"Oh, ten billion..."
Lin Jicheng waved his hand casually, and Lin Yi, as if on cue, instantly pulled out a black card, as if 10 billion was just a small number:
"You can swipe your card now!"
Alfred's probing gaze lingered on Lin Jicheng's face for a second. Faced with this extremely young girl and her enormous aura of casually throwing away nine hundred million, he didn't seem particularly surprised. Instead, his face showed a mixture of admiration and pride.
"Okay...you can pay by card here..."
Alfred respectfully placed the card reader on the machine, and with a "ding," billions of dollars were transferred away!
"Miss Lin, you are now the owner of this castle!"
Alfred's tone even carried a hint of excitement. Looking at Lin Jicheng, for some reason, he suppressed his excitement and bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle—
"Alfred, at your service!"
As he spoke, Alfred pointed to the annex building on the side of the castle:
"I usually live there. If you have any needs, please feel free to call me anytime!"
"So, the rumors are true after all?"
Lin Jicheng was somewhat curious:
"You are indeed not the owner of this castle. You are merely guarding it in place of the true owner!"
"So, do you have the final say on that deal we just made?"
"As for the true owner of this desolate castle... who exactly is he?"
“Miss is right… I am indeed just the butler of this castle. I live here to help the true owner of the castle manage all sorts of matters… Whether it’s sanitation, security, or maintenance, the castle has its own professional team. I am responsible for overseeing everything, managing all matters, big and small, inside and out…”
Alfred took a deep breath, his eyes filled with stories, as if recalling the long decades of the past:
“I very much hope to continue living in this castle, to stay with the castle I know so well. If Miss Lin is willing, I can continue to provide services here and handle all the affairs of Cangsen Castle for you…”
Lin Jicheng nodded, agreeing with Alfred's idea.
The Cangsen Castle covers an area of several thousand hectares, and there are many things to see. Although Lin Yi is also a housekeeper, she needs to accompany me to do things in China, so she can't take care of things abroad. It would be better to leave these things to Alfred, who is more familiar with things!
"As for the legality of the transaction... please rest assured, Miss!"
Alfred continued respectfully, "There is absolutely nothing wrong with etiquette:"
"I can guarantee that the legal procedures will be completed for you very quickly, and our transaction was absolutely legal and legitimate!"
"As for the true owner of this castle..."
Alfred smiled mysteriously:
"You are the master of Cangsen Castle, aren't you, Miss?"
"Swish-swish—"
Just as Alfred finished speaking, a gentle breeze swept through the forest, rustling countless leaves with a crisp, rhythmic sound. The breeze not only stirred the leaves, but also seemed to strike Lin Jicheng's heart with a powerful impact—
Lin Jicheng knew that Alfred was deliberately misinterpreting her question as "Who is the current owner of Cangsen Castle?" to avoid her real question, but for some reason, she didn't press the matter further.
Lin Jicheng had a hunch that the truth was shrouded in a thin veil; she could sense its presence, but couldn't reach out to lift it...
Lin Jicheng opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't ask any further questions. Alfred's lips still held a mysterious smile as he bowed deeply to Lin Jicheng.
"It's getting windy, Miss. Please come inside and rest... I'll take care of everything else from now on!"
Alfred acted like a meticulous and considerate super butler; seeing that Lin Jicheng had a long day, he proactively arranged a castle dinner—
Lin Jicheng sat at the end of the long table. The meat in the feast in front of him came from animals in the forest, the vegetables were grown in his own garden, and even the flowers used to set the table were picked from his own huge greenhouse. Alfred personally cooked and prepared a whole table of French-style dinner!
Alfred truly lived up to his reputation as an all-around butler. Although this dinner was French in style, it cleverly incorporated many Chinese elements, and the taste was absolutely delicious, far surpassing any Michelin-starred restaurant Lin Jicheng had ever eaten at before...
Longjing smoked pigeon, slow-cooked beef ribs, sweet rice wine and osmanthus soufflé... countless innovative ingredients were served one after another. Lin Jicheng chewed on the delicious meat ribs, drank the sweet wine, and looked at the castle he had just bought today. He felt a sense of comfort and familiarity, as if he had returned to his hometown.
After dinner, Lin Jicheng returned to the castle master bedroom on the roof of the central tower. The luxurious marble bathroom bathtub was already filled with hot water. Lin Jicheng soaked in it and could see the starry night sky, the tireless waterfall, and the tranquil forest lake in the distance. It was a natural beauty that was both dynamic and serene!
Soaking in hot water and enjoying the beautiful scenery, Lin Jicheng felt every pore on her body opening up and screaming for comfort, wishing she could just fall asleep right there!
"System, system, bring up those luxury manor information you compiled before and show them to me again..."
Lin Jicheng struggled to remain conscious:
"Help me up! I can still buy a few more estates!"
"Before school officially starts this week, I need to finish most of my 'Godly Rich Man' tasks as soon as possible... That way, once classes officially begin, I can focus my energy on my studies..."
[Received! The system is truly moved that the host is managing to balance being a super-rich person with continuing to work hard to complete their studies!]
The system appeared instantly, howling excitedly before displaying a long string of information in front of Lin Jicheng:
[If the host wishes to continue purchasing, this system recommends first buying a lavender farm in Provence and a nearby Bordeaux wine estate!]
[One reason is that both estates are located in France, meaning the host's journey there would be short, allowing for a quick transaction!]
[On the other hand, both estates come with their own industries—lavender essential oil and wine. Buying these two estates can serve as the starting point for the host's business in Europe!]
"That's right, this line of thinking is absolutely correct!"
When it came to spending money, Lin Jicheng became enthusiastic again:
"It's all arranged! I'll leave first thing tomorrow morning for the nearest lavender farm!"
"Lavender and wine... Here I come!"
