiation, Chen Xing left the academy with Jian Yue Canglian and returned to the Deer Hunter Hotel.
"Ding!"
The hotel's elevator stopped at the seventy-fifth floor, and the elevator door slowly opened, revealing a long passage.
Each floor has space for only eight manor suites, each with its own two elevators. The waiter pressed the door button and watched the two people walk out one after another. Lao K and two maids, neatly dressed, stood at the door to greet him. As early as the moment Chen Xing entered the hotel door, the front desk staff had already informed his housekeeper.
Seeing Jian Yue Canglian behind Chen Xing, the two maids felt their eyes turn white, as if they were stung by strong light, and they lowered their heads involuntarily, avoiding each other's gaze.
Jian Yue Canglian is such a woman, with a tall and straight figure and a handsome eyebrow, like an unsheathed sword, her sharp edge is exposed, which can easily make people feel ashamed of themselves.
The first time he saw her, even Chen Xing couldn't resist her, let alone these two girls from lower class backgrounds. Lao K was calm, but his eyes lit up for a moment, then he looked away and opened the door for Chen Xing.
"This is the new maid, Jian Yue Canglian." Chen Xing introduced to everyone in the living room.
"Oh my god, boss, there are so many beauties around you." Xiao Yang couldn't help but say.
"Our leader is young, promising and charming, as he should be." Lao Ji took the opportunity to flatter him.
"Hello everyone, I am Jian Yue Cang Lian. Please give me your advice in the future." After saying that, Jian Yue Cang Lian saluted everyone in turn. His movements were precise and serious.
Everyone also returned the gift, so they knew each other.
"Li Mei." "Yes." "You arrange..." Chen Xing was about to ask Li Mei to arrange Jian Yue Canglian's room, but found that the other party did not bring any luggage.
"Didn't you bring anything with you?" Chen Xing asked strangely. According to Jian Yue Canglian's character, it was impossible for him to be so confused that he forgot to bring anything.
"Aside from the clothes and weapons on her body, the palace maid has no personal belongings." Jian Yue Canglian replied.
Ye Qian and Li Mei looked at each other with unclear meaning in their eyes.
Chen Xing raised his black watch and wanted to spend some money to buy daily necessities for Jian Yue Canglian, but found that the transfer failed.
[The person you transfer to is your palace maid, who shares a common fund account with you, and you cannot transfer to yourself]
[Tip: Please adjust the amount of fund usage permissions in the maid interface]
Chen Xing couldn't help but secretly sigh that the palace maid was the product of taking the subordination relationship to the extreme. In order to completely eliminate selfishness, she didn't even have a private account. Then bring up the palace maid's interface and enter the number of gold coins in the "Funds Transfer" column.
[You have authorized the use of Yue Canglian for a total of 5,000 gold coins]
"Master, if financial conditions permit, please authorize me to have a larger amount. I need to purchase evolutionary potions to break through the guard-level strength." After receiving the funding authorization, Jian Yue Cang Lian not only did not express gratitude, but also made further demands.
"Let's slow down for a while." Chen Xing rejected the proposal. Not to mention that she had just joined, even if she could feel completely at ease, what would others think? Maybe the male subordinates were better off, but Ye Qian and Li Mei would definitely feel it was unfair.
The key to management is balance. Only a bowl of water that is balanced can convince everyone, so before Jian Yue Cang Lian has made enough achievements, even if he is willing in his heart, he cannot take too much care. This will not easily arouse the jealousy of other subordinates.
The "seven deadly sins" are the driving force for human progress, and the "sin of jealousy" is the most social one among them. If you want to manage well, you must understand human nature, otherwise it will only be a matter of time before everyone becomes disloyal.
"Understood." Jian Yue Canglian responded, and then requested, "Master, please allow me to take charge of today's dinner."
Chen Xing also wanted to see the level of haute cuisine, so he agreed. That night, Miyue Canglian cooked and prepared a sumptuous Japanese-style dinner, including sushi, sashimi, hand rolls, eel fried rice, udon noodles, soy sauce soup, etc. Ye Qian and Li Mei started fighting naturally and were surprised by Jian Yue Canglian's cooking skills.
Before she started eating, the cook came to the table sobbing, wiping her eyes with her kitchen skirt, and asked Chen Xing if he wanted to fire her. This cook was brought over by him from the Orchid Town Water Station, and her name is "Tisi". She came here when the water station was first established. She can cook both Eastern and Western continental dishes. She has been in charge of the third team. Canteen.
Chen Xing was quite satisfied with Aunt Tisi's cooking skills, otherwise he wouldn't have brought her here, so he comforted her, "She only cooks occasionally, and you are the most professional." Then he rewarded her with five gold coins. Aunt Tisi finally broke her tears into a smile, thanked her, and retreated to the kitchen.
After dinner, Chen Xing brought Jian Yue Canglian into the study and asked about her life experience alone.
"My father opened the Tianya Dojo in the eastern suburbs of the city..."
Jian Yue Canglian told Chen Xing everything about her family and her original intention of becoming a maid.
Miyuki Cangren's father, Miyuki Tsushima, runs a small gym in the eastern suburbs of Ice Blue City, teaching the ancestral sword technique "Tenya Itto Ryu" to nearby residents. The Taoist temple is also passed down from ancestors and has a history of more than 200 years.
When Jian Yue Canglian was seven years old, her mother fell ill and died, and her father married another woman. In order not to embarrass her father and to repair the dilapidated gymnasium, Jian Yue Canglian left home and participated in the academy's selection and won the first place in the selection that year.
Chen Xing checked the historical results on the maid interface, and found that every subject was "excellent, excellent, excellent, excellent, excellent...", a perfect top student.
"Do you need to go home and take a look?" Chen Xing asked.
"If Master wants to go, he can do it at any time." Jian Yue Canglian said. What she meant was that she didn't want to go back, but if Chen Xing wanted to go, she would go with him.
Chen Xing felt that it was still necessary. Knowing the basics was the first factor to ensure loyalty. However, we were about to deal with Wei Qinghai, and we couldn't spare the time, so we had to postpone it.
"Are we going to have a dedication ceremony tonight?" Jian Yue Canglian asked.
"Well, let's wait until the matter is settled..." Chen Xing quickly refused. Although he is not a gentleman, he is really not in a romantic mood when facing a powerful enemy.
