The American who was selling the house was anxious to return home for a promotion, so he did not bother much about the price and went about completing the house handover procedures happily.

Zhang Dongliang's new residence needed to be cleaned up before he could move in, so Julia warmly invited him to move to her villa temporarily until his villa was cleaned up.

Zhang Dongliang declined Julia's suggestion.

Although the relationship between the two has undergone substantial changes, Zhang Dongliang still hopes that he can maintain a certain degree of independence.

A scumbag never hangs himself on a tree, let alone an American.

Julia didn't force it, it was more relaxed and natural to get along like a friend. Both of them were career-oriented people, and it was impossible for them to stick together all day long for these things.

Julia just hoped that Zhang Dongliang could come over more often when he was not busy. Zhang Dongliang felt that this request could be fully met.

After this progress with Julia, Zhang Dongliang has been feeling much more refreshed recently. He no longer holds back on his anger and wants to kill anyone he sees.

Zhang Dongliang temporarily retained the service staff left behind by the Americans when they left, as he has no other candidates available now.

The butlers, Mr. and Mrs. Anthony, are an American couple in their 60s. After the Great Depression of 1929, they came to the Far East to work as butlers.

Over the past few years, they have become accustomed to the comfortable life in Shanghai and do not want to return to the United States.

"Mr. Anthony, you have been working as a housekeeper here. Don't you want to go back to the United States?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang. We already like this place. If Mr. Zhang allows us to continue working here, we will stay."

"This is my wife Emma." Anthony introduced his wife to Zhang Dongliang.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang." Emma also greeted Zhang Dongliang.

"Well, Mr. Anthony, if you want to continue to stay here, I welcome you to continue to be my housekeeper. I hope you can live happily here."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang. I will definitely perform my duties faithfully and provide you with all the services you need."

"Butler Anthony, there is something you need to do now."

"Please give your instructions, Mr. Zhang."

"This house needs to be renovated. Would you please help me do it? I will give you the construction plan."

"As you wish, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Dongliang kept the housekeeper as well. In this foreign settlement, having an American as a housekeeper made communication easier if anything happened.

Zhang Dongliang also has a house and a car in Shanghai. Although not as good as Feng Jingyao, it is much better than Xu Wenqiang.

After dealing with the house issue, the most urgent thing is to arrange for Zi Qiang to learn how to drive. We can't force him to drive himself for every trivial matter, right?

Especially things like picking people up, Zhang Dongliang didn't want to do it, unless it was picking up Julia.

What about picking up Feng Chengcheng? Well, it seems that he has to do this. He has to ensure the beautiful girl's transportation safety. Our Zhang Dongliang is a responsible man.

Zi Qiang is going to learn how to drive, and he needs someone to take his place, so today he has to meet the person he recommended. He was too busy to meet him in the past few days.

"Hey, I'm really busy. I'm such a hard-working person."

Zhang Dongliang is not at all stingy when it comes to praising himself. Praise and self-praise should be combined at all times.

As soon as Zhang Dongliang returned to Huangpu Pharmacy, he was stopped by Zi Qiang.

Zi Qiang pointed to a tall girl wearing glasses and introduced her to Zhang Dongliang: "Mr. Zhang, this is my cousin Guo Yanhong."

Zhang Dongliang looked at the girl.

The girl was tall, probably around 1 meters tall, which was very impressive in that era. She seemed to be much taller than Zi Qiang.

The girl looks quite elegant wearing glasses, and if she wears a white coat, she will definitely be the classic image of a hospital pharmacy in later generations.

Zhang Dongliang was quite satisfied with his first impression of this girl.

"This Miss Guo~~"

"Mr. Zhang, you can just call me Xiao Guo." Zhang Dongliang was interrupted by Guo Yanhong as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Okay, then~~Xiao Guo, has Zi Qiang told you everything?"

"Introduce them all to me, Mr. Zhang."

"Well, if you don't have any objections, just sign the paperwork and let Zi Qiang help you with the entry procedures and let him introduce you to the relevant matters in the job."

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, thank you for giving me this job opportunity."

"You're welcome. Working here is like being a family. If you have any difficulties, just tell me."

"Thank you Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Dongliang turned around and asked Zi Qiang: "Zi Qiang, do you like driving?"

"I like it, Mr. Zhang, but that's not something I can think about."

"Now you can think about it. I recently bought a car and you can learn how to drive. I have already made an appointment with Miss Julia. After you hand over to Xiao Guo, you can go to Julia to learn how to drive."

"Really? Mr. Zhang, thank you so much." Zi Qiang bowed to Zhang Dongliang repeatedly to express his gratitude.

Being able to drive is very popular these days and you won't have trouble finding a job. This is currently considered high-end talent.

After dealing with these matters, Zhang Dongliang returned to the second floor and breathed a sigh of relief: "I am really destined to be a hard worker."

Just when Zhang Dongliang was about to take a break, Zi Qiang came up and knocked on the door again.

"Mr. Zhang, there's a man at the door, saying he's delivering an invitation to you."

Damn, these things keep happening one after another. It really seems like it will never end.

The second floor is currently his living room. Before it is converted into a real office, Zhang Dongliang doesn't want anyone to come here.

"Forget it, just go down by yourself."

"Haiyi, Zhang-san, this is the invitation from Mrs. Yamaguchi."

As soon as Zhang Dongliang reached the first floor, a short clay man bowed to him and handed him an invitation with both hands.

Zhang Dongliang reached out and took the invitation.

"Mrs. Yamaguchi is holding a dinner party at her villa tomorrow night. Please be sure to come, Mr. Zhang."

"Okay, I understand. You can go back now."

"Zhang Sang, do you need a car to pick you up?"

"No, I have my own car."

"Hayi, got it. Mrs. Yamaguchi will be waiting for you tomorrow on time."

"Okay, go back."

Watching the bow-legged man walk away, Zhang Dongliang stroked his chin and thought for a long time.

The reason why Yamaguchi Kaori came to me was nothing more than the medicine. It was impossible for her to talk to the Americans. This was easy to handle.

But how can I get there tomorrow? It’s not convenient to drive there myself, and it’s not cool, but I feel embarrassed to ask Robert to drive.

Oh, I got it. My butler Anthony should be able to drive.

As a person who went bankrupt during the Great Depression, Anthony should theoretically be at least middle class, and should be able to drive, so he could be asked to make a temporary cameo appearance.

"Anthony, I want to ask, can you drive?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang. But I only drive Ford cars. I have never driven cars from other countries."

"Very good, Butler Anthony, I bought a Ford."

"That's no problem, Mr. Zhang."

"Butler Anthony, I have a banquet tomorrow and I can't find a driver right now. I hope you can help me make a temporary guest appearance tomorrow night."

"As you wish, Mr. Zhang."

"Well, Butler Anthony, here are the car keys. I'll leave the car here for you. Go pick me up at Huangpu Pharmacy tomorrow afternoon. That's it."
