Chapter 77

The little zombie's appearance moved the pink rabbit housekeeper to tears. "My little zombie master is so young and already caring for others. How can he be so obedient?"

After covering Long Qi Che with the quilt, Xiao Zhuang ran out the door. Jiang Chen and Long's father were chatting enthusiastically in the living room downstairs, and it was not appropriate to disturb them.

He ran back to the room, and walked on tiptoe for fear of waking up Long Qi Che. He sat quietly by the window, playing with toys and drawing.

After playing for a while, Xiao Zhuang got tired. He rubbed his eyes and fell asleep on the small mat with Long Qi Che.

After finishing his chores, the pink rabbit housekeeper came up and saw the two cubs sleeping together with their heads touching. They looked so adorable that he quickly took photos and videos and would send them to their owner later.

Downstairs, Jiang Chen took Long's father to visit the house, and Long's father praised Jiang Chen's taste.

After touring the house, he wanted to go see the children. When he opened the door, he found that his son was sleeping so soundly in someone else's house.

"Xiao Che..." Father Long called a few times but failed to wake the child up.

"Let the children get some sleep first."

The two fathers carried their children to their cribs to sleep together. Seeing the babies sleeping so soundly, their expressions were filled with love.

As if infected by the sleepiness, the little zombie slept for as long as Long Qi Che did.

They didn't wake up until evening.

"Dad Long, why don't you stay for dinner?"

"You're so polite. My last name is Yan, so you can just call me Mo Ran from now on."

Yan Moran was secretly complaining in her heart. Ever since she married that guy Long Qiyou, people always called him Dad Long when she went out, and she always felt unhappy.

"Then why don't you stay for dinner, Mr. Yan?"

Yan Moran smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Jiang. The child's father is still waiting at home."

Although he felt uncomfortable, Yan Moran still put Long Qiyou in the most important position.

"It's strange that this kid likes Xiao Zhuang. He wants to come even though he's been away for just one day." Yan Moran held the sleeping Long Qi Che in his arms.

"Xiao Che is going to kindergarten tomorrow. He'll definitely be happy to see Xiao Zhuang again."

When leaving, Jiang Chen gave Yan Moran several antiques as souvenirs.

Yan Moran knew the weight of this thing and did not take it.

"It would be great if the children could move around more. My child doesn't like to talk and is a bit withdrawn. He's lucky to have a good friend like Xiao Jiang."

"Then Mr. Yan, bring your children over to play more often in the future. I will also bring Xiao Zhuang with me."

"Then Mr. Jiang, please contact me at any time. I'm ready."

When Long Qi Che woke up, he found himself at home. He didn't expect that he had slept all day after going to Xiao Jiang's house.

"When did I come back?"

"The young master has been back for thirty minutes."

"I actually slept the whole day? Doesn't that mean I didn't get to play with the little zombie?"

There was regret on the young face, but when he thought that he would see her again tomorrow, he felt less depressed.

In the evening, Jiang Chen was using a calculator in his study to sort out the household accounts. He was writing and drawing with a jade brush in one hand while fiddling with the calculator with the other.

The calculator in the terminal was much more convenient than the golden abacus he had used before.

During this period, he studied interstellar mathematics and mastered the algorithms quickly. He has mastered the basics, but he still needs to continue learning the advanced ones.

Building the house was extremely expensive, and he knew that Shu Jinye had secretly given him many discounts, and the subsequent maintenance would also be a staggering expense.

After carefully checking the bank deposits, it was found that it was far from enough to pay the final payment. The empty courtyards in the mansion also needed to be customized with furniture later.

The Jiang family has been a century-old family in Dongqi. They have made countless talented people marquises and appointed them as prime ministers, and the wealth they have accumulated is immeasurable.

Now he and Xiao Zhuang are orphans and widows. Even if there are countless burial objects, they will all be used up one day.

Jiang Chen was slowly drawing the furniture design, while thinking about their future livelihood.

"I should open some shops and make a living."

Pink Rabbit was confused as he listened to what Jiang Chen said. Sometimes he had to guess what he was doing. What was his livelihood?

"Master, are you planning to invest?"

"What is investment?" Jiang Chen's grasp of interstellar language was average.

“It’s about making money.”

Jiang Chen finally understood and nodded.

"Does the housekeeper have any good recommendations?"

Pink Rabbit screened through his database and immediately displayed the industries with the highest profits to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen's fingers tapped lightly on the pen, which was his usual action when thinking.

These industries seemed good, but after careful consideration, he found that they had actually been monopolized. If he blindly invested in them with no background, he would inevitably be set up.

The business world is like a battlefield where people are eaten without leaving any bones. He is also the queen of a country and is in charge of all matters in the harem. He is very clear about the twists and turns involved.

What he wanted was not to make money in other people's fish ponds, but a blank market. As a father, he had to pave the way for Xiao Zhuang so that he could have no worries about food and clothing in the future.

They had suffered too much in the past, and they don't have to suffer anymore in the future. Xiao Zhuang just needs to grow up healthily and become a man who stands tall and upright like a pine tree.

After careful consideration, we have decided that we cannot invest freely in the current situation.

"There's no rush for this. I'll think about it."

As the final payment was about to be made, Jiang Chen prepared to take out a few more antiques for auction.

He picked and chose in the cupboard, picking out a few things he disliked and taking them out.

