After Xiaonan finished speaking, she took Wang Tianding back to the guest room, leaving the other three wondering where to find someone who knew about renting a room.
"I've never rented a place before. I used to either live at home or in the factory. Do you two know anyone in that area?" Xue Huzi scratched his head. Tian Dai glanced at him. "How could we possibly know any landlords near the company where we live?"
“I’ll go ask Butler Xu; he knows a lot,” Yue Lanxing suggested. “Great idea! To be honest, don’t let Butler Xu’s short stature fool you; the way he looks at me is incredibly sharp,” Xue Huzi said.
And so, Yue Lanxing went to find Butler Xu. Before going, she went back to her room to retrieve the books she had been reading.
Li Qi spotted a man in a black suit from a distance. He walked with an impeccable posture and exuded an aura of dominance. Only when he got closer did he realize it was Yue Lanxing. "Hey, Brother Yue, what brings you here? Who are you looking for?"
Yue Lanxing looked at the person next to Li Qi and said, "I am Yue Lanxing. The young lady asked me to do some errands, and I would like to come and ask Steward Xu about some things. Could you please ask her for me?"
The person next to him nodded, turned around, and went inside.
“I came to see Butler Xu. Shouldn’t you be with the young master? What are you doing here?” Yue Lanxing then looked at Li Qi. Li Qi looked to the side and then moved closer. “I’m here to help the young master apply for a loan. The young master is currently making investments but doesn’t have the initial capital.”
"So I wanted to ask the master for money, but he kept avoiding me. So he asked me to come and check on things from time to time. My job is easy." Li Qi shook his head, probably feeling that such an easy job was not good.
"Steward Xu, Yue Lanxing has come. She says she wants to help the young lady with some things and has come to ask Steward Xu for advice." The servant reported to Steward Xu.
"Oh? Let him in." Butler Xu had a deep impression of Yue Lanxing and remembered his intelligence. The young man quickly ran out to tell Yue Lanxing, and when Yue Lanxing saw the man come out, he said to Li Qi, "Let's talk when he comes out. I'll go in first."
"Alright, I'll wait for you at that pavilion over there." Li Qi nodded and didn't wait any longer.
Yue Lanxing followed the young man to meet Steward Xu. "Greetings, Steward Xu." After saying that, she handed over the book in her hand. "I have finished reading this book, and I have the opportunity to return it to Steward Xu."
When Butler Xu saw that he had returned the book, he thought it was too profound, but he didn't expect that he had already finished reading it. "Finished reading it? Even people who only know a little English can't understand this book. How did you manage to read it?"
Hearing the doubts, Yue Lanxing didn't rush to explain. Instead, she picked up the book, randomly opened a page, and started reading a passage. Her pronunciation wasn't perfect English, but it was close. Apart from more pronounced pauses and a slower pace, there were no other problems.
Now it was Butler Xu's turn to be shocked. "Alright, alright, I know what level you're at. Didn't you drop out of school?"
"You're doing so well in your studies, I really don't believe you dropped out of school. You're really self-taught?" Butler Xu was very skeptical.
Yue Lanxing nodded firmly, "It's self-taught. I learned pronunciation from my sister's phonograph. As I told you before, I have a photographic memory."
"Oh, I remember now. You can take these two books and read them." Butler Xu looked at Yue Lanxing's humble expression and thought that geniuses always appear unexpectedly. It was a good thing to have him by the young lady's side, but his background still needed to be investigated further.
Butler Xu took two more books from the bookshelf and gave them to Yue Lanxing. "Take these books first. Now, tell me, what does Miss want you to do?"
"Miss asked me to find a landlord near the company so that it would be more convenient for her friend to rent a place. I'm not familiar with the buildings near the company, so I thought I'd come and ask you, the housekeeper, for advice." Yue Lanxing took the two books.
"Oh, this matter... Let me find the phone number. I haven't contacted him in a long time." Butler Xu walked to the side, opened a cabinet, and started rummaging through it, giving Yue Lanxing a chance to observe the room.
This room is on the first floor, but the space inside is the same size as the young lady's study. However, there is no room like this on the first floor of Villa No. 1. Is it because the design of each villa is different?
After finding the phone, Butler Xu sat back down, took out a piece of paper, wrote down the phone number and name, and handed it to Yue Lanxing.
"This is Fang Lao Er, he manages the land for the company. You can contact him. Also, please give him my regards. If he invites you to dinner, go ahead, but remember to settle the bill beforehand."
"By the way, you know, right? These kinds of personnel interactions are known to the masters, so you can use the official accounts. But if you try to contact the Xu family's connections to do your own thing, you'll be kicked out if you're found out."
Yue Lanxing nodded, knowing that Butler Xu was giving him a hint. "I know. It's my honor to serve Miss. How could I have any other thoughts? I'll go now."
After Yue Lanxing took his leave from Steward Xu, he saw Li Qi waving at him as soon as he came out.
"Hey, you just said that the young master is researching investments, why doesn't the master support him?" Yue Lanxing also came to the pavilion.
Li Qi had a lot to say about this. "They weren't even the young master's friends. They invited him to go to the movies, and he got interested in watching them and even met the people who made the movies."
"The young master became interested in this and wanted to invest in a movie himself, but he didn't have enough money, so he came to ask the master for some. When the master heard that he wanted to invest in a movie, he said that he was not studying proper business, and they even had a fight."
"So the young master doesn't want to come back and has been staying outside." Li Qi shrugged and sighed. "Sigh, if I had known it would be like this, I shouldn't have gotten agitated back then. The young master trusts me a lot now, so he entrusted this matter to me."
