"When you go in, remember to say hello to the elders. Be humble, humble, and humble again. Try to talk less and smile more."
Zhu Si, with a serious face and well-dressed, gave Zhu Nan many instructions.
He adjusted his collar very carefully and patiently brushed his shirt with his hands to ensure that not a speck of dust remained on the surface.
Zhu Nan nodded rapidly, looking around with a pair of big eyes full of expectation.
The last time I came to this place was when I was in junior high school.
This vast manor, which is so large that its boundaries are invisible, is the exclusive residence of all successive heads of the Zhu family.
The current head of the family is Zhu Min, who is also his third uncle.
My father, who always keeps a low profile in the outside world, always praises my third uncle for his ability and calls him the greatest head of the family in the past hundred years.
A few days ago, my family received an invitation letter from my third uncle.
Therefore, after many years, Zhu Nan stepped into this place again.
I heard from my father that this magnificent building in front of us is a place specially used for hosting Zhu family banquets.
Several thick marble pillars stand, supporting the luxurious gate.
Several members of the Zhu family's Black Sun team, armed to the teeth and equipped with the most advanced equipment today, were guarding the door, always on guard.
"Come in."
Zhu Si walked forward with his wife and Zhu Nan, with a smile on his face that never changed day after day.
The Black Sun team member guarding the door held the machine gun on his chest with one hand and stretched out the other hand to signal Zhu Si to stop.
Several members of the Black Sun team came forward, bowed respectfully to Zhu Si and the others, and then began to search them.
Of course, the Black Sun team member responsible for searching Zhu Si's wife was a female.
Silently waiting for the members of the Black Sun Team to finish searching behind him, Zhu Si nodded slightly to them and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Fourth Master, please!"
The leading member of the Black Sun team made way for him and gestured for Zhu Si to come in.
Soon after, several young and beautiful receptionists in smart professional attire ran out of the building and welcomed Zhu Si's family in.
"Wow~"
As soon as he walked in, Zhu Nan was attracted by the luxurious and magnificent decoration inside the building and couldn't help but exclaim.
Zhu Si glanced at Zhu Nan out of the corner of his eye, and Zhu Nan, understanding what he meant, immediately covered his mouth with both hands.
"Dad, my stomach hurts..." Zhu Nan smiled bitterly and whispered softly to Zhu Si beside him.
Although Zhu Si still had that standard smile on his face, Zhu Nan could clearly feel the chill beneath his smile.
"Master, I'll take you to the bathroom."
"please!"
The young receptionist was very perceptive. He put on a gentle smile and made a respectful gesture of invitation.
Zhu Si waved to Zhu Nan: "Go quickly, your mother and I will go in first."
"good."
After nodding in agreement, Zhu Nan followed the pace of the beautiful reception.
Looking at the exquisitely laid out atrium on the way, I couldn't help but admire it.
The walls were carved with classical scrolls, pavilions, towers, flowers, birds, insects and fish...things he had never seen before.
The floor is covered with soft wool carpet, which feels as comfortable as walking on clouds.
A huge photo was hung on a golden wall. In the photo was my third uncle Zhu Min, who was dressed in a black suit and looked dignified and solemn.
Occasionally, a maid passing by would stop and bow 90 degrees to Zhu Nan, and would not continue walking until he walked a few steps away.
A pair of sneaky eyes looked around, and Zhu Nan couldn't help but have some evil thoughts in his mind.
Zhu Nan walked to the receptionist in small steps, covered his mouth with one hand and asked in a low voice: "Sister, will we be discovered if we take the things in here?"
The receptionist kept smiling and replied calmly:
"No, Master. The third steward comes every night to check and investigate immediately if anything is missing."
"Is it that serious? I'm almost penniless. Just give me a painting to sell. And what does... the third butler mean?" Zhu Nan asked doubtfully.
"In addition to Butler Tian, each area in the manor has its own butler. Among the ten butlers, the third butler is responsible for all affairs in this area."
"Oh~" Zhu Nan nodded to show that he understood.
Still unwilling to give up, he whispered to the receptionist:
"I stole a painting secretly... I guess Third Uncle wouldn't blame me, right? Or maybe the Third Butler would turn a blind eye, right?"
The receptionist who was leading the way suddenly stopped, turned around and asked with a smile: "Which painting do you want, young master?"
Zhu Nan rolled his eyes slyly and pointed behind him: "Hey, sister. How much do you think my uncle's photo can sell for?"
"kindness?"
There was a question mark on the receptionist's face and the smile gradually disappeared.
Zhu Nan shrugged nonchalantly: "I was just joking~"
The receptionist was speechless for a while, cursing Zhu Nan in his heart for asking for death, but he still put on a smile again: "The bathroom is at the end of the corridor."
After that, he stood to one side with his hands folded on his belly and said to Zhu Nan: "You go by yourself, I'll wait for you here."
"good..."
Zhu Nan walked into the corridor and quickened his pace. He looked at the end and frowned: "Oh, why is a bathroom hidden so deep? Did the designer get kicked in the head by a donkey?"
Walking into the men's restroom, Zhu Nan observed the layout and couldn't help but snorted: "Tsk, I thought the restroom was so high-end, but it looks like it's just like the restroom in an ordinary shopping mall."
After opening the last door, Zhu Nan took off his pants without saying a word and sat on the fully automatic toilet.
He held the phone with both hands and started exerting force.
"Well, do you want to remove this toilet?"
"Forget it, how much can a broken toilet be worth?" The next second Zhu Nan rejected this stupid idea.
"Master! Young Master! Are you in there?"
A soft call was heard from outside, and it sounded like the voice of a middle-aged uncle.
"Who's looking for me?" Zhu Nan was about to respond when he heard another voice coming from outside.
"Shut up and come in."
The voice sounded much younger.
"Yes, yes! I don't have much time now, young master. The head of the family will be here soon." The middle-aged man's voice was humble.
"That's great. Do you want me to tell him what good things you have done?"
"Are you the one who hooked up with the old maid in the manor to secretly obtain information?" the young man said in a calm voice.
The middle-aged man immediately defended himself: "Oh, you are really joking. What kind of information can a poor maid get from the Zhu family..."
"What about the private deals with the Han family?"
"Ah! I...Young master, please forgive me this time!" With a thud, the middle-aged man knelt on the ground and grabbed the young man's trouser legs and begged for mercy.
