Disliked by everyone? She is clearly the most beloved one in the rich family!

After seeing Meng Yingnian off, Meng Shi returned to the yard.

Yu Zhi found an outlet in the living room to charge his phone and sat on the Eight Immortals Chair, neither looking around nor walking around, like a guest visiting the host's home.

At first glance, Meng Shi almost had an attack of his occupational disease and subconsciously wanted to ask someone to serve him tea.

Meng Shi walked over, racking his brains to think of what to say to Yu Zhi.

The second young master's wife spoke even less than the second young master, and had a cold and indifferent look. All she did was serve the master, and in front of such a master, she was completely useless.

I'm worried, really worried.

Yu Zhi noticed Meng Shi and spoke first: "Meng Shi."

"Hey."

"Second Young Master Madam, please speak."

Meng Shiying looked like a man who had been waiting for rain after a long drought, as if he was going to use all his strength to complete the task he was asked to do next.

The Yu family also had servants, but they were just hired workers who did what they were paid to do. In addition, with Wang Jiamin's secret instructions, they ordered him around, and he was not even shown respect, let alone being served.

This was the first time Yu Zhi met someone as dedicated as Meng Shi.

One was longing for rain after a long drought, and the other was flattered. The master and the servant looked at each other in silence for several seconds.

"cough."

Yu Zhi clenched his fists and placed them against his lips, coughing twice. He wasn't used to acting like a master, so he asked as if he were talking to someone normally: "I saw a desk in the east wing. Is that a study?"

Meng Shi replied, "No, the Second Young Master's study is the locked room on the west side."

Speaking of locking, Meng Shi was afraid that Yu Zhi would be suspicious, so he added, "The Second Young Master's study has many confidential business documents. No one except the cleaning staff is allowed to enter. The door is locked when he is not at home."

Yu Zhi nodded, indicating that he understood, but this was not what he meant to ask. He changed the subject again: "Can I use the east wing?"

At first, Yu Chengkun only had his mobile phone confiscated. Later, Yu Jia discovered that he also had a tablet and said that he could still use the tablet to contact the outside world. Yu Chengkun had the tablet taken away as well, and did not even leave him the charger.

In fact, Yu Jiagao underestimated him. Even if he could contact the outside world, he would not be able to find anyone to save him.

He was just using a tablet to draw up a list of commissions, two of which were due this week.

Today is Monday, and he has got his tablet phone back, so he has to hurry up and finish the manuscript.

There is a coffee table in the bedroom and a round table on the balcony outside, both of which are places where one can sit down and draw, but Meng Yingnian is not there, and he doesn't want to stay where he sleeps, as he feels uncomfortable.

Meng Shi couldn't help laughing, feeling a little helpless about Yu Zhi's politeness.

"Of course, Madam Second Young Master, this is your yard now, there's no need to be so formal."

"it is good."

Yu Zhidang listened to the polite words but didn't take them to heart.

He got up, unplugged the charger, went back to the bedroom to get the tablet, and headed to the east wing.

Meng Shi followed him all the way.

After entering the room, Yu Zhi found that there was only one socket in the corner near the desk.

The charger is limited in length, so if he wants to charge and draw at the same time, he can only lie on the ground.

Yu Zhi looked up and asked Meng Shi, "Is there a power strip?"

Meng Shi had just turned on the air conditioner and was closing the wooden window when he heard Yu Zhiwen. He put down his work and replied, "Yes, yes. I'll get it right away. Please wait."

Within two minutes, Meng Shi came back with a power strip.

With a power strip, charging was no problem. Yu Zhi pulled out the armchair in front of the desk and sat down, saying to Meng Shi, "Thank you. I'm fine here, you can go ahead and do your work."

"You're welcome, Madam Second Young Master." Meng Shi pulled his phone out of his pocket, clicked on the WeChat QR code, and handed it to Yu Zhi. "This is my WeChat. Madam, please add me. It's convenient for you to contact me if you need anything."

