The male protagonist of a sweet romance novel went on a killing spree in the world of angst novels.

This manor, standing atop Lingyun Mountain, is ridiculously large.

As Yanting walked along, she felt as if she were in the luxurious palace.

Tan Yi, who was standing to the side, let out a soft hiss in amazement.

Because of her status, she was someone who had seen a lot of the world, but she rarely saw anything like this.

"Miss Yan, Miss Tan." The butler was very respectful, bowing his head and saying, "The restaurant is just ahead."

Yan Ting nodded, seemingly oblivious to the furtive glances from the servants and nannies in the corridor. Her demeanor remained calm and composed, showing no trace of vulgarity or panic.

All that remains is nobility and elegance.

Only after they had walked away did the servants begin to whisper among themselves, "Which one is the new mistress?"

"It's Miss Yan, the one wearing a cheongsam."

"She's so beautiful, like a fairy from heaven."

“She and Mr. Chen are a perfect match.”

These servants were all selected through a rigorous process to work at this manor.

Because the estate is so large, it requires a lot of staff, including servants, nannies, cooks, and security guards.

Mr. Chen rarely returns to Yating, and this time, having finally come back, everyone is putting in their best effort to showcase their abilities.

After all, Mr. Chen was a generous person in their eyes. Anyone who had been praised by him would be rewarded with 100,000 yuan by the housekeeper.

Therefore, it was only natural that Yanting and her best friend Tanyi became the targets of their flattery.

Yan Ting was naturally unaware of what the people behind her were thinking. Not long ago, when she was in her bedroom on the second floor, she was truly startled by the people here.

At that moment, the door was pushed open, and seven or eight maids filed in.

They each carried clothes, jewelry, skincare products, and cosmetics, saying they were there to help her dress up.

Yanting paused for a moment, then said to them, "No need for that." She had never been a pampered person since childhood.

At times, she even lived a rather rough life.

To everyone's surprise, the maids whispered, "This is our job."

Yanting was both amused and exasperated: "I have hands and feet, you can leave your things there, I'll put them on myself later."

However, one of the maids calmly looked at her and said, "Our salary is 100,000 yuan a month."

"……"How many?

Yanting thought he was hallucinating.

She looked at the maid braiding her hair in the dressing mirror and asked uncertainly, "Does everyone get 100,000?"

The maid nodded: "Yes."

"Therefore, we must adhere to our job responsibilities."

Even the slightest slackness would be a disservice to this salary and benefits.

Yan Ting: "..."

This is simply outrageously extravagant.

The restaurant's layout was even more luxurious than Yanting had imagined.

The butler introduced everything one by one: "Although we don't know what the two young ladies' tastes are like, Fengchun Hall has both Chinese and Western food, including noodles, rice noodles, hot pot, buffet, barbecue, desserts and drinks.

"We have both spicy and mild options, it all depends on your taste."

Yan Ting nodded and said politely, "Thank you."

The butler forced a smile onto his usually stern face: "You're welcome."

This person was personally carried in by Master Chen, so naturally he had to be extra attentive and hospitable.

After looking around, Tan Yi sighed, "That night I thought he was just pretending to be rich, but I never expected him to be genuinely wealthy."

Recalling that night, Yanting couldn't help but chuckle: "It wasn't that exaggerated."

But it's likely that they could make several million in a second.

1 hours later.

"Uncle Butler." At the dining table, Yanting called out to the butler who was giving instructions to the chefs.

"What are your orders, Miss Yan?"

"Where is Mr. Chen?" Yanting asked.

The butler replied, "Mr. Chen is currently in the conference room on the sixth floor."

Yanting nodded.

It turns out he was busy with work.

The butler suddenly spoke up: "Miss Yan."

"Hmm?" Yanting looked at the butler with a puzzled expression. "Is there something you need?"

"Well, it's like this, our Master Chen has a bad habit. Once he gets busy with work, he forgets to eat. I'm worried about his health, so I was wondering if Miss Yan could bring us some meals later." The butler lied without batting an eye.

Yan Ting frowned. "He's working. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to go in and disturb him?"

The butler said confidently, "No, Master Chen has a very good temper."

"..." Are you sure Chen Xiao has a good temper?

However, upon closer reflection, although Chen Xiao sometimes spoke in a somewhat cheeky manner in front of her, he was mostly gentle and considerate.

Tan Yi was perceptive. She glanced at Yan Ting, who looked somewhat hesitant, and said, "It's alright, Tingting, you go ahead. I'll be fine here by myself."

The main castle building has six floors.

The sixth floor is the office area, and no one is allowed to go up there without permission.

"Miss Yan, this is the elevator, which goes to the sixth floor," the maid instructed.

"Thank you."

Yan Ting carried the food box and walked into the elevator alone.

In the conference room.

Only Chen Xiao was seated at the conference table.

Several men in suits stood behind him.

A very large projection screen was hanging in front of the table, and the image on the screen was clearly that of a conference room.

However, compared to the number of people in this meeting room, the meeting room over there had more than a dozen people sitting in it.

"Chen Meng." The moment they saw Chen Xiao's figure, everyone on the screen stood up and respectfully called out.

Chen Xiao twirled his pen and nodded: "Sit."

Bai Zhi was the first to speak: "Chen Meng, should we continue bidding for the land in Hong Kong? It seems the Yan family is also bidding for this land."

Upon hearing that it was the Yan family, Chen Xiao clasped his hands together, his eyes darkening slightly as he stared at the screen: "Raise the bid and win the bid."

Chen Xiao rarely spoke during the meeting.

He listened to the back-and-forth discussion on the other end of the line, a lazy air about him in his arrogant eyes.

"Chen Meng, Changlong is simply going too far. They stole the new technology that our scientists worked so hard to develop."

Of course, this isn't entirely Changlong's fault.

After all, it's impossible to guard against a traitor within the organization.

Bai Zhi frowned and said, "It's because you didn't do a good job of keeping secrets."

Chen Xiao took off his pen cap and listened to a long list of financial statements across from him. He casually sketched a few lines on the white paper with his pen.

After a long pause, he said calmly, "What is the Ministry of Justice doing?"

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone fell silent.

They knew Chen Xiao's temperament well; the calmer he appeared, the more serious the consequences would actually be.

suddenly.

dong dong dong-

It's a knock on the door.

Chen Xiao frowned.

His tone was somewhat impatient: "Who?"

There was a moment of silence at the doorway.

"It's me." A clear and pleasant voice rang out.

It was Yanting's voice.

In an instant, Chen Xiao's furrowed brows relaxed. "Come in."

There was not a trace of the impatience he had shown before.
