When Yang Jing came to the manor with Tom Nitz yesterday, he did not go in to take a closer look. In fact, this kind of ancient manor, especially the one that has been managed by the oldest family in the United States, makes no difference whether you go in to see it or not.

The manor was built by Alfred, the leader of the DuPont family's "Three Brothers of Rejuvenation". Even though it was some distance away from the DuPont family's home, the DuPont family would never watch it decline. The maintenance was extremely careful. Even if it cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to maintain the manor, the DuPont family would definitely stick with it.

This is not about money, but about the face of an ancient family.

This kind of ancient family property can be sold to the outside, but it can never be allowed to decline.

Sure enough, Yang Jing's judgment was correct. Even though the manor had not been inhabited for a long time, it was still well maintained. Apart from anything else, just the butler and seven servants standing at the door to welcome Yang Jing and Robert, Yang Jing knew that the manor must be well maintained.

Led by the butler named Alex Seldon, Yang Jing took a general tour of the manor.

The manor was really well maintained, but the places where the valuable decorations should have been placed were mostly empty. It was obvious that the DuPont family was not having a good time now, otherwise the manor that Alfred had spent a lot of money to decorate would not have been emptied of all the valuable decorations by his descendants and sold for cash.

Eventually, even the seventy-year-old manor house was sold to raise cash.

To use an old Chinese saying, this is a typical case of the son selling his father's land!

However, Yang Jing was very satisfied with this manor. Although the main building of this manor had a history of seventy years and its exterior walls were mottled, the interior was very well maintained. Yang Jing didn't even have to clean it up. He just had to sign his name on the documents and transfer the money to the DuPont family, then he could sleep in this main building tonight.

After walking around the main building, the group returned to the lobby on the first floor.

"Mr. Smith, the bedding in all the rooms here is new, and the kitchen utensils are also new. If you need, you can hold a dinner here immediately and stay here at night." The butler Shedon had a very obvious West London accent, which sounded very familiar to Yang Jing. After all, the Royal Holloway College where he studied abroad was in West London.

British butlers are known as the best butlers in the world, especially those from West London, who are the best among them. This is recognized by the whole world. Butlers from an old family like the Dupont family are naturally not good at fooling around, so it is not surprising that Seldon is in charge of the daily affairs of this manor.

Yang Jing smiled slightly and said to Butler Seldon in a standard West London accent: "Alex, thank you very much for everything you have done here. I think, if you are willing, you can continue to stay here and take care of this beautiful manor for me."

Yang Jing's standard West London accent immediately made Butler Shedon look surprised. It was obvious that he felt Yang Jing's painstaking efforts.

Steward Shedon is already over sixty years old. No matter from his age or his professionalism, he deserves Yang Jing to use a respectful title. Moreover, such an ancient manor would be perfect to be managed by an old steward like Shedon, so Yang Jing made the invitation.

However, although it was a surprise, Yang Jing's invitation still made Xie Dun hesitate slightly, and he did not give a positive response to Yang Jing's invitation.

Butlers from London all have strong personalities. Their career is usually lifelong or even hereditary. That is to say, if a grandfather is a good butler all his life, then his son, grandson, and great-grandson will even become an excellent butler.

These hereditary butlers are loyal, considerate, and always put the interests of their master first, so these butler families are usually the favorite butlers of the world's wealthy people.

Although Yang Jing didn't know how long Xie Dun had served this manor, he thought it must have been quite a long time. Even his father or grandfather might have been serving in this manor.

Robert Dupont said, "Alex, I think you should accept Mr. Smith's invitation. Your grandfather came here at my grandfather's invitation to manage this estate for my grandfather. Later, your father and you have been here. I really don't want you to leave here at this age."

Robert's words made Butler Shedon hesitate again. He looked up at Yang Jing and found that Yang Jing's eyes were full of honesty and hope. So he thought for a while and said sincerely: "Sir, since you really need me to continue to manage this manor for you, then it would be my honor. You can rest assured to hand over this manor to old Shedon. I will definitely manage it well for you."

"That's great, Alex. I'm really honored that you agree to continue to manage this manor for me. I think it's the best outcome for you to continue to manage this manor." Yang Jing said sincerely, and then he said very affirmatively: "From now on, including you, the salary of all service staff in this manor will be doubled."

Nothing can make people happier than this sentence. Shedon is also a human being and he has to live in the world, so Yang Jing's words "double the salary" are the best affirmation for the old butler.