An inkstone and a set of tea sets.

"Just these two."

Anyway, it belongs to Emperor Chen, and he doesn't like it. He would be reluctant to sell the things he likes.

"Master Butler, please scan these two items and estimate their price."

After learning that Jiang Chen had many antiques, Pink Rabbit even spent a large sum of money to upgrade his database and memory.

When he saw the upgrade fee, he was dumbfounded. It cost 30 million, a fee that only a gold medal robot butler could afford. They usually had an annual salary of tens of millions and served the super powerful.

He was just an ordinary robot butler. Although Jiang Chen had given him a high salary of 50,000 yuan a month, he had never had such a high salary before. However, after working for so many years, his meager salary was only enough for him to maintain himself. Every time he upgraded, he had to save money for a long time and spend it all, so he didn't have that much savings.

After Jiang Chen knew about it, he took the initiative to help him buy the upgrade package. Pink Rabbit was very grateful to Jiang Chen. He decided that Jiang Chen and Xiao Zhuang would be his only masters in this life.

The data package for antique appraisal was too large, and it took Pink Rabbit half a day just to upgrade it.

Now that he has the skill of antique identification, his worth has already surpassed that of an ordinary robot butler.

After scanning the inkstone and tea set on the table, Pink Rabbit made an offer, "Master, the minimum starting price for a single item is 300 million."

"good."

This price is similar to what Jiang Chen estimated. After deducting various expenses from the last sale of antiques, he made 700 to 800 million yuan.

Considering how crazy interstellar people are about antiques now, the final price should be doubled.

Xiao Zhuang sat on a small recliner nearby and read a book obediently. Usually, he was quiet and well-behaved when his father was working, and did not disturb him at all.

It was dark outside and soft lights were on in the house.

The gate of the mansion and each courtyard had not yet been inscribed with words, so Jiang Chen took up his pen and wrote the inscriptions on the customized rice paper and stamped them with his private seal.

There are 20 courtyards of various sizes in the house. Each courtyard has a garden, fish pond and waterside pavilion. In addition, there are 6 large gardens, a 50,000-square-meter back garden, 1 large lake and 3 small lakes. It is really a bit of a headache to come up with 20 names for the courtyards at once.

Thinking of the place where he used to live, Jiang Chen wrote it down directly according to his memory.

The courtyard he used to live in at the prime minister's residence was called Qingheyuan, so it would be better to use the same name now to save himself from too much trouble.

"Master Steward, send these to be made into plaques."

"OK."

Before the antique bag, Pink Rabbit had no idea what Jiang Chen was talking about. Now he completely understood what his master meant and the general style he wanted.

In the past, one housekeeper was enough for the small villa we lived in, but now there are so many things, big and small, that need to be taken care of, and one pink rabbit housekeeper is definitely not enough.

Jiang Chen spoke again: "Master Steward, now that we live in a larger area, I'm afraid we don't have enough staff. Please see what positions we need to add and arrange them."

When the pink rabbit heard his pink ears couldn't help but jump. Jiang Chen completely trusted him.

"From now on, your salary will be tripled, and you will be the chief steward of my house."

What a surprise! Pink Rabbit once again lamented his choice that day.

"Thank...thank you, Master."

"So... do the staff still need robots?"

"Yes." Jiang Chen said it clearly and straightforwardly.

The human heart is unpredictable, and the minds of robots are purer.

Although each robot has its own personality, Jiang Chen thinks they are all cute.

"From now on, you will be responsible for managing the internal affairs of the entire house."

"OK."

The pink rabbit transformed into the chief steward, and he was so happy.

For interstellar people, using robots is indeed worry-free. Just like gardening robots, as long as a fixed pattern for the four seasons is imported and each plant is equipped with a chip, there will be no mistakes when pruning, and the landscape of the courtyard can be maintained all the time.

After being given the power, Pink Rabbit happily prepared to recruit people.

Jiang Chen put down the brush in his hand.

The little zombie rushed towards him and asked for a hug.

"dad…"

"Little Zombie~"

Jiang Chen stared at the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone on the table. Xiao Jiang would be three years old in a few months. Now he couldn't write but could only draw. It was time to prepare to teach him how to write.

"Xiao Zhuang, do you want to learn to write from Daddy?"

"think."

"Okay, then after your third birthday, Daddy will teach you how to write."

"That's great." Xiao Zhuang patted his pink little hands.

On the other side, Pink Rabbit was preparing to recruit people in his room.

He picked and chose on the robot recruitment website and always felt that this one was not suitable and that one was not suitable.

*

Shu's house.

"Master, Mr. Jiang's housekeeper is browsing the recruitment website."

"Is his family hiring?"

"It seems so. Mr. Jiang's house is so big that he must need a lot of manpower."

Shu Jinye was distressed, "Why doesn't he come to me for help? I will definitely give him the best and most suitable person."

"Master, do you want to help secretly?"

Special Assistant Liu's words reminded Shu Jinye that if he sneaked in as a staff member, wouldn't he be able to see Jiang Chen every day?

Special Assistant Liu seemed to have guessed his thoughts, "Um... Young Master, you have to go to school during the day and take care of company matters at night."

Shu Jinye: “…”

Now he really hopes that he can just be an idle college student with plenty of time to waste.

"As for time, if you squeeze it in, you'll always have it."
