Although another day had been wasted.
And someone had made a little extra money off him.
Xi Shenlian still got something he wanted the next morning.
It was an electronic tablet specially delivered by two men in suits.
"Lord Xi, this is the outstanding candidate list our company specially selected."
"Every candidate on it is one of the finest maids, attendants, and butlers in the entire Sakura District."
"Of course, as the price, their asking salaries are usually quite high..."
He paid little attention to their self-praise.
Xi Shenlian immediately began swiping across the tablet's screen.
The names, places of birth, ages, years of employment, educational backgrounds, and various skills of each candidate were clearly listed.
The desired salaries listed by the candidates themselves were also generally around ten times those of ordinary people, or even higher.
Their monthly salaries easily reached two or three million yen.
They were completely comparable to the middle and upper management of many small companies.
However.
Judging from the information, they were indeed worth those salaries.
Every one of them was multitalented.
Fluency in multiple languages and various management disciplines was merely the foundation.
Some even directly stated that they could beat up dozens of thugs barehanded.
Hiring them to manage household affairs was practically the same as hiring a bodyguard as well.
Of course.
Most importantly, they had style!
That point also happened to fit the attitudes and ideas of the wealthy quite well.
After flipping through the list a few times.
Several names quickly caught Xi Shenlian's attention.
Ye Qisao, Ye Qishi, Ye Qili.
Ye Qisao: 25 years old, female, holder of a diploma from Huai Shan Women's University in Tokyo City, currently pursuing a master's degree in financial management, with eighteen years of experience in the maid profession. Skills: professional-level driving, Martial Arts Rank certified at level four, advanced accountant certification, advanced Japanese Cuisine Chef certification, fluent in three foreign languages...
Ye Qishi: 23 years old, female, holder of a diploma from Huai Shan Women's University in Tokyo City, currently pursuing a master's degree, with sixteen years of experience in the maid profession. Skills: professional-level driving, Martial Arts Rank certified at level four, intermediate actuary certification, advanced pastry chef certification, advanced horticulture certification...
Ye Qili: 19 years old, female, currently attending Huai Shan Women's University in Tokyo City, with twelve years of experience in the maid profession. Skills: professional-level driving, Martial Arts Rank certified at level three, advanced nutritionist certification, advanced Japanese Cuisine Chef certification, intermediate accountant certification...
Looking at their beautiful faces, which bore a certain resemblance to one another.
Xi Shenlian immediately grew interested.
There was nothing he could do about it. He was purely an appearance person.
Although he was looking for proper maids to serve him, not special maids at a nightclub.
He truly found it difficult to accept a group of ugly people constantly wandering around in front of him.
Besides, the conditions the three had proposed were interesting as well.
The three of them would only accept being hired together!
In other words, the employer could only hire all three at once, not any one of them individually.
However, their desired salaries were by no means low.
Ye Qisao—5.2 million yen.
Ye Qishi—4.9 million yen.
Ye Qili—4.5 million yen.
Those figures were all monthly salaries.
That meant the minimum monthly salary would be 14.6 million yen.
Meanwhile, a relatively frugal ordinary citizen of the Eastern Ying Nation would generally work until old age and only manage to save around twenty million yen.
Therefore.
Their salary requirements were truly far from low!
They were completely equal to the combined wages of all the employees at many small companies!
However, Xi Shenlian obviously did not care about such a small amount of money.
With an interested attitude.
He casually tapped a few times and selected all three of them.
"These three."
After he handed the tablet to the representative from the agency, the other man tapped the tablet a few more times.
Then, looking at the information on it, he replied:
"Very well. These three ladies should arrive here within roughly two hours."
"At that time, you can have a conversation with them. If both sides find the arrangement suitable, you can sign the contract."
"Our contracts require a minimum term of one year, and a certain amount of deposit must also be paid..."
Xi Shenlian did not care much about any of that.
He merely listened quietly.
--
About an hour and a half later.
The intercom from the residential complex's security department rang.
"Mr. Xi Shen, there are three ladies wearing maid outfits who claim to be here to see you..."
The speaker sounded like a middle-aged man.
Since Xi Shenlian lived in one of the most upscale residential complexes in Sakura District.
Its residents were all rich or powerful.
They were practically all local dignitaries.
Naturally, every outsider entering or leaving had to be questioned and verified.
Thus, Xi Shenlian was not surprised in the slightest and simply replied:
"Yes, let them in."
Soon.
The doorbell rang.
As Xi Shenlian opened the door.
Three figures dressed in long maid dresses appeared before him.
They were not wearing any flashy special maid outfits, merely elegant and traditional long maid dresses.
Even so, they looked beautiful and proper in them.
Of the three, the one standing at the front was the oldest, Ye Qisao. Behind her stood the younger Ye Qishi and Ye Qili.
At that moment, just as Xi Shenlian sized up the three after opening the door.
The three of them also secretly began examining Xi Shenlian with their eyes.
Then.
Ye Qisao was the first to bow, introducing herself neither obsequiously nor arrogantly:
"Hello. I'm Ye Qisao, a maid candidate invited by the homeowner. The two standing behind me are my younger sisters, who are also maid candidates."
Xi Shenlian stepped aside and said:
"I'm the homeowner. Come in."
Those words instinctively prompted Ye Qisao and the other two to make a guess.
Are they the offspring of some major family...?
Aside from that background.
They could not understand what else would allow someone Xi Shenlian's age to purchase a house in this residential complex.
And on one of its finest floors, at that.
After everyone had taken their seats.
Compared with the three women's straight backs, Xi Shenlian was much more relaxed. He got straight to the point:
"First, I need to ask a question."
"You three should all have been professional maids from some major family, right?"
"Why did you leave your original family?"
Xi Shenlian could easily see the reason for the issue.
Given the three women's ages.
Their more than ten years of experience as maids could truly only have been achieved by professional maids raised by a major family from childhood.
And for people who had worked in a major family since they were only a few years old and grown with access to all kinds of resources from that family, Xi Shenlian did not believe they could leave without a reason.
Just the cost of raising the three of them for more than a decade.
He did not think it would be a small figure...
The pile of certificates alone obviously represented a huge expense!
Whether it was the examination fees or hiring professionals to teach the three of them, all of it was extraordinarily time- and labor-intensive.
Based on those fundamentals.
The major family that had raised the three of them could never have let them go for no reason!
Did they think that family was some charitable talent-training institution?