"it is good."

After exchanging WeChat and mobile phone numbers, Meng Shi put away his phone and shouted to the outside of the door. A man who was also wearing a new Chinese Tang suit walked in, but he was a young guy with a healthy wheat-colored skin and a clever look in his eyes.

It turns out that this Tang suit is the Meng family's work uniform. Yu Zhixin thought.

Meng Shi introduced Yu Zhi: "Second Young Master Madam, this is the steward of the Second Young Master's courtyard, Deng Yang. He is only responsible for the affairs of the Second Young Master's courtyard and is in the courtyard every day. If you have any questions, you can also find him. It is more convenient than finding me."

Deng Yang nodded slightly to Yu Zhi and said respectfully, "Hello, Madam Second Young Master, I am Deng Yang."

Meng Shi: "There are fifteen people in the courtyard, including the chef and Deng Yang. Since the others are not important people, I won't let them take up your time. We can still see each other in the future. In short, Madam, please stay in the courtyard and tell us if you need anything."

There are fifteen people serving in just one courtyard, and there is also a housekeeper and a chef who are solely responsible for this courtyard...

Yu Zhi couldn't imagine how many servants there were in the entire mansion.

A prominent family, the richest man in northern Beijing, these eight words took on a concrete weight in Yu Zhi's heart at this moment.

The Meng family's immense wealth is truly well-earned. No wonder the Meng family gave Yu Chengkun the exorbitant price of 500 million.

Only in the eyes of people like them would five hundred million be considered an exorbitant price. From this perspective, he is actually not worth much.

Yu Zhiyou was so absurd by his own thoughts that he thought he was really irritated and had played a joke on his own hell.

He collected his thoughts and replied to Meng Shi with a "OK".

Meng Shi left after giving his instructions.

Yu Zhi glanced at Deng Yang, lowered his head and said, "You can go and get busy too. I'm fine here."

As he said this, he opened Procreate with his pencil and started working.

"it is good."

Deng Yang left quietly and prepared tea and snacks as he usually did when serving Meng Yingnian, and brought them to Yu Zhi.

They had all received pre-job training, and when they entered the house to serve tea, they made very little noise and would never disturb the host's work. Yu Zhi only realized that Deng Yang had come in again when he saw him out of the corner of his eye.

Deng Yang put down the snacks and was about to leave when he noticed Yu Zhi's gaze. He lowered his head and said in panic, "I'm sorry, Madam Second Young Master, I disturbed you."

Yu Zhi didn't expect that a single look could make people panic, so he explained, "No, you didn't disturb me."

Deng Yang breathed a sigh of relief and extended his hand to indicate the snacks in front of him: "You just arrived today, and I don't know your taste yet. I just picked up two snacks that the kitchen prepared today. Please see if they suit your taste."

"If you don't like tea, there's coffee and juice."

Yu Zhi couldn't get used to such considerate service for a while, so he waved his hand and said, "I'm just drawing a picture, you don't have to be so considerate."

Deng Yang said: "This is what I should do."

Yu Zhi asked curiously, "How much salary does the Meng family pay you every month?"

Deng Yang did not hide anything and answered truthfully, reporting a number to Yu Zhi.

Yu Zhi was dumbfounded.

"I'm the leader in charge of the master's courtyard, and my salary is higher than other servants."

"How much do the other servants charge?"

Deng Yang reported another number.

Yu Zhi was dumbfounded again.

Seeing that he was interested, Deng Yang said more.

"Working at the Meng family is actually similar to working at the group, except that the Meng family uses a shift system, and night shifts and overtime are paid on an hourly basis."

"There are red envelopes and gifts during festivals, and year-end bonuses at the end of the year."

"The higher the position, the longer the paid annual leave. For example, the highest-ranking person here is the head butler, and Uncle Meng gets one month of paid annual leave every year. Even the lowest-ranking servant gets seven days of paid annual leave."

