Bind to the collection system, I became a national treasure

"Are you sure? Where can I buy it?"

Bai Xi's voice of surprise and joy sounded in the car. She didn't expect to get the news so soon. She originally thought she would have to wait until the third day.

All I can say is that China Merchants Bank’s connections and information are indeed well-informed, and it deserves to be in the first tier besides the six state-owned banks.

"It's quite a coincidence. The day after tomorrow, Sotheby's, a top international auction house, will hold a charity auction in Shanghai. The theme of the auction is jade carvings. We used some connections to get the auction brochure in advance and confirmed that three jade pots will be included in the auction. Two of them are quite valuable: a Ruyi jade teapot from the Qianlong period and a handle pot from the Jiaqing period. However, you may need to confirm in person whether they meet your requirements."

Xu Zhiwen's gentle and magnetic voice came from the microphone, and it was obvious that he had done his homework.

"I want to attend this auction. Do you have any requirements?"

"Our bank has prepared an invitation letter for you. If you need it, I can send it to you tomorrow morning."

Bai Xi nodded with satisfaction. No wonder he was chosen to be a private banking assistant. He was indeed reliable.

"Well, please send it to me tomorrow at noon. I have something to do tomorrow morning."

Bai Xi thought about it and decided that there were still a few housekeepers to be interviewed tomorrow morning, so it would be better to arrange it for noon.

After hearing that Xu Zhiwen agreed, Bai Xi hung up the phone, navigated to a nearby restaurant, had a simple meal, and drove back to Tan Palace.

After returning to the villa, she asked her counselor for another week's leave. Liu Xiaojuan agreed very readily. She probably thought that people who could live in Tan Palace actually went to school to experience life and did not care about GPA at all.

After a busy day today, buying a car and shopping for clothes, Bai Xi was a little tired. After asking for leave, he threw his things in the room, took a shower, and went straight to bed.

......

Early the next morning.

Lin Chongshan led a group of housekeepers to wait outside the villa. Bai Xi walked out sleepily to open the door, but was startled by the scene at the door.

There were five butlers in formal attire standing in front of her, three men and two women. When they saw her come out, all of them bowed slightly. Among them were British-style gentleman uncles, handsome young men, and meticulous sisters. They all had one thing in common, that is, they behaved very elegantly, and their every move was in line with her imagination of the image of a butler.

"Uh...why don't you guys come in first?"

Bai Xi was a little embarrassed, after all, she had no experience in this area before.

"No need, Miss Bai, we'll wait outside. Whoever's interviewed will go in."

Lin Chongshan saw Bai Xi's embarrassment, took the initiative to help her out, and began to arrange an interview for her.

Bai Xi nodded to him gratefully and decided to give him a big red envelope later. He had been busy with her affairs in recent days.

After a round of interviews, Bai Xi decided to keep the British-looking uncle. His name was Ma Jieke, who was older than her father. He had been working as a butler for more than 40 years. He had been working for Forbes tycoons abroad, but returned to China as he grew older and missed his homeland.

Bai Xi offered him an annual salary of nearly one million according to his salary requirements abroad. This salary obviously exceeded Ma Jie's expectations. After all, the domestic housekeeper industry is not that developed yet. Not to mention one million, even 500,000 is already the top salary.

The uncle immediately had an expression of "a gentleman will die for his friend" on his face, and he patted his chest to promise that he would set up a complete service team within a week, otherwise he would voluntarily reduce his salary by half. Bai Xi could only accept his military order with a helpless smile, gave him a budget of two million per year and sent him to recruit soldiers.

After deciding on the candidate for the housekeeper, Bai Xi also transferred a red envelope of about 100,000 yuan to Lin Chongshan, but Lin Chongshan quickly waved his hand to refuse.

"No, no, Miss Bai, serving you is our purpose. If the company finds out about this, I'll be punished."

"This is what you deserve. I've been bothering you these past few days. So, here's a little hard work pay. I'm treating my colleagues who have come to help me these past few days to a cup of tea."

"Well, alright. I'll thank you on their behalf then."

At Bai Xi's insistence, Lin Chongshan accepted the two red envelopes, and the smile on his face seemed much more sincere.

After seeing Lin Chongshan off, Bai Xi was just about to go home and take a nap.

"Miss Bai, please stay."

"Ah you are?"

A familiar magnetic voice sounded in her ears. Bai Xi turned around and saw a boy in uniform jogging towards her.

The boy has a handsome face and his hair is simply styled. With his formal suit and scholarly air, he is exactly the image of a handsome intellectual as described in the book.

The boy took three steps in front of Bai Xi, maintaining a perfect social distance, and took a deep breath.

"Ms. Bai, this is Xu Zhiwen. I spoke to you on the phone yesterday."

"Oh, I know, but didn't we meet at noon? Why are you here so early?"

"Our bank president sent me out a long time ago and told me to wait until you were free."

Xu Zhiwen showed a trace of helplessness on his face and spread his hands towards her.

"So you've been waiting at the door this whole time? Your president is exaggerating."

Bai Xi covered his forehead with his hands, a little speechless, but unexpectedly Xu Zhiwen shook his head and handed him an invitation letter with both hands.

"No, it's my duty. It's my honor to serve you. Here's the invitation you requested."

"Okay, oh, by the way, I have another question. Are there any formalities for attending the auction? Do I need to wear a formal dress or something?"

Bai Xi took the invitation, stared at his uniform as if he remembered something, and asked another question.

"Well, that shouldn't be necessary, since you're attending a charity auction, not a charity dinner. While you're still required to wear something formal, a formal dress shouldn't be necessary."

Xu Zhiwen heard her question and said after thinking for a moment.

"That's fine. Looks like I don't need to buy a special dress."

"Then Miss Bai, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

Bai Xi nodded, and with her approval, Xu Zhiwen left the villa.

The young man is graceful in the sunshine. The uniform does not look cheap on him but makes his posture more upright. I wonder whose white moonlight he is.

Unfortunately, I only want to complete tasks and earn money now. I am no longer in the age of being obsessed with girls. Otherwise, this cunning and treacherous man’s beauty trap might really succeed.

Bai Xi smiled and walked back to his room to catch up on his sleep.

......

“What a nice smell…what’s that smell…”

Bai Xi slept until the afternoon and was woken up by hunger. When he woke up, he smelled the smell of food coming from outside.

She opened the door curiously and found that it was Ma Jieke who was cooking, with an aunt helping him. There was also an aunt cleaning the villa in the living room. The empty villa suddenly became more lively.

"Miss Bai, are you awake? The food will be ready soon.

We're in a rush today, so we've only hired grocery shoppers and cleaning ladies, but haven't hired a chef yet. We'll have to trouble you to make do for now."

When Ma Jieke found that she was awake, he hurried to the bottom of the stairs and bowed slightly to her in the British etiquette.

"That's great. I'm hungry. Uncle Ma, can we eat now?"

"Of course, I'll go clear the table, you can come down later."

Bai Xi nodded, went back to her room, changed her clothes and went downstairs. She finally had her first home-cooked meal two days after moving into the villa.
