It was truly a stroke of luck for her.
"Young Miss."
Upon seeing Ji Zhixia return, the maid quickly put down her work and respectfully spoke.
Looking at them, a thought flashed through my mind, and I suddenly said, "You've worked hard."
"???" The maids were startled by her sudden concern.
They had worked for the Ji family for many years. You know, the eldest young lady had never been as understanding as the second young lady, and she had never cared about them. What happened today?
Ji Zhixia smiled and said, "You are all elders in our family. Thank you for your contributions to our family over the years."
The maids were flattered and quickly said, "It's our honor to work for the Ji family..."
Ji Zhixia smiled and nodded: "I'm giving you all the day off today. Tell each other, change your clothes and go home to spend time with your families. I'll count this as paid leave."
"???"
The maids hadn't even realized what was happening.
Seeing that they didn't move, Ji Zhixia's expression suddenly changed, and her tone abruptly shifted: "What? You don't want any of them?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" the maids exclaimed hastily, then belatedly realized they were overjoyed. "Thank you, Miss!"
"Thank you, Miss!" everyone said in unison.
"Hmm." Ji Zhixia was finally satisfied, raising her chin slightly, adopting a superior posture.
"Go change your clothes, and remember to turn off the main power switch before you leave. I'm just coming back to pick up some things; I need to go back to work later. My mom and Aunt Min aren't home, and Grandpa's out too. If I leave soon, there won't be anyone at home, and with so many appliances running, I'm worried something might happen."
Ji Zhixia's reasoning left no room for doubt, and the maid nodded repeatedly: "We understand, Miss."
Ji Zhixia then went upstairs to her room.
The maids informed each other, went back to change clothes, packed their things, turned off the main power switch for the Ji family, and left only after confirming that everything was alright.
Hearing that there was no sound outside, Ji Zhixia slowly opened her bedroom door and peeked out.
She looked around and made sure no one was there before she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She glanced again at the direction of the surveillance camera at the end of the corridor. Aunt Min had mentioned before that the surveillance cameras in the house were always on, which was why Ji Zhixia was extra vigilant.
She had the maid turn off the main power switch, her real purpose being to disable the surveillance cameras.
After confirming that everything was in order, she left the room and tiptoed toward the old man's room.
The old man didn't have his own separate study, so any important things were definitely in his own room.
Grandpa Ji didn't have the habit of locking the door, so Ji Zhixia opened the door and went in without any trouble.
A bedroom of about 20 square meters, not big but not small either.
Because it was for an elderly person, the decoration was very simple. Mr. Ji didn't like anything fancy, so apart from a large bed, there were only essential furniture like a table and cabinets.
Ji Zhixia went inside and immediately began searching.
Because she sneaked in, she had to be careful not to damage the original appearance in order to avoid being discovered by the old man.
They searched through all the drawers and cabinets on the old man's desk, but found nothing suspicious except for books and a change of clothes.
Unable to find what she wanted, Ji Zhixia was so anxious that she scratched her head and pulled her hair hard, feeling extremely frustrated.