"The Meng family also arranges regular vocational skills training for employees every year, and employees who pass the relevant skills certificates will receive bonuses."

"As for benefits, there's an annual physical checkup, free food and accommodation, five social insurances and one housing fund... Oh, and if you buy a property in a Huachuang Group development, you'll get a discounted employee price."

After hearing this, Yu Zhi was silent for a long time.

"A conscientious enterprise." He commented sincerely.

Deng Yang smiled and said, "Yes, so you don't have to be polite to us, Madam. This is our job."

Yu Zhi said "hmm".

"Then you continue to be busy. Call me if you need anything."

"it is good."

Yu Zhi lowered his head to look at his drawing again, and compared it with the salary that Deng Yang told him, he felt that painting was not as good as being a servant.

Yu Zhi shook his head, put aside all distractions, and concentrated on drawing.

He sat there for the entire afternoon, and except for going to the bathroom, Yu Zhi never left the room.

When he finished work in the evening, Yu Zhi took the tea at hand and took a sip, only to realize that his tea had always been warm this afternoon and had never been cold.

Deng Yang didn't know how many times he had come in to change the tea for him.

To be fair, it feels really good to be taken care of in such a subtle and gentle way.

Yu Zhi had just closed his tablet and was unplugging the charger when Deng Yang came in.

"Second Young Master Madam, are you done?"

"Busy working."

Yu Zhi put away the charger and saw Deng Yang hesitating and looking embarrassed, so he took the initiative to ask: "What's the matter?"

"Well... isn't it dinner time? The master of the house sent someone to invite you to have dinner together..."

When Yu Zhi heard that he would have to dine at the same table with Meng Yingnian's parents, his expression changed.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Has Meng Yingnian returned home?"

Deng Yang was even more embarrassed: "No... Secretary Chen called to inform us that the Second Young Master has an appointment tonight and won't be home for dinner..."

Yu Zhi stopped talking, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Deng Yang secretly looked at Yu Zhi's face, which was extremely ugly, and he was almost sweating profusely.

Everyone in the Meng family knew that the second young master's wife said she married into the Meng family, but in fact, the Meng family spent 500 million to buy a young wife for the second young master.

These are things I bought. It’s okay to throw them away when I get tired of them.

In other words, the second young master himself valued it and personally told the head butler that the lady would be moving in today and that she would have to be taken care of more since she would not be used to the new life. Otherwise, everyone in the family would have been angry with the head and mistress of the house.

The second young master is currently out entertaining people, and the head of the family and the mistress asked the second young master's wife, who had just arrived, to have dinner alone. This is clearly a Hongmen Banquet!

Deng Yang, an outsider, could figure out all the twists and turns, let alone Yu Zhi, the person involved. Deng Yang sympathized with his situation from the bottom of his heart, but unfortunately he was just an employee and could do nothing about it.

Yu Zhi chuckled lightly, his face cold.

Deng Yang's scalp tingled, thinking Yu Zhi was going to get angry, but he just said, "I understand."

"I just arrived and don't know how to get to Director Meng's yard. Can you take me there?"

Deng Yang breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay."

Yu Zhi put down the charger, took only his cell phone, and followed Deng Yang out of the yard.

After walking for seven or eight minutes, we arrived at the courtyard where Meng Hengze and Zheng Yuanhui lived. This courtyard was not a flat courtyard, but a four-story, magnificent Chinese-style villa.

The restaurant was on the first floor. Deng Yang only sent Yu Zhi to the gate of the courtyard. After entering the courtyard, Meng Shi led him in.

Before entering the restaurant, Meng Shi whispered to Yu Zhi, "Second Young Master's Madam, the Second Young Master will make all the decisions for you. Don't argue with the Patriarch and the Mistress."

This is what makes him endure.

It seems that this really is the Hongmen Banquet.

Yu Zhi curled the corners of his lips and didn't respond to Meng Shi.

