Seeing how all the other servants in the hall were already done with their parts, the head butler’s eyes swept over Xia Qing’s party: ” Where is Jenny?”
Jenny was the other maid assigned to greet the guest.
Ye He faintly remembered Su Lingling whispering something to her before walking towards him, as Su Lingling answered the butler’s question:
“She heard that master likes fresh roses and went to pick few up.”
The word “rose” was also included in the taboo.
Su Lingling didn’t know what it meant and made up lies to deceive Jenny. Saying that as long as she can pick the fresh roses, she’ll be able to win the new owner’s favor and would be able to change her status from that of a maid.
Jenny, who was already hesitant to own her identity, was tempted by the prospect of becoming a hostess.
The housekeeper’s expression changed: “Where does the master like it? This is obviously…”
Seeming to think of something, he hesitated: “Forget it, the three of you get ready.”
Neither Xia Qing nor Su Lingling showed any signs of abnormality, nor did they ask the housekeeper any questions, but responded calmly.
Ye He’s mind was full of doubts: “Why does the butler seem to be sure that Jenny can’t come back?”
The brain of the system starts to move fast: [This…]
Before system could figure out how to fool Ye He over, he heard Ye He thoughtfully say, “Could it be the charming eyes of flowers and plants?”
The system was decisive: [Yes. Flowers are extremely intoxicating.]
Ye He nodded, believing the explanation of system.
Seeing the doors of escape, system secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The butler began to nag. Telling them to serve the host and guest well and to remember that slackers would be punished.
Ye He wanted to pay close attention, but who could have predicted that Xia Qing’s sharp gaze would be peircing his body every few seconds?
Discreetly glancing at Su Lingling, who was standing on the other side of him, Ye He realized –-it seems that Xia Qing is trying to look at Su Lingling, but is blocked by me.
Recalling how Xia Qing looked so furious that hitting someone was just a moment’s call, Ye He snickered in his heart.
Turns out that this dog’s first spring has brought him to a loss for the person he likes.
But Ye He also felt regretful and wanted to apologize to Su Lingling but didn’t know how.
Sound of a car engine suddenly came from outside the door.
Xia Qing and Su Lingling’s bodies tightened instantly. Both looked towards the door subconsciously, while Ye He’s attention was on the housekeeper.
The butler’s always solemn face finally cracked a faint smile, but it was as stiff as wearing a smiling mask, and there were hints of nervousness on closer inspection.
With this extraordinarily strange smile, he hurried forward and opened the heavy door.
Xia Qing and others followed.
Ye He ran behind the housekeeper and said, “This master must be fierce, otherwise the housekeeper wouldn’t be this afraid.”
System: [ Host has great deduction skills. Host should keep this up.]
If every question of Ye He could be digested internally this way, it would also save the effort to conceal the parts not said.
Ye He, who was suddenly praised by the system, nodded without arrogance or rashness.
A long luxury car parked outside the door. The driver hurriedly exited the car to open the back doors.
The butler was a step late and stood stiffly on the side.
The young man who got out of the car first was slender and tall, with long golden hair that rested like silk on his shoulders. He wore a black coat. His skin was as white as jade. His thin lips were slightly raised, painting a gentle smile.
The moment he saw the blond youth, Ye He’s ears suddenly rang with the inorganic voice of the system:
[Extra task: Greet the host and guest to earn 72,000 yuan of excellence after receiving their satisfactory evaluation. Staff incentives included.]
Ye He was a little disappointed. He thought that extra quests would drop a lot of money: “Only 72,000 yuan…”
Full payment of 72,000 yuan can only be exchanged for half a day’s life.
[Friendly reminder, your life span is only 20 hours and 43 minutes. ]
In other words, Ye He must get their affirmations before his life span hits zero.
Ye He rolled up his sleeves with determination: “I am willing to rush into battle to bag the title of an outstanding employee. They can get out of the car and step on me. As long as the host and guest give me a satisfactory evaluation, they can even use my mortal body as rug!”
System:【……】
With money as an incentive, Ye He took the lead.
Xia Qing and Su Lingling were taken aback by Ye He’s reaction. When Xia Qing saw Ye He speeding over, he subconsciously reached out to stop him, but was too late and could only watch as Ye He stepped between the housekeeper and the car.
The head butler, who wanted to come forward to show his courtesy but was interrupted by Ye He, looked at Ye He’s back bitterly. As if he was about to pierce the opponent with a sharp eye knife.
Noticing that the blond youth was a little slow, Ye He quickly extended his hand to assist him: “You…”
Hearing the sound, the blonde youth turned to face Ye He’s direction. As their gazes met, Ye He was stunned.
Those emerald green eyes were dead silent, like dusty gems.
