Chapter 405: Settling Down II

"Looking for a residence?" Manager Zhang mentally calculated several suitable properties,

yet her pleasant face remained calm, still wearing that professional smile as she spoke to Cai'er.

Cai'er gently toyed with the teacup in her hand, her eyes revealing a hint of pickiness and expectation: "First, the location is flexible; it need not be in the bustling parts of the city.

The point is that it cannot be too noisy; it must possess a charm of tranquility and distance.

Furthermore, the layout of the residence must be reasonable; it must be spacious and bright, yet winding and orderly, so as to display a touch of elegance.

Finally, the four courtyards and eight houses, the main hall, side courtyards, and study must all be complete."

Upon hearing this, Manager Zhang already had some calculations in mind, but her expression became even more respectful: "What you say is very true, Madam, but such a residence is likely difficult to find.

However, please rest assured, I will certainly do my utmost to find a residence that is to your satisfaction."

Cai'er nodded slightly, seemingly quite satisfied with Manager Zhang's attitude: "That is very good.

Also, the flowers and trees in the residence are key; the women of the household have always loved flowers, especially peonies, crabapples, and the like.

If there could be a sea of flowers, that would be even better."

"The women of the household? A sea of flowers?" Manager Zhang pondered to herself; she was indeed from a great family, and such demands were truly not low.

But if she could satisfy them, the Madam would surely be greatly pleased, and she herself could obtain quite a few benefits from it.

As if she had seen through Manager Zhang's thoughts, Cai'er lifted her chin toward her personal maid.

The maid understood and took two gold leaves from her person, handing them to Manager Zhang.

Seeing the gold leaves, Manager Zhang's eyes lit up: "Rest assured, Madam, I will certainly pay attention to the flowers and trees in the residence; I will definitely not let you down."

Manager Zhang made solemn promises with her mouth while her hands quietly accepted the gold leaves.

Cai'er smiled lightly, seemingly quite pleased with Manager Zhang's commitment: "That is good.

You may go now; if there is a suitable residence, come and report back quickly.

If it is suitable, let us settle it today!"

After Cai'er finished speaking, she picked up her teacup and took a small sip of tea.

Manager Zhang was very perceptive; she bowed and retreated from Cai'er's private room.

As soon as she stepped out, she hurriedly instructed the servants under her: "Quickly, go and dig out all the information on residences in the city that have good locations, four courtyards and eight houses, reasonable layouts, and lush flowers and trees.

I will screen them first; I must find a residence that will satisfy the Madam!"

The servants heard this and left one after another to carry out the order.

Manager Zhang touched the gold leaves in her hand and sighed to herself: "Truly a wealthy family; they are so generous."

Manager Zhang also understood that such a residence would not be easy to find and would require a great deal of time and energy.

But regardless, she had already made up her mind that she must complete this task, and the sooner, the better.

This was a rare big client; if she could build a connection for the future, that would be incredible.

Watching the backs of her subordinates as they left, Manager Zhang looked at her own assets, which she couldn't see past her own feet.

"Hmph, such a fine young woman, I wonder which stinking man will benefit from her!!

But, she doesn't seem to compare to that Madam; it's truly infuriating!!"

Then, with a sway of her hips, she went to find someone to arrange matters.

Inside the private room.

The group of maids, who had been solemn in front of Manager Zhang, began to whisper to each other.

Cai'er, who had been dignified, also let out a soft breath and patted her own chest: "Sigh, I finally understand why the Master asked me to do this; this posturing is so tiring."

Xu Miao giggled and patted Cai'er's chest: "Stop patting, that is the Master's treasure."

Zhao Wei also sat down and looked at Cai'er, saying: "The Master's arrangement is correct! Miao Miao and I are both Martial Artists; we might be okay with wielding swords and blades, but if we really had to hold up airs to negotiate these merchant matters, it would be hard to say what the result would be. Cai'er, whether our future home is comfortable or not all depends on you."

Cai'er hurriedly waved her hands and said: "Don't, you saying that puts even more pressure on me."

Xu Miao laughed: "What of it? Didn't the Master say that this trip is entirely up to you to decide? We truly cannot handle these trivial matters; the two of us are only responsible for ensuring your safety. If something really happens, don't panic, we are both here!!! To use the Master's words, this is called professional people doing professional things, each performing their own duties!"

Seeing Zhao Wei, who was the Head of the Family, nodding slightly, Cai'er felt much more relaxed.

In the Cheng Mansion, in terms of status and background, Cai'er knew she certainly could not compare.

But fortunately, the Master was sentimental, and the distribution of household affairs was extremely reasonable.

He even shared some unconventional concepts with her in private.

Which benefited her greatly.

Later, as there were more women in the household, the Master could not look after everything.

Yet, Cai'er still firmly remembered some things in her heart.

After all, seeing a Martial Artist of the Bone Refining Realm, who was usually surrounded by crowds, by her side,

and even becoming her sister, without the slightest sense of incongruity.

Cai'er could only attribute all of this to the credit of her own man.

Thinking of this, a flash of determination crossed Cai'er's eyes.

"Then, I must also pull myself together."

Thinking of the key points and techniques for doing things that the Master had taught her before, Cai'er was very satisfied with her own performance.

"At least, Manager Zhang, who took the gold leaves, should work very hard!"

Cai'er was also secretly pondering that she had only been out for half a day, and she had already encountered some of the methodologies for doing things that the Master had taught her.

Do not panic when encountering matters, regardless of the cause,

take half a step back first, and treat others with sincerity.

First have the broad-mindedness to embrace the world,

then have the thunderous means to respond.

Just like the matter regarding Heimu Bai,

Use money to pave the way, and embrace them with gentleness,

enforce strict requirements, and address them with firmness,

with both approaches used together, the matter can be accomplished.

Facing the performance of Steward Zhang,

then next, it was time for her to show her own.

"Come on, Cai'er, you can do it."

Cai'er secretly cheered herself on.