Seeing this, Meng Shi sighed quietly. This second young master's wife...is probably a tough one.

When he walked into the restaurant, Meng Hengze and Zheng Yuanhui were already there. Meng Hengze was sitting at the main seat and Zheng Yuanhui was sitting on his right. A table full of delicious dishes was also served, and it seemed that they were just waiting for him.

Yu Zhi stood by the dining table and politely called out, "Mr. Meng, Mrs. Meng."

He and Meng Yingnian have already obtained their marriage certificate and are legally husband and wife, but he is not naive enough to think that he has truly become a member of the Meng family just by having a red certificate. Naturally, he will not shamelessly change his words and call his parents the same as Meng Yingnian did.

Meng Yingnian told him not to belittle himself, saying that the word "merchant" was a blasphemy to their marriage, but what happened? He was left alone to eat this Hongmen Feast.

It’s better to say than to sing.

The Second Young Master will take care of everything for you.

What Meng Shi said also sounded ridiculous.

What the hell is he?

On one side is the wife who was bought, and she needs to have a relationship with you and a legitimate relationship with you.

On one side are your biological parents.

How stupid must he be to think that Meng Yingnian would choose him when faced with a choice between the two.

Meng Hengze ignored him. Zheng Yuanhui smiled at him and said, "Come on, sit down."

This is a rhythm of one person playing the good cop and the other playing the bad cop.

Zheng Yuanhui just looked friendly. If she was really friendly, she should have asked him to change his words after greeting him. Even if she didn't call him mother, she should have asked him to call her aunt.

Yu Zhixin was as clear as a mirror. She pulled out a chair and sat down opposite the two of them.

Although not as exaggerated as the rectangular table, the north and south seats at the large round table are also not far apart.

Without this table full of delicious food, it would have looked like an interrogation.

"Come on, let's eat. I don't know what you like, so I asked the kitchen to cook something." Zheng Yuanhui turned the table. "This squirrel fish is the specialty of the chef in the courtyard. You should try it."

"It's okay, I'm not picky about food." Yu Zhi picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks, tasted it, and said, "It's delicious. The chef's cooking skills are really good."

His praise was insincere. He didn't like any other sweet and sour dishes except spare ribs.

But this is what Yujia likes to eat. The meals at home are mostly sweet and sour. He has been eating them for more than ten years and is getting more and more tired of them every year.

Yu Zhi has a very handsome face, but most of the time, this stunning face has no expression and is very cold. Even if someone wants to praise someone, the words coming out of his mouth will sound so bland.

Moreover, facing this squirrel fish that he hated, Yu Zhi's praise was not really intentional. He just accepted the elder's apparent good intention and praised him accordingly.

The scene, which was not hot to begin with, suddenly became even colder.

Meng Hengze snorted coldly and couldn't help but attack Yu Zhi: "I really don't know what your parents taught you. The elders haven't even started eating yet, but you're the first one to start eating."

Yu Zhi held the chopsticks and looked up at Meng Hengze.

"I didn't teach him much. My mom died early, and my dad didn't die, but he might as well have. It wasn't my intention to offend Mr. Meng, but then again..."

Yu Zhi smiled slightly, but there was no smile at all, which seemed more like a mockery in the eyes of others.

"Didn't your wife tell me to pick up the chopsticks? Is Mr. Meng's accusation a veiled attack? He's saying I have no manners, but he's actually talking about your wife..."

"Bang" sound!

Yu Zhi didn't tell the whole story on purpose, and Meng Hengze was really irritated by him. He slammed the dining table, which shook and even the warm chicken soup in the casserole spilled out.

Meng Hengze shouted fiercely: "Yu Zhi!"

"Do you think that just because you got married to Yingnian, you're a member of the Meng family? You're so presumptuous in front of your elders. I wasn't wrong about you. You and your family are really the same kind of people, a bunch of unpresentable people!"
